- There is going to be an intense situation later in the chapter. Just letting you know.

The next day Summer woke up and stretched out her arm without thinking about it. She screeched out like a mouse but she didn't wake anyone up. She rolled out of bed and headed to the bathroom. She was still tired but the pain from her arm woke up enough to stay up. It was barely going on six in the morning. She pulled on pajama bottoms and a tank top, grabbed her backpack then headed to the mess hall. She was hungry and she could use the coffee to catch up on school work.

No student was in the place yet only a few teachers. Ozpin was sitting there reading a paper with a stack of them beside of him about a foot high. He had a pot of coffee on a warmer across the table from him and was sipping from his mug. He happened to look up to see Summer grabbing a tray of breakfast food and a cup of coffee herself.

"Miss Rose!"

Summer looked up to see Ozpin motioning for her to sit by him, so she did.

"Awake so early?" he asked and she nodded.

"My arm woke me up."

"Yes, of course."

Ozpin looked at her arm then at her face, "You could've died yesterday, Miss Rose."

Summer smiled sadly and nodded.

"Why did you fight like you did then?" he asked.

"What do you mean?"

"You risked your life."

"Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?" she asked.

Ozpin sipped his coffee staring at her hard.

"You could've saved yourself and your team."

"Then half of Vale would be destroyed."

Ozpin smiled, "True. A lot of people were demanding your name yesterday."

Summer stared at him dumbfounded.

"Why though?"

Ozpin looked down at his paper and sighed, "Humans are complicated creatures… They're afraid of things they don't understand. They don't understand you and a lot don't know about the legend of the silver eyes."

Summer paled.

"You have nothing to fear as long as you're here."

"You say that."

Ozpin raised an eyebrow.

"No matter where I go I won't be safe."

Ozpin frowned.

"You know that. You knew that the moment I came to this school. I never did the test to get in."

"You're special from any of them that came along."

Summer frowned.

"Most silver eyes are selfish and mean. Loners. They hated Grimm but hate people even more for shunning them. Most end up with semblances that help them stay alive but you…. You have a semblances of life. You created beautiful roses from the planet itself. You have no regard for your own life despite what people did to you. They could hate and shun you now but you would still help them.

"I knew what kind of person you were before I let you into the school. You intrigue me. You came out of the wild, still respectful of others. You treat people nice and even though most are mean or rude you still smile. You do everything for your team…. You think ahead and it why I picked you as team leader. You four work together so well despite the bad luck."

Summer nodded and began eating quietly.

"Miss Rose."

She looked up.

"You will be fine here."

She nodded and continued eating. They sat together without any words for the next hour doing their work. Ozpin finished first and began collecting his things. He gave back the coffee pot that was empty to the ladies behind the counter then returned back to the table. Summer looked up at him as he smiled down at her.

"No matter what happens, I will never regret having you as a student. Good day Miss Rose."

Summer walked in the library after classes alone. Raven and Qrow were in a different class from her. Taiyang left without a word to her so she walked alone. The Beacon Library was a huge place and it had all kinds of books. She looked around and around searching for something about her. About silver eyes.

She couldn't find anything.

Summer wanted to know everything she could. Maybe there was never a book for them at all but she wanted to look. After an hour of looking, she sat on the floor with frustrated tears in her eyes. She frowned staring at the thousands of books sitting on the shelves with all of them having nothing to do with what she wanted to know about.

"Are you ok?"

Summer looked up to see Raven standing with Qrow.

"I'm just annoyed."

"You have to be…. We have been looking for you for a while."

Summer laid back on the floor staring at the ceiling.

"I just want to know about myself."

"Like what? You are you- you already know everything about you," Qrow said.

Summer looked at him, "I don't know my parents."

Qrow and Raven looked at each other.

"I keep hearing that I'm special but that doesn't mean anything to me. Who am I? Who is my mom? My dad? Why did they give me up? Did they want too?" Summer asked.

"Summer…"

"Claire or Airis could be my mom."

"Claire is the only one with silver eyes," Raven said.

"But they're twins," Qrow said.

"It could be anyone," Summer said.

