Sapphire Pov

I was running through the forest like a dog with its tail between its legs. I'm embarrassed at my actions, how could I just leave him like that? This is all my fault, he told me not to trust dad, but I didn't listen. I'm just worried what Cinder will do.

I finally reached our headquarters where everyone was, and probably still is. I ran through the gate as the soldiers and guards looked confused. One of them tried to stop me but I quickly froze him and kept going.

I soon reached to door to our planning room, where I assumed everyone was. I barge open the doors and everyone looks at me in shock and confusion. I ran all the way to my dear Mercury's arms, and laid my head on his shoulder. He was very confused, as I expected, but began to hug me and pet my hair.

"Babe, what's wrong? Where's Y/N?" He asked.

"I...I" I was choked up and couldn't talk. Cinder began to get impatient.

"Where. Is. Y/N" she said, threateningly. I was scared and shaking.

"He.. He's dead!" I yelled, then quickly hid my face in Mercury's shoulder. Everyone was shocked at my outburst. Cinder and Raven were the ones most effected.

"What?!" I heard Raven yell.

"Yang and Qrow tricked him! Yang acted as a distraction and Qrow stabbed him!" I yelled as Raven's eyes widened, with tears running down them. Cinder was just looking to the ground, emotionless. Emerald was even crying.

"This... THIS IS YOUR FAULT" I heard Raven yell and draw her sword. She lunged at me as I looked at her in horror. Right as she was about to connect, she was hit with a fireball from Cinder. I was confused as to why she did that, or why she isn't mad at me.

"Calm now Raven! This is exactly what they want! They want us to fight amongst ourselves. We can't do that. Besides" She started as Raven looked at her with an angry look. "We have to go get him, I won't leave him to die in some Rebel hideout" She said as she used her magic to change her clothes in an instant ( Like in dance dance infiltration) to her combat gear.

"Yeah, come on babe, let's go!" Mercury said as Raven, Cinder, Mercury, Emerald, Hazel, and I all began to leave.

"Oh, by the way Sapphire.... If Y/N really is dead" Cinder said and formed a large fireball in her hand. I got the message and nodded.

Cinder Pov

After we got a few squads of troops, we all went to the location Sapphire said. We all exited the military vehicle and walked to the bunker like structure.

"Men, stay out here." I said to our soldiers as they nodded and formed a circle formation around our location. As the six of us walked quickly down the stairs, as I lit the way with a flame.

"Now, where did you say he was?" I asked Sapphire. She ran to the edge of a deep dark pit.

"He-He was stabbed and then.. they kicked him down here" she said pointing to the abyss.

I looked back at everyone else.

"Raven and I are going down. I can hover with my flames, Raven is... Well a Raven" I said as they nodded. I made a flame spout with my hands and began to slowly lower myself down the pit. Raven transformed and flew down.

Once I reached the bottom, I saw a large blood pool. Raven transformed and landed next to me and also spotted it.

"Where is he!" She yelled, clearly frustrated.

"Look" I said pointing to a blood trail. She noticed it and began to run while following it, as did I. I lit the darkness with my flames as we followed it. We soon heard groaning.

"Y/N" I yelled as I followed the sound, assuming it was him. We both ran and saw Y/N crawling on the ground, with a large stab wound through his back.

"Son!" Raven yelled and went to him, kneeled down, and lifted his head up. He coughed up a lot of blood, as it was clear he was in bad shape.

I went to him and kneeled down.

"Y/N! We're-We're here" I said putting my hand on his, as tears fell.

"M-Mom... Cinder?" He asked with blood coming from his mouth.

"Yes son. We're here." Raven said, as we were all crying.

"I...I'm sorry I failed you guys.. I... I wasn't strong enough" He said, crying. I immediately felt guilt for his sadness.

"No. Don't feel like that sweetie. This isn't your fault, and you didn't fail anyone!" I said, to which he nodded.

"I... I Love you both" He said then closed his eyes, and went limp. My eyes widened at his last breath.

"Y/N! Y/N!" Raven yelled, shaking him. We were both filled with despair and heartache, but then I remembered something.

"Wait.. Raven" I said and she looked at me.

I put my hand to his chest and began to use my Grimm magic that I obtained from Salem. I gave him a few new lungs, that are almost like Grimm. They can still be used just like a humans but, it will change his appearance a bit.

A dark orb swarmed around as Raven looked on in amazement and confusion. Y/N's appearance changed, his hair is now pitch black, his eyes a bit darker, and has claws now. He slowly began to open his eyes, then looked at us.

"Mom? Cinder?"
