The Child of Grimm

Chapter 12: And So The Curtain Rises...

(Opening Theme: When It Falls Ft. Casey Lee Williams)

    Everyone ran through the fairgrounds as the Grimm attacked the stands and the people. Everyone ran for their lives avoiding being eaten as much as possible. Blake and Weiss stood just in the middle of all of it and couldn't believe the destruction in a manner of minutes as well as the amount of Grimm that was around.

    "I don't believe this..." Weiss said.

    Blake heard her scroll ring; she removed it from her pocket and saw Yang was calling. She took the call but put it on speaker.

    "Yang, are you okay?" Blake asked with concern.

-Dormitories-

    Yang quickly ran down the halls with Zwei close behind. She was currently talking to Blake via scroll.

    "I'm fine!" She said as an answer to her question, "Are Ruby and Destiny with you? Ruby's not answering her scroll!"

    "No they aren't with us." Blake replied.

    Yang stopped running, and couldn't help but worry. The only thing that was on her mind was the two of them. They both could be hurt or worse than that.

    She heard Blake over her scroll say, "Yang I'm sure they're fine! Ruby's our leader, she can take care of herself, and she won't let anything happen to Destiny!"

    Yang sighed and clenched her fist, "Alright." She said before she resumed running out of the dormitories

-Fairgrounds-

Blake and Weiss still stood in the middle of all of the chaos that was going on. Weiss looked around once more still having a look of disbelief on her face.

"This can't be happening..." Weiss said solemnly, "Penny..."

Blake's expression saddened when she thought of Penny as well. They still couldn't believe that something like that had happened to Penny. With all the Grimm and the chaos that had happened could this be Cinder's plan that Destiny was referring too the whole time?

Blake heard Yang say, "I'm heading to the docks near the courtyard! The White Fang are releasing Grimm into the school!"

Blake's eyes widened at this, "The White Fang?! They're here!?"

Blake and Weiss started to hear static over the other line. "YANG!" Blake exclaimed.

She soon heard Yang's voice again to which she sigh with relief, "I've gotta go! Be safe!" Thus, Yang had disconnected.

"Blake?" Weiss said, "What are we going to do?"

Blake started to type in what appeared to be numbers. "We're going to the docks." She replied, "And we're doing our job."

A thud sound was heard just nearby; they turned and saw that it was locker. It opened and Blake went to retrieve her weapons. Weiss nodded in agreement, and went to get her weapons via scroll.

-Coliseum-

"Warning. Safety Barrier Failing. Warning. Safety Barrier Failing."

    Ruby sat there frozen with shock after she witnessed the death of one of her closest friends. Everyone that ran out of the coliseum had barely noticed Ruby just sitting there. All throughout her thoughts she was just wishing that she didn't witness what she just saw. At the same time she was blaming herself for what happened.
