Sorry for my bad english.
-Must have something that you like.
-No, nothing.
The fourteen year old Ceodore was having a talk with his master, none of them know how the conversation went to this way. His master just told to him that he don't like absolutely nothing in Remnanat.
-C'mon, must have something, puppys?
-Their barks bother me.
-Your parents?
-Eleodore was unfaithful wife and Ceon was a drunk man. I think not.
-Alright, food?
-Waste of time.
-What?
-If eating was not a need, I would not waste my time with it.
-You joking right?
-I think the same thing about sleep.
-Calumny! -This guy is hardcore but is not a rock, he start to think in anything what even him would like. -Womans?
-No.
-Mans?
-...
*PUNCH*
Combat Class
Ceodore have a feeling that something was wrong with team RWBY, the fact what Ruby's team was not around and the fact Blake run into him last night with a sad face tell this to him. He was in Goodwitch class where he promise to Yang the rematch but she was not in the class. He was watching Nora fighting on the arena, he looked around and not see either Ruby and Weiss. Now, he dind't care about Ruby's teammates, but she was his friend so its natural he be worry if she was having problems.
*BAM*
His thoughts were interrupt by Nora's opponent falling on him.
-Sorry Ceodore!
-C'mon Blake, answer! -Ruby was trying contact Blake with her scroll, but she denied every call from her leader. Ruby and her friends spend the day looking for her missing teammate, she didn't expected Blake act like that, she was always so calm, last night was the first time she actually become angry, she stop try calling her with the scroll. -Where she could be?
-Don't worry Rubes, she must be in somewhere.
-We should look on the city, she cleary is not in the school.
Weiss said and the three go the next bullhead to the Vale. Before boarding, Ruby's scroll start to ring, she rapidly answer.
-Blake?
-Ceodore.
-Oh, hi Ceodore, look i am a little busy right now, can we talk latter?
-Is about Blake run away from your room last night?
-Wait, you see her?
-No after last night, sorry.
-Its okay, hey, you could help me find her, we are gone to the Vale right now.
-Hmmm...
-Don't worry, Blake have nothing against you.
-Is not that, don't take this personal Ruby but i cannot help you.
-What? Why not?
-Because i am forbiden to leave the academy until Ozpin give me permission to leave. I cannot go to Vale.
-Why you can't leave the school?
-Before i become a student, i have to agree with some rules if i wanted to stay in Beacon. Unless whatever you need is happening in the school, i cannot help you.
-Its okay, i understand, thank you anyway.
-I talk to you later. Bye.
-Bye. -This new information surprised her, she didn't know about these rules. It was a public knowledge that Ceodore was in Beacon, but the fact the he have to follow some rules to stay in the academy was not mentioned to the public. -Hey, some of you knew that Ceodore cannot leave the academy?
-Not, i didn't know that.
-Dang! I forgot that our rematch was today! Well, i remark to another day, lets go, the bullhead is about to leave.
The three embarked int the bullhead, not even knowing of her teammate still was in the school and was about to talk to someone.
Fernando's office
He said "when need someone to talk, the door of my office is aways open". Well, it was open and she was sitting in one of the chairs wating for him appear. She look to his bookcase, almost all books write in braille, a written for the blind people, but what caught her attention was something wrapped in a piece of cloth. She hear the dorknob move and the person she wait for all day finally arrived.
-Ms Belladona?
-Hello mr Minuano.
-Can i help you?
-Yes, a friend of mine kinda have a problem with his friends.
-And why this friend don't come to me?
-He is not a student so i was hopping you could help me to help him.
-Is not exactly what i do but... -He sit down on his chair. -... if you need help is okay to me. Tell me your friend name.
Blake didn't know if Hazashi really buy that or was just being kind to her. She expected he ask something like that so she already think any possible answer.
-Black.
-Okay, so what is his problem.
-He... is a faunus.
-And the problem is?
-He keep hiding this from his friends.
-How he did do that?
-He was hiding his dog ears with a cap. Since they discover, he keep avoiding them.
-Why?
-One of his friends, White, have some problems with faunus, they start to discuss about the White Fang and was that time they discover about him.
