Sorry fo my bad english.
Past
Forest on Mistral
The poor woman fought well against him, but in the end, she was being grabbed by her throat. The worst part, her little daughter was watching.
-I was expecting more from someone with your talents lady.
He tight the grab making the woman gasp.
-Mother! No!
The woman look to her daughter for one last time.
-I'm sorry... for not keeping my promise. -She said between the gasps. -Curse you, Dark Knight.
*CRACK*
-No... -The little girl said with watery eyes, her mother's body falling on the floor. She notice the man with black armor was looking at her. -Y-y-you kill my mother, what you g-gonna do t-to me?
He only walk to her and said.
-You was the last person in your mother's mind before she die, someday you gonna be strong like her, or more, i will waiting for you until this day come.
With that he just turn around and let the poor crying girl alone.
Glynda was walking on the corridor with her scroll on her hands looking to the scheduled classes, today she gonna escort the student on the Forever Fall Forest to colect red sappy for Professor Peach, looking ahead she see the main reason of her headaches of this year.
Tamarí Unicorn.
The younger daughter of the owner of The Tamarí's Weapon Industry was one of most disrespectful students that she ever meet, she was nothing like her brother, a well behaved third year student or her older sister, a calm and respectful huntress.
Distracted with the thoughts, she didn't notice someone come to her.
-Something is bothering you? -Turn around, she see Fernando's sunglasses. -You're a little tense. -She didn't respond, just go back to look at Unicorn. -Oh, she do something?
-No, it just, Mustang is a so good student, how come she be so different from him?
-Y'know Mustang and his sister are two different persons. It's natural their both be different from each other.
-But her behavior is not acceptable.
-I know that, actually i'm surprise she not be expeled yet.
-Well, her family is too much powerful, if she do something worth of expulsion, her family have ways to keep her here.
-Well, damn.
She still was looking at her, Unicorn notice so get up and walk away, Glynda was about to do the same but notice Fernando standing without any movement. His face was blank.
-Fernando?
-Yes?
-Something is wrong?
-I'm not sure. But anyway i should go, get ready for the class and make sure none student give a shot on the ceiling. -Silence. -A bucket of joy you're Glynda. -She ignore the comment and walk away from the blind samurai. Fernando enter in the classroom when notice someone in the room. -Ms. Nikos? Do you need something?
-Actually yes. -She was nervous, Fernando could feel that. -I have some little troubles with my teammates.
-Ceodore is causing trouble?
-Why do you think is Ceodore? -She answered with a little of hostility.
-Sorry, i was just asking. But judging by your reaction i think that i know what is the problem.
-Do you?
-Is mr. Ren or m.s Valkyrie?
Forever Fall
-Yes, students, the forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sight-see. Professor Peach has asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest and I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so. Everyone has an empty jar, correct?
-Can i ask why would we die?
-In one minute mr. Ceodore. Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap such as this. However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here by 4 o'clock. Have fun.
With that, the students started with the task. Suddendly Ren feel a hand on his shoulder, it was Pyrrha.
-Can we talk?
He thought for a moment and...
-Sure.
He put the empty jar on the floor and start to walk away with Pyrrha.
-Ren... -Nora called him.
-Its okay Nora, i'll be right back.
With that, left Nora alone... with Ceodore.
Ceodore and Nora were looking at a tree, wondering how get the sap out. Ceodore pull out his sword and give to the tree a small cut, the sappy start to drain from the bark, he turn around and see Nora with Magnhild in hands with a combat stance.
-What are you doing?
-Hmmmm, nothing. -She put magnhild back and grab a empty jar. Ceodore was looking to nothing so she took the opportunity to pass her finger in the sap and tasted a bit. the taste was sweet.
-Nora, i think have more sappy on the tree... -He see Nora with a finger on the mounth. -Nora, you are not eating the sappy, are you?
-Nooo?
He turn around looking for another tree filled with sappy, suddendly Ceodore hear a groan.
-Nora, do you hear that? I think there have a gri... -He turn to Nora and see the jar on her hand, once filled with sappy now empty. -... how on Remnant did you eat all the sappy of the jar in one instant?
