Rose petals thus scatter p1

In the forest one night all that could be heard was the sound of a lone house burning and the cries of one lone little girl clad in red crying as she ran as fast as she could away from her home and the family what was likely gone as well. Her home made of wood was burning ablaze with nothing but ash and the bone of her family was all that was likely to be left when the fire finished engulfing what was there. The young girl clad in red ran, she ran as fast as she could and even faster as rose petals materialized behind her.

Screaming "Mommy, Daddy, Sister!" all through out the woods that surrounded her home. She ran only because her mother told her too and to never look back. So the girl clad in red ran and ran until she could run no more collapsing in a random park of the town of patch. There she slept in one of the tunnels, alone and cold no home to return to or run to. Morning came and the little girl was waking up with tear stained cheeks. Remembering that she was alone now the little girl curled into a ball and cried a little more. After the morning sun shown a bit more the little girl needed to get some thing to eat.

On the streets the little girl was looking for anything in the way of food she checked her pockets to find some small change of lien. Barely enough to afford anything but maybe an apple or some small fruit. A small bit of luck the little girl found an apple stall and was able to purchase an apple with what little money she had. Now with no lien and a half eaten apple the little girl arrived back at her temporary dwelling. Going through all of the things of what she could do to no longer be alone. She arrived to the conclusion to look for her uncle in Vale.

Her only problem now was to find a way to Vale with no money or vehicle to get there she was completely stuck. That was until she heard the horn of a ship. Hearing the horn a thought occurred that possibly she could sneak a ride to vale by boat or ship. Making her way to the docks of Patch the little girl was looking to find any indication that a ship was headed to Vale. Looking around the girl saw what looked like a large snowflake on a ship. Remembering that the people who use the symbol often go to Vale. The girl looked for a way on board finding her way on board she quickly and quietly made her way to the holding area of the ship finding a view port she could reach the girl found a quite corner to slumber in and dream of happier times with her family.

Sleeping without a bed is not pleasant, sleeping on a ship without a bed less so. Waking up to the sound of the ships horn was not enjoyable similar to being woken up to her sisters whistle. Recalling the memory the girl drew herself in and grew quite for a little bit. Hearing the ship's horn go once more the girl looked through the view port to find a city and many tall buildings as well a sign that read Vale port.

After making her way though through the ship and off of it the girl was lost once more. Trying desperately to retrace her way to her uncles home the girl continued to grow lost and alone with every turn she took. coming upon a group of three that showed their anger and hate at everything and everyone. The little girl tried to not aggravate them but closing the distance with the three they turned to her and with their hate of others they beat her.

The little girl was left there alone, cold, and broken eyes left dead and a dull silver. There she was left wondering why were they so cruel why had they hurt her.

/ One Month Later /

"Very well Roman continue stealing dust and your control over the area we'll meet later should the need arise." said the woman as she exited the car.

"Of coarse, Cinder so long as I see some profit from this business venture we have. Spoke Roman as Cinder closed the car door.

Out of the car Cinder looked around starting to walk to a nearby cafe to refresh herself after having to deal with Roman. Nearing the cafe Cinder saw a peculiar sight it was the sight of a little girl clad in red bumping into an older person that was getting up from his table. To others this would look like nothing much but to Cinder she saw that the little girl was pick pocketing the old man. Continuing to watch the scene play out the little girl after passing the old man vanished in a flurry of rose petals. To common eyes nobody knew a thing to Cinder she saw it all and was calmly walking to the ally where the little girl moved to.

Looking in the ally the little girl was panting at the use of her semblance but was also looking through the wallet she stole a moment ago. Seeing talent and skill Cinder approached the little girl. The little girl looked up to see a woman dressed in a work outfit.

"Hello little one." Spoke Cinder.

"Hello" Said the little girl.

"Would you like to not have to steal?" asked Cinder.

"Yes, but what do you want?" Asked the little girl.

"Clever girl, I want to help a child as gifted as your self." explained Cinder

"Gifted?" asked the little girl in disbelief.

"Yes child, you are gifted, do you want to have a better life?" Asked Cinder

"Yes" Said the child.

"Very well I am Cinder Fall" introduced Cinder as she extended her hand to the little girl.

"Ruby Rose" introduced Ruby as she took Cinder's hand.
