Monty Oum is the Creator of RWBY and everything that is RWBY is his! Well, I guess Rooster teeth owns parts of it too. However, my OC's are my mine and mine only. Sadly they are worth nothing, oh well.
By the way my friend, InTheMoonsShadow has written this excellent story that goes by the name, Check. You should definitely check it out!
Chapter Ten
The Little Red Riding Hood
.
I raced towards the increasing screeches of my twin. Heck I wouldn't be surprise if people from the other side of the campus could hear her!
Someone touch her Dust didn't they?
Yep, Weiss would only scream this loud if someone was screwing around with her Dust. I tried it one time for a prank and it ended with me being thrown out of a second story window.
Good times
As I ran towards the ever increasing volume of my twin, I looked at Beacon proper. The main avenue was as wide as several cars and grey in color. On the sides of the avenue, multiple trees and flag-draped light-poles stood upright, like they were welcoming the future Huntsmen and Huntress of the world. The road seemed to lead towards what seemed to be an impressively large amphitheater that had a glass dome. Before the amphitheater there are strange archways that are connected to aqueducts.
Are they actually aqueducts or some sort of strange fountains? Vale is kind of weird in their taste of architecture if it's the latter.
Beyond the main entrance/amphitheater a large tower loomed in my opinion ominously in the background. An eerier emerald light shined from multiple orbs of the same hue. It was interesting that you could even see this light even during the day. This must be the famous Beacon Tower, where the headmaster office is located.
A Dust explosion of several different types went off in the distance, on instinct I dived into the ground to prevent myself from being turned into Eis-paste.
…
…Nothing?
Hmm, it seems to be a minor discharge of Dust. I bet my Lien that some idiot decided to see what would happen if you stake shaking a couple of Dust vials around. Well, they should have their Aura activated so, no harm no foul.
I do have the strange urge to avoid my sister for a bit. I wonder why though? Then again my Twin Senses never failed me before.
"UNBELIEVABLE! THIS IS EXACTLY THING I WAS TALKING ABOUT!"
Right! I have to save someone from Weiss' wraith before it's too late! Or before she turns them into ice cubes, whichever comes first.
I took a deep breath of air and bellowed "WEISS DON'T DO IT! MURDER ISN'T THE ANSWER!"
As I finish my yell, I finally found where my wayward twin was. She was just staring at me.
Hey, don't be like that Snowy! I had to protect the innocent that you were going to cube!
Really Weiss, stop giving that look! I feel the temperature already falling! Actually is that ice forming around your heels?
Man, you really are Weiss cold aren't you?
I snickered at my pun and Weiss' glare increased ten-fold. I just cheekily waved to her in response. Weiss then sighed and started to rub her forehead with her left hand. It seems that I still got it!
Eis one, Weiss zero!
"I'm really really sorry!" Wait a minute, Weiss doesn't sound like an innocent fifteen year old girl!
I turned my head to see a young girl about fourteen-fifteen in age. She had red tinted black hair with her tips being much closer to a blood-like color. Her hair was styled unevenly towards the right side, which had bangs that was a tad bit longer than her left side. Her pale skin matched (in my opinion) perfectly with her sterling silver eyes and her body looked to be a little bit mature compared to other girls her age. Well from what I saw on the television the couple of times that Weiss forced me to watch teen dramas with her.
The girl was wearing a black blouse with red trimmings on it; the blouse looked to be connected to a black "combat" skirt that was trimmed with red frills. According to her black/red color scheme she was wearing a black corset with red strings adorned on the front. The black belt she was wearing had a silver rose that seemed to be on fire? Okay that's an odd symbol. But then again can I really judge when I have a dragon snowflake on my back?
The belt also carried a red holster for ammo I think. It could be Dust crystals or both. The most interesting part of her outfit was the red hooded cloak that was nearly too big for her. It reached her black combat boots with red trimmings on the side. Well, at least the black boots matched the blackness of her stockings.
