(Alright! Time for some more of this story, and to show Weiss' fight)
Not Every Winter is Harsh, and Not Every Spring is Kind
As soon as the Borbatusk is set free from it's cage it charges to Weiss, luckily she deflects the charge and rolls out of the way and preparing for the Grimm's next move. The Borbatusk doing the same in watching for anything
Professor Port gives a hearty laugh at the a initial exchange. "Wasn't expecting that, were you?" He asks curiously. "Keep up your guard Princess!" Uriah calls out, sarcastic or not she should try and be defensive, analyze what the Borbatusk has for tactics. Or lack of.
"Hang in there, Weiss!" Ruby yells out to her teammate.
Weiss and the Borbatusk charge at one another, with Weiss aiming her rapier right at the Grimm's skull. Unfortunately when they meet she get's the weapon trapped in it's tusks, she holds onto the hilt of her weapon as she's flung around as she struggles to get out the blade. "Bold new approach." Port calls on with a nod of approval, "I like it!"
"Keep a tight grip!" Uriah calls out again
"Come on Weiss, show it who's boss!" Ruby cheers on
Weiss turns her attention away to glare at Ruby and Uriah, what does she think she's doing? There's still the Grimm! The Borbatusk turns it's head and rips the weapon out of Weiss' grip sending it skittering away before knocking Weiss away as well.
"Oh-ho! Now what will you do without your weapon?" Port asks again watching intently
Will she fix that mistake? Or will she not be able to? She looks up right on time and rolls out of the before the Borbatusk skewers her causing it to crash into a desk, she rushes towards her weapon and slides to grab her weapon again. Good job Schnee, you bandaged it up well.
"Go for the legs! Trip it up and go for a finishing blow!" Uriah calls out more excitedly
Ruby also adds in, "Weiss! Go for its belly! There's no armor underneath-"
Weiss turns her attention to the two of them with an angry sneer on her face, "Stop telling me what to do!" She snaps at the two. Ruby looks hurt at the comment, while Uriah just growls angrily. "It's her job! And I'm just trying to help out!" He snaps back with his voice full of anger. Meanwhile, the Borbatusk leaps into the air and rolls into a ball spinning in the air before landing on the ground.
It keeps gaining speed before launching itself like a cannonball, it keeps going and going. Before it hits however Weiss activates a blue-white circle and blocks the roll and knocks the Borbatusk on it's back, the blue-white circle changes into a black snowflake. Weiss leaps into it as it turns back to blue and white, causing her to drive the blade right into the Grimm's stomach.
It squeals and struggles before falling silent, dead. She gasps in relief having killed it.
"Bravo! Bra-vo! It appears we are indeed in the presence of a true Huntress-in-training!" Port announces as Weiss stands up exhausted from the fight, I look to see Ruby still upset and Uriah's face twisted into a scowl. "I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings, and... stay vigilant! Class dismissed!" And with that everyone stands up from their seats and starts leaving. I should check to see if Rubes is fine
My teammates along with Yang, Blake and Ruby meet up down. I put a hand on Ruby's shoulder grabbing her attention, "Are you ok?" I ask. Before she could reply Weiss stamps past in a hurry.
"Sheesh, what's with her?" I take a look and see Jaune standing to see what was going on. I look to my team wondering the same thing, wait. Where's Uriah?
I see him walking out the door, he's going after Weiss isn't he?
I follow him out the door, turning a corner I can spot Weiss still storming off with Uriah behind her. "Weiss!" I hear someone call out from behind, I look around and see Ruby having caught up.
Weiss turns around with an annoyed look on her face, "What?" She asks icily. "What's wrong with you? Why are you being-?" Ruby asks desperately before getting cut off, "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?" Weiss replies with venom in her voice "You're supposed to be a leader, and all you've been so far is a nuisance!"
Ruby scoffs "What did I do?"
"That's just it - you've done nothing to earn your position!" Weiss snaps again at her, "Back in the forest, you acted like a child, and you've only continued to do so!"
"Weiss, where is this coming from?" Ruby asks pleading with her teammate "What happened to all the talk about 'working together'? I thought you believed in acting as a team."
"Not a team led by you." She replies coldly, "I've studied and trained. And quite frankly, I deserve better." Weiss turns her back, with Ruby trying to reach out her hand. Weiss turns her head to glare at Ruby with piercing blue eyes, "Ozpin made a mistake." She says sharply.
"He did." I hear Uriah say calmly, although with a subtle hint of fury in his voice. "His mistake however; was letting you attend this school." Weiss turns back around and glares angrily at Uriah.
Uh-oh.
"Excuse me?" She asks icily
Uriah snorts and shakes his head, "You think you deserve better, when actually you don't." Those words cause Weiss' face to twist in anger and rush up to him, "How dare-"
"Oh! How dare I?! How dare you, Princess! You, who has gotten exactly what she's asked for all her life, being Daddy's little girl." He says sharply, the words causing Weiss' expression to soften up. "I know your type. You think that the world revolves around you, other people's opinions and thoughts are just a mere nuisance, and people just love you for how you look...yeah? They just eat it up don't they? Like the rats eat the cheese in the trap. You think that due to your money and influence you can do whatever you damned well please."
