Hi wonderful members of the RWBY fandom I am Admirable Procrastinator though you can call me AP or Anri for short I don't mind either. I am here to give you my wonderful story of Sins and Virtues though the chances of the title changing at some point because I'm never satisfied with my creations might happen as well. I was very hesitant to make this story since most of the time I'm confident about making characters…haha no this one was a trip. Though I had the idea of what I wanted my characters to look like the Semblances and weapons were the hardest things to create because I didn't want something too clunky for their semblances that almost made them like gods and the weapons…well let's just say those were a labor to think up as well and their semblances have major downsides causing this. I put so much into them that developing their personalities came easier than I thought so I am going to give you the wonderful story of Bianca and Ciarra twin faunus siblings just trying to deal with the past to look forwards to the future…even if Ciarra is the pessimistic of the two with Bianca trying to keep them together.
But enough about plot stuff let's get onto what I really know most of you are curious about…pairings. It's a RubyxOC pairing with a dash of WeissxOC along the way, but which sister goes to which only I know the answer. This will be like my other stories also a slow burn building up those lovely awkward stages of finding out you're falling for someone and the wonderful shenanigans that can ensue from those feelings…so just LOVELY SHENANIGANS ALL AROUND. Honestly I am just so giddy to start this story I just have so much to give lol.
This has been in my head for a long time ever since I watched the series and it continued to grow the more I kept up with the series. I had trouble trying to figure out how to handle it though like did I want a team or just one person? Then I finally decided on twins since I could have fun with the concept of their creation and developed them further hence how both Ciarra and Bianca turned out, but I just didn't find the urge to make a full team they just were fine on their own lol so please bear with me on this.
Summary: Twin sisters Bianca and Ciarra have been dealt the darker hand of life until someone was able to show them the light once more. With expert field training that can rival most fourth year Huntresses the girls don't have the social skills to work on with others…so what better way than to invite them to the prestigious Hunting Academy in Vale? Will they be able to adjust to the sudden shift thrusting them into a new type of adventure?
Lol well anyways the summary is simple and sweet not giving away all the secrets I have for these two girls and wow this is my fourth fanfic so a juggling act for the others as well. I might have to take one down since I personally can't handle three at a time, but it has to be one that isn't much of a challenge for me anymore. Sooo…yeah! I can't wait to hear what you guys think about it and just all in all I love the RWBY series. I got introduced to it by a friend and never really delved into animated shows on the internet, but once I watched the first episode I was instantly hooked on the series. Seriously can't wait for Volume Six to come out so I can eagerly await new episodes in anticipation for what is going to happen next like god its nerve racking to wait for it.
And it is Rated T for now, but it might go up to M in later chapters because of Ciarra's mouth and my descriptions of injuries soo…forewarning I will be touching on tough subjects later on.
Uh…anyways onto the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. That was created my Monty and continues on to be a good show by Rooster Teeth. I only own Bianca and Ciarra along with their weapons, backstories. Also songs mentioned in the story are also not owned by me they are written by talented people and sung by the same.
ON WITH OUT LOVELY INTRODUCTION
Prologue: A Hunting We Will Go
It was oddly quiet in this part of the forest the trees swaying softly in the breeze that fluttered in the night sky while crickets chirped happily around sensing no danger what so ever that could harm their precious little worlds. Leaves drifted away from the parent branches of the trees dancing along the wind for a moment only to finally hit the forest floor disturbing the grass for a moment the sound of someone walking their boots crunching against the broken branches and leaves scattered all around. A lone being melded with the shadows created by the mixture of the moonlight above and the trees cluttering the area going on seen for a few moments only to appear a few feet away continuing along their determined path a the scattered and bleeding moonlight shifted through the holes present above casting light on the figure traversing through the forest ground below. Long black hair flowed down their back framing their heart shaped face while thin lips seemed to frown with distaste about something or someone while one lone gunmetal blue eye glanced around at the world around lazily trying to take in the scenery her right eye seeming to be obscured by her black hair being parted a certain way to conceal it. Her slim figure almost was swallowed by the darkness around her the black shirt she wore clung tightly to her upper body while a grey leather jacket flowed unzipped revealing grey pouches that thumped against her chest her arms covered barely showing any of her porcelain skin. Her stature had a slight slouch to it like she had been used to looking down towards someone her blue jeans already scraped up at the cuffs while her boots dragged aimlessly across the ground hitting a few bare patches of grass tossing a small amount of dust in the air. A black and grey object glinted in the moonlight baring strange markings that melted into intricate designs gently thumped against her hip her left hand reaching down towards it her fingers brushing against the cold yet comforting metal only for the feeling to soon melt away at the sound of a branch snapping nearby.
