Episode 2: Boiling Blood.
We finally arrived at Beacon and we disembarked from the ship's. A good amount student's arriving were gazing at the academy building's and the landscape of the surrounding area. Cerise seemed depressed about having to repeat her training and wasn't staring at the ground not wanting to make eye contact with anyone. I searched the area looking for potential rival's. To the left of us where two girl's a blonde and a reddish/brown-haired girl.
The brunette seemed a bit young to be going to this school but ,look's can deceive. And if she was to young to be here she'd be someone I'd have to look out for ,she wouldn't be here unless she was capable of it. She seemed fascinated with the people around her as she kept twirling around the blonde pointing at people. There was a male with long jet black hair wearing a black trench coat leaning against one of the tree's. There was a sword pierced in the ground next to him and his left hand lingered on the hilt. His left hand was also gloved ,his right hand was bare. He seemed to old to be a student here ,he had to be older than Cerise. Maybe he was a younger teacher or something? He was defiantly worth learning more about. A blue-haired wolf Faunus was slowly making her way out of the newest airship to dock ,she was trying to avoid any unnecessary contact with people. She must be nervous because of her heritage. There was an older wolf Faunus with greyish silver hair walking the ground's putting a stop to anyone trying to bully a fellow Faunus ,she appeared to be a senior. She had her eye's set on a certain boy with short orange-red hair.
Cerise seemed to have wandered off with some senior guy that she probably had a crush on. I heard loud crash and looked back to my left where the young burette was. Oh boy ,she just made a mistake and tripped ,falling into Weiss's luggage. "What are you doing?" Weiss asked angrily raising her voice. "Uh...Sorry.." the girl in red apologized ,embarrassed from what happened. "Sorry? Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?!" Weiss Scoffed. "uhh..." The younger girl grabbed one of the suit case's and Weiss yanked it away from her. "Gimme that! This is Dust mined and purified from the Schnee Quarry." The girl had a confused look on her face. "What are you ,brain dead?" Weiss asked grabbing a red vial from the suitcase. "Dust! Fire ,Water, Lightning ,energy!" She continued to shout. The other girl looked like she was about to sneeze. "Are you even listening to me? Is any of this sinking in? What do you have to say for yourself!?" Weiss continued to yell at her. The girl loudly sneezed cause an explosion of dust energy. The vial of dust that Weiss was holding hit a girl wearing a verity of black ,white and violet ,she also wore a black bow in her hair. "Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" Weiss shrieked now cover in ash from the explosion. "I'm really ,really sorry..." The girl spoke quietly in response to Weiss's anger. "Ugh! You complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?" Weiss growled. If I was that girl ,I would have walked away from Weiss by now ,if I already hadn't slapped her. As their argument continued the raven haired girl walked over and joined the chaos. I had just about enough of hearing Weiss yell so I started heading into the building I saw Cerise follow that guy in.

It's official ,I was lost. There wasn't a person around ,It was quiet and every step I took echoed. I had to find my way back out of this building ,If there wasn't another student here I was certain this area was off limit's.
"Madam. It appear's you have also lost your way. I believe fate has led us together so that we may both bathe in victory ,together ,once we escape this dark place." A light male's voice echoed. I turned around and I saw a man with crimson hair and orange highlight's standing before me dressed in fancy clothing. This man happened to be a tiger Faunus ,the symbol on his jacket sleeve was a blue tiger eye. He walked up to me taking my hand. "Come one darling! We belong together!" He exclaimed. "Ummm ,N-no...No we don't." I nervously jerked my hand away from his as I turned around and kept walking. "It's unusual for a woman not to fall for my charm. Of course ,since you are wearing a blood red Schnee Symbol ,It's to be expected that you wouldn't want to associate with my kind. " He scoffed. I stopped dead in my track's ;I was tired of people judging me based on the symbol that I wear. "You are wrong. Just because I'm a Schnee doesn't mean-" I started to shout before he placed a finger to my lip's cutting me off. "What's with your symbol anyway? Are you some type of elite member?" He asked. "It's red because it's coated in blood. And not for the reason's you think." I explained ,trying to regain my self-control. "Are you going to be one of those cliché 'My families dead and im going to get my revenge' types?" he asked jokingly. "I'm not here for revenge. I am here so that I can protect people." I shot back. "Yeah ,that's what everyone here is saying. The enemy could be right next to us and no one would know." He smirked as he spoke. He was right the enemy could be next to us ,no one knew who our enemy would be. We are in a time of peace and no one is going to see the fight coming.
We both continued to bicker with each other until we heard the sound of wet boot's scrapping across the ground. I turned ,glancing behind us. I knew the sound was distant and whoever was following us had to be behind us since we were nearly at the exit. The hall was lined in darkness ,with no trace of anyone other then us being there. My heart started to pound rapidly ,the man I was with hadn't shutup since we met but ,now he was silent. I was hesitant to face forward again ,I examined the hall once again to make sure no one was around ,My eye's traced the floor and that's when I noticed there was a third shadow ,someone was standing in front of us.
With my left hand I reached for the Tonfa I kept holstered to my right thigh ,I swung the bladed side toward's the strange figure that stood next to me only to have my arm grabbed and jerked behind my back. "Calm down Alicen. " A male voice spoke in a composed tone. It was the man I saw leaning against the tree earlier. He was quite the looker up close. "You children are late for assembly. Why are you even here?" He questioned as he let me go. "What in the world are you doing here? You have no right to question us." The Faunus scoffed. "I am Kyran Rhodes ,this is the teacher's facility and I work here from time to time. Are you satisfied?" The elder man asked ,sarcastically. "Im here because I was looking for a friend." I explained. "By now most of the first-year student's are at the assembly. Which is where you should both be," He answered as he turned and walked away. Mr. Rhodes seemed so mysterious ,he must be a great Hunter.

