THE LOST BRANWEN
Chapter-3
Esca-ped
Black phased back and found himself sitting on the floor leaning against the wall.
"Gotta stop doing that" he shook his head as he picked himself up.
Okay time to get out of here but how?
"Wing it" he muttered to himself.
He pulled his grey and red hood up as he ran down the hallway.
Black just kept running along hallways not sure where he was.
He just preyed he didn't bump into that creepy lady again.
He turned one last corner, through a pair of doors and into a...courtyard?
The crumbling moon in the sky bathed the courtyard in a white glow. Making it almost as bright as day. The light from the moon was gleaming off of a statue in the center of the courtyard which intrigued Black. He gave a quick look around to see if the coast was clear before heading over to the statue. He then mentally slapped himself.
Of course the coast is clear. Everyone's asleep!
A pair of yellow eyes stalked Black as he walked across the courtyard. They showed curiosity and then quickly to alertness before disappearing into the shadows.
Black stared in awe at the statue of the two huntsmen standing over a Grimm. One huntsmen was holding his sword in the air as if claiming victory while the other stood by the side of the first hunter with her axe. The head of the axe was down on the ground with the huntress's hand on the pommel.
"Wish I had a statue of me" Black whisper in awe.
"I like the detail"
In a flash Black spun around and raised his fists ready to fight only to find a girl with yellow eyes, black hair and a bow upon her head.
"what are you doing awake!?"
Gee, good one Black he once more mentally slapped himself.
The girl with the yellow eyes took a step back.
"Wait are you a hall monitor!?" She questioned nervously.
"Uuh, a what no- I mean YES, yes I am!" Black stood up straight and puffed his chest out.
Black pointed at the girl with attempted sternness.
"I should...uh report you toooo the...boss...person, yes."
The girl merely frown at me.
"Riiight of course you will"
Black sighed and slumped his shoulders.
"Figures that wouldn't work" he said.
"You had me at the beginning, if that means anything" the girl smirked
"My names Blake and you are?"
Black did a mock bow.
"Blackbird" at your service, but you can call me Black" He winked at her as he stood up straight.
An idea pinged into existence within his mind
"Would you be so kind as to point me in the direction of the nearest bar?"
"Aren't you too young to be drinking?" Blake gave Black a questioning look.
"Aren't you a little young to be acting responsible?"
Blake crossed her arms and frowned at him.
"You understand where you are right?"
"Pft, yeah of course I do" Black waved her off.
"I'm at the courtyard"
Blake had a similar dead pan look to the blonde lady. Little too scary but nothing scares Black...that much.
"And where is the courtyard?" She deadpanned.
"Here" Black said with a large smile on my face.
Okay she definitely wants to kill me now. That friendship lasted a whole two minutes. NEW RECORD!
"Ugh, you're at Beacon Academy!" She said that as if I should know where that is.
"Sooo...no bar?"
"Ugh" Blake turned around and began walking away.
"Hey wait!" Black called after her, he speed walked to catch up to her.
"What?" Blake said coldly.
"Gee, you usually like this with new people?"
"Only to the ones that annoy me" she muttered, looking straight ahead.
"Well I don't suppose there's anyway of getting to Vale at this time?"
Blake kept walking towards a building that looked like a large apartment complex.
"Nope"
"Ah crap" Black stopped walking and turned towards Vale.
Out in the cold again
Black sighed as he turned to go find a bench.
"Why do you want to go to Vale. It's late. Shouldn't you be in your room?" Blake stopped to questioned Black.
"Uh yeah, slight problem. I'm not a student here. Kinda the reason why I didn't know where I was" Black kicked at some dirt on the floor.
"Figured you were just brain dead" Blake had a smirk on her face.
"Next joke" Black muttered still looking towards Vale.
Blake raised her hand towards her face and sighed.
"My team mates are going to kill me for this"
"I don't know you, or why you're here but..." Blake looked like she was struggling to say her next words.
"I can offer you a place to stay the night, if you're interested?"
Black instantly appeared next to Blake dragging her along to the large building.
"Slumber party it is then!" He had his devilish grin on his face again.
Blake pulled her arm out of his grip and looked him dead in the eye.
"Just be warned, if you try anything funny you won't see the light of day..."
"Roger that boss man" Black gave her a mock salute.
Blake sighed once more. Something tells her, she will be regretting this decision.