"They were rude and mean-

"Can you blame them?" Summer asked, "The way she had been treated all her life."

Qrow and Raven said nothing.

"Silver eyes isn't a common trait. My parents could already be dead or I could be the daughter of silverless parents. I would never know."

"Why don't you ask Ozpin?"

Summer sighed looking over to see Taiyang standing there, "He knows a lot. He found you."

"That's true."

"You think he would actually answer you?" Raven asked.

"I have no reason to doubt him. He's a great headmaster," Qrow said.

Summer closed her eyes.

I think he would've already told me if he knew.

"Why don't you two go out for pizza?" Raven asked popping candy in her mouth.

"Well, considering the last time we went out we were attacked by Grimm I don't think that is a great idea," Qrow said reaching into her candy bag.

Raven jerked it away and glared at him, her eyes glowing lightly.

"That is mine."

"Can't I have a piece? You ate like ten of them already."

"I don't care."

"You have six more bags of milky ways and I can't have just one?" Qrow pleaded, sticking out his bottom lip.

"I will cut your hand off."

"Bitch."

"Asshole."

"Why am I related to you?"

"Because our parents had sex and they got lucky to have us both," Raven answered opening another chocolate.

"Ugh, sex."

Raven raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Taiyang started asking me questions about that already and I didn't know how to answer him on it."

Raven snorted, "Let Summer be ready first. You've been together a freaking week."

"I know but… what if it happens sooner than later? I don't want to hurt her."

Raven's expression softened, "It's going to hurt for her no matter what you do."

"Wait, what? What- wait, how do you know that?" Qrow asked.

"I lost my virginity at thirteen to one of the older guys."

Qrow's face darken to an angry red color, "It was that bastard Samal wasn't it?!" he yelled.

Raven snorted, "No he was too scared of you for that."

"Then who? We were always together!" he yelled more.

"It was Rocky."

"He was six years older than you!" Qrow cried in disbelief.

"So? We dated for three months."

"Wait- you were dating?!"

"Are you two ok?" Summer asked walking into the dorm room.

"Yea. Qrow was just saying how he wants to take you out for pizza and some moonlight," Raven said unwrapping another chocolate.

Summer looked at Qrow, "I'm ok with that. I am hungry."

"Oh- o-ok. Let's go then."

Raven gave him a thumbs up when he turned around and he gave her the finger making her grin evilly.

Qrow did take her to the small pizza parlor in town that was crowded with teenagers in love. Summer didn't feel the least bit embarrassed but he was. He was nervous about being with her since he's liked her for a long time. Qrow was most definitely afraid to say the wrong thing.

Summer got picked on a lot when she first started Beacon and even though it seemed like she didn't care what they thought of her but he caught her crying in the bathroom. It wasn't because she had silver eyes, it was because she talked a little weird and she did things different being out in the wilderness all alone. She was sensitive but she was strong in a frightening way.

"Why are you crying Summer?"

"Do… I talk funny?" she said covering her face.

He bit his lip. Even crying now she was cute as can be.

"You do."

She looked up at him.

"There's nothing wrong with it."

She stared giving him a dumbfound look.

"You were out there all alone. No one can blame you for that."

"Then what do I say to them?" Summer asked slurring her words.

"Say nothing."

"What?"

"Strong and silent type."

Summer smiled, "I am not strong."

"I heard that you came in without a test. So that means Ozpin knows you're strong or you have the potential to be strong."

"What if I am not the leader you need?" she asked.

"No leader is the same. You'll be fine. Wipe your face and let's go. I'm sure we want to know more about you."

Summer smiled as Qrow held out his hand.

Summer had shut everyone up the first time they did student VS Grimm rounds. People were quiet after she had finished the ten rounds while most got through five maybe six. Raven, Qrow and Taiyang cheered her on the whole time smirking at the assholes who had the balls to make fun of her. Raven had liked Summer the moment she met her but she couldn't explain why. Summer was definitely different and wasn't because of her fighting style.

Summer had accepted Taiyang's womanizing ways without question. She just assumed he had more of an animal like nature making the twins laugh at him. A lot of people didn't like Raven because she gave off a creepy and evil vibe but Summer was completely unbothered by it. She even accepted the bad things that happened when she hung around Qrow and didn't care that was his semblance.