She halted her process, eye scanning across the path before her spotting no noteworthy changes to the area around her, but the sudden rustle of a bush in the distance caught her attention her lips to curve downwards more slipping into a look of disinterest. A small sigh escaped from her throat moving towards the bush taking in that she was traveling more into the darkness created by the absence of light though this wasn't what irritated her in the slightest. Her eye glanced around at the darkness around her trying to pick up any sign of life through the shroud it was starting to be unlikely that any normal animal would be out here in the dead of night normal people would be sleeping though she wasn't much for the normality. She sniffed the air gently trying to distinguish if the thing ahead in the bush happened to be a threat or a rabbit woken up from its slumber from her romping around when a low screeching noise entered her ear causing her to visibly wince a soft hiss escaping from her throat reaching her right hand up towards it her fingers gently tapping metal piece her voice showing hints of annoyance.
"What?! What could you possibly need right now! I thought I said radio silence until I spotted what we were looking for?!" She hissed out in a whisper her tone holding an air of anger to it her mind distracted from the thing that was moving around only a few feet ahead of her. Her face slowly morphed into a sense of regret hearing a light yawn screeching off the earpiece causing her expression to scrunch up once more.
'Sorry I thought it was shut off…have you seen any signs of Grimm? The townspeople said there were a few sightings of Ursa in the area, but only a few members have been able to give us a positive ID.' The person on the other end responded her childish voice sounding tired while another yawn escaped through the earpiece maybe it would have been best to leave her at the place they were staying…the black haired girl shook her head already fighting off the urge to yawn as well, but it was going to take a lot more than that to admit she was also tired. She walked closer to a nearby tree her hand grazing against the bark trying to see if there were any territorial markings, but none seemed to be torn off feeling bits of the older parts peeling off while she ran her fingers across. 'I think this might be a bust so you should start heading back now…oh maybe I can put some tea on the kettle what sounds be-.'
A loud snap from behind caught her attention causing her to spin on her heels pulling the metal object off of her hip to pressing a unseen button hearing the metal creak in response like it was protesting for a moment shifting into a glaive a large damascus steel blade glinting in a spot of moonlight. She heard another branch snap this time closer and louder than before a soft grumble of a warning hummed in her ears ducking down from a sudden swipe aimed towards her head the sudden burst of air ruffled the black hair on her head. The sound of tree bark being crunched by a claw clued her in on what she was dealing her eye glancing up to spot the familiar red eyes of a Grimm staring down towards her direction a loud roar echoed in the air shaking the leaves above. An unamused look appeared on her face rolling out of the way taking a slice at the beast to get its attention before rushing back towards the path her free hand reaching up towards her ear once more while she booked it away from the creature hearing it stopping up behind her.
"Bianca get ready I'm bringing one right to you!" She shouted bursting out of the darkness and down the path once again hearing the Ursa roaring behind her covering her early warning towards the person on the other end only to hear nothing in return. A soft curse rolled off her tongue while she kept moving forward towards the opening she had spotted earlier wondering if Bianca had even heard her order on the other end or did the Ursa cover the sound of her voice turning on her heels once more before back pedaling the rest of the way spotting that the beast was much closer than she anticipated. She brought her glaive up to block another swipe being pushed back into the clearing her feet stumbling under her for a moment glaring at the beast that stumbled into the moonlight.
