Poll results: (Guys it's still open, we can always have new suspects)
Pyrrha: 2 (50%)
Raven: 2 (50%)
Anyway, I might close the poll around chapter 8. And side note: There's a different kind of timeskip going on here, so Neo, Roman and company were all teens when Summer died, making them able to commit a crime.
"Look, I was young. I was stupid, and I wasn't in a gang by choice." Pyrrha sighed. She held her face in her hands.
Jaune laid a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, we all make mistakes."
"Go on." Weiss said, a look of sympathy in her eyes.
"I was used as a messenger of sorts. When all the higher-ups were partying and stealing, I would take my tenspeed bike across the city, delivering messages to different members. That night, there was a woman, with black hair, red eyes, and a mask who gave me a knife and my first set of orders. She told me, along with another girl, to go to Central Plaza at 3 am. She said if she couldn't kill the mark, that would be our job." Pyrrha grimaced.
Ten years ago, on the night Summer Rose was last seen alive…
Captain Summer Rose of the 501st Legion strode across Central Plaza, her uniform crisp and clean. She was home on leave for a few weeks, then back to Vacuo to quell a small insurgency in the Minerva Province. Ruby, Yang, and her husband Tai were waiting for her at home, along with Qrow and Raven. But before she headed home, there were a few small matters she needed to take care of. The mortgage needed to be paid, she had to pick up a few things from the grocery store for tonight, and she wanted to get her kids gifts. The plaza was perfect tonight, nobody was around, and Summer liked it that way.
"Hello, Captain." Raven's voice came from behind her.
"Raven! How pleasant to see you. Aren't you supposed to be with the girls at home?" Summer was a bit shocked at her friend's outburst, but remained calm nonetheless.
"Oh, I don't think you're coming home tonight. My employer has something she needs to take care of." Raven pulled out a long carving knife. The long silver blade gleamed in the moonlight, illuminating the look of hate in Raven's eyes.
"Raven, are you alright? Do you want me to call Qrow? I'm sure he'd-"
"NO! This stays between us. You're staying here, with me." Raven smirked. "I'm sure we'll all have some nice bonding time. Together." She laughed.
"Raven, I don't want to do this." Summer took a fighting stance and placed a hand on the pistol secured at her waist. "If you can't calm down, I'm calling your brother."
"Leave the miserable alcholic that I'm forced to call family out of this. Just comply with my request, and nobody gets hurt." Raven's lips contorted into a cruel grin.
The sound of footsteps reached Summer's ears. She spun around. Two girls of about fifteen stood behind her, holding knives indentical to Raven's. The one on the right had pink and brown hair, with the same heterochromatic eyes, and the red-haired girl on the left had green eyes and look of pure terror on her face. She was shaking.
"Well? Come on, Sum, you're outnumbered." Raven taunted.
Slowly, Summer stepped toward Raven, placing her firearm on the cold, hard ground. She raised her hands in the air.
"Now that wasn't so hard, was it?"
"I don't want to hurt you."
Raven's eyes flashed dangerously. "I know. You." She pointed at Neo. "Leave us." Neo nodded assent and ran off into the night.
"Come on." She motioned to Pyrrha and socked Summer in the face, knocking her out cold.
Later that night, at a local playground…
Raven looked down at her phone.
Qrow Branwen "Onii-chan": Where are you? Call me.
The phone buzzed.
Qrow Branwen "Onii-chan": Taiyang hasn't seen Summer. Is she w/ you? Call me.
Raven grinned. She stared at Summer. "Tai wants to know where you are. But that's a secret, isn't it, Sum?"
Summer, who was tied to a post on the swingset, screamed, but Raven slapped a hand on her mouth. "Can't let you go just yet, Summer." She turned around. "I'll be back soon. Pyrrha, make sure she doesn't slip off." Raven walked away.
Summer stared up at Pyrrha with pleading eyes. The girl bit her lip.
"Go, run. She's dangerous, you know." Pyrrha said.
Pyrrha loosened the ropes. "Shoot me." She held out the gun to Summer.
"What?!"
"Nowhere important. Enough to keep me from running after you. Do it. I can take a shot." Pyrrha gestured to her foot.
"Are you sure?"
"Do it."
Summer readied her pistol. THe shot sailed straight into what must have been Pyrrha's little toe. She screamed with agony, writhing in the dirt. Summer ran like hell.
Raven heard the scream. Crap, it's the girl. Oh, shit, Summer!
Did you guys see Chapter 7? What's your favourite fairy tale? :D. If Qrow dies, though, I will enter the computer and change RWBY so that he doesn't. He might be happy in heaven, Maybe he'll find his liver there. Anywho, leave a review (It makes my day), follow, favourite, and answer the call for using the poll.
