"So is Chise sleeping?" Taiyang asked me after he recovered and laid next to me

"Yep." I replied before turning away

"What's wrong?" Tai asked me

"Nothing." I replied before pretending to snore

"Hmph.. You'll tell me tomorrow morning anways." He said before he started tickling me which caused me to laugh so hard and then we both fell asleep.

Now

:With Summer:

It's been a few hours since i've woken up and I've started to feel blissful and calm when I suddenly saw Chise sitting alone, It's not what Chise did but what she has been through that saddened me I talked with Taiyang about what I learned yesterday and he didn't seem sure of what to do, So I decided to talk with Chise and perhaps learn more about her and her history

"Hi Chise." I greeted her

"Hi " she said before quietly whistling a listless tune

"If it isn't a bother to ask but where did you get that ring and necklace? What is it made of?" I started asking her she seemed to perk up when I asked her those questions

"Well for starters I got this necklace from Elias who said that the necklace's pendant is made from stone whose hole was naturally created at the bottom of a river." My eyes winded a bit when I heard that since I'm surprised that this Elias went out of his way to get this pretty looking stone whose hole was naturally created in the bottom of a river. "And this ring was given by Elias but it was made by Angelica." She told me which confused me

"I thought she was a book store owner? Or is it her husband and her job is a jeweller?" I asked her

"Oh." She said "I forgot to mention that the bookstore is also a jewellery store Angelica makes jewels and other things inside the bookstore and sells them too." She told me

"ah ok." I said "So what do you like doing if I may ask?" I asked her politely

Her grin seemed to get wider like she was happy talking with me "Well." She said patting her knees "I really like helping people." She said simply before she said

I smiled at her and petted her little red head then she lifted her face towards me showing a bright smile before hugging her tightly as she let out a giggle

"What's gotten into you? You seem awfully cheery today!" I exclaimed before I saw he move away from me

"Well, too be honest it's been a long time since I've had someone who wanted to get to know me and be close to me except for Elias, Ruth and some others." She replied

"You poor baby." I teased before giving her a soft noogie on the head before I asked her

"So who are these others you speak of?" I asked her

"Well there's Lindel Elias master/caretaker, Silky Elia's maid who fed me and always tries to protect me from Simon who isn't a bad guy but Silky doesn't like him, and Nevin who was someone who passed away when I was with Elias since we were visiting Lindel's place where some others were like Nevin but he was kind and very nice." She told me

I was very interested in this Lindel and Silky since they seemed to be close to this Elias so I prompted Chise to tell me more of them

"Well Silky is more of the silent working type too be honest I've never heard her say a word since my time with Elias I doubt she even speaks to him but she's very polite and I've always wondered if Elias hired her or not but I haven't had the chance to ask him, As for Lindel He helped me make my staff as well as he told me of Elias's past he basically told me he cared for caribou and avoided contact with others one night he was camping out in the snow and it was dark when he heard howling but no wolves came instead Elias was there and he told Lindel "I'm Hungry." Before collapsing then he proceeded to help Elias and feed him later he and Elias went to Lindel's friend's house before he and Elias travelled and they became close but eventually Elias had to leave." She told me

I was surprised to say the least of what she told me since it's not every day you hear such fascinating stories from a small child

"So Chise when is your birthday?" I asked her

"Where's your calendar?" she asked me

"It's over there Chis." I said to her pointing towards the wall next to the front door

She went over to the Calendar and flipped up the pages until it reached March

"It's on March 21 when Spring starts." Chise said

I checked my scroll to see the month now it showed January 21st and I got excited

"Chise how old are you now?" I asked her

"9 yrs old Summer." She replied

"You're the same age as Yang!" I exclaimed surprised that my thought that Chise looked the same age as Yang was correct since she was the same age as Yang.

Chise blinked in surprise before asking "So will there be a party on March?"

