Sorry for my bad english.
Cure.
That is Ceodore's semblance. He not complain but wonder why of everything that he could do, it was cure the others. With this line of thought, something come to his mind. He left his room, go down on the stairs and see his master looking again to the fire in the chimney.
-Master.
-What?
-Can i ask something?
-You already ask.
-Master, what is your semblance?
-I didn't say that i would answer two questions.
-So can you answer that one... and that what i asking now?
-My semblance. Make a while that i don't use. -His master didn't get the eyes of the fire on the entirely conversation. What have on the fire to make him stare for so long? Miles turn around to look to his young apprentice. Ceodore still waiting for the answer. -My semblance is Creation.
Courtyard
Glynda was having more work than she have in her entirely time as a teacher in Beacon. Everything because Ruby Rose just heard Ceodore telling to Pyrrha Nikos that his master was coming to Vale. Right now she was using her semblance to hold Ryan Forest, who was so scary that he was running around the school like have a piranha fish bitting his ass. She didn't expecting have to use her semblance to control a frightened boy, but Ryan have a strength above from a of a simple student.
-Mr Forest! Please calm down!
-Calm down?! CALM DOWN!? How come i can calm down with him coming?!
She was holding him in one place but he keep trying run. She have no choice but do something that a teacher never should do with a student. Still holding him, she raise her hand and...
*SLAP*
... slapped his face. She feel bad for this but make him stop trying run.
-I'm sorry mr Forest, but you let me no choice. The Beacon staff gonna take care of the situation, but we need to the students keeping calm and don't panic. So please go back to you room and calm down your nerves.
For her relief he nodded and walk away. It was like that all the day and still morning. It was not only Ryan, almost every student was scared with the news. She and all professors were doing their hard to control the situation, but was no easy control a dozen of frightened huntsmens in training. The responsable for this was in her room being scolded by Fernando.
She really don't like him when he act like that.
RWBY room
Fernando was massaging the middle of his noise.
-Do you have any idea of what you did?
His voice was harsh, he was more serious than anytime that the girls see when first meet him on his class. His face frowned and direct to the girl who was being scolded.
-I thought would be better letting everyone now about something so serious.
He point to the window and the girls see a boy falling from above screaming "he never gonna get me alive", then Fernando raise his hand and his aura appeared in a gray energy. The girls didn't know what he did, just must be saved the boy who fall.
-It because of this that somethings never should go to the public. The school is a completely chaos. Everyone don't stop think that they gonna die or go to battle. Some of them are acting like they go to the war! Other are crying like babys! -Yang hold the chuckle but was smiling. -DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?!
The high scream of his voice scared a little the girls of the room. Ruby never expect see mr Minuano so angered, he always was so calm and funny, see him like that scared her a little. Weiss once thought that nothing on this world could anger Minuano, until today. Blake didn't know what to think, he helped her with her problem some days ago, but see him like that really let her uncomfortable. Yang was chocked, when she put on the internet that Miles Thanatos was coming to Vale, she knew what could happen, she was having some fun watching some students acting like was the end of the world, until Minano's hand grab her shoulder and she see him with a frowned face for the first time of the year.
Fernando being who he was, didn't like to raise his voice to a student like that, but the irresponsable attitude cause the biggest commotion what the school has ever see. The worst is that Yang didn't even was taking serious the trouble that she cause, so he have to scold her. He was so busy scolding her that didn't feel some negative intention on the other side of the coridor.
CNVL room
Nora was quite, something rare on her life. This silence was caused by worry, worry for her partner and best friend. When she and Ren discover that Thanatos was coming to Vale, Ren make nothing, not even a single moviment on his face. He just walk back to the dorm room and sit on his bed. Anyone that see him would think that he was meditating, but she know that his mind was working like a big factory.
She was worried of what he gonna do about this and how Ceodore gonna handle the situation. Herself also didn't know what to do. The man who was responsible for her and Ren be orphans was comming and the leader of her team is his apprentice.
