Notes: yeah that first one was short but that's how I feel intros tend to go this however is the real start to the story revolving around a whole cast of OCs with some RWBY favorites. And now to the story enjoy.

POV Graham Major

The day before.

"Mom stop I am a hundred percent ok and ready for this." I turn towards the adorable whine of a white haired girl with silver eyes dressed all in black, a leather jacket covers her black shirt and her pants are a skin tight leather as well, the Angel of death as the community named her from birth. Standing above her is the Second in command here Ruby Rose, a redhead whose light shines bright even to my Grimm senses. I never met the girl but the rumors of the daughter of the headmaster and her wife were very common gossip in town. Of how she is theirs by blood and how she lacks a divide between her two halves.

I decide to walk away feeling the aura and reading the undertone of natural dark flowing from the girls that is truly bone chillingly scary.

"Hey Graham, ready to start school up now that we are cleared and eligible for it?" I notice a man approaching who is only about an inch shorter than me with brown hair and blue eyes, but what let's me know who it is, is the tacky tropical t-shirt way to large for his gangly build. My friend Malachai wraps an arm around me as he closes the distance. We became friends quickly upon arriving to the island seeing that we both knew we were going to have our lives totally rewritten two years ago.

"No I'm honestly scared looks like we have lady death in our class and I would rather be hibernating come winter." I say with a yawn but by reading Malachai I can tell he felt my fear.

"Aww come on the girl can't be that scary and there is no way she is their daughter by blood I mean aside from it being two women aren't hybrids sterile?" He says casually but awkwardly noting that the redheaded woman looked our way as if hearing our conversation.

I lean in and whisper "We might want to change the subject looks like Ms. Rose is on to us." As I look up I see her approaching us with a smirk dragging the shorter girl by a crimson hood.

"Hello Mister Major, Mister Goshay" she says with a scary look that just promises humiliation if we slip up. "Nice to see you boys kicking and ready to start up at Grimm. You should probably head in soon scheduling and the headmistress' speech are about to begin. And you too young lady it doesn't matter if you can mirror your mother's welcoming speech word for word you still have to bear through it." With that Ms. Rose pushes the girl through the doors of the main entryway leading us in.

"Okay maybe she is their daughter that resemblance is downright scary." Malachai whispers as we entering keeping an eye on the girl. "But damn is she cute."

"You are the only one I know who would not get scared away even with that aura of darkness and her relationship to those two women." I sigh finding a chair in what was a gymnasium remodeled to represent an auditorium for the incoming class. As kids move in I notice a few kids back from the facility we were at for recovering from our Grimm bites, and some of those kids just made me irritable.

"Graham old friend why not grab me a seat you know for old times sake huh what do ya say friend." Brandon Grif says in such a sarcastic, manipulative way as he walks over and slings an arm awkwardly over my shoulders which requires him to stand up on his toes and practically use me as a crutch. His brown eyes alight with mischief as his green hair fails into his face.

"I'll pass but I can see one all the way over there." I say calmly and with a hint of laughter as I pull him off and point his head to the opposite side of the room and drop him.

"Aww come on." He whines but wisely walks away as Malachai starts twirling a ring on his middle finger. As he walks away though he passes the Angel of death without Ms. Rose around. "Hey there cutie wanna slip out real quick" he says grabbing her arm tightly.

Before anybody can see he gets launched across the room by the wing of a nevermore. "Hands off, you are lucky nobody saw that cause that means I don't have to share you." The Angel struts over to him, her markings clearly visible as they envelop her body and with her wings tucked in it truly makes her appear as if the title is fitting. She smirks a look of pure malice and kicks him once between the legs. "But unfortunately that won't happen today so here's a gift." And she turns around her body returning to a silver eyed girl with matching hair.

"Yeah okay those rumors gotta be true that was plain scary even the Grimm in me wants to run and hide from that girl." Malachai says as he decides to finally take his seat.

"There's that self preservation I thought you lacked." I laugh as the headmistress Weiss Schnee takes the stage.

"Students" she pauses to gather everybody's attention. "New and old you are here today to start again. Each of you in the past was given a curse. However you learned if you were to survive you must never consider it such, instead you must see the dark foisted upon you as a guide to the light that brings us to tomorrow. That curse must be your blessing or you will surely die. You learned this truth but not how hard it is to accept. You are here today to try again or perhaps for your first time so that others won't have to walk in your shoes. You are here today to learn that even those not given this burden house the dark that we can see as clearly as they see the sky. From here on out you will form teams similar to what some of you had at other schools and these teams will be the family that will carry you to your future. Know this, you are a family now and while you will want to deny it you all still hold a light as bright as the sun. With that being said I wish you luck tomorrow as you will have to accept the dark and light in a balance to determine if you are worthy to be here. Tonight you all camp in this room, tomorrow at daybreak you will prepare, for by 8 in the morning we begin initiation." And with that she walks away in a swish of her braid that hangs off to the side.

"Heh no pressure there huh." The nervousness from Malachai is shocking as he is visibly shaken from the magnitude of our position.

"No none at all. Are you really nervous? Didn't you go through this at beacon or somewhere before?" I give him a confused look.

"No I was bitten when I went out camping once. The area was supposedly clear but apparently a baby king taijitu was in a hole beneath us, then that night it just kinda came up bit me and left. Nobody noticed until we returned home." He says looking down in memory of those carefree days.

"Hey don't get down it isn't that bad, you just get catapulted several stories into the air, no obvious way to land, and swarms of Grimm dying for a taste of you upon landing. All in all not that bad, nice and straight forward." I carelessly say with a chuckle.

"Yeah and because we are half Grimm we go unnoticed by them half the time the other half is what I can't wait for." The Angel says as she approaches us apparently having been eavesdropping on us. "By the way thanks for distracting my mom earlier so that she would let me go, names Roz." She says holding out her hand to me and a smile on her face. If it weren't that her Grimm marks were growing I would probably have shaken it but...

"May I ask why your marks are expanding and how you are not in a homicidal behavior yet?" I ask bluntly clearly intimidated by this little girl her power just isn't natural.

"Easy unlike you there is no beast inside yearning to come out only me and my mood ring marks pretty much and they will probably stay here until I can kill something. I really hope mom was hinting at a hunt for tomorrow." She says keeping her hand outstretched and a sweet grin on her face.

I decide to shake it assuming it isn't a trick to rip me apart. "You know with how we are supposed to be able to read negative emotions when it comes to you and your moms it's either blank or a bloodlust I can't find anything else." I say trying to keep calm but wanting to get this out so that I can know if it's safe to relax.

"That just means that it's a normal day I'm an angel of death after all. I didn't get that name for good reasons I got it because I love to kill. Just like my red mother. It's not something to panic over I was taught the rules my mom gave herself, only kill that which deserves it or was told had to be, but make sure they deserve that death first." She says this so cheerfully it genuinely makes me more scared for my life than before.

"On that horrifying note you two wanna drop dead cause I say sleep now suffer later chat after." Malachai casually says. "By the way names Malavhai pleasure to meet you Roz." He says as he unceremoniously falls to the ground sound asleep without even a sleeping bag.

"Oh yeah names Graham and I agree with him, should probably call it a night." As I say this she nods and guides me to the bags that we lay out and roll Malachai into then fade into the darkness.i
