So quick message!
First of all. So sorry for the much longer than usual wait in between updates. Reason for that has been some issues with a few betas. seems as though lately life has been getting in the way for them. As such it seems they wouldn't be able to help me with the chapters I have currently typed.
I still want to keep up with updates at a rate of about a chapter or two per month, and as such I want to ask out to my fellow readers. If anyone would be willing to help me out in the BETA regard.
I really only ask for three things from my potential beta.
1. Please be willing to correct my huge amount of Spelling and Grammar errors. (Trust me there will be a lot)
2. Please do not be afraid to give me input on the manner in which I have written a scene.
and finally
3. Have some amount of free time to help me with this story. (I can understand that life gets in the way at many times which is why I'm willing to work with you if you can at least help me with the slow rate of at least one chapter a month.) As it is at the time that this chapter was posted on 9/29/16 I actually have up to chapter 13 done! So I have a buffer to keep you (the beta) busy for a few months. All depending on how life treats me and allows me to work on further chapters.
(By 13 chapters I don't count the prequel as part of the chapter count, but if you do, then I have up to chapter 14 XD)
Please Pm if you are interested!
So with that said this chapter was not beta'd I just kinda tried my best... Please Enjoy!
Early Evening in Ozpin's office.
Talk talk and more talk! Seemed like lately that's what Artyom's life had consisted of. Honestly… it wouldn't be so bad. Better than having to rely on fast reflex and quick action all the time. But where the talking led to… well… Artyom still had some reservations about that.
"If Weiser isn't coming along then I won't either!" The Spartan reminded for what seemed like the fourth… maybe fifth time.
"Artyom… I suggest you consider Mr. Weiser's request." Responded the headmaster in a kind and sincere voice.
"I don't have to! I am not staying here! I got a kid for gods sake!"
"Please Mr. Yedempsky, Weiser has informed me of your desire to see your child and rest assured that you have my support in that regard. I also assure you that in your short absence Wieser will be well taken care off, After these past weeks I can see that you are no danger to my students. And have instead been a help in their progress. Mr. Arcs tactical and combatant prowress has begun to show some improvement under your and Ms. Niko's tutelage. Ms. Rose's abilities with leading her team more effectively has also seemed to have improve upon Ms. Xiao longs insistence that she "bust out of her shell". You have begun to do them a service and I am sure Ms. Rose's intentions are to thank you for such actions. I am equally confident that Mr. Ark should he go along with you, will have similar intentions. Would it not be for the best as the young Mr. Weiser suggested to go and spend some quality time with them?"
"but…"
"You have my word as huntsman and headmaster of Beacon Academy that I will not, nor will I command others to take advantage of him." the headmaster stated with slight annoyance in his voice. If only due to the level of begging that he was nearly being put into. What Artyom could not seem to get through his thick skull at the moment was that Ozpin was being completely genuine in his thoughts. So much so that the Dark One decided it was time for another try at convincing the ranger spartan.
"Please go! If we can't go back home think about how we would spend the rest of our lives. Left apart from everyone looking only after ourselves with no one to trust. Is that how you would like to spend your days here!?"
'well no…' thought Artyom silently a sullen glaze in his eyes.
"I don't either!" The dark one continued. "You know… I miss my kin, After we found them in that human base, D6, I thought that I had them back but… well now I am separate from them again... Even so I feel as though perhaps they aren't all gone. You know how all of them feel so friendly to me… so much... like family. They wont hurt me. I know that, and they wont hurt you!"
Deep down Artyom knew that the Dark One's words were true. He was no longer in danger. His life in the Metro. His life in Moscow. His life in that Hell, was for the moment simply in his past and while he looked to return to it in the future, If anything to at least see his child, his present currently took precedent. Truth be told however Artyom also felt that he owed the kids. Not only for helping him survive what was their initiation, but also for Ruby and Jaune's willingness to trust the man despite his mysterious arrival. How they two teens could trust him so readily was truly beyond him. Such innocence as he had never before seen in anybody save for children.
