Enjoy!

Weiss lay awake on her bed, just as she had for many nights, thinking about her parents. She could not fathom what kind of parents would leave their daughter to be adopted. She had spent many nights crying herself to sleep because of their letter. Ruby stood by her side and comforted her when she could, but this pain was deep and would not fade easily. This night, however, Weiss did not cry. She was angry more than anything tonight. They knew where she was, how could they not come to see her? They had not contacted her since their letter, and this got her angry.

Deciding she was not going to sleep that night, she got up from her bed and put on her slippers. She grabbed Myrtenaster, just in case she might need it, and tiptoed to the door. She slid quietly out of the room. Still in her nightgown, she made her way outside. It was chilly out, but not freezing, warm enough for her to take a walk around the grounds, she decided.

She made her way over to the pond, gazing out over the utterly still water. She sat down, hugging her knees close to her. She sat there for a long while. At some point. something caught the corner of her eye. She whipped her head around to catch a glimpse of it, but it was too fast. She stood up, keeping her head on a swivel, and drew her sword.

Suddenly, a huge black shape came flying at her from the shadows, two red eyes glaring at her, screaming murder. She ducked, the hulking beast missing her by just inches. She spun around and met the next charge with her sword, driving the blade through the beast.

She looked down at her slain enemy, A Beowolf?! she thought, At Beacon? Her head was whirling. The Grimm were never so bold as to actually come onto the school grounds. She was in the process of thinking about how strange it was that there was just one, when she heard snarling behind her.

She spun around as another Beowolf charged at her. It swiped at her with its massive paw, but Weiss was already in the air. She spun Myrtenaster's chamber and unleashed a blast of fire at the beast. The flaming ball hit it square in the chest, knocking it back, but not doing nearly as much damage as it should've. As she descended, she spun the chamber again and locked the Grimm's feet into the ground with ice.

She heard snarling footsteps behind her, and backflipped out of the way of the second beast's charge. It came at her again, this time swiping at her with sharp claws. Weiss met the swipe with her sword, but was knocked backwards from it. As the beast came at her again, she sent a wave of ice towards it, freezing it completely.

Deciding that it was out of the fight, she turned to where she had frozen the first one to the ground, only to see the ice broken and the beast nowhere in sight. They don't normally run away either. She thought to herself. I need to tell Ozpin about this.

She wiped the blood off of her sword and placed it back at her hip. The sun was just beginning to peak over the horizon, and Weiss quickly made her way to her room.

She found Ruby just waking up as she entered. "Ruby," Weiss said as she closed the door behind her, "You won't believe what just happened."

Ruby sat up slowly, stretched her arms and said, "Oh yeah?" She let out a large yawn, still groggy with sleep, "What happened?"

"I was just attacked by Beowolves."

Ruby shot up in her bed, "I hope I heard that wrong."

Weiss shook her head, "I'm on my way to tell Ozpin." She said as she quickly got dressed.

Ruby followed suit and said, "I'm coming too."

The two made their way down the stairs and across the school grounds. They made sure to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. As they made it to the main building, they saw the frozen Beowolf shining in the early morning sunlight. Weiss looked over at Ruby, who looked like she was thinking intently.

They opened the door to Ozpin's office to find the headmaster speaking with Glenda Goodwitch. "Girls," He said in surprise, and, seeing the look on Ruby's face, asked, "What happened?"

Weiss spoke up, "I was just attacked by a group of Beowolves on school grounds. What is worse, one of them ran away from the fight."

Ozpin looked deep in thought, "Hmm…" He mumbled something that Weiss couldn't hear. "Thank you for telling me this, for now, don't go anywhere by yourself." He then turned to Glenda, "Make an announcement telling all the students the same."

Ruby then asked, "What are you thinking?"

Ozpin looked at her and said, "Nothing that concerns you right now. It could have just been a freak accident. We certainly do not know enough to jump to conclusions. For now, however, we must all remain alert and vigilant."

The girls nodded and Ozpin excused them both. On the way back to their dorm, Weiss said, "Ozpin knows something that he isn't sharing."

"For sure." Ruby replied. They walked for another moment in silence before Ruby exclaimed, "Oh!"

"What is it?" Weiss asked.

"Back when Ozpin told the story about….about your village, didn't he say that the group was trying to control the Grim?" Ruby said, hesitant about bringing up Weiss' past.

A look of despair came over Weiss' face before she could control herself, "Yes, he did." She said. She thought about it for a moment before quietly asking, "Do you think it could be my parents?"

Ruby looked over at Weiss, who was clearly torn up by the possibility. "No way, Weiss." She said, "No parent would send those monsters after their child, no matter the circumstances." She put on a confident smile for her partner. "I'm sure of it."

They returned to their dorm and prepared for classes that day. Weiss got ready and then walked over to the window to look outside. She could've sworn she had seen some shadow pass over the ground, but when she looked up, there was nothing but clear sky.