Wait a minute! Those stockings are see-through! Wow, how daring of her.
I was only looking at her for a couple of seconds before I turned towards Weiss. To my dismay a slight smirk was now on my sister's face and she was giving me a look. You know that look an older sibling gives to their younger one that says "I'm going to tease you later". Crap it seems that she caught me checking, I mean looking at the girl she was screeching at.
Don't judge me! She at the most, was what, two or three years younger than me, plus Weiss and I just had our birthday a couple of months ago!
Stop giving me that look sis! STOP IT!
"Ah, are you still mad at me?" The little red riding hood stated. She was looking at me unsure of who I was. But I could tell that she seemed grateful for my unorthodox save. It was much easier to read her body language than my sister's
Weiss turned around at the girl and glared at her heavily. Little Red started to shrink under the force of the glare and my sister yelled at her once more.
"Oh, I am still mad at you, you dolt!" (Hey, that's my nickname!) Especially how a child like you is here, you do know that this is not your ordinary combat school? This is a school that teaches us to fight monsters, not for sparing and practice drills. Pl-"
"Weiss, come on give her a break. It's not like anyone is hurt." I gestured to Weiss and then to the girl to prove my point. Weiss seemed to look peeved that I was trying to protect her target and said target seemed to be happy that someone was defending her.
Hey it looked like I was able to stop her from continuing her volley of words.
My twin had to prove me wrong.
"In the end dolt, watch where you are going!" With that my twin flipped her hair around and turned away from Little Red. It was in the same manor that my sister dismisses our family butlers. Wow, that's just rude Weiss.
Little Red seemed offended by my sister's need to get the last word in.
"Hey, I said I was sorry princess!" Little Red hissed at Weiss as she got into my sister's personal space. Weiss looked at me for help and I just looked back at her.
This was your mess Weiss and it was up to you to clean it.
"It's heiress actually" The sound of high-heel boots heralded in a new person to our little argument.
All three of us glanced towards the soft spoken voice to see a black haired girl that appeared to be the same height as me. Her skin had a slight tanned coloring, however like Little Red; the black haired mystery had skin on the paler side. Her raven colored locks went down to her waist and it fit the black outfit she was wearing. Her eyes had a very bright yellow hue to them and they were similar looking to a cat. I mean the eyes matched the angular shape of her face and it looked like a cat. Her naturally looking frown seemed to prove my impression that she was a cat in her past life.
Like Little Red, this mystery girl was wearing a black corset around her waist that was showing off her rather tone belly. Her chest would also be showing if it wasn't for her tight white top that was covering her front. It looked like she had a standard issued metal magnetic weapon holder, like the one I had on my right hip. Her weapon was a short sword with a pistol-like handle (Which probably was a pistol because mecha-shifting technology) and a cleaver-like sheath. Actually as I looked closer at her weapon it seemed that the sheath was sharpened. She is a duel-welding fighter? That is a rather interesting fighting style of choice.
Her lower half had the shortest shorts I have ever seen in my life She had a two-colored stocking covering her legs, they were black at the top and transformed to purple on the way down. These Valean people had the weirdest clothing. I then looked at her shoes; yep it looks like another girl who fights in heals. Maybe Weiss could befriend this person due to their similar taste in footwear?
To finish her outfit a rather large black bow sat snugly on the top of her head.
"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company; one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world..." The mystery girl said as she lifted up a vial of Burn Dust. Huh, it looks like Weiss set off that earlier explosion then. For some reason I am not that surprised to figure out that fact.
She then looked at me, "And Eis Schnee, the former heir to the Schnee Dust Company and winner of the last year Atlasian Traditional Dust Arts Amateur Championship." Her apathetic stare blossomed into a glare as she noticed my left arm. Does she know it's a prosthetic?
Nah, there's no way she could know that. I then made the mistake to look her in the eyes.
Amber met cobalt for the first time and then the feeling of burden and grief started to fill me. I broke off eye contact with her. What was that? I never broke eye contact like that before. Who was this girl?
