A Black Thorned Rose, Rerun

Prologue: When I am gone

-( Raiden's PoV )-

The school day has ended, the sun was setting, it was slowly getting dark as I walk my way home through the forest, it used to be scary before, but after that day, I learned there are more monsters than the Grimm

FLASHBACK START, two years ago

My mother has been missing for two years and my step-mother hardly cared for me and my twin sister Ruby, our dad barely pays any attention to the both of us and we've never met our uncle Qrow. I was in my shared room where I was busy drawing a hand cannon weapon design, but then I was interrupted by Ruby who bursted through the door looking excited

Raiden: You're looking quite happy sis, did something happened?

Ruby took out an old photograph of our parents and our Qrow during their students years in Beacon academy, it was strange how they were all in the same team, but I didn't other questioning it

Ruby: I have a picture of mom!

Raiden: Which means....?

Ruby: We can go out and find her ourselves!

My eyes widen at that, it didn't sound like a bad idea but even then, where would we start to look for mom, we don't even know where she was last seen at

Raiden: No offense sis, but I don't know if that's a good idea

Ruby: Well I am going out right now, with or without you

Hearing those words come out of Ruby's mouth made me feel uneasy, I can't leave her alone, she is my sister

Raiden:*sighs* Alright then, I'll be going with you

Ruby:*runs towards me and hugs me tight* Yay! Thank you brother!

I smiled as knocking was heard at the door, I walked up and gently opened the door to see big sister Yang with a smile on her face

Yang: Hey you two, mom finished making dinner so both of you should head down now

Yang then left the room as Ruby looked at me with a smile, I sighed as I had to look out for Ruby's recklessness, we were able to sneak out quietly through the window as we ventured out into the forest, it's only been a couple of steps out of the house as I already felt uneasy

Raiden: Sis.... we should head back

I asked Ruby but she seemed to have ignored my comment, I sighed once more until I heard growling beside me, I turned to look and saw a beowolf as it immediately pounces at me but I was able to evade the pounce by tumbling forward hitting Ruby's legs causing her to trip, soon both of us would slowly get up from the beowolf's attaxk

Ruby: Ouchie!

Raiden: Sis! Are you alright?

Ruby: I'm fine.... what ha- AAAAHHHH!

Ruby screamed as she tackles me down to avoid being pounced on again by the beowolf, we turned to look at it as it turned to look at us and growled, soon Ruby and I would bolt away as the grimm chased us through the forest

Ruby: You were right brother! We should've stayed at home! I'm sorry for this mess!

Raiden: Its okay sis, just keep running

Ruby and I kept on running but suddenly Ruby would end up tripping from a rock, and hit her forehead at a nearby tree

Raiden:*worried* RUBY!!
