A/N This is a rewrite. I do not own RWBY or any references made in this story. Also if you've seen the original the start is quite the same as that one.

The massive scythe unfurled before him as the wielder merely grinned. Jaune had seen this happen multiple times but it never ceased to amaze him.

"Don't worry Jaune; I'll go easy on you." Ruby said from the other side of him.

Even if he didn't show it Jaune was glad she said that. Ruby was probably the best huntress in the school. He took his grandfather's sword and grabbed his shield.

Nora, the most hyper girl ever, yelled "GO!" and blasted a shot up in the air while Ren watched in amusement.

"Go little sis!" Yang yelled from the sidelines, blonde hair flying everywhere.

"Good luck Jaune." Pyrrha said.

Jaune leaped with his sword out. Ruby used her semblance and sped out of sight.

The blond boy frowned. "I thought you were going easy on me!" He yelled.

Ruby suddenly appeared in front of him. "Did I? Oh yeah I did." She grinned again.

Jaune shook his head at the younger girl. "You cheat."

He leapt again but this time Ruby stayed where she was and blocked his attack. Jaune slid his sword out and raised his shield as the scythe slammed into the metal. He jabbed out the sword blindly and pulled it out. On it he saw red. Jaune was surprised. He didn't think he would even cut her at all.

Ruby healed the cut with her aura and grinned once more. "Nice job Jaune."

"I think you should stop now, I can handle it." Jaune called.

Ruby doubted it. "Are you sure?" Jaune nods. Ruby shrugged.

"It's your grave Jaune." Yang yelled.

Ruby planted the scythes blade in the ground and aimed the sniper rifle at Jaune. Jaune raised his shield again to deflect the bullets and ran straight at Ruby. Ruby lifted the scythe with ease and slammed it into Jaune shield. Jaune fell on the ground as Ruby disappeared again, leaving rose petals behind. Ruby reappeared in the sky with her scythe raised. Jaune blocked it but Ruby shoved the shield off his hand.

Ruby smiled with her hand out. Jaune gladly took it and checked his scroll. Jaune was in the red and Ruby in green. Ruby was looking over his shoulder.

"Hey you took a bit off, that has to count for something!" The younger red head yelled.

Nora joined in "And it's Ruby too! If she didn't go easy on you, you would be bleeding from every-…"

Ren had clamped his hand over Nora's mouth in order to shut her up. Nora made some muffled noises and licked Ren's hand. Fortunately Ren had been friends with the hyperactive orange haired girl since he was a child so he was used to it already. Ren let go when Nora's spit started dribbling into her clothes.

Jaune chuckled awkwardly. "Okay, that was a thing I guess." He says folding up his scroll.

Blake nodded. "Let's go back to the school. It's getting dark." She says walking back.

Everyone else followed making sure not to touch Ren's slobbery hand on the way.

"Believe me; she's done more than this." Ren says holding up his hand. Weiss, who had been quietly scribbling notes in her notebook, was trying to dodge the drops of spit.

"Uh okay, I think I believe you." She says, 10 meters away from Ren.

After a while Nora was back to her hyperactive self and Weiss was writing down hyperactive in Nora's page.

Yang looked around. "Hey, did Ruby disappear?"

Suddenly Ruby appeared in front of her. "Nope!" And she was gone in a blitz of petals.

"WAKE UP RUBY!" Yang screamed into her ears as she woke up.

"Fine, what's your problem?" Ruby muttered with an annoyed groan.

The blonde girl was standing between the two bunk beds. "Its 6:00 already." She said sternly.

Ruby stumbled off to the showers, got ready and put on her uniform. When she was done she walked to the cafeteria where Team WB and JNPR were waiting. Collecting their food they sat down at the table where they normally sat at. Ruby was munching her daily amount of cookies and milk.

"So, how is everybody?" Jaune asked, trying to make conversation.

"I had this dream last night reminding me to tell you guys about how I met Ren!" Nora said.

Ren sighed. Nora tended to over exaggerate when she told stories.

"Okay so this is how it went. We were in the great heaven of pancakes!" she told excitedly.

"It was a kindergarten school trip; they were giving us pancakes for lunch." Ren explained.

"There was only one pancake left for the chosen one. Unfortunately I didn't get it but Ren was chosen!"

"They didn't have enough batter."

Nora stood on her chair. "Ren, being the nobleman himself, gave me the pancake and from that day on I swore to protect him."

"She was crying so I just gave it to her."

"Okaaay…" Jaune said slowly.

Professor Port was boring everybody to death. All the students were asleep or sitting drowsily in their seats apart from Weiss who was writing down notes in her notebook.

Ruby was asleep when Weiss poked her shoulder. "You should go get new notebook Ruby, if you don't you'll probably fail the test."

Ruby only shrugged. "I'll get them after class Weiss."

Weiss put on a stern face. "Darn right you should, you dunce."

"Ahem! Class dismissed." Professor Port announced.

After class a blond scraggly boy ran into Weiss and Ruby.

"Hey! Watch where you're going Jaune!" Weiss yelled. Jaune smiled sheepishly. "I was wondering if you girls would like to train again today."

Ruby was about to speak when Weiss interrupted her. "Actually Jaune, Ruby is going to get herself a new notebook in Vale."

Jaune shrugged. "Okay, what about the others?"

"Uh, I guess that's okay. You better ask them though."

Jaune gave the two girls a grin. "Alright. See you later Ruby." Ruby nodded and made her way to the airships.

