This is probably one of the longest chapters of any story that I have written so far. And like I said with the last one I have plans for some of the characters in this chapter as well down the road. As usual I do not own RWBY all rights belong to rooster teeth and their amazing team.
Born to parents too poor to properly take care of themselves, Levina was left in front of the Mistral orphanage with a note stating her birth name and an apology about leaving their child behind. Growing up with the other children in the orphanage was rough as the older kids would take out their frustration of not being adopted on the younger kids, the headmistress was unaware of any mistreatment as she was more concerned with selling the children for the highest price to the richest clients. Some of the kids that did get adopted were not heard from again or rumors spread that they had run away in the night. The orphanage itself was not in the worst condition as the headmistress had taken steps to ensure that the building and orphans looked as presentable as they could be. While the living conditions were adequate the treatment of the children from the other children was an entirely different matter.
A sort of hierarchy was formed between them with the oldest kids ruling on top and the youngest having to live at the bottom. Levina had grown up with another orphan named Delco who looked out for her as he was one of the older kids, in terms of rank he was in the top five so if he said one kid was not to be bothered the others had to listen. Delco who was twelve was ranked third out and only out ranked by the oldest pair at the orphanage the twins named Eve and Jacob who were fourteen, they were fair in setting down rules for the younger kids to follow but if someone deliberately went against them they turned into monsters dealing out cruel punishments and even worse beatings. They would make mention of a child not feeling well to the headmistress but assure her that they would care for them giving them freedom to continue "re-educating" the child on who runs the orphanage. In the six years that Levina had lived at the orphanage she had only seen two kids try and take the throne from the twins, they were quickly reminded otherwise.
Levina had discovered on her seventh birthday what her semblance was, Delco quickly became extremely close to her as he began to ask favors of her that required her to use her semblance. On the day that a rich couple had come in wanting to adopt multiple children Delco asked her one thing, "Lev I need you to do one thing while the rich people are here." Lev hung on every word as she considered him her big brother as he treated her the best out of everyone in the orphanage. "I need you to gather up all of the young kids into one room and use your semblance, trust me OK when I meet the couple I'll lead them to the room and hopefully you and a few other can be adopted too." Levina nodded as she went to work gathering all of the young kids while they still had time before the couple arrived, when she had all of the young kids in one room she explained that they would surprise the couple when they would walk into the room.
They waited for what seemed like hours as the sun which was high in the sky when they first entered the room was now closed to setting, feeling anxious Levina opened the door and peeked out. The hallway was exceedingly quite as she stepped out walking to the main room, she saw Eve, Jacob, Martin, Agatha, and Delco with their bags packed waiting around in the main hall. Levina with a questioning look approached the oldest kids, Delco saw her and with a big smile proclaimed' "guess what Lev, we got adopted!" feeling even more confused she asked, "but what happened to bringing the couple to the room to meet the rest of us so we could be adopted?" Delco's smile faded, "if we had done that our chances of leaving this place would have been shot, but since you wanted to help out so much I figured that we could use you to help us out." Levina realized exactly what Delco had done, by gathering all of the younger kids into one room and using her semblance to soundproof that same room it would give the older kids the chance they needed to convince the couple to adopt them as there seemed to be no other kids present. Feeling betrayed for the first time caused Levina eyes to tear up while her body filled with rage, she remembered all the times that Delco stood up for her against the older kids and how he made sure she got a portion of food during the holidays when the headmistress was feeling generous enough to order large amounts of food.
All of these memories reeled inside of her head when Delco made a face she had never seen before. Anger, pure anger directed at her, he took one step forward and all of the rage Levina felt turned to fear at that one motion. Delco reared up and shoved her across the room throwing her back into the hall she came from, as she laid on the ground she heard Jacob laugh, "Man Delco you didn't have to be so rough." Delco was a completely different person, "sorry I've just been wanting to do that for the longest time, she can be so annoying with how she follows you around." Levina face burned with embarrassment as she got up and ran in the opposite direction hiding her face from the younger kids as they slowly exited the room. She ran to the cleaning closet at the end of the hall, a place she would go whenever the older kids would pick on her before Delco stepped in. She locked the door proving herself against it as she began to cry, using her semblance she muted the noise so no one could disturb her.
