Blake sat at the table with red looking down with her cat ears pressed onto her head as Glynda Goodwitch continued to scold them. She quietly folded her hands in her lap as the rant continued.

" I hope you realize you actions tonight will not be taken light, young ladies. You put yourself and others in great danger." Goodwitch circled the table as she spoke. Blake looked to the side to see red look up and revolt.

"They started it!" She said annoyed.

"If it were up to me you'd be sent home…With a pat on the back….And a flick on the wrist!" Glynda slammed her riding crop near reds wrist causing her to yelp like a puppy and press herself into the back of her chair while holding her wrist that was almost hit.

Glynda sighed and moved from the doorway. "But…There is someone here who would like to meet you."

On Que, a white and gray-haired man in a green suit walked into the room with a plate of cookies and a mug of what Blake thought was coffee. He approached the table quietly taking note of Blake giving her a small nod and leaned over to get a better look at red.

"Ruby Rose you…. have silver eyes," Ozpin said as he placed the plate of cookies down in front of her.

"U-um…" Ruby replied as she looked to the side to Blake for help only receiving a shrug from the Faunus.

"So! Where did you learn how to do this?" Glynda appeared at his side holding up a data pad playing the footage of Ruby fighting Torchwick's men.

Blake watched to footage and noted she actually did use the scythe quiet well as Ruby replied "S-signal academy…."

"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" Ozpin inquired with a raised brow.

"Well, One teacher in particular."

"I see…." Ozpin motioned towards the cookies and Ruby seemed to happily oblige slowly taking one cookie after another stuffing them in her mouth. "It's just I've only ever seen one scythe-wielder of that caliber. A dusty, old crow."

Ruby seemed to lighten up at this comment "Mmmmm! Thas mah unkul!" She coughed into one of her hands giving a sheepish grin. "Sorry, That's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. But now I'm all like Huwoahhhhh witchaaaa!" Ruby made Kung fu gestures getting a chuckle from Ozpin and a giggle from Blake.

"So I've noticed. And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?" He asked as he set down his mug placing his hands on the table.

"Well….I want to be a huntress." She took a more serious tone with a sense of determination settling over her features.

"You want to slay monsters?"

"Yeah! I only have two more years left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply at Beacon. You see, my sister is starting there this year, and she's trying to become a Huntress and I'm trying to become a huntress cause I've always wanted to help people. My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, 'Hey, minus well make a career out of it' I mean the police are alight. But Hunters and Huntresses are so much more romantic and exciting and cool and gah! Ya know?" Ruby finished all the while making motions with her hands and arms through her little speech .

Blake couldn't help but note that this was probably Yang's little sister that she went into detail about. Since her matched her detail for detail. She was almost lost in thought before she heard Ozpin speak up again. " Do you know who I am?" He asked.

"Your professor Ozpin. You're the Headmaster at Beacon."

"Hello." He said with a bemused expression.

"Nice to meet you."

"You want to come to my school?" He asked leaning forward a bit.

"More than anything" Ruby replied. Ozpin looked to the side with a small smile only receiving a small 'Humph' from Glynda as he turned back to ruby. "Well okay!" He smiled clasping his hands together.

Ruby jumped for joy out of her chair and attached herself to Ozpin in a frantic hug. Blake almost didn't notice her fly across the table at the speed that she did also noticing a small flurry of rose petals. "Thank you, Thank you Thank you!" Ruby yelled with a smile on her face. Ozpin simply chuckled and gave the girl a pat on the back. "Pack your bags, Miss Rose. The Bullhead to beacon leaves tomorrow at 12:30 in the afternoon sharp. I look forward to seeing you amongst my students. You are dismissed while I speak to Miss Belladonna."

Blake's ears perked up having finally been mentioned and sat up straight waiting for Ozpin's questions. Ruby let him go and waved at Blake as she appeared next to the door. "It was nice meeting you! If you're going to Beacon, I'll see you there!" She said as she darted down the hall in a flurry of petals once more. Blake raised a brow at the anomaly once more and figured it had something to do with her semblance. With a shrug, she turned her attention to Ozpin and Glynda.

"Miss Belladonna how is your stay in vale?" Ozpin began with a smile on his face.

"It is eventful so far Headmaster," Blake said and bowed her head slightly. "I didn't expect to have a run-in with Torchwick so soon. I assure you, though, I won't be out at night trying to partake in vigilante justice. I'm here to learn and further my education and experience as a Huntress and Soldier of the Atlas military."

"Hmm….I see. Well, Miss Belladonna, You are a Beacon student now. I will take your word for it when it comes to studies. Just remember, You are a student at my fine establishment first and foremost rather than an Atlas specialist. Are we clear?"

