What Have I Done! Chapter 1: Prologue - Nora Strikes, a rwby fanfic

Prologue – Nora Strikes

Jaune never thought he would be a leader. Believe me, I could tell. The way his face just said, "I'm the leader? This can't be right." However, he is and he should be glad that he has a great team, great friends, and a curtain FRIEND!

Pyrrha looks at me "SHUT UP ATHENA! JUST BECAUSE I-."

"YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!" She interrupted, shooing her off, "TELL THAT TO THE JUDGE! AND IF YOU DO THEY'LL AGREE SO HA!" As she walked, away Athena went straight to her book again "Anyways, now where was I…" However, just before she could continue a large snowball made by a grenade launcher that turns into a hammer interrupted her again. She fell straight into a snow pile face first while Nora stood on her, singing, "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!"

"Nora… GET OFF ME!" Athena shouted under the snow. Nora got off as she got up, spitting up snow. "Pyrrha told you to use your weapon to shoot a flying snow ball at me, huh?" The first thing she did was smile and say, "Now why would she say that? She's not my team leader." Then she continued to hum I'm queen of the castle to herself, skipping all the way back to Ren. I always wondered how those two got along, but then again who wouldn't get along with her, she is too FREAKING CUTE to ignore. All I want to do is hold her as I sleep, maybe I can make a chibi out of her. Oh sh*t I was telling a story! Not talking about how much cuteness lovely lil plushy Nora can be.

"Ok. Back to what I was writing…"

Athena Wise is the most loyal and intelligent women in Beacon. You could say she looks like Pyrrha in a way, only her head's a bit narrow like an egg and has Blake's eyes shape, but yeah she was amazing with her skills. but she always wore white boots that don't go as high as Weiss' shoes, talk about suicide shoes in her opinion, and black eye shadow, she had long straight hair that went to her knees, a tank top that looked more like a zipper sports bra, and shorts with a cloak attached to them. She was always doing something in her books, and since its winter and Christmas coming soon, this will give her a chance to write more in her to herself

Just before he could even leave the area, another snowball hurled past her head. She looks straight up from her head with a look that said "are you f**king kidding me" on her face. Athena put her pencil down in her book, snapped it shut, and then looked at Ruby Rose, the leader of the RWBY team. She froze instantly in fear. Her sister, Yang, and her friends, Blake and Weiss, were having a snowball fight when Ruby decided to throw one at her sister ten seconds too late, causing it to pass by her and hit Athena. She stood there, frozen as Weiss points at Ruby, however instead of attacking only Ruby for throwing it, Athena makes the snow blast them all in the air and making all but Blake with her quick agility allowing her to land safely, they all crashed into snow mounds headfirst.

Blake looked at them and sighed. 'You guys really need to work more on your feet and defense." She said as she helps them out of the snow chuckling. "Yeah well excuse me for not REALIZING what she was gonna do to us and wasn't sure where we were gonna land"

Yang popped her head out coughing. "So you were distracted, is that what you were saying?"

"Absolutely NOT!" She retorted. "I just… let my guard down is all?"

"Yeah you were distracted"

Ruby then burst out of the snow and started spitting out large chunks of snow; everyone started laughing as she lays there in the snow. Athena smirked at them; she can see how they got along with each other. Weiss however, still needs to have a lil bit more practice when it comes to the term "team work" because she can't seem to realize that without team work you can't survive against the Grimm, and if that happens, well… best of luck anyway.

Yang noticed that Athena was writing something down and could not help herself but to see what she was writing. "Come to see what I'm doing?" When she heard this, she froze. "Huh? Oh well…" She was trying to think about how to explain this.

She chuckled as she looked back at her friend. "It's alright Yang, you don't have to act like you're not trying to look over my shoulders. Here." She handed her the book and waited for her to be done, as soon as she heard laugh she smiles happily knowing that she finished reading what she wrote. "Oh… oh man…" She chucked for air. "You know she gonna kill you for that."

"So, she does." She stands up and turns around to Yang "I don't need to practice team work, as long as I remember my training!" They laughed as Ruby, Blake, and Weiss standing by the snow pile. They looked at each other and shrugged.

"Well talked later Yang, I'll see you soon." As Athena left to her room. She looked over to her right to find Cardin and his team talking to Jaune, "Which reminds me." She thought, she opened her book and went back to what she was previously doing before she decided to get hit by a massive grenade snowball and almost get hit by a normal snowball. She opened her book and continued writing. "I know why your hear Jaune." She said as she continued to write in her book.