After what seemed like an hour there was a light knock on the door as a male voice tried to speak through the door frame, "excuse me miss are you alright in there?" Levina wiped her face as she stared at the door, the man knocked again, "I saw you run in there crying but I did not want to be a bother, it seemed like you calmed down enough." Levina stood up and unlocked the door, slowly peeking out she saw a tall man in his early twenties. He had light brown hair, hazel green eyes, around 6'4" weighing close to 220lbs. He had a more lean build, his blue pin stripped suit made him look professional but the way he stood and carried himself said otherwise.
He crouched down as he held out his hand, "my name is Maverick, what's yours." Reluctantly Levina shook his hand, "Levina" he smiled widely, "that is a very pretty name, hey what would you say if I adopted you? I saw what that other kid did, which I didn't think that was fair. So what do you say?" Staring at Maverick Levina thought about what he was proposing, on one hand she could be adopted and taken away from the orphanage, on the other that would leave the younger kids without anyone to look out for them. Sensing her hesitation Maverick reassured, "I know some people that have been wanting to have kids, while I can't guarantee that everyone would be adopted I can say for sure that a good number of them would have a good home and loving family." She let his words sink in as he continued to smile at her, making up her mind Levina answered, "I would like to be adopted." Giving her a surprise hug made Levina freeze up as Maverick exclaimed, "oh I have always wanted a daughter, don't worry I have a big house with lots of toys." Levina giggled at his over the top way he was waving his arms to try and show the size of his house and the amount of toys he had. She went to the bedroom where everyone was gathered, when they saw her walk in many of the younger kids went up to her giving as big of a hug as they could. She told them what Delco had done and how she was being adopted, many of the kids seemed down hearing how Levina had been adopted. She patted each of them on the head as she explained that more people would show up to adopt them so until then they had to be on their best behavior. With the last of her bags packed she gave each of the young kids a hug as she walked out the main doors with Maverick.
A year had passed as she lived comfortably with Maverick, she would send letters back to the orphanage asking how the others were doing and if anyone else had been adopted. The exchange of letters happened for a few months before she stopped getting replies back, a little worried she asked, "Maverick would it be OK if we went to visit the orphanage, they stopped writing back and I'm a little worried about them." Maverick gave her a sad look, "I'm sorry Lev I didn't know how to tell you, the orphanage is no longer there." Panic began to set in, "what do you mean it's not there anymore?" Maverick rubbed Levina's shoulders trying to calm her down, "the white fang attacked the orphanage the other night, and reports are stating that no one made it out of the building. Now I don't know why they attacked the place as they usually go for Schnee owned property. I'm sorry Lev I don't know what I can do to help." Levina questioned, "what is the white fang?" breathing a heavy sigh Maverick explained, "the white fang I'd a group of terrorist primarily made up of Faunus, they usually attack Schnee owned companies for whatever reason. They are not known for taking prisoners, but attacking an orphanage is a new one. They are very dangerous people who would not hesitate to kill an innocent child if it meant furthering their goals." Levina began crying as Maverick wrapped his arms around her trying some way to bring her comfort.
After a few minutes Levina calmed down enough to ask, "Isn't the police trying to stop them?" Maverick separated a little gently rubbing her shoulders, "they can only do some much, but the law limits what they can do. But there is a group that does try and stop the white fang whenever it can. They are called the Jaegers, I am one of the leading members. We hunt the white fang in ways the police cannot, while they do support what we do, they cannot officially allow us to run around. So if we ever run it to them during any of our missions we have to avoid any prolonged battles, while they also have to attempt to capture us so to not appear suspicious to the white fang." With a determined look Levina announced, "I wanna help." Maverick gave her a concerned look, "I'm sorry but it's too dangerous for you to be involved, I already messed up by telling you about the group." Levina stood her ground, "no I wanna help, my friends died because of this white fang group. I wanna do anything that I can." Breathing a sigh of regret Maverick relented, "OK fine but I need to train you on how to fight if you are going to be helping me." Levina nodded her head with a determination to help stop the white fang for her friends.
