Ok so here's chapter 2, in the chapters to follow I'll focus on one character then move to another, I will change character every chapter so we can see when it all lines up. They will all meet again and that is when the twist happens. I do have another story that I'm doing and one more in the wood works but I'll start that one later as I'm trying to think of how I'll play it out.

Oh and for this story Ruby and Yang will be adoptive sisters not half.

RWBY belongs to Monty Oum and Rooster teeth

Rangers Apprentice belongs to John Flanagan

The Fallen Rose of Araluen

Ruby POV

I woke with a massive head ache and a really sore back. My eye lids did not want to open. I could hear shuffling around the room I was in. I hear people whisper and some gasp. I slowly manage to open my eyes and I start to speck.

"Where on Remnant am I" I say out loud to the lady in the chair next to me. "Umm, hello, can someone please tell me where I am"? I ask the people in the room. On closer inspection and with my eyes finally open I see that there are maids in the room. I could feel one more person's presence but I can't pin point it anywhere. As I spoke the maids looked terrified as if I was some sort of monster. I look around and see I'm in a massive bed that would make any king size bed feel shame at how small it was.

As I look at the sheets I notice they are covered in rose petals like when I use my semblance or when I go to the cliff alter. But it seems to not have an off switch. I do a nervies laugh.

"Hehehe. I can explain the rose petals but you all look like your about to call me a witch or something hehehe". The fat maid screams and runs from the room. "What's wrong with her" I ask, rubbing my ears and hoping they will still work.

"MONSTER"! Another maid screams and runs from the room. What are they talking about I say, so I look into a mirror and almost scream. My whole face was covered in rose petals like they grew there. As I walk petals fall off my arms, hands, hair, face and legs but new ones instantly grow back.

I start to back away and tried to get away from the mirror, when I start to feel funny and suddenly appear on top of the biggest cabinet in the room. I don't know how but without using my semblance I seemed to teleport to the cabinet without even trying. "What just happened"? I whisper, and as soon as the petals were on my skin they vanished. All the petals around the room also vanished without a trace.

As I get down, 10 guys with swords come charging into the room, only to see me standing next to a chair. They looked around and saw that nothing is wrong, they leave the room, and one of them mumbling about 'a girl made of petals, what nonsenses'.

I see this as a chance so I grab my things, get dressed and get out of the room. I slowly walk down the hall, hiding behind pillars and objects down the hall. I move as quiet as possible to the window on the far corridor wall, I open it and see that I can make the 200 meter drop but will need a run up.

I back up and run with no semblance, just before I jump out the window a hand shoots out of nowhere and pulls me to the side.

"Didn't think you would escape that easy did you". Says the man in a green cloak. I turn around and gasp at how fast this guy moved and how well he hide in the room and the corridor. The man was not overly tall but his grip was like iron and his stance was perfectly balanced. I started to wince at the pain from how strong the grip is.

"And where do you think you're going miss" Asked the cloaked man. His grip lessened as he sees he's coursing me pain. "So miss why don't you stop trying to run away and tell me who you are"? He asks me in an emotionless tone. It reminded me of how Blake would talk. I must have looked in a panic all of a sudden. He looked at me worried, I broke free of his grip and ran.

Will POV

The girl in the red cloak ran down the corridor getting faster and faster as she runs. I give chase but even with my speed and stamina the girl keeps pulling away. 'Haha I bet she could give tug a run for his money' I say half joking.

(Elsewhere a horse sneezes, which scares the hell out of the stable hand).

As I chase her down the hall I see her stop at the corner and look back. She looks at the window and decides it's the best option. She pulls out the block of red and black metal she had when we found her and pressed what looked like a button. What it became made me stop in my tracks. The block of metal changed shape and parts moved and I could hear small parts moving as this thing became a massive scythe.

