Chapter One: The Chosen One

The world of Remnant. Filled with many species that range from human, to faunus, to animal, and finally, to grimm. Here in this society, there are two kinds of people: you're either a normal human being or you're a hunter.

The normal human beings usually consist of working in everyday careers and jobs such as store clerks, doctors, engineers, managers, and many more.

Hunters and huntresses however, are beyond different. Their tasks are on a completely different scale from everyone else. Having to face the monsters that lurk behind the shadows, protecting the citizens from trouble, learning extreme combat and even facing death frequently.

They say that in some cases, quite a few people are born with hunter traits. Having the abilities that almost seem supernatural, infused within their blood, these people are depicted as the "Chosen ones." Destined from birth to become a hunter or huntress, these people are immediately shifted off to the grand school of Beacon Academy, a place where they are able to harvest their abilities and protect those in need.

Although in some this cases, these same abilities that one is born with can be classified as a curse. If wielded wrong, uncontrollable bursts of power can destroy everything around them. Including themselves.

However, it's rare for these traits to exist in someone. In fact, the statistics of a person possessing such traits is a one in a million chance. It's such a rare phenomenon that many have casted this to be a myth.

That is, until a certain girl was able to diminish that same myth.

Beep, beep, beep.

The loud rings of an alarm clock surround the air within a semi dark room. Blankets rustle as a groan rumbled from under them.

Taking off the the sheets from above, a girl with shaggy, red hair sat up and pushed down the top of her alarm clock. Having turned it off, the messy looking redhead turned forward as she looked at the wooden floor in front of her bed. Sighing greatly, she slapped her cheeks and enthusiastically arose from the mattress.

Scurrying around the room as she picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, the redhead turned her head to be looking at the closet mirror. Sporting a wide smile on her face, she began to walk closer to the mirror as she looked to the corner of it.

Picking up a piece of paper that was jabbed into the corner, the redhead began to recite the words imprinted on it.

"Congratulations Ruby Rose on your acceptance to United Phoenix University…"

Smiling wider, she held the paper to her chest.

Accepted to the university of her choice, she was elated to attend and begin her life as an adult. A life filled with wonders as she majored in business, made new friends, and who knows- a life with a little romance. A life that her mother would have wanted her to live by.

"Ruby!" shouted a boisterous voice from below. "Shop's opening up soon! Get your butt down here!"

The redhead chuckled at the teasing voice.

"On my way down!" the girl known as Ruby responded.

Putting the piece of paper back into the corner of the mirror, she looked at her reflection. Her eyes trailed to her hair as she picked a few strands with her fingers. She looked at her eye color as she used her middle and index finger to part her eyelids even further, and finally, to the complexity of her skin as she touched her cheek.

"Still nothing…" she said to herself. She sighed in relief. "Good."

Shaking her head wildly from side to side, she smiled widely and looked back at the mirror with confidence. "Today, Ruby Rose, is your day. You're gonna own it."

Quickly shuffling around the room as she continued to pick up the clothes, she proceeded to throw each one in an open hangar. "Nailed it," she smirked as she saw that every throw landed within.

Walking toward the door as a grin still adorned her face, she inhaled. "I'll be right down in a bit, I'm gonna shower first!"

"Got it!" the voice responded from below the stairs. Closing the door, Ruby quickly ran into her bathroom. Shedding the clothes off from her body at a fast rate, the redhead stopped after looking at her stomach. She looked at the mark that she was born with. A mark that had it's own history with the redhead.

She ran her fingers over the pinkish skin, eyebrows furrowed. She shrugged the feeling off and went inside the tub, humming happily for today.

Today was her eighteenth birthday.

"No sir~" she sang in the tub as she applied shampoo into her locks. "Everything's gonna be alright~" she smiled as she dipped her head in the water.

Coming out of the bathroom as she dried her hair, the redhead looked at the alarm clock. Her eyes widened when she realized that it was six forty-five.

"Crap!" she said as she began digging in her drawer for clothes. Quickly putting them on, she looked at herself in the mirror one last time. She smiled at herself.

"Alright, Ruby Rose," she began as she moved her bangs to her left, "is ready."

Making her way down the the stairs, the redhead looked up to be facing a male with long side burns. She smiled.

"Hey Tukson."

"Hey there little- oh, I mean old red," Tukson laughed.

The redhead puffed out her cheeks, "I'm not that old. I'm only eighteen…"

The man laughed as he ruffled Ruby's hair.

