The Ice Queen's Knight
'Thoughts'
"Normal Dialogue"
Chapter 10
Richard woke up the next morning to the sun shining through his window. He looked down to see the heiress's face, shown beautifully with the sun, snuggled into his chest. A smile was worn on her face and it appeared that it had been there the whole night. Richard was startled as the heiress shifted position and snuggled closer, signaling she was awake. The boy heard her whisper "My Wolfy." As she took a tighter grip, as if Richard was slipping away from her.
Richard smiled and began to stroke the girl's shoulder. 'What have I done to deserve you?' He asked himself. The girls eyes slowly opened at the feeling of her shoulder being rubbed. Her soft blue eyes met his dim red ones as the boy gave off a soft smile. "Morning Weissy."
"Dolt. Did...did you hear anything I said?" The heiress replied slowly and turning red.
"Oh not much. Only "My Wolfy"." The boy replied with a light chuckle.
"Dunce!" Weiss screamed and hid her face in his chest.
"I thought you didn't like that nickname?"
"Well...it's cute." Weiss replied, muffled by the boy's chest.
"Fair enough. So what to do today?" The boy asked.
"Well for starters you need to heal." Weiss said, looking up and sitting on the edge of the bed. "The doubles round is tomorrow and you need to be ready."
"Ok so I'll heal and you will?" The boy said, sitting up next to the girl.
"I will go get us breakfast." Weiss replied, putting her boots on.
"Wow Weiss getting someone food. Don't let your team see this." Richard said with a chuckle but then received a jab in his side.
"Dunce. Be glad I didn't hit your bad side. Now heal." The heiress said, leaving the room.
Walking down to the cafeteria, Weiss saw all the normal Beacon morning sights. The students all at their own time making their way to eat. Birds flew overhead going to wherever they wanted. Some teams were heading to the arena for practice before the next round. Weiss however had other matters before training. Entering the cafeteria, she was waved over by her team. She grabbed the food for her and Richard and went to see them. "Hey Weiss. Where were you last night?" Ruby asked.
"Oh well umm I just slept over at Richards." The heiress replied.
"Oooooh already doing it I see?" Yang teased the girl.
"NO! I just had to make sure he was healing." Was Weiss's flustered response.
"Uh huh sure. So is he good in bed?" Yang purred.
"Get your head out of the gutters Yang." Weiss huffed and looked away.
"I'm guessing the food is for him then?" Blake asked.
"Yes. I told him to heal and I would get breakfast."
"How is he doing?" Ruby asked.
"He should be able to go tomorrow. I just don't know how long he could handle."
"He's a big boy, fighting is in his blood. Along with that Grimm ooze." Yang added in.
"Well I'm going to do my best to get him to 100%" Weiss finished.
"Such a caring wife you are." Yang teased again.
"Why you little-" Weiss started.
"Why don't you just go bring Richard the food Weiss. We will deal with Yang." Ruby spoke up.
Weiss huffed a reply then walked out of the cafeteria. Yang just held her hands up and got a high five from the two girls as a laughing fit erupted.
In a separate room across the school three teens sat. The rooms lights were off and windows securely looked. "So boss what's this new plan you had?" A boy with silver hair asked.
"Yeah you seemed pretty excited about it." A girl with green hair added in.
"Mercury, Emerald, I have found us something that will be able to turn the tides in our favor." A girl with dark black hair spoke and showed the other two her phone. On the scream was footage of Richard changing into a Beowolf and fighting off Grimm.
"A human who can change into a Grimm?" Emerald asked, startled.
"Precisely. Richard Spartan is his name." The black haired girl continued.
"What can he do to help us?" Mercury asked.
A devious smile erupted on the black haired girl as she spoke. "He can do plenty. Divide them in a way, we never could."
"Well how much does this change the plans?" Mercury asked.
"Not much. We just need him to reach the semifinals against that fool Ironwoods precious Penny." The dark haired girl replied.
"Then what? He doesn't seem to use his powers in battle." Emerald added in.
"Yes but with some digging, we can make him mad enough to. Then everything will fall into place." The three all smiled as they saw where this plan was headed. To the destruction of Beacon academy.
Weiss walked back to her boyfriend's room balancing the two trays in her hands. Of course years of training has left this as a relatively easy task to handle. Opening the door she saw a Beowolf, a lot smaller than the one Richard usually transforms into, curled into a ball on the floor. Upon the heiress's entrance the boy picked his head up and titled it to the side, giving off a little "Yip!"
"Really? Are you that childish?" Weiss asked.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it. I was healing as you said." The boy replied, shifting out of his form and reaching for his food.
"Let me see your wound first." Weiss said, smacking his hand away.
