Cinder's POV:
This school has always been interesting. Training children to be Hunters and Huntesses. It always peeked my interest. How is the training done? However, that isn't why I secretly attented Beacon. A certain…person has attented here and they have a very 'special trait' that I could use. I open my scroll to see this 'person of interest's' face.
Slightly shaggy black hair, goofy smile, enchanting black eye, and of course you can't forget his eyepatch. Shame, really. Such a handsome man having one eye due to a certain, red-haired criminal with a cane. "Cinder." A male voice breaks my focus. I look at a gray-haired man that I'm allied with. Mercury.
"Yes?"
"You've been staring at that guy for a while. You got the hots for him?" He joked. A mint-green haired girl chuckled. I glared at her and she quickly stopped.
"Sorry, Cinder." Emerald apologized.
"Mercury, you humor is…lacking. I am clearly getting his face in my head, so when we see him, when we see him we'll instantly know." Mercury chuckled as a continued walking down one of the many hallways of Beacon academy. The three of us arrive at the cafeteria and we scan the room. We hear a crowd of laughter as we enter. Looking for the source of the noise, we find a crowd of students laughing.
"That's not funny Gray!"
"The fact on how you cried over cookies? Yeah, it is pretty funny!" A black-haired girl with red tips pouts while the table continues to laugh.
"Are they who we think they are?" Mercury asked.
"I believe they are." I smirk. What luck."From what Roman had told me, Mr. Gray is a 'Beast' and he's already nearing his enviable end and to his insanity. Now, I want him to be a asset. A pawn we can use."
"Now how do we do that?"
"Remember he's going insane. I'm sure he's desperate for a solution. That were we come in."
"So we have a cure?" Emerald and Mercury responded simultaneously.
"Yes and no. I think I have a idea on how we can fix it. So, we'll have to lie to him for a while."
"He'll kill us Cinder." Emerald spoke. I sigh, knowing that's a possibility.
"That the risk we have to take. Roman saw some great things when he was fighting. I believe that he'll help us tremendously."
"He murdered White Fang. What will happen when he finds our they work for us?" Mercury asked. I giggle.
"We'll just have to wait and see." We act like normal students however, I couldn't take my eyes off our target. How could a 17-year-old Beast be going through the insanity phase and be so happy? Gray turned his head and his eye met mine. I smiled deviously at him. He blinked or possibly winked at me and I chuckle.
If only I had a interest in you. Then you'd have a chance.
Me, Emerald and Mercury walk down a hall, safety stalking Mr. Gray, his friends had most likely gone off to do they're own trials. After commanding Mercury and Emerald to go back to the dorm, they shrug, or, more like Mercury shrugged. I increase my pace to catch up with my target and I slowly walk up to him. "Gray? Is it?" He stops when I mention his name. I walk sensually up to him and I trail my finger across his chest.
"That's me. And who are you?" He asks, scanning me.
"That isn't important for now. What happened to your eye?" I ask quietly, stepping closer to him and run my hand across his cheek.
"Don't you think your being a bit to forward? Your kinda in my personal space."
"I know you're a Beast." Gray went quiet as soon as I whispered in his ear. This way of getting him on my side isn't helping.
"Who, are, you? No one else really knows." The boy mumbled.
"Oh, I have my ways Gray. I also know what's going on in that lovely head if ours." Gray shoves me to a wall roughly and grabs my shoulders.
"What do you want, Miss Cryptic?"
"To help you. I'm working on a cure known for… helping Beast's who are losing it." I say calmly however, I'm completely nervous. I have no idea what he could do to me if he found out I was lying.
"Your a liar." He moves his hands to my throat. "There is no cure. The only solution is death."
"How would yo-"
"My parents faced that fate." He growled. Fangs were beginning to show and his hair grew more.
"Well, there's a new solution. Come here at 8 pm tomorrow when you wish to understand." I hand him a paper and he releases me. I walk away but stop when I'm just out of viewing distance. "I'm sorry for you loss." I admit.
The next day I patiently wait for the crazy psycho that I'm trying to convince to join me. I sigh as Roman lit a cigar next to me. Neo, his bodyguard, sits on a wooden box. "Do you wanna make this abandoned warehouse more stuffy?" Roman shrugged and continued to inhale his lung killer. We hear distant footsteps and a shadow of a man grew into a figure.
"So, why are we here at a abandoned warehous-" Gray stopped in his tracks a he saw Roman. "You fuckin-"
"No, please Gra-" I try to calm the infuriated boy, but he beats me to the punch. Quite literally actually. He punches Roman square in the face, knocking the cigar and himself to the floor. Neo quickly gets up and readies her weapon but I step in her way. "All of you stop!" I turn to Gray his anger clearly shown.
"What the hell his he doing here? Huh?! You got somethin' to tell me, Miss Mysterous?"
"I will now." Roman and Neo looked at me with worry. "I want you to help us and then we help you."
"Excuse me?" He says anger still showing.
"We have the cure being worked on, however we need your help with certain…things."
"And those things are?"
"Things we need from the military or the academy." Gray groaned in pain and held his head. I look at him in wonder.
Seems the thing in his head is affecting him mentally and slightly physically.
He looks up at me with a evil smile, his eye was somehow a darker black then before. "Sure. Sounds fun." I smile but this seemed way to easy. "This will be interesting…wouldn't you say?" He says walking up to me. I softly shove him away while continuing the smile.
"Sorry handsome but, I don't and probably won't have a interest in you." I joke. Gray chuckles and throws his hands up.
"Ok. Whatever you say Miss…"
"Cinder. Cinder Fall."
