Hey guys, chapter seven. Sorry for the wait. Add moving houses, school, Halo 5, Fallout 4, Battlefront, and a two big Mythology Myths I had to write all up together, and well...it turns into a HUGE time killer. Speaking of my big Mythology myth, if you guys would like to read it, it's in my story archive. So if you feel so inclined, go a take a gander (and yes, I do like using the Nightingale armor in my stories, I think it looks awesome). So I hope you guys like my next chapter, I made it WAY LONGER as an apology for the wait. So let's get to it...
(POV Ruby)
Waking up, I look around the room confused, "Where's *yawn* Yang?" The words hadn't even finished leaving my mouth before the previous night's events came rushing back to me. I look sadly at the door separating Davian's room from ours.
Deciding to check up on him, I jump off my bed past a sleeping Weiss and a not-so-asleep Blake, "Yang didn't come back all night Ruby."
I jump, mouth open, ready to give an explanation as to where I was heading when the words stopped dead in my mouth. Blake was curled up into a ball in the back corner of her bed. I take a small step forward, the light revealing her puffy red eyes. "Blake, what's wrong?"
She wipes her eyes and takes a deep breath, "Nothing you need to worry yourself about Ruby. If you're going to check on them, be quiet, they're probably still asleep."
I stand in the middle of the room debating what to do. While what happened last night was tearing me apart, my team was hurting. Blake looked like she felt guilty about something, but I didn't know why, and if Weiss' face was that contorted in her sleep, then something was bothering her as well. Yang, well...it wasn't hard to figure out what had her upset. Deciding to check on Yang and Davin first, I cracked open the door and had to slap a hand over my mouth to stop an *awww* from slipping out.
(POV Davian)
Drifting out of consciousness, I feel a comforting warmth radiating from my left. I try to sit up, but something had latched onto my left arm and leg. Using my free hand to wipe my eyes, I look to my left to find Yang's face inches from my own, holding my left arm tightly and one leg wrapped around mine. I try to shift away but Yang held on even tighter, whimpering in her sleep. I sigh, resigning myself to my fate and stopped squirming before she woke up. As we lay there, I thought about what happened the night before in the infirmary.
I look at the ceiling shamefully, knowing that Yang won't like that I kept my wounds to myself. She never did, even back at Signal when it was only a bruise or small cut, let alone all this. Turning my head to look at her again, I think hard about what we were. If you asked anyone who didn't know us, they would say we were couple, especially if they saw us now.
In all honesty, even I didn't know what we were. If I hadn't disappeared four years ago I'm pretty positive we would be together, but now...I don't know. I didn't want Yang to be stuck with a guy that can't even sleep more than three hours due to nightmares. She deserves someone that can care for her as she does me, not someone who didn't even know how to return the feelings she gave.
Before I could think further, I hear someone slap a hand over their mouth. Craning my head to look over Yang's shoulder, I see Ruby quickly close the door causing Yang to wake up. She slowly opens her eyes and sits up just staring at me blankly for a few seconds before slapping me. I turn my head back towards her, seeing her eyes shift between red and violet as if she was unsure if she was angry or upset. "What the hell did I say about hiding stuff like this from me? Do you remember? I said I'd-"
"Heal me up then beat me down" I say, smiling softly.
She nods her head hugging me, "Damn right."
I sit up, untangling myself from Yang, and we just sit in silence for a few minutes until she broke it with the question I knew would hurt her the most. "What else? What else did they do to you?"
I close my eyes, knowing what I was about to do would really hurt her. I grab the bottom of my shirt and lift it over my head, revealing what lay underneath. I tensed as I felt a warm hand run itself across the numerous scars plaguing my torso. "Oh my god" I hear her choke out, barely keeping it all in.
I opened my eyes and kept them glued to the carpet, preparing myself as I felt her hand trace over a certain set of scars. "Whip. They tied me between two poles in front of everyone and just let loose. It was there that they tore off my wolf ears as well."
I feel her hand tighten into a fist before loosening and moving to a big ugly patch that marred my lower back. "Someone in the front of the crowd yelled 'use fire', so they poured burn dust into my wounds, then moved on to burn my lower back."
Her hands shake a bit as she moves to a set of teeth marks that wrapped around my shoulder. "Eventually they got bored of whipping and burning me, so they threw me into a pit with a Beowulf in it. It was there that I discovered my semblance. The Beowulf had my arm in its mouth when I suddenly appeared on the opposite end of the pit." I laugh bitterly, "Almost escaped that day, but I eventually succumbed to blood-loss and woke back up in my cage with an aura suppressing collar around my neck.
I feel a few tears land on my back, "How could they do something like this to another person?"
As I turn my entire body towards her, I slip my shirt back on; effectively hiding the scars I didn't want her to see on my chest. "Precious few in that crowd saw me as a person Yang. To them I was worse than the humans they were fighting. To them I was a traitor, but not only that, I was a traitor that had abandoned the cause and ran to live with humans." She sits there processing what I had just told her, having trouble comprehending how someone could hate that much. Especially against a kid only fourteen years of age. I nudge her a bit, "I'm going to be fine Yang, it's just going to take time and I'll always carry what happened to me. Nothing can change that, but I can make new experiences to outweigh the bad ones." She looks me in the eyes for a few seconds before nodding her head. "Alright, just, don't tell my mom and dad about this, they don't need to know, not now."
She furrowed her brows, "They need to know Davian."
I shake my head, "They have the most ammunition to blame themselves with and I'm not giving them the opportunity to use it until I've made more of a recovery. Okay?"
She nods her head again in understanding and hugs me, "No more hiding. I understand that there are things that you don't want to talk about, but you have to sometimes."
I hesitate, eventually nodding my head as we slip back into silence staring out of the window at beautiful Friday morning. "Come on, we have to get to Goodwitch's class, we have a field-trip today."
Yang looks at me concerned, "Davian, you don't have to go if you're not feeling well. If you need to, just stay here at Beacon and rest up."
I wave her off, "I've healed up completely Yang, I have no reason to not go."
She got up and stood in front of me with her hands on her hips, "I'm not talking about physically. Ozpin told us that we were to help you get better and that includes mental trauma as well."
I sigh, leaning back against the head-board, "Yang, those kinds problems don't go away by staring at a wall. I have to move on but that won't happen if you don't let me."
She slouches where she was standing, "I just don't want you to get hurt anymore."
