Chapter Thirteen: Justice Prevails

James, my boyfriend, just died from one of Cinder's arrow shots. She hit him right in the back and struck his heart as well. My friends and I gave him the proper burial in my village next to my parents grave. I gave him my last words and promised to find Cinder, and get revenge one last time.

"Titania, you going to be ok?" Louis asked.

I stopped crying and clenched my fists. "I will be, once we find Cinder and make her pay. We will find her and bring justice on her."

"What do you mean by bringing justice to her exactly?" Evelyn asked.

"I think it means kill her, but we aren't going to do that. " Alistair said.

"It's the only way! She has ruined everything for James and I! She will die, no matter what you all say, I will kill her myself!"

"Titania, We aren't letting you kill Cinder. This isn't the answer to everything. Killing Cinder won't bring back James, I'm sorry." Oscar said.

"I know it won't, but it just won't feel right if we don't."

"I understand that, but it's not right. Come on, we have to get back to Haven, we have been gone for too long. We must get there before something happens."

"What do you mean by that, Oscar?" Ruby asked.

"Anything bad could happen, especially what just happened here. We must go."

I slowly got off the ground and walked with the rest of my friends. I started crying and louis put his hand on my shoulder. I pushed it away and looked at him.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that, not after what just happened."

"It..it's ok. I should be sorry, that was rude of me. This isn't like me at all. I should be accepting the comfort that I'm getting."

"Don't worry about it, you don't need to apologize."

"You sure?"

"I'm sure."

I looked down at the ground and tried to smile, but I couldn't. More tears just kept rolling down my cheek. My stomach hurts, my throat was dry, and I was so tired.

"Everything will be ok, Titania. I assure you that."

Our three day trip back to Haven has finally ended, but as we got closer to the school, there was black smoke almost completely everywhere. I looked at my team and we all rushed to help the other teams. There were so many Grimm and the school was in ruins. All the other teams, SLVR, KMPL, ORNG, CRML, and MDNT were out battling the Grimm as well. Teams RWBY, JNR, CVFY, CRDL, and SSSN joined in as well. Even the huntsman and huntresses fought, too, along with Oscar. We took down every last Grimm that came and tried to keep Haven together. I looked around to see if Cinder was behind this, but no luck. I went straight towards the Haven building and entered inside. I looked on all the floors and couldn't find her. I went to the top and found her lurking over the ground.

"I thought you would show up. Surprise to see me?"

I clenched my fist and lashed my whip at her, but she dodged it. "You have ruined my life. What did James ever do? He was a gentle, kind person, and had no reason to die! He was my future and you just killed him!" I lashed at her again, but she still dodged.

"That's it. Let it all out. Show how much hatred you have towards me, but tell me one thing. Why do you sound so familiar?"

"You know exactly why!"

I heard a loud noise behind me and that was a door swinging open.

"Titania, don't!"

"Louis?"

"Aww, and what's this? You're interrupting our conversation here. That's just plain rude. Now, sit back and watch while I kill your friend."

"Wait, please, don't kill her. Spare her, and fight me."

"Louis, what are you doing? This is my fight, not yours! Leave us alone!"

"Somebody just fight me already. I'm bored."

I used my polarity to pick up as many metal pieces to throw at Louis and trap him up against a wall. "I'm sorry, but I have to."

"Titania!"

"So, did we decide?"

"Why did you kill James?"

"He betrayed me."

"Betrayed you? How?"

"See, Titania, before you met James, he was a villain, apart of my team."

"No, no, he wouldn't. I don't believe you!"

"Oh, but you should, though he didn't do much. He was the smart one on my team, had all those dastardly plans, and they never failed. One day, I told him to kill someone that he never knew. See, I told him that person was evil and had to be stopped, but he didn't believe me. So, he refused to kill anyone, and he didn't want me killing anyone either. So, what did I do? I killed that person, and James, well, he ran away and became a better person, and that's how he met you. I've been following him ever since he left, but he never knew."

"And so you just left him alone for the next four years and you decided to finally kill him, just like that?"

"Not exactly. My boss told me to give him a few years to reconsider from running away, but he just changed. So, I went after him while he was alone, and that's when he was in your village, and you decided to butt in, but I still accomplished my goal."

I clenched my fist so hard and turned my whip into the rifle gun.

"Oh, how pretty. Where did you get it?"

