The name of this Creature was Umbra, he was a Beowulf that is covered in bone armor, a creature able to sense only negative emotions, from what the humans could collect. But really Umbra was no ordinary Grimm, he was know as a Elder Grimm, a creature that lived for so many years and seen many battles. Umbra, was a very intelligent Grimm, he knew a lot about his own kind, including other species of Grimm. Umrba was a fierce fighter, able to take on two teams of Huntsmen and come out on top. He was the Queens prized Grimm. Umbra was not a strong as a Dragon Grimm, but he was close to one. Unknow to the queen is, Umbra hated his own kind, he found these human very interesting and grew disgust at the sight of his own kind killing so many humans, even the new borns that humans called children. Umbra watched many Huntsmen fall to the Grimm and the pain in his chest as he heard the pained cry as the huntsmen or Child gets ripped apart. Umbra couldn't even stand it anymore, and when he saw a women with a white cloak about to be taken by a group of Beowulfs, he snapped at the state the women was in aswell as her emotions that surrounded her.

She had huge gashes all over her body, her clothes were in shreds and a pool of blood was starting to form under the women. She had pale skin with black hair that had a bit of dark red at the end. Her sliver eye's were covered in tears as her back was pressed against a tree. Umbra felt her emotions and this was pushing his limit towards going rogue and saving this women. He growled as the pack got closer to the women.

Umbra felt, saddness, fear, and worry. These emotions always cause the old Grimm to stumble. He maybe be powerful, but he never once killed a human, he would only knock them out and drag them to a safe place before leaving. And Beowulf travels in packs, Umbra doesn't, he prefered to travel alone ever since he watched his own pack kill so many humans and what the humans call Fanuns. Umbra knew he was different, but what made him so special? He had no clue, but after traveling alone for so long he has grown distant to the Grimm, never wanting to be near any of them until one day he stumbled apoun a pack and he didn't think much of it until he heard a cry of pain which stop him in his tracks.

Umbra looked at the bleeding Huntress and watched as the alpha got closer to the downed human. Umbra growled as he felt his connection with the queen fade away as he got closer to the pack he quickly lunge at the closest Beowulf and the the connection dissapeared without a trace. Umbra stop for a second as he for once felt free like he had nothing holding him back along with the weight on his back disappearing. Umbra looked at the pack of Beowulfs after ripping the first ones throat out. Some looked at him while others were keeping an eye on their Alpha and Huntress. Umbra growled and charged forward.

The women winced as another sharp pain went up her body. She looked at her weapons which was far away from her person. A white pole with red curved blades at both ends of the pole facing the opposite direction of eachother. The women looked at her attackers to see the Alpha getting closer, it growled at her before it pounced at the wounded female. The womens life flashed before her eye's.

Her going to beacon and being put into a team and made team leader, later being married and having a healthy girl she named Ruby who now has a big sister who was called Yang before finally her vision returned to normal and the Grimm flew at her a full speed. The women tensed and closed her eye's and waited for death's embrace. After a few seconds the women opened her eye's only to gawk at the sight in front of her. A beowulf with has more armor then the alpha but was slightly smaller, has killed the pack and the Alpha. The women watched as the Grimm looked around before locking eye's with her. Summer then notice the silver glowing orbs the Grimm had. It wasn't the bright red she is used to see from Grimm, but a soft grey almost like silver.

The Grimm walked up to the women and sat down on it's hunches. The women and Grimm stared at eachother for a while before the women hissed as a spark of pain reminded her of her current condition. Umbra quickly walked up to the women and nudged her leg with his snout. The women opened her eye's and saw the Grimm looking at her. She was slowly getting her arua back but it was still a slow process. Umbra looked at the women's leg and saw many cuts and gashes cover her leg. He knew cuts can get infected if not treated so he had to find a way to clean them. So Umbra leaned towards her blood covered legs making the women tense and start to worry. The Grimm quickly rub his head against her leg getting some of her blood on his fur, telling her she will be fine. The women relaxed a bit as Umbra started to clean her wounds with his rough tounge. Umbra shivered at the taste, it was really good almost like a fresh kill from a wild animal he found around the forest, but Umbra snapped out of it and cleaned the rest of the womens wounds making the huntress shiver and sometimes stiffle a laugh as he licked her stomach or another certain part of her body. Umbra step back to see all of the womens wounds were clean but her clothes were still stained with her blood, and her wounds still needed medical attention. The white cloak she wore was also covered in the girls blood which gave her a weird appearance. The women gave the Grimm a smile in thanks which was really weird cause she has never seen a Grimm kill it's own kind to help a human. The women slowly stood up but was pushed back down by Umbra. The women looked up at the Grimm who shook his head at her. Umbra looked at her then his back. The women nodded slowly still unsure about this. The Grimm happily pulled up the badly hurt huntress and set her on his back. The women readjusted herself on Umbra's back before she looked at the Grimm who looked back at her. The women looked around the area before spotting her weapon along with the Grimm who followed her eye's. The Grimm walked over to the weapon and picked it up with his mouth. The women hesitated but reached forward and pulled the weapon out of the Grimm's mouth. The Grimm didn't do anything as the women checked her weapon and nodded. The Grimm sighed, glad the Women didn't try to kill him.

