(Opening Theme: Let's Just Live Performed by Casey Lee Williams)

Fire had surrounded the night sky as the sound of Grimm roaring in the distance and screams were heard as well, most of the screams were heard the last sounds anyone had ever heard. Sounds of gunfire were heard as well, and sounds of fighting, but it didn't matter to those that tried.

What had cut through all of the sounds was the sound of a baby's cry.

A young woman wearing a gray cloak and a dress colored in the shade of blue, ran through the snow away from something in the distance. In her arms she carried a small bundle wrapped in layers of blankets that had been the source of the crying. Eventually the young woman had stopped running and hid behind from a tree, taking deep breaths as she held the baby close. The baby continued to cry, the little arms reaching to her mother.

"Shh…" The young woman said softly using one of her hands to take her little ones fingers, "It's okay sweetie. It's okay mommy's here. Mommy's here."

She kissed the baby's head, and the cries had softened; the mother rested her forehead against the little ones.

"I won't let them take you…"

The young woman heard a tree snap in the distance, making her go silent. The baby was on the verge to cry again, but she started to bounce her gently in order to prevent her from crying. She started to look around as she started to move, trekking through the snow that was beneath her feet. Finally she saw a hollow tree with an opening large enough for any small animal to fit into.

Or even a little baby.

Wrapping her baby good and tight with the blankets she went over to the tree, and placed the baby inside, making sure that the baby was comfortable and secure.

"Stay here, alright sweetheart." The mother said to her child, "I'll come back for you when it's safe."

The baby was about to cry again when its parent had to leave, but she shushed her gently as she softly hummed a little tune she thought of in her head. The baby seemed to have stopped the crying as it listened to the mother's song. After a few moments, she noticed that the baby started to fall asleep.

"Remember mommy loves you… She will always love you…"

She kissed the baby's cheek as it started to follow asleep. She started to back up, treading softly as not to wake her. She started to make her way towards where she heard the sound of the foot steps as she armed herself. She knew she was far from the town she lived in, and everything was dark and the only light that was around her was the pale of the shattered moon high above the sky.

Her semblance activated however, and she was able to pierce through the darkness, to see more clearly, and hopefully she would catch eyes on who had been following her; Her weapon, a battle spear had been armed.

She soon heard someone, run swiftly through the bushes nearby. She turned around as she heard more of the sounds, but she couldn't catch a glimpse.

"I know you're out there! Show yourself!"

The sounds came again, and she turned, but once more, she couldn't catch the person's view, "Stop playing games!" Everything went silent around them, only the sound of her breathing was heard. Just when she thought she had eyes on the attacker, an unknown assailant rushed her from behind and she had blacked out.

The next time she woke up she found herself over someone's shoulder, her cloak hood removed revealing her magenta hair and purple eyes. She saw her wrists were tied and caught glimpse of a scorpion tail, waving in a sinister way, as she watched herself being carried somewhere deeper into the forest.

Finally after what seemed like hours, she found herself being thrown down to the ground roughly into the snow. She saw that she was thrown in front of someone, when she caught a glimpse from someone who wore nothing, but black.

"I have brought her to you my lady." A voice of a man had said, "Just as you said."

The mother looked up, and saw a familiar woman wearing a black cloak, covering her face, and most of her body; though the only thing that was seen her hand that was surrounded with black veins, and her skin, as pale as the snow itself. Though her face was covered the mother clearly saw her eyes glow orange, with no reflection, giving her a cold stare. Beside her was two other men, one tall and slender, and the other one muscular and more lean than the other. She turned to the men, including the one who brought her before her.

"Watts, Tyrian, Hazel." She said to them, "I'll take care of her. Go and continue searching for the child. When you find her, send the Messenger to me, and make sure you keep her alive till I reach you."

The three men, with the names Tyrian, Hazel and Watts, nodded, and went to do as they were told, leaving her the only one with the woman before her. The mother looked to her wrists; from her sleeve she took out a small blade and started to cut the ropes from around her wrists but she did it without her knowing. It wasn't long before the woman spoke to her.

"Trinity…" She said, "You've been on the run for all this time, all these years. You've been hiding from your own family bloodline… Did you honestly think you could hide your child from me?"

The mother, named Trinity turned to her slightly as she realized something , "... You were watching me… For how long…?"

"... Since you first discovered you were with a child." The woman replied, "... I had to make sure you were in tact, until you delivered her."

"... So I was just another pawn?" Trinity said, "Like my mother?"

"... And now like your mother, I regret to say, now that it's been a year since you bought your child into this world you've outlived your usefulness…" She said.

