I do have Nora Breaking Cardin's legs, also some of the chapters are incomplete for a reason technically because I had an idea for the next chapter and decided to leave it like that instead.
I was so happy to see the amount of people actually following this story that I decided to post this one early, yet I'm also still going by week so that means Chapter 3 will be up on Monday. The amount of views in one day was more than the first, by a lot. 59 views in one day is more than what I expected and I think you all, please R&R, though I might give a little more in thanks. If you want to talk to me directly, let me know, cause Skype is there for a reason and by god I'll use it if necessary. Just PM me about the details in that and regarding questions about this story, also if you have any other story ideas that might make this interesting for you.
Chapter 2
The transport airship started to dock at the platform in front of the cliffs to the school. A bridge extended to the platform. The students started to walk out of the transport airship, though one student ran out to vomit in a nearby trash can. Ruby, Michelle, and Yang walk off the bridge and saw Beacon, in a beautiful distant view. Ruby and Yang talked about making friends for Ruby.
Yang's friends showed up and Yang along with her friends bolted towards the school. This left Ruby in a dizzying state, she didn't seem to have any idea of her surroundings, and she fell backwards onto a cart of white brief cases. Michelle finally back in the real world, walked up to Ruby to make sure she was okay. But there was someone standing there in front of Ruby. Michelle wasn't sure if this person was safe for Ruby to be around.
"What are you doing?" said a voice from the side. Michelle ignored the voice continuing her path towards Ruby. The voice came back again. Ruby lifted herself up.
"HEY! I asked you a question. What do you think you are doing?" the voice was coming from a girl. This girl was not happy in the slightest.
"I'm sorry!" Ruby was scared of the person who was now standing in front of her. Michelle was not happy seeing Ruby getting scared. Michelle never liked someone who scared Ruby the first time they meet even if at all.
"Do you have any idea the damage you could have caused?" The girl snapped at Ruby. Michelle was getting closer. She didn't think the girl yelling at Ruby would do anything to hurt her, Michelle knew Ruby would though, more or less it's just Ruby kneeling on the ground shaking saying please don't hurt me over and over again. Michelle was now running towards the two of them.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" at this point, Ruby was shaking in fear. Michelle finally got to them.
"You could have blown up the front of the school! Do you know how dangerous that is? Very! You're lucky you didn't destroy or open any of these cases." The girl was waving around a bottle of red Dust. Some of the Dust was leaking out of it as she was shaking it around.
"Hey can you just leave her alone? Can't you see she's terrified right now?" Michelle said walking in between the two allowing Ruby to hide behind her still shaking.
"Why should I? She could be killed if she doesn't understand. How old is she? She seems a little young to be in this school." She just kept waving the bottle of red Dust around. Michelle swatted the bottle out of the girls hand before she sneezed with the explosion being of fire, ice, and electricity. The bottle went flying towards a girl who was just standing there reading a book; she noticed the bottle of red Dust at her feet and picked it up. She saw a crest on it. She looked at the two people arguing and the one cowering behind one of them.
"See? Didn't I tell you that something could happen!" the girl snapped at Michelle.
"I think you need to get your eyes checked, princess. You were waving the bottle as you moved your arm around sprinkling your precious Dust on my face. That's why I knocked the bottle out of your hand. If you keep yelling you're gonna bring up some bad memories for her!" Michelle said the anger in her tone was quite clear, with a quiet growl coming from her. Ruby was starting to shake a lot at this point. Michelle took notice and brought the scared girl into a warm hug.
"It's heiress, actually. Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company." a girl with a black bow on her head started to say.
"The Schnee Dust Company is one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." The girl said. Michelle didn't seem impressed by this. She thought Weiss was still a bitch.
"Finally, someone who understands the position I hold." Weiss said.
"The same company infamous for its controversial labour forces and questionable business partners," The girl with the bow flatly said.
"How dare you… arg!" Weiss grabbed the bottle of red Dust and stormed off.