Jaune, who was standing next to her, was going to "attack" her and take the book. However, she saw through Cardin's plan and stopped him before Jaune could even get any closer. "Huh? What? Oh, uh…" He cleared his throat and straighten up "I uh… it's not what it looks like-."

"Jaune, I know why they sent you here."

"Y-Ya do? Ho-."

"I am a Mother Nature Magi Jaune," she said as she wrote down the last bit of info she obtained, she stopped writing to look at him. "I can use the forces of nature to aid me and hear my call to my will and aura. And because of this I can protect myself without anyone trying to sneak up on me." She then looked away continued writing again.

"Oh." He said looking a bit depressed, "Sorry…"

Athena sighed and stopped writing; she put her pencil back into her book and closed it with a snap. Jaune looked at her as soon as he heard her book closed. "Jaune, why are you doing everything those dick heads tell you to do?"

"What? Oh uh…"

"You know you can tell me, I'm your friend remember? Just like Ruby, Yang, Weiss, Blake, Ren, Nora, Pyrrha, V-."

He jumped at the mention of her name "No!" He snapped, "I can't tell you I'm sorry, look I came here for your book. If you don't they'll hurt my team."

"You mean Pyrrha, right?" She asked. He simply looked down with a guilty expression on his face. "Ok then"

"What!?" He looked at her with compete shock on his face, "Yo-You'll give me the book? Really?"

"Yeah." She said and reached into her Black Retro Messenger Bag and pulled out a large black book with a pair of dark gray wings on the front, she smiled and said. "Here, make sure I get it back in one piece please? I did a lot of work in that book, ok?"

He nodded and took the book. "Th-Thanks Athena…" He smiled and walked off happily. Athena looked up at the trees and listen to them as they softly whispered in her ears. Thank you, she said in response, make sure by whatever means necessary that book comes back to me unharmed and that Jaune is safe as well. With that, she walked off again and pulled out the same large black book that she had given him and started looking over her battle strategies for the next upcoming training course.

Meanwhile in the large area of trees, Jaune was walking around trying to find Cardin and his teammates were. He looked around, finding them laying back on the largest tree. When Cardin saw him, he jumped down from the tree's roots and walked over to him. Without warning, he snatched the book from Jaune's hand and looked at it. "Well done Jaunie-boy, now that we have this we can make sure your friends will never be able to figure out what to do."

"What do you mean Cardin?" He asked not happy about what he had heard, "What's so special about that book?"

"What's so special? This has all the info we need." However, when he opened it he was not too happy. "What is this!?" he snarled. He growled and threw the book at a nearby tree, but as soon as it hit the surface of the bark. The book went straight threw it, causing it to disappear, leaving only a few pages behind. "WHAT THE HELL!?" He roared as he stared into at the spot where the book vanished. He was so angry that he screamed into the sky, making all the birds in the trees fly away.

Jaune was not happy about this, in fact he was now very worried 'Oh no…" He said to himself watching Cardin rage, "Athena, what did you do?" He then looked down and saw that one of the pages from the book was by his foot. He looked up to see if anyone was watching. Luckily, Cardin's team was trying to figure out how to get the book out of the tree when he knew that it was not in that tree anymore, it was back at home with its proper owner safe just like he promised. He picked the page up and turned it over, what he saw broke his heart. It was a picture, a drawing of Pyrrha and Jaune when they were hanging out at the park. Jaune folded it up then quickly put it in his pocket before anyone saw. Then he saw several pages laid around all by him and picked them all up and hid them in his bag, he then slowly walked pasted them and ran to find Athena. He needed to know why she did this to him, why would he put his team at risk, why betray his trust, more importantly why was she watching him and Pyrrha wherever they went and drawing pictures of them? He had to get the answers out of her and fast before Cardin got a hold of Pyrrha and hurt her. He would never forgive himself if he did.

Now where we left off Athena was about to tell a story about our handsome Jaune Arc, however she had nothing else to write sadly. This bugged her, and what also bugged her was that some of her pictures that she had drawn were missing. She feared that Cardin saw them and threw them in the tree. She sighed and walked over to her bed and lay downed, as she stared off into space her eye lids started to get heavy. With the sound of the winds breeze ruffling the trees, she closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.
