Chapter 18lavender scented pasts entwined in a single jade necklace
3 days later
1st pov
Sighing to myself I casually reloaded yet another mag into angels fury as I quietly aimed down the red dot sights as it actually zoomed in, angels fury if you couldn't tell is supposed to be a cross between a sniper rifle and a scout rifle well that is what it is when I load in pistol mags but as soon as I add a sniper mag using 50 cal. Rounds well lets just say cannons beware!
Taking a deep breath in I centered myself and rifle and pulled the trigger slowly
*KABOOM CRACK!*
And like that another target exploded as nothing was left standing
"sigh looks like I'm going to have to get even further back if this training is going to work" I muttered in annoyance as I sighed
Damn it and I'm already at the maximum distance of beacons shooting range
Rolling my eyes I stood up taking the bolt right next to the hilt twisting upwards and pulling it back I ejected the next bullet as I quickly ejected the sniper magazine from angels fury and placing it right down next to my weapon
Now big difference if you couldn't tell between using the sniper rounds is that I have to use a bolt action which is completely different to using my usual pistol rounds as thats just an instant semi auto
And since its a pistol round distance wise is at least 100m to 300m and maybe 500m if I'm really being ballsy and for sniper rounds distance is well 200m to about I don't know 1000m? fuck I havent exactly had the time to really test it not since the council banned me from ever using the damn thing
And the only reason why I'm eve allow to use this now is because I'm being supervised
"impressive show my good boy. I must say your weapon is fairly powerful!" exclaimed one professor port as I nodded
"yeah recoil used to shake my body but now it doesnt feel any different than before" I admitted as it was true ever since lavender healed me everything feels different like everything I found hard is now easier
And thanks to that I am very certain that her semblance is very very dangerous
"sigh not looking like I'm going to get any real training if all my weapon does it makes things explode, hmph makes it seem like you really don't have to have skill for this" I stated with a huff as I stepped back and stared at my weapon with a frown, maybe I should just stick with my pistol rounds
"hmmm it may seem like that but by the looks of it from an old huntsman like myself that it takes more skill than you think" port stated as I looked at him in confusion
"for one your weapon must weigh allot for it house so much" port gestured as he and I eyed angel fury's simple in built bipod, red dot sight and folded stock
"and the recoil from using both rounds you use is no joke, I've seen allot of soldiers both veteran and rookies fire a 50 caliber rifle and come back with either broken shoulders, arms, ripped tendons or dislocated body parts as well as some obvious bruising but from the looks of it you have no problem with this function in fact I got to say if it wasn't for the fact I have a feeling your using your semblance unconsciously to stop the immediate shock and impact to your shoulder I have a feeling you'd be in the hospital by now" port stated as my eyes widened
Hold Ion 've been using my semblance to stop the recoil?
T-that actually makes more sense than the obvious "because I'm awesome" bullshit
"and lets not forget the way you use the weapon shows how much training you've gone through and I know your father Qrow is very thorough when he trains people I should know I watched him train some students in front of my very eyes" port stated as I looked down and remembered Qrow, havent thought of the old man for a while now.
Wonder hows he doing?
…
…
…
…
Meh hes probably just flipping skirts like the dirty old man he is
"well my boy I think its time you should train the other aspect of your weapon don't you think?" port suggested as I looked up at him in confusion until my eyes widened
"wait hold h-how did you-?"
