NO POV

Junior had lost track of how long he has been tied up in this building. He never left, so he couldn't tell if it was day or night. And Cinder wasn't helpful at all. The only time she appeared was to give him food and water. It was like he was a damn pet.

Jr soon realized that escape was pointless. He was just a kid, even with aura and a semblance he couldn't break apart metal. Plus, he knows nothing about Atlas or Mantle. He would just wind up getting lost in the large cities. Then again, for all he knew they weren't even on the continent of Solitas.

Today was like any other. Junior was awakened by Cinder arriving.

Cinder: So you're still kicking?

Junior didn't respond; Cinder grinned.

Cinder: Oh what, no smart ass comments. Looks like the fight in you has died down.

She threw a bag at his feet. Inside the bag Junior found food and water, normally she would bring him things that would last him two or three days. But there was enough things in here to last a week.

Cinder: I was going to use you, but looks like things are changing. I'll come back if need you.

Junior: What do you mean if?

Cinder started to walk away, worrying Junior.

Cinder: It would be best if you try to ration those things, no telling how long I'll be gone.

Junior ran at Cinder, but the chain once again stopped him. He tried over and over to rip the chain free of the pillar. Panic could be seen on his face.

Junior: Wait please, you can't just leave me here! Just let me go, no one will believe a kid that you took me!

Despite his pleading, Cinder just kept on walking.

Junior: PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!

Cinder walked out the door, closing it tight. Junior went silent, until he screamed.

It has been two days since then. Junior knew Cinder was being serious about leaving him chained up in that building all by himself. Junior did his best to eat and drink as little as possible. As a result, he was now starving.

The chain wrapped around his leg was barely even scratched and the pillar it was attached to was still sturdy. He could continue to tug and pull to try and free himself but it was pointless.

Is this how it would end for Jaune Jr Arc. All alone, dying of starvation and thirst. Inside this empty and abandoned building, where no one could find his body. His family would never know what happened to him. His mother would once again have to deal with someone she loves being gone.

In Junior's darkest time, he suddenly felt a warm feeling. He looked at his hands and saw that they were covered in some sort of yellow energy. Then his entire body was encased in this strange light. This light made Junior feel warm and filled him with energy. He cupped his hands together and a ball of light was created. The ball of light was then launched at the pillar, causing an explosion the occur.

When the dust settled, the pillar was turned into pebbles and the chains turned into scraps. Junior was now freed. Junior started to laugh as he ran out of the room, ready to leave this place behind. Once he got out of the room he heard a roar and turned to see a sabyr charging out him.

As the grimm got close, the light appeared once again and knocked the grimm back, sending it flying and crashing into a wall. Junior slowly approached the grimm, which jumped back up. Only to receive a ball of light to the face, killing it up.

Junior: That was a little to close for comfort. Now lets see where I am.

Junior finally managed to find an exit for the building. When he opened the door, he got blasted by wind. The first thing he saw was snow going for miles.

Junior: Guess I am on Solitas.

He looked off into the distance and saw a city in the background, Mantle. But that's not all he saw, he looked up into the sky and saw...

Junior: What the...

(scene change)

Pyrrha: Language!

Ruby: What was that Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: Sorry, it was just my motherly instincts.

The grimm that I had just slayed turned into dust. I managed to stop the hoard before it could reach Mantle. However there would still would be dozens of more heading there. But that doesn't mean what I am doing won't help.

With the winter maiden on the run and Ironwood losing his mind it was only a matter of time before Salem begins a full on assault. When that happens I don't know if we will survive. For now I have to get into the city.