It barely had any white and red armor coverage over its body meaning it had to be a young one though it was a bit hard to estimate how old it could be, but she had to shake those thoughts from her mind focusing on the battle at hand. She started to circle the beast watching its red eyes following her the whole time another rumble escaping from its throat, but neither decided to take the first move the blade of her glaive scratching across the grass and dirt causing dust to slowly rise from the ground. Her eye scanned her opponent up and down trying to see if the beast would make the first move, but she didn't have to wait long the Ursa moved towards her once more at a quick pace her feet side stepping out of the way twirling her glaive in her hand for a moment before jabbing the blade dragging it alone the left side of its body hearing a growl of pain to escape from its maw. She grinned slightly knowing this was going to be too easy…maybe she didn't need Bianca's help after all for this though her grin soon faltered knowing she needed to focus hearing his voice echoing in her mind gritting her teeth not wanting to hear the old man scold her on her methods. The Ursa rumbled at her again making her take a stance towards the beast waiting for it to barrel at her again though it did something unexpected standing on it's back legs roaring loudly though this time it wasn't a menacing…it was signaling others it was in danger.
A flood of curses escaped from her mouth her head whipping back and forth spotting red eyes flickering around her from the darkness more rumbles filling her ears signaling there were a decent amount of Ursas slowly started to sink out of the dark woods armor covering random parts of their bodies. She could feel her teeth grinding against each other out of anger her finger once again reaching for an unseen button while moving out of the way of an attack coming from behind the weapon in her hand shifting once more into a long barrel shotgun the glaive blade becoming a bayonet on the end of the muzzle the blade pointed near the one that charged at her. A free hand reached for a magazine slamming it quickly into the proper port while dodging another attack from the Ursa that had charged at her feeling the stock resting against her left shoulder the heaviness swelling from the touch of cold padding her eye steeled over full of focus and intent for bloodlust. She waited for the right moment jabbing the blade deep into the Ursa's throat her finger placed calmly outside the trigger guard before it moved in one swift motion pulling it back while a loud bang exploded from the barrel the Ursa's cry of pain was soon swallowed by silence the sound of something thumping softly to the ground a few feet away made look up taking in that she had separated the creature's head from its shoulders. A grin formed on her features like she enjoyed the chaos for a moment rolling out of the way of the collapsing body to fire off towards another Ursa blasting off the creatures arm before another shot rang out ripping a few decent holes into its chest before it shuttered and collapsed in a heap.
Her eye scanned the battlefield spotting four more Ursas roaming around the area snarling at her while they tries to circle in closer her she rolled her shoulders hearing a satisfied pop echoing through the air for a moment bringing the stock back against her left shoulder her eye looking down the barrel towards one of the nearest creatures of Grimm waiting for the exact moment to strike, but something or a certain someone beat her to the punch. An arrow whizzed across her vision for a second striking the beast in the eye causing a guttural scream to escape from its maw only for another to hit into the upper part of its mouth the beast standing still for a moment stumbling while ice slowly started to poke through its head only to crash towards the ground. The other three creatures soon were attentive to the area around them trying to find out the origins of the shots, but you really should give much credit to the creatures of Grimm another spout of arrows started to flurry towards the furthest two ice continuing to spread across the ground giving the girl the distraction that was needed rushing towards them her weapon once again changing back to a glaive stowing away the half empty magazine before getting behind an Ursa that had reared back in surprise towards the ice shoving the blade through its throat silencing its sudden cries pulling it out once again and slicing the beast's head off for good measure another black body lied still on the ground the moon suddenly began to be swallowed by a cloud over head the shadows soon started too pool out from the forest…good another advantage this hunt was too easy.
Numbness started to spread across her right arm her body shuttering at the familiarity of her semblance drawing on her own aura to at least be able to complete the task before her window was too late. Her eye seemed to flourish at the sudden warm surging around her feeling her own aura pulsing slightly for a moment watching the darkness around her twitched anxious for her command…or was it hungry for more of her aura? A breeze rustled by her the hair in front of her other eye was pushed away for a moment revealing a haunting red eye and a large white scar travelling horizontally down, but it was only visible for a moment her hair settling back down a small sly smile formed on her thin lips. Her semblance slowly snaked out of the darkness stretched greedily out towards one of the last remaining creatures of Grimm a resonation of hunger escaped from her lips with a soft shutter, but this wasn't her doing knowing that the shadows were craving for a feast…and a feast they were going to receive. Her sly smile turned into a full on grin filled with eagerness for the job to be done already watching the shadows piercing the creatures hide with no problem sluggishly bringing its prey into the darkness hoping that the shadows would be satisfied for now. The cloud rolled away the bright moonlight revealing an empty field the wind fluttering the grass around her off put by the stillness that had washed over the battlefield. The other Ursa didn't run off did it? Her eye slowly glanced around a sudden sensation of someone watching from behind made her turn on her heels only to see that no one was there though the feeling wasn't going away her eye still lingering towards the darkness in the trees the Ursa that had begun the chase had disappeared from her sight…a sudden thump caught her attention turning back away for a moment her gunmetal eye looked back towards what had fallen spotting another person strolling towards her their gold and white weapon glittered in the moonlight while it slowly shifted back from its bow form changing into a large lance the person carrying it wearing a large smile of glee on their face.
