A huntress is supposed to protect people right? But how can I protect anyone? I can barely keep myself alive!
i woke up slowly, testing out every muscle in my body before I moved it. Sunlight peaks through the blinds on the windows and makes me squint my eyes. It can't be that late in the morning but it's certainly not 6 am.
The room I'm in does look like an infirmary. Thankfully there aren't any more people in here some no one just have been hurt...yet. I eat up and put a hand to my head. Am I seriously okay, maybe it was all a dream and I'm waking up from the looney bin.
"Ah there are so clothes here." I murmur and look at a note on them. It's direction to a shower eh? Do I smell that bad? Either way I except the change of clothes and successfully find the bathroom.
After I'm freshened up I come back to the room cautiously and see the red haired boy from before. He was waiting at the door with his back against it.
"Hey your from yesterday! I'm so sorry for falling on you!" I say and skid to a stop infront of him.
"GAH! that doesn't matter right now hurry!" He says startled at my sudden appearence but grabs my hand and gets us moving quickly.
"Where are we going?" I ask. We wound through hall after hall, slowly going higher and higher up after each staircase we pass. I wonder why theres no elevators here. That's what they say they use at beacon...well this is beacon...but not.../my/ beacon.
Why am I even trying to explain this to myself?
"Don't trip there. We have to go to initiation. If we're late we are both dead." He says and finally we stop our endless sprint at the top of the school. Looking out I can see all of the bronze like towers that stand her. We aren't the highest you can go but sure are high.
Put a foot behind me as a strong wind blows us back a bit. i smile and close my eyes, bathing in the warm sunlight and letting r wind cool me off all the same.
"This is so cool!" I say and turn around, but he red headed boy isn't there. What...What!? No no no, I don't know where to go!
The top of the tower is open to the sky, and most of it is just a regular looking rook. But theres and circilar platform in the middle that glows a bright yellow. It's hooked up by huge looking cables that lead all around and off the roof.
Did he go on this or something. It looks really mysterious. I walk up to it and stop a step away from it.
"It looks almost clear through, maybe he fell through it. I should go loo-kyyaaaaaa!" I put my foot on it and my entire body is whipped into it. I feel like, painlessly, my body is being tore and twisted apart and put back together again.
Im spit out somewhere high up with grass, my knees buckle and I find myself once again on my hands and knees trying to keep my lunch in, for the second time in twenty four hours. Lovely.
When I finally gain my senses I stand up and look around. The red haired guy is standing in front of me with a guilty look on his face. Around us is pure wild. Below a Cliff there is some taiga like forest with snow piling up everywhere. Behind us is a dessert, it stops just at the grassy area...okay maybe not /pure/ wild. It's obvious someone had to do that. But what!?
"Probably should've warned you about that. I forgot it just have been your first time on one...anyway no time to dwell on it. Come on it's right over here." He says. The cool breeze stabalizes me as we go down the Cliff a little bit.
"Um, what is initiation exactly?" I ask and he doesn't respond. Before us are the new students that are taking initiation. The red hair guys tells me to stand on one of the teleport this like everyone else. They aren't lit up so I assume they aren't on.
I look down at the other new people. Wait...wait...I thought. one girl. There's only one other girl than me. I thought Beacon was suppose to have mixed benders...alot of them. Come to think of it I saw hardly my girls when I first arrived too. There were still girls but the boys outnumbered them Waaaaaaayy too easily.
The only other girl had soft, very short curly hair. She had a scroll on he back and didn't look like she could hurt a fly.
"Alright students. In less than five minutes you will be starting your initiation process. What you will have to do is simple. Find the color amulet that matches your teleportation pad bell you, and hold it up to the person you see first after you retrieve it. That person will b your partner after this for the rest of your ten years at beacon. You all saw the dangers that the monsters hold yesterday. Please try to not be killed on your first day the paperwork would be very unpleasant. Good luck to all of you." Professor Junus said and I blink.
Thats...we have to...a partner!? I take a deep breath and widen my eyes as one by one the teleportation pads light up and people, are transported somewhere. I did not sign up for his. I signed up for my beacon. Not this definitely not this!
Im at the end of the line, and the red haired kid is beside me. His lights up red and I close my eyes as I wait for mine to light up. Wait no I won't be able to see it. I look quickly and see a blare of white. White!?
Im twisted apart and back again and collapse on the snow in the taiga forest. I breath heavily as I comprehend what I need to do. I stand up slowly, getting used to nausea a bit.
There's snow all around me, and snow is white. Where the hell am I supposed to find a white amulet here!?
I take a deep breath and start searching. Where would it be anyway? Search for about ten minutes before I stop on a patch of dirt. Il never find it if I simply must be a technique. We were transported to random places here right? Does that men it will be near me or anywhere?