"Okay, I am old for that though," she said as she patted down her hair.

"Anyways…" Tukson said as he turned away from the redhead. Ruby cocked an eyebrow as she heard rustles in front of the male. "Here's one of your gifts!" he said as he turned around with a cake in his hands.

Looking at the cookie shaped dessert in front of her, her smile slowly began to grow wider. "Thanks Tukson... really, thank you," she said as she quickly gave him a hug, surprising him along the way.

"Woah there Ruby," he grinned as he wobbled the cake in his hands. "You almost dropped your present."

He held the dessert with one hand as he pulled the redhead closer. "But no problem little red."

Tukson quickly opened his eyes, "Ah, ah, ah, wait, there's still more," he smiled.

"Ruff!" barked a dog from the side. Ruby looked at the creature below her. Looking into the eyes of a dog, she leaned down and hugged it.

"Zwei! Hey there buddy," she laughed as the dog continuously licked her face.

"Ruby, I know how you'll be attending university pretty soon. And I know how hard it will be trying to commute on public transportation from home and to school, so…"

Ruby narrowed her gaze as she got up from the ground, "So…" she said.

"I got you a new car!" he said as he parted his arms widely, waiting for the redhead to hug him. He began to sweat when seconds passed and no contact was made. "R-Ruby…?"

"How much," the girl demanded to know.

"W-what are you talking about? It's your birthday! Let's celebra-"

"How much Tukson?" Ruby asked, almost as if she was pleading.

The male smiled nervously as he looked away, "About…."

"What was that?" Ruby warned.

He sighed greatly, "About thirty thousand, but hear me out! The car dealer dude said I can pay payments of fifty a month so everything will be alright!"

The redhead face palmed. "Tukson… you didn't have to spend that much…" she said, feeling saddened. "Plus, if that car's mine, shouldn't I be the one paying for it…"

The male looked at the girl with surprise. He smiled and ruffled her hair once again. "You worry too much little red!"

"Gah! Tukson!"

"Listen kid, it was my decision to buy you a car. Stop thinking about all the little details and enjoy yourself. I mean come on, how many teens do you know that get cars for their eighteenth birthday?!"

Ruby chuckled, "Not many… but-!?"

"Ah, no buts now! It was my choice and now you have to take it or else it'll be bad manners not to!" he scolded as he closed his eyes and held his head high.

The redhead looked at her insisting guardian and gave a small smile.

"Fine…" she said in defeat.

Tukson looked back down to see the redhead pouting, "Good!" he smiled. "Now, wanna go take this puppy for a ride?" he winked as held up the car keys.

"Oh yeah, where is this car…?" Ruby asked.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Ruby." he smirked, "You complained about the cost but you didn't even look at the car first. Trust me kid, after laying your eyes on it, I'm sure you'll fall in love with it," he winked.

The redhead sighed. "Just tell me how it looks."

"Well~" Tukson sang. He jumped over the counter and pointed across the street from where their store was located. "See that smokin' hot, red car over there?" he smiled.

Ruby widened her eyes, "That's what you got me…?"

"Yup!" the male smiled. "Sweet, ain't it?"

"Yeah…. it is…" Ruby said, feeling astonished.

"Well, now that you've fallen in love with it, why not go take it out for a ride!" he said as he jiggled the car keys.

The entrance opened, along with the ring of a certain bell.

"Because that's why," Ruby said as she pointed to the customer.

"Right…" Tukson said. He turned to the person that had come in. "Hello, welcome to the Red and Black Corner! I hope you can find anything that's to your delights!"

The old looking woman bowed toward the male.

"Oh yeah, I forgot!" Tukson said as he rummaged through a pile of papers. "This…" he said as he grinned widely, "came in the mail for you!"

Handing the golden envelope to the redhead, Ruby looked at his smiling face in confusion.

"What… is it…?" she asked.

"Well, why don't you open it up and find out!" Tukson said in enthusiasm.

Ruby furrowed her eyebrows as she turned the envelope over to the front. Her eyes widened. On it in big, bold letters, said "BEACON ACADEMY."

"Here, I don't think I want this," Ruby smiled weakly as she handed the envelope to her guardian.

"Ruby…" Tukson said sadly. "But it's from Beac-"

"I don't want it Tukson, please…" she pleaded as she looked into his gaze.

"But Ruby, this doesn't happen rarely. This can be really important-"

"Tukson," the redhead interrupted. "I don't want anything to do with Beacon Academy, you know that…" she said through gritted teeth.

