Cold As Ice: RWBY

The Woods

I arrived at my dorm and unlocked the door with my scroll. I peeked my head inside and found that no one was inside. "Wonder where Yuuto went?" I thought. I dropped my stuff on the only available bed in the farthest corner. I walked to the shower and turned on the water. Blood started to flow from the shower head. I blinked and shook my head and looked again. It was just regular water pouring out now. I took off my shirt and looked into the mirror to see the words "Murder" written on the glass in blood. "Ah!" I yelled. I fell backwards onto the ground. I stood up and looked again. The words were gone. "I must be going crazy," I thought. I finished undressing and stepped into the shower for a quick wash. After I finished, I stepped out and got dressed. "Finally I can sleep in an actual bed since arriving here," I yawned. I hopped into bed, my last thought being drawn to a field of snow.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I opened my eyes and found myself in the woods, during a moonless night. "What in the world.....?" I thought. I looked around a little more. "Hey Ryan? You all right?" I heard a voice ask. My eyes widened. "No, it can't be..." I whispered. I turned to be face to face with Emma, who was supposed to be dead. She stood there holding her black bo staff, just as I remembered her. "Come one slow poke," she chided, "Michael and Takeda are going to leave us behind." She started to trot off, but I grabbed her arm. She turned and asked, "What's wrong Ryan?" Tears started to well up in my eyes and I pulled her into an embrace. "I have missed you so much," I said. "I have lived with the weight of your deaths' on my shoulders and you're here now and everything's okay." She pulled out of my embrace and looked at me funny. "Our deaths?" she asked, "What are you rambling on about? We have a Hunt to finish." She started to run off deeper into the woods. "NO WAIT!" I yelled. 

I started to run after her and found myself in the middle of a clearing. "No, no this can't be happening again," I thought. I saw both Michael and Takeda on their knees looking at something and Emma poking around the bushes. I tried to yell for them to get out of the clearing, but nothing came out of my mouth. I tried running towards them, but I couldn't move. I tried to do anything to warn them what was about to happen. I begged my body to move, to do something besides watching them. 

All of a sudden, a bloody cry  filled the sky. All of my teammates stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky. A silhouette of a wyvern filled the sky. It landed on the boulder in the middle of the clearing. The wyvern let out another horrific scream. "Takeda, flank him and try to get in his blind spot!" Michael commanded. "Roger that!" yelled Takeda. He ran towards the end of the Wyvern, while Emma pounded the wyvern with energy blasts from he bo staff. Michael drew his dual shotguns and fired repeatedly at the monster's face. Everything seemed to be going fine until the wyvern let out its loudest and most bloodcurdling roar. Grimm started to appear as if out of thin air around the clearing. I could only silently scream and watch as my friends started to die. Takeda was the first to go. He was impaled by the wyvern's tail. Michael was surrounded by Ursa and mauled to death. A beowolf snuck up behind Emma and bit into her neck. I could only watch her scream as she bled to death. I fell on my knees and started sobbing. "I'm sorry!" I cried, "I'm so sorry! I can't believe I let this happen again!" I saw a silhouette of a man walking towards me, wearing a mask with a skull engraved across it. "How does it feel to watch your friends die again Ryan?" he taunted. "Who are you?" I asked through gritted teeth. I clenched my fists as hard as I could. "Oh you don't even recognize me?" he asked. "I'm hurt." He took off his mask and he was none other than my father. He grinned evilly at me. "Damn you!" I yelled, "DAMN YOU!!!" He walked up to me and grabbed my face. "Remember this day and remember it well!" he hissed. "This was the day you lost everything and this became the most infamous Hunt to have ever happened in Remnant." He stood up and pushed me onto the grass onto my back. He then turned and started to walk away then faded into the darkness, leaving me alone with my deceased friends and my own thoughts for company.