Her short grey hair curled around her heart shaped face her gunmetal blue and red eyes seemed to sparkle in the moonlight towards their apparent victory against the Ursas or was she more eager to tell the villagers that they wouldn't have to worry about the Grimm lurking around their homes anymore it was honestly hard to tell. Her stature was much shorter than her own maybe an inch or two shorter than her though the cat ears that adorned hear head made up for what was missing height wise. They twitched curiously possibly picking up the sound of crickets chirping once more glad that the sudden danger had disappeared picking up more sounds deeper in the woods. A quiver thumped against her back while she walked a slim blue-grey tank top hugged tightly to her hourglass figure a brown trench coat fluttered loosely in the air swaying with every step the girl took towards her a white battle skirt was around her waist with mismatched stockings on each leg while a pair of comfortable flats adorned her feet. She seemed to have a skip in her step, but an unease traveled across her features for a moment wanting to say something her hand gripping onto the lance's handle before rushing forward thrusting the weapon above the other girl's head not even spotting a flinch from the sudden motion while the last lone Ursa had the other end of the sharp object shoved through the back of its unarmored skull. Carefully the new girl pulled the weapon out of the monster's head hearing it thump loudly onto its back the battle finally over a glitter of relief passed through the grey-haired girl's features.
"You really need to be more careful Ciarra if I hadn't of been here you would have been toast." The girl commented pressing a hidden button on the handle of the lance watching the weapon slowly change into a more appropriate shape so she could carry it with ease attaching it to her back next to her quiver of arrows a small and calming smile appeared on her features. "I think the village leader will be please to know that the Ursa will no longer bother his citizens…Ciarra?"
"Why didn't you answer back Bianca?" The tone that spilled out of Ciarra's mouth sounded cold, but there was a small bout of worry mixed into the words making the smile on the other girl's face widen a bit more.
"Awe you were worried about me? I feel flattered sister, but I think you could have handled yourself without my help." She responded back shrugging her shoulders towards the silent one of the two knowing that she had a few more words to say, but the black-haired girl bit her lip trying to hold back whatever was on her mind. "Besides I really didn't like the idea in the first place, you using yourself like bait for to bring the Ursa out? Oz wouldn't be too happy to hear abo-."
"What Ozpin's opinions are on my tactics are his own concerns I don't need you to turn into the old man as well." The girl snapped back though she picked up on her hostility quickly melted away into regret looking to the side avoiding her sister's gaze for a moment hearing a soft yawn escape from her throat the sudden bout of anger that swelled in her chest started to slowly disappear replaced with a more caring tone. "Come on let's get back to the village you need rest and tomorrow we might start heading west there have been a few sightings of a large group of Grimm moving down there."
The grey-haired girl just nodded slightly another yawn fighting past her lips following after her sister giving a worried glance towards her direction…was she having nightmares again? Now it was her turn to bite at her bottom lip watching the girl stagger for a moment taking in how she looked from earlier the bags that were under her eye were apparent enough to tell that she hadn't been sleeping, but it wasn't a sure sign that she was having them again. She didn't spot any signs of her staggering again the whole time they continued down the path though the thoughts still lingered in her mind the more they continued back towards their temporary home…home it was odd hearing that word anymore did they even have a home anymore? No that wasn't something to think about right now Oz always welcomed them back with open arms no matter what argument he and Ciarra would get themselves into though on a few occasions though this time they were more on a skill building field trip or whatever her sister called it when they started only a few months ago. Why they hadn't gone to a training school was beyond either of their comprehensions though Oz had repeatedly avoided the subject, but the two had learned to stop questioning him…there was no need to in her eyes. A small sigh escaped from her throat making the other girl glance back only to earn a small wave to ignore her while another yawn ripped from her throat.