It most certainly was not lost on him that there was some mistrust on both teams towards him. Weiss seemed surprisingly caring, At least towards the Dark One, and so far that reason she was alright in Artyoms opinion. Artyom still could not find anything about Yang to really like other than for her hair. Of course he would never admit that to anyone. That and her rather sour attitude towards the Ranger really irked him at times. If it wasn't for Weiser's explanation that she was really only like that to protect her younger sister. Well, lets just say Artyom would be having much more degrading words for the blonde brawler, beautiful hair or not. Then there was Blake, as far as team RWBY was concerned she was still slightly mysterious to them all. She seemed to get along well with all the girls and would occasionally throw in her two cents when conversing with each other but in truth she was still an enigma. She was hiding something, but it was certainly not Artyom's place to pry into it, and he politely asked Weiser to do the same.
Then there was Team JNPR. Strangely enough their leader despite being older than Ruby also seemed to share in his willingness to make new friends. Always stating stuff about how strangers were just friends he had not yet met. Nora seemed content with being friends with everyone as well, but she especially stuck close to her partner Ren. Speaking of which, seemed almost as reserved as Blake was. The Dark One insisted that he hid nothing, Especially not to his partner. But Artyom could not help but wonder if it was possible to hide ones true intentions from even the Dark One. However, that did not detract from his wary nature that was slightly off putting. Artyom had yet to really ask or delve into the stoic boys past however he could only fathom that his rare input on conversations between the teams regarding family. That his upbringing was potentially traumatic. Could it be that Nora was the pillar that sustained him and kept him so focused? Perhaps, perhaps not. Either way the stoic would always just slightly straighten himself from a more relaxed position whenever Artyom would approach him or Nora. Then finally there was Pyrhaa, The Mistralian champion in all honesty seemed like the most sane of all the people Artyom now spent his time around. After being thoroughly convinced that she was not just hearing voices during initiation and that it was in fact Weiser's doing, she... dubiously at first but most certainly began to accept and welcome the Dark One into the fold. More so with the small child than with the grown man Artyom was. Weiser would at times describe the Champion as a sister.
Artyom took a deep breath before releasing as slowly as he could. His eyes met with the Dark Child's at his side. Always at his side it seemed. It almost seemed like the moments that Artyom was truly to himself were rare and far in between. "Fine… just this once!" he conceded.
There was an instant sparkle to the Dark One's eyes. Clearly he was happy with Artyom's acceptance. "I will let them know!" With that said he began his trek out of Ozpin's office in a hurry very nearly teleporting into the elevator.
"This will be a good opportunity for you to learn more about Remnant and the city of Vale in particular than what the books at our library can teach you." The headmaster offered.
Artyom nodded in slight exasperation. He was goaded into it, but now he would simply have to make the best of the situation. Without another word he simply shook hands with the headmaster sending his implied farewells and left the office. He had a visit to Vale to prepare for during the upcoming weekend. Who knew what dangers a city full of unknowns had in wait.
Two Days before the trip to Vale. Late night in the hallways of Beacon.
"OWW!... Stop it!...That hurts!"
"I told you they're real!" mocked out a decidedly male voice.
"Freak! And I thought animals weren't allowed here. Heh…" a second voice. Male as well.
"Please, just let go!" pleaded the bullied victim.
"CRDL just leave her alone!" Weiss demanded as she turned the corner! Her soft blue eyes meeting upon the sight of the team of hoodlums that had managed to once more corner their usual target, the ,bunny faunas, Velvet Scarlatina. She was clutching her books hard. As evidenced by her pale white knuckles that clung on to the binder of the books. It was kind of pathetic really. 'How she made it into Beacon academy like that is beyond me.' The Heiress thought to herself.
The four punks turned to face the Schnee heiress who happened upon them. "Or what, Daddy gonna fire us!" Russel taunted.
