Ozpin/Oscar X Reader

Tipping Point

"Have you ever thought of loving anyone else?" You ask, resting your head on Oscar's lap, "I-I don't know."
"It's okay if you do, the only thing I want you to promise me is that you don't forget about me."
"No, I won't have anyone else. With you, it feels like no matter what happens, we will stand by together." You smile, "I love you."

Oscar places a hand on your head, his fingers combed through your hair, "I love you too." Oscar takes notice that his hand was pale, he wasn't in his body, but in an another. The surrounding area fades to black.

Oscar opens his eyes, a single tear ran down his left eye, "Another dream."

It is a cloudy day, and RNJR is following a mossy stone tile path through the wilderness. While walking, Nora stretches her arms up wide, "Another day, another adventure!"

Beside her, Jaune Arc reads a map while Ruby Rose and Lie Ren continue alongside them, "What's on the agenda today?"
"Walking!" Jaune replies.
"With a side of...?"
"Walking," Ren adds.

Ruby sighs, "Haven is a lot farther away than I thought."
"Ruby? How long did you think this journey was going to take?" Ren asks as he slightly faces Ruby. "I don't know! I grew up in a small area; I've never been this far away from home!"
"Right, but... how long?" Jaune turns slightly back but not taking his eyes off the map. "Maybe like, uh... two weeks?"

Jaune looks up from the map to glare at her, "What?!"
"Okay, fine! Three or something!" Ruby began to avoid making eye contact, "Look, whatever." Ruby looks up again after a beat and notices something ahead, "Hey, what's that?"

Nora jumps onto a slightly fallen post of a fence to get a closer look at a wall and building ahead. "That's... strange." Jaune began checking his map, "I didn't think we'd be hitting another village for a few days."
"Are those buildings... damaged?"
"We should search for survivors!" Jaune drops the map, and all four go running into the village, with Nora leaping onto the wall and to a rooftop from there. They discover the town to be empty. Ruby lifts a fallen plank of wood to find only plant outgrowth underneath, "Anything?"
"Nothing over here!"
"No one over here, either!"
"It almost seems like... the town was abandoned."

Ruby looks around while the others go offscreen, feeling unease in the wind. "Hey, I think I found something!"

Ruby turns and rushes over. Nora, Jaune, and Ren are looking at a town sign. Nora moves the ivy growing over it to the side to read what it says. "Oniyuri? Never heard of it."
"Me neither."

"I have." Ren confessed the other three look at him, surprise on Nora and Ruby's faces.
"You might think of it as Anima's Mountain Glenn, had it never been completed. Years ago, the richest members of Mistral were unhappy with how the Kingdom was being run. Frustrated with the council, they pooled their resources together to build their own city, with their own laws. They hoped that one day, it could maybe even become its own Kingdom. Many thought it would be the future."

Ren walks away from the other three. "I know my parents did."
"What happened?" Ruby asks nervously.

He brushes some dirt off of the stone border of a low wall to reveal claw marks. "What always happens."
"The Grimm."

Ren tightens his hands into fists. "Not just any, one."

Ruby briefly faces Nora in confusion, but Nora doesn't move her concerned gaze away from Ren. Ruby turns back to him. "One?"
"Come on. Let's just get through here. This place gives me the creeps."

He turns and leaves, soon followed by Nora. Ren lingers for a moment for a few moments, seemingly in thought, then follows. Ruby is the last to move as she looks over the empty village. Leaves blow through behind her after she follows her friends.