I got to my feet, "That's not going to be possible Yang; we're Hunters in training now, which means we're going to be hurt time and time again in this career." She pursed her lips before sighing, accepting my answer. She gave me a final hug before going back to her room to get ready for the trip.
I stand there for a few minutes before heading to the shower. After finishing, I meet the girls in the hallway before heading out to the landing pads to meet the rest of the class. As we boarded the airships, I receive a welcome from anyone that had heard about the incident but I also notice a stained air about Team JNPR. I leaned over to ask Yang, "What did I miss?"
Yang nodded towards Jaune, "We're not sure, but after Pyrrha beat CRDL in an arena match, Jaune's been hanging around with them lately, doing all their work and stuff."
I glance over towards CRDL to see Cardin smiling slyly at JNPR, "I don't like the looks of that."
Yang shook her head, "None of us do. We can tell something's up, but no one can figure out what. Nora told me Pyrrha tried talking to him, but he must have said something because she's been severely annoyed at him lately." She huffed in annoyance, "I don't even know how CRDL doesn't have detention after what they pulled yesterday." I shrugged as I stared at JNPR as a depressed Jaune moves to stands with CRDL. Looking back at the rest of Jaune's team, I see Nora and Ren talking quietly to each other while Pyrrha just kept glancing sadly at Jaune.
We land after an hour flight and start off into the forest with Goodwitch telling us about it, "Yes students, the forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful, but we are not here to sight see. Professor Peach has asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest, and I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so." As Ms. Goodwitch stopped walking and turned to face us, Jaune accidentally bumped into Cardin causing him to turn and scowl at Jaune while he whistled innocently.
I turn back to Ms. Goodwitch as she held out a filled jar, "Each of you is to collect one jar of red sap. However this forest is full with the creators of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back her at 4:00, have fun."
As we break off into teams to collect the sap I lean over to Yang, "That sounded like it hurt her to say that last part." Yang giggled at that as she and the others each walked over to a tree to collect the sap. Before finding my own, I turned to find Jaune being forced to carry all of CRDL's things as they went in the opposite direction. Choosing to ignore him, I find a soft spot in a tree and shove the spigot in and the sap started to drip out. I stood there for a few minutes waiting for my jar to fill when I glanced through the trees to see Jaune stumble through the bush with six filled jars of sap.
Taking a second to do the math, I realize even with CRDL and himself, he has an extra jar. Glancing towards my team, I find that they're all occupied with their filling their jars. I quietly slip away as quiet as a wraith and follow Jaune. As I got closer, I saw him standing on the ridge, holding a jar full of sap above his head aiming it at someone. I glance down the hill and my eyes widen as I see NPR and the box that was buzzing madly.
I get up to teleport over, but Jaune lowered his arm, "No."
Cardin leaned forward surprised, "What did you say?"
Jaune suddenly spun around and threw the jar at Cardin, "I said NO!"
Before I could run in to stop CRDL from hurting Jaune, I suddenly hear a roar and turn around only to be bashed into a tree by an Ursa, effectively dazing me as I roll down the hill, eventually bashing right into tree. I push myself onto my knees as I hold my head. My attention shot back up the hill to the sound of roaring and yelling. Glancing around, I don't see anyone within the immediate area. I try to jump to my feet only to hiss in pain as I clutch my side that bashed into the tree.
"Damn, ribs must not be completely healed yet." I try to think of a way to get a hold of the others. Reaching for my scroll, I find it missing "Must have lost it in the fall." My head shot back up as I hear Jaune yell in anger at something. Steeling myself, I close my eyes and prepare myself, "This is going to hurt."
(POV Jaune)
I glance down at my scroll to see my aura in the red, thinking back to Ms. Goodwitch's advice about managing my aura. Hearing another roar, I quickly put away my scroll and make a split second decision and charge the Ursa screaming. As I get within striking distance, I pull my arm back for the hardest swing I could muster, accidentally letting my shield down. As I swing, I don't notice my shield move on its own to block the Ursa's paw, enabling me to follow through with the swing, effectively cutting off its head.
Not believing I had just killed an Ursa, I proudly put away my sword and walk up to Cardin and hold out my hand. Cardin looks at it for a second before taking it and standing up, "Holy crap...Jaune-"
I scowl, "Don't ever mess with my team-my friends ever again. Cardin and I stare at each-other for a second, "Got it?" He stares at me shamefully as I turn to walk away before another roar tears through the air. I quickly spun around to see an even bigger Ursa Major bash its way through the trees running towards us.
As Cardin and I pull out our weapons, I hear someone yell out in alarm, "JAUNE!"
I look over my shoulder to find Pyrrha and the rest of my team along with RWBY and Goodwitch sprinting towards us. Pyrrha and Ms. Goodwitch reached us first with Goodwitch stepping in front of us, "Stay behind me students, this is a very dangerou-" Before she could finish her sentence, a piercing howl echoed throughout the forest causing us to cover our ears. Once the howl stopped, we all look up to see the Ursa stopping in its tracks and shuffling around as if it was afraid.
Suddenly, a large Beowulf as dark as the void dashed out of the trees behind the Ursa and hamstrung it. Collapsing to the ground roaring in pain, the Ursa tried to take a swing at its attacker. As the Beowulf and the Ursa traded blows, we all stand there astounded. Weiss pointed at the center of the clearing unsure of herself, "Why are-Why are the Grimm fighting each other?"
Ms. Goodwitch stood there with her riding crop at the ready, "For once Ms. Schnee, I must say I have no idea. I have never seen a Grimm attack another unprovoked." I glance back at the fight to see the Beowulf shoot its hand forward and shove its claws into the neck of the Ursa and brutally tear it out.
We all stand there shocked at what we just witnessed; Yang voices our thoughts, "Holy shit…" The Beowulf looked in our direction causing us to tense up and ready our weapons only for it to turn around and run into the forest out of sight. Yang raises both her hands, "What the hell just happened?"
Ms. Goodwitch lowered her riding crop confused, "I have nothing to say to that. In all my days as a Huntress, I've never seen an unprovoked fight between two Grimm then for the winner to openly ignore the humans. I've never seen it."
As Yang was about to make some witty comment, something suddenly clicked causing her to yell out alarmed, "Where's Davian!"
We all glance around, eventually I turn to my team, "Split into pairs and fan out!" Everyone agrees to the plan, as we were about to split up Ren suddenly pointed to the ridge, "There he is." We all spin around to see Davian reach the top of the hill before he started walking slowly towards us waving with his right arm while he kept his left limp at his side.