"Don't forget anything Ruby!" Weiss yelled at the red cloaked girl.

Ruby was taking a walk in the town. She needed a new notebook since her old one was filled with goofy pictures of Professor Port and Weiss had ordered her.

Ruby had arrived at a shady shop called Tuskson's Bookshop and went inside. Looking around she sighed. The shop looked deserted with cobwebs on the bookshelves and some books lying in a pile in the corner. Her eyes travelled from the books to the counter where a shiny golden bell lay. Shrugging slightly she walked over and pressed the button on the bell.

"Ring ring"

Nothing. Ruby sighed again. This was the third time she entered a shop that had no notebooks. 'Weiss is gonna kill me' She groaned. That was when she found a door in the back. A regular person would've thought nothing of it but Ruby's huntress training kicked in. The door looked suspicious. Very suspicious. Treading quietly she crept to the door just in case someone was in there. With a small creak the door opened and she was greeted by a blinding light. She instinctively put her hand above her eyes but that action caused her to be unprepared for what was going to come next.

"Well hello again, Red." Roman smiled. "What's wrong? You should be happy to meet your new master."

Yang had Ember Celia in front of Weiss's face. "You were the last one to see her. You must know where Ruby went." Yang threatened.

They had just gotten back from a training session with Team JNPR and they were alarmed to see that Ruby wasn't back yet. Almost in a panic Yang grabbed her scroll and sent a message to Ozpin. She then sent countless messages to Ruby's scroll until Blake pulled her away from it.

"I said I don't know. The last time I saw her she was going to get a new notebook for classes." Weiss sighed angrily.

Blake decided to intervene. "Alright, alright." She said waving her hands in between the two glaring girls. "Maybe she decided to get some food or something. Just stay calm."

"Blake how can I stay calm when my baby sister just disappeared?!" Yang screamed making Weiss flinch.

Suddenly the door opened and Glynda Goodwitch came in with a frown. "Headmaster Ozpin wants you three girls, unless you want to keep bickering amongst yourselves." Goodwitch informed.

The girls were out the door and were inside Ozpin's office in about 30 seconds. They were sitting in front of his desk.

"Now, do you have any idea about what you're doing here?" Ozpin asked his glasses slightly crooked.

Yang shook her head. "Unless it's something about Ruby's disappearance I'm getting out of here." She said stubbornly.

"Well then I guess you'll be staying here Miss Xiao Long." Ozpin sighed. The girls were suddenly listening like hawks. Ozpin turned on a screen in front of his desk and faced it towards the girls. A video was playing. Roman was in talking to the camera. "Hello Ozpin how's the school?" He said to the camera.

"I have some news about Red's disappearance. She has been in my custody and she is now of no use to me. Come to the old bookshop in town and maybe we can talk about an exchange but seeing Blondie's attitude I don't think that going to happen." Roman leaned closer to the camera. "Good luck." And the video ends.

Yang was standing up in rage. "I'm going to kill him!" she yelled and ran out the door before anybody could stop her.

"Yang wait! We need to talk about this!" Blake called but the furious blonde was already running through the front door of Beacon.

Yang was opening the door to Tuckson's bookshop in less than 15 minutes. 10 minutes were spent screaming at the pilot on the ship and the rest running around Vale. The blonde fired Ember Cecilia inside, completely destroying the place. Pages floating everywhere and bookshelves toppled over. Roman was nowhere to be seen.

Yang growled slightly when she saw an untouched door at the back. She kicked it open and saw Roman standing there with Ruby on the floor. Before Roman could say anything Yang kicked him right in the face and was at Ruby's side.

A few minutes later the rest of the team was there. The scene was quite disturbing. Along with Roman and Ruby's unconscious bodies another body was there as well. The police identified him as Tuckson. Yang was cradling her sister's body desperately crying for her to wake up which greatly shocked Weiss and Blake. They had never seen Yang cry before and they doubted that Ruby did either. The police were also very shocked as well. They had never seen that much blood on the ground. Some healers brought the girl to the hospital. Her face was deathly white and her pulse was weak but they hoped that their fearless leader would return to being just that.

A doctor asked Yang to leave but a look at her and Ember Cecilia in his face gave him a shiver. Trembling he told the nurses to "stay away from the crazy blonde girl." Team WBY stood at her bedside. Yang was sobbing and clutching Ruby's hand as if it was a lifeline. Blake tried to comfort the sobbing wreck to no avail. Weiss stood there, staring at the 15 year old girl on the brink of death. She thought no thoughts except for one.

'Was this my fault?'

A girl in a red cloak was standing before a pack of Beowulf's. She didn't know how she got there or why she was there but the girl stood still as the group finally noticed her. Snarling, a Beowulf charged right at her but this time she couldn't move. It was like her feet was stuck in place as the fangs of death tore into her left arm and pushed her down on the ground. Ruby tried to retaliate but the Beowulf was still tearing her arm apart like it was Nora eating some sugar filled candy.

Screaming she beat her right hand against the snarling predator but it didn't even budge. Its claw grasped Ruby's shoulder and started splintering the bone making her howl in pain. The rest of the pack rushed over to their prey and started tearing pieces of her flesh, leaving her right arm stripped to the bone. Surprisingly the screaming girl was still conscious.

"I enjoy making you suffer Red."

The grimm released its fangs from her arm and made Ruby stare into its blood-red eyes before clamping its jaws around her head sending her into a world of darkness.

"You're all alone."

And for a moment Ruby believed him.
