Most of the time when I fall asleep I wake up right where I left myself, safe in my bed with only the daily routine to care about, however, that was not the case when my eyes opened to a whole other place in existence.
It was red, red everywhere. Weird. My room was bland white with blue, but red? No.
My curiosity made me sit up with confusion, and a lot of it. Specially when I felt a cool breeze, soft leaves in my hands, and birds chirping randomly.
I was in a field of red trees and leaves for miles and miles, my eyes almost popped out of my face! This was not happening! Who did this? And why? Probably my stupid roommate's boyfriend again.
I sighed heavily, and when I mean heavy I mean the 'I should rethink my life' sigh. I yawned, stretched, rubbed my eyes—
"Mm, Hello?" A sheepish boy's voice asked, from behind me.
I immediately spun around and saw a blonde with white armor that looked real, as realistic as the sword hanging on his waist. He held a face of concern as he looked at me.
It was official; I was moving out of that stupid apartment and back to my parents. At least I would have peace and quiet. Oh wait, no I wouldn't.
"Who are you? And what are you doing out here?" He reminded me of Jaune Arc from RWBY, But what would a cosplayer be doing in the middle of the forest.
"Huuuuuhhh..." was all that came out, I glanced down at my clothes, literally my pjs. Well I didn't wear typical pjs, I just looked like I was wearing black pants and a shirt but with no shoes. "Why are you cosplaying?" I asked, fixing my hair.
"Huh? What's cosplay?" Man he even sounded like him... wait. No! This guy was in on the prank.
"Ok, I've had enough, Richard! I want out! I'm sick of your stupid pranks!" I yelled in the air, my anger was becoming more and more clear.
"Sorry? Who are you yelling at?" The cosplayer was a big, big puppy, but luckily I wasn't affected by puppy charm.
"This is a prank again." I huffed, folding my arms and taking my mad stance.
"Prank? Oh very funny guys, ok you got me, you can come out now." Jaune awkwardly laughed. "Guys?" He asked, unsure after a moment of silence.
"Ok I'm super confused!" I said.
"I know! Me too!" The blonde scratched in a Jaune way. "Is this a prank or not??"
"I thought you were pranking me?" I asked, looking him in the eyes.
"For what? I don't even want to be here! You know what let's start over!" He raised his voice. "I'm Jaune Arc, and you are?"
I'm sorry, I had to laugh. Either this guy was insane or I was dead. There was no way I was in Remant. Literally no way!
Yet I found it super hard to keep laughing like I was when something big black and noisy came from the trees.
"What? Why are you laughing?" 'Jaune' asked, puzzled by my sudden change in mood.
"What is that?" A high suspicion of "is that a Grimm????" Was becoming higher and higher by the second.
"Grimm. You need to get out of here." Jaune ordered; completely changing from puppy to guard dog. You know what, he is a puppy.
"What the actual f-!!" I was cut off by an Ursa lunging towards me with full force.
I run out of the way but immediately looked back. It was a real Grimm, a real legit Grimm from the anime. Saying wtf wasn't enough to describe the panic building up.
First of all, I'm dead, second, oh my god he wasn't lying he actually is Jaune, third; how, and fourth; what the fuck!
Jaune had to fight with him being well... himself.
"Think, Null, think!" I pulled my long hair. "Wait! Forever fall forest! That's it! Ruby and everybody are here!" I whispered to myself. "Jaune I'm gonna get help!" I yelled.
"Hurry!" He grunted through the pressure of fighting an Ursa in a shield on claw battle.
I ran as fast as possible, no longer caring about anything but Jaune, this didn't happen in the show! What do I do? Where was I going?? Damnit!!
Soon I heard a deep voice yell out "Nora." And knew exactly who it was. I shot towards them with all my energy, however I thought I'd be slower than how fast I was going.
It was like everything was racing by and I was moving even faster. Within seconds I was right on top of them. Not knowing how to stop the speed I crashed into a tree.
Without hesitation I got back up, it definitely caught all of JNPR's attention. "Jaune! He's in trouble!" I managed to blurt.
Pyrrha dropped everything; "Where?"
"This way!" I ran back, but not as fast as before, I didn't even know what I did.
When we got there Jaune was still holding it off, however his bully was also there on the ground like the show.
"Crap, crap, crap!" He began to run but the Grimm was too fast, making Jaune block the hit with his shield.
"Oh, no!" Pyrrha almost whispered, seeing him fight it off alone.
When Ruby was about to prepare to kill it Pyrrha immediately stopped her and told her to wait.
As the grimm was about to deliver a blow, Pyrrha moved Jaune's shield to deflect the claw.
"Huh... what?" Ruby asked, in shock.
"How did you...?"
"Well, Ruby has her speed, you have your glyphs, my semblance is polarity." Pyrrha explained, with a smug expression.
"You can control polls." Ruby quietly wowed.
"No you dunts, it means she has control over magnetism!" Weiss bickered.
"Magnets are cool too." Ruby whispered again.
It was clear; they forgot I was there.
"Wait, where are you going?" Ruby asked, as Pyrrha was about to walk away.
"Yeah, we got to tell them what happened."
"We could... or perhaps we could just keep it our little secret." Pyrrha smiled, making me smile. Which then made me sad and scared, no one forget.
"Speaking of secrets, who are you?" Weiss turned with a head tilt and twisted lips.
Oh no, Weiss. Weiss, the Weiss, Weiss ok ok ok. Mmmmm cool down. Cool down, I am not cool, she's the ice queen. Anywho...
"My names' Null." I tried monotone but it just sounded like I was nervous.
"How did you know Jaune was in danger?" Pyrrha questioned, stepping closer along with the others.
"Where did you come from?" Weiss's crystal blue eyes narrowed.
"Why don't you have weapons?" Ruby smiled.
I sighed, them questioning me and me just tagging along with them wasn't going to work. I needed to find my level head, and someone who could help. "Look, I..." and the best option was Ozpin. "Mmm, this might sound weird and all but I need to talk with your headmaster."
After some concerned and suspicious looks; "Why?" Ruby rose (ok I'm as terrible as Yang) an eyebrow.
I sighed, long day here I come.
It was a long day, even after I found Goodwitch, luckily she took me to Beacon, but didn't exactly want me to.
By that time it was dark, the city lights of Vale lit up some of the room. It was rather dark, except for a small lamp on a desk.
There he was, writing something down on a long white sheet of paper, he let himself hide in the shadows, the gleam from his glasses still shined, however.
A chair slide, and he stood up, before I saw Ozpin's lean face I saw the shine from the small glasses.
He made eye contact, his stare seemed to see straight through me, I don't know how long we looked in each other's eyes but I could see he was tired but never showed it, he was suspicious but didn't allow that side to see day.
"Welcome to beacon, Ms.—" Ozpin's voice was exactly the same, a soothing welcoming tone. "I'm afraid I don't quite know who you are." He amused, putting up a small smile.
"My names' Null."