"Why yes! If you want." I told her then something unexpected happened, Chise started crying

"What's wrong Chise?" I asked her the pulled her close to me

"I'm f-fine it-t's just that I-i've nev-ver had a birth-day before." She hiccupped and it shocked me so much I couldn't say anything for a bit

"Are you ok?" she asked me

"I'm fine Chise it's just i'm shocked." I told her

"Shocked at what?" she asked before I smothered her in a hug

'i'm just shocked that a young girl like you hasn't had a birthday party yet.' But I didn't tell her but then she looked at me and said "It's ok Summer." Before hugging me.

"Did you read my mind Chise? Cuz I think you did." I said jokingly before I saw Chise face grow serious

"Oh it happened again." She said before tearing up

"What happened again?" I asked her

"linking someones mind with mine so I can read them.." she muttered

"You mean you really did read my mind?" I wondered then she nodded

"Has this happened before?" to which she nodded and remained silent looking as if she were asking someone if she is allowed to tell something.

"the first time it happened was with Ruth." She explained "It was during the time I met him me and Elias were investigating a murder when he and I separated to look for clues when suddenly I was being chased by a black creature with a white face and as I ran away Ruth saw me and protected me from it and destroying the creature much like how he did it with the Beowolf I think is how you called the things that attacked you? Anyways after that he suddenly collapsed since he had an injury but I was able to heal him up but before that I was able to peak into his mind and I saw that he had another sister who he cared for so much like he does with me now but unfortunatly died because she was ran over and he stayed by her grave until he saw me being chased then I asked Elias if we could take Ruth with us and that's how Ruth became my brother but he told me why he saved me, Because he told me I looked like his sister Isabel."

She went quite after she told me this at first I was horrified at what happened to Ruth's previous sister and it made me smile on how Ruth and Chise bonded in that sort matter of time and I was surprised as to why Ruth saved Chise his sister must have a very close resemblance to Chise. When I looked at the window it looked dark as if it were about to rain then it rained hard before I heard lighting flash and a small shriek, I looked beside me to see Chise no longer there, at first I was worried before I heard a whimpering sound coming from under the dining table

"Chise are you under there?" I asked her

"Y-yes." She stuttered out

"Are you scared of Lightning Chise?" I asked her concerned she nodded in agreement before another boom of thunder was heard and she ran towards me and tried to hide

"It's all right Chise the lighting is not gonna hurt you in here." I told her while rubbing her head in a way letting her know that it was going to be all right

"Mommy!" I heard ruby's voice shout from upstairs

"Yes Sweetheart?" I shouted in reply

"Can me and Yang go play outside?" She asked

"It's raining Rubes but If you have your raincoats ready and your fathers permission than you can go play outside!" I replied

"Yay!" replied Ruby before I heard a door open and slammed close

"How about you Chise? Do you want to play with them I know that Yang has an extra raincoat." I asked her to which she shook her head in a no gesture

"Ok then would you like some cookies?" I asked her which she gave me a wide smile and nodded

"Ok just stay in the couch and I'll bake ya some of my home famous cookies!" I exclaimed before heading towards the kitchen

:With Chise:

'So what are we gonna do?' I heard Ruth ask me

'Wait for cookies of course' which I heard a sigh in my mind

'Aren't you gonna come out of the shadows or not?' I asked him since he's been in my shadow for a day now

'in a bit.' He replied

'Are you ok with me telling Summer of your past?' I asked him

'Of course it's fine with me anyways it won't hurt anyone. Anyways why are you acting so cheery today?' he asked

'like I said to Summer it's been awhile that someone wanted to get to really know me and Summer is very nice to me and you so I trust her." I replied then I saw Ruth sitting beside me giving me a small smile

Suddenly I heard the thumping of 2 sets of feet and saw Yang and Ruby wearing raincoats

"Hey Chise wanna join us?" Yang asked me as Yang and Ruby put on rubber boots

"Nah i'm good I'm waiting for some cookies." I told her to which Ruby gasped

"Mommies making cookies?!" she exclaimed before she got out of her rubber boots and ran towards the kitchen

"Oh well" Yang just said before she slowly removed her boots then proceeded to go to the kitchen

"Whew." I said as Ruth sniggered

A few minutes later

"Cookies are done!" Summer announced earning some cheers from the girls

"Oh Ruth you're here where have you been?" She asked as she set the cookies in a plate and handed them to me to my delight I scurried over to the couch to gobble down the cookies

