Finally after years of being trapped in the dark, horrible Jail. They were just minutes away from seeing the light of freedom. Finally, they can stop fighting and start living. Everyone was being lifted up to the bright sky, to a world where Nightmares and Marchens don't exist. Everyone was smiling, eager to begin their lives a new. Once they reached the land above, they were taken back to how different the world was. the trees and grass were a perfect shade of green and the sky was a bright baby blue. It was such a contrast to the dark and cold world they had left behind. However, they couldn't enjoy the view for long as a wolf with pitch black fur had ambushed them. Not too far from the lone wolf was it's pack rushing towards them. What happened after that was all a blur, everyone was seprated as they fleed. Sadly, that's when he memory of that moment stops. The next thing she knew she was being carried by some stranger, after being treated for wounds. Then yet again, her consiousness fades.

Alice awakened in an unfamiliar bed, her head throbbing with pain. Gripping the temples, she could feel bandages wrapped around her head. Slowly, she stood up on her feet exploring the room. It looked like the clinic she usually found Miko. However, this place seemed more...well equipped than what she's used to. There were some machines she had never seen before.

"Oh, you're awake." A voice called out to her from behind. A blonde woman with glasses had entered the room, "How are you feeling?"

Alice just looked at the woman for a good minute before answering, "My head kind of hurts...but I'm ok." She answered honestly, "Where are my friends?"

"Sadly, you were the only one we found. If you're friends are still out there we will find them. You were injured pretty badly when Crow found you but you recovered rather quickly. Quicker than I thought at least." She checked Alice's bandages before speaking again, "The headmaster has a few questions for you. If you would please follow me." The blonde woman beckoned Alice to follow her. Alice did just that, following her through the quite lengthy hallway. On the way to wherever they were going, they had past by a couple of people that looked closer to Alice's age. As she passed by they gave her questionable looks and began whispering among themselves. Was she really that strange to them? Was it because of her clothes? Could it be they know she's a Blood Maiden somehow? It didn't take too long until they reached a large door, no doubt belonging to this headmaster. Hesitently, Alice entered the room. It was a large office or whatever it was. At the back of the room was a single desk and a man behind it.

"Ah, our new guest has finally woke up. Come please take a seat." The white haired man gestured toward the chair set in front of him. After Alice took a seat, he smiled, "I don't believe we've been properly introduced. I'm Professor Ozpin, and you are...?"

Alice couldn't help but compare this man tothe professor she knew back in the Jail. They somewhat shared the same mannerisms, though she hoped that this professor didn't turn into another Snark. "My name is Alice."

"Well, it's good to meet you Alice. Now tell me, where are you from? You were found in the middle of the woods and your clothes are so...different than what we're used to seeing."

"I'm...from Jail. I've been there for as long as I can remember."

The man was clearly confused by what she meant, "You mean...you've been in jail you're life? Where exactly is this jail you're from?"

"It's underground. I don't how deep though..."

"Hmm...I see." Ozpin had no idea how to process this information, "Tell me, do you know anything about where you are now?"

Alice just simply shook her head at the question, "I know nothing about life up here. Everything is so...different than Jail."

Upon hearing this Ozpin stood up from his desk and looked out the window, "Hmm, it does match what we found close to where we found you. There was a large hole deep in the woods. It was difficult to make out what lied at the bottom. It seems both of us have tons of questions, but you're still recovering so I'll refrain from asking for now. Besides, there's a team researching the crater as we speak."

"But what about my friends?"

"If they're still out there we will find them. Do not worry." He smiled confidently, "While we're searching for you're friends. Why not experince life here in Beacon? Unless...you already have a place to stay?"

Alice couldn't really say no. She didn't have anywhere else to go and searching blindly for Jack and the others didn't seem like a good idea. Alice just nodded in response.

"Excellent! Now normally we don't accept new students so late in the year. But I'm willing to make an exception this one time. As for team assignments go...I guess we can assign you as a spare member for a team. And then there's the matter of a weapon and uniform...hmm. I'll figure all that out. In the meantime, why not get used to the school and introduce yourself to the other students?"

"I'll do just that then...thank you." He smiled at her before pulling up some kind of hologram while Alice got up and left. This world was so much different than she expected. There was still so much she didn't understand. She wished she had Jack to be here for here, but she was hopeful that they would be reunited soon. For now, it might be best for Alice to adjust to her new life in this new land. The future was uncertain but she was ready to face it head on.