-And what the White Fang have with this?
-Well... ermm...
-Hmm, no matter. So what his other friends think about him?
-He don't know, he just run from them.
-What i could understand is after Black have his secret exposed, he just run afraid of what his friends could think about his faunus heritage, right?
-Exactly.
Fernando start to think about the situation, is not the first time he deal with a faunus with a problem, but one who hide who he really is from his friend? This not gonna be easy.
-Blake, how many of his friends discover about him?
-Only more two.
-Can you tell me their names?
-... Red and Yellow.
-What they think about faunus?
-Well, as far i know, they don't have any problem with faunus.
-And even like that he run away from them?
-Y'know, he's been hiding from them he is a faunus.
-Why did he hide this from them?
-Is not everyone who is so mind open to his race.
-But lie is not the best way to keep a friendship. -Blake flinched a little. She was very thankful the mr Minuano is blind so he can't see her sad face right now. -Black told to you everything what is bothering him?
-Yeah, pretty much everything.
-So, What Red and Yellow think about he been a faunus?
-He... don't know exactly, like i said, he run before any word can be said.
-And even knowing that his friends don't have nothing against the faunus, he run away from them? -Blake face sadened. -Blake, not matter what Black is, be a human or a faunus, he still is the same person who his friends knows, the only thing what change is that he have dog ears, everything about him is the same. He need talk to his friends directly, Black never will know what his friends feelings about the situation if just keep avoiding them, is like the fear of failure, you will never know if you gonna fail in something if you don't try.
-And if he don't talk to his friends, he never will know how they feel.
-Exactly.
-But if they don't accept him? If they look to him from his past and not for what he is now?
-You not gonna know if you gonna fail if you don't try right?
Blake start to think about what the professor said. She just run, like she run from Adam, but her friends are different from his old partner, Ruby and Yang may accept her despite her past with the White Fang, but Weiss was very clear what she think about them, some of her older partners wish nothing more than tear the skin of a Schnee. But is like mr Minuano said, she never gonna know if she keep run away from her problems.
-Thank you mr Minuano, i hope Black accept this advice.
-Is my pleasure ms Belladona, i hope too that everything ends well to him and his friends.
-Bye sir and thanks again.
She left the room, she start to walk back to her dorm but every step make her more nervous, she could only hope that regardless her past, her teammates,no... her friends can accept her and her heritage.
-You cannot leave the academy?
After Ceodore talk to Ruby on the scroll, he decide to tell to his teammates about his situation as a student in the academy. He and Pyrrha were sitting in the cafeteria, again, every student keep distance from him.
-Yes, i cannot leave the school ground unless i have Ozpin permission or else the authorities of Vale can arrest me.
-But this is ridiculous. You do nothing wrong since the day you come to Vale.
-I know, but if i wanna be a student here, i have to agree with some conditions.
-What conditions?
-I cannot leave Beacon, if i leave only accompanied by a professor who offer to scort me, receive punishment two times worst if i cause trouble, my weapon must be locked on a locker in the staff room and i'm forbidden to use and talk about... the miasma.
Of course his miasma was involved, but his weapon locked in a locker on the staff room? Now that she think about, Ceodore don't need a rocket locker if he not gonna leave Beacon. They must let his weapon in the staff room for security measures, not for Ceodore but for the students sadly.
-People of Vale are quite adamant to not let you come to Beacon, its natural they only stop with their protests with these "security measures" done.
Spoke Ren who appear coming close to Ceodore and Pyrrha. For the first time Nora wasn't with him.
-Hey Ren.
-Hello Ren. Where is Nora?
-That is what i wish to know. She said that she forgot something in the classroom and not come back.
-Oh.
-Ok then.
A awkwardly silence. Ren and Ceodore still not talk too much with each other, but for now, Ren and Pyrrha were good with each other.
-You... should already tell to us about this rules Ceodore.
-Sorry, sliped from my mind.
-If some of you two see her, can make her go back to the dorm, she still have to study.
-We gonna, Ren, don't worry. -Said Pyrrha.
Ren walk away from the cafeteria, Pyrrha seemed fine with him but still was hard be close to Ceodore, putting this thoughts behinde, he go back to find his friend praying she don't do anything stupid.
