Hi guys! This is my first fanfiction I have ever written! I know it's not very long, but I just wanted to get a feel on how to write the characters. I'd greatly appreciate any criticism or advice you guys have to offer. It's based off of a prompt given to me by a friend from Tumblr. Thanks again!

RWBY and it's characters are owned by Roosterteeth and Monty Oum. Just putting that out there :)

The boy ran through the woods, stumbling among the various roots of trees that populated the soil. The boy didn't know how much longer he could run. All he knew was that he couldn't stop. His feet bled, his shirt was torn, his normally bright blonde hair was plastered to his face with sweat. The dim moonlight hindered his sight as he bumped into a tree every few feet. The boy could feel consciousness slipping away, but he kept running. If he stopped, the large gash on his right forearm wouldn't be the only injury he gained. The former leader ran for a few minutes before he saw it. The boy couldn't believe his eyes. No, this couldn't be happening. There was no way she could be there, in front of him. There was no way that her normally bright red hair could have been covered with dirt. There was no blood. No way her left arm could have been missing. There was no way that Pyrrha was dead. The boy fell on his knees, he couldn't go any further. What kind of leader would let this happen to his team? The boy cradled the body of his teammate in his arms and sobbed. "No, this can't be happening. No... No... No!"

"Jaune, wake up!"

The boy woke up with tears in his eyes. It was a dream after all.

"Pyrrha... Did I wake you? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Jaune said slowly, still trying to catch his breath. Pyrrha smiled, there it was. The reason she loved the blonde boy so much. The boy just woke up from a clearly terrible nightmare, but she was the first thing he was worried about. Not the tears in his eyes, but he was worried about causing any trouble to his teammates. "No, it's okay. Are you okay? You were screaming in your sleep" Pyrrha asked her still out of breath leader. "Yeah I just... Just had a terrible nightmare", Jaune said as he reached up slowly and put his hand on the side of her face. "Pyrrha, I'm so glad you're here." The red haired girl blushed ever so slightly. Why was he acting like this?

"Jaune, are you sure you're okay?" She said as she put her hand on his. "Yes... I just... I just want to make sure I never lose you again"

Pyrrha was confused. "Agai-" She began to speak but was interrupted by his finger to her lips, asking her to be quiet. Jaune held his finger there for a few silent minutes before speaking "Pyrrha, is it okay if I sleep in your bed? I... I just want to know you're there.." Pyrrha smiled, "Sure Jaune, you know I'm your mentor and I have to keep you safe however I can". Jaune got up and followed Pyrrha to her bed before sliding under the blankets with her. "So, what was your nightmare about?" Pyrrha asked. No answer. The girl turned to face him and found him fast asleep. Pyrrha leaned over and places a soft kiss on his cheek, "Goodnight Jaune". The girl placed her head on his chest and drifted of to sleep.
