Eye for an Eye

Ruby left the store with a big smile on her face. “Thank you for your time sir!”

The shopkeeper smiled as well. “Any time again!”

The door shut behind her and Ruby giggled. The weaponstores here in Mistral were all so cool! They had a halberd, whose shaft could be halved and turned into a double barreled shotgun, a shield whose edge was made out of blades, which could be used for throwing or slashing, and the edge was detachable to form a blade-whip. She shivered in joy and almost turned around. But – since she spent almost two hours in that shop – she decided to move on and see more of this place.

The alley she walked was made of little shacks and houses, all shops of different kinds, dust, hand-knit clothes, foreign foods whose smells she didn’t even recognize – but she definitely needed to try some of those! – and lots of people in fashionable clothing. Wide robes, pretty dresses, sandals and foreign looking hairstyles. They were so different, but yet a lot more friendly than she expected, even after uncle Qrow told her about Mistral.

Even though she wouldn’t be so naïve to forget the other part he told her about, she thought, as she passed a small, dark alley between two shops, where scraps of rotten wood and bags of garbage lied around, accompanied as to be expected: Four and two legged rats, scudding around each other, waiting for the leftovers of better beings.

She turned away and kept going along the alley, light by lampions in a vast amount of different colors, shaded by the shadows of shop signs and the pure, bright light that floated through the milk glass of the shops and bars, all overflooded by the moonlight.

She looked up at the bright moon, peace in mind, until she suddenly realized how much the moon already had risen. “Dammit! Jaune!” she suddenly shouted, grabbed her scroll and opened it. Two missed calls, one sound message. She started running as she turned on the message.

“Ruby, where are you?!” asked Jaunes distressed voice out of her scroll. “We are supposed to meet up with these – you know who – guys in less than half an hour!”

“I knooow…” Ruby cried.

“Wherever you are, hurry!” A clicking voice ended the message.

Tyrian watched the girl in the red hood, squatting at the top of a roof, as she turned her head and looked up in the sky. The shine of silver eyes, reflecting the moonlight made him giggle. “Gotcha.” As the little girl started to run, he followed her over the rooftops into the night, a mad smile on his face.
