The Child of Grimm

Chapter 14:... Has to Have Faith

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

All of the students and other citizens had gathered around the courtyard at Beacon. Some Atlas Soldiers helped out with the paramedics, with anyone who was wounded, by getting them onto the ship while others had tried calm down from the attack. Oobleck and Port stood among the crowd, with only but a few cuts and bruises.

"Everybody get on board!" Port said to the crowd, "This is a mandatory evacuation!"

"A safe zone has been established in Vale!" Oobleck said, "Everyone, remain calm and listen to Atlas personal!"

Weiss sat on the floor sitting beside Yang and Blake, still in shock by what had happened to them.

She soon heard someone shout her name, "WEISS!! WEISS!!"

Weiss turned and saw Ruby running along side with Destiny's father Roman; he had his scarf wrapped around like a cast. "Ruby!" Weiss said, getting up off the floor, and running towards her. She threw her arms around her. "Ruby we were so worried about you! Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine!" Ruby said pushing herself out of the hug, "Good news, I found Roman! He's on our side now!"

Weiss turned to him, "Hi." She couldn't help but say awkwardly.

"Ice Queen." Roman greeted awkwardly too, though Weiss let that name slide.

Zwei ran up to them; he got up on his hind legs and leaned on Roman's leg. He barked and drooled.

"Oh, good, you really do have a pet." Roman said with sarcasm, "That's nice."

"I did tell you on the way over here didn't I?" Ruby said to him. Roman pushed Zwei off of his leg.

Ruby turned back to Weiss, "Listen, Destiny's in trouble, and we have to go help her. Where's Blake and Yang?"

Weiss lightly gasped, and looked down at her feet. "What's wrong?" Ruby asked her.

"Ruby..." Weiss said solemnly, "There's... Something you need to see."

Ruby tilted her head, as she followed Weiss. When she had gotten to where the ships were, her eyes widened with shock, when she saw, Yang and Blake on the floor severely injured; In fact, Yang's left arm was completely gone and Destiny's bracelet laid in the open palm of her right hand. Ren and Nora sat on the floor as well, both of them injured from the fight as well.

Blake was crying; she reached her hand out to Yang and placed her hand over her's over the bracelet. "I'm sorry..." She said with her voice cracked, "I'm... I'm so sorry..."

Ruby placed her hand over her mouth. Roman looked at the injuries on her friends and had a pretty good idea who did this, "... Damn the White Fang..." He said, "First they kidnap my daughter, and now they... They really are heartless aren't they?"

"...Yang..." Ruby said solemnly, "No..."

Sun walked over to Ruby, "Hey, she's going to be alright. The soldiers are going to take you guys to Vale."

"But Jaune and Pyrrha are still missing!" Nora said, trying to get up, but groaned.

"And we still have to get Destiny!" Ruby said, "She's in danger!"

"We can't leave her or them!" Weiss said to Sun, "They're our friends!"

"Look guys!" Sun said before pointing up to the Dragon, "That giant Grimm keeps circling the school! Even the White Fang are pulling out! We all have to go... Now!"
