Team DETH Chapter 4

First night and day at Beacon

Damien, Emily, Terius and Heather meet on top of the cliffs, turned in their artifacts to Ozpin and then waited in the auditorium to be put into teams. Once teams began to get put together the group felt slightly out of place. 'Names like ruby, juniper and cardinal at a combat school. What has this world come to?' Damien thought. Some of the teams got more fighting names like warrior and paladin, but there team name was one of the most appreciate. "Damien Quicksilver, Terius Blackheart, Emily Night-claw and Heather Night-claw, you four collected the black king pieces, from this day forth you shall be called team death, lead by Damien Quicksilver." A rather fear filled applause followed many of the audience considering what they must have done to receive the designation death.

The next morning Emily awoke in their dorm room. The four had been almost too tired to unpack, and much too tired to decorate. When Emily looked around the room she noticed 2 things one it was almost 4:00 in the morning and that Damien was gone. She then saw a note on the door. It read: "I woke up really early and decided to spend some time in the schools weapons workshop, this will be a daily routine. I set your alarm clocks to wake you guys up at 6:00. Get changed into the uniform and meet me in the school cafeteria at 6:30 for breakfast and I'll show you guys to our first class."

Emily quickly got changed and was out the door heading to the weapons workshop by 4:15 hoping to talk to Damien. When she got there she found him sitting next to a black design template. She sat down right next to him. "Why are you up now?" Damien asked.

"Couldn't sleep, how about you?"

"Usually I come up with great designs right about now."

"At this time?"

"My problem is that the team won't work together but I can't build something to fix this." Damien was good at concealing how he felt but this really bothered him.

"What is so wrong with that? You can't change how people are."

"Since I was young I was a genius with designs. Some albeit rather ridicules but good with tweaks from my parents and grandfather." Damien paused for a few seconds preparing himself for a fake apology that is almost inevitable in his mind, then continues. "My parents died when I was 7 and I couldn't build something to fix that. It lead to my problems with people, not being able to just hit a reset button and go back to something I messed up." Emily turned his head towards her and took off his aviators looking right into his eyes.

"Our team will learn to work together. We will adapt to tough situations, it's what people do. While you can't fix mistakes you can still continue. You can't always build something to fix your problems, sometime you just have to act." Their faces were inches apart and Damien made the decision to act instead of build and closed the gap between them. Their kiss lasted only a few seconds then Damien pulled back.

"U-um, w-we should, um, I mean I should show you around the school before we have to go to classes." Damien quickly closed his computer put it in his messenger bag and began to walk away. 'Ok this presents all new problems.' Damien thought, silently analyzing his situation as Emily fallowed fairly close behind.

'Did I do something wrong? I thought it was nice. But this is Damien Quicksilver, he's probably kissed tons of girls? He did say he had trouble with people.' Emily got into an argument inside her own head as she fallowed Damien letting him tell her about the places he had found due to his lack of sleep. 'Maybe I should ask Heather about this?' Emily thought.

'This can't be known by anyone' Damien concluded. The pair continued exploring the school, examining the books the library had and just generally finding the rooms they would have classes in.

Terius slowly opens his eyes, stretching his arms and notices the body on top of him "Hello? Who's on top of me?" The sound of Heather grumbling echo's in the room 'Why is she there' Terius moves his tail to tickle her cheek

"Stop that I don't want to wake up yet" Heather says in a relaxed tone. Terius slowly tries to sit up and now notices the scantily clad girl lying on top of him, Terius tries pushing her off gently but is rewarded by her hugging his arm. Giving up Terius closes his eyes and goes back to sleep

Soon after Terius' experience Heather finally wakes grabbing onto his chest letting out a sigh feeling the warmth of his body "Kitty cat" the words escape her lips with a form of contempt, opening her eyes she looks at his lips and gently kisses him then rolls off the bed and stumbles into her clothes and looks around noticing Damien and Emily gone 'Damien better not be touching my sister' She trudges out and to the cafeteria leaving Terius alone.

Heather walks into the cafeteria and sees Damien and Emily sitting next to each other, Heather storms forward and coughs getting their attention "Emily can I sit down" forcing them apart and sitting between them. "Emily I got worried that you went off, remember if its shiny, it's also expensive" she glances over at Damien (sparkling like a vampire from twilight).

"If you are trying to imply something the message isn't really getting across." Damien explains then grabs his laptop and starts to work, ignoring Heather

Emily's head falls to look at the ground not wanting to offend Heather and feels embarrassed about Damien but reluctantly has breakfast with Heather. Damien keeping watch over the times notices that class is approaches, looking around he doesn't see Terius "Heather, Emily do you know where Terius is?" Heather explains Terius is back in the dorm, Damien annoyed "You two go to class I will get him"

Damien charging into the room sees a sleeping Terius in sky blue boxers, arms and legs spread along his bed "Terius wake up" Damien says with authority, Terius responds with a groan "Terius get up we have class!" Damien raises his voice; Terius groans louder "I will drag you there if you don't get up" Terius happily nods. Damien grabs him by the arms and drags him along the floor like a dead man.

Making a clear entrance Damien throws Terius into a seat and soon joins the group sitting next to Heather. Professor Bartholomew Oobleck enters and scans over his new class, noticing Terius he dashes, looking at the roaster he call "Terius Blackheart, for not being dressed in school uniform, that's a detention" Terius slowly wakes up and looks up at the angry professor "Another detention for sleeping in my class"

Terius looks at Heather and Emily giggling and then around the room at the class staring at him, he than looks down at his underwear "Well Fuck!" he slams his head onto the desk falling asleep again
