It was a calm morning in central Vale. The birds were chriping, the day cool, and the sky a bright ironically, sky blue, today was the start of the fall.

Today marked a big day.

It was the reckoning to many, the day they dreaded. Some cried. Some whined. Other took the brunt of thier small war head on, while some enjoyed in it. Today...

Was the first day of school.

And a certain redhead was not happy about this. She groaned inwardly as she layed still in bed. She did not want to move a single bit, for fear that the drowsy feeling she loved so much in the mornings would leave her till tomorrow. Yet, she got up, knowing that sooner or later her big sister or her father would come barreling through the door to wake her up.

"WAKE UP RUBES!"

"WAKE UP HONEY!"

As if on cue, they both barged through her door, how the small door could handle all this abuse befounded her and it brought her a moment of joy before she waa interrupted by her sister and father.

"Guysssss, you don't need to come in to wake me up. I can wake up on my own..."

She mumbled out the last part as her family smiled at her. They knew they could just let her wake up on her own, but where's the fun in that? Tai Xiao Long smiled at his daughter Yang while she smiled back then looked at her sister, as she began to pick out what she wanted to wear. She smiled as she found what she wanted to wear on the first day, and pulled out the hidden gun from its compartment in the pocket...Yang and Tai smiled

Mom would've liked this scene...

-Meanwhile-

On the other side of Vale, near the more 'mexpensive area, there was a young girl brushing her hair. She was inside of a large white room, with splashes of pink in random area. She was in front of a moving silver lined mirror, casually brushing her hair. She was humming a song. It was a sweet lullaby, but the others in the house would know it as the noise of terror. No one dared talk to the girl while she was singing this, for fear of losing a limb...or worse.

This girl was known as Velvet Scarlantia.

She was the hairess of the mighty Scarlantia Clan, a clan of fanuas and humans alike who reigned the streets with terror and misery, or at least thats what it was on the outside. On the inside it was much more dire.

A small section of the Scarlantia clan broke of from the main section under the leas of Adam Taurus. He was a unreasonable bull Fanuas that wanted to overthrow the government that was in fact, protected by the Scarlantia Clan.

The clan exists solely to help the goverental bodies to control the populus and in times if dire need, are able to act as proxy leaders if the situation calls for it.

But, for now, Velvet stood there at the mirror, humming away while brushing her long brown locks, making sure to keep the hair out of her bunny ears. Today was the first day of school for Velvet, and she was dreading this day in secret.

In reality, nobody knew about her secret life as part of the Scarlantia Clan. If they did find out, they were 'abolished' or as Velvet soon found out, killed. It was the fate of the many suitors who had either followed her hoke or had been to much for the young girl and the family chose to step in.

There was in reality only one person Velvet really liked, but she knew it would be a lost cuase. The person she liked...was Ruby Rose. She was a girl who had just moved last year to Vale with her father and older sister, who Velvet thought she recognized, but she shook that thought away. The girl was pure by all standards, and innocent as all hell.

"Velvet sweetie, time to go to school."

The voice of her mother penetrated her thoughts as she put her brush on her nightstand before giving her self a lookover to go meet her mother and take the car to school.

Today was going to be a long day indeed...
