Weiss did not really anticipate for this 'Vlad' character to have a Bullhead.
After the three of them had a chat on her training, Weiss returned to the dorm room and was not question by her teammates. Mostly because they were asleep. Friday afternoon had come and Weiss was ready to begin her training. Ozpin told her that every weekend, she would train with Vlad, leaving Friday afternoon and returning Sunday night.
"Vlad will supply you with bedding and other accommodations. You will be responsible for bringing your own clothes."
When Weiss spent most of her day on Friday packing, her teammates and classmates got concerned. They believed that Weiss would be going to the kingdom of Atlas. Weiss wanted to stay far away from Schnee Dust Company headquarters. Whenever Weiss was questioned as to where she was going, she would respond to telling them she was going on a training exercise. One person who was most concerned was Ruby. Bless her heart, she was so concerned. She appreciated the concern but noticed Ruby's behavior has changed over the last few months.
"Weiss, do you want me to come with you?"
"No, Ozpin said that I must do this alone."
She was right. Ozpin specified that no one other than her and Vlad would alone for her training. A part of Weiss longed for Ruby to come along. Ruby always knew how to make the best out of a rather bad situation. Weiss knew that it would not be possible. What would Ruby think of her when she found out?
'Go away! I hate you!' a mental image of Ruby screamed in her head. Would that really happen though?
"No snap out of it." She chastised herself.
After saying her goodbyes, she made her way to the airship dock. Sitting on one of the landing pads, Vlad stood in front of a Bullhead. His hood covering his head. In the light of day, his features became rather clear. He had long black, oily hair. His face was boney and looked malnourished. It looked as though he had not eaten in days. His looked like he was age thirty-three.
"Come Weiss, we have much to discuss."
Contrary to what Vlad had stated, the flight on the Bullhead was quiet. Weiss sat in the passenger's seat while Vlad sat in the pilot's. Weiss would occasionally look at Vlad, who kept his face focused on the horizon.
"How did you get a Bullhead?"
"I acquired it in remarkable circumstances."
And with that, he continued to pilot the ship. Weiss had so many questions for him. How did he know Ozpin? And what could he do for Weiss? Weiss kept her a gym bag of her clothes and assortment of toiletries on her lap. Weiss was about to ask a question when suddenly, it died on her lips. She knew where they were going.
"Mountain Glenn."
The ruined city was laid out beneath the ship as the continued to fly towards a mountain range that overlooked the city. Weiss could vaguely make out the images of Grimm roaming the streets beneath them.
"Yes, the mountain ahead is my home."
"You live in a mountain?"
"In a manner of speaking, yes."
Soon, the ruins of the long-failed city passed as the approached the mountain. A small, carved out landing pad was there for them. It was as though it had been carved from the very rock itself. The Bullhead landed as the doors opened.
"You see Weiss I have been living here for a rather long time."
Soon, he approached a massive boulder and pulled out his sword. He taped the boulder with the tip of his blade and proceeded to put his weapon back in its sheath. At first, nothing happened. But then, the boulder started to move out of the way. It soon revealed a massive doorway that must've lead into the mountain itself.
The two proceeded to walk into the cave, being surrounded by total darkness. Thankfully, Weiss had better night vision. That must've been one perk of being a vampire. Vlad was a man of total silence. For a man who said he would help her, he was rather quiet. Soon, the pair approached a pair of large, steel doors.
"It must be around here some…ah, here it is." He said, as he pulled a key out of his cloak pocket. He put the key in a rather small key hole and turned it to the left. The doors parted and the two entered a long hallway.
All Weiss had to say when she saw where Vlad lived was one word.
"Wow."
Vlad looked back at her with a smile on his face, as if he were satisfied with her reaction. Compared to the dark, damp hall of the mountains they just walked through, the main hall looked like a castle hall. A large stairwell led to an unseen second floor. Torches automatically lit themselves as if they were powered by dust. Vlad started to show Weiss around the 'castle'. Along the way, Vlad explained that he built this castle into the mountain.
"I have been in the region before Mountain Glenn was built here. I have had a rather long time to myself here."
The first room he showed was the dining hall. It had a long, fifteen foot long wooden table. It had silverware of all types alongside plates and goblets. In the middle of the table, a fruit bowl containing an assortment fruit such as apples, strawberries, pears, and many other Weiss could not name.
The next room was the dungeon. Weiss never assumed that he would have built a dungeon. There were various prison like cells. Weiss looked inside them and noticed they were filled with a various assortment of people. Male and female, Human and Faunus.
"These are criminals. They are the worst kind though. You may have dealt with petty thieves. These people are killers, rapists, arsonists, and others I will dare not mention."
"Why do you keep them down here?"
"I keep them to save them for later. I feed and care for them. But then, I invite them up for dinner."
Weiss would not want to know what that first phrase meant.
The next hour was a blur to her. The castle in the mountain was a maze of corridors and rooms Weiss could not believe existed. The bathroom looked more like a bathhouse, having a large bathtub that looked like swimming pool. Vlad assured her that was three more like this. He showed his bedroom. His bedroom was large and had a rather large ceiling that might've been twenty feet high.
"How did you fit all this in the mountain?"
"Like I said, I started to build this place a long time ago. I have built this place from the bottom up. The highest this place goes is the summit."
Then, Vlad showed Weiss to her spare room.
"You are free to use any of the rooms whenever you like. Come to me when you're ready to train."
Vlad closed the door and left Weiss to her thoughts.
The room was rather small and rustic compared to Vlad's room. It reminded her so much of the dorm room. Weiss set her bag down near her bed and simply decided to sleep. Vlad would allow her as much time as she wanted. She knew she would have to begin sometime today.
Weiss laid down on the rather comfy bed and drifted off to sleep.
A/N: Next time, Weiss's Training begins. She will also learn some of the facts about vampires as well. Before I leave you I feel like I need to address something. Tatopatato wrote a review in the reviews section the means quite a lot to me. As a novice writer, I am looking for ways to better improve my writing. It is good to know that you guys have been following, favoriting, and reviewing this story. I now this may sound cheesy, but thank you all. Everything you guys do is appreciated. Don't forget to review and…ah, you know the drill.
Have an awesome day!
