An Arranged Marriage

Arrival to the Palace

A/N: Wow... This one was long, but fun to write. That's the dress you're wearing right now, not in the flashback and to all my RWBY fans if you've been keeping with volume five news then that flashback should be very familiar (just not exactly the same). 

~~~~~~~~

You felt the moon shine down on you as you stared down at the courtyard of the palace. Frost covered it as a harsh winter began to settle in, snow began to cover the ground.

You walked to the center and looked around you to see a small snow storm swirling around you. You kept your guard up and watched for anything that moved in it.

Thumps of footsteps came by and you scanned around to see glowing red eyes, your grip on your sword tightened.

One of the creatures surrounding your growled softly, as if to warn you to get away now.

You narrowed your eyes and sharply turned as you heard a creature jump up from behind you, you quickly stabbed it causing it to fade away into nothing.

You would not run away, you would fight. Giving up would be exactly what they wanted you to do.

Another came from behind and you quickly back flipped, digging your foot into its spine to give you a good opportunity to stab its back. It faded into the swirling snow.

You front flipped off and landed with sword stabbed into the ground. Once your foot hit the ground, sharp rocks came from the ground and stabbing surrounding monsters. You smirked as that seemed to be the last of them, but more soon came.

You gasped and immediately lept into battle, flips and quick steps were flashing all around the courtyard. Monsters groaned in pain and faded away as you took them out one by one. Anyone watching would've compared you to a ballroom dancer with your footwork.

You threw your sword causing another monster fade away as the sword fell you rolled forward to grab it. You stood on your feet only to feel a wave of harsh snow hit from all sides, you yelped and gasped as you heard your sword clatter on the ground.

You were about to go grab it before more monsters came and surrounded you. You grasped onto your necklace, trying to summon Purson's equip. Nothing came as one of them leaped towards you and pinned your down, you kept your hand against the bottom of its jaw; keeping it from hurting you.

You clenched your eyes shut as you heard all of the other monsters leaped in, fear gripping your heart. You called out her name, "YUKI!"

Then, everything faded away. The only thing that remained was the frost on the courtyard, you panted and sat up, resting on your knees. Footsteps came up to you and you heard a sigh, you looked up to see white hair and disappointed e/c eyes looking down at you with a magician at her side.

"I'm not always going to be around to save you, Y/N," she said softly.

"I know... I'll get better," you responded with disappointment in yourself laced in your tone.