(POV Davian)
I wave my hand and yell out, "I'm fine!" before Yang could freak out. We meet in the middle of the clearing and Ruby asks, "Davian, what happened to you?"
I nod my head towards the dissipating body of the Ursa, "Damn thing threw me against the tree when I wasn't paying attention. How an Ursa stayed that quiet I'll never know."
Ms. Goodwitch pulled out her scroll and snapped pictures of the surrounding area and took notes about the incident. After a few minutes, she put her scroll away and turned back to us, "Has everyone gotten their sap?" We all nod and hold up our jars, "Good, let's get back to Beacon."
As we started hiking back through the forest to our evac point, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang walked next to me. Yang glanced my side with a stony expression, "How bad Davian, really?"
I wave her off, "Probably just a cracked rib or two, nothing major. I promise to head straight to the infirmary as soon as we get back." Not liking my answer, but accepting it, Yang slung my right arm over her shoulder and helped me limp my way back to the bullhead.
-][-
Yang had me lay down the entire flight, completely ignoring my assurance of being alright. Reaching Beacon in time for supper, I made Yang go with everyone to get dinner while I turned and walked in the opposite direction to the infirmary. When I get there, I opened the door announcing myself, "Hello, Mrs. Klein you in?"
The nurse that helped me during my last visit was sitting behind the front desk. Looking up from the paperwork she'd been doing, she raised a half annoyed eyebrow at me, "Mr. Kadar, what have you done this time?" She stood up from the desk, "We only fixed you up yesterday and while I have no idea how you healed that fast, you shouldn't of already gone back to work."
She handed me some sweatpants and a t-shirt and motioned me to change behind the curtain, "I didn't want to sit around and do nothing. Plus it was only supposed to be a sap collection trip, not anything dangerous."
I stepped out and allowed her to inspect my left shoulder and the bruising along the left side of my torso, "I don't care if it wasn't supposed to be dangerous. Any trip off school campus must be authorized by either the doctor or me, no exceptions." She steps back sighing, "You're shoulder was dislocated and relocated improperly, I'm going to need to reset it then bandage you up." She corralled me back into one of the side rooms and told me to sit down on the bed, "Hold your left arm as far up as you can for me." I do so and she grabbed my wrist and shoulder, "I going to pull it out on the count of three, ok?"
I nod my head, "I've been through much worse Mrs. Klein, so don't think I don't know that old trick. Just pop it out then back in, don't wait."
She shakes her head before yanking sharply then pushing hard, causing my shoulder to pop out then back in with two sickening pops. I take it in silence, gritting my teeth to stop myself from yelling out in pain. She has me lean forward so she could inspect the joint, "There we go, that's set correctly. Now I need to bandage you up so you can get to supper before all the food gone."
I jerk my head towards the door, "The cafeteria is serving chicken, fish, salad, and cookies tonight. I don't expect anything to be left by the time I get back with my team along with JNPR there." She laughs softly, nodding her head in understanding as she tied the end of the bandage into a knot, "All set, go along now and try to make it more than a day before I see you in here again." I thank her and walk out, heading straight for the dorm not feeling very hungry. I walk inside and close the door behind me, stepping into the bathroom to wash any dried blood off. Finishing, I fall into my bed and fall asleep, tired from the day's events.
-][-
I woke up to a sunny Friday morning, chirping birds, and someone knocking on the door connecting RWBY's room from my own. I roll out of my bed and land on my chest with a pained groan. "Owww...F my life." I push myself to my feet holding my side in pain, forgetting that the only thing covering my upper torso were the tight fitting bandages as I answered the door. "What do you *yawn* need?"
Weiss is standing there looking at her scroll before looking up at me, "We agreed we'd go down to...Vale...today."
I raise an eyebrow as her face reddened, "What is it?"
Yang peaks around the door and wolf whistles, "WOOOOH, I haven't seen those muscles in quite a while!"
Weiss had just stopped thinking as she stared, eventually slamming the door in my face screaming, "PUT A SHIRT ON YOU CRUDE IDIOT!"
I stand there smiling as I hear Yang whine, "Aww come on Weiss, that is far from the worst sight to see first thing in the morning." I shake my head smiling and turn to grab some jeans and a button up that would be comfortable with my bandages, getting ready for the girls trip into Vale.
Making our way out to the airship, I realize that Blake has been avoiding eye contact with me since my freak-out in the infirmary. I tap Yang on the shoulder, "You three go on ahead, I need to ask Blake something real fast."
Yang shrugs before she boarded the airship with Ruby and Weiss while I stayed behind, "What is it Blake?" She didn't answer, still not meeting my eyes. I sigh, "Blake, you didn't do a thing to me back then."
I see her ears droop under her bow, "But I didn't try to stop them. They didn't allow anyone off base and forced everyone to go to the demonstrations. I admit it, I felt betrayed by you, but I wasn't angry enough to cause anyone that kind of pain, ever!" Thinking she was finished venting, I pulled her towards the airship, "I should've at least tried. We were practically siblings, but apparently that wasn't enough for me to try to stop it."
She just stood there as her eyes began misting. I step forward and give her a hug, "You always believed in fighting for our rights, more so than the average member. But I remember that you were practically raised by Fang and didn't have any friends except for Adam until my family and I came along. You aren't the only one who's been acting like we never knew each other. I've been unfair to you since coming here; but I don't blame you for following the people you had grown to trust." I step away as she wipes her eyes, smiling a bit, "Come on, I said I'd get you girls some ice cream or something as a thank you.
As we walked on to the ship, I could see the burden that had been weighing her down for days finally lift off her shoulders, allowing her to be at peace for the first time in years. We arrived at the waiting areas and spotted Yang waving us over. I sat down and Blake left to get some water, leaving Yang to huff in annoyance, "How did your 'talk' go?" I raise an eyebrow at her question, causing Yang to huff again, "Forget it."
I glance confused at Ruby who was sitting across from us, "She's jealous because she saw you hugging Blake" she said flatly, much to her sisters ire.
Yang's face went red, "RUBY!" Ruby giggled in her seat, swinging her feet. Yang nervously glanced at me to catch me smiling, "Can we just forget this, please?"
