RWBY: WHITEROSE [God of War AU]

- Chapter 1-

FINN POV:

The cold breeze passes the leaves and touches her check. Finn know that she's very cold tolerant. However, it seems this winter is colder than ever, that maybe what Finn would like to think. She feels something change after…

WHACK! WHACK!

BOOM!

A tall tree drops down behind her. A red cloak figure wielding a big sword stood there, her mother no "one of her mothers." Finn rephrases in her mind.

"Girl, have you finish yet?" the red cloak asked.

"Just a sec mother." Finn hurry scramble her dry flower. It might not look beautiful, but this is during winter season, finding just flower is hard enough. She followed her mother who is dragging the tree to their boat. After helping her tie up the trunk and putting the flower in the basket. Finn jump in the boat and wait for her mother to untie the knot.

"Hmm…you pick a Lilly for her?" the voice was hard to read. Finn not sure what she should said.

"I think she liked it, I don't know…I mean…." Before Finn couldn't finish the sentence.

"I think she will like it too." Ruby gave her a sad smile.

The Red cloak untied the boat and ready to push off. The canal was cold. The forest was covered in snow and everywhere is all white. Finn live her whole life yet somehow, she feels something is different. It's not the cold she knows that this place always cold, but the atmosphere is changing, and she can't pinpoint what it is? Maybe because her home is change that why she feels different. They dock the boat and Finn saw her mother drag a large tree trunk on to land.

How strong is she? Finn thinks. She knew that both of her parents were capable of many things. Finn always curious what is the limitation of both parents. She knew that her mom has such Glyphs which has amazing variety of ability. Finn saw it many time how Glyphs were used during their hunting. My Glyphs still bad I can only move or stop at most 2 objects at the same time. Her eyes darting at Ruby what's is her Semblance? I never go hunting with her. Mom always told that she was a greatest hunter she has ever known. That sound exaggerated but I did see her kill two wild bears without breaking a sweat. While Finn's thought run wild. They have arrived at their home. Mom usually call it mansion I never know the different like home cabin or mansion. It's just place that people live right? Klein said it was very small but her red cloak, mother said it was too big and hard to clean. Finn walk in the hallway decorated by 3 pillars on each side. A large stair lead to 2th floor of the mansion. The wall was carved with beautiful pattern of snowflake and roses. Finn ascended to upper floor. Her little feet ran to and stop at the mastered room. She entered.

A large room with bookshelf, knight statues and an emblem. The emblem was a half snowflake and half roses. Finn opened the curtain.

A gorgeous woman with long white hair. Her skin was delicate and fair. A red line cut through on the left eye was highlighted by her white skin. She was covered with blanket with light grey-blueish color. Finn placed the flower on the body.

"I hope that you like these flowers…if you don't, you can't really…"

Finn put the flower in Sleeper's hand.

"…I think this winter is very cold. I know it's always cold, but I think this is the coldest I ever feel... I…miss you…"

The tears stream down her check

"…Please come back to us…I miss you so much…I know that I have mother and Klein but...I feel so lonely without you."

Finn feel the hand on her shoulder. An old man in suit with bald head and funny mustache. His yellow eyes warm her heart.

"Please don't cry. Young mistress. Your mom would like it. She wouldn't want you to make cry."

Klein hand her a mug of hot chocolate. Finn refuse it, she is still crying

"This hot chocolate usually cheers her up too and I know that you two enjoy think drink together." He still smiling "I know it's hard for you right now but you're a Schnee a Rose-Schnee. You must be strong."

Finn wiped her tears "I know, Klein...I know…but..she isn't my mom" she is trying her best to smile.

Klein look at her with sad eye. Don't said that your mother will be heartbroken if she heard that. Finn think that what Klein want to say. I don't think she had a heart or even a soul. It's ironic that mom use to tell her that red cloak was fun and delight person, but she is cold more than her mom who name literally mean snow. Finn take a mug from Klein.

"Thank you, Klein." She smiles.

The door opened. Ruby walked in and looked at both. Her blue eyes are Stop at Finn.

"Ready?" She said.

Finn trying wipe all tears, she can't look weak if she wants to go on the journey. She nodded to her mother. Klein look and young girl and then at his mistress.

"Yes, Ruby."

Ruby slowly carried the body. She was so careful like the body was made of out glass. Finn notice that she never thinks her mother can do any that delicate. They descended to underground of the mansion. A giant metal vault door with complex lock door. Klein took about 10 minutes to open this. He forgot which key is for which lock. Finn tried to help him, but she doesn't really remember it too. Finally, they got it open. The vault not big. Finn think that the wall must be very thick to take up all the place. She'll be safe when we gone, Finn hope. The room was full ice dust that was craft in the wall and at the end of the vault was a glass coffin. The glass was craft by her mom. She always loves to craft. Finn remember when she tried to sculpt the glass and fail mystery. She was trying to make a gift for mom's birthday. Klein opened the coffin. Ruby put the body and stood silently. Finn look at her mom and then to Ruby and to her mom again.

"…Are we going to be gone for long?" She asked, her voice was shaking.

Finn was never close to Ruby. They barely spent time together. The feeling is more like stranger than mother-daughter. Klein is still more close than her and her mother.
"She'll be safe." Klein tried to assure Finn.

Finn downed her head. She didn't want to leave her mom for long time. Her loneliness was already overwhelming.

Ruby was quiet for a minute before turned and crouched to level her eye with her daughter.

"You mom taught you how to hunt right?" Finn nodded in respond.

"Show me"
