Y/N POV
"yes students, the forest is a beautiful place but remember, proffesor peach has asked you all to get 1 jar worth of sap each. Also, the forest is infested with Grimm so stick with your team mates in order to ensure your survival, rendezvous back here in 4 hours" After Glynda finished her mini speech, everyone went off with their team... Except Jaune who went with team CUNT. Something is wrong, he'd never hang out with people like that willingly... I'll figure it out when we get back. For some reason, my team thought it would be fun to go with RWBY and the rest of team JNPR so I just went my separate way in order to avoid socialising. Gripping my jar, I examined the forest before setting my eyes on a large tree, perfect to get sap from.

Pulling my sword out I swiftly impaled the tree before withdrawing it from the wood, causing sap to ooze from the wood bark. Popping the cap off the jar I steadily held it underneath to catch the sweet smelling sap, watching it slowly fill up. Once it had finally filled I screwed the cap of the jar back on before placing it on my belt for safe keeping. Looking at a clearing to my left, I admired the view as the sun started to shine into. Looking down I could see my shadow on the floor, but my eyes quickly widened when I saw the shadow of something on the branch above me holding a sword. Jumping forward I withdrew my silenced pistols and shot at the figure but the bullets only bounced off it. After emptying my clips the figure dropped off the branch and into the light, allowing me to see who or rather what it was.

It was a grimm no doubt, yet had a humanoid figure. A long, large shield was gripped in it's left hand while a sharp, steel blade was gripped in it's right. Bone armour covered basically everything and sharp, bone claws protruded from the tips of it's fingers. Sharp teeth was sticking out it's mouth and blood like eyes were glaring at me from behind it's mask that would give anyone nightmares.

Roaring, the creature ran at me but I simply flipped over it but the grimm spun round and shield bashed me into a tree. My pistols lay on the floor but they were soon destroyed when the grimm walked over them.
"you twat" I growled to which the creature.. Chuckled? WTF!?
Standing up I swung my sword at the grimm to which it just blocked with its shield, leaving me wide open as it slashed me across the chest. Teleporting away I clutched my chest in pain while it slowly, almost agonisingly, healed. Examining the humanoid grimm for weak spots I was only able to detect a few, the neck, the knees, the elbows and the eyes. Tightly gripping my sword I dashed at the grimm, slicing its knee deep enough to draw blood to which it grunted in pain before swinging its sword at me. Ducking under the sharp, steel blade I replied by piercing it's knee with my sword which made the grimm roar in pain before slamming me in the face with it's shield, sending me flying back. My mask was smashed to pieces and I watched on as it cut the sword in half with it's sharp claws, leaving a bit of the blade in it's knee. My total weapons had halved now, only left with the sword/sniper and the dual deagles, both of which were still in our dorm. I was defenseless... Well, not completely.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU AND PROVE MY WORTH TO THE BLACK QUEEN" It growled, causing me to freak out but also go into thought.
If this grimm is sentient then it might have the ability to let it's guard down if I trick it.

Jumping back up I teleported onto the grimm, punching and kicking its head which only seemed to serve to annoy the beast. Grabbing me tightly, the grimm threw me at a rock with its full strength, cracking a few ribs. By now my armour was in tatters and I was nearly unconscious.
Limping towards me, the Grimm held it's sword tightly in preparation to 'end me' and make the 'black queen' proud.
Now Looming over me, the grimm looked at me then chuckled before picking me up by my throat and impaling my stomach. Screaming in pain I gathered enough energy to lift my arm up and stick my hidden blade into it's throat. Falling to the floor, I watched in satisfaction as the behemoth clutched it's throat before falling to it's knees, both shield and sword clattering to the floor.
"I have.. Failed you.. My queen" the monster choked out before collapsing to the floor, dispersing into black dust. All that remained of the creature was it's nightmare fueled mask that stared into my soul.
