Chapter 5:

For Raven her time in the 'hospital' as they had called it had been an eye opener. She had never had people look after her like these people did before. This was not to say that she was not to say that she trusted these people, she didn't. She had watched and seen how they had treated the faunus members of their tribe and it disgusted her.

If every member cannot be relied on to pull resources in times of strife then they aren't worthy of being part of the tribe in her mind. Even before she had to escape though she didn't trust being alone with the men she knew that they would all do their part when it was needed.

So here she was on a Bullhead designed for civilian transport making the last run to beacon academy as most of her new 'class mates' were gawking out the windows she wasn't, she was at the back trying to relax in the unknown environment surrounded with equally unknown potentials. It made Raven very tense. Not that you could tell by looking at her with her kevlar nevermore mask on.

"welcome to beacon, As some of the few with the qualifications required you have been selected to enter this prostigous academy. Now it is up to us to bestow unto you the knowledge and experience required to become hunters and huntresses to uphold the current peace of the world."

At this the hologram of a person she had never seen before disapeared. She assumed it was an important member of the staff or they wouldn't be allowed to make the anouncment they just did.

Just as she turned round she was assaulted by a small white bullet. " OHHH! There you are! HEHEHE!" giggled summer as she was lying on top of raven from having tackled her.

"Miss Rose I have told you before please do not do that you are lucky I have my aura active if I hadn't you could of killed me from the speed you where going with the use of you semblance." Raven deadpaned at the small girl who just smiled at her and snarked at her "ahh but you do have your aura active there for no problem true?"

This comment provoked a bark of laughter that raven knew all to well and she couldn't help but scowl under her mask as she slowly turned to see her twin standing there. "She has you there my darling sister"barked out Qrow laughing away into his hipflask. Only to find it missing.

"No she has 'A' point sassed raven in her ussual no nonsense tone, what she forgot to think about is what might happen if the person she 'bumped into' didn't like attention being brought their way?" was ravens reply at which both her brother and summer froze.

"We are arriving at beacon in one minute" the captain of the bull head announced and raven could see both of them physically breath a sigh of relief. To which raven said " Well Qrow I guess your semblance has decided to roll a double 6 today." and she walked away leaving one very confused ...friend?...aquantance? ...she wasn't sure but they were getting to know each other at any rate.

She arrived at the main hall and slid into the back so that no-one would notice her and waited for the speech to begin.

As the rest of the students filtered in she noticed that a small group of teachers had gathered behind the stage. She could see Ozpin just as he was last time ,always that sence of power around to him is some man she didn't know the name of but she can assume he is the vice headmaster. As she watched Ozpin headed up to a microphone and started to give a welcoming speech to beacon.

"I'll...keep this brief. 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. But I look amongst 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. " this caused a tidle wave of muttering to break out in the hall even raven had a raised eyebrow at how...unconventional it was.

At this the deputy-head walked up and took over " For this evening you will be bunking in the great hall from there you will prepare for initiation. This will take place in the morning. So go rest up and prepare as you have a hard day ahaid of you."

At this every one was dismissed and funneled into the school 'armoury'. Just a room with lots of lockers to store your gear in. Raven didn't know why but she just felt drawn towards locker 777. It just felt right some how. Once every thing was stowed she made her way into the hall and settled down for the night, if she had the fore knowledge of a fight coming she wanted to be rested. Before it happened. And with that she drifted off looking forward to what might happen the next day... in the unknown future.