I chuckle, knowing my answer would mess with her, "Sure." She just sat there gritting her teeth in her seat, causing Ruby and I to laugh at her behavior. Once I stopped, I looked over Ruby's shoulder to see Blake coming back. Deciding not to have team drama right now I set things straight, "Blake and I aren't together Yang, you can calm down." I could practically hear the gears in her head grind to a halt as I saw steam rise off her head, resulting her to break down in her seat.
Blake sat down next to Ruby who was holding her sides, she was laughing so hard. "What's wrong with Yang?"
I wave her off, "Don't worry about it; she'll be back to normal by the time we land." Blake accepts the answer and proceeds to talk with Ruby and Weiss about what we were going to do in town for the duration of the flight while I just closed my eyes and power napped.
My prediction proved to be true as we landed and all walked out into Vale. Ruby was quick to pull us all to the nearest ice cream shop using her semblance, "Comeoncomeoncomeonlet'sgeticecream!" Ruby ran up to the display-case and presses her nose against the glass before looking at me, "What can I get?" I motion for her to take her pick causing her eyes to gain a sparkle in them as she quickly asked the cashier for a double scoop of strawberry and cookies n' cream.
After Yang ordered orange sherbet and Blake got raspberry, I look at Weiss who seemed very out of place in the ice cream parlor, "What do you want Weiss?"
She glances around uncomfortably, "You don't have to pay for me, I can more than cover it."
I shake my head, "No can do, I said I'd pay for you four as a thank you and I'm going to do just that. Go ahead and pick something...please."
She resigns herself and quietly orders a small bowl of mint chocolate chip. I hand the cashier my card before we all take our ice cream and leave the shop enjoying our cold treats. As we finish, I turn to Weiss, "I never thought I'd see the day when a Schnee was that uncomfortable doing something as trivial as ordering ice cream."
Weiss huffed and crossed her arms, "I just don't have much experience doing things like this without having a bodyguard watching every move I, or a passerby makes like a hawk."
I 'ah' as we continue walking, "Fair enough. Well, where to next?"
Weiss spoke up, "I was wondering if we could make a quick stop at the docks before the movie, there are some people I'd like to welcome to Vale."
Blake pulled out her scroll and checked it, "The movie starts in an hour and a half so we should have time."
As we start walking towards the other side of town, I turn to ask Yang something, "By the way, what happened to CRDL and Anderson afterwards?" Not receiving an answer I glance back to see Yang pursing her lips and not looking at me, smirking a bit. I was becoming a little concerned, "Yang...what did you do?"
She just pauses for a second, "Leeeet's just say that the Emerald Forest has a new clearing."
I start laughing slightly, "Yaaaang, now what did I say about beating on the assholes of the school?"
Yang giggled a bit, very proud of her deed. I shake my head smirking at her sense of punishment. "I don't regret a thing."
I actually laugh out loud for the first time in a while, "Of course you don't."
We walk further into town to see the same old man that worked at the Dusk till' Dawn shop hoisting up a banner. I just stop walking and stare at him incredulously, "How many jobs does this guy have? He's like ninety-eight years old!"
Everyone ignores me as Weiss clasped her hand together, "The Vytal Festival! Oh this is absolutely wonderful!"
I lean forward to get a better look at Weiss' face, "Be careful Weiss, you wouldn't want your face to freeze like that would you? It would ruin the whole Ice Queen thing."
Ruby agreed with me, "Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much Weiss, it's kinda weirding me out."
Weiss turned around to face us, "How could you not smile? A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances, parades, a tournament, oh the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking."
Yang just sighed and crossed her arms, "You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring."
Weiss turned her head with an annoyed face, "Quiet you."
I smirked as her face went back to the expression Weiss normally wore, "Thaaat's better, I was getting worried."
As Weiss was about to make some snarky comment to me, Yang interrupted her, "Remind me again why we're spending our Friday afternoon visiting the stupid docks?"
Ruby covered her nose with her hand, "Agh, they smell like fish."
Weiss just clasped her hands in front of her and stood a little straighter, "I've heard that students visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today," she turned to face us, "and as I representative of Beacon, I feel it is my solemn duty to welcome to this fine kingdom."
She turns to walk closer to the ships as Blake leaned over towards us, "She wants to spy on them to have the upper hand in the tournament."
Weiss was very quick to deny that accusation, "Ugh, you can't prove that!"
Ruby, who had been walking behind us suddenly stopped to look down the street, "Whoa!" We all move to get a better look to find the windows smashed, the front door bashed down, police tape everywhere, and two officers standing in front of the shop. We all walk down the street to find out what was going on. Ruby was the first to ask, "What happened here?"
The officer with sunglasses looked up from his notepad, "Robbery, second dust shop to be hit this week."
The girls continue on to listen to the officers as I take a closer look at the damage caused, "Damn, that's going to be expensive."
I was about to comment on that when Weiss heard something she didn't like, "Hmm, the White Fang, what an awful bunch of degenerates."
Blake turns towards her offended, hiding it well, but offended, "What's your problem?"
Weiss acts surprised, "My problem? I just simply don't care for the criminally insane."
Looking slightly angrier but going unnoticed by everyone but me Blake stood her ground, "The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths, there a collection of misguided faunus."
As Blake and Weiss go back and forth, I lean in towards Yang to whisper, "Weiss still doesn't know I was in the Fang before coming to Vale does she?"
Yang nodded, "Yeah, I asked her why she hadn't looked you up yet, but she said she felt like it wasn't her business to snoop around something personal like that. A rare moment of chivalry from her."
I nod my head as I hear Weiss say something I was sick of hearing, "Those faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal!"
I lightly kick Yang and send Blake a subtle 'don't say anything' look before either of them could bite Weiss' head off, "Ah hem"
Realizing her mistake, Weiss slowly turned to me apologetically, "Uh, I mean I-"
I glare at her, "You should pick your words very carefully from now on Weiss." She just looked down shamefully, "I know that is how you've been brought up to think, but you need to be a bit more sensitive than that."
As she was about to apologize, we hear someone yell, "HEY, STOP THAT FAUNUS!"
We all sprint back to the docks in time to see a monkey faunus jump off a boat and throw a banana peel at a police officer. I cross my arms pointing at the faunus, "I like this guy." As he runs by he gives Blake a wink without missing a step and continues down the street and around the corner, "Smooth to."
Yang speaks up, "Well Weiss, you wanted to see the competition, aaand there it goes."