After our encounter The tiger Fanus ,Narciso and I both started to head toward's the building the other student's were gathering. I had managed to lose him in the crowd ,I could finally escape his constant flattery. I hated when a man tried to hard to compliment me. I was making my way through all the new student's when I spotted a girl with short dark pink hair wearing a short red dress and brown cowboy boot's. That couldn't be anyone but ,Cerise.
I hurried around everyone ,trying to get to Cerise. I didn't notice any of the student's I met last night here ,there were so many people though it would be hard to spot them. I only recognized Cerise because we spent our childhood together. I heard Weiss' voice and the voice of the girl in red earlier. "You! Youre lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff." Weiss shouted. She was really being over dramatic ,you'd need more dust then what she had to be thrown off of the cliff side. "It was an accident!" The girl in red yelled back. Weiss should really learn to calm down.
I was distracted by Weiss' yelling and I hadn't been paying attention to where I was walking ,I ran into another student ,a wolf Faunus. "Tch ,Are you blind?" the student growled. "I'm sorry ,Honestly I should have been watching where I was going." I apologized. He glared at me ,his eye's were full of rage. I looked him up and down ,he was a gorgeous man. His eye's were a mix of red and blue ,not violet ;they were literally two color's swirled together. His hair was midnight black and a little longer then shoulder length. His outfit wasn't anything special just a black jacket with a wolf symbol on the back ,black jean's and black boots. "Why are you staring at me? Don't you have anything better to do?" He asked ,with anger filling his voice. "You don't have to be so rude ,you know." I sighed under my breath as I pushed my way passed him to Cerise.
Cerise looked back at me ,smiling. "Meet any cute boy's? There are some looker's here this year. If I was a new student I'd have my eye's set on the guy with the pink strip in his hair. But ,I'm pretty sure he belong's to the orange haired girl that alway's follow's him around." She chuckled. The one annoy thing about Cerise was that she was your stereotypical girl. She was interested in nothing but boy's ,that's the only reason she want's to become a huntress ,in her word's she 'Can get any guy she want's.' If she finishes her training. "Oooh! That senior with the long red hair is cute ,I don't remember him though. Maybe he's a transfer. " She said thoughtfully.
"-Ahem...I'll keep this breif." The headmaster started. "You have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But ,I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose and direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this but ,your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." He stated ,ending his speech. The blonde girl from the announcement in the airship started to speak after Ozpin left. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow you initiation begin's. Be ready. You are dismissed!" She explained.

After the speech ,I wandered around for awhile and I eventually met up with Gyne and Irisa. We talked for awhile about how we thought life would be ,while were here at Beacon. I knew it wouldn't be easy but ,there was bound to be some fun moment's. I just wondered what kind of teacher's we would get ,would they be strict or nice? After awhile of talking Gyne and Irisa left ,I don't know where the were going but ,with they way they acted around each other they had defiantly hooked up.
It was getting late and I went to rejoin Cerise in the ball room after I had changed into a long sleeveless violet gown. Normally I would wear something more revealing but ,we were all sleeping in the same room.
Cerise was comfortable around everyone though and wore black short's (that in my opinion were way to short.) And a red tube top. "There has got to be some undercover student's here or something. There's no way the headmaster would let a bunch of teenager's sleep in the same room without someone watching them." Cerise pondered. It seemed like she was trying to figure out who was watching us so she could sneak out to go her the man with red hair she was talking about earlier. "Well ,you said each team sleep's in the same room. So ,maybe they trust us enough to believe we wouldn't do anything stupid, especially with how hard the entrance exam is. Who would want to get kicked out because they were rebellious?" I questioned her. "Yeah ,I guess you're right. It would be nice to be on a team of cute boy's though." She joked. "Honestly? I really dont care if I'm on a team of girl's or guy's ,so long as I'm not on the same team as that guy I ran into earlier." I confessed ,as I put the book I was reading away. "Oh! Is that right?! Tell me ,why don't you want to be on the same team as I?" I heard HIS voice exclaim only feet away. He must've been walking by as I said that. "Well for one ,you attitude suck's." I replied as calmly as I could manage. He sat down on the sleeping bag next to me. "Are you sure it's not because I'm a Faunus?" He inquired. "You know just because my family has a bad history with the Faunus doesn't mean we all hate them!" I shouted back in defense. "Please ,princess. Spare me your sob story." He hissed. "Whoa ,Whoa You both have a lot of tension between you and it's only the first day! You should take that somewhere private!" Cerise shrieked with a laugh. We both rolled our eye's at her. "Princess! Is this mut bothering you?" A familiar Prissy sounding voice Called out. It was Narciso ,standing not far away from us. "Who are you calling a mut ,you flea bidden feline?" The wolf-Faunus Snarked. "Narciso! Stop being a pest and go to bed. You three go to bed as well." I heard Kyran shout from across the room. Despite us all being angry at each other we all put our difference's aside and went to sleep.
Well ,I didnt' fall asleep ,The room was dimly light by the moon reflecting through the window's ,I was laying face to face with the wolf-Faunus. I noticed that his symbol was also on his sleeping bag. I kept wondering to myself if I choose this spot for Cerise and I because I subconsciously saw his symbol and wanted to be near him or if it was just a coincidence. He was very beautiful ,the only un-appealing thing about him was his attitude.
I wonder ,what would I do if I was on his team? What would he do?