"Don't test me!" Weiss warned, having just exited the library after her late night studying session. "You know unlike her I am very much capable of letting the rest of team CVFY know that you've gotten back into the habit of bullying their teammate. They won't take kindly to that. So I suggest you let her go and walk away!" Her eyes showing a deadly determination that was off putting to the delinquent students.
Despite their tough act they truly did not want to deal with the rest of CVFY. Not after Dove and Sky nearly got their arms and legs broken by Fox and Yastuhashi. Each one following the simple order by Coco to…. 'hurt them'. 'These thick headed neanderthals are so stubborn in their habits.' Weiss thought as the entirety of team CRDL stared down the Heiress. However, it seemed as though the thickheaded leader of theirs was still much to stubborn.
"We aren't afraid of you princess!" Cardin mocked triumphantly. 'Perhaps too stubborn or ignorant to her threat.' He released the bunny faunus's ears. As he balled his left hand into a fist. Pointing at the heiress with the second. "And you better watch yourself. I'm sure daddy wouldn't like it if you got a scar to match your other eye." The bully threatened. Weiss however did not falter in her approach. Marching straight up to the bully she raised her arm as if though about to point back and remark against his threat. Instead however Cardin found himself grasping at his reddening right cheek as Weiss's left arm went back down. Cardin Growled back at the Hieress in shock at the bluntness of her non-verbal response.
"You fuckin Slapped me!" He exclaimed. His fist tightening as he slowly raised it. Around the corners of her eyes Weiss could see that the rest of CRDL was starting to surround her. Not very discreetly covering her chances of escape. The hallways being relatively empty this late in the night meant that no one was currently around to be reporting this to any professor… no… right now Weiss was on her own. Cardin horribly telegraphed his punch as his fist sailed through the air intending to land at Weiss's unscarred eye.
However with a quick thought, a large glyph appeared beneath the soles of all the students currently present. With the slightest of efforts all were sent straight into the air. Those caught unprepared flailed around crashing alongside the walls of the hallway. The only one landing on her feet being the Heiress as she was prepared.
"Tsk…" The Hieress let out. She wanted them to stop their immature behavior, but wasn't quite ready to fight them all at once, and while all of them currently seemed to lack their weapons it was still a fight that seemed to disadvantage her in number and overall strength. Such that with that in mind she would have to play to the strength she still had. Speed, and form. After getting to his feet Cardin was once more the first to attack intent on tackling the Heiress to the ground. Perhaps believing that if she could be pinned down he would have an easier time teaching her to behave like a good little princess.
"I'll teach you to respect me!" he hollered.
With a quick thought yet another glyph appeared right beneath the Heiress. The time dilation quickly took effect as the Heiress seemed like a blur. His tackle missed but his momentum kept him going forward. Straight into a well placed foot in his path of his heels. Dove Bronzewing was just now getting himself up from the ground after his spill and was greeted to the sight of a bewildered Cardin falling back onto him. With a painful crash both went back down.
With a grim look of determination the Mohawk endowed member of team CRDL looked to his blue haired teammate. "Sky, you and me together!" With a short nod both students rushed the heiress from both sides. Fists raised The Heiress once more activated another glyph, appearing between Weiss and Russel. This time serving as a repulse glyph that caught Russel's fist and bounced it clean back, a second before Sky reached her flank. Turning to face him he lashed out with a vicious side kick to her waist. Using the last bit of the ongoing effect from her last time dilation glyph the Heiress moved her hand to grab the incoming long leg. Then using Sky's own momentum she managed to vault past it while at the same time lashing back with a kick of her own to Lark's face. Stunning the boy as he temporarily retreated grasping at his face.