Trinity looked to the woman, who had kneeled in front of her, "What do you want with my daughter…? Why do you need her?"

"What I want with her is none of your concern." She replied, "Though, I can tell you I don't plan on taking her tonight. I only plan on, giving her something."

Trinity didn't understand what she meant until she realized, what she was holding in her other hand. "No." Trinity said, her eyes widened in horror, "You can't! She's too young, she'll die like the others if she's not strong enough!"

"Something tells me she'll be different from the others…" She said.

"Please! She's only a baby! I don't know what you want with her but you can't do this! Please don't get her involved!"

"Her life is no longer of your concern."

"Her life DOES concern me! She's my child!"

Trinity broke out of her restraints after the rope was weak enough, and she grabbed her weapon that was tossed to the side earlier; the woman took a step back, but she was strangely calm. With her battle spear in hand, she gave the woman a glare.

"I WON'T LET YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH HER!" Trinity yelled as she charged at her; the woman herself just stood there. Before anyone knew what had happened, their was a sudden ring, and Trinity was once again on her knees; her own weapon had been shattered in pieces, the only thing intact was her blade. There was a light shimmer around her body, indicating that her aura had been broken. The woman, now revealing herself to be Salem, stood before her, unscaved, only her cloak had been partly torn.

"... Your as foolish as your father was." Salem said, as she went to pick up the blade that was once from her spear, "... Did you think you had a chance to defeat me?"

"I may be defeated today…" Trinity said, "...But someone will stop you one day. If not me… If not Ozpin, than someone else will."

"They'll meet the same fate, as you and others have." Salem said to her with the blade in hand, "Be sure to give your family and your father my regards when you see them."

Salem held Trinity's head so that she would look her dead in the eye. Trinity knew this would be the end for her; she shut her eyes as tear rolled down her cheek.

"My dear little Destiny… My dear sweet Roman… Please stay safe…" She said under her breath.

With a thrust of the blade, it had gone clean through her chest, and her vision of the world was coated with red.

A young teenage boy shot his eyes open after witnessing what he had assumed was some kind of a nightmare. He ran his fingers through his hair as he tried to process what happened. He gathered his thoughts and looked to the window, seeing the soon already began to raise in the distance. He took a deep breath and let out a sigh, as he tried to forget about the dream all together, though-

"Oscar, are you okay?"

He let out a scream again as he jumped, nearly falling out of his bed, though he seemed to have calm down when he saw a young girl with short magenta hair and two parts of her bangs orange; her eye green and the other orange with black veins seen around it. Her outfit consisting of a purple hoodie with a hole in the side and short brown pants, with black crops under it; She looked spooked about something too and she appeared to be floating.

"Destiny!" The young boy named Oscar said, before whispering, "What did I tell you about sneaking up like that!?"

"I'm really sorry!" Destiny said, putting her hands together and bowed her head, "I didn't mean too!"

The young boy, named Oscar, stood up on his feet, and brushed himself, "When did you get back?"

"A few minutes ago." Destiny replied, "I saw you talking in your sleep and I got worried. It sounded like a nightmare."

"It's… It's nothing." Oscar said, "But, could you maybe stop floating off the ground like that? It's kind of freaking me out."

Destiny didn't know what he meant, until she looked down at her feet, "Oh sorry." She let her feet touch the ground gently, and she fixed up her shirt, "I guess, I'm still getting used to this."

"You and me both." Oscar said to her; she couldn't help but laugh nervously. Oscar stepped out of his room and Destiny followed behind. As he shut the door behind him, Destiny seemed to have gone through the door no problem. She followed by Oscar's side as he went down the ladder, her feet touching the ground gently. As she stepped outside with him to take in the sun, she couldn't help but look to the ground with a sad look on her face, as she saw the sun cast Oscar's shadow, no shadow was cast from her. She watched as he did his usual work around the farm.

It was strange for Oscar, to have this strange little girl here, though strangely for him he had grown used to her presence despite the short time they've known one another. The first time Oscar met her, he found her in tears in the barn, crying about something. When he went to comfort her, as her what was wrong, his hand had gone right through her body and of course, he freaked out that had gotten the attention of his Aunt. Much more to his surprise was the fact that his Aunt, couldn't even see her. It was strange, insane to him even, he had almost made himself believe that he was dreaming this up. He at first, tried to get her to go away and leave him alone, but she always came back despite him shouting at her, making her even more upset than she already was. After seeing her stick with him for two days, he had asked her as to why she would even stick around.

