You had made it back home safely. (I didn't want to write about you getting food)

When you walked through the doors it was about 7:30 at night, the sun had started to set apon Beacon. You and Qrow lived a few miles away from the school, so it wasn't that far of a walk or ride if you were lucky Ozpin would let you borrow or keep a bike. Speaking of your birthday was coming up, you started you wonder if Oz remembered. You helped put everything you two had bought away, before saying your goodnight to him.

"I'm heading to bed Qrow. Talk to you in the morning."

He mumbled a silent 'Goodnight' before you walked off, walking to your room and getting ready for the night went quick. Climbing into bed you shiver, the covers were colder than you expected them to be, but once your head hit the pillow you were out.

Qrow stayed up for a bit longer then you, drinking like usual. He walked down the hallway to his room, skipping over yours completely, letting you get the much needed rest. He was hoping tonight you wouldn't have any nightmares, he was hoping he got your mind off of it enough that it would leave you alone.

----------------Dream------------

You walked alone down the desert road, trees surrounding you on every side. You continued to walk forward refusing to look behind you, you didn't want to know if there was anything there. After walking for some time a figure started to appear, a dark shadow surrounding him. The closer you got, you started to realize who it looked like. Qrow stood there, his arms were wide open in a loving embrace, you almost started running towards him, before you took a look at his eyes. His crimson eyes were not loving and perky, but murderous and hateful, his smile looked forced as he stood there waiting for you.

You faltered, flating your white ears, almost plastering them to you h/c hair. You blinked and suddenly he was only a few steps from you, his arms no longer out in a loving way. He was walking toward you in a frighting manner, soon enough he was close enough to grab you, and he did. His grip was almost harmful, and yet he never said a thing to you. He raised his hand, in a manner to strike at you, flinching you put your arms up to protect yourself. The strike never came, opening your eyes, you realized you were now alone. The woods darker than before, they no longer resided a happy feeling. You felt a warm liquid drip off of your arm as you breathed you could smell the metallic sent, that was no doubt blood.Tears brimmed your eyes as you saw the seen in front of you. There he laid in a bloody mess, Qrow, his eyes were dull and his skin was pale and lifeless. You were paralyzed, you couldn't even scream.

Your knees ended up giving out, you went to put a hand to your mouth and again you felt the warm liquid fall to your hand.

"No.. No.. I didn't do this.."

Looking up you saw a white wolf sitting in front of you, in front of his body. A red stain coated the fur around its mouth and neck. It stayed silent and looked at you with its black eyes.

Qrow could hear your from his room, and he knew you were having another one. He could hear you moving about, and every once in a while a soft 'No'. He stayed outside of your room though, just in case he was needed.

"No.. No.. I didn't do this..." He heard you mumble and move around again.

"This wasn't my fault.."

"I didn't cause this.."

"His death is not on my hands!"

Qrow stood at your door questioningly, he wasn't sure if he needed to wake you or not. Who were you talking about? You hadn't killed someone had you? If you had, did Ozpin know this? Seconds later he heard you scream and he bolted through the door, rushing to your side. You imminently grabbed for him, you two stayed like this for hours. Qrow didn't ask about what you had said, but he was curious about it, but for now he just let you cry...
