Ruby was incredibly happy the next few and Yang weren't able to do lovey duvy things together without making it look like they were dating ,but they were planning on going somewhere in town together in a few days. Ruby didn't care as long as Yang was there to fill the emptiness in Ruby's heart and keep her darker side under control and Jeremy also didn't bother them again.
Team RWBY along with team JNPR were in professor ports class .
"now today students we will be going on a field class to the forest of forever fall. we may have discovered a new species of grimm." said professor port.
whispering was heard through out the class when they heard that they would be discovering a new grimm Yang clenched her fists in excitement hoping that it was a giant grimm but deep down she knew that if there was a grimm like that the school wouldn't send students to find it . Ruby smiled at how excited Yang was getting. Weiss and Blake continued to listen to port .
"Yesterday , miss goodwitch's class went into the forest to collect sap from the trees for the cafeteria when a student discovered 4 beowolf's ,killed. normally nobody would care it is our job to slay the grimm after all , the injuries that were on the beast weren't from a weapon...but by hand...a human if you have a sensitive stomach please cover your ears but ...the beasts were found with bite marks on them, one of them had their heart ripped out and chewed on .one had their skull crushed to paste . another had a huge hole in its stomach with its spine a few feet from the body, and the last one had its neck broken with its chest missing a long with many of its organs, and the organs that remained had bite marks on them."
Weiss was trying not to puke with Blake helping her . Yang grew pale , Pyrrha covered her mouth, Ren and Nora didn't say anything, Jaune nearly threw up. and Ruby sat there a little nervous . There was a wave of whisperes among the other students some looked worried
"theres no way they can find out its me,if they do ill just say that i was taking a walk i didn't have my weapon and they attacked me,and if they asked about the bites ill say that it was just animals looking for food." Ruby satisfied with her answer looked ahead in shock.
the team of 4 girls soon found their eyes widened when they saw jeremy in his usual suit and sunglasses on walking into the class.
"and to accompany us today is mister..." professor port was drawing a blank on trying to remember Jeremy's name.
"mr.j" finished Jeremy coldly.
Team JNPR were sitting a row infront of team RWBY .
"that guy...gives off a strange feeling." said Pyrrha to her friends.
"yeah its almost as if hes..." Jaun trailed off .
"part grimm." said Ren finishing off Jaunes sentence .
"believe us we know ." said Weiss and Blake in unison. even with the sunglasses on Ruby could feel his cold eyes starting right at her.
The class was lost in a wave of talking but was silent when professor port cleared his throat.
"mr.J will be with us while we are in the forest if you notice any unusual clues to this new grimm or see the grimm itself come inform me or him. Now everyone ill give you 20 minutes to head to the lockers and gear up we will meet in front of the school statue ,and you know the drill anyone who isn't there without a valid reason will count as skipping ."
the class got up and proceeded to the locker room.
*locker room*
"well lets hope that creep will stay as far away from us as possible." Said Weiss .her words full of putting in her combination for her locker.
"I'm sure Ozpin had a chat with him." reassured Blake.
"he better have ."Said Yang sternly.
Ruby grabbed crescent rose and but it in its holster .she also took 3 magazines of high calibur dust explosive round and put it in her ammunition pouch. she could still feel Jeremy's cold eyes staring at her but she just shrugged it rest of team RWBY got geared up and then made there way to proffessor port.
* in front of the school statue*
team RWBY made it to the school statue and saw team JNPR along with other students in their the students were wearing their regular combat gear.
"well now that we are all here we shall proceed into the . mr.J is already there waiting for us." said Port.
*forest of forever fall*
the group arrived at the scene quickly with port leading them. there were some scientist huntsmen inspecting the bodies along with Jeremy.
when the students saw the bodies some of them grew a little pale . However most of them didn't seem to have much of a reaction since they have seen dead grimm plenty of times and most of them have the weapons and the skills to leave grimm in pieces.
"there were patches of blood that start here and lead all the way to the nearby river which leads us to believe that the grimm may be a aquatic and land species . Those of you who have strong stomachs go help inspect the bodies with the science huntsmen. Those who look as if your going to pass out look around for any clues or if you can find a grimm that is able to do this, and those who are capable fighters check the river to see if the aquatic grimm theory is correct and if it is and you are attacked don't be afraid to kill it." finished professor Port. All the the students then scattered looking for clues.
team CFVY started to search around the trees. Cardins team and some others helped with the bodies. while team RWBY and JNPR went to check out the river.
"soo...if there is this...aquatic grimm uhhn how easy do you think it would be to kill it?' asked Jaune nervously shaking.
"relax Jaune there is 8 of us well 7 depending if you pass out or not , im sure we will be fine." said Nora cheerfully. Although it didn't make Jaune feel any better. Pyrrha giggled a little. Yang reassured him that if it does show up that she would punch it to paste.
Weiss and Blake were holding hands. Ruby saw and wanted to hold Yang's hand but knew she couldn't.
"soon." she reassured herself in her head. Ruby wasn't sure but since professor Port's class she thought that Blake was starring at her when she wasn't looking. But Ruby just ignored it. Until she heard Weiss whisper something to Blake.
"what's wrong you have been looking at Ruby for a while now ,even in Port's class?" asked Weiss very quietly.
"its nothing , ill tell you later." said Blake.
Ruby then stopped listening in on the two.
"does she know?I didn't really give her a good answer when i told her why I smelled like blood the other day." thought thoughts were interrupted by Yang.
"well here we are...anybody see a giant aquatic grimm monster cause I don't?" announced Yang in disappointment with a frown on her face.
Jaune felt relieved and suggested to go back , but Pyrrha insisted on staying a little bit longer. the two teams were then startled by the sound of someone close by . They all went into a defensive position with their weapons. Even Jaune although shaking.
" I sense a negative presence." said Ren, then Jeremy cam into view .
"god dammit this asshole again." muttered Yang. and everybody else lowered there guard.
"uh , hey." said Jaune.
Jeremy ignored him."did you kids find anything?" he asked coldly. there was a awkward pause then Pyrrha was the only one who gave him an answer.
" No but were still looking around." she said.
"oh I wouldn't look to far . Im sure the monster is...closer then you think." Jeremy said the last part very ominously.
Ruby felt her heart stop from shock for a second. then a growl was heard in back of the group and a ursa sprung out from a cave nearby . the two teams were ready to fight it but suddenly a shot went off and the monsters head exploded.
Jeremy was holding out a very large dust pistol. Nora looked at the weapon in awe.
"wow! ive never seen a pistol do that much damage ,that was awesome!"
Ruby then took her gaze off the headless grimm and on Jeremy's pistol ,and her eyes went wide with shock.
' ive seen that pistol before ...' thought Ruby, along with Flash backs to the day her family was killed in front of her.
