Chapter 10: Prologue 10
"I've relied on my friends and family all my life, but now I don't know who to trust because all the lies, the deception and the killing. I protect the innocent from the monsters that are worse than the Grimm and I stop them, but I need a team to watch my back."
A bike roared down the streets of Vytal leaving the light posts as a blur, the bike exited the highway and went down a large street that was bustling with people staggering along and some holding up their friends. The bike stopped in a parking lot and the rider removed his helmet. He was wearing a black jacket with a helmet in flames on the pocket, he also wore dark grey jeans with khaki boots. On his wrists were two black gloves with yellow pinstripes, he had short blonde hair and lilac eyes that were red in the centre. He walked past a group of people who were stumbling along the footpath, as he passed them he stopped a woman and smiled at her. She was tall with long blonde hair and lilac coloured eyes, she wore short shorts, a yellow tee shirt with a brown jacket over the top. She wore brown boots with black fingerless gloves and golden wristbands.
"Lance, what are you doing here?" the woman asked.
"Mum, it's almost 3 in the morning and you're in the literally the party central of the city" Lance replied.
"What's the problem?" his mum replied.
"You said you were going to stop doing this to yourself" Lance spat back.
"I'm a grown up so you listen to me; you do what I tell you, not the other way around so if I want to be out until 3 in the morning I will" she said back as her eyes flashed red quickly.
"Listen to me, everybody worries what you're doing while you're still trying to relive your youth. I get it I ruined your life and you didn't want me so if you really want to act like a child that's perfectly fine with me, just don't ask me to help you when things turn bad." Lance started, before he could continue he was slapped in the face by her and she stormed off. Lance held his stinging cheek, he looked down to the gutter and saw a puddle and standing to his left he recognised his aunt standing next to him in her signature red hood.
"Aunty" Lance said.
"Lance" she responded.
"I guess you saw that?" Lance asked.
"Yeah I did, you should really be more sensitive to her" she said back.
"She only cares for herself" Lance muttered.
"No she doesn't, you know she loves you it's just after her accident she had you and she stopped being a huntress so she could raise you" his aunt said to him.
"Why?" Lance simply asked.
"So many answers to that one question" his aunt said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Lance asked just as confused.
"You asked 'why' which could mean anything such as why did she keep me, or why did she stop being a huntress, or why does she act the way she does. Get it?" she said back to him
"Yeah, thanks" Lance smiled.
"See, you should smile more often" she laughed.
"Thank you aunt Ruby" Lance said. He hugged Ruby and walked around the street until he found his mother on her motorcycle next to his one, Lance chuckled and walked up to his bike and got on.
"So, you wanna go home?" Lance asked his mother.
"Let's go" she chuckled before she raced ahead of him.
"Cheater" Lance mumbled to himself before racing to catch up. Both bikes rode along the streets side by side taking in the sites and making their way home as mother and son.
A/N: Here's chapter 10 only 1 more chapter until I can start the main story so only one more week for submissions for OCs and there's only three spots left, but they have to be antagonist characters, so sorry if I disappoint. Also review and PM and as always RWBY and its characters belong to Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth.