It took only four years of training before Levina was ready for her first mission with Maverick and his team. Keeping her silvery grey hair in a short bob made it easier to keep hidden as she was dressed in all black. Standing in the bullhead Maverick laid out the plan, "alright we have intelligence that the white fang will be disrupting the Faunus civil right rally, so Ray I need you to blend into the crowd and be our eyes. Dennis I want you on the police side making sure that things run smoothly. Rosa you are the eyes in the sky, keep track of our movement and anyone that Ray marks. Levina the tree line here is where you will be, Ray will mark the squad leader of the white fang at the rally, I need you to take the shot when you see it. I know you can do this, it's what we trained you for, and you're ready." Levina nodded gripping her sniper rifle, Rosa passed her an odd looking bullet, "here, this is an anti-aura bullet. It should bypass any aura the leader has, now we don't know how effective it will be so I suggest you keep an extra shot just in case." Taking the bullet she loaded it into the clip before loading the gun as the bullhead slowed just outside the area they were supposed to split up at.
Departing from the ship Levina took a look at the group, Ray was dressed in street clothes with a cap that hid his messy blonde hair, he stood at average height with an average looking build making him perfect for blending in. Dennis was dressed in riot gear similar to the ones that the cops were currently wearing, he was slightly larger than most adults being half a head taller and having more bulk to his frame. Maverick was also dressed in street clothes, he had deep brown hair that was pushed back by a bandana, a pair of sunglasses hid the purple eyes he had, he was around six feet tall with a more lean build. Everyone did a last check of equipment before heading to their positions. Finding the tree with the best vantage point took some time since she needed to see the entire rally and stay hidden well enough. When she got into position she readied her rifle activating the advanced version of her semblance rendering her completely invisible.
She surveyed the area until she spotted Rey and Dennis but could not find Maverick, checking her watch she remembered that the attack would happen a little past ten forty five which gave her a few minutes to track Rey's movement. She spotted him looking intently at the front of the crowd when it suddenly became quite as a young Faunus stood up on a make shift podium, he was maybe in his late teen early twenties. What she noticed was the spot of bright of neon yellow on his side, her radio came alive, "Levina yellow is the target when you have your shot take it and head back to the rendezvous point." She lined up her sights taking into consideration the wind, his movement, her movement, and the people around him.
When he lowered his arms puffing out his chest she pulled the trigger, unfortunately for them both one of the people closest to him bumped him making him partially lose his balance. The shot went through his neck piercing his artery and windpipe, his lungs filled with his own blood as he fell from his podium. Jumping down from the tree Levina started to run back when she heard screams and then gunfire, turning around to look back she saw the rally turn into a bloodbath as the cops unloaded on the Faunus as they tried to rush them to exact revenge. Gripping her rifle she called over the radio, "Maverick what happened? I thought you said everything would be fine?" she heard nothing repeating her question multiple times until the radio burst with static then a choppy message, "Fal…..ck…..ing…wen….ung….Lev...to…point…." the radio cut out after that. Watching the scene before her became too much before she turned around running back to the meeting point.
When she got there Maverick was wrapping Rey's mid-section and Dennis was flagging down Rosa, when Levina entered the small field Dennis noticed her first and began yelling, "What the hell was that! I thought you were supposed to hit the marked target not some innocent civilian!" shrinking back Levina didn't know what to say. Rey spoke up defending her, "shut up Dennis the mission was that she take out the person that I marked, it was my fault that one of the white fang members made me mark the wrong person. The radios were not working so I could not tell her to stop." Maverick spoke up as well, "Dennis, Rey made a mistake, Levina did nothing wrong so if I hear you bring this up again you won't live to see the next day." Dennis still fuming kept his mouth shut as Rosa lowered the bullhead for everyone to get in.
Four more years passed as Levina went on missions with Maverick and his team, each mission would have her snipe a different Faunus. And each time it was a Faunus dressed in street clothes, and each time she would question why was it that if they were supposed to be hunting the white fang that they were always at some sort of Faunus rights rally. Levina was at home looking at herself deeply in the mirror, she trusted what Maverick was saying but she just couldn't shake the feeling that he was not telling her everything. Giving herself a look over she gave a sigh trying to stand as straight as she could, despite the years and puberty she was only 4'6" weighing only 110lbs causing her to have a very tiny frame. Grabbing her brush she tried unknotting the tangles in her silvery grey hair, it was long enough to end at her mid back making it a major hassle tying it up and letting it down every mission. Thinking back she wondered where she would be if Maverick had never adopted her, her hazel eyes grew dark remembering how her orphanage was attacked by the white fang.
