AN: I know...I know I should be writing for Woman at the Bar, but...I can't...so...I wrote this. There will probably be more of it...so yeah...more Fallen Petals~ Because Cinder is sexy, and manipulating Ruby is fun. So...Read Review and Enjoy~
Cinder walked down the halls of Beacon like she already owned it, Emerald and Mercury on her tail obediently. Cinder gestured for her two subordinates to hurry off to class. The two bow out and hurry off down a side hallway as Cinder continues towards the library to do some...research in her free period.
Though her confident gait is interrupted by a girl in a red hood side swiped her. Cinder managed to keep her balance, but the girl who was running down the hall didn't fair as well. She stumbled and fell on her side.
"Sorry, but I'm really late!" the girl said as she scrambled to her feet. The bell rang and Cinder watched as she disappeared in a flurry of rose petals. Most of them disappear before they touch the ground, though Cinder manages to catch one of them in the palm of her hand. She recoginzed the cloaked girl from her list of targets. "Ruby Rose...you will be the fallen petal...and I...the fire that will consume you…" Cinder mumbled to herself. She smiled and chuckled darkly as the petal was turned to ash in her hand.
The dark haired woman hid her dark intent again as she continued to the library.
In the library, Cinder sat herself at a computer in the back. She quickly hooked up her scroll to the computer, the hack quickly bringing her to the student database. "So the little rat Roman actually did something right for once. Let's see what I can find…"
She quickly searched through the database, the top first years. "Pyrha Nikos...already have her on my list. Next is...Yang Xiao Long. Machoistic semblance. Daughter of Taiyang Xiao Long. Oh...needs a team. No no. Scheen and Belladonna? No, that would be too close...Let's see...who else. Ah! My little rose. Speed semblance, Daughter of Taiyang Xiao Long and Summer Rose…"
Cinder paused at this information. Summer Rose...deceased, but still a very powerful and well known. That's why she recognized that hood.
"Dear little rose...you just made the top of my list."
Cinder smiled and took out her scroll. Then she decided to actually do the research for her 'classes'. Such simple things, but Cinder didn't know them. She found it pointless, but she didn't need Goodwitch or Ozpin catching on to her.
Though as she's searching for her books, she finds a small girl in a red hood reaching for a book just out of reach. "Here, let me help you," she says softly, in a silky tone.
Ruby looked up as Cinder reached over her, grabbing the book and handing it to the young girl. Ruby smiled. "Thanks," she said gratefully.
"No problem, dear."
"Hey, you're that girl from Haven."
"Yes, my name is Cinder Fall. Its pleasant to meet you, Ruby Rose."
Ruby blushed lightly from Cinder's silky voice. She forgets to ask how the tall dark haired girl knows her name. It seems everyone knows her name.
Cinder smiled down at the little gem who stood blushing beneath her. "Well...have a good time studying…"
"Thanks…"
Despite the parting words, the two ended up studying at the same table, only a seat apart. Cinder couldn't help but glance over at Ruby, forming a plan in her head. Then she noticed something...a way in.
"That's wrong."
Ruby jumped and looked over at Cinder. "Wh-what?"
Cinder smiled kindly, pretending to be nice and kind. She slid into the chair beside Ruby and pointed at the bit she saw. "Ursa don't travel in groups as they get older...but Beowulf do."
"But...the book says…"
"My dear, if you believe everything in a book then you'll never be a good huntress. Trust me. Just put that in your paper."
Ruby looked between the text she was reading and the kind senior that was helping her. She smiled and nodded, erasing what she just writing and replacing it with the information Cinder gave her.
The amber eyed girl put on a smile and returned to her own work on weapons. Though it only takes a minute or two for Emerald and Mercury came in. Cinder stood at the entrance of her teammates and said to Ruby in a silky voice. "Maybe we'll meet again...sometime soon…"
Ruby blushed and nodded, watching as the three walked away.
"Cinder...who was that?" Emerald wondered.
"Just...a gem in the rough," Cinder answered as the library door swung shut.
AN: There...its short, but its the first chapter...and it was finished at...2:00 in the morning and I'm going crosseyed... please don't blame me for any technical errors...its still readible hopefully...anyway, the rating may change later on because Cinder.
