School yard

Abie and Ursa approached the long staircase to the DWMA. They looked at each other in disbelief of how many stairs they would have to travel, but eventually they reached the top. They put their hand on their knees to take in some air.

Ursa took deep breathes, "I will definitely… wont be looking forward to this every day. D…Don't you agree?"

"Yup," She gasped, not looking to waste the energy she had to speak. After she caught her breath, she looked up at the enormous structure for misters and weapons, where Death watched over the city, where their dreams would hopefully become true. A tear formed in her eye and quickly wiped it away; Ursa stared at Abie and started to walk into the yard.

Abie's face became almost stale once she saw the school yard empty. Ursa looked around then started to laugh. He shifted into his shadow form and continued his seemingly endless laughter. Abie gave a warning glance in his direction, demanding an explanation. "More then enough time was right. Not a single soul besides us! Let's go sit by the wall and just rest; we've been walking all morning. Don't you agree?"

"That's a good idea; you can shut your eyes for a bit. Ill just stay here and look around from there." She slowly walked near a corner and then her back sank to the ground.

And for a long time nobody showed, was Abie wrong about the day? The time? Where they would have to enter? Doubt was rising again within her stomach, so to escape from certain fears it held, Abie laid down on the warm ground; putting her head on a small bag she brought that held the picture of her and Ursa, as well as some tissues. She knew she might have to use it for some occasion, but hopefully not for missing out on two important dreams.

MARIE MJOLNIR

She had taken her nap and awoke with Ursa in his human form sitting beside her. Abie saw that the clock read 11:34am; could it really be that late with nobody here? And for what reason did they stay all this time? Ursa was thinking the same thing but he had an answer, because they wouldn't give up this easily.

"Abie, we should take a look around this place to see if it is actually empty." He rose from the ground. Abie sat up; Ursa helped her up before becoming her shadow again. "Where should we start?"

She wiped her eyes from yawning, "Let's go…" Abie looked to the left and right, "This way." They began to walk to their left, entering an arch that lead to an indoor hallway. The walls were huge, and the doors were a well enough size, which was a relief; they were beginning to feel like they were shrinking.

After a few minutes of wandering the hallways with no sign of anyone, Ursa stopped.

"What's wrong?" Abie grew silent; she heard some echoing footsteps suddenly. Because she desperate to see another human being, she begun to walk a little faster trying to find the source of them. Once she had thought she was a corner away, two more halls appeared.

"Is this some sort of maze?!" Ursa grunted as they continued.

The footsteps stopped, "Hello, anyone there?"

"Yes!" Abie and Ursa responded.

"This place is so confusing isn't it? Just stay where you are and I'll find you guys." Her voice seemed caring, nice and very friendly.

"Who was this?" Ursa thought.

They came to a halt and took a quick breath when from the end of the corridor was a woman, probably a teacher here. "Hi there," she had a kind smile on her face. She could be in her twenties or early thirties; she has blonde locks and an eye patch on her left eye. "Not to be rude but what are you doing here?"

Both were silent for a second, "Um…," Abie gained her confidence again, "we are planning on becoming new students here! Are we not supposed to be here at this time?" She felt a little embarrassed for not knowing.

The woman gave a little giggle then walked over to her, "That's tomorrow. Its nice you were so eager to come!" Abie fell silent; her eyes met the ground once she got closer. "How about…" She put her finger up to her mouth and looked up, then quickly said, "Ah ha! Would you like a tour of the DWMA?"

Abie's face lit up again, the smile re appeared on her face, "Really? That would be cool!" This was certainly not what they expected, it was ten times better. "Isn't this awesome Ursa?" He didn't reply.

"Excuse me?" The woman questioned.

"Sorry, hold on a moment." Abie turned around and started yapping to Ursa. "Have manors Ursa, this lady is giving us a tour of the Academy!" His silence continued. To the woman, she was talking to nothing, and took a step back with a sad smile.

"Oh, my name is Marie by the way, Marie Mjolnir, and I'm a death scythe here from Oceania." Marie added.

Abie turned around slowly, jaw dropped. "A death scythe is giving us a tour of the DWMA? I'm going to faint!" She actually might, she was so excited. "My name is Abie, I've, excuse me, we've waited so long to come here and be apart of the Academy! Thank you so much for being so kind, Marie."

"Not a problem, but there's one thing…" She started getting sad. It infected Abie as well, she raised an eyebrow. "I got lost looking for someone. So we have to get out of here to a place I can lead us off to."

Abie giggled, "Yeah, I can get us to the school yard. It's not to far from here." Marie nodded; she led the way and jumped a bit when Marie took her hand like a small child. Abie looked back at her; Marie looked at her with a polite smile.