:With Ruth:

"She sure was excited about the cookies eh?" I said jokingly to Summer who didn't reply

"As I asked where were you earlier?" she repeated her question

"Oh just lurking in the shadows." I told her she gave me a slight wondering look like she didn't believe me before letting it go and handing me a plate of cookies

"I baked cookies for Chise but since I made enough for everyone." She told me and I went over to Chise who finished her plate of cookies and stared at mine

"I know what you're thinking literally so no." I told her then she pouted

"Ok fine." I told her before I gave her one which she immediately finished

"you're acting like Rubes with cookies now." I noted then I noticed Chise suddenly blushed she said "It's just that Summer's cookies are very very good." She replied

"Can't argue with that." I replied

"Well thank you guys." Summer said sitting beside me

"You're welcome." Chise replied with a smile while trying to snag another cookies from my plate which I pulled it away from her resulting in her giving me a raspberry

Summer giggled then asked Chise "I wanted to ask if it isn't a bother but what about you're dad, where was he?" I glanced uncertainly at Chise who frowned at first then said "He ran away with my little brother I don't know why." She told her before silently crying and I made her lean unto me

I glanced at Summers face who's face was full of shock and anger before she let out a sigh and pulled out her phone I mean Scroll.

"Do you know who will she call?" Chise asked me in a low voice

I shook my head "No Idea." I replied before I noticed Summer walk off with her ear near her Scroll

:With Ozpin:

It was still raining hard as classes went on as I sat by myself drinking my signature coffee 'This is some good coffee.' I thought calmly before I heard the ringing of my scroll

"Hello this is Ozpin of Vale, headmaster of beacon academy how may I help you?" I asked the caller

"Hello Headmaster it's Summer." Summer replied

"Oh Mrs. Rose what a pleasure it is to hear you how are the kids and Mr. Xiao Long doing?" I asked

"They're all doing fine but I wanted to ask you a favor headmaster." She told me

"Of Course Miss Rose what can I do to help?" I replied

"If it isn't a bother do you have a way for searching family names or such?" she asked

"Why yes we do Miss Rose, Why do you ask?" I inquired

"Well can you search for the family name Hatori?" She replied

"Ok give me a sec I'll be contacting Miss Goodwitch." I told her before buzzing in Glynda

"Yes Headmaster?" Glynda asked as she approached my desk

"Can you search for the family name Hatori?" I asked her

"You mean like Miss Hatori's family name?" Glynda asked possibly thinking of Chise Hatori

"Yes Miss GoodWitch." I replied before she started typing away in her scroll/tablet

"There seems to be no record of anybody under Hatori sir." She informed me

"Try checking for birth records of a child born in, wait Miss Rose did Miss Hatori tell you her birthday?" I asked Glynda but remembered that I didn't know Miss Hatori's birthday good thing Miss Rose didn't disconnect the call yet.

"Yes she did headmaster, she said her birthday was on March 21." She told me I glanced at Glynda who's eyebrow was raised slightly before typing away again

"Nothing again sir." She replied and I heard Miss Rose sigh before bidding me goodbye and disconnecting the call

"It seems strange isn't it?" I asked Glynda "It's like Both Miss and Mister Hatori didn't exist until the day Summer was saved by them." I said

"Yes strange indeed, But didn't Miss Rose say that Miss Hatori's birthday was on March 21 the start of spring." She asked giving me a look

"You think Miss Hatori could be the Lost Spring maiden, It's possible considering I noticed no Dust manipulation or Semblanced used during Miss and Mister Hatori's demonstration." I replied remembering Miss Hatori's magic attacks

"But if she could be The Lost Spring Maiden, Then what is Ruth sir? You do remember Miss Rose mentioning his ability to turn into a giant dog." She reminded me

"If you think I had anything to do with that like I did with the Brawen twins then no I don't recall giving anyone else the ability to change their shape." I replied before hearing the academy bell ring

"Well I better go now Ozpin my class is about to start farewell." She said before she left me alone with my unfinished coffee mug
