Hello everyone, it's been a while and truly I am sorry for you all having to wait but many things have happened but I'll spare you the drama but anyway in lighter news, I have created a Twitter account ( HollowfiedO) for you guys to follow so that you can keep tabs on a chapters progress. Now that that's all well and done, enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 16

"What?! No...no that's impossible! You're lying!" I exclaim at Walter as he walked away from me. "Believe it or not, it's still happening but I see no reason as to why you care, you're dead anyway" my former comrade stated to me but before I could react, he snapped his fingers and the trigger happy goons let loose a barrage of bullets, each one piercing and tearing through every fiber of my being.

I collapsed into a bloody heap on the ground, my blood seeping into the snow. The footfall of the soldiers grew fainter as they walked away leaving me to die. A grave mistake on their part.

I started to soon feel my body start to dissipate, an odd feeling yet seemed faintly familiar to me. The world started to grow dark as the feeling traveled higher and higher up my body until it completely consumed into a pit of emptiness.

Nothing but a feeling of anger, pain, and determination was all I felt but light soon started to flood my vision until I could see that I was standing where I was bleeding out just moments prior. Hesitantly I looked at myself and noticed that my body seemed to have changed entirely. Before I could even begin to process what just happened to me, I was tackled from behind by a sudden weight.

"What the-?!" I cry out as I move around to see Ruby hugging me tightly and was slightly shaking. I wrapped my arms around her just as everyone made their way to us. "James, what was that just then?!" Yang asked in shock to which I looked at everyone and said "Lets head inside and I'll explain everything to you guys."

Everyone hurridely made their way to the living room, I was the last one to enter. I sat in a chair that looked to have been moved so that I was facing everyone.

Taking a deep breath, I calmly looked at everyone and began my story from the beginning and not sparring any details out through the whole ordeal until finally I reached the moment where I boarded for my mission at Beacon.

Once the story had finished, I looked at everyone with a genuine expression on my face: disgust. Not toward anyone but myself. "W-wow...uh...I didn't expect that..." Tai muttered out as everyone of team RWBY had expressions that ranged from disbelief to utter horror "I...need to use the bathroom..." Weiss stated as she practically sprinted away.

"Now you know what I am" I stated softly as I looked between everyone and sighed deeply "And this is where I take my leave...my sincerest apologies for all the trouble I have caused you guys" I stated as I got up and turned to leave.

I took at most five steps before something grabbed my wrist and I was met with soft lilac staring calmly at me. "I should punch your lights out for lying to us but I really can't bring myself to do it because you did one thing after another to show us that you've changed" Yang said to me as she brought me in to a hug with everyone else soon falling behind.

This continued for a few more moments before there was a knock on the door, "I'll get it" Ruby said as we all broke from the large hug. I heard the door open and what I heard next gave me a small twinge of fear from hearing the voice "Hello, my name is Farron and I came to see if everything was alright here. I heard gunshots" the voice said, instantly pinning a face to the voice...pink hair and blue eyes...on a small hunch, I went over to Ruby.

"Farron...?" I asked hesitantly as I locked eyes with a familiar face...the one of few people that I helped to rescue. Her face slowly contorted into one from confusion to slight shock then not "Nice to know you're doing well...V" she said with a small smile.

Sorry for the short chapter guys but I'm still trying to get use to my new method of hammering out these chapters and also remember to follow me on Twitter ( HollowfiedO) for the chapter updates and polls but until then...stay tuned readers!
