"Damn it, why, why, WHY! Why don't I treat her like shit. I shouldn't care for anyone so why do I care for her. I would rather die instead of letting her die. This makes no sense. I'm a killer not a saver but I saved her. My rep is ruined. I'm no longer the lone wolf of emerald forest. Now I'm just a puny little dog that has a bark worse than his bite. NO! That is not the case forget everything she has done for you forget it all. It's the only way to show you're not weak." Braxton started to punch a tree that stood in front of him. "I will show all that this dog is a wolf that can pierce air with his howl and break steel with his bite." The wolf slammed his fist into the tree knocking it down. "Time to show everyone what a wolf can do starting with Ulric Ironwood." The wolf started to run through the forest. Beowolves watched as he ran through not even tempting to fight the wolf. "There's the wall. Let's get this done with so I can rip the rich boy apart and watch him bleed." He scaled the wall without pausing. Almost like he had claws that was digging into the brick allowing him to move freely. He made it to the top looking for the others but no one was there. "Fine I'll just run back." He went on running as fast as his feet could let him. The wolf started to slow down. "Why do I feel so drained? This is my warm up in the morning so I should be fine." Braxton touched his left shoulder feeling a wet spot where Ulric had shot him from before. "Damn I opened the wound. She told me to take it easy and I go and punch a tree until it falls. I'm such a dumbass. I think I can make it without bleeding to death. I have quarter mile left. I should be able to walk that." Braxton made it to the front gate and passed out.
"Ozpin I have a student here on the ground looks like he's bleeding bad." A teacher found Braxton laying on the ground.
"Bring him to the infirmary. I'll have Lee take a look at him."
"Okay Ozpin." The teacher picked up Braxton in his arms and carried him to the infirmary.
"Oh Professor Port, hmm who's that in your arms?" A faunus woman stood in the middle of a white room with a desk to her right and three beds in the back of the room.
"I don't know, I found him on the ground when I was out for my walk. He seems to be in bad shape. Ozpin said he'll be right down and told me to bring him to you. That's all I know."
"Then help me out by taking of this boys jacket and his shirt as well. Then put him on a bed."
"Yes ma'am" the Professor did as he was told "This boy has seen some fights. There's saved(what?) all over his body."
"Does it matter how many fights this young wolf has seen Peter."
"Oh Ozpin and no it doesn't."
"If you two aren't going to help then please leave."
"You're right Lee we should be helping. What do you need."
"Some gaus would help and some of the ace wrap." Ozpin walked over to a cabinet above the desk and took out the items the faunus had requested.
"Here you go. And Peter I would like to talk to the doctor in private please."
"Okay Ozpin I'll be outside if you need me."
"There's no need everything is fine now. Go ahead and finish your walk." The professor left the room without another word.
"Ozpin who is this boy. He seems so familiar like I know him."
"This Wolf is Braxton Barton and trust me he is not a boy but a wolf."
"How dare you say that about this faunus! Wait did you say Braxton?"
"Yes, why?"
"I helped a boy name Braxton a long time ago. He was all bloody from a fight with Grimm if I would have hafe to guess. He had a massive cut around his right eye and a one down his left cheek." She looked at Braxton looking at the scars that were on his face matching what she said but with others on his forehead as well. "So I finally meet him again but in a worse situation than before. Poor Braxton."
"He may be in bad shape but it's not a worst situation than before trust me."
"Okay but I do have something to tell you Ozpin."
"What's that?"
"I'm-I'm pretty sure he's not going to stay around once he wakes."
"Hmm, why do you say that?"
"Because last time he grabbed his pistols Grimm and Fang walked right out of my house without saying goodbye and or thank you. So I can't promise he'll stay when he wakes."
"He will and just make sure he doesn't die Lee that's all I ask. Now I'll be leaving. I must tell his team that he's in here."
His team, what does he mean? Is Brax a leader now. Man they grow up so fast.
"Lee you listening to me?"
"Yes, sorry Ozpin I got lost in my thoughts."
"Just make sure he doesn't run away right away."
"You got it."
Ozpin walked out of the room and took out his scroll.
"So this is the dorm room." Ulric was the first to walk into the room. There was four beds one next to the window in the middle of the room. Another in the right hand corner next to the door. And the other beds were stacked on top of each other in the left hand corner next to the door.
"Yeah it is so I choose where we sleep."
