Second chance

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

The warriors were fighting ferociously, Red slashing with his swords, Cassandra dual wielding her Peacemakers and Odessa covering them from on top the truck, while Travis and Alexander were fighting to protect the people in the other truck. The more grimm they killed the more kept coming so the situation was getting dare.,

"There too many of them, what are we going to do?" Cassie shouted.

"Just...keep...fighting, they are going to give up eventually." Red responded, but he knew that odds of that were slim.

"Come on you shits, im right here!" Travis said.

Out of nowhere a scream was heard coming form one of the trucks, a grimm was making its way to the people trapped inside. Red saw this but he could not respond in time because he was being surrounded by the monsters. As the creature was about to enter the back of the truck it was cut in half by Alexander. He looked at the terrified people.

"Alright, enough is enough! Stay here, nobody move!" Alexander turned and fought his way to the middle of the battlefield. "Everyone find cover!" The group looked at him, Travis and Odessa knew that his was planing to do, so they did as he asked while Red and Cassie continued fighting. Immediately his blades returned to his arms and out of them came out two small tubs and out of them came small flames. He made a certain movement with his fingers and spun around which spread a large wall of flame in all directions. Once they saw this Cassie and Red jumped behind the vehicles to protect them self from the fire. Once the fire dissipated there were no grimm in site. The group came out of their hiding spots.

"What the hell was that?" Red asked with hint of anger in his voice.

"That my friend was my semblance. And you should probably thank me for saving your lives."

"We had everything under control."

"Sure you did."

"Wait, so you can control fire?" Cassie asked.

"It is technically called pyrokinesis my blond beauty, but yes you can call it that. Only thing is that I need a source of fire to manipulate it so I have these."

"No matter how you call it, someone could have gotten seriously hurt, These people don't have protective auras like we do."

"That is why I told them to stay in the trucks where its safe. Those things can take a lot of damage."

Odessa interrupted the discussion "Enough arguing you two, we need to get these people to Atlas fast, its going dark soon and I rather not be caught out there during the night."

"Odessa is right, we need to get moving. Alexander, you and the masked man there check if that truck can be pulled from the ground."

They tolled the people to get out of the truck so they could pull it out, but not even with all of their help the truck would not move.

"Its really stuck, there no way of us moving it even with the help of the other transport."

"What are we going to do?" a women asked Travis.

"The way I see it the only solution is for you boss to go with your truck and get your group to safety while we wait for you to come back." Odessa said while sticking her head out if the driver side window.

"Your are right. There is a small town about and hour and a half from here, I can drop these people of there and come back fro you."

"That settles it, you will leave them there and come back for us in three hours and everybody will be safe and sound after that."

"Alright, Alexander you are coming with me." The man simply nodded.

The two soon departed with their group and left Red, Cassie and Odessa to watch over the ones who were left behind. Soon the night fell and it grow colder. Odessa was in the front of the truck while Red and Cassie where outside keeping watch for sings of any trouble. Cassie approached the masked man.

"Are you alright?" Red turned around and responded.

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Because I saw you staring into that women and her child and the nightmare you had on the plane. You can tell if something is going on. You can trust me."

He looked at her for a moment and then said "Fine... I-I been having these dreams and feelings that come out of nowhere. I don't know if they could be memory flashes or something else but..."

Cassie came closer and put her hand on Red shoulder "Don't worry everything is going to be fine once we get to Atlas and you will have your answers." He really wished for that to be true, he wanted to hope that he will get his answer to this mystery and that all will be alright after that but there was a feeling of doubt and fier deep inside him that he could not let go.

They were interrupted by a little girl coming to them. It was the faunus girl from the truck.

"Excuse me, but can I ask you a question?"

"Sure." Red responded.

"Are you two huntsman?" The duo simply looked at each other. They bought knew that they weren't but they also knew how scared these people must be right now, so Red decided not to scare this little girl any more.

"Yes, yes we are."

"I knew it!" the little girl shouted with excitement.

"Huntsman protect people right?"

"Yes we do."

"Will you protect me and my mommy?"

Cassie knelt beside the little girl and spoke."No harm will come to you or your mother or anyone inside that truck. You can trust me, you can trust us." The little founus girl looked at the man with the scary mask.

"You will be safe I swear." said Red. The girl ran and hugged Red leg and thanked him.

"There you are Masha, I was worried sick. You know that I don't like when you run off like that. I hope she wasnt any trouble."

"Don't worry, she wasn't."

"Come on Masha lets go back inside."

Red looked at the mother and daughter, he did not feel any hate of anger this time. After some time Odessa joined the duo and the three stared to chat and soon Travis and Alexander came back to pick them up and take them all to safety.