Weiss points up into the air, "Quick, we have to observe him!" Taking off after the faunus with us on her heals, she couldn't stop in time to stop from running into some ginger girl. Weiss looked up to see the monkey faunus jump up onto the rooftops and disappear, not even registering the fact she was laying on top of someone "No, he got away!"
Yang awkwardly point at the red haired girl, "Uuuum, Weiss…"
Weiss looked confused for a second before looking down at the...why is the girl smiling creepily? Weiss shoot to her feet yelping.
The red haired girl waves to us, "Salutations."
Ruby says hi as Yang looked even more confused, "Are you...ok?" The way she said it made me think that she was confused as to if she was asking physically or mentally.
The girl continued to lay on the ground, "I'm wonderful, thank you for asking."
We all share a glance as Yang continues to ask our questions for us, "Do yooouu want to get up?"
I swear the girl looked like she was thinking about it, "Yes!" She then pushes herself to her feet with nothing but her arms, making me wonder if I should be impressed by her or nervous as we all take a step back. "My name's Penny, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
We all proceed to introduce ourselves, Ruby goes first, "Hi Penny, I'm Ruby."
"I'm Weiss."
"Blake."
I bow my head slightly, "Davian."
Yang scratches her head, "Are you sure you didn't hit your head?" Blake quickly hit her, "Oh, I'm Yang."
The now named Penny bounces in her spot, "It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Weiss leans back slightly, "You already said that."
Penny thinks about that for a second, "So I did."
Weiss awkwardly tries to say goodbye, "We-well sorry for running into you."
The others start to walk away as I stand there for a second longer thinking something was off about Penny until Ruby said bye, drawing me out of my thought process, "Take care friend."
Once we were several feet away, Yang tries to say what we all were thinking, "She was...weird…"
Weiss looks around, "Now where did that faunus rif-" she stops herself glancing at me, "that faunus run off to?"
We all suddenly stop to find Penny somehow standing in front of us, "What did you call me?"
Weiss just points to where Penny just was and shoots her head back and forth, trying to figure out how she moved so fast without a semblance. Yang grimaces, "Oh I'm really sorry, I definitely didn't think you heard me!"
She ignores what Yang said, "No, not you," she pushed Yang and I aside and walked up to Ruby, "Youuu."
Ruby starts freaking out and spoke in a high pitch voice, "Me? I-I-I don't know-I-what I-um-"
Penny starts acting really excited, "You called me friend! Am I really your friend?"
"Uuuuummm," she looks over Penny shoulder at us as who all signaled noooooooo, "Y-ya sure, why not?"
We all collapsed to the ground as Penny grinned happily and jumped about excited, "Sen-sational! We can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys!" She then proceeds to grab me by the arm, "Here's a cute boy!"
Yang quickly grabbed me back muttering something like "Mine" under her breath but I wasn't too sure.
Ruby groans and leans over to Weiss, "Is this what is was like when you met me?"
Weiss dust's herself off, "No, she seems far more coordinated."
Getting over the whole, calling me cute thing, Yang tries to move things along, "Sooo, what are you doing in Vale?"
Penny stood straight and said proudly, "I'm here to fight in the tournament."
Weiss looked very surprised, though to be fair, we all were, "Wait, you're fighting in the tournament?"
As the others go back and forth, I lean over to Yang and whisper, "Something's off about her, and not in the way you're thinking."
Before she could respond, I see Weiss grab Penny by the shoulders, "If you're here for the tournament, does that mean know that monkey tailed...rapscallion?"
Penny tilted her head, "The who?"
Weiss forgot herself as she held up a badly drawn picture of the monkey faunus (Which I'm trying to figure out how she drew in the time she had), "The filthy faunus from the boat!"
Luckily I was able to rein in my anger and Yang was still holding onto my arm, allowing me to stop her from doing anything. Unfortunately, Blake was done with Weiss' views, "Why do you keep saying that!"
Weiss, realizing what she said tries to quickly apologize, "That's not what I-"
Blake walked forward, "Stop calling him rapscallion, stop calling him a degenerate, he's a person!"
By now Weiss was angry, "Oh, I'm sorry, would you like me to stop referring to the trashcan as a trashcan, or this lamp post as a lamp post?"
Blake yells out, "STOP IT!"
Weiss held her arms out, "Stop what? He clearly broke the law; give him time, he'll probably join up with those other faunus in the White Fang."
By now Yang was starting to burst into flames which began burning me, but I held on to stop her from killing Weiss. Blake just clenched her hand and yelled, "UGH! You ignorant little brat!"
I grab a hold of Ruby and Yang and pull them after Weiss and Blake who had proceeded to walk back towards the airships, "Come on you two, and Yang calm down. I don't like what she was saying either, but it was the way she was brought up, don't blame her too much. If you're going to blame anyone, blame the people who raised her."
Finally calming down, she mutters "fine." We head back to Beacon as Blake and Weiss continued to argue the entire way. Reaching the dorm, I'd be surprised if Yang didn't beat the crap out of Weiss right then and there.
As the argument reached a melting point, Weiss said something that even I couldn't take it anymore, "Do you want to know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they're a bunch of liars, thieves, AND MURDERERS!"
Without thinking of the consequences, Blake yelled out "WELL MAYBE WE WERE JUST TIRED OF BEING PUSHED AROUND!"
Silence reigned king in the room as a look of horror crossed Blake's face. Weiss and Ruby both just looked shocked. But it was the raging heat and sound of shifting metal coming from my left that made me realize that there was a dragon in the room with us that had just heard something she did not like. I quickly wrapped my arms around Yang and pull her to the ground to stop her from killing Blake, "YOU BITCH! YOU'RE WITH THOSE PEOPLE THAT TORTURED DAVIAN FOR THREE AND A HALF GOD-DAMN YEARS!" Before she could yell anymore and announce Blake's secret to all of Vale, I overload her senses with my aura, causing her to fall unconscious.
I look up worried to find Ruby looking between Blake and I. Weiss standing there motionless, and Blake on the verge of tears, starting to panic, "I-I-" with that she dashed out the door and out of the building.
While everyone was still just standing there shocked and Yang unconscious on the floor, I looked out the window to see Blake running towards the docks. I quickly turn to Ruby, "Rubes, please keep an eye on Yang, she's not going to be thinking straight when she wakes up. I'm going to go keep an eye on Blake. Okay?" She nods her head numbly as I grab my equipment and teleport out the window and free-fell the two floors to the ground and run to catch up with Blake before she did anything rash.
