A/N This is a heartbreaking one. This is what happened to Drei after the train fight. I put it as an omake because I normally never write from his perspective.
Another note: The remake is out at the time this was posted.
Thank you all for reading, I hope you enjoy the first chapter of the remake!
Omake 3: As I Lay Dying
He flew through the air, and saw Weiss' rapier rise, a blue glow at its tip. Drei yelped in agony, feeling something spread through his body.
In that moment, he saw a vision in his eyes...
-_-_-_-
He wandered the streets, stomach empty and nothing to eat. There was the sound of a human whistling, and he looked at the street. A woman with a bag of food was walking, and he approached it.
Green eyes locked onto him, and he shrunk down in submission, letting loose a whimper. Some humans would yell and throw things at him, and every attempt for food was a risk. But he was desperate to try.
The woman frowned, opening her bag and taking out a piece of food before breaking some of it off and placing it on the ground for him.
He scampered forward, barely able to contain his excitement. Snapping up the food, it was gone. But the woman had already placed a second offering at his paws.
As he ate, she offered more until the item of food was completely gone. To his shock, she produced a second one from the bag. He was overjoyed, eating until he couldn't any more. A full belly made him sleepy, and as he laid down, a warm hand carefully touched his head. He moved into the touch with a grunt and his eyes drooped close. The hand moved from between his ears all the way down to his tail tip. Soon he was asleep, feeling himself getting lifted from the street...

He blinked sleepily, seeing a pair of silver eyes meet his. He needed to pee, so he squatted down and let loose.
The silver-eyed girl yelled, and he shrunk down. Suddenly a hand reached and gave his head a pat, her yelling turning to soft words.
-_-_-_-
Drei blinked, it was hard to breathe and he felt weak for the first time. His eyes looked down to see ice was below him, stained crimson. He realized what had happened, and whimpered.
All the good memories filled his head.
But Ruby would be safe. Neo would be safe. Roman would be safe... they had to be, or else he had failed them.
Had he failed them? Drei knew his life was draining, but before he closed his eyes he asked one thing to whatever forces compelled life. Was I bad? As he released a final sigh, Drei imagined Ruby, his mistress, and could almost hear her voice.
"You're a good boy, Drei. I love you." Silver eyes full of love filled his vision, before he saw nothing.
