Chapter Text
The forest was eerily quiet. Wind gusted and leaves filtered across the path Ruby now stood on. She stilled and waited watching the shadows of the bushes carefully….
She blinked and suddenly the road became full of snarling beowulfs and she smirked under her hood. Her favorite.
She readied her scythe and she was off like a shot the first section of Grimm not knowing what happened. She was halfway through the left section before the beasts of emotion came to realize they were under attack. She felt a thrill as she dodged their swipes and gaping jaws, idly she wished her team was here to enjoy the moment…
Elsewhere in the trees stood two men who talked between themselves.
"ah that's the one"
"you sure that the one?"
"duh. Or is there another Huntress you know with a red cloak, silver eyes and a GIANT SCYTHE?" the other snapped.
"ok. Ok. Yeesh." he grumbled
"let's just get going" the other grouched and they descended to the ground.
Ruby was having a pretty good time. In fact, she may even get done in record time and be home to give her little sunshine a kiss goodnight. She wished she had a counter to see if she beat her PR on beowolves. Weiss would have---she squashed the thought as soon as it came up and frowned decapitation another beast.
"HELP!" someone called and she slipped on the leaves wide eyed as a lone man jumped in front of her mid swing. She panicked and hit the brakes jarring herself to a stop.
"HUNTRESS HELP ME!"
"stay calm! Please get behind me!" but to her dismay the man in his panic ran towards the beowulves. "oh what the--" she sped forward and blocked claws aimed for his head the impact taking some of her aura. She gritted her teeth and focused, fighting with a civilian in mind changed the situation. His fear would only increase their numbers, it'd be best to get him away from the area. Rolled out from the claws and on her spin she swung her scythe out cutting the beowulfs in the middle and it disintegrated. She took a breath and switched to a rifle taking quick clean shots at the remaining pack on the other side. Slowly the herd began to disappear and she gave a sigh but knew more would come soon.
"We need to---" she cut off her voice strangled as she felt something connect to her back sending electricity through her body. "what…" she gurgled as her muscles relaxed and her tonge and jaw failed her, she collapsed unable to move. The last thing she saw were two silhouettes above her.
