Fire Princess: Okay, what was that for?

White Knight: What?

Fire Princess: The 'missed you' part?

Fire Princess: What does it mean?

White Knight: I missed you?

Fire Princess: Yes! That one!

White Knight: All I said is that I missed you. Is that wrong?

She sat there, thinking of the words he just sent. She must be over thinking what he said, but wanting to know what he truly meant was not wrong right. She didn't reply for a minute, still thinking of a proper reply, not too obvious yet not too cold.

Fire Princess: No, but why did you missed me?

White Knight: Well, I just did.

Fire Princess: Uh-huh.

She smirked, but she also knew that her time was limited, especially that other people that she's not going to mention is now listed as her opponent.

Fire Princess: Nope. We'll talk here.

Fire Princess: Yes.

You sent: Why?

Fire Princess: It's getting crowded. Isn't that enough?

You sent: Nope. :P

Fire Princess: Fine. I'll call you, so stop interrogating me. Deal?


The two talked over the phone, not even bothering to change their voice. But the boy remained talking with Iron Fist and Crescent Rose, the other girl said nothing about leaving them, all he did was asked to do was talk to her, alone. They were laughing, chuckling, talking about each other's past, well mostly Jaune's. Still, her laugh, voice, was enough to intoxicate the boy.

"Yeah, I know. I was so humiliated at that time." he said over the phone, laughing with the other person on the line. "Okay, your turn." he told her.

"Hmm.. I got one, this one's a bit creepy but I'm over it." she said.

"Wait. Are you sure?"

She smiled, it's the one thing she liked about him. He'd rather do something that let others feel uncomfortable, that's the first reason why she knew he was a good guy. Unlike most guys, they would just hit on you then do some 'love' stuff with them, but tomorrow, tomorrow they won't know who you are anymore. Mercury was like Jaune as well, not the annoying part about him hitting every beautiful girl he sees. They're both good guys, the difference is Mercury approaches women way too fast, while Jaune doesn't know a thing.

"Yes, my Knight, I am sure." she blushed, she could just feel those blue-orbs staring at her.

He laughed nervously, while chatting or sending text messages with her he can remain compose, but hearing her voice, hearing her call him 'my Knight' was way too different. His heart started to beat uncontrollably, who wouldn't, even though some would say this is just some call and text relationship, it's still special for him. Not that were in to that kind of 'relationship'.

"O-o-okay. Um.. Fire- I mean go ahead." he stuttered, he could calm down if she started her story already.

"Alright.. it all started when.."

Flashback...

Before she attended Beacon Academy, she had to attend first to Signal Academy. It's a school where people who's name is prestige and renowned gathered, of course their parents are the ones funding the school as well. It wasn't a school for geniuses or anything, it was just a school for filthy rich kids who's life would be endangered if they attend a normal school.

It was her last year attending that school, boy was she so excited to attend Beacon. It was what everyone is talking about, however, it wasn't a school the rich could simply enter. No, Beacon Academy even funds children who literally have no money, so long as they are skillful in some way. Whether it'd be the brains, brawn, or if you could even memorize something easily. Beacon would help any student that showed potential.

She wasn't bothered by that, why would she? She was the smartest girl in school, not only was her beauty transcends everyone, even her brains as well. She was already accepted in Beacon before she knew it. The moment she reached the title of being the smartest girl in school, the Academy she wanted to enter already got eyes on her.

She was an idol to everyone, the girls wanted to be her and the guys wanted to date her. But she refused, all of the men who had tried to court or asked her out has failed to impress her. There was only one guy she thought was worthy of her, Adam. He was the closest person who could be called worthy to be with her, but everyone knew Adam hasn't got a single interest in Beacon.

Everybody knew the reason why. Even though he is the school's idol for the most handsome guy, or whatever you guys want to call it, everybody was afraid of him. They should be. Adam Taurus is the son of a underground criminal leader, he's just here in Vale to study. News of WhiteFang attacks have been all around the news. Adam wasn't caught or anything because he lives alone, and the police couldn't do anything to arrest the guy, he was innocent after all.

Even the school coordinated with the police to help arrest the criminal warlord. but Adam seemed like he wasn't part of the group at all. He was careful with every steps he took, yet, everyone can feel the aura of him doing something bad. She liked Adam, but the fact that he's some kind of criminal prevents her from talking to him.

Until one fateful day, she was finally forced to talk to Adam. Not unless she wanted him to think that she's weird or something. They were both alone in the classroom, left because they were stuck in cleaning duties. Well Adam doesn't do cleaning duties, he has his lackies to do it for him, unfortunately nobody was available.

