"I do not believe in ghost's brat, but I do believe in being haunted."

Legion to Ryner Carter

Chapter 2 - Day and Knight

Ryner wasn't in the best of moods. He just had the weirdest experience ever, pissed off one person and has been ogled and glared at from all directions. 'What the hell was that?' He asked Legion.

"What was what?"

'THAT!'

"What was what brat!? I don't have time for your games!"

'That dream,'

"I don't know what you dream brat." Legion huffed.

'Could of fooled me...'

"I heard that!"

'You were meant to.'

As he was in his incoherent train of thought, he bumped into someone.

This girl had blonde hair and lilac eyes. 'How interesting.' Ryner mused.

"You have crimson glowing eyes and you find this interesting?" Legion deadpanned.

'Yes, but I wear a hood over my head, no one can see my eyes.'

"Still..."

'Enough Legion, go back to wherever the hell it is you go and sulk.' Legion huffed and retreated to the recess' of Ryner's mind.

"Sorry about that." He apologized to the girl, helping her up.

"It's alright -" She began.

"Okay." Ryner cut her off and began to walk away.

"Hey!" Ryner turned around. "That was rude."

"My apologies." He began to walk away again.

"Hey!" 'This damn girl!' Ryner raged in his mind. "At least introduce yourself!" She said.

"My name isn't important."

"Well, it's good manners to tell someone who asks your name." Ryner laughed at this. "What's so funny!?"

"I just haven't heard something like this in a LONG time."

"Well, are you going to introduce yourself?"

"Fine, it's Blade Hunter."

"Your REAL name." She deadpanned.

"That is my name."

"If you say so, my name is Yang Xiao Long."

"Okay." Ryner walked off.

"Hey!"

"NO!" He roared.


[Selene]

Ruby stopped pulling Selene by the arm when they stood next to a blond haired girl with a rather annoyed expression on her face. Ruby was bouncing as was the usual it seemed.

"Hey Yang this is Selene she's really nice and super cute she bumped into me by accident and we fell to the floor and I was like 'Oh my god get off me' but when she helped me up we were all 'wow your awesome we should totally be friends and stuff and' why are your eyes all red and angry?"

"I'm not mad!" shouted the blond, Yang. Her eyes were bright red, but soon returned to a violet colour. "It's just some jerk was VERY RUDE!" she shouted toward the direction of a large crows, she could be talking about anyone.

"Is she always this scary?" Selene asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Yang Xiao Ling, or just Yang." She waved and smiled. "It seems your already met my sister.

Ruby was hugging Selene's arm, a pouty expression and big eyes. "We are best friends."

"I don't think I have much choice anymore." Selene laughed. The sound of a hand tapping on a microphone turned Selene's attention to the stage.

{Ryner}

There was a noise from a microphone which was really painful to Ryner's ears. Suddenly there was a cough and Ryner turned to see that old fart Ozpin. Ryner prepared himself for a speech and all that inspirational bullshit.

"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 will only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."

As he finished, students started to cheer and clap. Ryner however, just scoffed. He'd had enough bull crap for one day.

[Selene]

"Well that was certainly… Inspiring." Selene said after Ozpin had finished. He was a weird one for sure. But looking at Ruby, who still clung onto her arm like a cute chimp, she guess everyone would be weird. "I'm going for a little walk, do you mind, erm."

"Oh! Sorry." Ruby let go of her arm. Selene waved to Yang and walked off, hearing a shout behind her. "It was good to meet you friend!" Selene smiled. Weird wasn't so bad.

She was walking to one of the windows, trying to see if the moon was out so to absorb some moonlight to stop her feeling so tired. She found one, and was disappointed to feel the moon still below the clouds at this point. She frowned, and guessed she would have to arrive at Beacon first.

"Excuse me miss?" Selene turned towards the voice, and found a blond haired, thin boy wearing armour that looked old, perhaps a family hand-me-down. "If you don't mind, I can see you must be very lonely looking out on the endless horizon…"

"No, not really." She replied, aware of the desperate boy in front of her.

"Oh please, I am a master when it comes to being lonely."

"I can tell."

"Names Jaune. Jaune Arc. And you are beautiful I presume?"

"Selene actually."

"Selene, meaning beautiful in Mistral I believe."

Selene sighed. "I'm from Mistral. It means Moon."

"Right right right. But isn't the moon so, beautiful much like a person I know of."

"I'm going now." Selene turned in the opposite direction. She began to walk away and as she did the familiar voice returned to her head.

"That boy was oddly… Forward."

