rwby fanfic: calm after the storm

That's what you get when you ask your folowers what content they enjoy most. Okay, first english fanfic. Hope it isn't too terrible, but a promise is a promise. Here goes nothing.

She wanted to scream, she wanted to shout, but the words couldn't leave her lips. With a sad feeling she realised that they never could, that they never would.

The wind whoosed around her, messing up her perfect hair, as she fell and she fell. The grimm around her didn't seem to notice her, excited as they were to feed of the chaos below. The little girl grabbed her umbrella tight, hesitating. Should she open it? Maybe it would slow her fall, giving her the chance to live one more day, but was it really worth it? The suffering, the hate, all the killing, she was just tired of it all. All she wanted to do was sleep, forever.

Memories flashed through her head as fast as the wind that made her ears pop. Cinder, Emerald, Mercury. People she once considered family, but it was all a lie, it had always been a lie. One memory seemed to push all of them away, a happy feeling, brighter than the others. And at that moment, she truly remembered.

"So what's your name?" The redhaired man curiously asked. Neo just ate her icecream and didn't say anything.

"Not much of a talker, are you?" The man sniggered, revealing his shiny white teeth. "Well, that's even even better, since I can talk enough for the both of us. My name is Roman Torchwick," he said with a theatrical tone in his voice. "I'm a master in thievery, theft and you may even say I'm marvelous at breaking out of prisons. I dare even say that I'm one of the biggest criminals to ever excist! But you won't tell that to the police, now will you?" He said, putting his indexfinger for his mounth, making a shushing sound.

Neo nodded. This man had given her free icecream in return for her willingness to listen to his crazy stories, she dare to betray him.

"What's your name, little girl?" Roman asked again. "How can an adorable little girl, such as yourself, wander around the streets alone at 8 in the evening, aren't your parents concerned that you'll be taken away by terrifying individuals, such as myself?"

Neo dug deep into her memory, but nothing was there. "You may also write it down if you like." Roman shove his napkin towards her and pulled a pen seemingly out of thin air. "Here you go."

Neo panicked. She did not want to disappoint the kind man, but she couldn't even remember her own name. She looked around trying to find answers that weren't there. Suddenly, she looked back at her icecream. Neopolitan. Yeah, Neopolitan sounded nice. Her name would be Neopolitan from now on.

Neopolitan, she wrote on the napkin. I've lost my memory. I'm scared.

Roman read the swirly written text on the cheap thinpaper napkin. "Don't be scared Neopolitan," he replied kindly. "Neopolitan, Neopolitan, very fancy name, but not very easy to say. What about Neo? Neo sounds better."

Neo nodded. "So you don't remember anything, anyone? No family, friends?" Neo nodded again. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. "O Neo, don't be sad. That's making me sad," Roman looked like a beaten dog. "I know!" He suddenly jumped up, making his chair fall on the ground. He smiled brightly and shouted: "We'll find you a new family!"

Neo looked hopefull. "I'm going to have a new job soon, a huge job with some old friends and I'll need some assistance, would you be my assistant, Neo?" Neo nodded happily. "Great!" Roman jumped on the table. "Can you fight, Neo?"

Neo shrugged. "O yes of course, memory loss. Don't worry Neo, I know just the guy!" Roman kicked Neo's neopolitan icecream from the table. It splattered into a bazillion pieces and Neo looked very upset at the pink and brown mess that covered the floor. "You'll get all the icecream you want Neo! You'll be my adorable sidekick, my guard, my muse!"

Roman squated and said: "Is that a deal, little girl?" Neo shook his hand. The deal had been made.

The owner from the icecreamshop walked to their table with a furious look on his face. "Are you gonna pay for that or do you need my fist in your face, maniac? Get of the table!" He shouted. "I would love to do either of those things, friend. However, I'd prefer you'd give me all your money and a huge container full of icecream for the little girl. It would be a shame to wasted my bullets on an excellent icecreammaker," smirked Roman, pulling his cane from under the table. "What?" The poor man looked annoyed. Roman fired his cane at the ceiling, making the shop owner jump in fear and surprise.

"Your first job starts now Neo!" Roman shouted. "Now, where is the money?"

Neo still fell and fell. Cinder, Emerald, Mercury. People she once considered family, but it was all a lie, it had always been a lie, except that one memory. That one person. Roman.

She couldn't betray her only friend, her only family, now could she? The only person that ever cared about her?

Neo opened her umbrella and everything went silent as calm after the storm. Her fall slowed down and it was in this very moment that Neo could finaly see all the destruction below in all it's glory and ugliness. She could see all the houses of innocent people burning, but from here they looked like happy bonfires. Bonfires she had felt in her heart while thinking of that one moment. The moment she had found a home.

Neo landed (or should I say crashed) on the roof of a flat that stuck out of the skyline like a nasty thorn on a rose. Neo didn't care about all her cuts and bruises at that moment, she just sat there and there was only one thought in her mind as the hell had broken out beneath her.

Hopefully Roman would be okay.
