Chapter 29: Finding a Brother

UPDATE! IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!

I just wanted to let you guys know that my profile is constantly updated with new info about chapter updates and new fanfics that I'll be posting. So if I don't post for a while (Hopefully not for a while) just look on my profile for an explanation. I can Guarantee I'll let you guys know.

I was really happy when I found out Grant was a wolf faunus too, it was nice to have someone like me. We've been hanging out a lot and I was really happy to be hanging out with another guy, I love my team, I really do, but I think some fun guy time was in order. Grant and Yang have been really hitting it off as well.

Last week Ozpin actually put Grant on a weird team thing between me and team JNPR. Ozpin took one look at the guy and moved him ahead an entire year, moving him to a second year student and assigned him as my partner. The only issue with that was now I had to share my room. Thinking back to the show, Ozpin always seems to have a specific reason for doing something. I wonder what his reason for this was.

Even though Grant and I actually made our own little team, AG pronounced as silver Yes, like in the periodic table, I was still on team RWBY because two was too small of a team. Ozpin was actually going to keep us as partners and split us up between team JNPR and RWBY but that would totally mess with the partner system during exams and big missions so we accompany team RWBY on big missions but taking on the smaller missions with just the two of us. This living in Remnant thing is getting confusing. Ozpin's throwing all of Monty's rules out the window!

On Saturday we all split up and did our own thing; Blake went to the library, Ruby and Weiss went into town, Yang and Grant were sparring and I was happy to actually be alone for the first time since I've been here.

Grant had given me his extra skateboard so I could start to learn. It wasn't hard either, once I found out where to put my feet and how to turn, it only took a couple days for me to get the hang of it. So I was just cruising the campus which was pretty empty because everyone usually went into Vale on Saturday, so it was peaceful.

Well, at least it was before a voice popped into my head causing me to wipeout on the grass.

"Alex!" the familiar raspy voice spoke.

Laying on the grass, I looked around to be sure nobody was there before speaking.

"What now?" I said gripping my shoulder from the fall.

"Did you find your brother?" the dark voice sounded through my mind.

"No," I replied simply, "Shouldn't you know this? You're in my head."

"No, that thing has blocked me off." it said, "He's pushing me further into your mind, if we can't stop him i'll vanish."

"As far as I'm concerned, you can disappear," I said coldly, "Then I wouldn't have to make my friends worry after you try to kill me!"

'I didn't…" the voice sighed, "Look, if I vanish, you will lose control and there is no going back."

"OK," I started, "Let's say I believe you, how will I know when I find my brother and what do I do when I find him?"

There was a long silence then it spoke, "You'll feel some sort of connection, like something clicked in your head, subtle but noticeable."

"That is so helpful, thanks." sarcasm filled my voice.

"Just focus and think. You've always been oblivious so you might have already met him!" the voice scolded.

"OK," I said calmly, making a mental note to talk to Yang or Grant, "What do I do when I find him?"

"I'll tell you when the time comes." The voice froze then talked a little quieter, "I have to go, good luck."

After that, the voice didn't return. I however, was very comfy in the secluded part of the school, so I remained there for the remainder of the afternoon, taking a little snooze.

When I woke up from my usual dream, the sun was setting. Looking at my scroll, I had missed lunch and a few messages from Yang and Weiss asking where I was...more than two hours ago. I messaged back that I had fallen asleep in the field at the back of the school.

A message from Yang popped up a few seconds later that read, Dinner in five min.

I got up off the ground, grabbed the skateboard and headed for the dining hall.

I met my friends in front of the doors to the cafeteria then grabbed some food. Barely speaking throughout the entire meal, I thought about my brother and how I might have met him already.

OK what do I know about him, I thought to myself, He's my brother, obviously. He should still kinda look like me even though he's changed a bit, or a lot. A click...I recalled what the dark voice had told me, A click...a click. His name… I thought on this for a long while.

"Alex?" Yang asked, "Are you alright?"

I perked my head up and looked towards the blonde and nodded, "Yeah, just thinking."

Yang nodded then grabbed her tray, "Hey Grant," Yang said, "Do you and Alex want to go into Vale tomorrow night?"

Grant tilted his head, "What's in Vale tomorrow night?"

"It's like a midnight movie in the central park." She explained.

"Who else is going besides us?" He asked.

Yang gave a wide grin in my direction, "Only us and Weiss."

Grant gave off a similar grin and turned towards me, "How about it Alex?"

"Sounds fun." I said simply, "Wait, don't we have school the next day?"

"Yup," she said, "But I think we can hack it."

I nodded my agreement then we all left the dining hall.

When Grant and I got to our room, Grant looked at me with a cocky grin.

"You're really oblivious aren't you?" Grant asked.

"Not the first time it's been brought to my attention."

"You know Yang is trying to hook you up with Weiss right?" He asked me.

His comment made my heart skip a beat, sh*t.

I thought for a moment then smiled evilly at him, "You know Yang just asked you out on a date right."

The blush that took over his face was as red as Ruby's cloak and I broke out laughing. Grant tried to come up with an excuse but his voice betrayed him which made me laugh harder. He tackled me to the ground provoking a wrestling match. I don't care what he says, I totally won.

We sat on the floor and laughed. Grant flashed me a big goofy grin that actually reminded me of mine. Click.

I stopped laughing immediately and stared at Grant wide eyed. Then a look of confusion took over his face.

"Where are your parents?" I asked bluntly.

"In Minstrel." He said.

I looked him strait in the eyes and asked, "Where are your real parents?"

Grant looked nervous as I nodded.

"Hold on." I said, "I'll be right back."

I dashed out the door and burst into team RWBY's dorm room.

"Alex?" Ruby asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

I couldn't speak because I was out of breath from running down the hall in a panic.

"Alex speak!" Weiss ordered.

"Gra-Gran-" I huffed then took a deep breath, "Grant's my brother!"

The look on their faces were that of pure shock then wordlessly made our way back to mine and Grant's room.

Grant was sitting on his bed and smiled when he saw team RWBY follow me in.

"So," I said, "Your real parents are on Earth aren't they?"

Grant nodded, "Yes, but I can't really remember anything." then he looked at me quizzically.

I decided it was best if I came out with it, "I'm your brother."

Grant looked confused at first until I reached into my pocket and pulled out the whistle.

"You gave this to me thirteen years ago." I stated.

Grant sat frozen, like his life was flashing before his eyes. When he snapped out of it, he got out of his seat and touched the whistle. He then scanned me over and raised an eyebrow.

"This isn't right." He said, "You're supposed to be five years younger than me, not five months."

I explained what had happened to him when I landed here and he understood. Which made me wonder, did he have the voices too? I think it may be too early to tell.

After everything was explained, team RWBY asked some questions then went to bed.

Author's Note

Yeah I know it seemed a little too easy to find Grant but finding him wasn't really a big deal honestly but the events after are. It will be eventually explained why Ozpin let him go up a year but I don't want to spoil it for everyone else but I'm a reasonable person so if you want to know before it comes up in the story just PM me
