After the fall of Beacon, team RWBY was divided. Blake went back to Menagerie, Weiss was brought back to Atlas, and Ruby went on an adventure with the remaining members of JNPR. Yang however, was brought back to Patch by her father. She's been trying to adjust to her new life after the fall of Beacon.

No one's POV
Patch

Yang was currently resting, trying to at least, in her bed in her room. She tosses and turns several times as she felt uncomfortable in one position and was sweating uncontrollably.

In her nightmare, she was standing alone. All around her were broken pieces of debris from buildings and darkness. She looks around, confused, and lets out a small gasp when she looks down. She raises both of her arms and turns them, examining their presence, her right arm in particular.

She looks up from her arms to find Adam Taurus walking towards her. There was red accents in his hair, mask and outfit with a surreal glow. Yang steps back defensively and discovers that she is suddenly wearing her gauntlets, Ember Celica. Almost instantly, she blasts Adam a few times, but they only phase through him while he continues walking closer to her.

Adam puts his right hand on the handle of his sheathed sword. Yang tries to attack him again, but her gauntlets were gone, her right arm too. She stares for a moment in confusion and disbelief before she was startled when Adam was abruptly directly before her. He grins at her and starts to unsheathe his sword.

Yang awakens as she abruptly sits up while screaming. She was shaking in fear as she was breathing heavily. She looks at her right arm, what's left that is, and puts her left hand on it. She takes a moment to catch her breath and when she does, she gets up from her bed and wipes off the sweat from her face. She saw the robotic arm on the bedside table next to her. She stares at it before heading downstairs.

When she was almost at the bottom of the stairs, she notices how quiet the house was.

"Dad?" Yang calls out, "You home?"

Hearing no response, she guesses her father must be outside. She walks to the front door and opens it before walking out a few steps. Still not seeing her father anywhere, she gives up and head inside. When she does, she was met with Zwie running up to her and barks. Yang slightly smiles as she pets the adorable corgi. After, Zwie runs off to somewhere as Yang thinks of doing something for the day to keep her mind off of things. After thinking for a bit, she went to the kitchen. She walks to the closet and pulls out a vacuum to clean the house.

Mini time skip

As she was cleaning, she wasn't looking behind her. She steps back into a table that held an old vase. Moving her arm back, she accidentally knocks the vase off the table. Startling her, she quickly turned around and saw the vase hit the floor and shatter into several pieces.

Yang panics a little when she sees the broken vase on the floor. She was about to clean it up until she saw two crumpled up pieces of paper within the broken shards. Carefully, she picks one of them up and opens it while trying to avoid any sharp ends of the broken vase. She studied the paper and noticed it was an old photo of team STRQ during their time at Beacon.

It was an exact copy of the one her uncle showed her before Beacon fell. She sets it on the table before grabbing the other piece of paper. She opens it and saw that it was almost the same but different; Taiyang and Summer Rose were closer together by a few inches while Qrow was more to the right. Raven Branwen, Yang's mother, didn't have her hands on her weapon but instead her arms were wrapped around a man's neck, who had an arm wrapped around her waist.

(^What you look like, minus the weapons and you choose your hair style^)

'What?' Yang questions in her mind. 'Who is this?' Were some of the many questions that were running through her head right now. A few others were wondering why her mother had her arms around the man and why was he there. Qrow, Sumner, and even her father never mentioned someone like this before.

The front door opens and her father, Taiyang, enters the house.

"Yang?" Tai calls out. "I'm home!"

Breaking her train of thought, Yang realized she still hasn't cleaned up the broken vase. She fold the pictures and hid them in her pocket before standing up and went to greet her father. She walks into the kitchen and found her father placing a bag of groceries on the table.

"Hey..." Yang tries to hide her emotions.

Tai turn around and smiles seeing his daughter out of her room for once.

"Morning. As you can probably tell, I just got back from the store. Want some lunch?"

"No thanks...I'm not hungry right now."

"Okay." Tai heads to the sink to wash his hands as he continues to speak over his shoulder. "I saw the vacuum in the living room, did you clean the place while I was gone?"

"Yeah...but I accidentally broke a vase while cleaning."

"Oh?" Tai turns off the faucet as he turns to her, looking a little worried. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. Didn't hurt myself." Yang shows her hand.

Seeing no cuts made Tai relax a bit. "That's good. Glad you're not hurt." He finishes as he grabs a towel to dry his hands.

"You're not mad?" Yang asks, confused by her father's reaction.

"As long as you're okay, I'm happy. I'm sure the vase can be replaced."

Yang simply nods before she walks to the closet and grabs a broom and dust pan. She closes the door and found Tai standing behind the door.

"I'll clean it up. Get some rest, you look tired."

Yang tries to argue and says she can do it, but Tai doesn't take no for an answer. Seeing it pointless to argue further, Yang hands over the broom and dust pan to her father before heading upstairs. Yang enters her room. She closes the door behind her before she got into her bed and covers herself with the blankets to rest. After resting for a moment, she opens her eyes and pulls out the photo with the mysterious person.

"Who are you?" She mutters.

She lets the image sink into her memories before she decides to get some rest. She hid the photo in her pocket again before she tries to fall asleep.

Everything stops before the sounds of gunshots were heard and three bullets shot the screen. It cracks and shatters into nothing.