The boy groaned then lifted his shirt up so Weiss could examine."Was this what you wanted?" Weiss ignored his comment and continued to look at the wound. It was defiantly healthier than it was last night. However it would still be uncertain what condition Richard would be in to fight. "So how does it look nurse?"
"Not bad, but you might be fighting through pain." The heiress replied.
"That's not bad. Can I eat now?" The boy asked.
Weiss giggled at the boy's hunger and passed him his tray. The two then began to eat their breakfast. Knowing they would need it for the day. "So I took the liberty of doing you a favor." Weiss spoke up.
"And what would that be?"
"I told your team and JNPR to meet us in the clearing around noon."
"Well, today's the day then." Richard said, turning to look out the window.
"I know it might be hard but I'm here with you every step of the way." Weiss said, intertwining her fingers with his.
"Thank you." Was all the boy said as he leaned over and kissed the heiress's blushing cheek.
Noon came by in a flash as the couple was walking to the clearing. The sun was now shining brightly above the school as the campus was now in full swing. Richard walked nervously, not knowing how his new friends would react to his power. Leaving Beacon would be like debating and what it could do to Weiss. The boy shook his head and tried to be confident. Entering the clearing the boy's of SSNR and members of JNPR all sat there waiting.
"Ice queen what's this all about?" Sun asked.
"You will see soon enough." Weiss answered.
"Are you okay?" Pyrrha asked Richard.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I've taken a lot worse than your spear." The Grimm Shifter replied.
"Wait why did she get you with her spear?" Sun asked.
"Guys it's time you knew. My semblance...it's not normal. In fact well, it might be easier to just show you." Richard then went quiet as the black smoke surrounded him.
"What's going on?" Sun asked.
"You'll see! It's actually pretty cool!" Nora screamed.
When the smoke cleared Richard stood as the same beast JNPR fought days ago. His dark red eyes shined bright even in the day as his tongue slithered out of his mouth. His claws sunk into the ground and his arms moved around, showing off his sharp claws. "Now you see, the monster I really am."
"How is this possible?" Ren asked calmly.
"I don't know. All I can say is somehow my second parents had something to do with it." Richard continued.
"Just so you know his second parents were Beowolves." Weiss added in.
"What!" All of Team JNPR yelled.
"What she was trying to say was I was saved by them. They weren't monsters, we never hurt anyone."
"Have you ever hurt anyone with this power?" Jaune asked.
The boy went silent as he looked over at Weiss. His head went down as he shifted back into a human. "Sadly yes, I hurt Weiss once."
Weiss then stepped forward. "Now wait. When I found out he had this power and didn't tell me I was upset. However he has made it up to me, he even saved my life. And there isn't anyone else I would want to call my boyfriend then him." Weiss finished and wrapped her arms around the boy.
"Weiss…." Richard began.
"Don't, you've protected me. Now it's my turn."
"Richard, do you have control over this power?" Pyrrha asked.
Richard went silent for a second and then responded. "Yes." He replied with confidence, looking the redhead in the eyes.
"Well, then okay. Your secret is safe with us." The spartan girl continued, her team nodding in agreement.
"That's great and Sun?" Richard asked, looking to his team leader.
"Are you kidding!? Man you should have told us about this sooner! Your powers are awesome?" Sun exclaimed.
"Excuse me?" Weiss asked.
"Sun means that we all find your semblance awesome and that we don't care about it cause you are you." Scarlet added in.
"Yeah and that your secret is safe." Neptune finished.
"Wow thanks guys. This actually went better than expected." Richard said with a small smile.
"Hey man, we're all family now. It's what we do." Sun said.
"Family….it's certainly been awhile since being in one of those."
"Well get use to it." Weiss said as she turned the boy's head. The two stared into each other's eyes lovingly. The other seven teens quickly got the hint they wanted to be alone and took off. Sun and the boy's laughing while Jaune cried and the girls smiled at the couples love.
The couple in the clearing embraced each other tightly. Weiss with her arms around Richard's neck and his arms around her waist. Gentle red eyes locked with soft blue ones. "I love you Weiss." The boy said.
"I know….Wolfy." The heires replied with a giggle and kissed the boy passionately.
The soft lips of Weiss met the softening lips of her boyfriend. This kiss was just as magical as all the ones they've shared. Although this one added a tinge of something else, but Richard couldn't put a name to it. It took till the two broke the kiss for him to name the feeling. True love.
The couple smiled at each other until they heard a sound overhead. Looking up they saw a series of Atlas ships flying past. However Weiss's eyes opened up as she recognized the ships. Richard saw this and asked. "What's wrong?"
"I-I know those ships." Weiss said slowly.
"So? What's so special about them?" The boy asked.
"Their….they're my sisters." Weiss said, grabbing the boy's hand tightly and going silent.
"Shit."