"No you don't. You're not leader."
"Neither are you Ulric."
"Everyone calm down." Telcam stood in front of the two. "We're teammates, so we should start acting like it."
"Like always Tel finds the way to break up the fight."
"Good now that we're done acting like kids. Ulric and me well get the bunk bed. Zawaz you choose what you want and Braxton gets what's left over."
"I'll take the one in the corner. So that leaves Brax with the window. Hmm I got a message."
"Same here"
"Me as well"
They looked at their scrolls. It read, We have found Braxton Barton. He is in the infirmary. Please stop by to see how he is doing tomorrow morning.
From,
Headmaster Ozpin.
"He's kidding, right?" Zawaz sat on her bed looking at the scroll.
"What you mean Zawaz? I thought you would be happy that they found him."
"See that's where you're wrong. I'm not happy they found him because he wasn't lost. It's like he's a lost puppy the way put it. So no Ulric I'm not happy."
"Z just chill out. I don't think Ozpin meant any harm by the message."
"I know he didn't but still I hate how they said they found him." So looked through the window ignoring Ulric. "I'm going to go see him."
"Woah, wait right now?" She got up from her bed and walked to the door. "You're fucking serious." Ulric stood in front of the door blocking her path.
"Move Ulric"
"Hell no."
"Guys calm down it's 10:30 at night and we have school tomorrow. So let's get are sleep because I can guarantee that Braxton is already sleeping." Telcam stood in front of the window. "Do you guys disagree because you're not letting me know if you do."
"You're right again Telcam twice in one day no less."
"Fine we went go now but tomorrow morning we go right away."
"Okay Z." Telcam nodded his head to agree with Zawaz.
"Then let's get some sleep." Telcam and Zawaz walked to there beds but Ulric stayed in the middle of the room. "Something wrong Ulric?"
"No, I'll be right back I need to do something."
"Okay just don't take too long." Ulric walked out of the room. He took his scroll out of his pocket and typed in a number.
"Hello Ulric, what do you need?"
"Hey dad I need that sniper that you wanted to give me."
"Of course but why now? What made you not take it in the first place?"
"I had no need for it in the beginning but now I meet something what needs a higher caliber to take it down."
"That wouldn't happen to be your new leader Braxton Barton would it? No never mind it doesn't concern me. Your rifle will be there in the morning Ulric. Have a goodnight."
"Same to you dad." Ulric ended the call and walked back into the dorm room and hopped into the bottom bunk bed. Ulric whispered to himself. "Good night everyone."
Ulric was the first to wake. He got dressed in sweats and walked out of the dorm room. The sun just started to rise. "Let's see if it's here." Ulric ran through the halls heading toward the mail room. "It should be right up ahead. Just right around the corner." Ulric stopped in front of a wall made of glass with a door in the middle. There was a sign on the door that read "Open". Ulric walked into the mail room. A man sat behind a wood counter.
"Hello may I help you?"
"Yes my father sent me a package saying it would be here by morning."
"Oh you must be Ulric Ironwood."
"Yes, do does that mean you have my package."
"Yes it's right here. The man said you would be in early and to keep it near."
"Good do I have to sign anything to get my package."
"Yes just put your name here and you can be on your way." Ulric sign the papers and left with a massive case.
"Let's go back to the dorm. Maybe the others are up by now." Ulric walked into Telcam standing out in the hall. "Why are you out here Tel?"
"Zawaz is getting changed. So I left the room so she would have some privacy."
"Good man or cat or whatever you know what I mean."
"Yes I do and where were you this morning?"
"Picking up this bad boy. Braxton has his big gun now so do I." The cat just shooked his head.
"Okay Tel you can come back in." Telcam and Ulric walked into the room. "Time to go see Brax."
"Yeah just give me a sec. I need to do something." Ulric put the case down on his bed and opened it up. "Yeah this will do perfect."
"Come on Ulric we still have class after Brax you know." Zawaz stood in the doorway waiting for Ulric.
"Fine" They began to walk to the infirmary but they ran into the leader of them SHDW, Selina.
"Oh it's the new team on the block BUZT was it." She had a teasing smile on her face as looked at Zawaz.
"Hello Selina. Why are you up so early?"
"Oh me I'm going to see the wolf of emerald forest."
"Wait why!?"
"Does it matter why?"
"No not at all sorry."
"Good then I'll be on my way." She continued down the hall toward the infirmary.