Umbra looked at the women and felt another presences approaching. Umbra knew who it was and he wasn't dieing today, neither was the Huntress. Umbra quickly dashed off letting the women grip on a piece of his armor for dear life. Umbra ran through the forest, doging a few low branches and making hard turns left, right. Umbra was so focused on running, he didn't feel the huntress grip loosen, but before she let go, Umbra came to a stop after he was satisfied that thing was far away. Umbra looked at the women and quickly regrets it as the women bonks him on the head which kind hurt since he didn't have armor covering his whole head except his face. Umbra growled as the women who stuck her tounge out at him. Umbra shook his head at her and finally decied to take the women home. Umbra looked at the women and she must of caught on, that the Grimm was needing instructions to take her home or to a hospital from what the Grimm heard humans say.

After a few bad calls thanks to the women they both reached a clearing. Umbra knew this place, it was called patch a lovely place with great views. Umbra was knocked out of his daze as the women spoke.

"Thank you for getting me out of the forest, it's weird talking to you, most of your kind are mostly mindless beast that attacks anything that moves, but you attacked them to save me" The women said as she then smiled and pet the Grimm on the head. "Thank you for saving me, I live another day to see my family, and you can call me Summer, Summer Rose" Summer got off the Grimms back and turned around to face Umbra, she hesitates for a second before wrapping her arms around the Grimm's neck.

Umbra froze for a second as he felt his chest fills up with pride, and the emotions of happiness only made this hug more enjoyable... wait he felt Summer's happiness? The confused Grimm didn't notice Summer let go of him and back up. She smiled but winced when another pain sparked. The Grimms ears stood at attention as he snap back to reality and his worry for Summer returned. Umbra got closer to Summer to make sure she is ok. The huntress gave Umbra a reassuring smile and pet him on the head.

"Don't worry I will be fine, now please go before other people see you." Summer turned around and walked away making Umbra's ears flatten against his head. Umbra for once felt sad, he was alone with no one to be with and keep him company now that he went Rogue he had no one. Umbra sat on his hunches and lowered his head before whining like a dog.

Summer looked behind her and her heart clenched at the sight of the Grimm that saved her life, looking down at the floor as his ears flatten against his head and start to whine. Summer turned around her white cloak flapping against the wind. She pulled down her white hood letting her hair flow against the wind.

Umbra looked up and saw Summer looking back at him. She smiled and did a follow Jester. Umbra stood up straight his mood going wild which he showed by tackling Summer to the floor. She yelp and started to laugh as Umbra started to lick her face which reminds her of a familiar baby Corgi that is in the house playing with her daughter. Umbra stop his assault as Summer got up covered in saliva. Summer then realized her pain was gone which confused her. she looked at her wounds and was suprised to see her wounds were all gone, not even a scar was there. Summer had a tiny bit of arua left but not enough to heal her wounds so what healed her? She looked at Umbra who was looking at her now undamaged skin. Umbra stood infront of Summer and an Idea came to her. She wasn't sure if it would work but she had a theory She placed a hand on the Grimms armored chest and started to channel a tiny bit of her Arua. She recoiled as a burst of arua shot through her arm then through her body. Summers arua shined around her body which was a mix of red and white and she was shocked to see arua around the Grimm who had a black and white arua.

