Chapter Three: A Different Approach
The rain began to fall heavily, no thunder or lighting just heavy rain poured down on them. Standing there the group got ready to fight, placing themselves in the now muddy trail, ready to fight the Grimm that stood before them. "Stop!" Micel said in a menacing voice, obviously annoyed that they didn't listen to him since they had their weapons unsheathed. "But..!" Yang yelled but before she could say her next word, Micel glanced back. Able to see past the trim of the hood, his eye peered out and it was no longer colored blue but they couldn't tell what color it was.
Grimm were slowly approaching them, trying to intimidate them. It didn't work against the huntsmen and huntresses that stood before them. Micel then looked straight at the Grimm, but he didn't pull out any weapon or get in any type of fighting stance. He heard the noises of the group gripping their weapons, being ready just in case. Micel chuckled and all he did was blink. The Grimm started to back away, and as soon as they felt they had distance, they started to flee from the huntsman. The group then lessened their grip on their weapons and lowered them, they were in complete shock at what they just witnessed. That wasn't just it though, one Grimm remained, an unfrightened beowulf.
The beowulf started to run at them. Mecil smiled at the challenge before him but as the beowulf got closer it stopped, it was acting like he couldn't see any of them. Ruby, Yang, and Nora looked at Ren. He shrugged, "I'm not doing it." He said. They all proceeded to look at Mecil. Who bursted into rose petals and was all of sudden behind the beowulf. He unbecame what seemed like invisible, grabbed the beowulf by its tail and flung it back past him. He then grabbed it by the throat and slammed it into the ground. But with it, unaware to the group, the beowulf was able to get a deep scratch on Micel's right side of his face. He staggered backward from the hit but it was an unnoticeable stagger. As the beowulf got back up to strike, Micel was unable to react quick enough.
A loud boom echoed through the forest, and the beowulf had a hole barreled through its head. It fell then vanished, Micel was surprised at what happened, so he looked back. He saw that Ruby took the shot, she had a worried look on her face though, as if he was gonna be mad at her. Instead he simply shook his head and gave a small laugh. "Haha, thanks. Now we're even." He said, looking at Ruby. She shrugged and gave another shy smile. "Like you said, it's our job to protect fellow huntsmen and huntresses." She said to him. "True. Let's go, not much farther." He said back, ushering them to follow.
As they walked the rain stopped and finally arrived back at Haven Academy.
(If you've read this far, I'd like to thank you. I know my story is slow and boring at 1st bust stick with me, I promise some of the future chapters are more thrilling and more reader appealing. Such as building Micel and Ruby's relationship, or the surprise they get when they finally meet Professor Lionheart. Also sorry for grammar, sentence structure, and dialogue mistakes. I'm no New York Times best seller, so bare with me. Any criticism and comments are welcome -i7RWBY)
