-FOLLOWING THE OC-
Alec awoke with a huff, breaking himself free from a nightmare, he looks around and decides to explore his new surroundings. He is able to make out a door, and so he throws the blankets off and ventures out into the hallways. A glowing sign hands on the left wall, "Library", and so, Alec follows the signs to the library. As he approaches the door, he nearly jumps out of his skin as he bumps into something, and falls over. As he looks up, he is greeted with 2 Amber eyes.
"Oh, hello. What are you doing up this late?" Blake extends a hand, which Alec gladly takes, and pulls him up. "I was just exploring a bit, you know, to get a better sense of my surroundings, but so far I've only walked in darkness and bumped into you. Aaah, sorry if I touched any of your.. you know, lady bits." Blake chuckles a little bit and replies with "That's quite alright, Alec. We're all known for errors, isn't that how we evolve?" Alec shrugs and looks around. "I suppose. Are there any lights?" Blake shakes her head. "Lights turn on at 9:00 automatically, it's 2:35 right now, so we're in darkness for a while." "Guh.. damnit. I hate the dark, and it doesn't help that I had a nightmare not too long ago either." Blake takes his hand and leads him to a chair. "What was it about?" Alec lays his head down on the table in between his arms and recollects his nightmare.
"It was about.. I was running through a forest, it was on fire, and there was this.. grotesque monster chasing me, it had 3 arms, each one was broken, but they still worked, it shot green darts from the rips in its skin and when I fell over, each of its arms turned into saws, and started cutting my flesh." Blakes' eyes widened and she leans back a bit. "Wow, that's a bit of a nightmare you've got going on there." Alec nods and looks down at his hands. "Say.. why is Weiss so.. like how she is?" The Amber eyes disappeared briefly, then reappeared. "She's the daughter of the most powerful company in Vale, the Schnee Dust Company, and so, she was held to high standards. She wasn't able to make any friends because her father kept her from everyone except her company." Alec blinked twice and looked behind him. "So.. she's rich and a bitch?" Blake nods. "Has she made any friends?" "I don't know. She has been getting quite.. funny around Ruby, but not anything that big." Alec runs his fingers through his hair and sighs. "Christ.. I've never understood girls. They're so confusing."
Suddenly, the lights flickered to life, and their surroundings lit up. Alec could see display cabinets, full of awards and books, signs on the wall, "A good Hunter always researches his Grimm!". Alec looked at the clock, 5:00. "What? Wasn't it supposed to be on at 9?" Blake looked at the clock as well, before looking back at the confused Alec. "Hm, weird, it usually is on at 9:00. Come, Weiss should be up now, she'll be eager to start training you." Alec stood up and tilted his head. "Isn't she a bitch?" He walked beside her, both of them being quiet to not disturb the other students. "Once you get to know her, you'll get used to it. All she wants is the best."
Alec nodded and looked at the door to RWBY's room, Blake opened it and entered. Alec stayed outside and waited a moment, until Blake noticed he hadn't entered. "What, do you need an entry ticket or something?" Alec shook his head. "You girls usually like it when we don't enter your rooms until invited." Blake sighed and gestured him in, when Alec entered, she closed the door. He looked around the room, clothes were scattered around one side of the room, most likely being Yang's, towering overhead was a bookshelf, filled with around 50 books. On the other side of the room, all of the clothes were packed into a neat pile in a dresser drawer, being white clothes, they would likely be Weiss's, considering she's a rich girl. Ontop of the dresser, there were a few stuffed animals, none Alec had ever seen before, Werewolves, Bears, he could only thing of those as being Ruby's, since she looked like the youngest of the team.
However, these were only assumptions. An alarm rung around the room, Ruby rolled over and Yang shoved her head under a pillow. "Five more minutes!" Yang called out. Weiss took off her blankets and stepped onto the floor. She wore a pretty sleeping gown, before getting dressed, she started making her bed perfect. Turning a head, she didn't instantly notice Alec standing in the room, watching her work. When she did, she didn't look that happy about it. "Hey! What are YOU doing in here?! Shouldn't you be back at home or something? You're only, like, twelve!" Alec shook his head and looked down. "No home. Portal happened, took it all away." Weiss made a "Hmph!" noise, took her clothes, and went into the bathroom. Once she came out, Weiss found him standing at the window, alone. Blake had left once more for the library, and Yang and Ruby were still asleep.
He had rolled up his sleeves and started running his finger along the many scars that he had. Knife wounds, bad ones, at that. One of the major problems of living in a bad neighborhood. There was also a major difference in clothing, gender wise, but also style. Weiss wore a white dress, that would fit the fashion styles of a rich girl, he, however, wore a black and white sweater, with green and grey designs littering it. He also wore jeans, and steel toed boots. In those steel toe boots, a pair of white wool socks. "Hmm.. perhaps she doesn't..?" He started talking to himself. Weiss walked towards and stood behind him, looking outside. "Hopefully it'll be a nice day, that way, we'll get as much training done as possible." Alec turned his head and rolled down his sleeve. "With what, though? I don't have a weapon, not the one I want, anyways. Besides, aren't I too young to be at this school? Shouldn't I be home with my family?" She put her hand on his shoulder and spoke once more. "The Headmaster said that if you were able to become a warrior, and not one of the terrible ones, you were allowed to stay." Alec nodded and looked back out the window. Weiss lifted her hand and turned around. "Come with me, I'll make you some breakfast." Alec spun around and looked around the room. "There's a kitchen in here? I didn't even know! Where's it?" Weiss started walking, with Alec on her heels. "You didn't know there was a kitchen? Jeez, you really ARE a dunce."
Alec sat down at the table, Weiss handed him a plate of pancakes and sat in front of him, with a plate of bacon and eggs in front of her. Alec looked confused. "Wait, pancakes.. bacon and eggs?" Weiss nodded. "You seemed like the type who would like some sweets every once and a while." Alec looked back down at his pancakes and started eating. A full half an hour passed before they were completely done. By that time, it was already 7:30. Alec leaned back and patted his stomach. "Whoo.. that was really good, Weiss. Thanks!" Weiss nodded and grabbed both of their plates, then brought them to the sink and started washing them. "So, are you sure you want to be a Hunter?" Alec nodded, despite not knowing what a Hunter was. "Alright, I won't go easy on you. We'll start training at 10:00 to 5:00." Alec gave a thumbs up. "Roger dodger." He leaned back and put his hands behind his head, then started humming a song.