As Lark was stunned The Heiress returned her attention to the mohawk wearing punk. With a surprisingly speedy right hook, and the effects of the time dilation now wearing off the heiress raised her left hand attempting to block the incoming attack. The blow proved to much however as the mohawk sporting teen's fist powered through her hastily drawn up defense. Blowing past it and to her face. However using the momentum from the strike to her face Weiss spun on her toes lashing out with another kick. Forcing Russel to defend himself. The Heiress continued on her attack with a flurry of quick palm strikes with the occasional kick thrown in. Each hit being redirected by Mr. Mohawk as the rest of CRDL got to their feet.
Suddenly a sharp pain hit the back of her skull. Turning around she realized that she spent too much time on Russel, as Sky had recovered and ambushed the Heiress from behind. Following up on his first strike he lead in with another left then right then left again. Once more another time dilation glyph beneath her gave her renewed speed necessary for her to hold off the two students beating down on her. Forgetting about Cardin and Dove, as the heiress attempted to focus on dodging the incoming strikes, almost proved to be a mistake.
With a pained scowl Dove was suddenly under assault by the victimized bunny faunas. With a flurry of punches that reminded Weiss earily of Yang, Velvet quickly disassembled his defense and sent the underclassmen flying towards Sky Lark. Giving the Heiress reprieve and distracting Cardin's attention towards the forgotten faunas. "An animal like you has no place here!" he shouted. Assuming an amateurs boxing stance he went back to trying to 'train' an obedient pet out of Velvet.
"Leave her alone Cardin!" Velvet challenged back. Clearly something had sparked within the normally shy girl. Pushing along with renewed anger at the 'rebellious' bunny Cardin switched his target essentially making this fight a four on two.
After a few more quick slides dodges and jumps away from the incoming fists and legs from Sky and Russel she soon realized that without her weapon she did not really stack up in hand to hand fighting. She would lash out with several devastating kicks here and there but holding them off was proving to be a pain after a few more minutes.
Towards the other side of the hallway she could see that Velvet was fairing much better. Her fighting stance had at this point converted to three different styles of fighting. She truly appeared to be a master martial artist of various schools. At one point kickboxing, then judo then Ti kwon Do. It was hard to predict her moves and her two opponents were each being overtaken by the faunas. After a quick jab to Cardin's uniformed chest and stumbling back. Velvet reached out to his neck. Swinging her legs over his head she pulled the boy down into a roll. Then kicked out with her powerful legs sending the boy flying for what seemed like the fifth time towards a barely standing Dove. A tangled mess of limbs ensued as Cardin once more thrashed around in an attempt to rise to his feet. Dove feeling quite content at that point to just lay down for a while. 'Cardin has good endurance… I'll give him that.' Velvet thought coolly.
His fist clenched once more. His blood was pumping and his heart was racing. A bead of sweat trickled down his blue hair as he once more let his aura flow to his hand. Firing of another punch at the Heiress he grimaced in disappointment as his fist collided with another glyph. Stumbling the boy as the glyph once more forced his fist backwards. However he wasn't done yet. Sky carried on with a sideways kick hoping collide with the Heiress's gut. Time almost seemed to slow to a crawl for the slightest of moments as his leg grew closer upon the rich Schnee brat. With only a few moments before the leg collided Sky could have almost sworn this was a movie scene as her knees bent back to an almost unnatural degree leaving her head near inches from the floor. Reaching out with her hands she reached out to steady herself before falling over. It was then that Sky realized were the momentum of his leg was leading. With a wide eyed look of shock Russell barely had the time to focus his aura towards his crotch as the kick connected. Aura or not… Sky had an immediate feeling of guilt in the pit of stomach. He knew… that hurt… A lot…
The Heiress was not content just yet however, as she used the momentum still upon her fall and the slight aid of a small repulse glyph at her legs to launch her slightly into a handstand Kicking the guilt ridden Sky across the face once again, as she flipped back to her feet.