"Qrow?"

"Huh?"

"Are you ok? You haven't touched your food," Summer asked looking worried.

"I was thinking."

Summer tilted her head to the side.

"About?"

"When I found you crying in our bathroom."

Summer made a face, "Why would you think about that?"

"You made a great leader. And you make a great girlfriend."

Summer's face turned bright red.

Roman sat across the pizza parlor seeing Summer sitting there with some guy which had to be the guy that had kissed her. Even though he had no reason too, he felt jealous. He wanted to know what he said to her to make her turn red like that. He got up and refilled his pop passing by them. Summer had recognized him as her silver eyes followed him. Roman looked away feeling his face turn red. Why was he embarrassed now?

She is really pretty.

This time, she was in her Beacon uniform like when he met her the first time. Her hair style was still the same and so was her smile. She talked excitedly and was happy even she drank from her straw. She was just so damn perfect to Roman. It made it hard for him to pull his eyes away from her. He was jealous of the guy with her.

Most of all…. He wanted to see her fight again.

He thought all she had was pretty rose petals falling from her hood. Instead she was an angel with devastating powers to change the planet's crust, destroying evil creatures with something so pure. It almost angered Roman to see those people chopping down the roses she had used to fight with. Red and white rose petals filled the air with its color and scent- it was beautiful.

Roman looked down at his scroll seeing it buzzed. He had a new client. He answered them back but looked up to see the couple was leaving.

Damnit.

"Why won't you talk to me?" Taiyang asked.

Raven looked up from her Grimm studies book.

"I'm studying."

"You're a liar."

Raven slammed the book down and glared at him.

"What do you want?" she snapped.

"Well, you slapped me hard enough to knock out a tooth."

"I apologize."

"Ok, but I'm not super worried about it."

Raven felt her face beginning to heat up.

"Why won't you answer me?" the blonde asked.

"I don't wanna be with someone like you."

Taiyang nodded and looked hurt.

"I don't know what's wrong with me that you say that."

"You've been with half the girls in this school and I have no respect for you or the girls you slept with. "

"I can understand that but you don't understand something. "

"What's that Taiyang?! Please tell me! " Raven yelled standing up.

"I respect you. You and Summer are the only two girls in this school that has my utmost respect."

Raven stared at him.

"That's hard to believe I know but it's true. Not because Qrow had threatened my life at some time but because of who you are."

"I don't care. "

"Just think about it please."

Raven left the dorm room stomping down the hallway.

Over the next couple of weeks' team STRQ's had improved so much but it was only because Raven stuck to Summer like glue forcing Qrow with Taiyang. Qrow wasn't too happy and wasn't sure what had happened between his sister and Taiyang but he wasn't going to question it. Raven was always up early and she had missed at least two days a school each week for three weeks straight. Summer never questioned it either only because she didn't want to upset her friend.

They so happen to be in Forever Fall Forever that day fighting off Grimm for training. They had finished off all the Grimm in the area thinking they were done. Summer put her sword away when an oversized Ursa showed up with a few Creeps. Raven went to draw her sword but one of the creeps kicked her with both feet in her stomach sending her flying into a tree.

"Raven!" Summer screamed.

"Sis!" Qrow yelled chasing after her.

Taiyang intervened when the Creeps went after Raven. It was Qrow's bad luck drawing them towards Raven.

"Watch it Summer!" Taiyang yelled punching a few of them into trees.

The Ursa let out a deep roar and charged at Summer. It didn't take her much to stop it in its tracks; vines shot up from the ground and wrapped around its body crushing it.

"Sis, are you ok?" Qrow asked, shocked to see his sister crying.

"I-I'm fine. It hurts so bad Qrow," she hissed fighting off tears but it wasn't working.

Summer and Taiyang finished off the Creeps.

"Is she ok?!" Summer cried rushing over.

"Raven, we are taking you-

"NO! I wanna go back to the dorm room!" she cried making them jump.

"O-Oh ok! Come on! We'll get you some medicine for the pain."

