Salem couldn't fight the gods alone, so she needed allies. She got one, who stuck by her through thick and thin. This is my first story, please don't crucify me. It is not an xreader, or an xOC. It takes place after the Fall of Beacon. I do not own RWBY, that honor belongs to Rooster Teeth. I own no art, unless stated otherwise.

After team RWBY graduated​ from Beacon Ruby disappeared without a trace. Blake and Yang still looks for her when they can. But Weiss left and took over the Schnee Dust Company shortly after her father's death. She tries to forget about Ruby, and the feelings​ she still has for the younger girl, but how can she? Ruby changed her life. She was a bright, slightly annoying, light that shone through the darkness that Weiss had surrounded herself with. Even after all these years she's still in love with the young leader, Ruby Rose. Ruby was alone. But that's what she wanted. that way she can't hurt anyone. Not Yang, not Blake, and especially not Weiss. Without her they were safe. *disclaimer* I do not own RWBY or it's characters all credit goes to Rooster Teeth. I also don't own the art used all credit goes to the creator I just find it on the internet.

With their leader murdered, Team RWBY disbands and go their seperate ways, but ultimately are drawn back together as a rogue huntsman roams Vale as she targets her only sister. Revision in progress to make this more readable and match some of the source material's canon. Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or any of it's characters. RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. Rest in Peace Monty. Co-author: @lord0fwar
