Chapter 3: An Average Autumn Day
Alex stood up from the table he was sitting at. As he did so, his three partners joined him. "Did you hear that?" Midnight said. "It sounds", Tris said, "as if an attack is taking place." At this, Uriah added in, "This is hardly the time of night to be fighting." As he said this, a massive airship hovered through the sky towards the fighting. Alex smirked at Uriah. "You were saying?" They all laughed. "Come on", he said, "let's go check it out."
"You were worth every cent, truly you were", Roman muttered as he took one last look at his dead guard. He looked up at girl. "Well, Red, many things have made it quite an eventful evening. As much as I'd love to stay-", he said raising his cane which in turn opened up a reticle, "this is where we say goodbye." The girl, sensing danger, quickly shot upward into the air. She narrowly dodged an explosive blast that came from Roman's cane. She looked up to see Roman had disappeared. Looking behind her, she spotted him climbing a ladder and followed. Blasting herself to the rooftop, she shouted while her voice cracked, "HEY!" Roman cursed. "Persistent." As he said it, a hovercraft appeared and Roman hopped on. The girl simply stared in awe, at a loss for words. "End of the line, Red!" he yelled. He tossed a dust-filled crystal at her and took aim. "Look out!" was all the girl heard before she was knocked aside by a pair of arms while a blast shook the ground where she had been.
She shook her head and saw the ship retreating. This quickly changed when she noticed that she was pinned by her rescuer, a boy who's face had landed just a little too close to hers for comfort. "Uh, um" he stuttered, "sorry." He lifted himself up and helped her up. "What's your name?" She answered, "Ruby, Ruby Rose. Thank you for saving-", she looked back and saw three others, "um, who are they?" Looking back, he quickly said, "Oh, I'm sorry! Ruby, these are my teammates Uriah, Tris, and Midnight. I'm Alex, the leader of Team AUTM." Ruby immediately grew interest. "Oh! Team? Do you all attend the prestigious Beacon?" One of the girls spoke up. "Well, I don't know about prestigious. After all, we do have Uriah over there." She laughed. "Tris! That's mean." However, he also laughed. Midnight looked at Ruby. "We have all before made fun of one another. It just happens" Ruby stood in awkward silence. She finally decided to talk. "So, where are you guys-?" she was saying when she was cut off by a new voice. "RUBY ROSE! Come with me please." It was a huntress, a female trained in the arts of fighting the Grimm, the evil creatures in the world. "We have much to discuss."
