Child of Grimm

Safe and sound

Qrow carries Azdra as they look for a suitable place to rest in the forest.

He notices that she has s bag strapped to her belly and he takes it off he finds food,water a medics kit, an antidote for scorpion poison and her locket and her swords and a notebook and pen and her scroll and a box of dust pellets.

Wow..what? Ruby comes over to him. Look at this he says.

She must've known. He says.

Is she going to be ok? Ruby asks and everyone looks up at this. Qrow puts the girl on her side against a tree and he says why don't you all start a fire.

I'll
see what I can do for her. Ruby nods and Qrow bandages her side and then he says kid...you awake?

Azdra gasps and she looks at him her eyes unfocused. Drink this he says. It'll help.

It's antidote right? Y-ess. Azdra says her voice sounding unused.

Ok Qrow says gently I'm gonna help you drink it it's ...he opens it and says oh it's a needle. Ok. He says.

Qrow looks over at the others who are watching breathless. Ren come here he says. Ren comes over and Azdra sits back and Qrow says hold her hand Qrow says I have to stick her. Ok. Azdra? Azdra....look at me ok?

Azdra slowly turns and looks at Ren. Qrow sticks her arm after a few moments and Azdra screams silently agony pouring over her face. I know...I know..Qrow whispers. He looks through the medical kit and he says breathe into this it'll help you sleep ok? No...no...I- he puts to her face I'm sorry kid. He says as he and Ren ease her down. Lets take her over to the fire ok? Qrow says I want to keep an eye on her.

They put Azdra on the ground on a blanket that she had and her head is resting in Ruby's lap. Uncle Qrow what's going on? What happened to her. I don't know. Qrow says. He sighs. I guess now is as good time as any he says. Most people believe in something he says looking at the fire ...and there are many gods but if you believe Ozpin then it's
the two brothers that are true. He says.

The older brother created life and living during the day and at night his brother would bring famine and fire ...destruction. Eventually the older brother got tired of it so they decided to create something together. And this being man was given the ability to chose he says to follow the path of light or the path of darkness. But here's the kicker he says. You know the four gifts of humanity? Creation and knowledge choice and destruction each of those are also in a physical form Qrow says. He sighs and gets up. I'm going to take watch. You all get some sleep. He says. He gets an extra blanket and puts it over Azdra.

In the morning Qrow finds Azdra curled on her side clenching her locket. Hey kid. She opens her eyes and looks at him fearfully

Q...rooow? Yeah kid. You feeling ok? I...won't die. That's good.

Qrow says helping her sit up.. she pulls her legs up and eats silently while the others talk quietly.

After a while Qrow says we should get moving. He helps Azdra to her feet and she stumbles hold on Qrow says can someone find her - perfect. Jaune hands her a walking stick and she leans on it thanks...J-Jaune.

He nods to her and Qrow puts her weapons on her back and her pack. Got it? Azdra nods. Her eyes are glazed and unfocused.

They keep walking and come to a crossroads. What now? Ren that's your home town isn't it? Qrow asks.

Yes. We don't need to go there. It's abandoned Qrow says. Besides there might be something Azdra can use. He sighs. You're right he says. They walk to the town slowly and they put Azdra down they look around ....hold on Ren says. He goes to a wall and presses in certain bricks and a small shelf in the wall opens up. Whoa...Qrow says. Ren pulls out a vial of black dust. She made this for me. It's specifically made to kill Grimm he says. There's only one. It's for a certain one. He puts it in his pocket and then they all look over when Azdra suddenly sits up and she looks around and she points to the courtyard when there's a sonic cry heard in the distance.

No. Ren says. No! Azdra pulls herself up and stands against the tree. Azdra watches as the horse and rider Grimm the Nuckelavee comes out of the smoke. It looks around and fixes its eyes on Azdra. Azdra hunches over and she raises her sword - Azdra no! Just the Grimm stretches its arm out to her and she whacks at it and it picks her up with its hand and roses her away. She thrusts  her sword out and creates a glyph to take her fall and she rolls on the ground. She gets to her knees and Qrow says get to safety! He points to a building. You're not ready for close combat he says. Azdra nods and runs towards a building I go on top of it and I hide in one of the upper rooms and I create my sniper dust and I shoot at its back while the others go for its arms and legs. I see Ren take out his farther's dagger and he takes it out. I go to the window and Qrow comes out and says come on kiddo.

Ruby and Qrow help me onto the air ship and I lean against the side of the ship. I look over at one of the workers when they say what kind of Faunus are you? Azdra coughs and she says a w-o...uff? What? Just take it easy kiddo.

I take a deep breath and he says just try to take a rest. Okky. She leans against Qrow and he puts a hand on her shoulder.