Was I actually unnerved by her?
Missing this power play between us, my twin smiled in pride.
"Finally some recognition!" The last part was combined with a heated scowl at Little Red.
The mystery girl just frowned at her. I didn't know if it was due to Weiss' response or my lack of one. She looked at me, then to my sister and continued her speech from before.
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners."
Ouch, that must be a burn for you Weiss!
My sister's response to the black haired girl's insult showed Weiss' surprise at the situation.
"What? How dare you...The nerve of... Ugh!" As she stammered out a comeback, Weiss stomped towards the mystery girl and snatched her Dust vial out of her hands.
"Weiss don't you think that a tad bit rude?" I questioned.
I know the mystery girl started this first, but that's a really poor attitude to take Weiss.
My sister ignored my question in her fury and trudged towards what I thought was the Beacon amphitheater. I sighed in frustration; it looks like Weiss is in one of her moods again.
Great, she is going to rant at me later then.
I glanced at Little Red beside me as she giggled at my twin's temper tantrum. She stopped as soon as Weiss started to leave. She surprised me with her next action.
"I promise to make this up to you!" She yelled to my sister.
The younger girl then sighed in sadness.
I smiled at her, so it looks like she is a nice person. Maybe I should befriend her? Hmm, first I should probably cut the tense atmosphere that was around us.
"At least she didn't turn you into an ice cube." I cheerfully stated to the hooded girl
"W-what she can do that?"
"Yep, she can be a bit frosty with people. But don't you worry Snowy isn't that bad of a girl."
"Snowy?" The mystery girl asked in wonder at my nickname.
Huh, I was expecting her to walk away once Weiss left our little group. She didn't seem like a girl to stay around people.
"Yeah, that's the nickname I gave her. She may sound angry all the time, but trust me as her younger twin I know she's a big softie on the inside."
"Uh huh"
"Wait she's your older sister?!" I looked down at Little Red and she seemed shocked at the revelation.
"That's right Weiss is my older twin by ten minutes."
"She's so short though…" Little Red mumbled out loud as she kicked a pebble on the ground that was the result of the earlier explosion.
"Heh, Weiss is going to be upset with you for a while, but if you mention her height…" I sheepishly looked away from her.
She started to turn paler than her skin color. Wow, I didn't know someone can get that pale.
"Is her shortness taboo for her?" Our third companion asked.
"Well, I might have teased her for a whole year about it and she might have frozen me for an hour when she couldn't take it anymore."
"…" My answer was met by their combined silence.
"What's with that look mystery girl and Little Red?"
The black haired girl raised an eyebrow at the name I gave her. "First off, my name is Blake Belladonna and second…that sounds a little extreme for teasing."
"Yeah! I agree with Blake" Little Red said. "Also my name is Ruby Rose, not Little Red!" She pouted at my nickname for her.
Wow, I never thought I would see a pout cuter than Weiss'. No, Eis don't let it sway you! Stay strong my friend! Stay strong!
"Weiss is just a headstrong girl. Please befriend her would you? She just really a ball of shyness covered by a thin layer of rage." I pleaded to the two before me.
They both looked unsure of my petition.
Well a younger brother can try.
Blake looked curiously at me. Like she was trying to figure me out, honestly it was kind of weird. I raised an eyebrow at her wondering why she was staring at me so much. She looked away and sighed.
"We should head towards the amphitheater." With that Blake started to walk down the avenue.
"That's right! I remember Weiss telling that there was going to be a welcoming speech there."
Blake just nodded her head in yes to my statement.
You are not really one for words are you?
I started heading towards the amphitheater also. I then turn around and looked at Ruby as I was walking backwards.
"You're coming too Ruby?"
She seemed to beam at my question. I wonder why she seemed so happy by it.
"Yeah!" With a flutter of rose petals she was already were Blake was. Blake simply turned her head towards the smaller girl when she teleported to her side.
How did she…
Wait a minute, now I am being left behind!