"Man Zawaz way to suck some ass."
"Shut your mouth Ulric."
"Whatever just make sure the wolf doesn't hear that you did that."
There was a knock on the door to the infirmary.
"Come in." Selina walked through the doorway. With Lee standing over Braxton who was still asleep. "Oh Selina what brings you here."
"The wolf of emerald forest."
"Hmm there's no one by that name here. I think you mean Braxton Barton."
"Does it matter what I meant. I'll call him what I please Lee."
"So you're not in a good mood today are you."
"I'll be better when the wolf wakes up."
"Well I'm up because of you constant bitching. So what you need." Braxton sat up looking at the wall.
"I like 're not afraid to say what you want to say."
Braxton turned toward the two faunus. "I could careless- wait who the hell are you cause I thought I was talking to Lee but I don't know you."
"Names Selina Dark and you're Braxton the wolf of emerald forest if I'm correct."
"You know what I don't like people so I'm gonna grab my shit and go. Wait where the fuck is my shirt and my jacket?"
"Over there hanging on a hook Grimm and Fang are right next to it as well."
"Good I'll be on my way then." Braxton put Grimm and Fang in the back of his waistline. He grabbed his gray shirt and his black denim jacket. He put them in and walked out.
"Man where did he get all those scars? He had more than Damocles and that's saying something" Selina kept looking at where Braxton laid.
"That cub has been to hell and still hasn't left let."
"I think you're wrong and epically calling him a cub. Right now he's a full grown wolf waiting to tear someone apart and I can't wait to see how it goes."
"Braxton there you are." Zawaz ran down the hall at Braxton. "Brax are you leaving?"
"Leave me be if you value your life." Braxton kept walking down the hall not looking back at Zawaz.
Zawaz whispered "Brax what happened."
"Hey asshole how about you look her in the face when you say such a thing."
"Ulric don't bother." Zawaz stood off to the side.
"Listen to her richy rich."
"You're supposed to be our leader and you're treating us like dirt."
"Get used to it because I don't care about anyone but me. So you can stop trying to make me feel bad for what I said cause I just don't care."
"You know what I'm sick of your attitude and someone needs to put you in your place."
"Who's that gonna be?" Braxton was Ulric's face now but being considerably shorter than him he was looking up at him. "Don't make me laugh you wouldn't last a minute against me."
"How about I prove you wrong." Ulric pushed Braxton back making him stumble. Braxton caught himself and through his right elbow into Ulric's gut. Ulric doubled over on himself. Braxton put his fists together and brought them down on Ulric's spine smashing him into the ground.
"Like I said you wouldn't last a minute against me." Braxton spat at Ulric and kicked him into the wall.
"This isn't over yet wolf." Ulric was on one knee about to get up but Braxton kicked him in the head sending Ulric backwards.
"Give up or die your choice. Either way I'm happy to do both."
"I…." Ulric paused, what am I doing. Am I actually thinking about giving I to this wolf. No fuck that get up and fight. "I don't give up." Ulric launched his body at the wolf knocking him down. Ulric was in a top mount on Braxton. Ulric threw punch after punch hitting the wolf harder and harder. Braxton began to laugh .
"Hahaha, that's more like it." Braxton rolled over to get top mount on Ulric. "I thought I was fighting a bitch who couldn't do anything I guess I was wrong. And I couldn't be happier that I was wrong." Braxton began to pound on Ulric smashing his fist into Ulric's face with complete disregard. "Come on don't make this easy on me fight back you… fucking…. Bitch."
"Hey get off him now kid." Damocles ran down the hall aiming at Braxton who was still pounding on Ulric. Damocles smashed into Braxton sending them both to the ground. Damocles was on top of Braxton holding him down. "You need to chill wolf. There's no point in killing a guy who ain't worth it. So just chill out."
"Get off me before I kill you instead."
"No offence but you couldn't even if I didn't try to protect myself."
"Damocles get off him and go help out Zawaz and Telcam with Ulric." Selina walked over to Damocles.
"Okay I'll help them. Just be careful he's a killer for damn sure."
"I'll keep that in mind Damocles now go help them."
"Fine I get the hint." Damocles helped up Ulric with Telcam and brought Ulric into ghee infirmary.
"Hey wolf follow me." Selina put her hand to Braxton to help him up. Braxton took the help.
"Lead the way."
