The Child of Grimm

Chapter 15: Divide

Ruby ran up the tower and finally managed to get to the top, but unfortunately when she did she had gotten there too late. Destiny laid just behind Pyrrha while Pyrrha herself was on her knees before Cinder with an arrow pulled back. Cinder let go of the arrow and it had pierced her chest. Pyrrha gasped for air, but then had gone limp in the matter of seconds.

    Cinder walked up to Pyrrha and placed a hand on top of Pyrrha's head. Her whole body had suddenly glowed orange. Than just like that, she had turned to ash; the only things left were her headgear and the bracelet which Destiny now held.

    Ruby's eyes widened in horror by what she had just seen, and her eyes welled up with tears.

    "PYRRHA!!"

All of a sudden her eyes had glowed white, and it had formed wings suddenly. The white light surrounded everything, including the Grimm Dragon and Cinder who was petrified to see what had happened before her. The whole world had turned white.

It's alright I gotcha kiddo, I gotcha.

Destiny! Destiny! Where is she?! Where the hell is my daughter!?

... Still nothing.

Just turn it off. Without the CCT there's no point.

Communications down across the entire Kingdom... No way to contact the outside world... and Ozpin's still missing.

Yeah.

This is bad Qrow.

I know, this is bad.

Ruby... I'm sorry...

    Ruby had started to come too. Upon opening her eyes, she found herself in a room all too familiar to her, and she was in her gray dotted PJs. She looked and saw her father, Taiyang sitting on a chair, just at the side of her bed, sleeping.

Ruby groaned as she sat up. "... Dad?" She said

Taiyang stirred awake and looked up at his daughter. "Ruby!" He said running over to her, kneeling beside her, "Your awake!"

Ruby let out another groan, "What happened?"

Taiyang explained, "Your uncle Qrow found you, unconscious, he got you out there though, he brought you home safe."

"Wait, Yang!" Ruby exclaimed with worry, "Is she alright!?"

Taiyang replied hesitantly, "Uh, she's... She's gonna be alright. I think she's just... I think it's gonna take some time for her to get used to things. She's too strong to let this stop her."

Taiyang took a moment to wipe away a tear that streamed down his face, "I'm just glad to have my girls back home."

"What about the school!?" Ruby asked, "And Vale! Were they able to clear out the Grimm!?"

Taiyang had began to explain to her, "Things at Vale are under control. But the school... I'm afraid it's not that simple. That thing... Whatever it was... Doesn't seem to be dead. Now, don't get me wrong, you did a number on it, but it's not disappearing. It's kind of... Well, frozen. I know that doesn't sound too bad, but it keeps attracting more Grimm to the school."
