Work to do(A Rwby fic)

Lady lucks gift

(Jon's Pov)

I slowly shift in my bed and sit up, looking around my room.

"Shit what time is it."

I check the time and sigh slowly climbing my way out of bed and getting my clothes on, while I did I could hear my father making his way up.

" You up kid?"

"Yeah Pa, just getting my clothes on."

"Well, when you're done make sure to get some bread from the store we just ran out."

"Yes sir."

I finish strapping on my boots and grab my Souleseele and come down the stairs picking up my wallet from a small table next to the door and my backpack just under it.

"I'll be back!"

"You going out to patrol Sweetie?"

"Yeah Ma, Just going out for a little, I'll be back soon."

My Mom came out from where she was sitting in the living room and waltzed up.

"at least give me a hug."

I leaned down and hugged her.

"I won't be gone long, I promise."

I let go and make my way out of the door setting my great sword in its sheath on my back and walk down the path into town listening to the crunch of gravel under my feet that faded as the entrance went from gravel to dirt the shift being what I used to show how close I was to the small town I lived near, I step in the wall and wave at the guards standing post.

"Mornin yall."

"Mornin.

I walk through the streets making my way to the general store and step in.

"Hey Beth."

"Hey Dear, what will it be today?"

"Just some bread, and my usual ammo today."

I picked up some bread from a shelf and Beth grabbed a box of ammo from a small table off to the side and set it down while I pulled out some Lien.

"You have a good one Beth."

I picked up what I bought and make my way out the door and being my trip to the lake where I usually paroled.

"Let's see if I can beat my old record."

as I walked around the forest I noticed a distinct lack of Grimm, usually, there were at least two or three that would charge out to attack me, but it was completely empty today, which gave me an odd feeling of concern as if something bad was about to happen, I just didn't know what, until I came upon an odd sight in the woods.

Jon: White fang?"

I crouched down and slowly crept closer to the two men.

"Why are we going after this place anyway, there's not a bit of dust here."

"I dunno, the higher-ups just said too."

"They didn't give you any other info?"

"Nope."

"Gods this blows, it couldn't even be a cooler town, gotta be a damn backwoods nowhere town"

"Hey, be happy its an easy burn it just mean we get a guaranteed out and easy pay"

This is bad, I gotta tell Pa he should know what to do!

I slowly sulk away from the two men as they chat, and as soon as I knew I was out of earshot I dash off into the town, weaving through the forest as fast as my legs can carry me reaching the gates and blowing past where the guards should have been past the town then up the path home, and burst through the door.
