Chapter 4 Revelations

After grabbing what I needed including Jaune's ice pack we proceeded to the checkout.

"150 Lien sir." The young cashier said.

I took out 200 Lien and handed it to her.

"Keep the rest for your mom."

"T-Thank you Trey." She said.

"Get home safe." I told her as we exited the store.

"What was that about?" Jaune asked putting the ice pack on his head.

"Her mom is sick." I told him. "She can hardly afford the medicine she needs so I give her some Lien so she can buy it."

"A lot of people must respect you around here." Jaune said.

"Some do some don't but I can't change their minds since they hate what I am." I said trying to wave a cab.

"It's the White Fang that's putting that image in people's heads. You're probably the friendliest faunus I've met." He said

"You got a team Jaune?" I asked.

"Yeah I lead team JNPR how about you do you have a team?" he answered.

"I lead team TRAP." I answered back.

"Team TRAP? I think you guys are in the dorm next to ours." the knight said.

"Oh yeah?" I said now looking towards him.

"Yeah you're friends with that girl with the huge rifle right?" he said referring to Phoebe.

"Sure am hyper that girl is, but a damn good shot."

"Hey Trey, I was on my way to meet my team and some other friends for a bite do you want to come? It's the least I can do for you saving me and all."

I checked my scroll for the time:"9:37PM".

"Alright just let me call my locker so I can put my things in there and then we'll go." I said accepting the offer.

I put in the six digit code for my locker and within minutes it landed in front of me and Jaune. I put the supplies I bought along with my revolver and shotgun in the locker and sent it back to BEACON.

"Alright lead the way." I said to Jaune.

"Cool it's just around the corner." Jaune said

Jaune led me to this small diner where his team was seated at a long table.

"Hey guys sorry I'm late I got into some trouble on the way here, but my new friend here got me out of it." he said pointing at me

"Hello." I waved at his friends.

A girl with Orange hair got up from her seat and ran towards me.

"Jaune brought a doggy!" The girl said playing with my faunus ears.

"Nora leave him alone." A boy with a pink stripe in his hair said to the girl. "Sorry she's a bit hyper. Lie Ren." the teen said holding his hand out for a handshake.

"Trey Storm-Shield" I said returning the gesture.

Nora went back to her seat next to Ren then a girl with waist long hair stood up and introduced herself.

"Pyrrha Nikos." The red head said.

"Pleasure to meet you." I replied.

"And those four over there, are team RWBY". Jaune chimed in pointing to the four girls on the other side of the table.

"Hey there I'm Yang." the blonde girl said.

"Aren't you the girl that destroyed that night club downtown?" I asked with wonder.

"Yup." she said

I turned to a girl with a red hood. She had a face of shock then it hit me. She knows...

"Oh my gosh it's you I've been waiting for this moment my whole life my names Ruby can I get your autograph!?" she said shaking my hand hysterically.

Everyone turned to me and stared.

"What does she mean Trey?" Pyrrha asked.

I took a deep breath and sat down.

"Well since the secret's already halfway out I might as well spill it." I said being prepared for reactions all around."

"I assume you've heard of a vigilante going around fighting crime and all... well that's me I'm the Shadow Warrior everyone's talking about."

I think the most shocked of the bunch was Weiss due to the fact that she stood up and yelled.

"IT WAS YOU THIS WHOLE TIME?

"Yes..." I said as if I was confessing a crime.

"Out of all people it had to be you a faunus." She said choking me death.

"Sorry ice queen, I thought you liked your merchandise to reach its destination and not lost."

This managed to stop her in her tracks. She sat down in silence after she released me from her grasp.

"Please excuse Weiss she's not to fond of the faunus because of the conflict with the White Fang and her family." A girl with a black bow said. "Blake Belladonna" she said holding out her hand

"Trey" I said shaking her hand

"Take a seat Trey were about to order." Jaune said putting me in a chair in the middle of Pyrrha and Blake.

After dinner we all talked about our initiations. Who would have thought these guys took down a Nevermore and a Deathstalker in the same day. They seem like they can handle themselves pretty well. We were making our way to the airships until I heard screams followed by a gunshot coming from down the road. Without hesitation I ran towards the screams without saying a word.

"Hey Trey, where are you going?" Jaune shouted.

"Let's go after him." Ruby suggested.

They did just that. I arrived to the scene and fell to my knees. I couldn't function after what I was looking at. It was the girl that worked the register at the store lying in a pool of her own blood with a bullet wound in her chest. I looked around to see if I can find the one who did this and saw someone running away to the right of the street. I had no room for mercy I was acting purely on rage. I began to chase after the murderer. I was getting a strange feeling in my arm the feeling I would get when my markings would move from my shoulder to my hand. Jaune and the rest of the group spotted the body and saw me running after the man.

"I'll call an ambulance you guys go." Ren said pulling out his scroll.

The rest of the group nodded and continued their pursuit. Passing a shop I saw in my reflection that both my eyes were crimson red and my right arm had taken the form of... a claw? This didn't stop me and I was closing in on the murderer. I jumped from my position and landed on him.

"Please it was on accident please don't hurt me!" the man said begging for his life.

No more mercy. No more forgiveness. I wasn't in control of my body all I could do is watch what I was about to do. I raised my claw to begin ripping him apart.

"Trey stop!" I heard Pyrrha's voice shout.

I looked over my shoulder to see Pyrrha leading my friends over to me

"This isn't the way to handle this situation do not kill him!"

"But he killed.." I tried to say but was interrupted.

"She's fine Ren called an ambulance they got to her in time she's on her way to the hospital."

I calmed down a bit once I heard the news. I looked down only to find the man had escaped my grasp. The bastard got away. I got up and caught my breath. My arm had reverted back to its normal state.