"Hey, wait for me!"
Well it looks like I made two new friends today.
.
The walk towards the amphitheater was in an uncomfortable silence for two of us. I was unsure why a girl as anti-social as Blake, well who I thought was an anti-social person, was still with us.
On the other hand Ruby had lost her early eagerness and was looking at the two of us uneasily. I caught her glance and shrugged my shoulders. I had no idea what was going on.
You have to remember I don't really have any experience with kids my age. I was raised in a mansion with a twin sister and butlers. That's not nearly enough for a person to be comfortable with strangers.
Even if it was an odd circumstance I found myself in…at the same time it was a refreshing feeling to be around girls who were in reality, compete strangers to me. I never spent this much time with other people before and I was enjoying it. Blake and Ruby seemed to be nice girls and maybe just maybe they could be my first friends other than my sister.
"So, uh I got this thing." Ruby reached behind her cloak and pulled a reddish metal block.
Why did sh-
OH DUST!
I jumped back as the metal block turned into a large freaking scythe that shattered the concrete in the spot I was standing on. Holy cow that would have hurt!
Without realizing it Löwenmäulchen was already in my hand as I pointed its rifle mode at the now freaked out teenager.
Blake on the other hand somehow jumped on top of a light pole and was holding her weapon in an iron grip.
However, she wasn't scared of my Löwenmäulchen being aimed at her. No instead she was staring bugged eyed at the reaction we displayed by her pulling her scythe out. I also think that glare that Blake was sending the younger girl was another piece of the puzzle.
The evil eye that Ruby was receiving from Blake would have caused any lesser man to lose control of their bowels. Thankfully living with one Weiss Schnee allowed me to not waste my pants at the sight.
But, man Blake is one scary girl.
"Ruby put your weapon away now." The tuxedo theme girl hissed at the little red riding hood. Blake seriously looked like she was resisting the urge to jump the girl.
It was then I realized that Löwenmäulchen was still pointed at the red themed girl. I quickly shifted the aim away from Ruby.
"I-I just wanted to show you guys my weapon and ask about yours…" she trailed off nervously as she noticed how Blake looked even more annoyed at the answer she gave.
"Well, just whipping it out on us may not have been the best idea." I joked.
"…" Blake just continued to glare at the youngest one in the group. However, a small red blush could be seen coloring her face. Her glare was then shifted over to me; I just smiled at the response.
Blake sighed in frustration at my antics. Seeing this sign, Ruby continued on from earlier.
"I'm sorry, I was just so excited to meet you guys and then as we we're walking it was all quiet and I just wanted to make some friends and I ju-"
"What is the name of your weapon?" A soft voice asked. Blake was now just looking at Ruby with a tad bit curiosity in her eyes.
Hey it looked like my joke was able to calm the situation down.
"My baby is named Crescent Rose! She is also a customizable high impact sniper rifle!"
…Are you telling me that this monster of a weapon can also shoot sniper rounds? Who in their right mind would make such a thing!?
Ruby seeing my face in a mixture of horror and confusion chirped. "It's also a gun!" The sound of a gun cocking echoed in the background.
"That's nice…" Blake was also sharing my pain as she was looking at Ruby in a completely different light.
I mean, I would be shocked to if a little adorable red riding hood pulled out a gigantic death stick.
"How about your weapon Blake!"
Ruby's question took Blake out of her stupor; her amber eyes blinked a couple of times in confusion as the question was being processed.
"Gambol Shroud is a Variant Ballistic Chain Scythe"
"Oh that's pretty neat! Can you launch the scythe really far? It seems to have a pistol form!"
…What in Dust name is a "Variant Ballistic Chain Scythe?" If everyone's weapon is like this in Beacon, I really should have gone to Heaven Academy instead. Only insane people would use such crazy weapon designs!
"Your turn Eis!" Ruby pointed at my Löwenmäulchen. Wait how long was I spacing out? Darn it, even if I thought the weapons of the girls were crazy in design, it would be neat to learn about them.