"Thanks for helping us. What's your name?" Michelle asked calmly. Ruby was starting to relax a lot since the yelling had finally stopped.
"My name is Blake Belladonna. What's your name?" she asked.
"My name is Michelle; I don't want to say my last name. This right here scared out of her mind is Ruby." Michelle said making sure Blake could see Ruby's face when she was introducing her. Then Michelle smelt something interest from Blake.
"Well it's nice to meet you both. Though why was she scared of Weiss?" Blake asked concerned for the younger girl.
"Just a bad experience with people yelling at her, let's just say that it always get worse after a couple minutes of yelling. In a horrible violent way, which is when I always try to get between her and the person yelling at her, making sure she doesn't get hurt, though at times I would be unable to get in between the two, so she would also end up getting hurt." Michelle had a sad tone of voice saying that. Ruby flinched when she started to talk about it, her ears twitched once at the end though.
"So it just got to the point where it was traumatizing?" Blake asked still concerned. Michelle just simply nodded.
"Hey, um, Blake, can I ask you something?" Michelle felt something about Blake; something told her that she is trust worthy.
"Sure, what is it?" Blake asked. Michelle looked around making sure no one else was around, her hood was moving a bit at the top from her ears twitching to make sure no one else was around.
"Are you a Faunus?" Michelle asked blatantly. This surprised Blake, she looked worried thinking that this human was going to harm her even though she helped them. She looked around looking as if she was about to run away.
"It's ok if you are, I am to, but I'm a wolf Faunus, so is Ruby." Michelle said to try to get Blake to relax a bit. Ruby broke off the warm hug as she finally came back to her senses. Michelle removed her hood from her head revealing her face and the noticeably black wolf ears on her head. Blake started to relax a bit.
"I'm a cat Faunus; sorry I was just surprised that I thought a human figured it out on the first day." Blake said with a warm smile. Michelle lifted her hood back up on her head motioning them to go inside for the orientation. They all walked together to the building.
As they entered Yang called out to them, the three of them walk up to Yang. Weiss appeared out of nowhere, scaring Ruby again. Michelle simply told Weiss that Ruby had been traumatized about being yelled at. Weiss thought it was weird to be traumatized by something that didn't involve violence most of the time.
Ozpin gave a speech that sounded encouraging at first, then seemed like he wasn't there, Yang pointed out the second bit. Glynda gave instructions to all the first year students. After that they had the rest of the day to themselves. Michelle, Ruby, Yang, and Blake decided to set up and get ready for when they had to go to sleep. After that they went somewhere to get better acquainted with each other. Ruby still didn't want to talk about what happened in their ten year gap away from Yang.
It was now late at night, so Yang, Ruby, and Blake went back to get ready for bed. Michelle just watched as Ruby want with them, she was hoping Ruby would be ok and remembered to keep her hood up. Michelle then followed them to change before she went back outside. Ruby had already changed but was still wearing her cloak like Michelle had requested her to do. Michelle also kept her cloak on as well. Michelle then walked back outside. Blake noticed that Ruby was already asleep and saw Michelle walking and leaving the ballroom. Blake thought something was wrong, so she got up and started to follow Michelle.
Michelle walked towards a bench that was near a tree at a cliff edge. Blake walked up to Michelle wanting to ask her what is wrong. Michelle sat down on the bench and pulled off her hood once again revealing her wolf ears. The next thing she did was remove her cloak from around her and placed it next to her. Blake walked towards her in total shock. She saw a lot of scars and two of the scars where just horrible. She continued towards Michelle none-the-less.
Michelle turned her head and saw Blake walking towards her.
"Hey Blake, what's on your mind?" Michelle asked trying to get Blake to stop looking at a certain scar on her arm.
"I just wanted to know why you weren't staying in the ballroom. At least that's what I wanted ask before I saw all the scars you have." Blake wasn't going to forget any time soon
"I was hoping no one would see the scars."
"It's okay; you can talk to me about it."