"Crystal sir." Blake kept her head bowed, her cat ears twitching slightly from being nervous.

"Good. Now them, I believe Glynda and I have kept you long enough this evening. There is a car waiting for you to take you back to your apartment in uptown vale." Ozpin smiled as he stood and took up his cane as he walked towards the door. "Have a good night." He nodded and walked through with Glynda on his heels. Blake could hear her scolding him for not giving the girls any sort of punishment.

Blake stood and exited into the hallway herself and began walking towards the exit herself. 'How did he know I had an apartment in vale already?' She thought to herself as she shrugged and exited the building stopping in slight surprise as Chad was standing next to the passenger side door of the black sports vehicle from earlier.

"Your ride awaits ma'am." He stated simply as he opened the door for her. Blake quickly shook off the surprise and smiled as she got into the car saying her thanks. The ride back to the complex wasn't very long as they made their way through downtown Vale. She made note of the little clubs and shops spotting a bookshop called 'Tuskon's'. She made note of it and promised herself to visit it when she had off time from Beacon. A few minutes later they arrived at the complex and Chad parked the car and opened her door for her giving a bow. "I shall be here around 11 AM to take you to the Bullhead dock ma'am. Until then have a pleasant night." She nodded and proceeded into the complex feeling the day catch up to her. She tiredly walked into the elevator pressing the button for her floor. After the small wait, she entered the apartment kicking off her shoes and sighing to herself. She would simply shower in the morning as she collapsed onto her bed and fell asleep almost instantly.

The alarm clock blared startling Blake as she sat up groggily and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She patted around the bedside table for her scroll and pressed the snooze button as she looked at the time. A quarter past 8 she had plenty of time to get ready. She moved to her closet and looked at the clothing she had available to her. There were a few copies of her standard black Atlas uniform, a few different variations of her civilian clothes and one marked with a tag that was similar to the yukatas. Blake decided on taking a basic Atlas uniform for the day but packed her different outfits for her off time at Beacon. She also opted to tie her bow onto her wrist and leave her cat ears out for the world to see. She handn't seen and Faunus discrimination so she decided to take a chance but also thought if she happened to meet Weiss at the entrance ceremony she wouldn't want to hide who she was and would rather face her head on, after all, she couldn't be that much different from winter. Could she?

Blake checked all of her gear and groaned noticing she didn't have the dust magazines she set out for yesterday. She sighed and ate her breakfast slowly checking the time once more. It was only about 9:00 AM there would be plenty of time to retrieve her dust as long as the shop wasn't a police investigation area. She quietly rinsed and cleaned her dishes. Then she heard an automated voice sound off. "There is a package waiting for you at the door Miss Belladonna" The feminine voice rang out. Blake raised a brow and went to retrieve her package. She opened the door as the elevator closed so she couldn't see who delivered whatever this was. She picked up the small and looked over it giving it a slight shake. There was certainly something slightly loose inside. She shrugged and went back inside as she opened the package. It was a medium sized box with the letters FDTD engraved on the cover.

A small note dropped to the ground and Blake picked it up and read it.

"Thanks for the help keeping my shop safe from those goons last night. Take these on the house!" -Shopkeeper

Blake laughed lightly and opened the package revealing the magazines she gave the shopkeeper and even noticed the extra rounds of each dust she specified in a container on the side. 'Ozpin must have had something to do with this.' She thought but shrugged and packed her spare ammo and clips in her bag and slid one into a carrier on her hip. After making sure everything was in order she sat down and read her book before Chad would come to pick her up to take her to the Bullhead dock.

About 30 minutes before it would be time to go downstairs the screen in the living room came to life revealing winter with a small smile. " Hello, Blake. I simply wanted to check on you before your trip to Beacon and inform you that my sister will not be on your bullhead. She will be taking a personal one provided by the family." Blake looked up from her book nodding and closed it. "I did figure as much Winter. My thanks for the yukata by the way. You certainly do know my taste in sleepwear." Winter smile got bigger turning into a grin as she looked at Blake. "I certainly do. Do show it to me sometime if you don't mind Blake." Winter gave her a small wink causing Blake to flush and cover her face with her book. "Perhaps one day." She replied flustered and put her book away into her pack as she checked the time. "Well, Winter I'll talk to you later. I'll keep you updated on my progress at Beacon and keep in touch as much as I can." She quietly slung her bag over her shoulder and looked up at the screen. "Take care partner." Blake waved as Winter nodded and the screen shut off.

