But i will be clear that not going to be Cinder or anyone of the evil girls. Nothing personal, i just don't see Ceodore with one of those girls, is nothing personal.

I will try upload the chapters more quicly that i can, but who is a busy writers, know how is. And now, i am one of them. Do what? I cannot keep sitting in front of my notebook all day. Life would be so easy if i could. I going out of the topic here. I just want to all you know that this fic still will take a while to be uploaded, since i have too much to do out of the internet.

No more delay. Here the next chapter of Sons of Darkness. To the fic!


Everytime Sylph come to visit her father, she teach something to Ceodore about the life out of the combats. Right now, Miles was looking to his daughter teaching to his apprentice how to dance. Why? Ceodore asked that too and her answer was:

-One day you will meet some nice girl and will have to take her out. Maybe to one club where you will have to shake your bones. I'm just helping you to be prepared to that.

-Do you think that will have a girl who will want to dance with me?

-Why not? You are very cute, actually. -This make him blush a little. -And i'm sure that when you growl up, will be a very handsome guy.

Steam come from Ceodore's ears after her spoke that. Miles look to the two. The way Sylph talk make him remember of her mother. He start to wonder what she is doing now. Also he was curious if she was recovered from the damage from the miasma on Sylph's body.


Elegant suit?

Check.

Combed hair?

Check.

Smell?

Check.

That was going to be the first party that Ceodore go in his entirely life, without count those ones that Sylph made to him in his birthday. Also, he wanted to make the night good for his partner. He still feel a little uncomfortable after damage her aura with his miasma. So he want to make everything go fine when take her to the party tonight.

-Ceodore. -Nora called. He turn around to see her with her own dress. -I don't think that i want to go.

-C'mon. You need to have some fun. You was so unhappy lately.

-B-But...

Ceodore put a hand on her shoulder.

-I will promisse that your mood will get better if you go.

She smiled to him and nodded. But still was worried with her friend. Ren dissapeared make hours and Ceodore didn't know what he was doing, just hope that he keep think about he talked to him. But now, he was waiting for his partner get ready. He sit down on his bed and start to think in his actual situation. Again, was going to be his first party without be those of his birthdays. Normally he would prefer stay in his dormroom and away from his classmates, but when heard that Pyrrha was going to the Dance alone, he couldn't accept that. So tonight, he was going to ignore all the stares of his classmates and make sure that his partner have fun. Not gonna be easy, but he face worst things when was being trained by his master.

The door of the bathroom open and the champion walk to the room. Ceodore knew that Pyrrha is a beautiful girl, but see her in that dress removed any doubt in his mind, if have some.

-How do i look?

Pyrrha asked feeling a little embaressed for Ceodore look to her from head to toe.

-Pyrrha, you're beautiful. I pratically feeling pit for the guys who didn't have asked to you to come to the Dance.

Like always, she blushed by his coment. Nora look to her face, then to Ceodore, then to Pyrrha again and she put two and two together. She put both hands on her mouth to not scream and point to Pyrrha who was watching her behind Ceodore, then she point to the apprentice who was distracted with his partner to pay attention.

-I-I-It is better we go. -Pyrrha said a little nervous about Nora.

-Right. We don't want be late, right?

Ceodore offered his hand to Pyrrha who accepted. Nora was jumping behind Ceodore who this time notice the movements of his teammate. He turn around and Nora was looking to her nails. He shrugged and leave with his teammates. Ren was waiting for them leave the room so he could enter. He sighed and entered in his dormroom.


Ruby forgot completely about Blake because of her own problems. She saw her friend make all researches without rest because the worry with the faunus on Vale and the White Fang. She tried find her before the Dance started, but fail. Yang wanted to have a talk with her partner, but her scroll give the message occupied and Weiss didn't hear about her too. So in the end, they were going to the Dance without her.

Ruby like parties, but hated wear heels.

-Ugh. How can you use those things all the time?

She was with Weiss on the corridor waiting for Ceodore and his teammates so they can go to the party.

-I don't know what are you talking about. I can use it very well.

-Must be because you use it all the time that got accustomed.

-Is that too.

-Ladies. -Ceodore's voice cut the girl conversation. -You both look great.

-Ceodore! -Nora called. -Remember that the only girl that you suppose to compliment is Pyrrha.

This make Pyrrha's cheeks go to the same color of her dress.

-Nora. It is okay. We are all friends here, right?

Pyrrha said trying to not show how she was feeling about what Nora spoke. Nora pushed Pyrrha a little away from them so she could talk in particular with Pyrrha. Ceodore assumed that must be some of those "girls talk" that Sylph once told to him. He look back to Ruby and Weiss and notice something.

-Uhhh Weiss, you go to the Dance alone?

-I was too busy with all the decoration to ask someone.

-Nobody asked to you?

-Like i said, i was too busy. And what about you?

-Do you need to ask, Weiss? -Asked Ruby.

-Do you not think strange that he is going to a place full of people that... don't like him?

Ruby open the mouth to respond, but found logic on her partner words.

-Ceodore? -Ruby asked. He just point to behind in Pyrrha's direction. -Really?!

Ruby asked a little loudly, but didn't saw that coming, such as Weiss.

-You invited her?

-Well, no one asked. -With that, not only Weiss but Ruby's eyes widened with the fact that no guy have courage to ask her. -I think what my master said is truth. When more beautiful the girl, more lonely she is.

-You can say that. -That one was Weiss. This make her wonder if was because of this that the guy she asked didn't wanted to come with her. She decide to ignore this for now. -Let's go okay.