"I'm sorry for acting out it's just..." I said interrupted once more

"It's ok we understand right guys?" Pyrrha said looking at our friends.

They all agreed

"C'mon let's get back to BEACON so you can rest."

I'll never hear the end of this is Aunt Katherine finds out.

When we got off the airship I got this massive headache. This is probably how that beowolf felt when Roland smashed it head into the ground. As the others went to their dorms Pyrrha walked me to mine. The door was open and we walked in. I saw a note on one of the beds it read : We are staying the night at Roland's house stay safe leader- Anna.

"Are you going to be okay by yourself?" Pyrrha asked.

"Yeah I'll be fine thanks for you know... stopping me and all. I don't know what got over me."I said sitting down on the bed.

Pyrrha put her hand on my shoulder.

"Trey we friends look out for each other I just hope you'd do the same for one of us in the future. It's getting late get some rest we have class tomorrow did you get your schedule? "

I turned the note around: schedules on the desk- Phoebe

"Yeah here it is." I said handing it to her.

She skimmed through it.

"We have a few classes together in the morning and afternoon."

"So that means I have to see you more often that sucks." I said teasing her.

She punched my arm and ended up on the floor.

"Ouch."

"I'm sorry." she apologized.

"It's ok I just wasn't expecting it." I said getting off the ground.

"Well goodnight Trey first class is at 9AM I'll see you there." Pyrrha said opening the door.

"Night." I said waving her goodbye.

What a night. After a cold shower I got ready for bed and stared at the ceiling.

"Well she seems nice." A voice in the room echoed.

I jumped out of my bed hearing this.

"Who's there?" I said aloud.

"It's me your semblance." the voice said.

A figure formed on the chair in front of the desk.

"I must be hallucinating I can't really be talking to my shadow that's weird."

"Almost as weird as your arm taking the form of a claw?" the clone said.

"How did you..."

"I've been watching over you your whole life." the shadow said walking towards my bed. "I know more about you and those around you than you think."

"Like what." I asked facing the shadow.

"The fact that Velvet and Pyrrha have sprouted feelings for you, the fact that you're a werewolf, oh and the fact you've been lied to for years. "

"Wait what was the second one?" I asked in shock.

"You're a werewolf." the shadow said "You unlocked your werewolf traits the moment you charged the Ursa in the forest. What you thought I was behind the claw thing?"

"How long have I been a... you know?" I said sitting back down.

"You inherited it from your father."

"Dad was a werewolf?"

"I've spoken too much of the topic if you want to hear more speak with your Aunt she's already aware of what happened earlier." The shadow said

I'll have to stop by the house when I have time.

"What was the first one again?" I asked

"Velvet and Pyrrha have grown feelings for you and sooner or later you're going to have to choose."

Velvet I saw coming, but Pyrrah? No way she'd fall for me so quickly.

"Velvet's feelings for you grew the moment you confessed on the ferris wheel. As for Pyrrha her friends were convinced she liked Jaune, but that all changed the moment she met you." The shadow said

"Is there anything else I have to worry about?" I said laying down.

"Jake is not to be trusted I have reason to believe he is a part of the White Fang." the shadow said

"What makes you think that." I asked.

"The dust never made it to its destination."

"Thank you for the information." I said fixing my pillow.

"If you require more assistance you know how to reach me. You should sleep you don't want to fall asleep on your first day." the shadow said as is disintegrated into the darkness of the room.

I took its advice. I couldn't believe what I had just heard this changes everything. I have to control myself if not I'm going to end up in an even bigger mess.

The next morning*

I woke up only to realize I had 10 minutes to get ready.

"Shit I overslept." I said to myself.

I was brushing my teeth when I saw something strange...my markings grew. Normally they reverted back but now it was longer, more than likely from when my arm changed last night. This was the least of my worries at the moment. I put on my uniform and walked out still trying to button the jacket only to be bumped into Weiss who was running at full speed.

"Out of the way dog." she said getting up and running.

Blake stopped in front of me.

"Get up we're all late." She said lifting me from the ground.

I joined team RWBY and JNPR in a morning run to our first class. My jacket was flying trying to keep up with me. Surprising that we all have the same class.

A few classes later it was now lunch time and I went to the library with Blake to pick up some books I needed for my classes.

"You come here often Blake?" I asked the dark haired girl.

"Every now and then when I need quiet or just to check out a new book." she answered.

"Hey can I ask you a question? I asked her.

"What's on your mind?" she answered.

"Have you told anyone?"

"About?"

"The ears Blake." I said pointing at her bow.

"How did you..."

" I saw them when you helped me up this morning."

She looked down in disappointment.

"Look secrets safe with me I'm just wondering why you'd hide them is all. you don't have to say anything if you don't want to just let me know if you want to talk about it."

She looked up and smiled. We were walking towards the cafeteria when I heard Velvet's voice.

"Ow that hurts." I heard her say.

I dropped the books I was holding and ran towards the cafeteria.

"Trey wait!" Blake said as I took off, but I didn't listen.

The feeling had returned to my arm. I was well aware of what was happening now. I saw Cardin pulling Velvet's ears and laughing with his friends. Seeing this made me furious and I started marching towards the scene with my arm already in claw form. I looked around the room one last time and saw everyone about to witness what I was about to do. I pulled Velvet from Cardin's grasp and with all my strength clawed him hard enough to send him to the nearest wall. looking at the aftermath it turns out I clawed right through his armor. I walked towards him and crouched to his position.

"Lay a finger on her again and ill rip that arm off." I said staring at him directly in his eyes striking fear in them.

Cardin ran out of the cafeteria along with his team. I took a look around me everyone was in shock. Then I saw Professor Ozpin in the window.

I'm in for it now
