Chapter Ten: Forever Falls

Beacon dorms roof tops

I really hate having a team. Is it to much to ask for them to act their age and not be such a lazy jerk. Cyan had refused to go to afternoon practice saying that it was a waste of time and he had more important things to do. He then proceeded to reach under him bed and pulled out his backpack but instead of opening it and taking out his homework he just pushed it aside and reach under him bed again but this time he pulled out a plastic bag that was obviously from a nearby convenience store and it was overflowing with unhealthy snacks. Laying down on his bed he wiped out his scroll and started to browse about while eating his sugar flavored treats. Before I could beat his as* Kelly came, in the end we left him. It not like it's my problem if he loses in— wait I'm their leader so I would be blamed, dammit.

The day done not end there, after I cool my head down a bit I decided to join the other at the dorm. The door of the dorm was partly open, I having spent the last few weeks living with a prankster knew it could be nothing but a trap. I kicked the door open and sure enough water cascaded to the floor. I was able to avoid the water but Razi comics books were not so lucky. Razi then started arguing with Kelly and Cyan was brought into the arguing somehow. I tried to calm them down but they just ignored me. After a minutes of fighting I left threw the window and climbed to the roof for peace. I wonder if Ruby was having a hard time

with her team as well.

"Chase what are you doing up there you need to sleep we've got a field trip tomorrow," shouted Kelly from the window. "Yay a trip with the crazy 'Goodwitch'" Shaking my head then climbed down carefully entering the window.

Razi was curled up in a ball morning his loss. Cyan was already in bed and Kelly was getting into bed she quickly gave me a look then laid down fallowing her lead I head to my bed to get some sleep.

Forever Falls Forest

"Yes students, the Forest of forever fall is indeed beautiful but we are not here to sight-see. Professor Peaches asked all of you to collect sample from the trees inside this forest and I'm here to make sure that none of you die while doing so." "Jaune may be the only one who needs help" I thought while looking at the blond as he bumps into Cardin "-Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of the creatures of grimm so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here at four o'clock, have fun!"

"Alright guys let's get to work" but before any one of my teammates could read it Kelly was pulling us of into the woods

"Here," Kelly stated heading to a tree.

"Two of us need to keep watch while the other two get there jar of sap" I wrote but both Kelly and Cyan were already gathering sap leaving only Razi to read the note and nod in agreement.

"Chase is right guys," Razi calls to the two.

"What?" both Kelly and Cyan ask at the same time, I just facepalm.

"Oh, right you both can do that while we do this," Kelly states. Resisting the urge to facepalm I just nod while grabbing my rifle and Razi takes out his claws.

~ROAR~

"What was that?" Razi asked while nervously glancing around.

"Ursa sounds like it to the north of us"

"So we're safe from it then?" he said looking for reassurance.

"For the most part" I answered not want to scare him unnecessarily but also not wanting him to lower his guard.

~GROWL~

"Never mind looks like we got some friends here" beowolves slowly make there way through the bushes at us, Kelly and Cyan quickly grabbed there weapon. "You two worry about getting the sap we got these guys" they nodded and continued to draw sap form the tree.

I make eye contact with Razi and sent him a few hand gestures, over the weeks I have taught them how to read different hand gestures to make things easier in combat. Razi only gave a nod as he knew what to do.

As I fired my first shot it seemed like everything moved sluggishly but I didn't have time to think about it. I put three rounds into the first wolf killing it as Razi charge at the second one. The wolf was able to avoid Razi first attack but Razi quickly counter and slicing the wolf. Aiming at the third wolf I fired my last two bullets the first one grazed it front leg the second one hit it in the chest wounding it looking at Razi while I was reloading he cut the head off the wolf before charging the next one an arrow passed me hitting the wounded wolf in the head killing it. Turning around I saw Kelly with her bow out and Cyan was charging in with his sword quickly cutting one wolf in half.

Kelly ran next to me, "we got the sap."

I nodded aiming my gun back up as she pulls an arrow and notching it we look at each other before firing our weapons Kelly hits her mark, killing another wolf. My first two bullet just wounded another one as my third pierced it heart. Razi and Cyan were working together to fight one of the wolves Cyan was blocking taking most of the attacks while Razi used his small size and flanked the wolf to deliver the death blow.

"Guys we got what we came for shouldn't we be heading back now?" Cyan asked.

"He's right all right everyone let's get out of here"

We all ran until we lost the beowolves. Once we were out of woods and at the rendezvous point we turned in the red sap.

~Time skip~

We were heading back to the academy when Ruby came up to us, "so did anything interesting happy?"

We all just looked at each other. "You can say that."