"Ruby, I know how you feel, trust me. Summer was practically a sister to me. But I don't think she'd want you to-"

"TUKSON," Ruby shouted, releasing a slight vibration that shook the things around her. She quickly covered her mouth as a look of worry washed over her expression. Everything in the store stood silent as the food products on the racks continued to wobble.

"Is everything alright…?" asked the old woman. "Was there some sort of earthquake…?"

Tukson looked at the redhead with worry in his gaze, but shook it off as he looked back at the elder. "Yes, I'm sorry about that ma'am. Times are getting pretty dangerous," he laughed.

The old woman smiled as she continued her shopping.

Tukson watched for a while until he turned his attention back to shocked looking redhead.

"Ruby… are you alright?" he asked the silent girl. No response was given as Ruby's hand continued to cover her mouth.

The male gulped. "Ruby, look," he began slowly. "Your mother…" he said as he shifted his gaze, "she told me about what you have…"

Ruby quickly looked at the nervous looking man.

"She told me… before she-" he stopped himself. "Before she died… she told me that you possessed the po-"

"Actually, I think I am going for that ride," Ruby interrupted as she grabbed the car keys from the counter and began to walk away. "Please take care of the store for a while."

"Ruby, you can't run away from this! This is your destin-" the door closed behind the redhead.

Tukson stood silently in the store. The old woman looked at him with concern as she held a hand to her chest.

"Don't worry ma'am," Tukson smiled weakly. "Just a little teenage rebellion…" he muttered to himself.

Ruby quickly opened her car door and settled down inside. As she tried to turn on the ignition, her eyes glanced to the cup holder to her side. She sighed deeply as she looked at the birthday card. She picked it up and looked inside.

'Happy eighteenth birthday little red! Well, I guess you're not so little anymore now that you're practically an adult. Anyways, I just wanted to wish you an awesome day filled with lots of cool stuff, Am I finally talking hip? Ha, I doubt it. But aside from that, I'm really proud that you were able to grow up to be such a responsible, smart adult. Trust me kid, you're leagues above me when it comes to doing math and English!'

Ruby snickered as she continued reading.

'Anyways, I know your mother would have been proud as well if she saw you.'

Ruby's smile began to drop.

'And I know that she would have wanted you to pursue your dream. The dream of being a huntres-' Ruby closed the card as she rubbed her temple. She started the ignition and drove away.

She kept her gaze narrowed as she remembered a few events from the past.

'You'll have to put your powers to the test Ruby… it is your destiny to be a huntress… you are a "chosen one" after all...'

As she began driving, her hands gripped the wheel tightly as she bit her bottom lip. 'I don't want anything to do with Beacon… I don't want to be a huntress...'

Minutes passed before the redhead finally calmed down. Stopping the car at a red light, Ruby tapped her fingers over the wheel.

"Where should I go…." she asked herself. Looking at the surroundings outside the window shield, her eyes brought her to a group of older teens standing at the edge of the street. Looking at their attire as well as the large objects on them, Ruby clenched her teeth. She knew they were from Beacon.

'Must. Stay. Calm.'

Shaking her head, she looked up and stared at them again. Watching their gleeful faces as they held up some sort of small object in their hands, Ruby narrowed her eyes. Examining closely, the group were all happy as they examined to what seemed to be a small, golden star.

"Hey, move it kid!" beeped a car from behind.

"Crap!" Ruby said as she pressed on the gas pedal.

Moving along the road, the redhead still felt a little irritated. 'Maybe I should go someplace fun and calm...' she thought.

Almost as if a light bulb illuminated within her head, the redhead smiled widely. 'Why not go visit the school's grounds!'

Taking a left, Ruby was excited to go visit her soon to be new school, United Phoenix.

Parking her car in an open lot, she got out and proceeded to head toward the front of the campus. Looking up ahead, Ruby smiled widely to see the head of the school. However, she stopped walking when she saw that there was another person beside him. She knew this man from before. She clenched her jaw.

"And so Mr. Lidaf, I think it would be a marvelous idea if-" the male with gray hair stopped talking after seeing a certain redhead from the corner of his eyes. "Hmm…" he hummed through narrowed eyes.

Ruby could feel the corners of her mouth begin to go down even further.

"Is anything wrong Professor Ozpin?" the old looking head asked. He turned his head to be faced with an angry looking Ruby. "Ah, Ms. Rose! It's so great to see my number one applicant here!"

'Number one applicant huh...'