Uriah chuckles darkly for a moment before leaning in, glaring.
"Time to wake up." He says in a low and venomous tone, "You have acted like a spoiled rotten brat that doesn't care one bit about what others feel. Ruby may not be a good leader like you said, but at least she's trying her damn hardest! But what about you? You; who have done nothing more than whine, complain, and bellyache over what you don't have. Acting like a stuck up, arrogant, high-strung jerk." I can see Weiss' expression turn blank, "You're not ready to be a Huntress...let alone a leader." A single tear slides down Weiss' emotionless face, she turns back and leaves.
Weiss is a pain in the ass alright...but damn if that wasn't harsh.
"Yeesh, that was brutal." I look behind and see Yang, Blake, Silas and Roy standing there with their eyes wide in shock. Uriah sighs sadly, "I know, I know" he mutters.
"Hmmm...now that didn't go well." I look behind along with everyone else to see Ozpin, coffee in one hand and his cane in another. Maybe it's time to leave Ruby and Him to talk for now, "Come on" I say nodding my head to the side, "Let's head back to the dorms for now, this uniform is a bit itchy." I say. With all but Ruby following my lead back to the dorms, she needs some time to talk with Ozpin...he's probably got something in mind
Uriah's POV
God, I feel like shit.
I didn't want to deal with Weiss being a brat, but...damn it why did she have to get upset?
"So any other classes today besides Port?" I hear Axel ask, "Nope. Port was the only class for today." Silas replies. I can only shake my head
As we all kept walking we came across the balcony; outside there's not a cloud in the sky, instead of blue the sky is a dusty orange like the WOOF thing Axel's scabbard has for his weapon. Outside I can see two people talking to one another
Weiss and Port.
I feel a pang of guilt fill up in my chest for a moment, I was harsh on her I know that. Didn't mean for it to happen though, I feel a hand pat my back and turn to see Roy tilting his head
"You alright Uri?" He asks innocently, I shake my head and put on a fake smile. "I'm fine. You guys can head to the dorms, I'll be there in a bit." Before they headed in I hide by the doorframe so I could hear what was happening.
Boy is this going to be super.
"So you're saying that I should just take his recommendation as though he was right?!"
"Ms. Schnee I am well aware that you and Mr. Greene have had...conflicts before. But isn't it time to bury the hatchet between you two?"
"But He doesn't know what all that I've been through my life! For him to assume that I'm just a spoiled rotten girl is just disrespectful!"
She does have a point, I don't really know much of her besides that she's a Schnee.
"And ontop of it all he's a...he's a...smart-mouthed, arrogant, pig-headed vandal!"
Theeeeere's the Weiss I know about
"Now I agree that Mr. Greene may not be of the most respectable caliber. It is my assumption that his heart is in the right place, if you both dislike one another for personal reasons. Then get to know one another; learn about eachother's passions, history, dreams and ambitions. And you may become allies, and importantly...close companions. This is a sound idea, am I not wrong Mr. Greene?"
I froze with him saying my name, crap. I trudge out onto the balcony with a melancholic feeling, Weiss looking at me with a blank and emotionless face.
"Now I care not for eavesdropping, but in this one instance I will condone it. But in exchange however, you and Ms. Schnee speak to one another." I turn to Port and back to Weiss. I have been an ass to her haven't I?
"Could you leave us for a moment Professor?" I ask looking back with a small smile on my face, "I think this may be more of a...private matter." He nods "Why of course! Come see me in the hall once you are finish." He says before leaving, humming along to something.
I look back to Weiss who just has her icy blues locked on me, I sigh and shake my head before speaking. "Look, um Prin...Weiss. I know I haven't exactly been the paragon tolerance and open-mindedness." I start out awkwardly, "But I just want to apologize for what I've done that has mainly wronged you; first time we met in the courtyard, my stupid remark saving you and Jaune, and...snapping at you." I say sadly looking away. Not my proudest moment in my life
I take a deep breath and look back at her. "But you should know that I haven't necessarily had the easiest time of my life, growing up poor I hadn't had much to live on. And whenever I come to see rich people I've just come under the impression they're just stuck up snobs who sit on ivory towers and look down on others with contempt. But I think I might be getting a bit ahead of myself here, don't want to bore you with my life story." I say chuckling nervously toward the end
"If you and I are going to be working together sometimes, and be living in the same dorm room...I don't want to have an enemy for four years." I extend out a hand, "I'd rather at least have someone I can be neutral with at the least." Weiss sighs
"Van...Uriah. I would like to apologize as well, I haven't been easy to deal with either. What with me acting like you said I was in your speech...arrogant and high-strung." She says sadly looking down, but quickly enough she looks back to me with a warm smile "So how about we re-introduce ourselves to one another? A fresh start." She asks
I smile a bit and give a nod.
"Hi there, I'm Uriah Greene. What's your name miss?"
She keeps smiling and grabs my hand shaking it, got a strong grip...feels like my fingers are going to get ripped off.
