I do not own RWBY
The heiress2 years before the start of volume 1
Its been a good two years since I killed 'the dark lord'.
Since then I am still stuck in the middle of nowhere between Vale and Mistral. But I became one of the best trappers out there. Only the real OG's like my uncle, Rot or 'the poet' and a couple of others are higher ranked and have more kills.
At least they sent me out to a couple of mission to other kingdoms like Mistral and Vacuo. Even a couple of solo missions.
For the rest well me and Indigo are still partners and when we get a free day we head out to Mistral. As for me well I got a couple of new tattoos. My right upper arm now has a scorpion on it surrounded by a couple of flames.
Right now I was standing in a tree line overlooking an open field. Next to me were a couple of soldiers making small talk with each other.
"Do you ever wonder why we're here."
"It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night."
"What? I mean why are we hiding here in the trees."
"Oh uhh...yeah."
"What was that stuff about God?"
"Both of you shut the fuck up our benifiters are arriving." I said to the two soldiers to my right talking.
A couple of minutes later two unmarked airships landed in the field. After that a couple of man poured out of the ship. Making my way out of the tree line the people from the ship start looking at me and my soldiers following behind me.
"Ahh like always on time." One of the soldiers if I should guess the leader says.
"Let's just get this over with." I said while rolling my eyes. "You got the money so give it to me." The soldier dropped his smile and handed me the money. Looking at the money I quickly counted it before turning around ready to leave.
"Wait just a second." The soldier said. I turned around looking him in the eyes.
"What else do you need." I asked irritated.
"Well I got a proposal for you." He said returning the look. "Well our contractors want someone who can watch the heiress of the Shnee dust company for a day." He said continuing.
"What you want me to babysit, forget it."
"We already suspected such an answer from a trapper, so what would you say if you could profit from it." I looked at him than at my soldiers and back to the one talking to me.
"Okay what could I possibly gain from it?" The man chuckles before speaking.
"Let's just say say the Schnee family is very rich." He said. "So what do you think, it's only for one day."
"Hmm fine but only for security not to fucking go shopping or something." I said.
"Don't worry she is making a visit to one of the SDC mines in Atlas you just need to make sure nothing happens. We have reasons to believe the fang is planning an attack." I take a second to think before answering.
"Okay so when is this all happening?"
"The end of the week so in three days. I will send you the details tomorrow." He said, before getting into the ship and leaving.
3 days later
I was currently sitting on top of a rock overlooking the mine. A small group of people was making its way around it. In the middle of the small group was a girl of around 15 years old with snow white hear in a ponytail. She was wearing a white dress that looked very very expensive.
"God dam it's fucking cold." I muttered to myself lighting my third cigarette of the day.
"I don't wanna hear you fucking complain I always went on vacation in Atlas." I heard Indigo say over the radio. He was sitting on the other side of the mine using his semblance to stay hidden.
"Don't let me regret taking you with me." I said while keeping an eye on the group of people below me.
"Ohh come on don't be a like that." I heard him say sarcasm clear in his voice.
"Wait don't you think those mine workers on the left look a bit...off to you." Indigo said, I look down and saw a couple of workers looking extremely nervous.
"Yeah they look nervous, they are also all Faunus."
Looking at the group of Faunus I made my decision. Standing up I put on my mask and make my way down the hill.
"Where the hell are you going!" Indigo screamed over the radio.
"Looking where those Faunus are up to." I replied coming closer to the group.
"Hey what are you filthy animals up to." They didn't reply instead pulled out pistols and started shooting at me.
"A simple answer would have been fine." I said before pulling out my pistol and returning fire.
Their week auras or lack there off did little to protect them. Most of them died instantly.
"Do you have eyes on the heiress." I said looking around seeing no sign of her and the people she was with.
"Yeah they tried to leave but a couple of guys were waiting for them. They are pinned down by the exit." Indigo informed me before he took a shot blowing the head of a fang member off.
Making my way to the exit running into a couple of soldiers along the way. I could finally see the heiress ducking behind a crate while security personnel tried to get the situation under control.
Taking out my katana I take out the soldiers that stood between me and her. But right before I could reach her I saw a man with a heavy sniper rifle behind her taking aim.
Moving on instinct I jumped in front of the bullet. After that I fell to the ground feeling immense pain. Looking down at my stomach I saw that the bullet shattered my aura hitting me right in the stomach. Before the soldier could fire a second time Indigo already killed him.
With my last strength I stood up looking at the heiress to my right. She was looking at me. Grabbing her hand I pull her to her feet. After that I we take cover behind a couple of rocks.
"I need help...ahh I got shot follow my scroll coordinates you should find me. Fuck I have the heiress with me." I said trough gritted teeth.
"Just stay were you are I'm coming." Indigo replied. Looking to my left I still saw the heiress, Weiss I think her name was looking at me.
"Take a picture it will last longer." She looked at me like I was the biggest idiot she's ever saw.
"Y-You dolt this is no time for jokes." She said.
After that we heard the gunfire die down.
"D-do you think it's safe?"
"Reaper you there?"
"Yeah here behind the rock hurry up would you." I call back after that a couple of security guards and Indigo found us. The guards go to the heiress. Indigo helps me up to my fied.
"You idiot you could have died." Indigo said.
"Don't worry I'm to stubborn to die." I replied before someone shouted at me.
"WAIT, what is your name." The heiress called out to me. I turn to her before speaking.
"Don't worry about me I've survived worse." With that I turned around and left the area.
2 days later
"Good work you did your job." A man said to me. He was sitting next to me at a bar in a nearby village.
"As promised here is your money 15 000 lien." He said giving me a suitcase with the money inside.
"Thanks. Never ever call me again." I said before grabbing the suitcase and leaving the only stopping to look at a news report that was playing on a TV in the bar.
"A peaceful Faunus rights protest ended in a blood bath after soldiers of Humanity's Hand Front opened fire. At least 27 protesters where killed and at least a 30 are wounded. This is just one of many incidents involving HHF and the murder of innocent civilians.
Back to you Lisa."
After that I walked outside returning to base.