Clenching her fist she shook the doubts out of her head, Maverick saved her and was giving her a chance to avenge her friends whatever he was holding back was probably something he was saving for a later date. Grabbing her mission clothes and her two bandolier belts, the missions that they were currently going on were getting more and more dangerous as the last time they assaulted a Faunus run factory that was a front for the white fang to operate out of. Holstering her two guns she grabbed her small supplies bag, it had a small first aid-kit, an extra shirt that could be used as makeshift bandages, and a spare radio as she always ended up with the broken one. She never told anyone about her radio as Dennis would always pitch a fit whenever she told him about something she had that was broken, so to not have to hear him screaming she would simply replace the item with one from the spare pile that she made she was working.
Exiting her room she entered the hall walking toward the large metal door that lead to the rest of the building, ever since her first mission with Maverick they had to move around constantly to keep up with the white fang but The Jaegers had multiple bases spread out around Remnant. This particular one just so happened to be near where the next mission was to be taking place, near one of the largest dams in Vacuo. The area was a massive scrubland with desserts scattered about the terrain, the base was built into one of the mountains that over looked the dam. The team that was in the base before them had restock most of the supplies leaving them plenty of ammunition and food rations, while she did not know the exact number of other teams nor how many bases there actually was, she was certain that the Jaegers were a medium size organization that worked in cells rotating out of each base after a successful mission.
As she reached the planning room Maverick greeted her, "morning, I was just going over the routes one last time." A large schematic was displayed on the holo screen, the dam had multiple levels with even more corridors then Levina could count. As she looked at the screen she saw the four different routes that Maverick and his team were going to take, Levina was to wait in the mountains for the target to approach the dam by car before taking them out. To her understanding the mission was to stop a group of humans from supplying the white fang with the new Atlas tech that just rolled out of the factory, doing so would put a big dent in the defensive capabilities of the white fang making it easier to launch an all-out assault on their main base when they locate it. As the rest of the team entered the room Maverick laid the individual schematics on the table, each had an area that they would be in so they had that layout. Levina a little frustrated that she would not be entering the building as well bit her tongue, when everyone including Levina had memorized the map Maverick grabbed his bowie knife that doubled as a rope dart and sheathed it behind his back.
Sitting against the rock in the heat was almost unbearable as Levina waited for the target to show up. She still did not understand why Maverick and the team had to go into the dam if the target was going to be bringing them with his convoy, it would be much easier to ambush them on top of the dam while she covered them. But she did not question Maverick's plans, instead she silently complained about how long of a shower she was going to need to wash away all the sweat she was slowly marinating in. As she tried to check in her radio began to crackle as usual, switching to the spare she had she began searching for the correct frequency.
After cycling through several different channels she found the one that Maverick and the rest of the team were on, as she was about to check in she heard them talking, "Maverick are you sure you cut her radio connection to us?" "Yes I am sure, she will most likely think that it's either faulty equipment or the intense heat messing with the radio." Looking at the radio with concern she kept quiet as they continued talking, "don't worry she will stick to the plan, that dam Faunus sympathizer is as good as dead." "I still can't believe after all these years she still trusts you after everything you made her do." "Yeah I mean she has to be retarded to not notice." "Maybe she is but as long as she is useful to us I have to play the part of the loving guardian and you three the role of the loving family." "Shut up the target should be getting here soon, when Levina takes the shot I want those charges to go off. Those damn Faunus think they can just claim a piece of human land to build their filth on, but it won't matter when the flood washes the land clean of their filth."
Levina stared at her radio not moving an inch, she kept checking to see if she tuned into a different channel and heard a different set of people. Loosely gripping her radio Levina wiped away the tears that were slowly forming in her eyes, all of the missions that she had been on were not helping but hurting a lot of people. Looking at the path the water was taking from exiting the dam she saw a medium sized town that was most likely full of people, or rather as Maverick called them 'filthy Faunus'. Levina lifted her rifle gazing out into the distance until she saw what she was looking for, judging by the distance and how fast the convoy was moving she had maybe twenty or thirty minutes at most to try and hinder Maverick's plan. Looking through her small bag she made a list of what she had, "ok so not including the ammo in my belts I have four fire dust crystals, four ice dust crystals, four lightning dust crystals, two smoke bombs, an extra shirt, some length of thread, and some pain killers."
