RWBY Fanfiction Shattering Moon

Living through hell part 3

Ruby's POV

Getting dressed while knowing my family was raised from the dead was a pain. Slipping my clothes on and finally my slipping into my cloak, The softness of it a reminder of my mother.

Crescent Rose sat against the dark wood closet door in my bedroom so I could fight intruders without accidentally killing them with the maidens power.

The grip of my weapon felt familiar and foreign at the same time. Familiar by wielding the weapon for the first time in months and foreign overturning it on my family. Even if they weren't raised from the dead turning the weapon that held my bond with Omega and Mom was terrible.

"There is no use thinking anymore on it." I thought to myself aloud."Time to put the dead back to rest." Running out the door as the sight of dark oak with branches that made them look sinister.

However it was something I was used to. I didn't have to worry about being around a lot of people with me living out here. The thing that was unusual was the 4 people walking down the hill towards my house. 

The blonde hair was what told me all I needed to know as a shot was fired at me with precision. The red flare of light made it near my face before I flipped Crescent Rose in front of me taking the blast. 

As I did so the rushing form of Yang came in on the attack. Attempting to strike me in the vitals with Ember Celica. I could tell by her eyes that she didn't want to do this.

Deflecting the attacks was not a simple feat. I had to move with all my semblance's power to be able to even avoid them. She finally went in within my range and I brought Crescent Rose in for the kill only to hear the air slicing from a big claymore slashing at my head. Omega had ran forward while I was busy with Yang and snuck attack me.

I only had time to shoot Crescent Rose's rifle to be able to move to the left to find my mother attacking me with her weapon a sickly smell coming from the blade. All I knew is I don't want to get hit by that blade. Blocking the slash from my mother I let Crescent Rose be a guard only to find the metal of my weapon smoking.

"No!" I shot to the side to escape the strike a small cut in the metal of Crescent Rose was evident luckily it was not all the way through.

Pain then shot through my middle. A black blade was through my cloak and shirt. Gamble Shroud had a deep scarlet from my blood the sheen of the black blade forever stained by my blood. I started to cough as she kicked me off the blade. Blood splattering from my mouth and stomach onto the group. The outline of a Rose was on the ground.

I had to get up but the power was out of my body. I knew if I didn't get up now I would die. 

"Stop!" Those words came from a source in the trees a girl in a black cloak came out the woods. The outline seemed familiar but I would not know the source till later as my vision blacked out.