'Hello Moon. I see you're finally up.' She told the goddess in the sky.

"I see your getting closer to your destination. Excited child?"

'I guess.'

"Well, it is view now child. Take a look."

Selene rushed back to the window, ignoring Jaune whose eyes lit up when she returned. She gazed out unto the tall towered marvel of Beacon.

"What are you looking forward to must, dear?" Moon asked. She could be quite motherly at times.

'Honestly.' Selene smiled. 'A warm bed'


{Ryner}

Ryner wanted to sleep, but he didn't trust these people, not one bit.

"Hey, Blade!" The girl, Yang, called to him running up the corridor. He sighed.

"What is it...uh...uuh-"

"Yang."

"Yeah, it was at the tip of my tongue."

"So, do you wanna talk?"

"No, I wanna sleep."

"Why are you walking then?"

"Don't trust you people."

She laughed, a little too hard for Ryner's liking. "Okay, that was dreadfully honest."

"That was the point."

"H-h-h-hi, I'm Ruby." He heard a girl speak from behind Yang, and found a red haired girl with a nervous look. Ryner studied her carefully.

"Ruby Rose?"

"Yes, how did you know?"

"My father knew your mother."

She seemed to brighten up a bit after he had his rare occasion of friendliness. "Oh, so what's your name?"

"It's Blade Hunter apparently." Yang said with a lot of sarcasm.

"Hunter the Hunter. That so cool!" Ruby shouted.

"What is all this noise!?" a new voice screamed from down the corridor.

Ruby jumped into Yang's arms. "It's happening again!"

"Do you how dangerous that was!? You could have blown us off a cliff!"

"Oh my God you really exploded." Yang said.

Ryner turned to see a white-haired blue-eyed girl, not unlike the girl from the ship, but less pretty and with a far smaller chest. "Who are you!?" She asked Ryner loudly.

"I am me." He said walking off.

He walked out of the building to see that white haired girl from the ship, the moonlight emphasizing her features, if anything, she looked even more beautiful than before. Lowering his hood, he walked in a different direction.


[Selene]

She had been standing in the moonlight for an hour or so, feeling the rays against her skin rejuvenating her. Since she arrived she had been in constant awe from the amazing place Beacon was. Her room, the facilities, the food. She couldn't stop smiling.

'I like it here.'

"I can tell by that look on your face. You've had it ever since you saw that girl in red." Moon said in a rather exaggerated tone.

'Have not!'

She hardly notice the boy who had seen her and walked away trying to not be noticed under his hood. Moon let her know.

"I feel a boy near you. He is trying to not be seen."

'I know, I can practically smell him.' She turned towards him. "I can see you."

The boy stopped, his hand hovering over a pocket. She just raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to turn around.

She heard him mumble something, like he was arguing with someone, and eventually he stood straight, turning to face her. "Can't I just get any sleep for god sake?"

"I wouldn't blasphemy. They get really uppity if you speak of their only being a single god."

"What?" he replied, confused.

"Never mind. What are you doing here?" She stopped, remembering the jacket from the ship. "Hey, you're the guys who was an asshole even when I tried to help him!"

"Oh great." He said, lowering his hood showing his crimson eyes. "Can't I just go to sleep like I've been trying to do for the past half an hour?"

"I think you owe me an apology." She huffed, storming towards him and putting her hands on her hips. He seemed rather taken aback by this, and again his mumbled something under his breath.

"Look I guess I'm sorry or whatever." He said, crossing his arms. He began to walk into the building again, mumbling as he did. "Shut up I'm not staring."

She followed after him. "What was that?"

"N-Nothing!" he shouted looking away quickly and knocking his head rather hard. She took this to mean he was weird. They climbed the stairs towards the common rooms.

"This boy is odd. Something about him is, dark." Moon whispered in her head. She sighed, at least he apologised.

"I'm Selene." He turned to her, frowning at her.

"I'm Blade. Blade Hunter."

"Hmm no you're not."

"Hey! What does that mean?!"

"It means, I know that's not your real name."

He grew red-faced. "Why does no one believe me…"

"Well, go on your real name?"

He sighed, defeated. "It's… Ryner. I'm not telling you my last name so don't ask me."

"Ryner. Better." She laughed, walking a little closer to him, feeling more comfortable. "So, what brought you to Beacon Rye?"

"Rye?"

"Your allowed a nickname yes." They stopped outside a room, where he fumbled with a key.

He seemed to almost smile at this. "Erm, number of reasons you know, god I hate those Grimm bastards… Ow!" He suddenly doubled over, his hands over his head.