Raven nodded as Qrow scooped her up and they headed out of the forest as fast as they could before anymore Grimm arrived.

They arrived at the dorm and Qrow laid her in her bed. Summer got her some medicine to help ease the pain. Raven took it and rolled over. No one said anything wondering why she had reacted so badly when she was usually the calmest one when it came to being attacked. Qrow sat at the end of her bed with his face in his hands.

"Raven, I'll call the center so they know you won't be going to school tomorrow."

Raven said nothing.

The next morning Summer and Qrow got ready for school while Raven laid in bed staring at the wall.

"Hey, Taiyang are you gonna get up?" Qrow asked shaking him.

"I wanna sleep. I'll stay with Raven and make sure she's ok."

Summer looked at Raven then at him.

"Are you sure….?"

"Yea, it's fine. I'll be super nice."

The couple nodded and told Raven goodbye but she never responded.

Taiyang had no idea how drastic his relationship with Raven was going to change so much within the next hour.

Taiyang woke up an hour later rubbing his face. He looked over to see Raven was gone. He jumped up and looked around the room even in the closet but she wasn't there. He looked over to see the bathroom was closed. He took a deep breath and pressed his ear against the bathroom door. It was an understatement so say he was deathly afraid that Raven would catch him but he was honestly worried about.

"Ohhh…...Unnnn…..." then gasping.

Taiyang's face turned red. He walked over to the dorm door and locked it even the dead bolt. He sent his teammates a message saying Raven wanted privacy so he locked up the door. They agreed with him. He took a deep breath and opened the bathroom door. His face paled when he saw what was going on.

Raven was puking into the toilet, with puke running down the toilet bowl. Raven had thrown her underwear and pants in the bathtub. She had a towel under her bottom. She had pile of wet towels in the corner and she was panting hard. She looked up at him with droopy eyes and then they suddenly widened. She cried out and tried to be quiet. She started pushing and blood started to come out of her onto the towel.

"Oh my fuckin god Raven!"

"My- my baby! I…. Ahh!" she cried tears running down her face.

"R-Raven! What is going on!" he cried dropping to his knees grabbing her puke and tear covered face.

"I didn't wanna say anything! I was excited to have a baby b-b-but…. He dumped me."

She grunted and started pushing again.

"Jesus fuck Raven you have to get to a doctor-

"My baby is already dead!" she screamed.

He got quiet.

"I haven't felt anything in the last twelve hours. That Creep when it kicked me…. That's why I was so upset but it hurtttttttttt-

She pushed again, her face dripping with sweat.

"What- what do you want me to do Raven?" Taiyang asked trying to stay calm.

"In my drawer…. In my drawer I have a baby blanket I bought a week ago… Can you…. Get it?" she pleaded.

Taiyang got up and headed to her drawer. Inside was a white blanket with yellow duckies. Even though the baby wasn't his, he started crying. He walked back to the bathroom and Raven was shocked to see his face.

"W-what happened?" she gasped.

He collapsed to his knees, "I'm so sorry, I had no idea!"

Raven placed a hand on his face, "I-it's ok! I need help. When…. My baby comes out…. Can you wash her off and place her in the blanket? I-I-I want her to be a baby."

Taiyang wiped his tears away and nodded.

"Ok, I-I going t-t-to put my legs but please don't make this weird."

"It's fine."

Raven placed one foot on the sink and the other on the edge of the tub. Taiyang could see something small coming out of her but he was afraid to touch her. Raven didn't even want Summer or her own brother to know but now she trusted him with this. With her baby from someone else that didn't make it from that Creep that had kicked her.

"I think I see something," he said trying his best to stay calm.

"O-ok. Get a towel over there and when she comes out catch it."

Taiyang nodded. The baby slid right and Taiyang nearly lost it. The baby had to be about seven inches long. It looked like a baby and an alien. It was limp and he checked for a pulse or something but the baby was dead. It was red with a blue tinge. He felt like he was going to fall apart but he looked at Raven who looked more upset.

"It looks like a boy Raven," he said forcing a smile.

She smiled through her tears, "Really?"

"Y-yea! Hold on, let me get him clean."