The trees around them soon started to thin out the further they went down the path before the dirt started to mix with large stones placed there by either human or faunus hands a long time ago. The streets of the village were empty of any life the lights around them humming softly with the sound of moths bouncing off the glass trying to get at the brightness underneath, but neither of the girls seemed to be interested in the noises around them until a soft buzzed caught their attention both simultaneously reaching for their pockets pulling out their scrolls and popping them open revealing that Ciarra's was the one that had recently gone off with only a few seconds later another buzz echoed signaling Bianca had gotten a message as well. The only person who even knew their scroll IDs was the man who had given them to the girls expecting at least one of them to keep in touch with him though it was usually Bianca and on rare occasions Ciarra would at least send him a small update. Both looked to see that he had left a few messages earlier while they were out hunting, but this one contained a voice file so it had to be serious right? Each girl seemed to show signs of hesitation towards what they should do and who should answer it, but they were getting closer to the tiny little place that they village leader had graciously offered to them after hearing they were Huntresses...though that was a bit of a lie since they weren't fully there yet.
The little cottage wasn't much to look at aside from the door being utterly destroyed and half of the roof was missing, but the girl's honestly didn't mind since they had been in worse conditions than this. From what the village leader had said it was from a Grimm attack a few months ago, but they hadn't decided on rebuilding the house just yet since the family who had lived there previously had already up and left after the attack was over so it just sat decrepit and unloved until they showed up. Ciarra carefully hopped over the broken part of the door her boot gently tapping against the ruined oak while Bianca hesitated a moment before taking better care not to ruin her flats or even her stockings for that matter her ears flattening with worry. Vines had slowly started to creep up through the floorboards and scattered themselves along the ground not a piece of furniture had been left in the building, but they had only brought their traveling packs and two separate sleeping bags that were already laid out near the remnants of a fire pit with specks of a dying fire from the night before lingered parts of the ash had a haze of life clinging to the embers. Bianca made a move towards the fire pit grabbing the grey kettle that was placed beside it earlier in the day and a few small pieces of firewood scattering them across the ash for a moment only to reach for her pack digging through it to find the matches. She started to hum softly to herself while looking through the tattered pack while Ciarra stood hesitantly in the middle of the abandoned area staring down at the voice message left by Oz her brain slowly eating away at if she should open it or not knowing her sister was much better at talking to the old man, but she shook it off putting her scroll away.
She moved from her spot finally getting the courage to seeing her sister had already gotten the fire started still humming to herself though the tune was hard to decipher since she was butchering it without even uttering a word. She grabbing the travel kettle and putting two tea bags in first before adding the water finally placing it down on a wire mat to keep its distance from the ashes below. The two waited patiently for the tea to boil her sister still humming softly to herself and looking at her scroll hesitation flashed across her miscolored eyes for a moment though Ciarra didn't care she possibly was trying to find a video or something to watch while they waited, but the urge to ask her had started to eat away at her mind. She hated being curious like this it was against how she thought in the first place it was Bianca's job to be curious since she was the more silent and brooding type, but it had already eaten away at her mind when a rough sigh escaped from her lips looking towards her sister once more before speaking.
"So…do you want to open the voice message or are you just going to keep pretending to be interested in what you're doing on your scroll?" She asked in a sheepish tone already embarrassed for even asking her sister to open it, but it was too late to even go back now seeing that her sister hadn't even closed the message in the first place confirming her suspicions that she might listen to it later. While her sister fiddled with the scroll trying to put the volume up high enough for either of them to hear the tea kettle started to whistle softly signaling that it was almost done making her reach for the mugs attached to her pack the Beacon Academy symbol emblazed on the one side. The whistling started to grow louder reaching her hand over to release the steam finding herself humming the same tune her sister was earlier finally remember which tune it was. You May be the Next*…it was a haunting tune they used to sing when they were younger not understanding the meaning behind it until later on in life, but it still held a bit of merit to their lives know both past and present though this would be lingering on the negative aspects. Her humming soon stopped hearing her sister finally able to get the voice message to play hearing Oz starting to speak while focusing on the task at hand.
