I hope you guys like this chapter because it gave me a heart attack when I almost lost it. Enjoy~

Ari looked around the clearing for her rider. It has been a few months since Ruby and Ari bonded and the scythe wielder has visited the red eyed female nightfury almost everyday, telling the black dragoness about her dreams and family. The grew closer and closer each passing day, Ruby even made a saddle for when she grew the courage to ride the fastest dragon in the world.

The saddle was night black with red lines that marked the leather, blending in perfectly with Ari's scales unless you know where to look. The nightfury never took it off even if her rider insisted it, female dragons were even more stubborn than males.

'Where is she?' Ari looked around once again, her rider was later than normal and that is saying something. They would have been playing or the dragoness would be watching the red loving 15 year old draw by now, something was up. 'Did she get in trouble...again?' the red eyed nightfury roared into the sky and lifted an earplate to try and hear a response. Nothing.

Ari growled slightly as she opened her wings and took to the air, her rider is going to get the thorough checkup before a lecture, that is a promise.

'How much trouble can she possibly cause?' the black dragoness mistakenly thought before she heard Ruby's nightfury call, with a sigh Ari titled her wings at an angle to fly down to where her rider's call came from. When the dragoness landed she was tackled into a hug.

"OH MY DUST ARI THE MOST AMAZING THING JUST HAPPENED. IWASFIGHTINGTHESEBADGUYSTHENSUDDENLYAHUNTRESSAPPEAREDTHANIMETTHEHEADMASTEROFBEACONANDHESAIDIGETTOGOTOBEACONTWOYEARSEARLY!"

The red eyed nightfury's earplates rang with how fast and loud her rider was talking, with a snort Ari placed a wing on Ruby's mouth, stopping the ramble.

"I was talking too fast wasn't I?" a purr was the answer the red cloak wearing teen got. "I was fighting these bad guys and a Huntress came out of nowhere and I got arrested, but than I met the Headmaster of Beacon, Ozpin. He accepted me into Beacon two years early because he was impressed by my scythe wielding skills" Ruby explain slower and quieter. Ari's pupils widened and she purred loudly.

'That is amazing Ruby!' the black dragoness started licking her rider happily, earning laughs and giggles.

"Wait! I can't hide you in the forest there, it's filled with so many Grimm, too dangerous" the 15 year old jumped to her feet.

'I can handle myself against those barbaric beast' Ari snorted and stuck her nose into the air, playfully offended.

"I just worry okay?" Ruby wrapped her arms around her best friend, who returned the same gesture with her wings. "Oh! I brought cookies!" the no longer sad huntress-in-training pulled held out the chocolate chip cookies to the black dragoness. "A peace offering for worrying you"

'Yum!' the red eyed nightfury licked up the cookies and munched on them, Ruby rubbed off a lot on the dragoness and one of those traits were causing cookie massacres. The nightfury's rider giggled at the act and cooing on how adorable she thought the black scaled dragoness was.

"Well, I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow" Ruby kissed her dragon's muzzle before walking down the path to her shared home. Ari herself troted towards the cave she has claimed as her own.

The red eyed nightfury heated up the rock she uses to sleep on and curled up into the heat, but as she was going to sleep a dragon call caught her earplates, causing the dragoness to snap her head up.

'That sounds like a nightmare…' Ari tried to hear more, but the call already ended. 'Can it be?... Naw, he died' with a shake of her head the beautiful dragoness laid her head back down and fell into a dreamless sleep.

Not knowing that she was being watched by two malevolent black eyes.

'Sleep while you can, beautiful. A storm is coming and you're in the center of it" a large shadow flew off into the night sky, he was going to catch his prey when he thought the time was ripe.

OOOOOO~ a bad guy? a creepy good guy? Maybe some backstory that I pulled out of my arse? ONLY I KNOW *evil laugh*.
