my life with wolf grimm(garr 44.,lunarsilver)

Chapter 1: meeting between human and grimm

Weekends at Beacon Academy were almost always blessings for its students. Among the reasons, the biggest two had to be the simple facts that classes weren't held, and that students had more time to do whatever they wished. Most students spent this time in Vale City. Others, such as the leader of team RWBY, would head into either Forever Fall or the Emerald Forest to hunt Grimm or to simply spend time with nature. Speaking of team RWBY, their leader Ruby Rose decided to spend the early Sunday afternoon in the Emerald Forest and hunt for some Grimm. She stayed within the regions closer to the academy in order to avoid the older, stronger Grimm species. Despite her precautions, Ruby somehow managed to get twisted around the tree-filled maze, and now had to try and figure out how to get back to the academy, and fast.

  "Didn't I already pass these rocks... or that particular tree... AAARRRGH!" Ruby Rose shouted. She had come out to the Emerald Forest to hunt some Grimm- Beowolves and maybe some Ursas- when she had lost her way through the forest. Despite everyone warning her to pay attention to her surroundings, or at least carry or download a map, she never thought about doing either one. On these hunts another member of team RWBY, usually Yang or Weiss, would usually tag along. Ruby would admit she probably depended a little too much on her teammate to remember the way back to Beacon, but she thought this time she could do it alone. Ice Queen was studying in the library, Blake was either locked in the dorm room or some older and less-used part of Beacon with her "hidden" stash of novels of... questionable material (Yang ended up getting wind of where her faunus partner kept the books, and decided to nab a couple for herself). The blonde brawler in question went out to Vale City to spend some time in the early clubs, or to the malls and shops to browse clothing or Dust.

  Team JNPR, RWBY's unofficial "sister team" was also unavailable, not that Ruby felt like asking any of them to accompany her. The one she would've brought with her, Jaune Arc, was spending the afternoon on a date with his partner and girlfriend Pyrrah Nikos, and she didn't want them to reschedule. Nora had dragged Ren off to a meeting off Beacon's Pancake Club, so the two of them weren't available either. (The Pancake Club was simply where Nora had Ren use up all of Beacon's pancake mix, ingredients for pancake mix, and maple syrup stocks, and timed how long it took to eat them. 7.01 seconds was her current record) 

   Back to the now red-faced and steaming scythe-wielder, she decided to try walking towards what she thought was west. Ruby didn't want to call Blake, and especially not Weiss, until she had no other choice. She really did not want another scolding from Weiss Cream about, "wasting her time preparing for tests when the only person you had to blame was yourself, blah blah blah."  So, on the Red Reaper went.

(Small Timeskip)

  Ruby was stomping through a more-covered part of the forest and ten seconds from interrupting Blake from her "Special Time" when she began to hear growls from the bushes and foliage around her. She was barely able to dodge a swipe from a large Beowolf's paw when she turned to face some rustling behind her. She got back on her feet and spun around to face the nine Beowolves now coming out of hiding. Glowing red-and-orange eyes faced the girl who was now backed up against three densely-packed trees preventing her from backing up any further. Ruby, now feeling the bark blocking her path, immediately pulled out the metal box concealed under her cape and activated the mechanics in it.  This caused the box to form into a red-and-black scythe with a large blade; Ruby's signature weapon Crescent Rose. 

  Ruby grabbed Crescent Rose and got into a defensive stance, ready to use her Semblance to charge through the pack and slice at least a couple of them into pieces. But, before Ruby could even begin to pull Crescent Rose back, she heard a howl. Not a Beowolf howl. This one was deeper and much louder than the others. The other Beowolves, to Ruby's great surprise, began to back up slightly and look around for the source. The source jumped from the treeline and landed between Ruby and the Beowolf pack.

  An Alpha Beowolf. Larger, armored, and more aggressive than younger Beowolves, it was a force younger hunters-in-training were taught to be reckoned with. Compared to younger ones, Alphas could put up an intense, albeit short, fight with older Hunters, and had the strength to rip smaller pieces of Atlesian military hardware to shreds. It was bad news, and here was one 8 feet from Ruby. The elder Beowolf turned towards Ruby, and sniffed the air in her direction a couple times.