'Bianca and Ciarra it is good to hear that you both are doing alright on your little expedition to hone your skills as Huntresses. I've been hearing many good things from the villages and caravans you have helped through your few months out on the road.' Oz's soft voice droned out of the scroll hearing small bits of pride in his voice was nothing new to the girls, but there was a hint of something else in his tone. Though he soon got straight to the point of why he even sent the message in the first place much to Ciarra's disappointment. 'I…am very proud for both of you, but I believe in a class setting you two could thrive even more. The new school year at Beacon hasn't started yet and you two will be arriving just in time for it to begin if you take me up on the offer. Please consider my offer once more and Ciarra please include your sister in on the discussion. I hope to see you both at Beacon's Opening Ceremony along with a message to tell me you're heading this way. Until next time girls both of you keep an eye on each other out there.'
"Wait what does he mean by include…he sent you a message didn't he?" Bianca accused a frown forming on her features as the other avoided her gaze holding out a hot mug of tea towards her sister the latter taking it from her grasp. "Is that why were out on this expedition? So you can prove a point?"
"I'm…not proving a point Bianca we've never been around that many people our age. We've trained enough outside of a combat school that we should at least be considered Huntresses already, but I don't think it would be safe." Ciarra responded in a meek tone, but the more she spoke the coldness entered her voice her lone gunmetal blue eye looking towards her sister with a mixture of emotions running through. "The humans might not be too kind to either of us if we attend. I don't want to start fights if I don't have to trying to protect us from anything they throw our way."
"That's a lie you're always looking for a fight with Grimm and humans alike don't think I won't include faunus in that mixture. We maybe decent on the battlefield, but we still lack certain tactics that we could learn in school sis…besides I'd be the only one really getting picked on you can pass for human." Bianca tried to sound reassuring, but her own voice faltered a bit from its positive attitude placing her mug on the ground her fingers fidgeting trying to build her confidence back up. "I say we should go it gives us an excuse to grow as people and learn some new things that we wouldn't know if we continued only just working in the field. We might actually make lasting friendships sis…maybe it won't be so bad?"
Ciarra bit her lip trying not to show weakness, but her sister was already causing her to cave giving her the pleading look. Her cat ears flatted against her head while her eyes widened giving her a helpless feeling making her turn away taking a small sip of her tea feeling the bitter liquid traveling down her throat trying to weigh out more cons than pros towards going to Beacon, but even that was becoming hard. She still felt hesitation building in her mind at the thought of being around others her mind starting to linger on old memories that she tried to bury deep inside her, but a soft and gentle touch jolted her back to reality seeing that Bianca had moved from her spot placing her hand over her free hand. A low and bitter sigh escaped from her throat trying to ignore the relief that was flooding through her body at her sister once again saving her for the second time tonight placing her mug next to her sister's on the ground.
"Fine…we'll head out at in a few hours so we can actually get there on time, but if anything happens at that damn school we are leaving without a second thought. I don't know what Oz is planning for us when we get there…" She gave off a gruff tone though this didn't stop her sister from letting out a squeal of delight her arms wrapping around her sister's upper body into a tight hug. Ciarra rolled her eyes before returning the hug her mind already thinking of what might go wrong, but she could feel the positive flow of energy rolling off her own sibling's aura.
"I'll start packing and the next town we reach that has a shuttle we are taking it. I can't wait this is going to be our best adventure yet I can feel it in my ears!" her sister spoke happily a wide grin appearing on her face going towards the fire and dousing it with some of the remaining tea knowing the rest would be put in a thermos on one of the girl's packs. She paused for a moment looking towards the village outside wondering if she should leave a note or something telling them where they had gone, but they had gotten the leader's personal scroll information so…maybe sending him a note wouldn't hurt.
Ciarra watched her sister scurry around the area frantically picking up the items and typing a response to their sudden disappearance to the leader her fingers tapping furiously against her scroll. The items that had placed around their temporary camp were soon picked up with haste while she tried to think of something to do…her mind once again started to linger on the chance of seeing Ozpin once again knowing the last time they talked ended on a sour note. She didn't know what the old man was planning, but from the sounds of his voice he had a hidden motive for asking the girls to return to the school though even that couldn't be called home for them. The tall spires of the school flooded her memories at the thought of stepping foot back on the campus again wondering if any of the faces had changed since they had been there…what four years ago? They would be joining the up and coming fresh students out of the local combat schools all wanting the same thing to become the protectors of the world. She snorted softly knowing that Bianca didn't hear it in her frantic back and forth across the creaking old floors…Protectors of the World huh? That was a fairy tale the old man tried push forwards towards most of the students that went to the school both of them included. Many Hunters anymore were just in it for the fame that came along with it not protecting the world from some ancient evil unless money was involved the words already souring her thoughts. Bianca always wanted to be like the heroes in the stories their parents used to read to them before bed, but whenever she was asked what she wanted to be it was always the same…she really didn't know the answer. Yes she wanted to fight Grimm and keep people safe, but was there something more to the idea than just that? Was there no conviction to her cause and if so…did she share the same ambitions that she had seen in other Hunters and Huntresses that they had met through their young lives.
