William's pov

As the little girl slept, I was deep in thought of her mother, Summer rose. I had heard she passed a long time ago but I never thought her daughter would be so broken.

I stood up and walked out of the room and into the living room. I thought about my past, i sighed and rubbed my face.

A sudden knock on my door caught my attention. I approach it with caution and awareness of my surroundings. I opened it and saw two old college of mine, Tai yang and Qrow Barwen.

Me: Well, long time no see.

Tai: Hey, Will sorry for barging in like this.

Me: Nah, its fine.

Qrow: So, how have you been?

I didn't answer that question because i noticed a slight tone of guilt in their voices.

Me: What the fuck did you guys do?!

Tai: Ruby ran away, and it's all our fault.

Qrow: And we came here to ask for your help.

Me: Leave

T/Q: What?

Me: I said leave, or do you want a repeat of what happened in Vale 13 years ago?

They both shook their heads no and ran off from my house. I sighed as i heard a shuffle come closer to me, it was ruby. She ran to me and embraced me with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Me: My little rose from this day forth, you are no longer a rose. But a noon i will protect you till the world ends.

Ruby(crying): Thank you so much daddy.