-Years of practice.
He groan, on the next one, Nora climbed the tree to collect more sappy, when she give the jar to Ceodore it was empty.
-Nora, we need the sappy, remenber?
-Hehehe, sorry Ceodore.
While collencting the sappy, Nora wondered what Pyrrha wish talk to Ren, she didn't expected this after last night. Ceodore didn't seemed bothered with that, she wanted ask to him what Pyrrha wanted to talk to Ren, but would he knows?
-JACKPOT!
Ceodore screamed when the tree that he cut let a lot of sappy. Filling jar after jar, she look on his smiling face, she would not admit but she once feared him a little, for reasons, but looking at him now, he don't even look like his master.
Happy. Smiling. Kind. The face full of joy. She start to wonder if he really is the apprentice of the Dark Knight or a trickster.
After a while, they make a pile of jar filled with sappy, Nora have a finger on her mouth and was drooling, Ceodore looked around to see if someone was close to see them, no one was around, he grab one jar and give to Nora and make a "shh" motion to her, she give the biggest smile she could and eat the sappy of the jar.
-Ceodore. -Someone call.
Pyrrha come back with Ren, none of them collect a jar of sappy yet so their partner go help them. Ceodore leave with Pyrrha leaving Nora with her best friend.
-So, how things went?
Nora didn't now if should tell him the truth, she actually have a lot of fun with Ceodore, but Ren have some problems with his master, but she didn't wanna judge Ceodore for what his master done, Ceodore is Ceodore and his master are his master, not him. She decide tell the truth.
-Really good, Ceodore cut a tree and he was covered with sappy, it was funny.
-Good.
-Soooo, what Pyrrha want to...
-Nora, what you think about Ceodore?
-You was covered by sappy? -Ceodore was telling to Pyrrha what was happening while she was with Ren, almost everything left Pyrrha laughing a lot. -Wait, but you look so clean, what happen with the sappy in your body?
-Oh, Nora clean me.
-How?
-I don't wanna talk about that, just to you now, was more hard to get her off me than a grimm.
She laugh more, she aways enjoy his company and looks like Nora enjoyed too, she only hope Nora not enjoyed too much, she become suprise to herself when this thought come to her mind, but her thought was interrupt by a very uncommon vision.
-Ryan, how in the name of mankind did you got the jar stuck in your head? -Asked the ninja boy trying remove the jar from his friend head, the boy respond the question but the jar on his head make impossible to any word to be heard. -How come you don't know?
How did he understand? Nevermind. Pyrha look on the sky and see that was almost 4 o'clock.
-Ceodore, is almost time, we should come back.
-Yeah, right.
-Ceodore... you don't wanna know what i wanted to talk to Ren?
-Seemed particular, you don't need to tell if you don't wanna.
-Are you sure?
-It's fine Pyrrha, whatever the problem, you don't need to tell me if you don't wanna.
More like he don't wanna to know, Pyrrha feel like that, of course, he knew the talk was about him, she just hoped Ren would do what she asked.
*CRASH*
-AHHH!
From nothing she was covered by sappy, a laugh show that who did this was none than Cardin Winchester. He and his team were laughing loud.
-Hey! -Screamed Ceodore.
-Lets Go! Lets Go!
Ordered Cardin to his team. Pyrrha was trying clean herself but the sappy was too gummy.
-What was that anyway?
-I think is the payback for make a fool of him in the history class.
-When this happen?
-You were sleeping. -Ceodore chuckle a little in embarassment. -Will take a while to clean this.
-Or just five seconds.
Pyrrha eyes windened.
-You don't dare Ceodore...
-NORA!
Nora's head could be see far away.
-Could you clean Pyrrha please!?
-Of course i can! -Spoke Nora loud.
-No no no Nora, you don't need. -She was running on Pyrrha's direction. -This gonna have a payback Ceodore.
-Until then, is better you start to run.
Pyrrha don't loose time to run away from Nora. Ren was watching the scene, Ceodore laughing, Nora laughing and running after Pyrrha and her laughing too. The scene make him think about Pyrrha' request, maybe he should talk to Fernando.