She stood up grabbing her pack from the ground and slugging it over her shoulder trying not to linger on the thoughts buzzing through her mind knowing the answers would one day be revealed to her giving her sister a fleeting glance...as long as they had each other there was nothing to fear about the future. They both would go on an explore the world to their hearts content after getting through Beacon slaying Grimm wherever they went off to always staying by each other's side. It made her sound selfish true, but Bianca was the only thing she cared about in this world and nothing would ever change that though wanting to protect her sister from anything and everything just came with the territory. From what they had been through it had almost become second nature her eye glazed over with memories flooding into her head ones that she wished would disappear the sounds of chains scraping across the floor and screams echoed in her mind for a moment before the sound of fingers snapping to get her attention brought her back to reality. Bianca stood ready giving her sister a worried look words fighting to form in the back of her throat wondering what could be on her sibling's mind only to earn a small wave signaling she was okay for now giving a small reassuring smile or what she could muster with one corner of her mouth tilted up in an awkward position.
She giggled softly linking her arm around her sister's feeling her stiffen at the sudden sensation of being touched, but her body soon relaxed giving off a rough sigh not knowing how she should really feel about stepping back onto the grounds of Beacon Academy…and seeing Oz again. An odd buzzing fluttered in her stomach her eye glancing down towards her gut wondering what it was, but being unable to pinpoint what this feeling might be. The words came out of her mouth as if she was speaking aloud to herself utterly forgetting that her sibling was there though it was directed towards her also wanting her opinion on the matter if possible/
"You know…I have a weird feeling building up in my gut." She spoke softly to her sister the girl glancing at her from the corner of her eye the red gleaming in the darkness.
"Hm is it a good or bad feeling? Your intuition is never wrong so I want to hear it." The grey haired girl replied back eagerly awaiting the answer her eyes shining once again in the moonlight squeezing her sister's arm for comfort. Ciarra was hesitant to answer her eye looking up towards the moon seeing the scattered pieces floating aimlessly above in the sky while glittering stars gleamed alongside trying to find the words to describe what she was feeling finally uttering the words that escaped past her lips with a sudden air of confidence to them.
"I don't know yet...but I want to find out."
Hi again. This was short I know I am terrible at making my prologues even a decent length with this one ending at possibly ten pages including the authors notes. I am curious on what you guys think of my OCs and how the story is written at the moment so please don't be afraid to review if you want to. I will tell you this won't be frequently updated in the slightest so the next chapter might not come out for a while since I have to work out how everything will go.
*You May be Next is from a story called Stories to Tell in the Dark. I loved reading it when I was a child, yes it's weird I know, but I revel in the scary shit from my childhood so it is a haunting tune about your mortality. It is also called The Hearse Song that became popular during the WWII era…you know it being a unknown suspicion that you might die during then.
I love my darlings though honestly I could tweak their stories a bit more if I wanted to, but that is a battle for another time. I'm not giving too much away about their backstories yet and I really don't want to do so you as a reader gets to unravel that along the way, but yes Ciarra is a faunus. I won't tell you what kind since that is going to be a fun surprise so please speculate if you want to. You will learn the names of their weapons later on in the next chapter…whenever I am able to publish it though if you are reading this and it is up congrads!
Um…I don't know how to finish this aside from favorite and review to stay updated on when I am able to get the next chapter up. Hope you enjoyed their introduction to this series and I look forward to having you, the reader enjoy more once I am able to delve deeper.
ALSO who is hyped for Volume Six?! The Adam Short like…wow I loved it, but I still don't enjoy him as a character. Too much psychopathic tendencies for me as a character, but still pumped!