Yes, hello Mr. Lidaf," Ruby smiled weakly as she began to get closer to the pair. She would glance cautiously to his side, to the other older looking male.

"It's so great to see you! Ah, Professor Ozpin, this happens to be the best applicant of this year, Ms. Ruby Rose," the head said as he gestured to the redhead.

The male with glasses examined Ruby. The redhead clenched her fists.

"I know Mr. Lidaf, she did score very high in her test scores throughout the region," he smirked.

"Well, you must be aware of her excellent academic records then!" the head said in what seemed like an applaudable tone.

"Yes, Beacon," he smiled. Ruby could feel herself lightly biting her bottom lip. "Has heard of her excellence."

"Well, my goodness, Ms. Rose," the other head said in surprise, "You must be very talented if the head of Beacon Academy has heard of you!"

"Yes well, we have sent invitatio-"

"Sorry sir, I don't mean to be rude," Ruby began, "but I came to check on my records in the office and I'm on a tight schedule, so if you'll excuse me," she said as she began walking ahead.

"You can't run forever Rose."

"Wha-?" Ruby said as she quickly turned around.

"Is there a problem Ms. Rose…?" the head of the university asked.

"Yes, is there?" smirked the professor.

As Ruby could feel a slight frown appear on her face, she quickly regained her usual bright smile. "No, just my imagination," she said as she walked off.

"Right… any who, Professor Ozpin, I would be delighted if you went with your-"

"Say, Mr. Lidaf," the glasses wearing male interrupted. "I barely realize that I'm actually late for a meeting, so would it be okay if we talk about this later," he smiled.

Mr. Lidaf looked at the professor with weariness but smiled afterwards, "Ah, my apologies for taking up your time. Would you like me to send someone to pick you up-"

"There's no need for that old chap," Ozpin smiled as he began walking away, "I commuted here by myself."

"Ah well, call me whenever you're free!" the head shouted for the professor to hear. Waving his hand as his back was still turned, the old head took it as an "okay" and sighed in relief.

Walking through the school hallway, Ruby looked at the buildings and rooms around her.

'Woah, this place is really big and pretty cool...' the redhead thought. 'I wonder where the library is at...'

Walking to the empty looking quad, Ruby set her gaze up ahead to the grand stairs that led up to a building. 'Is that…. the library?' Ruby thought in excitement.

Running up ahead with all her might, a pair of eyes looked from afar.

'So she's fast….'

Walking up the steps quickly, Ruby entered the front door and went inside.

'No, she's abnormally fast...'

Walking through the empty isle filled with different genres, Ruby kept looking around. 'This place is amazing...' she thought as she felt the air conditioning cool her down. Making her way to the 'B' section, the redhead stopped. She felt another's presence. She quickly looked behind her, but she faced nothing.

She continued making her way until she stopped yet again when her eyes meet with the title of a book: Beacon Legendaries.

Slowly picking up her hand, she stopped herself before she could reach the book. Her hand twitched before she rapidly picked it up.

Holding the object in her hands, the girl began to apply more pressure in her grip as she remembered old memories. She mustered up all her strength to calm down before she opened the book to the table of contents.

Looking at the list provided, she quickly flipped the pages to the "R" section. Finally making it to her destination, she stopped after seeing a familiar, smiling face. Ruby could feel herself begin to smile.

"Mom…" she quietly said.

"Your mother was a great huntress," said another voice.

Ruby quickly closed the book and put it away. "Yeah, she was a pretty great huntress. But she was a great mother too, you know."

"Yes, I know. How can I forget that my close friend gave birth to a little girl."

"Yeah, it's too bad she had to leave her behind because she was a huntress," Ruby said, feeling her blood begin to boil.

"She did not leave you behind Ruby, it was her duty to protect-"

"BULL CRAP!" Ruby shouted. Her yell echoed throughout the silent library.

"You're lucky that no one is in here Ruby," the voice said. The redhead stood still as she heard the footsteps begin to draw closer. Looking at the corner, Ruby was meet with the old man that she encountered earlier, Professor Ozpin. "Hello there Ruby, it's nice to see you again," he smiled.

The redhead clenched her fists. "Yeah it was nice to see you again, now, I need to go help out my uncle and my shop so if you'll excuse me, I'm heading home no-"

"Your mother would have been disappointed if she saw you like this."

Ruby stopped in her tracks. "What… did you… say…?" Her fists clenched even harder.

"I said that she would have been disa-" the old professor stopped after seeing the redhead rapidly turn around with fury in her gaze as she ran towards him. He sighed. "Glynda."