"Weiss Schnee. A pleasure to meet you."
"I can assure you the pleasure is mine." We stop shaking hands and share a bow and a curtsy. It feels good to have done it; warm, full, good. I gesture to doorway back into the halls, "After you."
She rolls her eyes with a little grin on her face, "You're to kind." she walks through the door way, I shake my head before following behind as well. And wouldn't you have it Port was true to his word standing in the middle of the hallway with his hands behind his back.
"I trust you both settled your matters thoroughly?" He asks raising one of his utterly massive gray eyebrows. "That we did Professor, Weiss and I are right as rain." I tell him proudly, Weiss gives a nod. "He is correct, Uriah and I will not be having a hard time for one another for now on."
Port gives a hearty laugh and nods, "Excellent! Alls well that ends well eh?" I grin and nod, "You could say that yeah."
"Well I best not take up the rest of your time! Rest is a key in maintaining a peak condition, so goodbye Ms. Schnee. Goodbye Mr. Greene." Port turns back and starts heading down the hallway. "Bye Port!" I say with a wave
"Goodbye Professor."
With that, just leaves me and Weiss. "So," I start looking back at the girl in white, "Ready to head back to the dorm?" I ask nodding toward it's direction. She gives a nod
The two of us head back to the dorm before I get stopped by Weiss. "Uriah?" She asks, I look back to her curiously. "Yeah Weiss?"
"Your advice in class was good, should've taken it." She says, I smile and shake my head. "You had it under control the fight went smoothly. You're pretty good." I reply before opening up the door.
Right in the middle of the floor I see Axel, Silas, Yang and Blake all in their pajamas and watching. Axel with half-lidded eyes and a wry grin
"Umm...what's going on?" I ask confused by what's happening
"So," he starts up calmly, "Getting remarried?"
MOTHERFU-
Axel's POV
Uriah and Weiss exploded, yay.
"WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?!" They snap in perfect sync to one another
Uriah rushes to me with a mortified look on his face, "WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A JOKE LIKE THAT?!" He yells out at me
"IT WASN'T FUNNY AT ALL!" Weiss adds in
"Relaaaaax, I'm just playing with you!" I say with the shit-eattingest grin imaginable and my eyes closed. "Yeaaaaah that may have turned into horseplay in a moment." Yang dryly adds in. "Let's just all calm down, don't want to scare Ruby or Roy am I right?" Silas adds in
Uriah sputters before sighing in frustration, "Alright alright...it's getting late anyways. So time to hit the sack!" Uriah cheers out and grabbing his bag and heading into the bathroom to change into pajamas. I turn my attention to Weiss who seems to be cooling down
Hehe, cooling.
"But seriously though, you guys going to keep fighting or are you good?" I ask dryly. "No more fighting over trivial things." She states simply, "Only big things from now on!" Uriah calls out from the bathroom before coming out in pajamas. "Alright Weiss you're up. I'll be in bed sleeping, so goodnight you jerks one and all." He says rolling onto the bunk bellow Ruby and Roy's
"We love you too Uriah." Silas says in deadpan
Today has really been fun...hasn't it?
8:30 PM
Sleep was odd for this time around, never slept together with Yang before...but it's not so bad. What? I have feelings for her but sharing a bed with her is something I didn't really expect to happen. Where's Cheshire you might ask? He's a cat...he's sleeping on the carpet
Just before I was about to get past REM sleep I could hear my scroll buzz in my bag, I silently roll onto the floor bellow and open up my bag and check the scroll;
A message from C
I press on it and read the message: I am outside your dorm right now, come out quietly.
I sigh and put the scroll away, looking back to see Yang sound asleep...if the Arrival is something that may happen. I better make sure that she stays safe and sound, same with Ruby, Silas, Roy, Uriah, Blake, Weiss...everyone.
I look to the door before heading over and opening it up to find the same man from my nightmare, standing over me by five inches. I step out into the hallway and close the door
"So. What is your one question?" He asks bluntly, straight to the point eh?
"Your name. You never told me anything besides C. What is it?" I ask him staring at him, the man sighs
"My name is Cain. And before you ask anymore, I can only answer one question for the time being...it's for your own safety." He says sounding more concerned than I'd expect him to be.
Cain huh?
"Alright Cain." I say begrudgingly, "You had better answer more of my questions when I can." I tell him, he nods. "And like I said before; need not worry about the Arrival yet...it is still a ways away. Enjoy yourself." He says with a small smile
I look at him curiously before nodding, "Right...goodnight Cain."
"Goodnight. Axel Lind"
I open the door back up, closing it before I climb back into bed. I'm still iffy on the whole Arrival thing, hopefully Roy can figure out what in a Dust the book even says.
But for now. I fall back to sleep
Everyone is safe, and thing's are going pretty well all things considered. I should talk to some other people to...maybe Pyrrha.
(*plays Rounabout* And there we go, another chapter done! Now it's time for operation filler, something to spare time before Jaunedice kicks in. Remember to review this story, because I need praise and constructive criticism. Always looking to improve in someway)