Summer stared at the Grimm for a while before said Grimm licked her face. Summer wipe the slober off her face and decided to deal with how a Grimm had arua later. Summer turned around and started walking as the Grimm followed close behind. The walk was only a few minutes and the duo soon reached a cozy wooden house. Summer smiled at the sight while Umbra continued to enjoy the scenery. Summer approached the house and climb up the three wooden step leading to a oak door. Umbra stay behind, knowing he was to heavy for the porch to hold his weight. Umbra looked at the house and gave it a once over. A two story house made out of only wood with a few windows, each window had a different color covers. Red, yellow and red again. The porch which Summer was on had a dark wood bench with a few pots that had roses in them and finally out in the distance was a hill that had a single tree on top with a swing.

Umbra looked at Summer as she opened the door and step inside the cozy house. Umbra heard shuffling inside it sounds like 4 people heading towards the front door, were Summer is.

"Summer!" "Mom!" The voices shouted making Umbra wince at the loud shouting. Umbra decided to look around to see if there was anything interesting around. The Grimm walked around the house and behind the house was a forge looking area, the place was covered in tools, scrap metal and other materials. The old Grimm looked around the forge like a kid in a candy store and pick up a few pieces of metal that was about a big as the doorways Summer went through and started to bend it which took a lot of effort. The metal was durable and sturdy, it seems who ever was here was trying to build a weapon judging from all the tools and Materials. Umbra has seen what the humans call blacksmiths, make weapons for humans to defend themselves. He knew how to disarm the hunters before attacking, but somes use there fist so Umbra had to think quickly to knock out his apponet.

Umbra heard a gasp behind him and turned around only to doge a wide arc from a long sword. Umbra skid back as he looked at who swung at him. It was a man with black hair and red eyes. Black pants with a grey vest, with a black and red cape. The persons weapon was a grey great sword that looked it could possibility turn into another form. Behind the man was a little girl no older then 5. The Grimm blinked as he gazed at the girl. She looked very similar to Summer just smaller. She didn't wear a cloak, only a small red shirt with small black pants, along with a pair of red and black shoes. She was a striking image of Summer. The Grimm tensed when the man pushed the girl behind her.

"Ruby, get your...dad" the man said as he prepared to charge forward. The little girl now know as Ruby, nodded and looked at Umbra before looking at the man.

"Ok Uncle Qrow, please be safe" Ruby said with fear in her voice as she ran back inside. Umbra wasn't looking forward to this. He fought many Hunters and put them into a comma but this one was going to be a challenge he can feel it and he was part of Summer's family. Umbra growled as the man took a step forward before dashing ahead. Before Umbra could even blink a body stood infront of him as a white cloak blocked his vision.

"Summer! What are you doing, I nearly killed you" qrow said with shock in his voice. Umbra looked at his saviour to see Summer in front of him with her arms spread out.

"You will not harm the Grimm that saved my life" Summer said with a firm voice as Umbra peaked pass Summer to see four people instead of Qrow. There was Ruby and two others that had blond hair. Qrow took a step back in shock at what summer said as he looked at the Grimm that was peaking his head over Summer's shoulder.

"Summer, are you hearing yourself, a Grimm, a mindless beast, saved you, from what?!" Qrow Shouted as Summer kept a stoic face.

"He saved me from his own kind" Summer said with a mean voice. She turned to look at the Grimm and smiled making Umbra's heart melt. She looked back over to the other to see Ruby hiding behind the man with blond hair and another girl that was older hiding behind the man aswell.

"Summer, a Grimm won't attack its own to save a human or Faunus" the man with blond hair said but flinched when Summer turned towards him.

"Well what would have happened if he didn't save me, I wouldn't be here at this very moment" Summer said angrily as Ruby went wide eye and ran towards her mother. Qrow tried to stop her but she got past him and into her mothers arms. Umbra's heart clenched at the sight as a crying Ruby was being held by from what was obviously her mother, Summer. Summer also had tears going down her face making Qrow and the blond man feel guilty. Umbra looked at the the little girl with blond hair and saw her purple eye's staring back at his glowing silver eye's.

Qrow put away his weapon and looked past Summer and Ruby to see the beowulf siting there staring at Daughter and Mother hugging eachother. But Qrow was then curious as to why the Grimm had grey eye's. The man with blond hair was also looking at the Grimm. Umbra felt eyes looking at him, but was too focussed on Ruby and Summer. He stood back on his paws and walked towards the two. Umbra stood behind Summer and nudge her shoulder. Summer wipe the tears away and looked at the Grimm that saved her. Summer smiled and looked at Ruby who was still crying but not alot. Summer turned towards Umbra so her daughters back was facing the Grimm.

