The White Death - A RWBY Fanfiction

The Tower And The Aces

POV - Elm

'This is weird'

"Alright, listen up," my new leader Clover said, "We are guests on an island of people that don't want us there."

"So you're finally telling us the plan," the hotshot Harriet said.

"Not the plan, just the outline," the quiet one in the corner said.

"The Generals' orders were sparse but the gist of it is that we are going to be meeting a figure in a white hood who is going to be our CO of sorts during our time on the island," Clover said.

'White hood... oh no'

I could feel myself freeze up.

'He isn't talking about him is he'

"But you're our CO," the faunus of the group Marrow said.

"Quiet newbie," Harriet said.

"Hey," I said.

"What," Harriet asked with a dangerous look in her eyes.

"I don't know what your problem is with him but you best not show it when we get to Menagerie, don't want to give them the wrong idea," I said.

"Harriet, Elm, enough," Clover ordered.

Harriet grumbled something under her breath before sitting down.

"Thanks," Marrow whispered.

"You're welcome," I whispered back.

"We're five minutes out so get ready," Clover said.

"Do you know who we're meeting Elm," the quiet one asked.

This question seemed to get everyone's attention.

"Why would she know if Clover doesn't," Harriet said.

"Because she froze up at the mention of a white hood," Marrow said.

'Traitor'

"I might but I'm not sure," I said.

"Mind clueing us in," Clover said.

"I don't want to say too much, but I will say don't mess with him," I said.

"I'm sure I can beat him," Harriet said.

"So did she," I said.

"Who," Clover asked.

"My last CO," I said.

"He killed a military officer," Clover asked.

"To call her a military officer when he killed her would be an insult to us all," I answered.

"Dishonorably discharged," Clover asked.

"Discharged from her head, sure," I answered.

"Oh," Marrow said.

"Yup," I said.

Everybody went very quiet after this.

"Ready for landing," Clover called out.

I braced myself, and a moment later the Bullhead jostled. The door opened and the sounds of ocean waves crashing on the nearby beach filled my ears.

"Everybody off," Clover said.

"Nobody move," a commanding female voice said from outside of the Bullhead.

'Crap'

"We were invited here to help protect the construction crew," Clover yelled out.
