Red Like Roses (Red Trailer Rewrite)

The winter wind whistled through the cold open plain, the breeze rather soft as the bitter air flew graciously across the land. Stood solely in the sea of white was a singular rose, hood pulled up to protect from the cruelty of the cold. She stood with her head tilting down, droplets falling from her face onto the stone below that read, “Summer Rose - Thus Kindly I Scatter.” The singular rose looked up to the moon above before turning her back to the gravestone. “You are no longer blooming alone Mother… the flowers of your kin have blossomed and are now ready to inhabit the bleak world, but not alone…” the rose spoke to the grave, no reply was expected. She advanced from the stone as a lonely crow landed on the gravestone to watch the singular rose.

As the rose left, a few figures begun to close down the distance. The rose stood strong, not withering to the threat of the creatures. She stood in place and as one of the creatures lunged forwards, the rose hovered atop the ground, with her thorn at hand before her red hood fell to reveal the face of a little girl. Her stunning silver eyes stared down at the monsters as she lingered high in the air before she drew her weapon and aimed at one of the monsters heads, taking aim and firing. Upon landing, she lifted her foot to prop herself off of the second creatures head, flipping to then take aim and end the life of the second monster. With a swift roll, she shot one more in the head and gain her composure. As she did so, the sniper form of weapon folded out into a scythe. As one monster approached, she held the scythe in front, the blade pressed against the creatures neck as she aimed for a second - firing to end one with a bullet the second by decapitation. As she reloaded, the monster collapsed beside her and she stuck the sharp peak of the scythe into the ground, taking aim and firing numerous shots as the creatures closed in as a group.

Panting, she waiting for one to approach and as such, she hopped with her scythe in the air and fired as the creature drew head height with the nozzle of her gun. This propelled her backwards rapidly and she dug the blade into the ground to stop her momentum, standing on the staff of the weapon as a vantage point. One monster approached and she spun to lay down on the weapon, pulling the trigger to headshot one creature as she grabbed the handle as the momentum flipped her hurdling into the monster she had evaded. The impact knocked the wolf-like creature down, she landed on both feet and begun her onslaught of slashes against the oncoming creature. During one slash, she pulled the trigger to defeat the monster behind her and the momentum of the slash defeated the second. With swift overhead slashes, another was finished. She then extended the blade outwards and shot the bullet whilst pulling her weapon back, once again decapitating one of the creatures in an instant. She then used the cover of the blade to knock back one of the monsters, spinning with her weapon so the blade was against the monster’s back whilst another approached. With two shots, one creature had its torso torn inside out whilst the other was completely sliced in two. The top half of the creature catapulted into a second, knocking it away as three more approached. Jumping away, she gained some space to breathe as sweat trickled down her face. She then rushed again, slashing in three circular motions to remove an arm and a leg from one of the creatures before shooting, the bullet catching the leg of another and the blade propelled into the neck of the monster. She fought with the blade for a moment, struggling to remove it from the creature. She looked over her shoulder and panicked a little as she rolled forwards, changing the weapon from scythe to sniper form as she shot upwards whilst on her rear. She then, shot over her head backwards once, luckily able to scramble back onto her feet.

The next creature she hooked around it’s neck, spinning to be stood on its head with the blade against its throat, shooting to remove another head and flipping against the momentum. Whilst in the air, monster leaped towards her, which she countered by spinning rapidly and taking down two, she then used one as a perch, shooting it to gain some more air time. She slashed downwards to end another but had to defend against one swiping its dirty claws at her. She was sent back some and used the blade once again to stop her movement. Despite how many she had defeated, there were still countless before her and she devised a plan. She removed her clip and reloaded with another, leaving the clip in the snow beside her. With the scythe behind her, she stepped forwards with a lot of pressure and with a quick boom, she propelled forwards faster than imaginable through the crowd of monsters, spinning her blade as quick as possible to defeat the herd of Grimm. As she reached the end, she shot backwards once to finish off the one she missed and looked over her shoulder. Simultaneously, they all dropped to the ground. Lots of shells fell behind her as she stood with the staff of her scythe over her shoulders and smiled softly. She then noticed the flapping of wings from behind her, a singular crow was leaving the forest she had came from before. “I won’t leave you… since your loved ones are sleeping… go sleep with them. We will be okay. I will follow one day… when all my duties come to an end. But until then, I take up your mantle as hero. I’ll be the protector for all of those you held dear and all those I do too… don’t worry mom, I’m going to get stronger until one day, I can protect you too.” She said into the wind, walking away from the grave through the woods.
