Picks up from the last Troubled Teens chapter.
More of a Cat Person
So here I am waking up three days later after being shot. This morning was a waterfall of apologies from Pyrrha. Katherine in her spare time possessed a cat and wont leave my shoulder.
"I can hear you." Katherine said poking my head with her paw."I'm still spiritually attached to you son."
Ozpin has assigned me with showing a new student from Sanctum around the school since it's already noon and missed class. I'm laying down on a bench in my battle gear waiting because after this I need to run training with Roland. Katherine moved to lay down on my stomach.
"Wonder who he or she is." she said getting comfortable.
"If it's a human I just hope they're just ok with faunus."
I closed my eye's thinking this person would never show up then it happened.
"Um...hello?"
The voice was female.
"Are you Trey Stormshield?" the girl asked.
"You the girl from Sanctum?" I asked opening my eyes slightly.
"Yep, Valerie Leone at your service!" the girl said bowing her head.
I opened my eyes to a faunus I had never seen before. She had on a pair of glasses, beanie in which her faunus ears came out of, jean shorts with leggings, and a band t-shirt, and black and blue arm sleeves, but the part that stood out more was her species. She was a white tiger faunus!
"The headmaster said you could show me around?" Valerie said tilting her head.
I got up startling Katherine resulting in a glare from her dark purple eyes.
"(Gasp) You have a kitty!" Valerie said lifting Katherine and holding her in her arms.
"Meow?" Katherine purred.
"She's so cute what's her name?"
"Katherine." I replied
"Aren't you just the cutest thing?" Valerie said scratching Katherine's head.
"I like this girl." Katherine said telepathically.
"So, Valerie you ready to see the school?" I asked.
"Can I still hold Katherine?" she asked.
"Sure"
"Onward then!" she said pointing to the school.
Throughout the tour we exchanged backstories and interests.
Valerie's story*
I grew up in Vale, in a small suburb on the edge of the residential district. Being this species of faunus brought a lot of attention from people on to my family for a while. I made the right friends and together we were going to change the way people thought about the faunus. We attended the White Fang protests until they got violent. There were three of us. Sabrina, Fiona, and myself. A large group of humans had cornered us in a alley way about two years ago. They died trying to fight them off with a broken bottle and a rusty pipe. I thought I was done for. They talked about ripping my ears and tail off to sell for a large amount of lien. Then that Shadow Warrior vigilante showed up and fought them off. He tried to patch up my friends...but it was too late. He carried them to the hospital in a final attempt to save them, but I knew they were already gone. No one had ever shown me that much kindness besides my two friends. I continued my time at Sanctum alone. I grew stronger, faster, and smarter. I'm going to fight for equality not just for my friends...but for every one who's been mistreated. Everyone who's been left out faunus or not and most importantly...I want to find the Shadow Warrior and thank him for what he did for my friends. I want to repay him for his efforts to save my friends. And once I do...I'm going to continue to fight and this is the place that will teach me what I need to know.
Trey's POV*
I remember that night...I remember everything. I...I need to tell her. If I take this opportunity from her I'll never forgive myself.
"Hey Valerie..."
"Yeah Trey?"
"Meet me at this shop at 9PM sharp." I said handing her the address to Demarco's shop.
"Sure no problem."
"Did Ozpin tell you where your dorm was?" I asked.
"He said I was staying with you until a dorm opens up."
"It's about 8 o clock why don't you unpack I have to run some errands. Make yourself at home."
"Alrighty"
I ran into Velvet in the hall on my way out of the dormitory.
"Hey you where are you going?" She asked.
"I'm going to Demarco's he said something's wrong with up with my gear so I'm going to go get them checked."
"Oh,but I thought-"
"Then I'm going to rent a movie and we're going to watch it together how does that sound?"
"Deal. Be careful I love you." She said kissing me on the cheek.
"Love you too." I said running out the exit.
Demarco's Custom Weapons* 9:00 PM (Valerie's POV)
"Hello..." I said to the bearded man behind the counter."I'm supposed to meet Trey here?"
Demarco went to the curtains behind the counter.
"She's here"
I was wondering who he was talking to...then I got my answer.
"It's...It's you!"
"I couldn't stand around knowing how you felt."
"What are you talking about?" I asked the vigilante.
"We met earlier" He said.
"Oh my gosh...Trey?"
Trey took off his face mask revealing his face.
It's him. It's the man that gave me hope...
So I'm editing this in to say a few words: If you haven't already heard Monty Oum has passed away. He will be missed by relatives and us here on the site. He was an inspiration to us all. He was the spark that made our fires burn...fires not to be extinguished. As for the story it will still be going. this chapter was a bit short i know i had it just sitting there for days before i actually posted it. I thought of Valerie one day thinking i wouldn't use her for anything.A small idea on a piece of paper.I asked people about they thought and they said they liked the idea of her. So i thought i'd introduce her now and have her play a roll in the story. Tell me what you think. Goodnight and goodbye.
