Nichole is a new student at Beacon and so are her teammates. On her first day she meets a little red, a cat, a snowflake and a firecracker. She falls in love with some and makes friendships that will last a lifetime with others. But will she be able to keep them safe from the truth about her or will she die taking it down with her?

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