Dove seemed perfectly content with not fighting anymore and Russel was perfectly content with holding his crotch in a comforting grasp as he lay on the floor whimpering. This still left Sky and Cardin to deal with, and honestly Weiss did not want to continue. She herself was getting tired. Her constant use of glyphs being a necessity in order to keep up her defense while unarmed. If Myrtenaster was in her hand she would have felt much more confident in her ability to at the very least fight CRDL to a standstill. But nope. She didn't see the need to carry around her weapon when all she was doing was study up for the next test.
As Velvet calmly sized up her remaining opponent Cardin she was surprised to see his eyes go wide. His hand slowly trembled towards his temple. Then a second later his eyes seemed to recede towards the back of his head. His eyes closed and he fell. Gazing towards the Heiress she saw that Sky seemed to have fallen victim to the same phenomenon. Both hunters in training falling so suddenly and without any visible cause.
Cardin was suddenly alone!. The hallways were empty and his anger and rage so pent up within his body soon gave way to surprise and confusion. Wasn't he just about to pummel that damn faunas Scarlatina?
'Also… what the hell happened to the air.'
Cardin was finding it much tougher to breath all of a sudden. Grasping at his neck he fell to his knees. Struggling to gather his wits about him he began to look around. Hoping that perhaps he might find somebody to help him. 'Anybody?'
"You are alone!"
"Who's there!" He gasped out before closing his mouth and nose. Not only was the air heavy. It stank, much like some rotting carcass. The smell nauseated the hunter in training, and left a bad taste in his mouth.
"You must learn to accept others, or your ignorance will be your downfall."
The walls began to melt away. The entire world seemed to melt away. The walls of the once pristine Beacon academy made way for what seemed like a trench. Unlike the hallway this dirt trench was far from empty. Bodies littered the area. Bodies in all shapes and sizes. Closest to him were the rotting corpses of a child holding hands with an older woman, perhaps his mother?
Looking on in horror Cardin stood still as the bodies began to move. Some half buried in the dirt. Others only mangled messes. Blood everywhere. Hands clawing in every which direction.
The bodies closest to Cardin looked up to him pleading, with the a pained expression on their rotting faces. His stomach couldn't take it. He felt sick. As a hunter even Cardin knew of the dangers that came with the occupation. These people though…. No Grimm attacked them. Grimm would not leave evidence. Grimm don't attack people only to hurt them . These mangled messes were not dead or dying as a result of the creatures he was training to fight. No. Something much worse than the Grimm got to these people. If Cardin wasn't using all his will power to keep from upchucking he might have instead found it in his heart to try and comfort some of those dying figures clawing the air in front of him.
Alas, this was not meant to be.
"This is a world of many dangers. This is but only one possibility Cardin."
Around the school bullies feet several hands sprouted from the dark ashen earth. Then each made to grab at his trembling form. Slowly Cardin began to sink into the ashen ground.
Forgetting about the heavy air. Carding let out a loud shriek of terror. "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AAAHHH!" His arms flailing around looking desperately for something solid to hold on to. His hands found no such such thing.
"Fight together! Or die alone."
Cardin kept screaming until at last his head went beneath the rotten Earth. Muffling the terrifying cry for help.
"Weiss!" The Dark One called out. Jogging over to the Heiress. Making sure to step over the passed out bodies of Team CRDL.
"Weiser!"
"Are you okay?" A glint of concern within his small black Slovakian eyes.
Weiss began to examine her arm, torso and legs. Stretching them out to better evaluate herself. "I may be feeling a little sore tomorrow." She responded. "But what happened to them?" she questioned looking a the fallen team CRDL. Considering for the slightest of moments if she should take some pity on the team and look for the school nurse.
"Perhaps they are exhausted?" The Dark One reasoned. "You may be stronger than you know."
Weiss kept staring at the unconscious form of Russel and Sky. Doubt in her mind. 'I did not do this… but what did?'
Before she could further ponder the phenomenon her thoughts were interrupted by the faunas present. "Hello!" she greeted rather glad to meet a fellow faunas sympathizer. Her smile fading when her eyes met with Weiss's. She scowled at the bunny. Her families history despite her own insistence to get away from it still had a hold on her. That much was evident as with a simple "hmph" and shake of her head in the direction opposite of the faunus she began to walk away.