"You sure you want to know? These scars didn't come from me doing something any normal child would do. It's pretty horrible of how I got some of these scars."
Blake just nodded. She wanted to know how Michelle got these scars. The worst ones looked deeply carved into her skin. There were two on her back making an X mark. There was one on her arm which looked like something cut into her deeply yet was burning her at the same time; it stretched from the upper arm, the shoulder blade down to her waist. The last one was on her neck which was a pretty deforming scar, from the back of her neck it curved to the front of her and looked like it stretched down past her stomach, yet the scar seemed to get bigger as went down.
"Some of these scars were from those who treated Faunus as lower beings than humans. So they felt the need to punish me as an example. They tied me down in full view of everyone in the town I lived in." Michelle pointed out one of the scars on her back.
"They pulled my shirt over my head and whipped me after giving a speech." Blake wasn't sure why anyone would do that to a child.
"The long scar here was from my first encounter with a Deathstalker, nearly cutting my head off, I turned around as the stinger started to cut through the skin. As the stinger was coming down, and as I started to turn around the stinger was getting deeper, but as long as it wasn't going through my neck I didn't care, I was able to cut the stinger off and stabbed the thing in the head." Blake found that one impressing, since it was hard for any hunter or huntress to kill a Deathstalker alone for the first time they encounter one.
"The large X on my back was from burning logs collapsing on my back trying to safe someone, though the logs were digging into my skin." Blake thought that explained the fact that it looked cut and burned.
"Did the person you were trying to save live? Did you save them?" Blake asked.
"Yeah they lived, I did save them… from the burning logs anyway… she was shot in the leg and had her head come off though, I couldn't save her from that cause the logs actually pinned me in place. Someone noticed, they cut up the parts of the logs that kept me in place yet the logs stayed burning on my back, the person just walked away. I got up and had to remove the logs by hand." Blake felt sorry for Michelle and what she had to go through.
"The scar on my arm was from someone who was drunk, they had cut so deep it scrapped against bones, to the shoulder blade, then scrapping down my rib cage, still missing anything that could have caused me to bleed out quickly at least, but it went down to my waist. He claimed he thought he saw two Beowolves and was trying to defend himself. They believed the drunken idiot though." Blake thought that was harsh on Michelle.
"What about your eye? How did you get that scar?" Blake asked placing a hand on Michelle face, feeling the scar on her hand as it sunk a bit in her skin. Michelle was blushing at this; no one ever had the courage to try to feel the scar on her face. Blake realised Michelle was blushing, she took her hand away from Michelle's face when she realised why.
"Sorry about that…" Blake apologised to Michelle.
"I-I-I-it's alright, but I got this scar from a Beowolf trying to save Ruby from being ripped apart from the claw, got me instead right at the eye. I wasn't allowed to open this eye for a month, since it could have been pierced by the claw." Michelle said with a smile. She smiled because she knew she got it from saving Ruby, which is why she felt some happiness having the scar.
"Now why aren't you inside with everyone else?" Blake smiled at Michelle when the sad part of their conversation was done.
"I'm going to sleep out here, because I don't like crowded places even if I'm with people I trust, I can't keep myself from getting a little panicked, I have always felt like this in large crowds of people, no idea when actually." Michelle just chuckled a little at the end.
"Then I guess we should see each other in the morning. Goodnight." Blake got up and began to head back to the ballroom to sleep for the night, she was tired after all.
"Goodnight Blake, hope you sleep well." Michelle responded. Hearing that, Blake felt something in her chest that felt like she was happy to hear Michelle say that to her. There was something about the wolf Faunus that she just likes about her. She continued to walk back to the ballroom, she went inside in the ballroom and saw her candles still lit, Weiss arguing with Yang with Ruby hiding behind Yang from Weiss. Blake walked over to them and picked up her candles and blew them out. This stopped the argument completely.
They all went to sleep hoping for the next day to hurry up and come. With that the room was quiet for the rest of the night.