Blake locked the place up putting the keycard in a safe spot on her person as she got in the elevator and rode it downstairs. After leaving the lobby Chad greeted her and opened her passenger side door. They rode to the docks mostly in silence passing the array of the downtown building. There was a small road block at a destroyed building with a sign hanging sideways off of it with the J about to fall off. Blake's eyes widened slightly at the amount of destruction the building had received. After passing Junior's Blake asked Chad what the building used to be. "Well it USED to be one of the most popular nightclubs in vale but as you just saw…. I suppose someone or something wrecked the place as of last night. I'm surprised the number of sirens and such didn't wake you, ma'am." As he finished his sentence they seemed to pull up to the docks. "It was a pleasure meeting you Miss Belladonna. In the future, please do not be afraid to call upon my services next time you visit vale I am after all a simple call away." Chad gave her a slight bow and got back into the car after letting her out. She gave him a small wave and a smile as he drove away.

Blake quietly made her way to the Bullhead to Beacon. After boarding, she immediately heard Yang cry out "Oh! I can't believe my baby sister is coming with me to Beacon! This is the best day ever!" As Blake turned the corner to seeing Ruby being bearhugged by Yang and flailing her arms lightly. Blake heard her respond with a barely audible "Please stop." Yang let her go hoping up and down a few times in excitement. "But I'm so proud of you!" Ruby sighed loudly and spotted Blake walking towards them and basically cried out for help with her eyes. Blake took note and tapped yang on the shoulder.

"What about me? I helped her out too." Blake gave a playful grin giving Ruby a small wink acknowledging her cry for help. Yang turned around and her eyes grew wide. "You were there?! How did you end up in that shop anyway? Isn't it in an unpopular part of town?" Blake raised a brow and shrugged. " I was just looking around since I've never been to Vale. I needed some Dust for my weapon and decided to stop by. Now I didn't expect one of my targe- A random criminal to just come in and rob the place." Blake looked away laughing lightly almost having blown her side mission.

Yang crossed her arms across her chest and looked Blake up and down as she averted her gaze with a raised brow. "Uh huh. Target huh?" Blake groaned and looked back at the sisters a light flush on her face and her cat ears pressed against her head. She looked side to side making sure no one was listening in and pulled the sisters to a trio of empty seats. "If I tell you this you aren't allowed to tell a soul got that?!" Blake whispered lightly angrily and received a nod from Yang and a frantic series of nods from ruby. Blake sighed quietly and looked at the sisters before she spoke 'What's the worse that could happen?' She thought before she explained in a little more detail what she was told to do in her spare time if she actually found the time to do it. Ruby looked like she had stars in her eyes after Blake finished telling them her mission and Ruby almost exploded getting in Blake's face.

"That's so cool! Are you some sort of secret agent!? You're like a Huntress already but you're still coming to school!? That's so neat!" Blake laughed lightly as she ruffled Ruby's hair gently getting her to calm down and give her space. " No, I just used to be part of the Atlas military…or still am…or something like that. This is just more experience under the belt for when I go back after the four years." Ruby looked down slightly sad and huffed then she looked back up with a slight puppy dog face. "So I'm going to lose a new friend after only 4 years here?" That's when Yang came in ruffling her hair this time. "Hey don't think like that Rubes. Blake, is a cool chick maybe you two can become best buds while at Beacon this year?"

Blake smiled and watched the sisters chat and decided to pull out one of her many books. She was about to read until a news feed cut in.

"…. The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, Who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts please contact The Vale Police Department. Back to you, Lisa."

"Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted…"

The feed cut off and Blake sighed with relief. She didn't want to hear about the White Fang so soon into her new beginning at Beacon. She put her book away figuring she wouldn't get much of a chance to read with the two sisters next to her chatting loudly and Yang constantly teasing Ruby. After a few more minutes of this, another broadcast started and a small holographic image of Glynda appeared in front of almost every seat.

"Hello, and welcome to Beacon. My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among the privileged few who have been selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing and incredible time of peace," Blake scoffed at that statement shaking her head not going unnoticed by Yang. If only they knew how chaotic the real world is." …and as future Huntsman and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now, it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and training to protect our world." Glynda faded away slowly after she finished speaking and Blake crossed her arms looking out the window. Just how much could she learn from this school, in the long run, she thought to herself and quickly pushed that thought to the back of her mind. 'I was sent here for the better and I won't come back without more experience and knowledge just like Ironwood and Winter planned.' She thought to herself and gave a light determined huff.

Around 10 minutes later a scraggly blonde boy ran past the seats holding his stomach with one hand and his mouth with another. Blake looked after the boy with sympathy figuring he had some sort of motion sickness or problems with riding Bullheads. As she looked back out the window Beacon came into view. Her eyes widened slightly at the sight of it. It was almost like a castle with multiple buildings linked together with a series of small bridges that cascaded over a few different courtyards. Blake was impressed that she would be spending her near future here. She looked off to the right and spotted something she had been preparing herself mentally for. A sleek more luxurious looking Bullhead with a large Schnee emblem on the side of it. 'There she is.' Blake thought as she sighed and prepared herself for the meeting that was inevitable. She simply hoped that she was similar to Winter and that they would at least get along well in the many years to come.