  To Ruby's shock and surprise, the Alpha quickly turned back to the Beowolves and adopted a defensive stance; it seemed to want Ruby for itself. Facing the nine competitors, the Alpha aggressively leaned forward, and opened its maw in an ear-shattering roar. Ruby dropped Crescent Rose, and slammed her hands over her ears in an attempt to avoid going deaf. After nearly a minute of roaring, the Alpha leaned back, and even sidestepped a couple times closer to Ruby. Six of the nine Beowolves scampered off into the trees, but three of them stayed, though they did back up. One particular brave or stupid Beowolf charged at the bigger one, only to be sent through a tree by the elder's giant paw.

  The Alpha itself decided now was the time to attack, so it did. It ran and grabbed one of the still-standing Beowolves and threw it at the other one. The one thrown earlier managed to get back up, and charged yet again at the older Grimm, which was now in a grapple with the Beowolf that dodged its flying pack-mate. The Alpha shoved the holding one's bone mask-covered face into the ground with its left paw, and swiped with the free right paw. It connected with  the charger's face, and sent it into more trees. Unfortunately, the one used as a throwing star managed to sneak up on the Alpha, and bit straight down onto the back of its calf. The Alpha briefly howled in pain, and quickly turned around and grabbed the attacker by the neck with its jaws.

  It ran/dragged the younger Grimm straight to a boulder, and rammed its head into it. Now dazed, the Beowolf could only whimper before the Alpha clenched its mouth even harder on the Beowolf's neck, crushing it. It dropped the corpse, and turned back to the two survivors. The one who met the ground had a cracked mask that was smoking (the Grimms' way equivalent of bleeding), while the one who was swiped had four long, deep gashes that was also smoking heavily. Gash Face snarled at the Alpha, then turned and snarled at Ruby.

  It quickly regretted this as the Alpha lunged  towards it with its claws out, intent on giving the Beowolf more scars. Gash Face and Cracked avoided the pissed-off animal, and took of together into the forest to find the rest of the pack.

  Once the Alpha was sure they weren't immediately coming back, it turned back toward Ruby. Her eyes were wide as saucers, and had both hands covering her mouth. This was more out of surprise or shock than disgust, as she just saw a fight among Beowolves. Beowolves, and Grimm in general, were never known to fight each other. At the most they'd sometimes challenge for leader of a group or pack, but those were never physical. Ruby was so distracted that she didn't notice the Alpha was slowly moving closer until it was only about five or six inches from her face.

  With Crescent Rose on the ground, her back to the trees, and her inevitable death less than a foot away, Ruby was too paralyzed to do anything, although she managed to work up enough courage to ask one question: "W-w-w-why did y-you.. protect m-me?" She knew it was a pointless question, as the language barrier prevented any form of communication between the two, but she asked it anyway. Her breath hitched when the Alpha leaned in ever so closer, and began to sniff her. Despite her situation, she blushed when the Grimm began to sniff her chest and the rest of her torso. It brought its head back up to face Ruby eye to eye, but Ruby turned her head to her left and  prepared to get mauled.

  Her clenched eyes opened up when she felt something wet slowly run up from her jawline to beside her eye. She saw that that the "something" was the Alpha's pink tongue; it was licking her face. Why? Is it getting a taste of its next meal? Did it want to see whether I'm good enough to bother eating after I'm dead? Ruby thought.

  Much to her confusion, the Alpha didn't raise a clawed paw to slash her torso, nor did it clamp its jaws around her neck like it did to the now-dissipated Beowolf. Instead, it finished licking her face, turned around, and began to walk away. It paused to look over its shoulder back at Ruby, then continued on its way. Ruby kept watch as the Alpha walked into the trees, and kept watching until the rustling of bushes and branches were no longer audible. 

She snapped out of her daze, pulled out her scroll, went into her contacts, and mashed the screen with her right index finger on the first name she saw.