She know what is going on in Ren's mind. A Memory, a memory of him holding the hand of his father... before he passed away. If he try do something? He is not ready to face him, but this not gonna stop him fom trying. What Ceodore gonna do? Gonna help his master? Will let Ren do whatever he want to do?
Probably she was the person who was most scared with his arrival.
Back to RWBY dorm room
After mr Minuano done, Yang was feeling like was smashed by a ton of bricks. The so calm and funny man scold her on the worst way that she could think and now, she was with heavy heart and feeling sad to the point of crying.
She thought that they could do nothing against her. She didn't do anything against the rules, so they don't have the right to punish her. But then come mr Hazashi to the dorm room and man, that guy was pissed like never of his life.
From another bed, Blake was thinking on how this gonna affect Vale. If like Torchwick and White Fang was enough, the Dark Knight was coming and no one know what to do. If he put himself in the middle of this? Could Roman convince him to join him on whatever he planning? He have a silver tongue, know what words to say. This though leave her worried. If Thanatos become part of Roman's plans, there is no way to stop him.
What to do?
Corridor
-But i didn't know that would happen!
Ruby left her dorm room with Weiss looking for Ceodore, who was with Pyrrha. In the moment that Ruby find him, she start to apologise frenetically. Ceodore was mad with her for spy his conversation with Pyrrha, but not mad with her like he was with Yang for put the notice on the internet. At least Ruby come to apologise. She told to him that her sister was scolded by mr Minuano. This make him and Pyrrha raise a eyebrown, i don't need to explain why right? Anyway, after she start to apologise, her eyes start to watery and she began to cry.
-Ruby. -She sobbed. -Ruby. -She sniffed. -Ruby. -She sobbed again. Weiss have enough.
-Ruby! Ceodore is try to talk!
Her voice make Ruby stop but keeping sobbing. Ceodore sighed.
-Look, it doesn't matter now, the damage was already been done. I still don't know why my master is coming, but i guess that he just start to wander again.
-Wander? -Weiss asked and Pyrrha answered.
-Ceodore and Miles keep traveling while he was training Ceodore. After five years traveling, they moved to a house in the forest of Atlas, where he keep with Ceodore's training.
-And now without Ceodore, he start to wander on Remnant again.
-Do you think that is? -Asked Ruby and Ceodore just shrugged.
-He never call attention to himself since i meet him. So this is my best guess.
-So we don't need to worry about him? -Asked Weiss.
-It just don't do anythink against him and we gonna be fine.
Now this relief the three girls a little. But the relief was replace by surprise when a explosion was heard in the courtyard.
-Unbelivable! They don't need blow up the school just because they are scared!
Weiss walk to the courtyard and her friend decide to follow her. Big mistake. Why? Because Ceodore was with them.
Courtyard
Almost every student was in panic. Miles Thana... i don't need to say again right. Some of them was ready to face him if necessary. The explosion was cause by a student who was cheking his gear and make a little mistake. He get up recovering from the explosion, he could see the heiress coming with a displeased look on her face. Behind her was the champiom, the reaper and...
-YOU! -He pointed to Ceodore. -Do you have some nerver to keep around after you done!
Ceodre was confused.
-What?
-Don't play dump! I know very well that was because of you that he is coming!
-What? I have nothing with my master coming to Vale.
-Do you have any proof? -Asked a girl what come closer.
And then, a little crowd start to form around Ceodore. All of them with a very displeased and looking with angry eyes, all looking direct to Ceodore.
-How do we know that you and him planned this all the time?! -Come a male voice from away.
-Why would i plan to become a student just to him come to Vale?!
-Maybe is part of a plan to destroy Vale! Like he did with Arcadia! -Another male voice spoke.
-Look, it just leave him alone that he gonna do nothing!
-And why we should trust on your words? -Come the voice of Cardin.