The Bullhead landed and Blake waited for passengers to leave with Ruby and Yang. After the Bullhead mostly cleared out they got up and left their seats. As they exited the looked around in awe at the Academy. Ruby immediately started darting back and forth with stars in her eyes excited about the many weapons the students carried talking loudly and excitedly when she saw something that looked cool to her. Blake giggled as she darted around before Yang grabbed her by the hood of her cape and pulled her back. "Calm down Rubes. I know your happy but seesh, wait a second before you tackle somebody over their weapon." Yang said with a grin on her face. Ruby flailed her arms to get free. "But they are so cool! They're and extension of ourselves! They're part of us!" Yang sighed a little putting her hands on her hips. "Well, why don't you swoon over your own weapon? Doesn't it make you happy?." Ruby pulled out her weapon deploying it much to the dismay of a few students who backed away and scattered towards the main building. "Of course I love Crescent Rose! But I like seeing new ones too. It's like meeting new people but better."

Yang smiled at her and pulled her hood over her head. "Hey, come on, why don't you try making some more new friends of your own?" Ruby pulled her hood back down putting Crescent Rose away and poked her fingers together. "But why would I need new friends when I already have you and Blake?" Yang looked away and rubbed the back of her head as a few students appeared around her. "Weeeellll….. actually, my friends are here now! Gotta go catch up 'kay c'ya bye!" Yang zoomed off with the group of people with such speed it caused ruby to spin.

"Wait!" Ruby cried out. "Where are you going!? Aren't we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? …Do we have dorms? Oh, I don't know what I'm doing…" Ruby spun visibly dizzy as she fell backward onto a luggage carrier and scattered a few briefcases of luggage around.

"What are you doing!?" Someone cried out as they stepped up to ruby who sat up rubbing her head. "Uh…sorry!" Ruby scrambled to help pick up the luggage picking one up as the girl reached down snatching it from her.

"Sorry? Do you have any idea how much damage you could've caused?! This is Dust! Mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry!" Weiss opened the case checking the vials of Dust and then slammed it shut after retrieving a red vial and began shaking and waving it around while Ruby was trying to get her bearings. " Uhhh…"

"What are you, brain dead? Dust! Fire, Water, Lightning, Energy!"

"Uhhh…." Ruby looked like she was about to sneeze so Blake immediately packed up around 10 feet putting two and two together at what was about to transpire.

"Are you ever listening to me? Is any of this sinking in? What do you have to say for yourself?!"

"Uahhhhhhhh-Chooooo!" A small explosion happened around Ruby and Weiss as the Dust was somehow set off by the sneeze. Blake jumped slightly and pressed her ears to her head as the red Dust vial flew through the air and landed a few feet away from her and rolled to her feet.

"Unbelievable! This is exactly what I was talking about!" Weiss almost screeched as she stomped her foot and brushed all the ash and soot off of her white top and skirt.

"I'm really, really sorry!" Ruby said while looking down and pressing her fingertips together again as Weiss continued her rant.

"Ugh! You complete, Dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?"

"Well…I…I…" Ruby tried to reply but Weiss continued her rant.

"This isn't your ordinary combat school. It's not just sparring and practice you know. We're here to fight monsters! So watch what you're doing."

"Hey, I said I was sorry Princess!" Ruby replied angrily and lightly glared at the girl.

And that's when Blake jumped in picking up the vial of dust turning it over and looking at the Schnee emblem hoping to Oum that this would go well.

"It's Heiress, actually…"

Cliffhanger :P. I know I know i shouldn't tease but I'm going to think about how i want Weiss to act towards Blake and i believe i will also make her a bit ocish like Blake in a way making her perhaps less hostile towards Faunus or maybe Blake in general since she may have been informed by Winter that Blake would be there. Now the to answer some reviewers! Or one in particular.

Osheana259 : I don't believe i'll have Blake be sought after by Adam simply because in the earlier chapter he is somewhat sickened by her risking her life to protect Winter. A Schnee who he believes is his worst enemy and they deserve to die. This will be touched upon in later chapters when more of her past is explored and when she remembers another specific mission where she and Winter had another close encounter with Adam. Perhaps you can see how much she has really grown and how she uses her Semblance :P. I'll leave that as a slight teaser as to what's to come.

Reaper Whisper: Interesting idea with that pairing ill keep it in mind. As I haven't decided on anything set in stone I will definitely leave that on a table.

Thanks for the support so far everyone :). I'll keep writing as long as you guys and gals want to keep reading ^^:. Have a good one! Marta out.