"Hey wait!" Velvet called out, trying to once more gain the Schnee's attention. Weiss halted her retreat after several more steps. Allowing the faunus to approach her as she turned to meet her gaze. "I just wanted to say thank you. For helping me with those bullies. I don't like fighting other people, and try and avoid it when I can. But you standing up for me was… well…" Velvet's cheeks flushed a slight tinge of red as she thought about the correct word to describe the action. "Inspirational." She decided. "Oh sorry for not introducing myself first. My name is Velvet, Velvet Scarlatina." Velvet extended her hand out waiting to shake with Weiss.
The Heiress response however caused a stifled gasp from the Faunas. "I did not do it for you. I just don't approve of Cardin's actions. Now if you'll excuse me my team is expecting me." And with that she left a bewildered Velvet. 'I guess all Schnees are like that then…' She thought sadly. Not noticing that the small unknown child went on to catch up to Weiss.
Weiss was treading along at a quick pace. Nearly speed walking if one was to look for her. The smaller child behind her had to nearly jog in order to keep up.
"You are sure that you are okay?"
"I'm fine!" she responded defensively.
"Really?" Weiser responded with a tone of doubt.
"Yes really!"
"I do not want to be rude in asking… but I think I have too… Why did you speak like that to that her?" The Slovakian child asked referring to the Bunny Faunas. He had yet to personally meet and greet with the bunny faunas but could clearly recall seeing her in several of his friends classes.
"Because I'm a Schnee and Velvet's a faunas."
"Faunas?" The disquised Dark One questioned. He had heard of the faunas, in the pseudo lectures that Mr... err… Dr. Oobleck gave Artyom in the privacy of their dorm. They appeared as humans as anyone else save for some distinct animal appendage. In Velvet's case it was her rather large bunny ears. he could understand some amount of wariness towards the faunas. After all he did not really know too many. In fact he only had one faunas friend. At least he considered her a friend… no… a sister… yeah… a sister…
Such that caution at experiencing or meeting something knew is to be expected, at least for him. However unlike him the Schnee heiress has lived here her whole life. Has she not? Surely it wasn't fear was it?
"Yes she's a faunas" Weiss explained. As if that was all the reasoning she needed to give. "You do know what faunas are right?"
"Well yes I do."
"Then I do not need to explain any further. All faunas are nothing more than delinquents." She stated a matter of fact tone. "They lie, cheat, steal, and…. And murder. That's all they know how to do!"
"Why stand against the brutes?" The Dark One once more asked in reference to Team CRDL. "Why defend that faunas?"
"Because even though Cardin and his band are human. They are also among the worst to offer." She explained. "The faunas may be bad, but if, we as humans stoop to their level that makes us worse. If we act just like them than… What set's us apart from them?"
"Nothing"
"Exactly!"
"No, I mean that nothing sets human and faunas apart. Both are one and the same. You are all family." The Dark One stated so matter a factly. It truly took the heiress off guard at the sincerity behind his telepathic voice. "And I thought you got along well with your whole team."
"Ruby may need to mature a little more but… she isn't so bad." Wiess replied defensively.
"I was not talking about Ruby." Weiser added.
"Well Yang could stand to learn a lesson or two from Ruby but she is a capable huntress in her own right" Weiss attempted for a second time. "Honestly though sometimes I wonder if Blake isn't the one with the most promise out of all of them. She could be a really good huntress if she spent just a little more time studying instead of reading her…" Weiss sighed. "art…"
"Not as good as I am though!" Weiss corrected shortly thereafter.
"Would all that promise really be good in the hands of a Faunas then?" Weiser questioned with a curious note to his voice.