She swings at the window and cuts clean through. I'm shocked, when I finally look at her weapon, it looks like it would way a tone but she swings it around like it was nothing. She turns around and puts her hood on. A breeze blows in through the window letting snow and ice into the corridor. As it hit her cloak, the snow seemed to become white rose petals, then red petals seemed to flow from the back of the cloak. It was a strange sight. I could see only the bottom left side of her cheek and from what I could see, a single tear fell down as she looked at the white petals fall in the wind. The tear then changed into a red petal but with a silver out line and floated towards me. It lands on the floor and like the rest it disappears.

She turns and sees a mountain not far from the castle and jumps. Now normally jumping from a window is not smart, being thrown from a window happens when you deserve it but this window was 200 meters off the ground, and she jumps like it was nothing. I run to the window and see a man standing next to me.

I was the knight of the oak leaf, Kurokuma (Black Bear), Crepe du Chene (Order of the Oak leaf), Sunrise warrior, the princesses' champion and one of my oldest friends. Horace.

"Who was that?" He asked confused.

"That I believe was the girl who smashed into the throne room 2 days ago and destroyed the windows. And by the looks of it she also made the rose petals". I say still in a bit of shock.

We look out the window and see a faint trail of red petals heading towards the far off mountain. "And I think I know where she's going" I say as I run to the gate to get tug and head to the mountain.

Ruby POV

As I run I feel a familiar feeling run through me. It felt like I've seen this place before. Like a distant memory fling through my mind. As I move the feeling becomes more familiar as I move through the dead forest near the mountains peek.

As I approach the top my vision goes hazy, I'm taken back to a place I know all too well. The peek has a flat ground and a cliff on the far side. I look so a small rise on the edge of this cliff and I see the wind going wild at this point. I slowly walk to this spot and as I get closer more memories fill my head. I remember 2 weeks before I first fought Torchwick, when I was at a place very similar to this place. I remember seeing a small alter on the top as the wind blows. Red petals fly of my cloak in a massive storm of red.

As my hand brushes a stone on the cliff it starts to fall apart into the alter on the cliff. As I look at it I start to cry harder, and as I cry the wind gets stronger. I look up and see a familiar sight, I see the ghost like figure of a lady in a white cloak. White petals flow of her cloak as I stare, she looks familiar but the name escapes me. All I know is that I can't stop crying when I see them. Then they vanish in a flurry of silver and white petals.

I fall to the ground covered in a stream of tears and a pile of rose petals. I keep crying as I start to black out once more. As I move onto my back I see the man in green before I black out.

Will POV

10 Minutes ago

As I ride Tug the trail of petals vanish faster than I can follow. The wind starts to pick up as I move through the Forest. A flash of red goes past my face. I see a mix of red and white near the top of the mountain and so I head towards the top.

5 Minutes later

As I get closer I can hear sobbing in the distance and the wind is getting extremely strong. I unmount Tug and tell him to stay. I move towards the storm of red and white. The crying is getting louder as I move closer. The wind picks up, I can see a figure in red and someone else in white, but the one in white started to vanish.

Present time

I approach the red clad girl as she lies in a pile of vanishing rose petals and snow. I move over to her and hear her mumbling "Why, why am I always remembering something from so long ago, why". She whispered / mumbled.

I look at her and I can see the pain on her face. To have such a look, the memory must have been really bad. I start to walk away when I hear a noise behind me. I look and see the rock braking and forming something.

The wind dies down, the snow stops falling and the rock is no longer together. I look at where the rock once was and now stood a small alter with word faded from time and a rose print on the top. The only words I would read wear Summer and Rose.

2 hours later Ruby POV

My eyes feel itchy from all the crying earlier, I've been awake for 5 minute now but I can feel the presence of someone in the room but I don't know where. I give up trying to find them so I sit up and look around. I'm back where I started, I sigh in a defeated way.

"Some huntress in training I showed to be, can't even get away from a guy in a green cloak. Why does my head hurt"? I look around and I can't see my cloak or Crescent Rose anywhere. I freeze as I realise the people who are holding me have my sweet heart and who knows what they are doing to her, and where is my cloak, the cloak that I've had since I was 4 years old, the cloak my mother gave me before the accident.