"Ruby, sweety, meet the Grimm that saved mommy" Summer said as Ruby looked at her mom before turning her neck around to be face to mask with Umbra. Ruby squeaked and barried her head into Summers shoulder out of fear. Summer laughed and spoke in another motherly voice. "Don't worry, he's Friendly, he saved mommy, he is not like those other Grimm I tell you in stories, so please, greet the nice Grimm" Summer said which was enough for Ruby to slowly turn around and slowly wave with a shy smile.

"Hi" Ruby said as her innocent Silver eyes looked at the Elder Grimm. Umbra twitched before falling on his back. Everyone looked at the fallen Grimm with mixed feelings. Some were curious, amused and confused. Summer laughed as the Grimms legs twitch a few times. Umbra in his whole life never seen anything so cute and innocent, Ruby took first place in his mind... forever. Summer put Ruby down and Ruby walked over to the Grimm along with the girl with blond hair. Summer walked over to Qrow and the blond man that were currently side by side. Summer walked up to them and flicked them both on the forhead snapping them out of their daze.

"See, even a Grimm can't withstand Ruby's cuteness" Summer said with a smug look as she crossed her arms. Qrow's jaw dropped to the ground as he looked over to the Grimm to see it awake and playing with Ruby and the blond girl. "And look, it seems Ruby and Yang are having fun" Summer said as she looked at the two males. "Do you believe me now?" Summer said with a quivering lip as her eye's suddenly got bigger if possible as tears start to fill the corner of her eye's. Both males panicked at the sight of the face, they looked over to see the Grimm was frozen in place as the girls also watched as the two men shrunk at the sight of Summer's puppy eye's. The Grimm had to look away so he can continue his walk around the house as the girls were on his back laughing as Umbra purposely did a small skip in his steps a few times. Umbra smiled as he finally found a family to watch over eachother. Ruby hugged his back before barking was heard. Ruby and Yang looked up to see a small black and white Corgi barking at Umbra. Umbra stop walking and lowered it's head. Umbra growled a few times as the Corgi stop barking for a few seconds then barked a few more times before stopping as Ruby jump down from Umbra's back and ran up to the small dog.

"ZEWI" the small girl said as she picked up the small dog and hugged him close. Everyone smiled at the sight, including Umbra. Umbra felt Yang slide off and jog towards Ruby. Umbra looked at the three hunters and walked over to them. Summer saw the Grimm walking towards them and smiled.

"Ok we can't just keep calling you Grimm all the time" Summer said as umbra tilt his head to the side. Ruby and Yang heard this and ran towards Summers. Umbra shook his head at them as they starting pulling on Summers cloak with different names coming out of their mouths. Umbra simply started to trace something into the ground which got the groups attention.

"Umbra" Summer said outloud as she read the word on the floor. The Grimm nodded as the others went over the name. Ruby smiled and hugged the Grimm. Umbra smiled inside and rub his head against the small girl's head. Yang soon followed Ruby's example and hug both Ruby and Umbra. The adults smiled at the scene infront of them and they both knew they will no longer have an ordinary life which was fine by them. Not like they had a ordinary life anyways.

(5 Years later)

A ten year old Ruby was currently in the livingroom waiting for Summer to finish her famous cookies which everyone in the house would die for. Ruby was currently looking throught a weapons magazine before hearing a ceramic plate being put infront of her and the smell of fresh cookies fill her nose.

Ruby lowered the magazine and her eye's sparkled at the sight of the cookies with a bit of steam coming off them. Ruby looked up at her mother who smiled at her and pat the top of her head before walking off. Ruby was quick to eat the cookies and almost ate all of them. She paused as the last two cookies were left. She looked at the front door and smiled.

Ruby grab the last two cookies and went outside. Summer peaked her head around the corner and saw Ruby gone. The Huntress smiled knowing where Ruby was heading already.

