No Rescue

Unfortunate.

*Qrow's P.O.V.*

I looked over Ruby's shoulder and saw a face I hadn't seen in years. I was so happy to see her..

"Summer...." I whispered. She was standing there, smiling back at me.. I knew why she was there. It won't be much longer now...

*Ruby's P.O.V.*

"Summer..." I heard him whisper. There was nobody there... I think I understood why he saw her... The thought made me cry harder. I looked back to my uncle. He grabbed my shoulders slowly and gently, looking deep into my eyes... I could tell that he knew too...

"Kiddo.." he coughed. "I love you s-so much... N-never forget that..."

"I l-love you too.." I replied, not even trying to hold my tears back. Nora stood by the door, crying herself at the scene in front of her.

"I wanna d-die knowing that you are going to be h-happy... That you're n-never gonna give up... Because life is shorter than you th-think.. Y-you could be doing one random thing at some random t-time and then bam.. You're dead... Time goes by s-so fast... I w-want you to understand that..."
He told me. I hugged him tight. He smiled.

*Qrow's P.O.V.*

I looked at Summer, who nodded.

"I'm ready, Summer...." I said. She smiled and walked towards me, holding her hand out for me to take. I looked at my niece one last time. She was staring at me, eyes wide and filled with tears. I smiled at her, and she, very slightly, smiled back.

I took Summer's outstretched hand, and my eyelids started to get heavy.. I was so tired... I just needed to sleep.....

*Ruby's P.O.V.*

I hugged him as tight as I could. Then suddenly... His arm went limp... It fell from my shoulder.. His head fell against my chest... I gasped and grabbed his shoulders, lifting him from my chest..

His head was down, eyes closed, and his body was completely limp... I shook him. "No..nononononono!!! Uncle Qrow! Wake up!!! C'mon snap out of it!!!! NONONO PLEASE!! PLEASE NO!!!" my chest heaved as a new wave of tears hit. I cried so loud that a Grimm from five miles away would have been able to hear it...

Nora covered her mouth and squeezed her eyes shut, weeping into her hand. She tried not to cry too loud, unlike me. I wasn't even going to attempt to hold it in... There was no way that was possible...

That was it... My Uncle Qrow was dead... So Unfortunate...
