Fall.
It was the season where trees cried peacefully as their tears made a beautiful orange shaded rain with it's leaves. Where the wind would be sort of cold, but not to the point where you couldn't feel anything. It was mostly to the point where it felt pleasant. Fall was where people would just hang out with one another and hold each other close as they wait for Winter to roll around and take them away. All around, it was one of the most peaceful seasons of the year.
It was a season that Pyrrha just truly adored.
She loved the different shades of dark red colors that surrounded her every time she went outside for a walk. She loved the sound of birds chirping as some started to fly south to shelter. Some maybe for their family. It was a nice sight to see in her eyes. To just watch them fly off to be reunited with love ones. But not as lovely as the one she cared about so dearly.
Ruby Rose.
A redhead huntress in training that would always stick onto the older girl as if she was a magnet. The one that would drop anything to just be with her. The teen's bundle of joy, if she was to describe her. What was it that was so intriguing about her? Well, for starters, she loved that the young girl loved her for herself and not for just being a celebrity. She loved how she would always care for her everyday and every night. And she really loved how she made it feel like every second counted when they were together. In her eyes, maybe she was the reason why she tried so hard in all her classes.
If she was to think about it, she probably wouldn't be doing so good with making many friends if it wasn't for her. She probably wouldn't do so hot in class if it wasn't for her. Maybe, in a way, she was her cure to all of her problems. She honestly couldn't know though. She was so starstruck with the young leader.
And Ruby could say the same about Pyrrha.
The young prodigy was somewhat of a role model for the redhead. Maybe even a caretaker in a way. But she could only say that because at some times, she would honestly be mistaken to be Ruby's mom other then a girlfriend. And that was only because she would treat her like a kid. When she was hurt, Pyrrha would quickly come to her aid. When she forgot something, she would get it for her in a nick of time. If she was to cry, the young woman would cry with her or see what was wrong.
All of this should've been annoying to her, but for some odd reason, she really didn't care. She just let her do her own thing. Why? Because it just went to show how much she loved her. And how much they cared about one another. They were their everything. And that could easily be relevant to all of the students, who also loved their chemistry.
Pyrrha loved Ruby almost to death. Ruby loved Pyrrha more then life itself. Their love for one another was strong and everyone just knew that they would stay in one another's arms for a very long time.
That was. Until she caused the peace to fall. For their worlds to shatter.
She caused the kids to go to war that one night. She caused everyone to go and fight to the death. She caused them all to lose their lives. Most of them for that fact. And because of that. She broke their relationship as well. And it would've never broke.
If she had never went up that tower.
Everything was in chaos. Everything was destroyed and broken from Pyrrha's eyes. From the school she was standing on. From the eyes she stared hard into. Those amber eyes. Ones of pure evil and sickness. Ones that had death written all over it. Who owned those eyes? The creator of all this destruction. The cause of her problems this entire school year. The cause of the fall of Beacon.
She hated her to the core. But she hated nothing more then her voice. Her voice was supposed to be the so called voice of courage. Determination. Heroism. But instead, her own plan backfired on her. She was going to lose. Yet she didn't care. And that alone made Pyrrha upset. Her words were so hurtful. So. Disgusting. But that didn't scare her.
What did scare her were the words she was given by Ozpin. Ones about fate. Ones about destiny.
Destiny.
Pyrrha used to know what exactly destiny was. That was until all of this happened. The maiden powers. The fate she had. Was this really destiny? Could she really believe it? Even after all she's been through, she still couldn't wonder if she believed in destiny truly or not. And that hurt her so much. But nit because of her role. No. It was because she always thought her destiny was to be with Ruby Rose. What if...
What if that destiny was all a lie?...
She needed to know. And she needed to know now.
So in the face of death, she looked up to her enemy. The villain in disguise. And chose her words closely to ask one simple question. One that would answer all of her questions in life. One that would hugely change her outcome of life...
"Do you believe in destiny?"
What was her life changing answer? One she always knew she would get. A cold and saddened,
"Yes."
Finally, after that, she waited as the raven haired woman formed a bow and arrow to the red haired girl's head. The arrow that would kill her. The arrow that would end all of this. The arrow that was launched until Pyrrha's beloved came right on top of the tower in mere seconds just to watch in horror.
The arrow...
That killed Ruby Rose that night...
Pyrrha remembered that moment as if it was yesterday. She remembered her gagging for breath until she fell on her back onto the floor in front of her girlfriend. Letting the blood paint her beloved cape a darker red. Emerald eyes watched as the young girl slowly lost her breath in front of them. Ones that caught every single moment. The owner of these eyes just ceased to function. She just couldn't help but cry about what had just happened. She just couldn't help but hold her love close for dear life.
She tried to savor the moments they had, but she didn't know it would be gone so soon. If only she was a bird. She could've just flew away from all of this with the redhead. They both could've just flew back home together. Away from this evil place. But no. It was too late for that. And it was too late for her. Pyrrha repeated that she loved her so much. But that didn't help her come back any time soon. And with those words. Those tears. Ruby just couldn't help but smile one last time at the red haired girl and whisper into her ear for the very last time the one phrase she loved so dear with one last breath,
"I love you, Pyrrha."
Finally,
Her heart stopped.
She was gone