"On it sir," said a feminine voice from the side.

Ruby's thoughts were currently in a frenzy. She couldn't recognize what was around her, all she knew was that she really wanted to beat the professor in front of her. As she ran closer to the man, a sudden force stopped her from hitting him.

"Well, now that we have this whole mess cleaned up. Glynda, thank you," he said as he brushed the cuffs on his jacket. "Now, Ruby," he said as he faced the frozen girl, her face brimming with anger.

"Same tactics as before?" Ozpin smiled. "Might your anger be the cause of half the city's destruction back then. When was it…?"

Ruby continued to push her hand forward, trying to break through the barrier.

"Oh yes, I remember."

'Don't. Say. It!' Her hand continued to draw forward.

"The day that that the greatest huntress ever lived, died. Summer," Ruby clenched her teeth with all her might. "Rose."

A bright light appeared as the redhead's hand had made it part through the magic barrier.

"Now relax there Rose, I'm just here to convince you to attend Beacon Academy," he smirked. Ruby tried all her might to free herself from the magic placed upon her. Her hand had made it out of the barrier.

"Sir…" the blonde woman murmured. "I can't hold this grip any longer…"

"Right, I forgot she was a chosen one," the old professor said, to which the woman glared at him. "Any who, Ruby, do you think your mother would honestly want you to live a normal, boring life?"

Ruby stopped her struggling as she looked back at the professor. "Do you really think that one of the greatest huntress' that ever lived would want her daughter to live such a boring life?"

Ruby stood still.

"You know, I did mean it when I said that Summer was my close friend. In fact, she would always mention how she was so proud of her daughter," he smiled. Ruby shifted her gaze, her eyes began to cloud up.

"How she was basically a prodigy. She would always mention how when you grew up, she wondered if you would follow in her footsteps. Ruby, your mother dreamed of the day that you would enter Beacon. She knew that you were a chosen one since birth and she wanted YOU to use those powers to protect those around. Because let's face it Ruby," the old man smiled sadly, "If there was anything your mother loved, it was protecting those dear to her."

Ruby widened her eyes. She felt her body loosen around her.

"Glynda, I think it's okay," Ozpin grinned toward the blonde woman. She nodded as she let her grip go from the redhead. Ruby sat on the ground as she stayed silent.

"Now, let's talk about your admi-"

"No," Ruby began, "mom would have wanted me to live happily…"

"Hmm…" Ozpin observed.

"She would have wanted to see me smile for doing what I loved. And that's running the store with Tukson, not putting my life in danger and eventually winding up dead. So no," Ruby said as she stood up, "I'm not going to attend your stupid academy."

"But you will do something that you love, and that's being a huntress," Ozpin smirked, "Did you forget? "When I grow up, I want to be a huntress.""

"That was a long time ago…" Ruby said quietly as she began walking out.

"Sir!" the blonde woman said as she began to chase after the redhead, however, a hand stopped her from doing so.

"Let her go Glynda," he smirked. "She'll be attending Beacon by tomorrow."

He smirked. "She's bound to have trouble follow her. She can't run away forever."

Ruby continued walking over to her new car. She opened the door and settled in as she turned on the engine.

Looking at the mirror above, Ruby quickly looked back after glancing at it.

She parted her eyelids as she stared at the red popping out. "Man… it looks like I've been crying…"

She shrugged it off and went straight home.

Finally arriving to the street right in front of the shop, Ruby parked the car and went inside.

"Welcome to Red and Black- Ruby!" Tukson happily said as he went toward the redhead. "I'm so glad you made it back okay!" he cried as he hugged her. The redhead chuckled.

"Tukson, I'm okay, I just went for a quick drive," she giggled.

"Yeah, but you were gone for a really long time and seeing how that was your first drive in a while, I was having these really bad thoughts that you crashed!" he cried.

"Wow, maybe have a little confidence in my driving skills," Ruby chuckled.

"Yeah, but still~" he continued his childish cry.

"Jeez," Ruby smiled. "You big wimp."

The guardian unlatched himself from the redhead. "I-I'm," he hiccuped, "not a wimp."

"Yeah, yeah," Ruby grinned as she went around the counter. She scratched behind her dog's ear.

"Well, I'm glad to see you back to your happy self," the male smiled.

Ruby looked away from his gaze. "Yeah about that… look, Tukson, I just wanted to apologize for earlier. That wasn't cool of me to yell at you like that and well, I'm sorry…"

"Nah, it's alright little red," Tukson grinned. "it's my fault for pushing your buttons."