I get up and see I'm still in my combat skirt. I see a window to my right and I look out it. As I look down I see people walking around doing nothing at all, men in armour sparing and maids doing their work. But a group of people are surrounding a table and talking about something. Then my blood runs cold, I see one of them pick up my sweet heart and hit it with a sword hard. The sword snaps in 2. They all look amazed. Then they throw my cloak on to a torch but the torch goes out. They all look amazed. Then they bring a dagger to my cloak and I snap.

I move back, grab a chair, throw it through the window and with my semblance I run at the hole in the window. As I fall I see the petals on my skin again, I remembered what I did last time so as I fell and people looked I thought really hard and like last time appeared on the ground near the group. With one last dash I sprint to stop the dagger by any means. As I dive I move my arm in front of the dagger and it goes into my arm. The knight looks confused then angry for stopping him from stabbing the 'Invincible cloak'.

I rip the dagger out of my arm and take the cloak put it on and hug it for a second. I then pick up my sweet heart and move away. I start to head back up to the room when a group of 10 knights stop me from moving.

"And where do you think you're going you little witch" The leader of the group said. I look back at him blankly and try to walk around.

"I said where are you going you LITTLE WITCH"! He yells at me. I look with the best bored Blake impression I could give. The guy to his right steps far ward to try and grab me and says.

"He said where are you going you little witch". Says as he tries to grab my arm but I move out of the way before he could grab it. He tries again but I kick him in the stomach, which sends him flying into the group. The ones still standing brings out his sword and gets ready to strike.

"Ok that's it, get her". The leader says and they all rush at me. I deploy Crescent and deflect the first blade, I shatter the second and third blades with a reverse spin strike. I stabbed my blade into the ground and used that to kick off and knock the fourth out of the fight. I hear a cluttering sound from my left, I see 2 of the knights coming over with a pile of shields.

The knights that are left take a shield each and surround me. There is only one thing I can do at this point, I hit another button on and Crescent goes into its gun form. I spin to my left and pull the trigger. I hit the shield and it buckles and falls off his arm, I then shoot the sword and it shatters. The last 4 and their leader look at me in fear at what my weapon just did the shield and sword from this distance.

Suddenly I hear a group of footsteps, I look and see a group of people walking over to where we were. The male in the finest cloths bellows.

"What is going on here"? Says the man. The woman next to him in a beautiful dress that had her arm wrapped around a man who also looked like a knight, I look to the right of the man and see 4 men in green cloaks and a woman in a simple yet elegant dress. The knights all looked in fear at who they were talking to. I start to move back but the four in green point bows and arrows at me so I can't move.

"Your highness, we were testing out these strange things to see what they are when we were attacked by that witch. She somehow has something that can destroy our shields and swords without even touching them and it has a deafening boom sound". The knight explained, trying to get me in trouble.

"From what I've heard you stole the items from the room and tried to destroy them but could not so you make a show to everyone. Get out of my sight now". The knights all bow and leave. As they go I feel something wet on my hand. I look and see my blood, I see a clean towel on the table and clean my wound and cover it up. But I had lost to much blood and felt woozy but did not faint.

I see the group look at me and I look at them in turn. The man from before, one of the green men and the young lady in the beautiful dress all walk up to me.

"Hello little one, I am King Duncan, This is my Daughter, Princess Cassandra", at hearing that I quickly do a curtsies and bow a tiny bit and he continued to speak. "And this is Ranger Will Treaty. But now here is the big question we all have been wanting to know, who are you and where are you from"? Asked Duncan

I looked stunned for a moment, then I realised it was my turn to reply.

"Hello, my name is Ruby Rose, I'm Vale and I'm a huntress in training at Beacon academy". I say with a smile. "But can someone please tell me where on remnant am I" I ask.

"Um you're in the kingdom of Arulan, and I don't know where Remnant is but you're on Earth". Said the well-dressed woman.

I open my eyes as I hear this. "I'M WHERE" I scream, making everyone cover their ears as my thoughts travel to where my team have ended up.