Ruby walked up the small hill where the lone tree was standing. Next to the tree was a sleeping Beowulf. Ruby crouched down and slowly creeped towards the Grimm before jumping forward and landing on the Grimms back. The startled Grimm shot up and looked on his back to see a giggling Ruby. The Grimm relaxed as his grey eye's watched Ruby roll off his back and onto the grass floor. Ruby looked up at Umbra and smiled at him after calming down.

"Sorry Umbra, I couldn't resist" Ruby said as Umbra rolled his eye's. Umbra suddenly sniffed the air and his stomach started to grumble. Ruby smiled and held out the two cookies towards Umbra. Umbra's mouth watered at the sight of two cookies in Ruby's hand already knowing it's was Summer's cookies. Ruby tossed both cookies at Umbra who caught both cookies and chomp down them. After he finished his warm and crunchy treat, Umbra nuzzled his head against Ruby's stomach. Ruby hug the Grimm and pet his exposed ears makeing Umbra turning into jello, from ger touch. Umbra sometimes wished he didn't have his bone armor just so he can cuddle with Ruby and Yang, but sadly he can't make them vanish. But he is glad he has armor cause of all the dangers he had to face. "Umbra" Ruby said getting the Grimms attention as he looked at the silver eye child. "Don't ever change" Ruby's response was Umbra nuzzling into her stomach.

Ruby sat down on the soft grass and placed Umbra's head on her lap. Umbra felt at peace when Ruby started to pet him again. Umbra quickly fell asleep as Ruby continued to pet him. Ruby then joined Umbra in his slumber as the sunset vanished from sight leaving the two under alseep under the tree.

Currently in the house, Summer was watching from the window with a smile on her face.

"Please Umbra, take good care of Ruby" Summer said quietly as her smile turned into a sad look.

(2 Years later)

Summer hugged Ruby as she was now heading to Singal Academy to start her training. Umbra stood next to them with a sad look in his eye's. Summer saw this and pat the Grimm on the head. Umbra looked at Summer before looking away.

Yang was on the sidelines along with Qrow and the blond man named Tayuya. Zewi sat next to Umbra before he was picked up by Ruby. Zewi licked Ruby's face making the girl laugh as she set him down. Ruby looked at Umbra who was sitting down on his hunches looking at Ruby as his glowing grey eye's were filled with sadness. Ruby hugged Umbra since he was going to leave.

"Goodbye Umbra" said with tears about to stream down her face before she ran towards the group heading for Single Academy.

Summer looked at Umbra and gave him a sad look just like Ruby. Umbra nuzzled into her stomach and turned towards the forest. He looked down at Zewi and growled.

"Later pipsqueak" Umbra said. The others heard him growl while Zewi barked at him understanding him fully.

"Later furball" Zewi growled back. Umbra smirked in his head, he already missed them and he hasn't left. Umbra walked towards the forest and looks behind him to see everyone waving. Umbra felt their sadness leave their body's, and Umbra growled to himself. He looked at everyone and turned towards the forest.

"UMBRA!" the Grimm turned around only to be hugged by a red blur. Umbra felt something around his neck and when Ruby step back a red Scarf was around his neck with a Symbol of a grey rose on it. Umbra looked at Ruby who smiled at him. "It's to remember us bye" Ruby said as Umbra felt his heart ache. He got close to Ruby and nuzzled against her. Ruby closed her eye's and hugged Umbra back before petting his two ear's for the last time. Umbra backed up as Ruby waved goodbye. Umbra bowed his head a little and turned around.

He went into the forest as he Still felt their saddness going off in waves, but Ruby and Summer's saddness was the strongest. Umbra's ears flatten against his head as he got farther away. Umbra shook his head knowing he had to leave unless he wants to put...his family in danger. He felt his queens presence and he knew he had to leave.

Umbra looked up with his Silver eye's glowing brightly. He growled as Grimm surronded him. Umbra got low to the ground and charged forward with a roar. The Grimm roared back and charged towards Umbra.

Umbra knew he was alone, he would do anything to keep his family safe. This thought will always keep pushing him forward on not giving up and never give in. It was him against the world.

*Line Break Line Break Line Break*

Everyone was still watching the forest, Ruby had tears streaming down her face while Yang comfort her. Summer was also sad along with Tayuya and Qrow.

Ruby lookes at the forest a determination filled within her eye's. She was going to become a huntress and she was going to see the Grimm that's been with her through most of her childhood, unknow to her Yang was thinking the same thing.