"Are you okay?" She asked, picking up the key he dropped and putting it in the door.

"Yeah it's just, sometimes I have this stupid voice in my head that doesn't know when to stay- Ow!" he clutched his head again. Selene got the door open and helped him inside, sitting him on the bed.

"I told you this boy was odd." Moon muttered.

He seemed to settle down. "Look I just need sleep could you please leave my- My Room?" He stared at Selene, then at his new room, then back at her. "A girl in my room, on my first night?" A grin spread over his face.

"Don't get any ideas." She said, smiling as she did.

"He has plenty of ideas, my child." Moon groaned.

"Are you better now? I should really go to my room." She was about to get up when he clutched his head again, mumbling curse words under his breath. "I guess I have to make sure this isn't a virus. After all, the mysterious Blade Hunter cant die on the first night."


{Ryner}

Ryner woke up to the sunlight blasting his face from the window, and Selene's head resting on his shoulder. He stands up slowly, so he doesn't wake her and raises his hood. He walked out the building, trying to find the direction to their first lesson at Beacon. He wasn't too excited for it, school had bored him as a child, and he didn't give much hope to changing his mind.

[Selene]

She awoke on a strange bed, her hair knotted slightly but otherwise unblemished. She remembered fall asleep after talking to that boy, Ryner, for hour into the night. It was weird, when she was with him she did feel so different. She felt normal that was the weirdest part.

She got out of the bed, stretching her numb arms and finding herself well rested for once. She hardly slept at night, but somehow this boy had gotten her too. He defiantly was a weird one.

She checked out the window, Moon still in the sky, fragmented but still everlastingly beautiful, and the sun rising.

'I'm going to be late!' she suddenly thought, rushing out of the room and desperately searching for hers.

"That boy. He amplified evil." Moon whispered.

{Ryner}

Ozpin was already there when Ryner arrived. "Mr Carter." He greeted.

"Don't call me that, someone might overhear." Ryner saw something odd in the corner. "A...guitar?"

"Yes, I've been trying to make a hobby out of it." Ozpin said, sipping his coffee as he seemed to always be doing.

"I'll give it a go."

"This is an unexpected change in attitude." He chuckled.

"I'm bored. I need something to do." Ryner picked up the guitar, he then played a few notes before going into the song.

~"I don't want you, to give it all up.

And leave your life collecting dust.~

And I don't want you to feel sorry for me.~

You never gave us the chance to be.~

And I don't need you to be by my side.~

To tell me everything's alright.~

I just wanted you to tell me the truth.~

You know I'd do that for you.~

So, why are you running away?~

Why are you running away?~

Cause I did enough, to show you that I.~

Was willing to give and sacrifice.~

And I was the one who was lifting you up.~

When you thought your life had enough.~

When I get close, you turn away.~

There's nothing I can do or say.~

So now I need you, to tell me the truth.~

You know I'd do that for you.~

So why are you running away?~

Why are you running away?~

Is it me? Is it you?~

Nothing that I can do.~

Is it a waste of time?~

Is it me? Is it you?~

Nothing that I can do.~

To make you change your mind, no...~

So, why are you running away?~

Why are you running away?~

...What I've got to say...~

So why are you running away?~

...To make you admit you're afraid...~

So why are you running away?"~

Ryner turned to see all the other hunters and huntresses have arrived.

Rynrer looked out on the crowd of fellow students. Most were in awe of his rhythms, some exchanged sniggered, others gasped in awes again. He was surprised to see Yang within them. He had a smile on her face, but she wasn't laughing. In fact, she was almost gob-smacked.

"All right, take your seats. Miss Goodwitch will be with you shortly." He bowed towards then, rasing an eyebrow at Ryner. "Mr Hunter."

Ryner placed the guitar back down, and walked towards the seating, moved down a row and sitting down, putting his head on the table. He zoned out, his concentration level was slim considering he had a volatile demon in his head.

"I say we make this interesting." The volatile demon said.

'I'm not setting them on fire.'

"Not even the Miss Sparkles next to you? I'd like to see her on fire."

Ryner looked up to find Selene walking down the aisle, stopping next to him and smiling. "Good morning."

"Hi-llo." He said immediately regretting opening his mouth. She giggled and sat down next to him.

"Nice one, Casanova." Legion smugged.

"Shut up!" he said aloud.

"What was that?" Selene sked.

"Nothing!"

"Mr… Hunter." Goodwitch glared her eyes like daggers. He closed his mouth, sulking as Legion sniggered. "Today is initiation. I hope you are all ready, because like it or not, you're about to be in the thick of it."
