Chapter 7

Desmond was walking with his team when Matt realised something strange.

"Desmond when Emmie told us her idea you pulled out a revolver but now you say you don't have one?" he inquired Desmond looked at him and the others finding the same quizzical look

"The revolver i have doesn't work it's basically just a model." he explained to the group. As they got to the weapons smith Emmie was the first to walk and greet the weathered old man.

As the rest of the team entered in Emmie explained to the man Desmond's perdekament.

"So young man do you know what you want?" asked the old man so Desmond gave him his idea for a pair of guns he wanted. After he said beacon would pay the teens left for food. At the food court the team was eating and chatting idly when team RWBY showed up on their own excursion.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Yang asked seeing the teen sitting at the food court. Desmond looked up from his pizza and saw Ruby staring at him with a strange look. She quickly looked away from his stair and down to feet. Desmond got up and went to Blake.

"What's up with red," he asked " why is she staring at me?" he asked quickly glanced at her to see her look look at her shoes he looks back to Blake to see her shake her head

"I don't know she's been like this for three days." she replies 'what do you think it's me duh' Desmond whips around to find the source but sees nothing. He turns back to Blake who has a quizzical look on her face. Desmond opens his mouth to speak but decides against it. He shakes his head and returns to his friends.

"Hey Des Yang told us that this band is coming into town called acheve men can we go please?" Emmie said as she bounded up to Desmond with a pleading look soo she was followed by Yang. Desmond looked both the girls dead in the eye and dead paned.

"No." the two girls faces dropped faster than a baby nevermore he turned on his heel to see Ruby with the biggest puppy dog face ever. 'How can you say no to that face' he heard the voice say. 'I mean come on you're a cursed not heartless' it said he looked back down to Ruby now joined by Yang and Emmie. Looking to Nina and Black he saw them turn around with shamed looks. He then turned to Matt hoping for some help to see him and Weiss staring with amused looks.

"Fine just stop doing that face ok." he said to the trio who immediately started to jump with joy. 'Wait why did I have to go' he thought to be answered by the voice ' Because Emmie and Ruby want to be your friend' 'Thanks my tiny conscience' he said mentally rolling his eyes. He was quickly pulled along by Emmie and Ruby.

"Wait when is the concert?" Desmond asked to which Yang replied "In a month but we need tickets now and don't worry I'll buy." she said giving him a wink as they went.

About an hour later DEMN was sitting back in their dorm doing various things until Emmie decided that the quiet was boring. She walked over to Nina who was drawing in a sketchbook Emmie was about to ask a question when Nina quickly raised her hand to stop her. Emmie looked down to the floor then went to Matt.

"Hey Matt Whats up?" she asked he looked up from the history textbook and pointed to his work. "I need to finish this essay for Obleek." he said before returning to his work. Emmie looked down again then turned to Desmond who seemed to be deeply in thought. She was about to go talk to him before she realized it might be a bad idea and sighed. She quickly went to the door before being stopped by Nina

"Where are you going?" she asked both stern and concerned.

"Just out for a walk." she replied with a grin.

"Do you have everything scroll weapon money." Nina asked again still with the same tone each time receiving a small nod before Emmie walked off.

"Nina why are you so overprotective of Emmie?" Matt asked feeling as if he had just had a run in with his mom.

"Because when we were kids I was the oldest I was in charge ok no mom just me." she said nearly breaking down. Matt quickly got up to comfort her. Desmond broke from his train of thought and looked to his team just know noticing what had happened, he was about to speak before the trio heard a scream causing them to bolt out the door
