Chapter 10 Facing your Demons

"There are times in our lives when we have to realize our past is precisely what it is, and we cannot change it. But we can change the story we tell ourselves about it, and by doing that, we can change the future."

-Eleanor Brown-

(Location: Team RWBY dorm Beacon Academy Vale Remnant)

Ruby was turning in her bed. The petite leader has been having problems sleeping lately. This sort of thing has been happening for a while. She has been experiencing a lot of exhaustion, especially in her aura reserves. It was because of her training with the Flash, the scarlet speedster has been giving her a training regime to make her run faster. It was a tiring training routine but she hasn't given up and she's been getting result. The scythe wielder has gotten faster than she usually is, not to mention she can run longer than she used to. The training was that effective and ever since then, she's been tired or just simply exhausted. The leader of RWBY resume turning from her sleeping spot above her partner Weiss. It looked like she was having a bad dream she was able to see the images to what it looks like to be a dream, yet it felt real.

The outside of the house was surrounded by police officers. The little boy that was crying for his mother stood next to an adult with dark skin and mustache, wearing a police uniform. The man was trying to comfort the boy who was crying watching the sight unfold before him. The man who was his father was wearing handcuffs been taken by two officers. They send him to a car while the man had his head down not bearing to look at his son.

"I swear to God I didn't do this."

"Dad! What's happening?!"

"Barry! Please, don't go into the house!"

"Dad!"

"Don't go into the house!"

But he chose to ignore his father's warnings. Entering the house there were more officers and he stood shocked at what he was seeing. The body of his mother, not moving and was been covered by a bag.

"Mom!"

"Barry! Stop!" the dark skin officer stopped him.

"No mom...." he sobbed as the officer embraced him.

"It's all right Barry, I'll look after you from now on."

"....."

The courtroom was filled with people. The boy stood among the audience, the dark skin police officer stood by his side. The boy's father was seated in one of the tables facing the judge. The father looked scared as he knew he was in trouble and the chances were high he won't be seeing his son in a long time. The boy looked like he was ready to cry and the officer was trying to calm him down. The judge turned his gazed towards the left corner where the members of the jury stood. It seemed as the case was about to reach its conclusion.

"Have the members of the jury reach a verdict?"

"Yes we have, your honor" a man stood up facing the judge" we find the accused, guilty on all charges."

The crowd reacted whispering while the boy starts crying and not even the comfort the police officer was giving him wasn't enough to calm him. The judge hit his mace telling the people to stay quiet. With the verdict of the jury confirmed, he was about to reach the final verdict on the boy's father.
