I'm Late! I'm late! Who in there right mind is late to beacon on their first day of school!? I've probably missed everything important oh no!
Im Juliet, probably the worst soon to be huntress ever. But professor Ozpin scouted me, I don't know what he was thinking. The only thing I've done is keep watch at my book store late at night. Sure I've fought off a few burglars but it's not any big deal.
Oh also, there are always plenty of Faunus and humans that get into fights in the area where my shop is. I don't know why but hey seem to like/not like that area. But I also stop the fights, mostly because no one else there seems to do anything. No one sticks up for the Faunus either, even though plenty of people come to back up the human. Anyway I'll get in and break them up a bunch. Preferably freezing their feet to the ground with my sword for a few hours till they calm down.
Oh btw, I'm a Faunus myself too. Though like most I hide it, I where little buns at the top of my head to hide my ears, and I keep my tail tucked in a skirt. The buns come from this one character I watched in an old anime when I was little, but they really do work.
Anyway like I said before, professor Ozpin scouted me and now I'm trying my hardest to get to the right place before I'm thrown out! Let alone fighting giant birds and wolfs.
"Ah!" I trip and skid across the stones in a pavilion. My head panged with a painful yet dejavu ish feeling. My choice of weapon, a sword that can shoot out chains and retract them, was flung from it's sheath and stuck point down in the dead middle of the pavilion.
Im sprawled across the smooth and cold tiles, my small cape barely touching the ground as push up with my forearms.
My vision goes white and I see a girl being chased by something...something big. She screams for help and lung out to help her. My vision clears and I find myself lunged across the ground. What happened?
"Nya?" I stare at the sword as the light gleams off a it for a second before I spring up and start sprinting again, snatching the sword from the bit of grass in between tiles as I run.
Now I'm even later than I was before! My foot takes a single step out of the pavilion tiles and Im flipped upside down. I squeeze my eyes shut as everything fades to black in a swirl of nausea.
Nuuuu! I don't have time for crazy things to happen before I even GET THROUGH THE OPENING CEREMONY! I hit solid ground and bend over as my stomach starts spewing from me. I open my eyes and look up.
"nnnnyyy. What happened?" I murmur and blink my eyes awake at the sight of fresh bright green grass. (Not going to mention the other stuff I so curiously left there.) I stand up slowly as the nausea dissapears little by little.
I let out a surprised squeak, seeing students stand around the four towers at the corner of the me explain. In the middle are the tiles that make some sort of school spirit symble I guess, but around it are picnic tables and trash cans, wish I had noticed that earlier, along with fancy street lanterns and one street lantern at the top. The single light is supported by cool looking support beams that totally go with the design of the school.
Wait a sec, everything looks odd though. The students aren't wearing the uniforms for this year and the school looks kinda...different. Maybe the information I got was just inaccurate.
For some reason, though, the student won't come past the four towers that probably host a class room or so on each floor, or maybe just more places to each lunch. They start talking to each other, looking at me with sligh pity, slight like I was a dancing turkey.
"Hey I just threw up, must have been some summer duly though.." I say and freeze as a faint growling fills my ears.
I catch tidbits of what the students are saying now that I'm alert. "Someone should go in...she'll be slaughtered...can't there's literally...surrounding the pavilion...what about professor..." Wh, why are they saying those things? Shaking I turn around and find the source of the growling.
A giant, black and white wolf stands tensed at the other side of the tiles. With it's fangs bared the beast intensifies it's growling, staring me down while I look up at it in fear.
Slowly, my hand moves to my sword and I grip it. Just as I grip my sword the wolf lunges and I'm forced to start running form it around the pavilion.
Students try to break the barrier, but each time they hit ripples are sent through the tainted wall. It's obvious it won't break easily. What's happening anyway? Is this some sort of punishment? Why me? Maybe this is what happens to late kids, I didn't mean to I swear professor Ozpin!
"Bad doggy! Very bad doggy!"
i can sense the wolf gaining ground and myself gradually running out if stamina. No...this can't be. I imagine myself pounding on the barrier begging to be save as the wolf chops me, breaking every bone in my body as it swallows me alive. The students watching shrugging, just a useless Faunus anyway.
No! My entire existence screams. I won't be killed here or now! I jump up and push off an invisible block that I create with the remains of dust scattered suspiciously across the pavilion. I keep going up until Im above the wolf.
Around me are the lamp post I spotted earlier. I whip out my chain from my sword and swing it at the wolf. It clamps down on my un breakable and forever lasting chain. Gracefully but desperately I swing the chain around to wrap around a few lamp post and the one in the middle. This gives me good enough support to trust my body weight on.
Taking a deep breath the block of dust from below my feet disappears and I weight is caught by the chain and I'm swung around the wolf.
Juliet this is your death wish.
"Come and get me Doggy!" I taunt at it, for my first few revolutions it tried to catch me, missing while I move at full speed. After a while I stop spinning and get good ground between me and the wolf, because it's caught in my chain web.
I catch my breath before the barrier is broken in a flash and a man in a fancy suits bolts in with a woman who is in way to nice clothes to be darting around in. The woman performs a final blow on the wolf and it crumbles into nothing, allowing my chains to retract back into my sword.
"Young lady! I. What state of mind were you in to conceive that you could take that on by yourself!?" The woman demands and me, who is still looking around for my right lung responds like this.
"I believe I was throwing up,"
The man, who seems to have a good sense of humor chuckles. "Come. We can speak of this in my office. The rest of you off to your chambers until initiation tomorrow." He says and places a guiding hand on my shoulder.
Too tired to resist I follow him and the busy woman into the school. The let me clean up a bit in the bathroom before I'm in the mans office.
The school looks magnificent, but for some reason nothing at all like it showed in the pamphlet. Everything seems so odd.
"Um sir, do you think I could talk to professor Ozpin, the headmaster?" I ask and the man blinks. I'm sitting in a comfy chair in his office with some nice smelling tea in front of me.
"I am called Professor Junus. Wherever this idea of a different headmaster came from I'd like to hear about it. First things fir-"
"Wait wait! Is this beacon!?" I ask the woman gives me a scolding look for interrupting him but I'm way confused right now.
"Yes, this is beacon. but you are not an enrolled student." He says.
"But I'm Juliet Finch! Professor Ozpin scouted me!" I said and he shook his head.
"I don't think...shes from here Proffessor Junus." The woman says and he sighs.
"I believe your correct. Miss Finch for now, until we figure out this situation of ours you will stay here at the academy. Tomorrow we are having initiation and you will be out into teams. Luckily your arrival...evens things out for us. So we have no problem fitting you in." he says officially and I bolt out of my chair.
"What!? I have to get back..." I trail off.
"Proffessor Junus. I brought the papers you wanted...hey watch out!" Some boy with red hair walks in with a stack of papers. The air around me seems hot and I collapse to the ground, exhausted.
"Mr. June. Could you take her to the infirmary.." is all I hear before everything goes black.
So a relatively short first chapter but I want to get this up tonight and yeah. Hope you like this new fanfiction I'm starting. We'll see how things go! Have a great one!