Taiyang cleaned off the fetus and wrapped it up into the baby blanket handing it Raven. She looked at him, placed a hand over her face and started crying. Taiyang was shook up and he felt like his heart was broken into a million pieces. Here he saw the strong, emotionless Raven, crying on the bathroom floor with a dead baby. She was human after all.

"Uhhhh… I think the afterbirth…. Oh it hurts!" she hissed, holding her son as she jerked from the pain.

Taiyang found a pair of scissors and cut the umbilcal cord for her. He found a tiny rubber band and she opened the blanket for him as he tied it close for her. He started cleaning up and found a bag and threw some stuff away as Raven laid there holding her baby. Raven looked like she had run a hundred miles in the heat.

"Here Raven," he said and handed her an overnight pad with a fresh pair of her underwear.

After Raven got everything on, they walked out of the bathroom.

"How are we gonna make it past everyone?" Taiyang asked looking at the door.

"We don't have too. Grab my sword."

Taiyang did as instructed and she pulled out a red bladed sword.

"Stand back."

Raven cut through the air and some red and black portal appeared.

"Let's go."

Taiyang was in awe and shock when they appeared at some graveyard. It was beautiful covered with flowers. The place had a white fence around it. Taiyang realized it was a children's graveyard.

"This place is for children who died too young. A lot of moms who miscarried bring their babies here. You can stay here if you want."

"I already went all the way. I want to stay with you."

Raven smiled softly and nodded.

They walked for about five minutes when they reached a small white shack. Taiyang grabbed one of the shovels and a small lady came out. She handed Raven a paper and she began filling it out while holding her baby. The lady took the paper and headed back inside as Raven led the way down the hill.

Raven stopped and they stood some part of the graveyard at the bottom of a hill. Taiyang didn't feel like the place was creepy at all. It gave some feeling of peace and the ability to move on. Raven held the small baby tight to her chest even though she looked pale and tired.

"Are you OK?" Taiyang asked placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Physically, I can feel my body healing but mentally I'm destroyed. I would've given up everything for him. I never saw that coming but I can't see anything for myself."

Taiyang raised an eyebrow.

"I remember when you asked my what my semblance was. "

"Yea. You said it was the ability to kick my ass for being an idiot."

Raven smirked.

"I can open portals in time and space. I can see futures for anyone but myself. My baby didn't have a conscious mind so I couldn't make sure he was OK. I knew that those Grimm where going to attack but I can't see what they would do to me. It's like watching a TV. "

He stayed quiet.

"I counter act Qrow's bad luck. I saved him a lot but he has no idea how. He assumes I only can pass through time and space."

"Why keep it secret?"

"Because Qrow would constantly ask if he should or he was live in fear because of his bad luck. Summer doesn't know either."

Taiyang looked at her,

"Why did you tell me no?"

"Because I was four months pregnant with Mayizor's child. I had plans to tell Qrow I was going to quit Beacon in three months."

"I'm sorry."

"It's no one's fault but my own."

Taiyang dug the grave and the lady brought out a small blue coffin. Raven placed her baby in it, fighting off the tears. The lady gave her a gravestone for the baby. It read: the joy of my life, Lux Branwen.

They sat by the grave stone for an hour watching the clouds.

"Thanks, Taiyang."

"No problem Raven. You are taking this quite well."

"I can't help anything now but to accept it."

"That's true."

"Please… I really don't want Qrow to know. Even though I emasculate Qrow often, he would kill Mayizor. You know he would."

"That would happen."

They stayed silent for a couple minutes.

"I think we should take you to a doctor now."

"Ok, I think I'm ready. I will probably be here as often as I can."

"One day I think you'll be a great mom because of how much you love your baby now."

Raven's red eyes filled up with tears,

"Thanks."

"Anything for you Raven."

I know some of you were thinking "Wtf that got really dark really fast". I had implied that Raven kept her business to herself to where her brother didn't know much of anything. As for slapping Taiyang, she does hate that he sleeps around but he is a great teammate. Some women can't date another man while they're pregnant and Raven is one of those. Thank you Frank Horrigan, I'm glad you like it.

Don't worry, Rosewick is on the way :)