"Well…this is Königliche Löwenmäulchen and it is a rapid-fire rifle ballista glaive." I pressed the hidden switch that activated my weapon's other mode, with a practice whirl; I faced Ruby with my once bulky rifle and now with my fearsome Frost glaive. I could feel the air around my blade freeze as the antique Dust runes came to life.
Ruby who was closing onto my position jumped back in surprise. Her face was a mixture of wonder and unease as she looked at my weapon. I smirked at her reaction, Dust charmed weapons were a rarity in this day and age.
"Is that a Dust weapon?" She asked in bewilderment. Ruby reached out with her small hands and with nod of my head touches the runes of the blade. Before she touched the runes, I forced my Aura to change the "voltage" of frost that was running through my weapon. I wouldn't want to freeze her finger off now.
As Ruby was staring at my blade in wonder, Blake decided to put a word in.
"It's rare to see a Dust weapon in this day and age. It must cost you a fortune to hire someone to do the work and forge the blade."
"Oh, please like I would allow some stranger to manhandle my Löwenmäulchen!" I lightheartedly sent her a scowl.
"I forged this blade myself and with the guidance of my teacher I engraved the runes onto Löwenmäulchen."
Blake eyes widen in surprise and returned quickly to her default gaze. Once again I felt like I was being analyzed by my black haired friend.
"WHAT, YOU MADE THIS!"
The suddenness of Ruby's excitement caused me to jump back and nearly caused me to drop Löwenmäulchen. Golly I didn't know she could be that loud.
"Ruby, please do not yell in my ear!" The hooded girl just nodded her head in glee, her discovery too much for her to calm down.
I nervously shot Blake a glance for support.
It was the first time I saw her bury her face into a book.
Wait where did the book appear from?
"Sorry, but wow! To actually make a Dust weapon! Are you an enchanter?"
"Ah yes?"
A squeal of delight assaulted my ears. As we traveled the rest of the way to the amphitheater, Ruby was sieging me with questions about Dust enchantment. I answered to my best, but the sheer speed of her questions off-footed me more than once.
Blake just watched on in poorly hidden amusement.
That traitor!
.
I pushed open the door of the amphitheater and we went in.
Within a couple of minutes of entering the amphitheater my group scattered as the two girls that was keeping me company split ways. Apparently Ruby's sister called her over and she went on her merry way, telling me that she would later "question her new friend more".
There is truly no escape from her isn't there?
Blake silently escaped when I was too busy watching Ruby leave. I had a strange feeling that she would find me again soon.
The feeling of being watched returned again and a chill went down my spine.
I wonder why someone was being a creepy stalker.
Anyways, now I was on the search for Snowy.
…It was extremely difficult venture due to the size of my sister. She may be a tad bit smaller than average height in Atlas, but here in Vale? There must be something in the water.
I mean everyone is so freaking tall here! This Eis is five six and I already meet (bumped into) eight girls and seven guys that were over six feet!
I never felt so short in my life! Heck even Hegel is an inch shorter than me!
As I speculated the causes of the Valean unfair height advantage, a blond boy that seemed sickish crashed into me!
Surprised by the sudden assault, I fell backwards and was about to land on my bottom. However, someone caught me.
Turning around I was going to say thank you, but my words froze in my mouth.
It was a girl
Not any girl, but an Amazonian princess saved me from meeting the floor.
Her hair was the color of pure fire and it was raised in a waist-length ponytail. The ponytail itself was curled slightly into a loose ringlet. The tall girl's vivid emerald eyes were enchanted by green eye-shadow around the far corners of her eyes. Unlike my friends I made earlier today, she was tall and quite muscular. In fact I think she has more muscles then me!
Her top was not made of cloth, but instead it was made of leather and bronze. It consisted of two layers; the first one was light-brown in color and strapless and had some inter-knit bronze decorations. It looked to be like a small leather corset attached to the second layer. The second layer is what seemed to be a low bronze V-neck. Her bottom half was covered by an A-line miniskirt. The miniskirt had a red ankle-length drapery that was somehow wrapped around her skirt.