When I catch up, I see Blake wiping away tears that were streaming down her face with her cat ears free in the wind. Before I could speak, I hear a voice come from my left, "I knew you'd look better without the bow."
She looks behind her to find the monkey faunus from the docks sitting on top of a lamp post. She turns to run for the docks again when she sees me standing there, causing her to break down into tears and collapsed to the ground. "I'm so sorry Davian, I should have done something, I so so sorry."
I look up sadly at the now concerned monkey faunus and motion him to help Blake to her feet, "I'm going to run ahead and get us some tickets down to Vale, this is the last place she ought to be right now." He nods his head and helps Blake to her feet as she continues to bawl into her hands and they slowly walk after me to the airship.

(POV Ruby)
Hearing slight movement in the room, I wake up stretching, *yawn* "Morni-".
*crash* "I'M GOING TO KILL HER!"
I squeal and fall out of my bed onto the floor, "Owww". I sit up to find our door blown off its hinges and an enraged Yang disappearing through the hole. I scramble to my feet and run after her, "Yang wait!"
She turns around, eyes red and hair ablaze, "WHY? SHE LIED TO US ABOUT SOMETHING DAMN IMPORTANT! DON'T THINK FOR SECOND I'M GOING TO LET THAT SLIDE!"
I run in front of her and try to push her back ignoring the heat, "Yang please, trust Davian. He told me to keep an eye on you while he kept an eye on Blake."
Yang stopped walking, "What do you mean 'keep an eye on her'? He should be even more pissed at her then I am!" I shake my head, "HOW IS HE NOT MAD AT HER? FOR ALL WE KNOW SHE WAS THERE WHEN THEY HAD HIM!"
I put my hands on my hips and stand in front of her defiantly, "We don't know that. Yang please calm down...for me." I put on my best begging face, hoping she would listen.
She looked around herself to see the doors to several rooms open with people peeking out. After a few seconds her face calmed and the flames disappeared, "Alright...I'll listen to what she has to say before I start punching."
I hug her, "Thank you."
She sighs before we walk back into our room, "What do we do?"
I look out the window towards Vale, "We have to get down to Vale and find them. We can't do anything until then."
Weiss had been silent up till this point, "Why are we even looking for them? We should be reporting them to the headmaster for being members of the White Fang."
Yang snapped back at her, "Don't you dare throw Davian in with her! They tortured him three and a half-Wait...how do you know Davian was in the White Fang?"
Weiss pointed at her symbol, "I put his surname into the Schnee database last night to get quicker results and their name came back on the watch and observe list." He shook her head scowling, "Those faunus have killed several members of my family's company, including people in my family. I refuse to go searching for terrorists-
"WEISS, LISTEN" I yell out angrily. Weiss stops, surprised to actually see me angry, "How much do you know about Davian, and I mean really know about him?"
Weiss raised an eyebrow, "It told me he used to be in the Fang. I didn't want read anything else after that in case he...he had killed someone I knew."
Yang threw her hands into the air, "Then you have no right to judge him and his family if you don't know the entire story! You have no idea what they did to him! His family was part of the White Fang before the reform and tried to leave once it did change." Yang got up in Weiss' face, "Davian's parents sent him away ahead of them because they couldn't get out safely. But as soon as they managed to get away, the Fang kidnapped Davian and tortured him for THREE AND A HALF FUCKING YEARS! So don't you dare think Davian is with them!"
Weiss scowled at Yang, "How do you know he's still not with them? What if he was still with them and they were just getting him back for information on something. Just because he said they tortured him doesn't mean they did!"
Yang punched Weiss in the face, sending her stumbling back onto her bed, "DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT!"
"YANG," I rush over to Weiss to make sure she was ok, "calm down!"
Weiss sat up, covering a bruise forming on her cheek, "You brute! What was that for?"
I quickly grabbed a cold water bottle and gave it to Weiss to stop the swelling, "You don't understand how much we love Davian Weiss. He might as well be an older brother to me, I know he can't be lying, there's no way."
Weiss huffed out, "How do you know?"
Looking out at the floor Yang spoke softly, "You didn't see them Weiss, he's covered in them."
Weiss looked confused, "Covered in wha-"
Tears started streaming down Yang's face as she cried softly. "He's covered in scars he didn't have when he left. Fire, blades, whips, pliers...there wasn't much they didn't do to him."
Weiss and I stand there wide-eyed at Yang's description of Davian's wounds. I stutter, "I-Is he going to be...ok?"
Yang shrugged sadly, eye's puffy, "I don't know Ruby, I hope so. Sometimes I see the old Davian come out, but...most of the time he's closed off and...different. Not that I blame him, after seeing some of those wounds I have no idea how he survived, and that's not even counting any mental trauma."
We stand in the middle of the room silently until Weiss turned to grab her scroll and her weapon Myrtenaster. I tilt my head at her, "Where are you going Weiss?"
She hands me my cloak and Yang her coat, "I have some apologizing to do and we have teammates to find. I'll take some of your advice Ruby and listen before I make a decision on how I feel about them."
Yang smile's softly while I split the biggest grin ever and tackle Weiss with a hug, "THANK YOU SO MUCH WEISS!"
Weiss lightly hit the top of my head, "Let go of me you dolt! Let go!"
Yang picks me up by the hood, "Come on Rubes, let's get going before they get any farther away."

(POV Davian)
Sun Wukong is definitely the type of guy I could get along with. He may seem like a jokester who doesn't have a care in the world, but after the last couple of days I knew he can be serious if the need calls for it. We were currently sitting in a cafe in downtown Vale as Blake told Sun about her time in the White Fang, "So I left, I decided I no longer wanted to aid in their violence, and instead I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am, a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow." Blake glanced up and twitched her ears under the bow, finishing her story to Sun.
Sun sat there with a solemn look, "So, have you told your friends any of this?"
Blake closed her eyes and bowed her head in shame. I speak up before she was forced to say something she didn't want to, "Our team just found out, but let's just say that two of our three other teammates didn't take it very well, especially her partner."
Sun turned to look at me, "How bad we talking?"
I shake my head, "As in killing bad."
Sun leaned back raising an eyebrow, "She wanted to kill Blake, seriously? I understand feeling betrayed by Blake for not completely trusting her, but what made her hate Blake that much?"