"None of your business!" I aimed the gun at her and slowly pulled the trigger. A bullet came out, but Cinder dodged it with her bow. She got an arrow out and placed it on her bow. She pulled her arrow back and aimed at me. She let go and I used my polarity to aim it back in her direction. She still dodged it. I shot many bullets at her, but I missed her just a little bit on each one.

"Where did you learn to aim? You can't get a single hit."

When she wasn't paying attention, I aimed at her right leg and shot her right in the knee. She screamed and got on her knees. She held onto her right knee and screamed in agony.

"That's also none of your business." I walked up to her pointing the rifle at her face.

"Wait, please. Just answer me this. Why do you look familiar? You sound like someone I know."

"Take a wild guess. You killed her just a month or two ago. That narrows it down at least right?"

"Pyrrha? How is that possible? Who are you to her?"

"Her reincarnation, and thanks to you, I had to suffer for only three years. I won't get too much into detail. Why should I when you're about to die right here!" I yelled.

"Titania, no, please. This isn't right, this isn't you. It won't bring back James. He wouldn't want this!" Louis said.

"You have no idea what he wants, but I do. He would want this. Cinder deserves to die after screwing with our futures. I would definitely want this." I cocked my gun again and pointed it at Cinder. "Say it!"

"Say what?!" Cinder asked.

"Pyrrha's last words! Say them!"

"What? Oh, you mean, 'Do you believe in destiny?' Hehe, those were some shitty last words."

"Yeah, they were. And to answer your question, no. I don't believe in destiny at all."

"Titania, no!"

All of a sudden, a bright light fell onto me. I didn't know what was going on. I heard voices, two of them. They were saying 'Don't do it.' "Pyrrha? James? Is that you?" The bright light faded away and I was caught into somebody's arms. It was Louis. I looked for Cinder and she was nowhere to be found. I dropped my weapon and fainted, Next thing I know, I woke up in my bed light headed and dizzy. Louis was in the room as well and came to my side.

"W...what happened? Wh...where am I?"

"Hey, it's alright, calm down. You're in the room. We were battling Grimm and you found Cinder at the top of the building. You were about to kill her, but a bright light hit you. Cinder was caught and brought into the building somewhere. I don't know where though, I'm sorry."

"Damn it, Louis! I had her, I was going to finish her for good. That damn bright light just had to get in my way."

"What was the light anyway?"

"I heard two voices telling me something. I think it was Pyrrha and James. They said, 'Don't do it.' Why?"

"Don't look at me, I'm not really sure. Maybe Oscar knows, or this Ozpin guy."

"Yeah, maybe. Let's go find everyone else."

We walked out of the room and met up with my team, Team RWBY and JNR, and Oscar.

"What happened?" Oscar asked.

"I found Cinder at the top of the building. I was about to kill her, but a bright light hit me. Cinder was caught and brought into the building somewhere, or at least that's what Louis said. We don't know where though."

"Well, as long as everyone is ok. Alright, everyone, time to get back to your classes."

"Aww, can we take a break first? We just finished a long journey and fought so many Grimm, I think we all deserve some rest." Weiss said.

"That would be really nice." Blake said.

"Yeah, sleep time!" Ruby said.

"Let's go, Titania." evelyn said.

"You guys go on ahead. I need to go somewhere."

"And that somewhere is?" Louis asked.

"To my village."

"Oh, do you want me to come with you?"

"No, I want to come alone. Thanks though."

"Alright, see you in a few days I guess.

"See you guys."

Everyone went inside except Oscar and I.

"You aren't going alone. I'm coming with you."

"I was going to ask you anyway. I need to talk to you."

"Oh, well, what is it?"

"It's that bright light that I talked about earlier that hit me."

"What about it?"

"Never mind, I'll ask later. Let's go."

"Can we take the train this time? My feet are actually killing me."

"Now look who's complaining. Fine, let's go."

We got to the train stop and after a couple of minutes, it came. We got on and headed to my village.

"It feels like the beginning all over again. We met on a train, you know?" Oscar asked.

"Yeah, we did."

It was quiet for a couple more hours, and next thing you know, we arrived. That was quicker than I expected. We got off and headed towards the village. Oscar went a different direction.

"I'll be right back, I need to go badly."

"Alright, make it quick please."

"I will."

As I walked to James grave, there was somebody in front of it. I took out my whip and turned it into my rifle gun. "Who are you? Show yourself!"

The figure turned around and I couldn't believe it, but it was...James.