Upon her belt, a "Shield and Spear" symbol could be seen. On the other side of the belt I bet there were some ammo pouches. Her arms left my body after preventing me from falling. She had brown cut-off sleeves on both arms.
As I looked her in the eyes again, I noticed that she was wearing a bronze circlet headpiece that was above her ear and under her bangs. Around her ears there was a singular small, green teardrop-shaped emerald that was hanging from her circlet. It also seemed that she had an emerald on both sides of her ears.
"Thank you" I uttered to her, not trying to look her in the face.
Odd, I'm normally not this shy. Also, why does my face feel hot?
"It was no problem. Are you alright?" Her voice was deeper in octave than Ruby's or Blake's yet it seemed more feminine. It was a strange paradox that seemed to fit this armored Amazonian.
I noticed her hands were still holding me up. My face started to feel even hotter, what was going on with me?
"Yes! I'm okay, thank you for the quick save." I stood up and away from skin contact with her. My face started to cool down as I looked at the armored girl
"It is my pleasure…my name is Pyrrha. Pyrrha Nikos and you are?"
Pyrrha Nikos? Where have I heard that name before? I know I heard the name Nikos before…where was it actually?
The newly minted Pyrrha seemed to be searching my face for something. Was she scanning me like Blake did?
"Oh, sorry I just could have sworn I have heard your name from somewhere." I cupped my chin in thought. "Are you from Mistral by any chance?"
As I asked that question, I could have sworn to see a frown flash across her face. It was so fast I am pretty sure I didn't see anything. But I had a gut feeling that it occurred.
"Yes, I do hail from Mistral…" She told me.
A light bulb just went off in my head! Of course I knew that name!
"Nikos, like the same Nikos family that Ajax 'Telamonian' belonged to?"
Pyrrha seemed to be cut off guard by my question. It seemed that she was expecting a completely different answer.
"No, sorry I have no clue who you are talking about." She replied happily?
Odd girl, oh wait a minute!
"Ah, man bad! I still haven't introduced myself yet have I? My name is Eis Schnee! It's nice to meet ya!"
"It nice to meet you too…" Pyrrha paused in thought, I wonder if it was from my family name or in question about my previous query. "Who is this 'Telamonian" you ask of?"
"Oh well, I'm really into history and Ajax 'Telamonian' Nikos was a famous hoplite that served with my ancestor, Eis 'Blümchen' Schnee during the Abyss War."
"To my knowledge is that not also known as the First Crusade?"
"Correct!" It was always nice to find someone who actually was well read in history. The Abyss War and the other two crusades are often forgotten now due to the Great War ending not even a century ago and the Faunus Rights Revolution occurring about three decades ago give or take.
"You really like history then?"
"I do enjoy reading a good history book now and then. If we don't learn from the past, aren't we doomed to repeat in the future?"
"That is a way to look at it." Pyrrha opened her mouth to continue but…
"I'll...keep this brief."
Pyrrha and I turned to the front stage to see a tall middle-aged man with tousled grey hair and brown eyes. His shaded glass spectacles with a forest green scarf were the only oddity of his outfit. Otherwise he was dressed in a manner fitting of a headmaster.
This was Ozpin, a legendary hunter and the headmaster of Beacon Academy. He was to my dismay really tall also. I thought Pyrrha was tall, but this guy at least half-foot or taller than her.
The people in Vale cheat somehow, I just know it.
The headmaster opened his mouth again. "You have traveled here today in search of knowledge-to hone your craft and acquire new skills-and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people."
He then looked around the whole amphitheater with an expression that made me feel that we were unwanted as future students.
"But I look among you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose-direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."
With his speech finished, the enigmatic headmaster left the stage.
Pyrrha was the first to speak, "The headmaster's speech was interesting…" She seemed unsure of the purpose of his speech.