Blake crossed her arms on the table and laid her head down, not wanting to think about what she did, or rather didn't do. I start explaining, "My family used to be in the Fang as well before the reform, and Blake and I may as well of been siblings at the time. But when the Fang's way of doing things shifted, my parents sent me away to Vale ahead of them to keep me safe." I take of sip of orange juice before continuing, "I was eleven and a half at the time and started attending Signal Academy on Patch. I quickly became very good friends with Ruby and Yang; they were the red and yellow girls you saw at the docks. Once they found out I didn't have anywhere to go, their father Taiyang took me in."
A look of nostalgia crossed my face as I talked about my three years with Yang, Ruby, and Tai, "It was the best time of my life, they basically became a second family to me. When I was fourteen, Yang and I were training out in a clearing behind her house when the Fang attacked and took me." I sigh mournfully, "My parents arrived later that night, expecting to find me safe and sound. Instead they arrived to find police tape and me missing."
Looking to my left, I could see Blake's shoulder shaking slightly after hearing the happiness I was taken from. I sigh before continuing, "Once we got back, the Fang had ceased all operations, calling everyone back to their main base for a 'demonstration'." I sigh again, "I'd rather not go into details, but just know that Blake was there in the crowd and felt...betrayed by me at time, which is understandable considering her upbringing with the Fang. They held me for three years before I was able to escape, but...that's a lot of time to hurt one teenager."
By now, Blake was crying softly, disgusted with herself and the people she used to call comrades. I nudge her shoulder to get her attention and she turns her sad yellow eyes towards me, "Blake you share no blame in this. I've told you before and I'll tell you again, there was nothing you could have done to stop what happened. But now, we can fight to stop anything like that from ever happening again."
Blake dried her eyes, "How?"
I jerked my head in the direction of the repaired dust shop, "Let's find out if the Fang really are behind the robberies, it's a good place to start." Blake nodded her head as I turned back to Sun, "So, what do you think?"
Sun shook his head, "Do you mean about you being taken, because if you do then I'm even more pissed off at the Fang. Bastards will get what they deserve ten-fold. If you're talking about the robberies, then count me in, no way I'm missing out on the fun."
I stand up and pat in on the shoulder, "I knew I liked something about you, come on let's go."
We stand up and start walking down the street, "So what's the plan now" Sun asked?
Blake looked thoughtful, "I still don't think the White Fang are behind these robberies, they've never needed that much dust before."
Practically seeing a light bulb appear above Sun's head, he pitched his thought, "What if they did? I mean, the only way to prove that they didn't do it, is to go to the place where they would most likely go to if they were to do it, and not find them there...right?" He finished his thought with a double finger point at us.
I look at Sun in a new light, "That was most impressive, I have no idea how you didn't trip over your tongue on that one."
Blake sighs, "The only things is, I have no idea where that would be."
Sun thought hard for a second, "Well, while I was on the ship, I heard some guys talking about offloading a huge shipment of dust coming in from Atlas."
I stopped him, "How big are we talking about, dust rounds, crystals...what?"
Sun stuck his arms out as far as he could, "Huuuggggeee, big Schnee company freighter."
I clap my hands together, "Well, that sounds like a target to me, let's get there before dark." Blake and Sun nodded their heads and we take off running towards the docks.
-][-
Laying on a roof next to Blake, we waited for any suspicious activity to take place. Hearing some scuffling, I looked to my right to see Sun jump and land next to I is holding some fruit in his arms, "Did I miss anything?"
Blake shook her head, "Not really, they've offloaded all the crates from the boat. Now they're just sitting there."
Sun nodded his head, "Cool," then showing her an apple grinning, "I stole you some food."
Blake raised an eyebrow, "Do you always break the law without a second thought?"
"Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?" Sun countered. Blake just glared at Sun, "Ok, to soon."
Just as he finished, a bullhead flew over our heads and began to land. I jump to my feet, "I'm going to get on the other side of them." Before they could protest, I ran towards the roofs edge and jumped, teleporting right as I left the roof and landed on the adjacent warehouse. I do this a few more times and land in a crouch behind some crates right as the doors to the three bullheads bullhead opened up.
Looking to the other side of the dock, I see Torchwick along with several White Fang members step out, "HEY, what's the hold up? We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, sooo why don't you animals try to pick up the pace."
As I caught sight of the White Fang symbol, I felt unbridled anger well up inside of me. I close my eyes and push it down whispering, "This isn't like me." As I had been sitting there, oblivious, I was suddenly pulled out of it by a violent explosion. Opening my eyes, I saw Blake go flying back and scramble for cover as Torchwick shot explosive rounds at her from his cane.
I jump up to rush over and help her, but before I could get halfway across the dock, I was stopped by some of the White Fang that came with Torchwick. One with a pistol pointed at me snarling, "Get out of here traitor, just because you're faunus doesn't mean we won't attack." I just stood there waiting for them to attack. As I was about to spring forward, I heard several more pairs of boots hit the ground behind me. Turning, I found a bullhead dropping off two more squads of six, making it an eighteen to one fight. The leader of the group pointed his tomahawk at me, "We gave you fair warning, which is more than we normally give. Now face your death like...a...what the hell?"
He stuttered to a stop as my scent changed from the familiar smell of a wolf faunus to...something else. I smiled underneath my cowl and cracked my knuckles, "How about this, I give you a chance to run before I get a little payback." Even before the words finished leaving my mouth, I realized what I was saying and was surprised; I wasn't one to get this mad at someone, even the Fang.
Several of the lower rank Fang began to slowly back away fearfully until tomahawk yelled at them, "Get back into position idiots! He can't take all of us and he knows it!"
With their confidence renewed, I was surrounded again as they readied their weapons. Tomahawk stepped forward swallowing his fear, "Make it easy on yourself and let me make it quick." I ignored him and prepared myself for the inevitable charge. The man sighed, "Very well, at least make it a good fight." With that they all charged, intending to overwhelm me.
As soon as they were all close together, I disappeared in a puff of gray mist and teleported all around them creating a thick smoke screen. As soon as they couldn't see many of the faunus panicked and ran, but didn't get very far.
(POV Blake)
I watch as the remains of a bullhead fell into the water after being cut in half by that Penny girl. I then took stock of my surroundings to find Ruby, Weiss and Yang walking towards me but stopped and stared wide-eyed at something behind me. I turn to see a cloud of slow moving gray mist enveloping a section of the docks, but that's not what caught our attention. What caught it was the screaming coming from within the cloud. Suddenly a single White Fang recruit stumbled out of the cloud and fell to his knees right outside of it.
