It was gone eleven at night before Owain got back to Beacon and ?Ruby quickly took him to the infirmary where it was discovered that his ankle was broken and he would be kept in for at least two weeks. Owain was looking forward to rest after how exhausting his day had been but Ruby had oter ideas.

"Well, what was that fight about? Why did they want to take you back? Who are you really?" Ruby asked

Owain sighed, "I suppose i should start from the beginning. I was born in Atlas and my parents were hunters and so i was mainly raised by my older brother Jason who was fourteen when i was born. When i was about six my parents left on a routine mission but before she went my mother gave me a rose so i would remember her, but they never returned from and it was up to Jason to explain why. Not much happened in my life until i was fourteen when i met Blaine West, we soon became good friends and I spent less time by myself. My brother was thrilled that i had come out of my shell and encouraged me to meet Blaine more often. Blaine soon introduced me to Eliza who i eventually ended up dating. During all of this Jason started teaching me how to fight using my father's old swords which were recovered from his body after he died. When i turned fifteen Blaine asked if i wanted to join a 'club' he was in, i leapt at the opportunity as Eliza was also a member. The club was called The Shadows and i learnt that we were a underground society of assassins and thieves. I was soon away for sometimes days on ends and Jason started to become worried and when he confronted me about it, I lied and said i was staying at Eliza's house. When I turned sixteen the leader of The Shadows gave me my first assignment which was to kill a local member of the government, I refused, I was not about to kill a innocent man. He threatened me but i would not accept. He eventually gave up and let me be and I thought he had dropped the matter. I was soon proved wrong as on a meeting in the The Shadows, I saw the leader motion to Eliza who left the room and soon returned with Blaine and Jason who had clearly been attacked and judging by the wound on Blaine's shoulder he had attacked him but Jason had fought back. I started to move towards them but other members of the group held me back. The leader started to speak "This what happens when you disobey me" and he nodded at Eliza who stabbed my brother through the heart. In my fury i fought free from the people holding me back and drew me weapons. The leader simply laughed and said "Let him be, let him wallow in his misery before we eventually end him" and with that everyone left the room. I took my brother's body and buried it next to my parents and decided to leave Atlas and got on the first airship out which took me here, where i soon enrolled in Beacon and through sheer luck was accepted." Owain looked at Ruby with tears in his eyes he said "I understand if you hate me now and never want to see me again and...". Ruby put a hand across his and spoke "I don't hate you and i certainly want to see you again and trust me, I will never let them take you back to Atlas."

With these words Owain started to cry openly and pulled Ruby into a tight embrace which she quickly returned before she broke the embrace and said "Get some rest, you need it" and with a quick peck on the lips she left the infirmary and Owain quickly feel asleep.

As Ruby got back to her dorm and opened the door she heard Yang shout out "Where have you been, I've been worried sick"

Ruby smiled weakly and quickly explained the vents which had taken place between her leaving and coming back. Yang and Blake looked completely shocked and even Weiss looked a little shocked at Ruby's day.

"SO where is he now?" Weiss asked.

"He's in the infirmary, he's got a broken ankle after pushing me out of the way of a strike" Ruby replied

Yang laughed "I'm beginning to like this guy even more, he really does care about you Ruby"

Ruby blushed "I know"

That was the last words that team RWBY said to each other that day and they were all soon fast asleep. Ruby was the last to sleep as she was too busy worrying about Owain and for how long he would be hunted but she was determined that he would not leave her side without a decent fight.

Sorry about the short chapter but I've been distracted with other personal things

At least you now know Owain's background even if it wasn't as awesome as i first imagined

Paris and Lykaon coming soon
