A little word to everyone. First of all, to all who are not sponsers of Rooster Teeth, I am SO sorry you have to deal with their shit! Trust me. I feel you're pain. Second, I have a confession. I hate the trip episodes of RWBY:Volume 2. So, we will be focusing on Cinder a while, if you don't mind. So, without further ado, here's chapter 15.
Cinder's POV
While in the ship, I looked out of the window to see nothing but dark trees below. I saw no one in sight, maybe because it was midnight. I don't know. I expect to see a pack of Grimm at this time. Oh well. Emerald was still piloting the ship and Mercury was messing with his shoes. He then walked to Emerald, slowly putting his arm around her shoulders. I pretended to be asleep because, hey. This might be cute or at least entertaining.
"Man, been a long night so far, huh?" He whispered in her ear. "Yeah." She responded, still keeping her eyes on what's outside. "What do you think of all this?" "Honestly, I think Cinder's little love adventure is pretty fun. For once I get to see her care for something other then herself." He stated to her. "I think it's okay. But why go all this way for a 15 year old?" She asked. Mercury shrugged, "I don't know. But It's good she finally made a connection. Me and you have a connection with each other. Not the love type, but enough to call us a cat and dog sort of friendship. Cinder has been alone this whole time. Yeah, she's had us on her side, but she never had a true connection. She's finally found someone to fight for."
Maybe he was right. For once, I truly had something to fight for. Ruby Rose. She's my confidence, the one that pushes me to fight. That pushes me to do this crazy shit like right now... That's why... "Dammit. Mercury, can you wake up Cinder for me?" She questioned. "Alright. But if I get punched, you're next." He threatened then walked to me and touched my shoulder lightly. "Cinder. Wake up." I shot up after he said that. His expression turned to fear as he saw me get up quickly. "What is it?" I asked. He signaled Emerald I was up and she told me, "The ship is almost out of fuel." "Where are we?" I replied. "I see a couple of destroyed buildings afar but I don't know." I walked to her and looked out the main window. It was still the same thing. Just trees. But, it's better then being in a restricted area. "Go down." I commanded and she landed in a small field.
After the landing, I walked out to the grassland. Mercury jumped out, falling on his ass trying to be cool and Emerald walked towards me. "Great. The damn thing is out of gas! What now?!" She yelled in anger. "What do you think. We walk. Let's go!" I ordered them, until she stopped me. "Hold up! Aren't there, like, Grimm. Out here?" She questioned. I turned to her, nodding. "But we have our weapons, right? So chill out and come on! Both of you!" I told them then made a flame in my hand. "Just follow my flames. I know what I'm doing." With that, we walked down the dark quiet forest.
As we walked, Emerald and Mercury were talking and laughing. Probably talking about me behind my god damn back. So immature. Well, at least I had a good look at the moon. It was a little broken on the right side of it, but still, it looked nice. Wish I could've took a picture of it. Probably show it to Ruby or use it as a background. "...I'm starting to think. This wasn't a very good idea." Mercury blurted out. "That's not what you said earlier." I said. "Wait! You heard me and Emerald on the ship?!" He shouted. "Yeah. You said this was fun in a way." I smirked and he groaned in a little annoyance. I stopped and so did they.
"What is it, Cinder?" Emerald questioned. "I hear footsteps. Hide." I whispered. We all jumped into a bush then took out our weapons slowly. The footsteps got louder, until they stopped. The person probably heard us. For some reason, I was kind of scared. I don't know why, but it pissed me off. I'm not supposed to be scared! I'm supposed to be brave and strong not a coward! Suddenly, I heard someone speak. "Dammit! Where the hell is fucking Torchwick!?" The high pitched voice said, stomping the ground below. "He's probably in that city over there." Another voice responded, this one was kind of deep and sounded like a older man. "Impossible! The whole place is fucking destroyed! How can he be there?!" The other one yelled. "I'll sniff him out, just chill out." The man commanded. "Fine! Just shut up!" The voice called out again. "Isreal! Before we move see if anyone is here!" "Okay, master." A young boy voice replied and walked towards us.
Emerald was ready to attack and Mercury lifted up his foot, about to strike. But, me? I just kept quiet. It was for the best. Suddenly, a light flashed. It kind of looked like glitter. Which reminded me of a attack I've seen before. Out of nowhere, everything he slashed exploded! We all got down before it hit us. After that, the travelers walked away towards the broken city. I watched them walk away with anger stuck in my eyes. Who was that? And how did they find us?! I don't know, but I hope we see them again.
"Who the hell was that?!" Mercury yelled. "I don't know," I answered. "But maybe they might know where Ruby is!" "Are you out of you're mind!? They almost killed us!" Emerald responded. "Still! If we don't follow we might not find them! Besides they're trying to find Roman! Which means Ruby is definitely out there! Now lets go!" I shouted and ran off. The two followed me, I hope they can keep up. Because I ain't stopping. Don't worry, Ruby.
I'm coming!