He looked up reaching for a weapon that wasn't there, but not to fight us, "GET ME THE HELL AWAY FROM THIS MONS-" He didn't get further than that as something reached out and snatched the Faunus back into the mist screaming. As suddenly as the screaming started, it became dead quiet with the exception for pained whimpering. Its then that I realize that I didn't see Davian, I ran towards the mist hoping he wasn't in it.
Before any of us could reach it to investigate, a figure dressed in black armor walked out of the mist as it dissipated revealing eighteen badly wounded White Fang members. Sun stands next to me, "Is that Davian?" We all snap our heads back in his direction and look closer to find that it was Davian. Sun took a step back, "Okay…that's creepy as hell." I elbow Sun in the side at look back to find Davian gone.
"Give her a chance to explain Yang, please."
I spun around to find Davian behind Sun and I talking to Yang. She turned and glared at me with red eyes. Looking down shamefully, we all walked over to some crates to talk. Still looking at the ground I spoke, "I understand that you're ang-"
Yang cut me off, "Just tell me if you had anything to do with Davian?"
Davian spoke up, "Of course she didn't," I look at him, "Blake and I knew each other very well before my family left, we were brother and sister in everything but blood."
Yang looked confused, "Then why did you two act like you didn't know each other?"
Davian didn't answer that one, causing Yang to get suspicious and turn to me, "Well? Answer me."
I look down at my shoes, "I was in the crowd when they did the...demonstration, almost every member of the Fang was. I admit, I felt...betrayed by what his family had done, but never bad enough to do anything like that to him."
Yang's hair started to heat up a bit, "What do you mean 'betrayed'? I thought you people were fighting for freedom? But when one family wanted to leave, you don't allow them to!"
I opened my mouth but no words came out. Davian put a hand on Yang's shoulder, "Don't Yang, you don't know what it was like for her growing up."
Yang snapped at him, "How can you so understand! She was there and watched them hurt you! Even worse though is the fact that she watched them torture someone that she saw as a bother but did nothing to stop it!"
I start to stand up to run, but Sun put a hand on my shoulder and kept me down smiling softly, "Don't run again, it'll work out."
I nod my head and listen do Davian tell them about my childhood, (not anything I wouldn't want them to know of course) "She was practically raised by the Fang Yang; you can't blame her for siding with her family. She hated what they did to me, as did many others, but there wasn't a thing any of them could have done to stop it. The higher ranking members were the ones who handled everything, not her."
Ruby, Weiss, and Yang were silent as they processed the information of me not having any family except for the Fang. Ruby knew what it was like to lose a parent, but she hadn't fully understood at the time. Weiss hadn't lost anyone in her immediate family, but her parents might as well of not been there at all growing up while her sister was always busy. Yang, she understood the most out of three having lost two parents. Her real mother and Summer both were gone for different reason, but she might as well of not had her dad either during those times. He just...shut down after her mother left and Summer died, leaving her to take care of Ruby alone.
I cried silently as I remembered how lonely I felt until Davian and his family had shown up. While Adam was my friend, he was more of a mentor, which wasn't the same thing. I choke out, "I-I'm sorry, I didn't want any of that to happen, but I was just so angry at the ti-". My voice was cut off as I felt someone wrap me up in a hug. Opening my eyes, I found Yang hugging me, "Don't be sorry, I forgive you and I'm sure Davian has said so many times. Don't be sorry."
I pull away and wipe my eyes, ""Yo-You aren't mad at me for lying?" Yang shook her head. I smile before turning to Weiss, "Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with them I-"
"Stop," Weiss stood up in front me, "do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you?" I shake my head, "Twelve hours, that means I've had twelve hours to think about this, and in that twelve hours I've decided...I don't care."
My eyes widen, "You don't care?"
She pointed in the direction of the White Fang that were being treated before heading to prison, "You said you're not one of them anymore, right?"
I nod my head, "No I-I haven't since I was younger-"\
Weiss held her and up, "Ap-bup-bup-bup. I don't want to hear it, all I want to know is that next time something this big comes up, you come to your teammates, and not some," she stopped herself and looked at Sun, reworded her statement, "someone else."
I wipe my eye and smile, "Of course."
Ruby looked between us before squealing, "YA, TEAM RUBY IS BACK TOGETHER!"
We all step forward as Weiss sticks a finger in Sun's face, "I'm still not sure how I feel about you."
Sun laughed nervously as Ruby looked around, "Hey wait a minute, where's Penny?"
Davian jerked his head in the direction of a car that was driving away, "Some man in a lab coat came and picked her up." Ruby looks down disappointed, "You were starting to like her weren't you?"
Ruby nodded her head, "Yeah, she may be a little odd, but she stayed and helped us look for you all day even though I'm sure she had other things she was doing."
Davian reached down and ruffled her hair, "I'm sure we'll have the opportunity to say thank you some other time." Davian looked up at the officers and said, "They told me we could head home, apparently it's not uncommon for Beacon students to get involved in stuff like this." He shakes Sun's hand, "Fun working with you Sun, hope to see you again sometime."
Sun laughed, "You won't have to worry about that man, my team and I are going to be exchange students here. I just came early to get the lay of the land. I'll introduce you guys to my team when they arrive, catch ya later." With that Sun ran and jumped up onto a roof and disappeared.
Davian turned back to us, "Let's get back to Beacon, we have Winter break soon and have to prepare for finals."
Yang groaned as we started walking back towards the airship, "Already? But it's the weekend."
I laugh as Ruby jumped onto Davian's back and proclaimed, "ONWARD MY NOBAL STEED! Let's get back and go to bed so we can enjoy the rest of our weekend before it's over!" With that we all made our way back to Beacon laughing and joking around, a team again.
HOLY CRAP 11,157 words, that's huge (for me at least). Sooo hey guys, kind of a long wait, sorry about that. As I said at the top I was very busy. Good news is that I should be updating at a normal time for now, at least until something else comes up. So I'd like to say that all the really depression back-story is done for now. I have one more spot planned, but there may be more if the situation calls for it. Another thing I'm going to say is that if I finish season two and any original chapters before season three of RWBY ends, then the story will go on a pause so I can see what happens before I start typing again. The reason is that I don't want to change any major plot points that would completely change the RWBY-verse. So yeah, that's that. Thank-you for reading and PM me any chapter ideas you'd like to see in my story.
Archangel Out...