Looking at her two bandolier belts she counted on one belt eighteen rounds of dust ammo, on the second belt she had eighteen normal .45 ACP rounds. On her back was her two knifes she called Frost Fangs due to their light blue coloration, below them were two extra clips for her rifles original pistol form. Taking a deep breath she took off toward the dam activating the first version of her semblance she was able to slip past the guards patrolling the outside gate jumping over the twelve foot gate with little problems. Entering the dam she remembered the schematics that Maverick laid out taking the corridors to the first destination, Dennis would be the first that she would run into. As she neared the room she saw the bodies of the workers that most likely were unfortunate enough to see Dennis, a broken neck told her that Dennis did not want to draw to much attention to himself.
Grabbing one of the workers radios she lowered the volume to a near mute as she peeked into the room, Dennis was setting timers on the last set of charges present in the room. Doing a quick scan Levina counted at least twenty C4 charges, activating her advanced version she slowly crept into the room taking out a lightning dust crystal as she cautiously watched Dennis's every move. When she got close enough Dennis whirled around feeling eyes watching him, taking out his kukri he looked intently at the door watching ready for anything. After a moment of nothing he took a deep breath only to find something solid suddenly enter his mouth, Levina appeared in front of him throwing an uppercut slamming his jaw shut cracking whatever it was that was in his mouth. Everything went black for Dennis as his body fell to the ground convulsing and foaming at the mouth, Levina went to work removing the timers from the C4 and after a few minutes the last of the bombs were safely disarmed.
The rooms that Rey and Rosa were in had a similar set up, and each was dealt with the same way, as Levina walked to the final location she had to hug the wall as she was running out of aura since keeping herself invisible while moving was extremely taxing. The main room that Maverick was in was the dams flood gates control and other important systems needed to keep the dam running. Knowing that she could not use her semblance to the same degree she hoped that her first version would be enough to sneak up on Maverick, as she entered the doorway Maverick turned around looking right at her, "you know how hard it is to train child soldiers when they have a family, orphans on the other hand have no one that would miss them if they were to die in the field." Levina squaring her shoulders asked, "Why?" "The Jaegers are finishing what was started years ago. We are going to win the war between the Humans and the Faunus, and with your semblance we were making great strides at dissolving any kind of peace those filthy animal tried to present. They knew we were going to win so they proposed a temporary ceasefire, one that we wish to dissolve so we can put an end to that mutation of a race." The man that stood before her was not the same man that showed her compassion on the day Delco betrayed her, no this was something else.
Maverick smiled and the internal struggle Levina was having, "at first I could not think of a way to bring you over to our side until I saw one of the letters from your orphanage, then it hit me, what better motivation than revenge." Levina sank to her knees when she heard that last part, "you blew up the orphanage?" "Not just me, Dennis, Rey and Rosa participated as well. I have to say for being small children they sure could scream as they were burning." Levina stopped all thought processes as she flew into a rage charging Maverick raising her fists. Maverick gave a crooked smile back handing Levina when she was in arms reach, as she flew off to the side a glint caught his eye as how suddenly saw two red dust crystals slowly floating toward him. Levina fired her gun igniting the fire dust in a violent explosion that threw Maverick back into the controls. Quickly getting up Levina began unloading her guns, each shot connected as Maverick tried to collect himself from the explosion and the current rain of bullets. Pulling out his knife and a smoke grenade Maverick pulled the pin tossing it in the air and with his knife sent the blade out piercing the metal container quickly filling the area, with her sight limited Levina dove behind the nearest console for cover.
Slowing her breathing to a manageable level Levina listened for any sound that might indicate where Maverick might strike from, all she heard was rapid clicking, the alarms started blaring as the inner com began to relay its emergency message, "Caution, Caution, unstable levels of water present within the flood gate. Caution, Caution, unstable levels of water present within the flood gate. Will the nearest technician please follow protocol to open the secondary gates to relieve pressure. Repeat will the nearest technician please follow protocol to open the secondary gates to relieve pressure." Levina realized what the clicking sound was, Maverick was going to have the flood gates burst destroying the city located at the bottom of the river the dam created. Leaping over the counter Levina made a bee line for the controls, Maverick having finished waited for Levina to appear through the smoke. A red dust crystal flew at his face from the smoke, covering his face he shielded himself from the resulting blast knocking him back several feet.