I was in the same boat. What did headmaster Ozpin mean about "in need of purpose"? Isn't it good enough that we are going to be training here for four years before being used as weapons against the Grimm?
I feel like there was a certain purpose to his speech, but I just couldn't figure it out.
"It was odd; do you know what he was talking about Pyrrha?"
"I am unsure of the message he was trying to send."
"I see…"
My stomach decided to enter the conversation.
While blushing in embarrassment, "Hey Pyrrha, do you want to get some food? As you heard I am quite hungry."
"I would like that." I smiled at her response. It seems that I might have made three new friends today.
With a new friend (?) in tow, I head to the dining hall.
I did wonder where Weiss went…
Oh well, it's not like she ran into Ruby again.
.
Dinner with Pyrrha was a quiet affair, the food Beacon served for their perspective student was pretty good in quality.
To be honest, the food at White Castle was much more scrumptious than Beacon's. But, then again food is one of those great things that the more expensive it is, the better it's going to be.
Our conversation was pretty much small talk and we bid farewell to each other after dinner. I went to the student bathroom and took a quick shower and changed into my pajamas.
It was nothing special really, just a blue wife-beater and white gym shorts. I normally just wear boxers to bed, but I didn't feel adventurous enough to wear so little in front of strangers.
I set up my bedroll near the wall on the right side of the ballroom. After the attack on White Hall during my childhood years, I never again liked sleeping next to a window.
I grabbed my two pillows and made myself comfortable, after all tomorrow was the initiation test and I wanted to get a good night sleep.
Normally I would be worrying about where my twin was, but according to the texts she sent me on my scroll…
A picture of a rather large icicle was clue enough for me to avoid my twin.
Sleeping in a body of ice is an experience that I would rather avoid repeating.
Thank Dust for my Aura and my Semblance; Weiss never realized that I was never trapped by her Semblance that one time.
Note to self; never try to blackmail Snowy with her plushy collection. I thought her dislike for our father was intense, threats against her plushy collection is like declaring total war against her.
Shaking my head aside, I plugged my scroll into the wall to give it a good overnight charge. It would be nice to use to the GPS system on it tomorrow, just in case. You never know when knowing where a river or steam can mean the difference between life and death.
"Do you have room for one more?" A familiar voice asked me.
I look up to see Pyrrha looming over me.
Why did she have to be so tall?
"Of course you can!" I moved my roll over to make room for the Amazonian girl.
Her pajamas were as simple as mine, instead of a tank top; she was wearing a thin short sleeved shirt. The colors were red and bronze respectively, she must really like those colors. I mean even her shorts were in the same hue!
As Pyrrha was setting her stuff beside me, I felt the glares of the majority of the male population. I nervously rubbed my head for the sudden hostilely; I wonder why they were glaring at me so much?
Was Pyrrha famous or something?
Nah, she seems like one of those "down to earth" types of girls.
"Thank you Eis, it would be nice to sleep near a friend." She seemed glad by my acceptance of her.
Why wouldn't I be? I mean she's a nice and polite girl, but why does she seem to be carrying a burden?
"Nah, you're my friend Pyrrha! There's no need to thank me." I smiled at her.
As soon as I said "you're my friend" Pyrrha seemed to relax, like a weight was lifted off her shoulders. She smiled back in return.
"I am pleased to hear that you consider me a friend." Pyrrha lay down fully on her sleeping roll.
"I think calling it an early night would be advantageous to us." The Amazonian mumbled into her pillow. Wow, she must be beat.
"I agreed, tomorrow is the big day and we wouldn't want to screw it up! Night Pyrrha!"
"Night" She was then off like a light.
I then started to drift to sleep, but it seemed to escape me. Why you ask?
Well…
"Oh no not you again!" Two very loud girls yelled into the night, one of them being my twin.
Weiss, can you please not get into a verbal fight now? People are trying to sleep!
I grabbed my secondary pillow and plopped it over my head.
Now, I can go to sleep…after all tomorrow is the big day…