"No, it isn't okay," Ruby said as she turned away. "I lashed out and did something stupid to you, when all you've done is be generous and kind, and I'm…"

"Ruby," Tukson said as he placed a hand on her shoulder, "look, kid, it's alright. No need to stress out about it."

"Yeah, well…. again, sorry about that…"

"Tis' okay kiddo," he said in a goof like voice. Ruby smiled. "But, I just want to ask you one last time…" he carefully said, making sure not to anger the redhead. "Are you sure you wanna ignore this?"

Ruby inhaled and exhaled deeply. "I talked to the headmaster of the school today."

"Oh? What for?" the male asked as he began to eat a chocolate bar.

"No, the headmaster of Beacon," she corrected. Tukson began to choke on his candy.

"T-to Ozpin!?" he asked, astonished.

"Yeah, he offered me to go to Beacon… and well, I turned him down…"

The male had composed himself, "So you told him no…?"

"Yeah… I just… wanna live normally…" Ruby said quietly.

"Ruby, you're not normal," the male chuckled. "But, if that's what you want, then I'll respect your decision."

"Yeah, thanks Tukson…" she smiled lightly. Hearing the male shuffle behind her, she looked at the tile floor beneath her, "Hey Tukson…?"

"Yup?"

"Did… did mom ever tell you anything about me, about what she wanted to happen…?"

The male stopped his moving. He smiled at her question. "What didn't she tell me?" he laughed.

"So… did she tell you about the future, what's to come?"

"Ruby, do you really want to spend days here sitting down as we talk about you," he chuckled.

"No, but, I just want to know if she wanted me to be a, well, you know…"

"A huntress?" he asked, a grin still on his face. "Yes, she did."

Ruby began to frown.

"But she also told me that she wanted you to be very happy."

Ruby stopped.

"You were her pride and soul Ruby, she would always speak about you whenever she had the chance. During missions, during short chats, anywhere," he smiled.

"Really…?" Ruby asked.

"Oh yeah," he laughed, "In fact, it was almost as if she was bragging about you. Man, those were fun times… but, I don't think your mother would have forced you or begged to attend Beacon if you didn't want to, so don't worry about it champ," he said as he patted her shoulder and moved away.

Ruby stood silent. 'Mom… did want me to be happy...' she smiled.

"Ruby stand guard, customers can come in at any moment!" Tukson yelled from the back of the store.

"On it!" the redhead responded happily. Sitting in front of cash register, Ruby felt small thumps against her shin. She smiled widely.

"Hey there Zwei!" she said as she ruffled the dog's fur. "Didja miss me?"

A bark was delivered as she continued to pet him. As she did, however, felt a vibration throughout her body. She stopped petting the dog.

Zwei began to cry as he quickly shuffled back into his house in the corner.

'What… was… that…?' Ruby thought, her body sweating at a fast past.

"Hey Ruby, I was thinking, why not live at the college dorms and-" he stopped as he saw the expression the redhead was making. Setting the box down, he quickly moved to the girl, "Hey, you okay red?"

Shifting her gaze to the male, Ruby began to nod slowly, "Y-yeah, just… feeling a little sick," she smiled weakly.

The male narrowed his gaze. He smiled afterwards, "Well, that's good to know."

'Huh…?' Ruby thought.

"Anyways, I gotta get these boxes sorted out, so just take it easy and don't hurt yourself while I'm gone," he chuckled as he left.

"Yeah…" Ruby said.

Sitting on the chair as she faced the front door, Ruby placed her arms on the counter. Her fingers began to tap in a rhythm.

'What was that… it was kinda like... '

The front door opened. "Welcome to Red and Black," Ruby said in her usual happy manner.

Seeing the woman smile at her, the redhead realized that she was listening to music, so she looked back at the counter. She continued her tapping. 'I don't get it… why now….' her gaze looked down the counter until it landed on a gold envelope. Beacon Academy's envelope.

Feeling angered at first, the redhead managed to keep herself calm. Exhaling a deep breathe, she waited a few seconds. Feeling as if she was ready, Ruby grabbed the envelope and opened it.

She began to read the contents of the letter:

'Dear Ruby Rose,

Beacon Academy, as well as it's headmaster, Professor Ozpin, would like to inform you that you have been accepted. On behalf of your excellent grades, your physical achievements, as well as possessing power like no other-'

Ruby cringed.

