Chapter 8: Prologue 8
"I have my mother and only her, I never knew my father, my grandfather resents me for being female he only values that I could possibly give him great grandsons, just like my mother could give him grandsons. He torments me, tells me I'm a disappointment to my family."
"Serah, get up you can't sit in your room all day and do nothing" a voice called out.
"Mum, I can do what I want, I did get into Beacon like you hoped I would" Serah called back. Serah was a short girl with white hair and light blue eyes that looked silver from the side. She got up and got changed into a deep blue combat skirt that faded into white as it progressed upwards. She fastened her weapon to her right side and walked over to a large wood door with two gold handles on it, she opened to face a woman who appeared to be similar to her. She was the same height with white hair and blue eyes, a light blue combat skirt at the hem and end of the sleeves with the rest of it white. Fastened on her right side was a rapier with completely loaded dust chambers of varying colours. The biggest feature that distinguished the two to be different was the scar on the older woman's face.
"Mother" Serah said
"You realise you need to stop wasting time" Her mother said back.
"Stop treating me like a child" Serah yelled.
"Stop being one then" She yelled back. They both continued arguing with each other for fifteen minutes until someone approached them.
"Um, Weiss?" the voice said.
"What!" Weiss screamed. She turned and realised she was yelling at Ruby.
"Ruby, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you." Weiss apologised.
"It's alright, I know you didn't mean it" Ruby said back. Weiss flashed a smile and turned back to Serah.
"Training room now" Weiss said in anger. Serah walked past both women in anger clearly showing. Weiss started to follow, but Ruby grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her around.
"You know they both need to know, it can't be kept a secret forever" Ruby started.
"They can't know, no one can especially my father" Weiss responded.
"They will find out eventually, and it will devastate them" Ruby said softly.
"We made a promise, we all did, never to tell anyone what happened" Weiss said back.
"I know but-"
"But nothing, Ruby, we must keep our promise" Weiss said.
"You make everything so difficult, Weiss" Ruby whispered.
"We are two parts of the whole that makes team RWBY, we do what must be done as all huntsman and huntresses must." Weiss stated.
"Whatever, just make sure Serah knows you still care" Ruby smiled.
"You know I hate it when you do that" Weiss smirked.
"I'm serious, look after her, just be her mother for now and show her that she needs family and everything can't be done on her own" Ruby said.
"All right let's go" Weiss said back. Both women walked down to the training room to see Serah standing and waiting to fight. Weiss simply smiled and stood opposite her daughter and took position, Weiss' positioning was perfect from her years of practice while it seemed Serah was more aggressive in her stance. Ruby stood between them and raised a flag and brought it back down to signal the start of the match, Serah closed the distance between her and her mother and quickly started wildly attacking while Weiss easily parried her attacks and leapt around her showing her athletic superiority over her daughter. The anger on Serah's face was being clearly shown as her attacks were consistently missing their mark and Weiss was leaping around her. Weiss started her counter attack by summoning a glyph beneath Serah's feet and launching her up in the air, she followed up by summoning another glyph and launched Serah against the wall. Serah got up quickly and threw her weapon at her mother, Weiss caught it in a glyph and dropped it to the ground. She loaded up a dust chamber and stabbed the ground, launching ice to catch and encase Serah in ice. Ruby waved a flag to signal the match was over, Weiss walked up and cracked the ice open to release Serah, she stumbled forward as she fell to the ground and was caught by Ruby and Weiss. Weiss walked over to Serah's weapon and closely inspected it.
"So, have you given it a name yet?" Weiss asked
"What?" Serah replied.
"Have. You. Given It. A Name Yet?" Weiss said again.
"T-Bone" Serah said back.
"Excuse me" Weiss said.
"It's called T-Bone" Serah said.
"I think that's a good name" Ruby said.
"Thank you, Miss Rose" Serah said.
"Excuse me" Ruby said.
"I mean, Ruby" Serah smiled.
"Better" Ruby chuckled.
"First rule of battle: never lose your weapon, it is your life" Weiss started.
"Second rule: battle according to your fighting style and weapon of choice, do you know what that means Serah?"
"Weiss!" Ruby interjected.
"No Ruby, if this was a fight to the death, she would be dead" Weiss scolded.
"I know Mother, I use a dust rapier like you" Serah said. "I fight too aggressively, and my weapon won't come back if I throw it."
"Serah, I'm trying to protect you, I don't want you to get hurt or worse because you want to be a huntress" Weiss said solemnly.
"She will be a great huntress just like her mother" Ruby assured. Weiss smiled at the comment and handed Serah her weapon, and started to walk out of the room.
"Let's go, we have lunch with Team Reginald, Adam, Blake, Lance, Yang, Sun and Professor Ozpin" Weiss said. All three of them walked out of the training room and left for lunch.
A/N: Sorry if my chapter's confusing, but I rushed it to meet the weekly deadline I set for myself. Also I need OCs to be added into this fanfic, also don't forget to review, PM because I do like to hear feedback from others. The name for Serah's weapon was subliminally inspired so look it up if you can find the name and as always RWBY and its characters belong to Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth and if someone is able to can you please draw a cover for my story because my drawing skill sucks.
