So, I know I've been pretty consistent with uploading chapters, but I might start slowing down. Schools starting up again soon, and I have exams and accommodating tasks to finish. So, I don't know how much it will change, and I'm also hoping to start making chapters longer so they may take longer to write. Anyways, back to the story!

Blake was surprised when she got to her Dorm. The Dorms weren't really Dorms like a collage or university, or a usual bunker for a military base, it was a small house. Blake looked at the sheet of paper as she compared it to the house numbers. She looked at her sheet again, as she stood outside the last house. The house numbers matched up. She walked up to the door and opened it. Walking in.
The walls of the house were plain and white. She saw six doors. And on three of the doors was a sign. The sign said the names of the people in that room. She read over the doors, JNPR, SSSN, and RWBY. She read the names under RWBY, and was right as she saw her name written on the door. She opened the door to the room and left it open. She walked over to the bunk beds and placed her bag on the bottom bunk of the left bed. She walked over to the chest at the end of the bed and saw it divided into two spaces. She unpacked her bag and folded the little amount of clothing she had to fit into the space. She placed her bag back on her bed, and nodded as she walked out of her room, closing the door. She opened the three doors that weren't labeled and saw they were bathrooms. Up for the grab for the three teams. She read over the names of each member of each team and noticed that her group was all girls, JNPR was co-ed, and SSSN was all boys. She walked back into her room and grabbed a piece of paper off the notepad on the desk in their room and wrote 'Team RWBY' on it. She walked out of the hallway with all the rooms and walked into the living spaces. She walked over to the kitchen and opened each drawer until she found the tape. She ripped off a piece and put the tape back and walked back into the hallway and tapped her sign to the biggest bathroom.
She walked around the house a bit more until she found the back door. The back porch overlooked an ocean, she looked around more and saw the lounge chairs, she smiled. A perfect place to read. She walked back into the house and to her room. She grabbed her book and walked out again. But, was surprised when she nearly fell from tripping. She glared at the bag lying in the middle of the hallway. She looked around. No one was there, at least that could be seen.
"You should really take off that bow." She could hear the whisper. She obviously wasn't meant to hear it, it was so low and quiet. She turned around completely and walked into the room with SSSN printed on it. And there he was. The monkey Faunus that wouldn't leave her alone. "Hey Kitten." He said. She felt the need to hiss. But didn't, instead she just glared.
"Don't call me that." She said sternly. He shrugged.
"Fine. Then I'll call you-" He was about to suggest another name but was cut off.
"Blake. You'll call me Blake." He shrugged.
"Fine. Blake." She turned from him and walked back onto the back porch she found. She dragged the lounge chair until it was lying in the sun and laid down on it. Opening her book and reading silently.
It was quite here. No noise. No cars. No one screaming at her. It was... Peaceful. Something she hadn't been able to enjoy in a while. Sadly, the sun was being hidden by the clouds now. But, it was still quite, until, that was interrupted by audible squeals of glee. She sighed as she closed her book after placing her bookmark, and walked back into the house. Making sure to place the lounge chair back where she found it. She walked into her room and noticed three girls in there. One was blond, with purple eyes, another had long white hair up in a ponytail and cold blue eyes, and a scar hidden by bangs over her left eye, she also seemed a bit familiar, and the third girl was younger then them, her hair was black and faded to red, and her eyes were silver.
"I'm sorry-" Blake was finally noticed as the seemingly younger girl apologized to the girl with white hair.
"Hmph." The white hair girl crossed her arms. The young one seemed discouraged. Blake just slipped by them and laid down on the bed she had placed her stuff on. Opening up her book once again and resumed reading.
"Hi! I'm Yang Xiao Long! You must be Blake Belladonna?" Blake nodded at the blonde one, Yang. Yang pointed at the younger one. "That's my little sister. Ruby Rose." Blake nodded again.
"And I'm Weiss Schnee." The white haired one said. That's what it was. During Blake's run with the organization she was in, she remembered seeing members of the Schnee family. And now, here she was, sharing a room and the next few years of her life with one.
"Blake Belladonna." She repeated. When words were exchanged and arrangements made, she was free to go. She went to walk back out into the backyard, but it was raining, instead, she sat underneath the little roof that covered the porch.
She was quite comfortable with her seating until the scent of tuna entered her nose. She smelled the air again, making sure she wasn't fooling herself, then, she walked into the house. Standing in the kitchen was the monkey Faunus. A pile of sandwiches on a plate. She could smell one that was tuna, and was away from the others, placed on a napkin. Her mouth started to water. She quickly grabbed it when she thought the other Faunus wasn't looking, but, as she went to stalk away, she felt his tail wrap around her. In the Faunus world, this was an act of affection between family and friends, or flirting. She took it as the latter and bated it away from her.
"Food stays in the kitchen and dining room Blake." She grumbled but sat down at the island on a stool. Eating the sandwich and reading her book.
"Food!" She heard Ruby's and two other voices shout as they ran into the kitchen. The other voices with her was a boy, he had blond hair and dark blue eyes, and a girl with orange hair and turquoise eyes. The three had ran over to the sandwiches and quickly grabbed one each and started eating. Walking quietly behind them was Yang, a girl with red hair and green eyes, and a boy with black hair and magenta eyes, a matching streak in his hair. She watched again as Weiss, and the boy with tanned skin, blue hair and dark blue eyes, trailing behind them was a pale boy with red hair fading to black that covered his right eye, and a tattoo beside it, they were a striking green, and the one beside him was a boy with a dark complexion, sage green hair, and striking gold eyes.
Everyone else had grabbed a sandwich and were eating. Blake had finished eating and decided to leave and go sit on the porch again to read, but was stopped.
"Hey! Shouldn't we all learn each others names?" Ruby asked. Some of the others nodded.
"Alright! Everyone! Into the living room!" Yang pointed to the living room. Blake sighed as she walked over. Her group sat at one couch so she went and joined them, the monkey sat with three other boys at another couch, and the co-ed group sat together.
"Okay! We'll start!" Yang was excited. "We'll go in line from first letter down." She smiled and looked at Ruby. "You go first sis!" Ruby nodded.
(I'm going to spare you the introductions. It's really just the names. Nothing important.)
Blake sat and listened to the story that Sun was telling. It was about how he was recruited.
"-then, I jumped from the street, ignoring the cries to stop from the cops, and hung upside down from the street light." Blake didn't want to admit it, but she actually thought his story was interesting. "I was almost sent to Haven Academy, same with Nep, Scarlet and Sage, but they decided that we were better fit for Beacon-" Scarlet, the red headed boy cut off.
"Actually, they had no room and Beacon had an extra. It wasn't because we're all trouble makers." Sage, the boy who had the green hair nodded in agreement. Blake looked around more and noticed how tired everyone was. Yang got up from her spot and stretched.
"I'm headin' to bed. Night everyone!" Everyone said their goodnights, but soon, Blake noticed only her and Sun were left.
"So... Blake, when will you tell your team? You know, about your..." He gestured to her bow and she shrugged.
"When it's relevant." Sun shook his head.
"Alright. Night, see you in the morning Bella!" She was confused as he walked into his room. Why did he just call her Bella? Probably because of her last name? She wasn't fond of being called that, but, it felt right hearing Sun say it, and not hear him instead. She shook the thought out of her head and yawned. Walking into her shared room and lying down on her bed. Closing her eyes, and having her first sound sleep in months.