'-we have decided that you would be the perfect student at our institute. This invitation might come off as strong, but we believe you'll make the right choice-'

'Right choice…?' Ruby thought, feeling irritated.

'-and comply to your mother's wishes-'

Ruby turned the paper around and placed it on the counter. "Why, do they always have to play that damn card…" she whispered. Feeling the thick paper beneath her fingertips, Ruby sighed and turned it over.

'-If you do not wish to attend, the following sequences will occur:

-Failure to recognize your true potential.

-Millions die due to your lack of protection.

-Unbalance

-Seekers appearing from everywhere-'

'Seekers…?'

-And loved ones getting injured, and at worst, fatality.' The redhead's eyes widened.

"Fatality….?" Ruby said quietly. Another vibration hit the girl, making her hide her head within her arms. 'Crap...' Another hit. She continued to lower her head. Another appeared. Her head was now hitting against the counter. 'What the heck is this!?-' One after the other, Ruby kept hitting her head on the counter.

The vibrations wouldn't stop; they began getting faster. Ruby couldn't stop herself from hitting her head. Looking at the counter, she began to see blood stains.

After what seemed like an eternity, the vibrations finally stopped. 'Is it… finally over…-'

A sudden crash through the front, glass doors as well as screams erupted throughout the city and store. Ruby didn't move; looking at the grimm in front of her, she kept still. She could feel herself trembling.

She inspected the being in front of her. Black as the darkest night, body covered in bone plates, eyes redder than blood. In animal terms, the creature would resemble to that of a puma. She continued staying still, watching as it crouched in front of her. She couldn't move, she was going to get hit.

The puma growled loudly, making the windows and glass products break in an instant. Glass covered the store floor. Although the woman in the store was yelling, Ruby stayed quiet. Her eyes were filled with void.

The puma began to look at Ruby. It's red eyes bored into her grey, lifeless ones. The redhead watched as the creature crouched down. With one single push, the grimm was in the air, going toward her, going to kill her. But all she could do was watch with a fearful stare.

"RUBY!" yelled a voice from the side. It was Tukson's voice. However, it was as if the redhead was in a trance; she continued looking at the puma. "DAMN IT RUBY!"

Tukson immediately pushed the redhead out of the stool, making her hit the wall.

Looking back at the beast, Tuskon realized that he was too late to counterattack. Using his arm to cover himself, the puma bit down into his flesh.

"Gah!" Tukson yelped. "You son of a bitch!" he shouted as he grabbed the puma's head and slammed it on the counter. Trying to get the massive fangs out from his flesh, he finally succeeded and threw the grim to the other side of the store.

"Crap, I don't have my damn weapon!" he cursed. Looking over to the still and dazed redhead, he clenched his teeth. 'Damn it… a level three, guess I'll have to use my nails….' As he retracted his nails, he looked at the dullness that they grew to become. 'I'm so sorry Summer.'

"Ruby," Tukson began. The redhead snapped out of her trance after hearing her guardian speak. "I need you to get the woman and get out of here."

"What…? What are you talking about-"

"Ruby. Please. Reinforcements will be coming soon, so I need you to get out of here now," Tukson said as he positioned himself in front of the grimm. He smirked, "Guess it's puma versus puma."

"But what about you! You'll get killed if you just face it with your bare hands!" the redhead argued. Tukson began to see the grimm awake. He clenched his fists.

Walking over to the redhead, he smiled as he grabbed her from the shoulders.

"What the-!?" Tukson picked the girl up from the ground and threw her to the other side to where the woman was crouching.

"Get out of here red, this old fool's already done with his adventure," he smiled as he raised his fists up. "Your mom wanted you to live Ruby, live by what you believe is right." The grimm began to pick itself up. "Now go-" the puma shook it's head before looking at the male. It began to run forward. "GO AND LIVE AN AWESOME LIFE RUBY!" Tukson yelled as he brought down his fist.

'...loved ones getting injured… at worst…. fatality...' Ruby thought. A slight vibration rang in her ears as she cupped them.

Looking over to the woman beside her through squinted eyes, she pointed to the street. "Go, go now…" Ruby managed to say. The woman nodded rapidly as she quickly got up and ran.

Ruby grinned at the woman running away. She crouched lower, feeling as if the gravity turned heavier.

"Come here you little fuck!" Tukson yelled as he grabbed the puma's head. Grabbing with all his might, the male failed to realize that the creature's paws were still free.