Levina running out of the smoke that was slowly dissipating reached the console and tried to somehow reverse what maverick had done. Quickly getting up Maverick leapt forward grabbing Levina by the back of the head and slammed it into the console several time as she tried to resist each time. As blood began to run from her nose he screamed, "Who do you think trained you how to fight! Without me you would be nothing but a useless street urc" he never finish his sentence as Levina shoved her last lightning dust crystal into his mouth, throwing her last punch Maverick fell back convulsing. With him temporarily out of the way Levina followed the steps on the console to open up the secondary gates relieving the pressure the main gates were currently cracking under. Breathing a sigh she let herself relax, "Maverick as I was getting here I grabbed one of the workers radios and told anyone that was listening everything, you're finished." As she went to take another breath she felt a slight pressure on her back before breathing became incredibly difficult, it felt like liquid was filling her lungs with every breath she tried to take. Slowly turning around she saw Maverick standing right behind her with his hand pressed against her back with blood starting to coat it. Pulling his knife out Maverick spat, "don't get cocky brat, I'm not finished until I say I am." Grabbing her by the neck Maverick lifted her up taking her to the window that overlooked the rushing water passing through the flood gates. Bringing her in close he whispered, "When you see the other brats tell'em I said hello." He threw her through the window into the rushing water below as the private security burst into the room, as she fell into the water everything grew cold and dark.
Levina was aware of the darkness she was surrounded in, it was no longer cold but she could still not move her body. The daunting silence was slowly being lifted as sound could be heard but was extremely muffled. As her hearing was getting progressively better she was starting to feel warmer, she could even see a dim light in the distant. Levina didn't know how much time had passed since her fall into the water, she didn't even know if what she was feeling was even real as the dim light grew brighter and brighter. As her senses were returning to her Levina could hear humming nearby, the next thing she felt was a sharp pain in her back. Opening her eyes she slowly took in her surroundings, the room she was in was small with little decoration.
As she tried to sit up pain shot up her spine making her cry out in pain, there were a pair of hands on her shoulders in seconds, the sudden new presence scared Levina making her jump back painfully. The pair of hand belongs to an elderly woman, the medium sized cat ears made it obvious that she was a Faunus. As Levina tried to catch her breath the old woman tried to calm Levina down, "easy there child you wouldn't want to open your stitches." Looking around the room Levina gripped her side trying to locate any of her gear. The old woman in the most calming voice assured Levina, "the only people here are me and my husband, there was the doctor that fixed you up but he already left. Judging from the types of weapons you had on you when we found you I take it you came from the dam?" not entirely trusting the woman Levina tried to activate her semblance, when she knew she was invisible she shuffled out of bed and out of the room.
The woman sat there dumbfounded as the small girl that was just lying in bed had now turned invisible. Levina searched the whole house but did not find any of her gear, the old woman moved into the living room and sat down in her reclining chair. Calling out into the house the old woman laughed, "If you are still in the house and are looking door your things I have then here." A few seconds passed as Levina slowly appeared in front of the old woman, opening a compartment in the chair she was sitting in the old woman pullout out the mission clothes then the rest of the gear handing them gently to Levina. When she had all of her things Levina turned to leave when she noticed the picture sitting on the shelf, it was of a young Faunus boy smiling at the camera holding a wooden sword. The old woman spoke, "that's my boy many years back, he always had the dream of being a hunter helping people where ever he went." Levina stared at the photo trying to remember why he seemed so familiar, "where is he?" the woman looked down with a sad expression, "me and my husband had great difficulty having children so when Forest was born were the happiest couple ever. As he grew up he got more and more into Faunus rights, he would always go to the rallies and we would always tell him to be careful. There was one rally where the cops had shown up in full assault gear anticipating a violent outcome. He got up on a podium to start a speech he prepared when he was shot, it wasn't even one that killed him instantly, he died checking on his own blood." There was a long silence between the two when the old woman snapped out of the trace she was in while remembering that day.
When she looked up she saw Levina covering her face as she dropped her gear, "I'm sorry." The old woman sat confused as Levina dropped to her knees crying, concerned the old woman got up to comfort her when Levina burst into tears, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the old woman became flustered as she did not know why the girl was crying, as she tried to ask what the girl meant her husband walked in, "sweetie how is that girl we pulled out of the river doing?" hearing someone crying in the house the old man rushed to the living room where he saw his wife holding the young girl as she was crying.