-*YEAH*
-Stop it! -Pyrrha shout. -Ceodore didn't nothing wrong since the day he come and we become partners! I trust in his words!
-So if we ask to your other teammates they would say the same thing?!
Pyrrha knew that Nora would, but Ren...
-Hey! -Started Ruby. -Was all of you who keep distance from him! Without even try to know him better! So don't point fingers shouting that he is the responsable for this!
-And what a little girl know about him?! -Come a female voice from away.
-Who are you calling little?!
Ruby shouted and trying to go after the girl who call her little, Ceodore was holding her. Pyrrha was worried, everyone around was thinking that Ceodore was the one responsable for the Dark Knight come to Vale. Now all scared, they all point a finger looking for someone to acusse and who better to put the guilty than the apprentice of Miles Thanatos? Weiss stepped.
-Do all of you call about proofs, but someone here have a proof that Ceodore is the responsable for Miles Thanatos come to Vale?
The crowd went silence. Of course they are just pointing fingers, looking for a guilty, without any proofs. Unfortunately, Cardin have something to say.
-The proof is that he is not even a human anymore!
-*YEAH*
More students join after him.
-He is just a walking parasite!
-*YEAH*
-A disease for the world!
-*YEAH*
-He didn't even should be here!
-*YEAH*
-He is nothing more than a threat to us!
-*YEAH*
-You should leave Beacon!
-*YEAH*
-Go crawl back to that souless moster that you call Master!
That last one make Ceodore glow in a dark blue aura. Everyone around give a step back. Normaly his aura was white, so that aura what everyone was seeing is his miasma. Ceodore start look to the guy who call his master of a souless creature and start to walk toward him. The guy give some steps back and everyone around start to move away from him. Pyrrha knew how Miles is important to Ceodore, she know that he can't stand someone who insult his master like that. She need to stop him.
-Ceodore no. -He didn't listen. -Ceodore stop! -He keep going. -If you do that, gonna give them more reasons to avoid you.
He didn't stop. She run after him and hugged him to make him stop. But she didn't expect feel something burn on her skin, but she didn't let him go. Her painful scream it was make Ceodore turn off his miasma.
-Pyrrha!
She fall on her knees and would be on the floor if Ceodore didn't hold her. Dammit.
*Flashback*
-Until you learn to control, your miasma gonna react to your emmotions. Making you strong but with no control of yourself, but also can make you weak.
-Master, did you already lost control?
-... yes.
He hold her in a tight hug, feeling a fool for let this happen even with the warning of his master. Specially with one of the girls who is his friend.
-Pyrrah i'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
-Ceodore...
Its all that she said before put a hand on his cheek, then she fall unconscious.
-Pyrrha! -Shouted Ruby and Weiss at the same time.
Both girls come closer. Ceodore didn't move and seemed like he would be like that for a while...
*SLAP*
... if Weiss didn't slapped him.
-Don't stand here like a statue! Take her to the imfirmary! She need medical attention!
Her words have effect on him. He get up carring his partner and run away from the scene, Ruby and Weiss after him. Cardin see this and started again.
-Yeah! Run away and make sure to don't come ba...
-WINCHESTER!
Come the voice of a angered Fernando Minuano. Cardin could sworn that the eath shake with Fernando scream.
?
Roman was a little bored. Since he receive that order, he keep just on his office to not call attention for now. Finallly he receive a call.
-Geez, about the time, a little more of silence and i would... what?... WHAT?... HIM? Okay, okay. -He turn off the call. -Just my luck. Fido! -He shout to the member of the White Fang. -We have a little change of plans. We gonna need one more!
-One more?! We barely was able to get this one, why we would need...
-Miles Thanatos is coming to Vale.
All the members of White Fang went silence, until Fido talk again.
-Y'know? One more of those Paladins would be really useful.
End of chapter. Next chapter we gonna know a little more about miasma and what effects he have in Ceodore's body. Until next time.
