The Devil Within (Cinder Fall) [RWBY]

Chapter 1

"I made myself at home in the cobwebs and the lies, I'm learning all your tricks I can hurt you from inside" - The Devil Within (Digital Daggers)

~~~~~~~~~

The trees of the Emerald Forest have been in full bloom for a couple weeks now. The forgotten path we walk down full of weeds and wild flowers. The woman in front of me walking gleefully walking with a hop in her step. She may as well be skipping and spinning around the trees. Honestly, her happiness is revolting. But it is kind of ironic. I'm her best friend, as she's told me so many times before. Though, I suppose it does benefit me. After all, she is the one who is going to give me what I want. She won't see it coming, which will only make it that more satisfying.

I'm going to take the powers of the Summer Maiden, the very woman right in front of me.

 She had wanted to take me out on a picnic. However, the ditz decided to choose a more than average Grimm populated forest. An attack would be a good opportunity to harness her powers, even though it does put more risk to me as well. I supposed I just need to work with what I get. Patience is a virtue.

"Ahh, here we are!! This is the place I was telling you about, Emmy. Isn't just wonderful??" Her face was alight with joy as she spun in some circles before running towards the center of the field.

The maiden had brought me to an opening, all sides surrounded by the trees of the forest. All kinds of wildflowers varying in color scattered throughout the grass. A small lake was placed near the opposite end. Even from here it seemed as if the water glistened magnificently from the afternoon sun. 

The eccentric female was dashing towards the azure colored lake, but quickly skidded to a stop as a roar resonated through the forest. She turned back to me, and even from here I could see her body physically shaking and the fear reflecting in her eyes.

How did this idiotic woman become the Summer Maiden? She has no battle skills what-so-ever. No intelligence. It really is quite a mystery.

"Get over here! Now!" I won't let anything else kill this moron. I'll be the one to spill her blood over this green grass.

Her body suddenly froze up. She shakily brought her hand up pointing towards me. Turning around, I come face to face with Beringel. It brings it's hand up to hit me, but I jump out of the way, dodging getting squashed by the ginormous creature. Well won't this be fun.

Looking around, I notice that at least a dozen and a half  Beowolves have also appeared. Well damn, isn't this just a party. Reaching behind my back, I grab Night Flame. Pulling her out, I let her form into my blade. The obsidian blade shines in the sunlight. The white hilt is infused with the familiar golden and scarlet feathers. 

I've fought a Beringel before. I know their weak spots. Charging at me, the Beringel picks up speed until he's nearly right in front of me. Waiting for the right moment, I run forward two steps and jump up, slices up his stomach and sternum. The beast falls down, affected by the vandalism to one of his only weak spots. Being air-born, I turn and spin as I descend, penetrating my sword through his skull.

Two weak spots. That's all he has. After taking advantage of both, the creature is dead. Quickly getting back into action, I eliminate two Beowolves. That's when I notice.. someone one taking my main target away. A man. Messy black hair. Tattered red cape. Thick silver sword, though I don't doubt it's more than it seems. 

I start to chase after him, set on taking the Summer Maiden's powers. Unfortunately it seems as more Beowolves have decide to join the part, as well as a King Taijitu. Quickly getting to work, the amount of Beowolves dwindles down more and more.
