Back in the Present

Weiss Schnee was rather unfocussed in Professor Port's class. Her hunger for blood made her all the more irritable, and Ports tales of how he killed a Grimm were not helping matters either. As the classes was either writing down notes or taking a quick power nap, there was a knock at the door.

"And then I…Oh, come in." Called out the professor.

The door swung open to reveal Professor Ozpin standing in the doorway, cane in one hand and a coffee mug in the other. The students taking a nap, including Yang sprung awake, as if they sensed him in the room. All the students including Weiss stared intently at the headmaster, waiting for him to speak.

"Hello professor. May I borrow Weiss for a minute?"

Ruby looked at Weiss, worried that she would be in trouble. Weiss gave her a quick gesture, as if she was saying 'everything's okay Ruby'.

"Of course you may."

Weiss got up from her desk and walked out of the room where Ozpin stood in the hallway. After she left, she shut the room's door, quickly catching a glimpse of Ruby's concerned face.

"Hello Miss Schnee, how have your studies been?"

"Rather well professor." Weiss answered confidently.

"Well, considering your nightly escapades into the city, I am rather surprised you are doing well."

He knew. The professor at Beacon Academy, a very powerful huntsman no less, knew Weiss was a vampire.

"I… I don't know what you're talking about. Vampires are just stories." Weiss said, decided to play dumb.

"Don't try to fool me Weiss; I am well aware at what you have been up to. I feel like I can help you. Meet me at my office after you are done with tonight's escapade and make sure you're alone."

Weiss wandered how he knew that she would head into the city to chase down criminals and drink their blood. Weiss decided it would be best to do what Ozpin said.

"Okay."

After attending classes and having 'dinner', Weiss feigned sleep as her friends went to bed. Weiss did your regular procedure; she went into the city and chased down a criminal she had been following for some time. He was the worst kind of criminal too, a rapist. Weiss quickly dispatched of him, giving no second thought.

As Weiss walked up to Ozpin's office, she wandered how he could help her. She wandered that if she was a vampire, then why has she not burned up yet? Her skin felt rather hot in the day time, but she has not been burnt to a cinder like old vampire stories say. She took the elevator up to the office and was lost in her own thoughts.

'Would Ozpin call me up to his office just so he can kill me?' That horrible thought entered Weiss's mind. In the stories she read, vampires were often hunted down and killed for the crimes. She would hunt down those who committed crimes. She has never taken an innocent life.

'Well I did kill that nurse...' Weiss instantly stopped that thought. Did Ozpin catch wind that there was a monster in his school? Weiss pushed these thought to the back of her head as she entered the office.

Ozpin kept his back towards Weiss as he opened the window.

"Did you come here alone?" He said as he turned.

Weiss simply nodded to the headmaster.

"Very well." He turned towards the open window.

"Its safe old friend, you can come in now." Ozpin called out into the dark.

"What are you..?"

Before Weiss could complete her question, a large black bat flew through the window. Weiss instantly got down and low to ground. If there was anything Weiss could not stand, it was bats. The bat landed on the ground and suddenly shifted form. It turned into a tall man. The man had long black hair and ebony eyes. He had pale skin similar to Weiss. His features were old and ancient.

"Hello Ozpin, lovely evening." The man said.

The man wore a long black cloak with the hood pulled back revealing that his cheeks were sunken in. Ozpin did not look amused by the man, if anything; Ozpin looked rather upset that he was here.

"Weiss, this is Vlad Helsing. He is a rather old friend of mine."

"You're the man who turned me into this Beast!" Weiss screamed as she pulled out her sword and ran towards him. Vlad pulled out a long sword and countered her blade.

"MISS SCHNEE!" Ozpin raised his voice, a rather rare occurrence.

The two pulled away and looked at the headmaster.

"We have come to discuss this like civil people. I do believe I did not bring you two together just to exchange blows. Sit down." Ozpin ordered the two.

Weiss sat down but Vlad still up.

"Weiss, this man is Vlad. He is a vampire like you."

Weiss hated being called a vampire. She hated being branded with that title. It was the mark of a monster rather than a human being. She turned and gave Vlad a stare that would send any Grimm running for the hills. Vlad simply looked at her with a look of pity.

"Vlad was the one who saved your life by giving you some of his blood. He has been reprimanded for his actions. He has come here with an offer.

"What would that be?"

Vlad looked at Weiss, his face now changing to a look of seriousness.

"I know that I have condemned you to this life. And I know that no amount of apologies will make it up for all the blood you have spilt. I have decided to teach how to control your hunger and teach you."

"Teach me what?"

"Abilities that you never even knew you had."

"I have so many questions for you."

"All in good time, Weiss. All in good time."

Ozpin noticed and decided cut in on the conversation.

"You will begin your training with Vlad on during the weekend. Your team will be informed, though we will not tell anyone of why you're training with Vlad. To anyone who asked, this conversation never happened."

Weiss nodded her head. Why would she be training with a man who turned her into a monster and pretty much said that killing in the name of survival is okay.

"Now Weiss, you may leave. Vlad and I still have much to discuss."

A/N: Weiss's training has begun. She will learn more about the vampires. Will she be able to learn of her new talents? How will her team deal with her being gone? And how does This Vlad character know about her? I decided to name him Vlad Helsing as a reference to a rather famous vampire story. Can you guess where their from?

To JohnDoe777: Yes, I named him Vlad in reference to the vampire and the man who inspired Dracula. There will be more references to other monster archetypes when the others come around.

To truefortune: No, only Weiss will be a vampire. We will see more vampires, some with different motives.

To Tatopatato: I did not know that I was inadvertently making that reference while I was writing the last chapter. I kind of walked straight into that one.

To Manticore-gurl071134: You must really like this story Manticore. There will be more twists and a turn as the stories goes along.

Have an awesome day!