When she said the last word, Pyrrha and Nora have came back and for some reason, Nora was with a wide smile on her face.

-Girl's thing, surely. -Thought Ceodore.


Ballroom

Once the group arrived in the ballroom, Ceodore couldn't help but groan when saw Yang receiving the students. Like usual, her eyes become red when her vision caught the apprentice, then she look at Ruby who was with a pleading look. Yang took a deep breath, then spoke.

-Are you sure that want to be here?

-I have reasons.

-This not answer my question, but go ahead then.

Yang's behavior not go through Ceodore, but whatever make her back off from him, he decide that is not his problem. Ruby was happy that her sister didn't make a scene when saw the apprentice. Weiss just shrugged and start to give a look on the place to see if everything was perfect. Pyrrha was walking by the side of her partner, but notice already some looks from the others around of the dance floor, all eyes direct on the apprentice.

-Ceodore, are you sure that want to be there?

-I couldn't allow you come alone.

-I could have not come.

-But you need have some fun. Y'know, is no easy be my partner.

-But i don't mind that. You know that.

-Still, i want you to have some fun time.

-But you know how to dance?

-Sylph taught me.

-Oh.

Everytime Ceodore mention Miles's daughter, Pyrrha start to wonder if she is someone special to her partner. The way Ceodore talk about her show that he seems to have a strong bond with her. He may have said that Miles was the only friend he have, but he not talk about her due the fact the she is the only daughter of the Dark Knight. Of course everyone who want Miles's head would try use her to capture or kill him. Ceodore only talk about Sylph with Pyrrha and Ruby. Both girls were surprise with the notice, but Ceodore make sure to tell to the girls that she is a nice person. The reason she exist is because of what should be a "one night thing" ended with a woman pregnant with his child.

Sylph grew up with her mother, but visited her father sometimes and always enjoyed Ceodore's company. Such as Ceodore. So being in love with him make Pyrrha felt something on her stomach everytime he talk about her. She didn't have courage to ask if she is someone special to him.

Yang was watching the apprentice envolving his partner with his arms and start to dance with her. She didn't know if was her imagination, but Yang thought see Pyrrha with a smile so big that she could see from her back. She keep ignoring the apprentice and receiving the students, then a black bow call her attention.

-Blake?

-Hi.

She was wearing her prom dress. Yang was surprise to see her, after all, she was so focused in the investigation that didn't wanted to take some time to rest. Yang wanted to put some good sense on her, but her problems with her sister make her forget completely about her partner.

-What are you doing here?

-I... thought to have some fun?

-Can i ask what make you change your mind? -Blake didn't say anything at first, but her eyes were looking to behind of Yang. She look to where Blake was looking and saw the apprentice. -Him?

-Yes?

-How? When?

-I explain later.

-So, you have someone with you?

-No, actually.

-So you will give to me the pleasure of that dance?

-You don't have to receive the students?

-I can take a break. C'mon.

She grabbed Blake's hand and walk to the dance floor.

Nora was drinking some punch close of one table. She only come because Ceodore wanted her to come, but she was still worried with her childhood friend to try have some fun. Discover about Pyrrha's feeling for her leader help to rise her mood a little, but she still was depressed. Her thoughts were interrupted by a hand on her shoulder. When she look to who the hand belonged, her eyes widened.

-Ren! You came!

She jumped and hugged him.

-Trying have some fun?

-Now that you are here, i'm sure that night will be great. -She declared with joy, but notice that Ren was with a sad expression. -Something is wrong Ren?

-I'm sorry Nora.

-W-What?

-I'm sorry for make you worry so much. And i'm sorry for act like a fool. I shouldn't let my problems affect those who are important to me.

Her smiled could grow loudly if was possible.

-I will accept your apologise, only if you dance with me.

-Deal.

She dragged him to the dance floor close to her teammates and start to dance with them. For the first time since Ren come to Beacon, he wasn't bothered with Ceodore's presence.


? ? ?

-Hey Fido! -Roma called the faunus. -How is going the-aaaww, she likes you.

Roman was amused with the vision of the dog faunus lying on Neo's lap. She also was scratching his dog ear.

-She said if i didn't do that, she would make me feel like a real dog in a visit on the vet.

-She say a lot of things. Anyway, how is going the specimen?

-Just a crumb from the dust was enough to make some effect. -Fido tried to get up, but Neo hold him back. He groaned but continued. -The Beowulf's body start to assume a more humanoid form after a couple of hours.

-Yeah, yeah. How about his attributes?

-Growing up.

-Excellent. You said that just a crumb from the dust was enough?

-Yeah. Why?

Roman's grin told to Fido that he was working in another evil scheme. He could worry about what he was planning if didn't have a miniature psycho holding him down.


End of the chapter. The first chapter that will go with more than one part. I will upload the second part as soon as possible. It seems that some problems were resolved. Blake heard Ceodore's talk with Ren and notice what she was doing was the same like who survive a fight against Miles. Ren and Nora are together again, but not still together-together(i didn't think that i would write this words). Pyrrha is feeling some jealous from some girl she didn't even meet, but of course, she is really close of Ceodore.

I thinking in how i will develop Fido as a character. I mean, make him like another White Fang member, like Hercule Satan or someone that know how to fight. Just because he is a comedy character, does mean that he will not know how to figth, or mean, i will decide that later.

I guess is all for now. Next chapter will be the second part. Until next time.
