NO POV

Back in the land of grimm, all of Salem's subordinates were gathered in the grand hall, each one sitting around the table. One one side was Watts, Hazel, and Coal and on the other side was Cinder and Tyrian. Finally Emerald and Mercury were standing next to Cinder.

Watts: I would appreciate it if you controlled your pets.

All Cinder could do was glare at the man.

Watts: Silence, I have half a mind to thank the girl for what she did. Then again, it only worked on one of you.

When he said that last part he looked over at Coal who growled in response.

Tyrian: If I were you I would hunt her down, find her and then(chuckles), well she took your eye didn't she.

Tyrian starts to laugh like a mad man. Meanwhile Cinder tries to speak but is unable to, so instead she whispers to Emerald.

Watts: Pathetic, why do we even...

The doors to the halls open up, everyone quickly stands ups. Salem enters the room and walks over to her seat at the end of the table.

Salem: Watts...do you find such foolishness necessary?

She gestures for everyone to sit down and they do.

Watts: I apologize mam, I'm not particularly fond of failure.

Salem: Then there is no need to direct it at Cinder. She has become our fall maiden, destroyed Beacon tower, and killed dear Ozpin.

Watts: When you put it like that, it appears Coal has failed us the most. Not only has did he fail to kill the targets during the battle but he let the Nikos girl escape.

Coal sent a murderous glare at Watts.

Coal: You smug son of a...

Salem held up her hand and Coal backed down.

Salem: So tell me Watts, what exactly has Cinder failed at?

Watts: Getting the girl with the silver eyes.

Hazel: Ah yes, we have dealt with her kind before. How is it that a novias was able to best one of us?

Watts: My thoughts exactly, even without her powers it should have been easy.

Salem: It is because of the maiden power. Make no mistake Cinder, you hold the key to our victory. But your new found powers carry a weakness along with it, that is why you'll be remaining by my side as we finish your treatment. Dr. Watts, you are to take Cinder's place and meet with our informant in Mistral.

Watts: Very good.

Salem: Tyrian, I want you to continue the hunt for the spring maiden.

Tyrian:(chuckles) Very well.

Salem: Hazel, I am sending you to meet with the leader of the White Fang. Adam Taurus has arranged a meeting. The boy continues to prove his loyalty, ensure that Sienna Khan feels the same way.

Hazel: As you wish.

Salem: Coal, you'll head over to Mistral as well. We have a list of huntsmen and huntresses that need to be dealt with.

Coal grins.

Coal: This will be like the good old days.

Salem: While you're at it, keep an eye out for Pyrrha Nikos.

Cinder has Emerald lean and closer and whispers into her ear.

Salem: Speak child.

Emerald: She wants to know about the girl?

Watts:(scoff) What about the girl, this seems like Cinder's problem and not ours.

Cinders slams her hand against the table and glares at Watts as he just grins at her.

Salem: That's enough...Tyrian.

Tyrian: Yes my queen?

Salem: Spring can wait, find the girl.

Tyrian happily laughs and claps.

Salem: And bring her back.

His happiness quickly disappears at hearing that he couldn't kill her.

Salem: Because of your actions, Beacon has fallen. And Haven will soon follow.

A middle aged woman was walking down an empty road as the sun was setting. She wore a light purple cloak and had long brown hair. Her name was Heather Shield, a huntress who was on her way home after a mission. It was a tiring one, but she was happy that she would now be able to return to her family.

As she traveled, she came across a long figure. Said figure was wearing a brown cloak and lying in the middle of the road, with a pool of blood around them. Heather quickly rushed over to the fallen person.

Heather: Excuse me, are you all right?

She flipped the person over, revealing a man who looked absolutely terrorized and had a large gash across his chest.

Man: Run...he's here.

The moment he said that, a figure came flying out from the trees and crashed right into Heather, knocking her back. This figure was Coal.

Coal: Heather Shields, looks like the information was correct about you.

Heather's eyes widened with terror, standing in front of her was one of Remnant's most notorious mass murderers. She quickly got up and brought out her weapon, a halberd.

Heather: You're the Owl, what do you want?

Coal: Oh it's nothing personal, but my boss can't have people like you around in the city of Mistral. But do me a favor and make this good, I always enjoy it when my prey can fight back.

Heather charged and swung her halberd several times, each time Coal blocked. He then kicked Heather with enough force to knock her back and then brought out his kagune. He then started attacking Heather, who was doing her best to block each strike. Luckily her aura was protecting her from the attacks that hit her.

However aura didn't last forever, and hers was getting low. It finally gave away once Coal knocked her back onto the ground. So she used her lost resort, a dust powered bomb. As Coal approached her, she threw it right at his face. The bomb hit him dead on, explosion knocked everyone away.

Heather let out a sigh of relief, thinking that it was over. However from the smoke, Coal emerged with his face completely blasted off. That was until it started to regenerate, terrorizing Heather even farther. Coal couldn't help but laugh at her fear.

Coal: Man that hurt, now I'm hungry.

Coal lunged at Heather and buried his jaw into her shoulder. Coal ripped off the chunk of flesh ad devoured it. Heather got up and ran into the woods followed slowly. Heather ran as fast as she could, covering her wounded shoulder. She hid behind a large tree, sat down, and began regaining her breathe. She began to peek around the tree to see if Coal was still pursuing her.

Coal: PEEK A BOO, I FOUND YOU!

Heather quickly turned around, by then Coal already cut her across her stomach. Heather fell back down and began to crawl backwards and Coal slowly walked back towards her. Her back met a tree, meaning she was now trapped. She couldn't stop herself from crying at her incoming death.

Coal: You really thought you could get away from me, not after I managed yo get your scent.

Heather: P-Please...I-I have a f-family.

Coal: A family huh, seeing you like this must mean you're really close with them right? ISN'T THAT JUST FUCKING LOVELY!

Heather let out one last scream as Coal stabbed her through the chest. Coal merely stared at her corpse before heading back towards the road. When he got back he found the man trying to crawl away. The man looked at Coal in terror.

Man: HELP, SOMEONE HELP!

Coal laughed at the defeated man.

Coal: Don't worry, I won't be the one to kill you. They'll do that for me.

From the forest several beowolves appeared as Coal was leaving. Coal smiled once he heard the screams of the man being devoured. Meanwhile a man and his daughter were eagerly awaiting the return of their wife/mother. However they would soon find out she wasn't coming back.

There we go Chapter 15 is now completed. I hoped you all enjoyed it. See ya next time!