Levina continued apologizing until the wife finally understood why she was crying, "It was you wasn't it." The old man slowly stepped closed, "why, why did you do it?" "I didn't know, Maverick told me he was a part of the white fang that killed all of my friends." The old woman rubbed Levina's shoulders, "who is Maverick?" guiding Levina to one of the recliners the old man dragged two cushioned chairs near as they sat to listen. Having calmed down enough Levina told the couple ever thing from the beginning, not leaving out a detail as she finished her story. The old couple sat processing everything as Levina wiped her face, the old woman spoke first, "that is quite the life, everyone that entered your life was just out to use you." The old man spoke next, "I cannot forgive what you have done, but I cannot just turn my back on a girl that is trying to fix her mistakes either, Forest would never forgive me." Levina stood up, "if you want to turn me in that's OK, it's what I deserve."
The old woman gave Levina a playful smirk, "well seeing as how you did not know what you were doing was wrong since that is how you were raised, and you have a history of being betrayed I would say that instead of jail actually going to school would be the better alternative." The old man gave his wife a look of pure confusion, "how does any of that make sense?" "It doesn't have to." She smiled at him brightly as he just huffed, "fine OK so she needs to go to school, how do you plan on enrolling her. As she said earlier she is an orphan so clearly she has no records that we can use to try and attempt," Levina interrupted, "thank you for trying to help me even after what I did to you both, but I have something that I have to do." The husband raised an eyebrow at Levina, "do you now? And does that thing have anything to do with those Jaeger people?" Levina tried to scoot past them, "I'm sorry but I do not want to involve you any further, you are both very nice and wish you the best but I have to go." Almost getting completely past them the old woman flicked her wrist tapping the wound on Levina's back dropping her to the ground, "you can't go anywhere in your current condition, now we are getting you back to bed where you will concentrate on healing is that clear little missy?" gripping her side Levina was a little shocked by the old woman's tone, she only nodded in agreement as the couple helped Levina back into bed.
With Levina fast asleep the couple sat at the kitchen table, the old man gave his wife a serious look, "what we're you thinking Evergreen? That girl," "is a child, a child that was raised to be a weapon not a child. She had no one to tell her right from wrong, the guy that adopted her didn't want a daughter he wanted a weapon." "So you're saying we forgive her for what she has done?" Evergreen looked down at her fidgeting hand for a long while, "I will, she did not know any better and judging from how she broke down earlier I do not think she would ever do it again. If she was with a normal parent I think she would have led a normal life, but she was not so lucky. Oxford we have a chance to save this girl, or are you just going to let her go after that group and most likely be killed having no one?" Oxford stared into Evergreen's eyes, sighing in defeat, "that's not fair Evergreen, you know I can't say no to those eyes." Giving a big smile she exclaimed, "Even after all these years I still got it." Cracking up Oxford leaned across the table and gave Evergreen a kiss on the forehead, "so do you actually have A plan on helping this poor girl?" blushing slightly Evergreen answered, "of course, after she heals we go into town and register her as our foster child." Oxford gave her a loving look, "only you would have come up with a plan this crazy."
Levina was on a ship headed for beacon, as she looked out the window she remembered the last few months when she lived with the Vulpes couple. Evergreen was the most eccentric person she had ever met and Oxford was a strong individual that held his ground, except when it came to humoring Evergreens crazy requests. They registered Levina as their foster child giving her a complete set of papers signifying her as their child. Each day Levina did all she could to try and make up for her past and eventually Oxford relented and forgave Levina. After that they enrolled her in beacon in the hopes that she would make friends and learn to use her semblance for herself to help others. Looking around the ship Levina spotted a girl dressed in all white, the symbol on the girl's jacket seemed familiar until the girl turn revealing a scar on the left eye. Weiss Schnee stood by herself, the air around her made her unapproachable which suit Levina just fine as she did not wish to become acquaintances with her much less friends. As she continues to scan the ship she saw a girl leaning against the back wall by herself, her full attention was on the book she had in her hands, what caught Levina's eye about this girl was the slight twitch her bow would make every time someone got near her. Really looking at the girl Levina could tell she was a Faunus with the way her eyes were shaped, the most prominent feature that would immediately announce that she was a Faunus was most likely hidden under that black bow. The ship began to descend as it reached the dock to Beacon, taking a deep breath Levina grabbed her things as the ship lowered the ramp and the other students departed. Walking of the ship she saw the large central building in the direct center of the campus, the walkway that the ship had docked on led directly to that building. Giving a silent thanks to Oxford and Evergreen for all of their help she made her way into the school.