She simply told him that he was the only one she could talk to since no one else could see her. She told him, she found out she could only talk through the Grimm because of her eye, and it would scare anyone that she tried to talk to. Oscar though he still found it hard to believe he let her stay and eventually apologized to her about yelling at her. Now for some time, she would come and go on the farm he and his Aunt called home. He didn't know why exactly she did; all she told him was she was looking for some people. She would disappear for at least a few days, but come back and stay for a week, but it wasn't of her own control.

He didn't know why it was in this pattern, in fact she didn't even know herself, but that's how it went, ever since she first appeared to him.

Oscar was busy working on the garden that was at the front of the farm, and Destiny watched as he dug in between the rows of dirt as she sat at the side.

"I really wish I could help you out with your work." Destiny said to him honestly, "Just as my way of saying thanking you for letting me hang out with you."

"Yeah, but you can't exactly touch anything solid." Oscar said to her, "Except for the ground."

"I guess your right." Destiny said laughing a little.

"Any luck on finding your friends?"

"I only found one of them. But the others… I'm not sure where they are."

"You must've been at least, across the whole world by now. Why not take a break?"

Destiny sighed at this, "... I would if I could, but… I really miss them. I don't know how long I've been asleep but, I just want to find them. And I want them to find me too."

Oscar took his tool and put onto the side, before reaching for a bucket filled with seeds. He started to plant them, "If you've really been away from your body, how come you don't try to find it, no offense?"

"I would, but that's thing, I wouldn't even know where to start looking." Destiny said, "It's like I said before. The place where I was when I woke up, the last thing I remember was saw red and strange crystals, and a woman who was like me*... The next time when I went to sleep, I found myself like this. This kind of thing never happened to me before, never in my life."

(*A reference back to the teaser of this story, titled The Shadow of Grimm: Destiny)

Oscar seemed befuddled by this, "Red and strange crystals? I wish I could help you with remembering, but there isn't a place like that around here, or at least from what I've heard and read."

"I don't know." Destiny said, "Maybe, I'm just thinking too much, and I've never been really good with memory. I want to know, where I am, but… I want to know if the others are okay too."

"Just… Take one step at a time." Oscar said to her, as he finished up planting the seeds, "You can't exactly rush these things you know."

"I guess…" She said with a shrug.

Destiny looked around the area of the farm, and she watched the sun rise from the distance, as did Oscar for a moment. She took note of every color in the sky as the sun rose from the horizon; she made sure to remember every single detail about it. "You know something…" Destiny said, "Despite the situation I'm in, I do like it here. It just seems relaxing."

"Yeah, right…" Oscar said, looking to the ground before turning to her, "What you've never seen a view like this before?"

Destiny shook her head in reply, "I've always lived in the city, with my dad, and we don't take a lot of vacations, so no. I've only seen these kind of views in picture books, that… That…"

Her words had trailed off when she thought of her dad, and her friends, and her eyes averted from Oscar. The young farm boy noticed this from the little girl.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked with concern.

"... I just miss them…" Destiny said still not making eye contact.

Oscar placed the bucket to the side and went over to her, taking a seat beside her. "Look, I'm not sure how much help I can be to find your friends, and your dad, or even… well where your body is. But I'll try if you remember anything else."

Destiny finally turned to Oscar slightly, she still didn't make eye contact, but she said to him, "... Thank you."

Oscar smiled to her, and went to place his hand on her shoulder, but it ended up going through. Destiny and Oscar couldn't help but laugh at this. "Right, I kind of forgot about that." Oscar said rubbing the back of his head.

"Yeah." Destiny said, in between her laughs, "Still trying to get used to it."

"I better go put these tools away." Oscar said getting up, "Since I'm done with all of my chores for now."

"I'll keep an eye on things." Destiny said.

Oscar smiled to her, and gathered up his things. He than went into the farm to put the tools back where they were. But after he put away all the tools, something caught his eye in the mirror. He went closer to the mirror and placed his hands on the sink, looking at the mirror more closely.

"... Hello?..." Oscar said, talking to his own reflection.

Oscar waited, and waited for a reply, but none came. He let out a sigh, as a thought came over that he may just be-

"Hello, I'm Professor Ozpin!"

Oscar suddenly screamed as he jumped back, and fell into the hay behind him. Destiny heard this and floated into the barn. "Are you okay?" She asked before she noticed him in the pile of hay, "... What are you doing?" Oscar couldn't even say anything as he was just left stunned by a voice he heard suddenly, and all he did was look at the girl that was floating beside him, just left speechless at this point.

"Oscar!" His Aunt called out, "You be careful with those tools!"
