Red Like Roses

"Aren't you a little young to be in a place like this?" Lil' Miss Malachite question.

"I didn't come here to get sass I came for info." I tightened my fists.

"You have one hell of a mouth on you little-"

I put Crescent Rose to her throat.

"You know who I am and what I'm capable of."

Her gaurds started to get close to me.

"Of course I know who you are, the fall of Beacon hardened you're heart so now you think you're a big shot, but trust me you aren't."

She waves her fingers, and her gaurds swing at me. I fling Crescent Rose around slashing both of their throats instantly. Lil' Miss's eyes widen as she watches both of her gaurds gush blood all over the hardwood floor.

"Tell me what I want to know." I wiped the blood off Crescent Rose.

"A-and what would that be?"

"Where is Adam Taurus?"

"Come on guys if we don't do anything together we'll never bond!" I groaned.

"Listen Ruby, you and I have done stuff our whole lives and no one else really seems all that interested especially Ice Queen over there," Yang started, "besides I'm not going anywhere anytime soon."

Though something told me that Yang was right I still wanted to be a real team. Fortunately over the next few months Weiss, Blake, and Yang all got along as team RWBY was shaping up to be strong. We also got pretty close with another team, and they were called team JNPR. JNPR consisted of Jaune Arc, the guy Yang and I met on our way to Beacon, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, and Lie Ren. Nora and Ren are childhood friends and Pyrrha is a famous athlete, if you wanna call her that, who was also on a box of Pumpkin Pete's cereal. The eight of us did a lot of bonding together, but we also fought together too. Apparently Pyrrha was part of something bigger that was never explained to me and Blake was fighting Adam Taurus, a member of the White Fang who wanted nothing more but humans to fall and worship him or die.  I think that's really enough exposition for now.

The Grimm that Cinder brought were relentless creating a bloody massacre that would ruin all futre plans for Beacon. While taking down a few Beowulves I heard what sounded like Blake screaming. Using my semblance I make my way to where Blake was, but unfortunately I was to late. Adam Taurus was laughing over top of Yang's body.

"Oh Blake how many people need to die before you realize you need me?" Just as he went to swing at Blake I quickly blasted off his arm with Crescent Rose.

"You think Back up will save you?" Adam grabbed his sword from his servered arm.

"I'm not saving anyone." Crescent Rose changed to it's scythe form, "but I'm gonna make you wish someone could save you."

Before I could do anything I heard another scream, but this time it sounded like Pyrrha. Blake stood up and nodded.

"I got this." Blake wiped away the tears and readied her blade. I used my semblance to follow Pyrrha's scream. There I saw Cinder turn Pyrrha into dust.

"NO!" Once again I was to late. Someone else that I care about died because I wasn't quick enough well no more.

"Little Red." Cinder smirks, "I was wondering when..."

I dug Crescent Rose deep into Cinder's throat. Cinder's body fell to the ground as she bled out.

"Good Riddance."

{Present Day}

"I-I don't know where he is I swear!" Lil' Miss Malechite stumbled over her words.

"So you think I'm just gonna believe you." I looked at Crescent Rose.

"I..."

"Relax I'm not gonna hurt you." She let out a deep sigh of relief, "Much."

A few hours later I walked outside to be where BMBLBY was and loaded her up.

"Don't worry Yang," I put my hand on the handlebar, "I'm going to find Adam and avenge your death."
