We Are Stronger Together (RWBY x OC's)

Killed By You Or By Myself(short)

Jeremiah sat Inside an empty apartment room. The only thing present was a table and a few bottles of wine. He had been staying here with Emerald and Mercury while things got settled and their time was set to infiltrate beacon. He starred at his fake transcripts from haven academy, his new name being "Orion White". He had been the only one that had his name changed. He requested it knowing that his good old "friend" William was present and would recognize his name and it would ruin the surprise he had planned. He began to think back to when he was twelve.

*8 years ago*

A twelve year old Otto sat on a snowy rock far out from atlas or any village. He drew on the ground with a stick making a line through the snow. His older brother mason(yes the c.o.d character) came up behind placing his rifle down before sitting on the ground next to him.

Mason: you doing alright?

Jeremiah: yeah...i'm fine. What about you?

Mason: ugh fuck where to start....theses Grimm have been pinning down more and more. I'm hoping the camp's walls can hold up.

Jeremiah: where's dad?

Mason: still out. Mom's with him so he'll probably be fine

Jeremiah: they'll probably die together.

Mason looks at his brother and holds his hands.

Mason: Don say that, they'll be fine

He said reassuringly. Jeremiah face dawns a sadden expression.

Jeremiah: how many more people have to die?

Mason sighs and looks his little brother in the eyes.

Mason: Hopefully not much longer. Our deployment ends in two more weeks, you can hold up til then right?

Jeremiah nods. Mason gets up and pats his brother on the solider.

Mason: Come and help me get some firewood.

Jeremiah gets up and runs off to collect the firewood. Mason watches and smiles before getting called to a tent. Mason runs over to the tent and sees another faunus soldier.

Soldier: Alright, your father's starting to prepare for our little rebellion. They just stole a shipment from the company, their leading a pack of Grimm their to cover our tracks. Once we get back those high sitting assholes our gonna face our pain.

Mason nods before looking down at a table infront of them with a map and a several notes of plans. Just then Jeremiah comes running in with a pile of firewood in hand.

Jeremiah: Where do you want to put it?

Mason: Put it in the fire pit outside our tent.

Jeremiah nods and runs outside and puts the wood in the fire pit. He looks over at his tent and sees his picture book and goes inside and takes a look at him. He opens the book and the first page he sees is a picture of Him and his friends back home, Weiss Schnee and Willam Alaska. The pictures showed them at Weiss's birthday party. He remembered it not because it was fun but because of the discrimination he faced.

*2 years prior*

Weiss's birthday was today and he was excited for It. The Barnes militia was hired as security which meant he got to attend the party. He met up with William and they both entered the party but Jeremiah was meant by dirty looks. He ignored it and walked in eventually finding Weiss. Jermiah handed her a gift which was a necklace that he "bought" he actually stole it but he had no idea it was a big deal but it wasn't exposed so he just rolled with it. Weiss gives Jeremiah a hug and that's where it started. "Filthy animal" he heard one guest say, followed by murmuring every where he went. He bumped into a guest and spilled her drink.