Weiss stopped her pacing. Presently she just had to round the next corner and she would be in the hallway just outside the RWBY and JNPR dorm rooms. Her eyes nearly as wide as saucers. 'What could he possibly mean?' Weiss thought to herself blissfully unaware of the Dark One's ability to read the thoughts of those he as had more intimate contact with.
"I mean to ask a question. Is it so good to have people like Blake and Velvet training to be a the protectors of Remnant?"
It hit Weiss so suddenly that she never got a chance to consider the implications. "She… you mean… Blake is a faunas?"
"You did not know?" The Dark One asked with a hint of concern in his telepathic tone. 'Blake hasn't shown or told her friends?' "Forgive me Weiss perhaps it was not my place to inform you yet." 'What ever Blake's reasons for not informing her team I might have just made null… unless…' "Please Weiss You were not suppose to learn this…. I see that now… Would you please keep quite about this?"
'Why would she not tell us this… a faunas right under our noses… and we had no idea... all these months and she doesn't trust us with knowing that much about her.' Weiss's light blue eyes filled with determination. "I am going to confront her about this!"
"No! Please. You said it yourself she has much potential, so maybe she has a good reason for not telling team RWBY."
'I did say that didn't I…' To say that Weiss was angry would have been an understatement. 'Butshes a faunus!' She was furious… and also… confused? She had never had any formal relationship with a faunas before in any sense of the word. In fact the only faunus she had ever really spoken to were the Schnee estates faunas caregivers. Even then interactions with them were always limited to the heiress ordering them around. So then if Blake truly was a faunas, and since she was a Schnee could they really be a friends? After all she wasn't exactly hiding her own lineage. The Schnee family was well known world wide by faunas and human kind. Yet other than for that initial confrontation about her family business's controversial practices she had kept rather quite about anything further against the Schnee heiress or her family. "Fine Weiser… I won't say anything yet… but I will be keeping a closer eye on her." 'That and I need time to think about this…' She thought solemnly. 'If she can't trust us to know she is a faunus. How can we trust her?... '
"Please think about this when you are ready I hope you can give me an answer."
With a short nod Weiss continued walking. Her skirt swaying along with her hips with every step. Pulling out her scroll as she turned the corner the opening of a door signaled to the Dark One that Weiss had entered her room. It did not hurt that despite having a few walls in the way he could still see the heiress and her team. Each one welcoming and then wishing her a good night.
With a short sigh from the uniformed Slovakian boy he to turned back towards the instructor dorm building.
"Hiya!..." Ruby greeted excitedly at the return of her partner. Said partner simply responding with and uncharacteristic wave of her hand. "Weiss?" she questioned. "Is everything okay?" The Reaper questioned. Prompting the other two members of team RWBY to look up from what they were doing. Yang combing her hair, and Blake reading from her 'art' book.
"Everything is fine Ruby. Thank you for asking" Weiss responded as she gave Ruby and Yang a reassuring smile. However as her eyes glanced over Blake. She couldn't help bet let the slightest of scowls escape her visage. No noise escaped her lips however, as she went into her drawer pick out her sleeping gown and then proceeded to the restroom.
After the door closed behind her everyone shared a cautious look with each other.
"What was that?" Questioned Yang.
With a shrug from her two teammates. It seemed as though they all reached a silent agreement to allow the heiress some time for herself as she resolved what ever issue she was currently dealing with. Several minutes later the Heiress reappeared from the restroom door. Fully dressed in her white night gown, and her uniform in her hands. After setting away her uniform she climbed into bed pulling the sheets over her head. "Good night!" she murmured from under the covers.
Once more the rest of RWBY shared a worried look before Ruby responded. "Alright then... bed time I guess. Good night everybody." One by one the girls changed into their sleepwear and got into bed. Leaving Yang to be the last into bed to turn off the lights. With a single click the room went dark.
Weiss knows! XD.
Finally got the trip to Vale set up! Soo next two chapters... They gonna get interesting... or at least they are to me XD.
Fave, Follow, Comment yada yada...
