As Monty woke up in a daze, he was very confused. Thoughts ran through his head while he was trying to comprehend every thought. His thought became a whirlwind making his mind spin and his stomach sick. He wondered if he was actually at home in bed. He turned over and saw all the wonderful furniture, the window curtains, and Jerry. He sighed and got up out of bed.
"Jerry, come on." He yawned as he shook him awake.
He walks over to his dresser and grabs his clothes. He then gets that weird feeling again of being watched.
"Jerry…?"
He turns and notices Jerry has yet to wake up. He looks around the room but sees nothing.
"It's just me…" He whispered to himself, "Why can't I shake this feeling…?"
He eventually ignores it and steps into the shower.
The sound of the shower wakes up Jerry. He gets out of bed and stretches.
It has been a while since they had a real bed and shower. It's always cots and wool blankets that always made you itch. But now, actual cotton pillows with soft sheets and air condition…It felt weird to him. Strange….But, he'll take it over a night of itching.
*NURSE'S OFFICE *
As Monty and Jerry stepped foot into the nurses office, a voice welcomed.
"Oi, guys! There you are!" Eddie yelled from his bed. "Where are we? How did I get here?"
"Calm down. You just woke up from your fever and already you're having a heart attack!" Jerry chuckled.
"Look, we'll explain everything when you get out of here. All I can tell you for now is that, we got a place to stay, and we got you some clothes." Monty assured him.
"And, when do I get out of here?" Eddie asked.
"We'll come and get you. Just stay here and relax." Jerry responded.
"Well, OK. But, I want you to tell me everything…got it?"
"Yes, sir." Monty and Jerry both nodded.
As they left the room, Jerry let out a laugh before leaving the room and said,
"There's things you won't believe when we tell you."
*GATES OF BEACON*
"Well, we haven't completely learned of this place. What do we do now?" Jerry asked.
It wasn't long until Ruby found them.
" Hey guys! How was your sleep?"
"The best sleep I've had in months…" Jerry said with a yawn.
"Well, Professor Ozpin wants to see you in his office."
"Alright, we have nothing to do anyway. We're still trying to comprehend…everything…" Monty responded.
As the trio walked into the Headmaster's office, the first thing they noticed was a girl standing there with suitcases.
"Gentlemen. This is Angie Borsh. She is your new and final member of your group. Except she will be taking classes."
"How are you?" Angie smiles as she shook hands with the three.
"Excellent, I'm Ruby."
"Doing great, I'm Monty."
"I'm Jerry."
"Are you three my team?"
"These two are…She's leader of Team RWBY." Ozpin pointed out.
"Ok…I thought they were teams of four?"
"They are, the leader is currently recovering from illness."
"Oh. I'm sorry." She rubbed her shoulder.
"No don't feel sorry. He's doing much better!" Monty reassured. "He's just very confused and we have to explain what he missed."
Angie sighed with relief. "OK, well I'm going to go unpack."
"Here, let me help you. I can show you to our room." Monty grabbed a suitcase.
"Thank you, so much." Angie sighed.
As the two walked out to the hallway, Jerry spoke to Ruby.
"I haven't been explained of this place…What are these "weapons" and how are you fighting?"
"I'll explain to you on the way to the cafeteria. It sounds like you really aren't from this world." She laughed.
"I haven't eaten anything since 2 days ago…I might just be crazy." Jerry Chuckled weakly.
"Let's go." She smiled and they left the office.
Ozpin looked out his window over the entire front of the school. Something in his mind bothered him. Who would the "real" enemy be? And where would they strike? Or are they already in plain sight? But, he took a sip from his cup and put it off for now. As he knew, the enemy would not strike so soon. But, the pain still lingered in his mind.
Meanwhile back in the nurse's office, Eddie sat there. He had a nasty feeling in his stomach. Probably all of the medicine. But, he's taken plenty. No, it's not the medicine. Maybe the teleporter did something to him. Something worse than death.
"Maybe I'm sick. Maybe I can sleep it off…" He thought.
He lays back down knowing he'll be alright when he wakes. But, the feeling that the war will never end made it hard to sleep. What if they it works and this world is taken over by Nazi's? "What will happen to their world? Their families? Their lives they left behind to fight for freedom and peace? Will it all be wasted? All those lives sacrificed for just a loss?
Eddie, on the verge of tears, whispered to himself.
"No…I can't let down my country…especially my brothers…"
As he laid his head in his pillow he cried softly, shut his eyes, and went to sleep.