-MY ARM! MY ARM!
-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Who is the next opponent of the queen of the castle on the arm wrestling contest?!
Team RW_Y look for her missing friend all day in Vale, the girls are worried of something really bad happen to her. The three girls were in their dorm feeling sad about failing to find Blake. None o the girls talked since the ride back to Beacon, Yang was about to try a joke to light the mood when someone knock the door. Ruby left her bed to open the door and find...
-Mr Minuano?
-Hello Ruby,can i have a word with Blake?
-Weeeeeelllllll, Blake is not here now, can you say what you want to talk to her?
-She come to me this morning, she want to me help her friend with some trouble, i just want to know if everything go right.
-Wait! She talk to you?
-Uhh, yes, for the surprise i think none of you knew that.
-What the problem she talk to you? -Asked Yang.
-One of her friends is a faunus and hide from his friends, she just wanna know how to help him.
-One of her friends? -Ruby was confused on the begining but she put two and two right in the time. -Uhh,sorry sir, but she... left make a hour, she didn't say where she was going.
-Hmm. Okay, give me a second. -The girls looked to each other a bit confused, mr Minuano didn't nothing but keep stand in the front of the dorm room. After a coule of second he point to the right. -She is on the rooftop, the door is in that direction.
What Minuano didn't expected was Ruby give to him a hug before start to run in to the rooftop.
-Thank you mr Minuano! -Shouted Yang before follow Ruby.
-Excuse me sir. -Said Weiss before start to follow the sisters.
Fernando close the door of the dorm, wondering what was that about, he just shrugged and walk away. The girls didn't know how he knew where Blake is or if she really was on the rooftop, but after a entirely day missing none of the girls care of the possibility of Blake don't be on the roof. Ruby open the door of the rooftop and she was there, looking to the city and a hand on her chest.
-Blake! -She turn around and was hugged by Ruby. -Where have you been? We were so worried! How could you run away like that!?
The rest of the team appear, Yang come and hugged her too, Weiss face was blank.
-I'm sorry girls, i need some time to...
-Talk with our blind professor for some advice?
-Well, not only this. -She turn to look at Weiss. -To start, i have nothing more related with the White Fang and i want to know if... is fine to all of you what i am?
The three looked at Blake with differents expressions. Ruby was the first to spoke.
-Blake, you is you, no matter the way you born, you are you want to be and to me, you are this girl who love read books and is very kind.
Yang was next.
-Same for me, no matter who you are before, but what are you are now. I mean, you see the mistakes of your acts and now, you are following the way of the heroes, the good way. If someone try say otherwise, will have a little chat with my fist.
She done smashing her fists together, Weiss didn't say anything for a seconds, she just was breathing with eyes closed, what make Blake worried. She have to fight against the ruge wish of run again. Finally she open the eyes and spoke.
-Even if i think this is a very displeased notice, my line of thought is the same of Yang, i mean, you are not with these dirt cri... i mean, with the White Fang anymore, you are here in Beacon, studing to be a huntress, if you really left your past behinde, its okay to me and... you worried me.
The last part make her blush, Blake feel relieved and happy what the talk with mr Hazashi really helped. Yang with a big smile on her face spoke.
-Now that everyone is friend again, GROUP HUG!
-Don't you dare your troglotite!
But Weiss complains didn't stop Yang to grab all the girls in a hug. The happy moment gone when Blake free herself to spoke.
-Okay, now i will need the help of all of you.
-Hey, if i gonna punch some bad guys, count with me.
-I think i know where the White Fang gonna strike next time and i wanna stop them.
-Then count with us, whatever bad guy appear, can't stand a chance against team RWBY!
Blake start to tell where they gonna go on the next night, unaware of some faunus litening the conversation.
End of the chapter. Ceodore is stuck in the academy and team RWBY gonna face the White Fang in the docks... oh wait, i give a spoiler, damn. I try to add Sun but after i put Fernando in the middle, i could think how he could enter in the scene. Next time besides the action, some characters gonna talk a little about Ceodore's master. Thank you for read and until next time.