That was the moment that the two talked against each other. It started a bit rocky at first, but they both got something in common, they both thought that they weren't normal, they were above normal people. Though for her, she was still humble in her own way, but the moment she think about love or something that question one's worthiness, that's when she starts to think differently.

The first few months of them being together was magical, everyone thought they were perfect for each other. It was as if God created her to match him, nobody said anything, nobody wanted to mess with them after all.

But as time goes on, the thought of him and her being together was getting blurred. He didn't attend class anymore, he took her out on some very shady places. Though nothing happened so far, she wouldn't let him touch or, not now. She loved him but he was starting to drift away, becoming more dangerous for real.

One night, he took her out on one of his meeting, this time... they were dealing with Dust; a brand new drug invented by White Fang. It become a popular hit especially with the users, as it allows them to feel the wind piercing through their body. As if they are one with the air.

"That's it!" she yelled inside the car, she didn't want to have this sort of conversation with him right now after all.

She waited until she was near where normal people would be.

"...!" he slapped her, after even uttering the word of them breaking-up he slapped her hard. Real hard. She was to shock, she didn't know how to react or what to say. Who would? Deep inside she was fragile as anyone, she wasn't some tough chick that would kick somebody's ass because they hurt them. No, she was weak, with just her hands, she's like a puppy in a cage filled of Rottweiler.

He dragged her to the alley, not caring if people were starting to stare. He pulled her hair hard, and she couldn't scream too, she was too scared. Neither did the people around them did anything, they knew who that man is after all. You don't want to anger a dad with an army behind his back.

She wanted to scream for help, but no words came out of her mouth. She cried as his hands started to roam her body, exploring her parts that were still forbidden. He smiled, his mind filled with intentions that weren't there when they were still going out. "I've waited so long..." he whispered, her body started to shake, she didn't want this. He wasn't the guy she fell in love with, not anymore... No- he was just good at hiding who he truly is.

"S-s-s-s-s-top.." she pleaded, her voice cracking as her body shook in fear.

"I want to tas-" her eyes widened as Adam was sent flying away, crashing into the trash cans causing a loud and ruckus noise. "What the fuck!?" his nose was bleeding before he knew it, not to mention broken as well. "Who-"

"You shouldn't hurt a lady.." she exclaimed, cracking her fist. "Unless you want to mess with me."

"Do you have any idea who the fuck am I!" he screamed, as he put some pressure in his broken nose, inflicting more pain.

"Adam Taurus. Son of Mike Taurus, leader of the gang known as White Fang, though you guys like to call yourself some Mafia thingy, right?" she smirked, he definitely was insulted. He cracked his fist, as he launched himself towards the mysterious lady. However that was a futile attempt, he let his emotion drive him to rage, thus making his attack too visible to the other woman's eyes. "Tsk. Tsk. Kid, you're still a kid." she teased, slamming her fist into his face. Which the one who was recently sexually harassed can feel that his face won't be the same as it was.

After that Adam was taken to the prison, little did she know of the mysterious lady, save for her first name. Joanne was all she told her, as she left her in the police station. After all, she didn't want the girl to be in more trouble that she already was. Adam would definitely be too busy to seek revenge on her rather than attempting to sexually harass her once more.

"Thank you.." was all she could say.

After that, her so called friends spread rumors throughout the school that Adam was only after her body. That she was just used, that she was lucky that Adam was even looking at her that way. Of course, not everyone believed it was real, but what shattered her that day was it was her so called friends that started the rumors. That's when she had issues regarding friends, until of course, she found them.

Flashback Ends...

"I haven't told my parents of what happened that day yet." she said over the phone.

He could definitely feel she wasn't over it, but she needed someone to release all that she was feeling deep inside. He was more than happy to be the wall that she could lean to. "I'm sorry.." he said, as soft as he could do. Sure she needed someone to lean to, but he just felt sorry for her.

"Why?" her voice was soft as well, she didn't know why but Jaune seems to be a different person. In a good way, of course.

"That you had to tell me that. That you had to remember that memory. That I wasn't there to protect you. That I-" she cut her off.

"You'd protect me?" his voice was trustful, her eyes filled with water, she smiled like she haven't smiled before.

"Of course!" he stated, yelling over the phone. She was shock of course, sure she felt what he said was the truth, but hearing him yell like that, that's the factor that made her believed that he really was what she was looking for. That without a second doubt he'd rush over at your side to help you. Of course there was the feeling that Jaune was saying this not because he loved her, but because it was his nature to help those who are in need. But he did said that he liked her, so that has to count for something.

"Thank you..." she exclaimed, how she felt safe just hearing his voice. "Goodnight, my Knight." as if someone was watching, she drowned her face with her pillow.

"'night, Princess." he said, his tone was assuring her that everything will be okay, for her.