As the puma struck down his sharp claws on Tukson's arm, the male let go of the grimm. Looking at the deep wound spill out his blood, he quickly turned his sights to the creature, but only to realize that he was too late.

"GAH!" Tukson shouted as the puma sunk his fangs into his shoulder.

'This… hurts...' Ruby thought as she dug her nails into her ears. Every vibration felt like a large hammer was hitting her head.

'Remember Ruby…'

The redhead could hear distant voices in her mind.

'You have a gift… a gift that can help a lot of people...'

"Damn puma!" yelled Tukson.

'And with that gift… you need to understand...'

"Shit!"

'That you are the only one who can activate it and make a difference.'

She opened her eyes; the vibrations had stopped.

Laying on the floor, Tukson held his shoulder as he looked ahead of him to see the puma circling around. 'Damn it… guess this is the end...' Feeling the warm substance spill out from his shoulder, he chuckled. 'If the puma won't kill me, then I guess blood loss will.'

Looking at the puma begin to crouch, he closed his eyes. 'Well, at least I kept my promise to Summer...'

Giving a mighty roar, the grimm leaped into the air once more.

But as the puma was about to land down, a quick force stood in front of Tukson. Feeling a massive gust of wind, the male widened his eyes to see a familiar redhead blocking his way.

"RUBY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"

Moving her arm back, Tukson stopped his yelling. Hand trembling with a glowing, red substance, the girl used all her power to push forward.

"HAAA!" she shouted with all her might as the floor beneath her began to sink in. As her fist made contact with the grimm's stomach, a grand burst of red energy wrapped around the girl's arm. Feeling the grimm's insides rupture, the creature proceeded to skid across the ground and onto the street as it slammed against the car.

"No! Not the car!" Tukson cried. "I didn't get insurance!"

As Ruby heaved, she observed the mess she had made against the ground. Under her, the floor was dented in. On the tile and on the street the grimm had skidded on, she saw that the floor and concrete were completely destroyed.

Feeling a sting in her right arm, she picked it up. She widened her eyes when she saw that part of her sleeve burned off as steam arose from her arm.

'What… happened….'

"Woof!" sounded a dog from the destroyed entrance. Looking at the dog as well as the reinforcements behind him, Ruby grinned weakly. 'Good…. now… I can sleep...' she thought as she tumbled to the ground.

"Ruby? Ruby?! RUBY!?"

Grey eyes opened to be looking at a white ceiling.

'What the… was that a dream….?'

"Finally you're awake!" laughed a voice from the side. Widening her eyes, Ruby looked to see a smiling Tukson to her side. The redhead saw that the man was covered in bandages.

"Thank god, I thought you'd never wake up," he smiled widely.

"Tukson… what happened…?" she asked as she rubbed her head.

The male stopped his smiling. "You activated your "chosen" aura."

She stood still. "A grimm came into the store and attacked. My guess it's because it traced your aura. Since you're eighteen now, the chosen one powers begin to release, and yours was able to attract an enemy," he said. He looked over to the shocked looking redhead.

"But don't worry about it Ruby," he smiled. "I'm sure through time, you'll be able to control it."

'Fatality...'

"But… when will that happen?" Ruby asked.

"Well, that depends," he chuckled nervously.

"What if it continues…" Ruby asked herself. "What if next time something happens to you, to Zwei, to anyone!?"

Tukson smiled sadly. "Well, that's just life, I guess. We'll just have to be prepared."

'Just life….?'

"Now come on, we have to get that store cleaned up if we wanna keep running a business," he laughed as he got up.

"Hey Tukson…" Ruby spoke quietly. The male turned around.

"Hm?"

"I think…" she said. "I think it'd be better if… if I-" she stopped herself. Thinking about her decision, she contemplated. 'Do I really want to go… I'll be missing out on a normal university… on business…on the store... on Tukson and Zwei.'

She shook her head. 'No, I have to.'

She looked up at her guardian with a small smile.

On the day of my eighteenth birthday, I, Ruby Rose, decided that I would attend Beacon Academy.

Extra

Sitting at his desk as the clock ticked back and forth, a male with gray hair and glasses took out a scroll as he felt his pocket vibrate. Opening up the message, he smirked.

"Police are investigating a strange case that happened today in the city. Earlier, a grimm randomly attacked in a small store called "Red and Black." Officials say that there were no fatalities, but two were injured. I'm Lisa from Vale News, back to you Cyril."

The old man, closed the video and leaned back in his chair.

"She'll be attending this school in no time."