"know? Well even though it may not look like it my boy I've seen many weapons back in my day and I can take one look and I can say this beautiful weapon is holding a very interesting secret" port stated as he walked over and placed his hands over angels furys body
"so why havent you shown it yet?" port asked as I gulped maybe because I don't want show that fucking bitch cinder what I have or maybe because I havent used that mode since well not since I was 16
"sigh its just I havent seen a time or place to use it and I havent exactly used that mode for a long time" I stated as I walked over grabbing angels fury as I leaned it onto my shoulder
"i think not young Branwen in fact I think your afraid of using it" port said as I stared at him with wide eyes
Wait afraid? I'm not afraid I'm just…ok I think hes got me there
"yeah I am, can you me blame though?" I asked as port seemed to smile
"no in fact I think it takes allot of courage to admit your afraid of using a weapon, shows you know more about it than you think" port stated as I stared at him for a good second or two
"hmph but I think its time to end this training session allow yourself to relax, you have a long way Hamish but you will get there" port said as he walked off leaving me to stand in the shooting range alone as I stared at angels fury
"hamish!" I heard a sudden voice call out as I turned and saw ruby smiling excitingly at me
"lavenders awake!" she exclaimed
LINEBREAK
10 minutes later
Walking into the infirmary I casually smiled as I saw an awake lavender as she slowly ate some food
"morning little sister" I stated as lavender looked up from her food and gave me a beaming smile
"h-hey brother" lavender greeted with a small stutter
"sigh I see you've met my lovely cousins" I stated as I saw a now normally dressed yang only with her hair short as she smiled at me happily as her sister ruby casually sat down next to her as she ran back as soon as she told me lav was awake
"y-yes their very nice" lav said as I smirked
"yeah thats what they all said, hows it going anyway?" I asked as lav looked down
"t-the doctor said that I'm completely fine I should be able to leave at the end of the day" lavender said as I nodded
"yeah and ozpin came by and offered a room for both lav and kou to stay in as well" ruby said with a large grin on her face
Hmph that so, I see where your going with this oz-hold it
Suddenly my eyes widen as I completely forgot something
"hamish you ok? you look like someone just took your whiskey or something" yang joked as I shook my head
"uh nothing sorry to cut this short but I need to find someone really quickly" I said as I turned and walk out of the hospital and started to sprint full speed as I had to find ozpin now!
Cause if lavender can heal my everything then….she can heal amber!
And no offense to the woman but I don't think ozpin realizes the danger of her healing her
And I mean real danger

3rd pov
"ok that was a quick visit" yang stated as she looked over to lavender as she continued to stare at the door as she had a frown on her face
"oh don't worry lav your brother can take care of himself" ruby said with a confident smile as lav continued to stare
"i don't think so, it almost looked like he was scared or something" lav stated as her eyes narrowed
"hmmm how can ya tell?" yang asked curious how she knew
"w-well I-its just Hamish is allot like jade" lav stated as she turned back to the sister duo
"how so and from what I've heard from ruby here she seems very aggressive" yang stated as jade nodded
"she is but its just shes very protective of me and well after the last 5 years she has a good reason why" lav stated as yang and ruby grew curious
"why what happened?" ruby asked casually
"w-well it kinda all started when I was 9, back then it was just me jade and my mom but then…..he came into the picture" lav seemed to frown as her hands gripped the sheets tightly
"h-he met mom and she took him home, from there he started coming over again and again always smiling happily as he started to treat us like we were his daughters, jade who at the time thought he was nothing more than just a new dad but I didn't trust him, it wasn't until 4 months later did I find out why I never trusted him" lav stated as her eyes eyes seemed to narrow into a glare
And to the sisters it was a very familiar glare, a glare only Hamish would do when someone really pissed him off
"he came home one day and out of nowhere started to openly grope our mother and the sexual harassment got more and more apparent as he kept doing it not even caring as me and jade watched in confusion it wasn't until jade had the talk at school did she realize what was happening and tried to tell someone" lav stopped as she gritted her teeth angrily
"turned out that man found out and had some connections with the authorities and jade's claim was completely ignored and when she got back home…." lav's voice went quiet but the instant implications as yang's eyes instantly turned red and ruby's eyes widened in horror
"after that night he took us out to this man who started to train us mold us into something, I didn't know what it was but jade knew and every time I asked she goes quiet with only saying that I'm too young to know and it was like that" lavs glare softened
"we wake up get trained, learned how to fight, how to kill and when we got home, lets just say more woman come in, some stay, the others leave looking worse than ever and we did nothing but watched listened and hoped he didn't turn to us, and our mother does nothing but watch from the side lines as her eyes are deader than fish" lav seemed to swallow down her feelings
"every night I prayed that neither me or jade would never see the day when he'd open out doors and-"
"say no more" yang said as she placed her hand over lavs as she gripped it slightly
Lav slowly looking up blinked as she found a pair of red flaming eyes staring down at her with sad angry eyes
"your safe here lav, you don't have to worry any more" ruby said with a sad smile as she leaned over and gave the the girl a gentle caring hug
Lav who only felt this type of affection from her sister slowly stiffened but felt her self shake as her arms slowly wrapped around ruby's body pulling her closer as she hugged her back as she felt tears slowly roll down her cheeks
Yang who slowly backed away slowly made her way and stopped as she turned around and stared at the two as her eyes turned back to lylac purple
"im going to go and grab something to eat I'll be right back you two" yang said as the two girls did not move as she left
And once she did her eyes went straight back to being crimson red, she had a job to do
And seeing ozpin was the start of it