"Nnnya! I never find it like is!" I say frustrated. Wrist wasn't there something about, yeah aura. Maybe I can find it with my aura.
I focus on searching rough out the area. Using my aura to act like a tracking device. For a while I found nothing but then it beeped. I snap my eyes open and spin around. I point a finger in the direction it came from.
"That Way!" I announce to myself and start running through the loose trees. There's a lot of snow on the ground but I can run through the lightly dusted parts easily.
Soon enough I see a small podium ahead of me. I skid to a stop next to it and smile when I see the white amulet inside the glass. Looks like a beauty and the beast glass podium huh?
Pulling out my sword out I release the chains and tie it around the glass. I back up to a tree and jam my sword in it. Still holding on tightly I retract the chains.
After a few seconds the glass breaks and I, flung backward with my sword. I sheath it when I stand up and run to get the amulet.
Before I can get it though, it's snatched from under my hands. A boy with jet black hair takes it and starts running the other way.
"Hey! Stop that!" I demand and follow him at high speeds. I try to get more details of him as we run through the forest. The first thing I catch, ears. Wolf ears. He's a faunus.
"Listen you won't be able to seen anything by stealing mine! Get your own!" I yell and he stops at the edge of the forest.
He turns to me and I skid to a stop. What a jerk! Sending me on a wild goose chase! He tosses it to me and it flys around my neck with a white glow.
"Just remember. There's bigger and better things out there than this school." He says through a a cloth mask he wears around his face. He gestured to outside the forest and jumps out of it.
"Hey wait!" I call to him and stop before I tumble over a cliff. I grab a tree to hold me back and gaze wide eyed at the view in front of me. A big, huge, blue sea washes up against the side of the cliff. But I don't see the boy anywhere...
Realization pumps Through me and my blood starts pounding within my body. The heated scent of danger and possible deaths makes me feel on edge.
"Wait! Are you okay!? Where did you go?!" I call to him. I get on my hands and knees and look over the edge but I don't see any body lying on the rocks.
I have to make sure he's okay. The cliff is steep but if I use my sword and chain...
I tie it around a sturdy tree that looks like it could hold several peoples weight, and slowly let the chain easy me down the cliff. I use my feet to keep me to the edge and make it down below.
"The air is so salty but..I don't see him." I close my eyes and start retracting the chain. There's nothing I could do about it now anyway. When I get back up I release the chain and sheath my sword.
I take a deep breath and look at the amulet. I have it, now all I need to do is find a partner. As I'm walking back deeper into the forest I hear a scream come from my right. Perfect, now I have a partner. Here's to hoping they don't get eaten before I reach them!
i sprint over in the direction and find a snow dusted clearing. Multiple wolves corner a the purple haired girl while a blonde guy prepares to jump to save her. The red haired guy is watching from behindl ready the move any second.
Unsheathing my sword I take a step forward but before I can go any farther the blonde guy jumps a dog, light purple haired girl starts doing some magic stuff, and the red haired guy charges one with a claiming sword.
They all kill the wolves that they daughter relatively quickly and stand there heaving for breath. I straighten out, impressed with their fighting. The blonde haired on pounded his to ground, the red haired one sliced his intp grilled bits, and the girl obliberated it with some sort of spell.
I take another step forward but quickly dive to the right. A fourth wolf tried to attack them from the side.
Yay! Now it's my turn...when did I get so excited about fighting things? I was nearly killed yesterday and now I'm happy? Maybe I shouldn't have enrolled in this school after all...well I guess I wasn't...*sigh*
Releasing the chain I wrap it around a leg of the wolf and trip it. I pull the same manuever I did with the bigger one yesterday except when I'm done I thrust my sword into the wolf.
It crumbles into dust, even though the others didn't do that. I shiver at the eound of my sword going through it's flesh and retract my chain. I sheath my sword and turn to the three.
"Hey I found her first so she's my partner. Go get someone else." The blonde haired guy says and connects his and her amulet. His green color and her purple color swirl in a bright light and when it's over they have the same sort of symbol on theirs.
"Ah! That's mean. Where am I supposed to find someone else in this forest?" He demands and the purple haired girl points to me with a small smile.
"Oh hi!" I say with a small wave.
"hmmm? Her...your the girl!" The red haired guy says and I recognize him from this morning. He walked over to me and I saw the burning red color of his amulet.
Mine starts glowing with his as he approaches and he stops to check it out.
"that's strange." He says and I nod. When I take a step towards him they fling to each other, pulling hard on the back of my neck, like they were maginitized. The red and the white swirl and we are officially partners? Why can't I take a simple step without something odd happening!?
