Risen (Book One) {A RWBY Fanfic}

"Everyone wants to be a hero, so I'll be the one who fights them."

Neopolitan loved to sing, to talk, to shout, but she didn't. She couldn't. Her voice had been taken away from her, and she would never get it back.

All her life she knew she would be a criminal, somebody hunted down by the law. She had always been okay with it, especially when she befriended Roman Torchwick and Cinder Fall. They were the ones who accepted her, who knew how she felt. They gave her something to work towards to, something big, and in return, she swore to remain forever loyal.

But when she meets Lie Ren, lost in the woods, abandoned by his teammates, she is forced to question who's side she really is on. It doesn't help that she and Ren quickly befriend one another, or that Cinder suddenly began to pamper her like a queen. But... surely a decision wouldn't be that hard.

Then again, little Ruby Rose had killed the love of Neo's life.
