Wind POV (This was supposed to be added to the last chapter but didn't so...enjoy)
I stood up on the cliff, looking out on everybody. I smiled thinking that I finally did something to prove to everyone. That's when I caught something moving on the outer edge of the forest. It was the boy, smiling. And just like that, he disappeared yet again.
???: Ruby...RUBY!
I shake my head, now in front of Professor Ozpin and beside my teammates. I turn to see Yang looking with concern.
Yang: You alright?
I realized where we were: the auditorium, being declared Team RWBY. I flash Yang a reassuring smile.
Me: I'm fine Yang. Just a little nervous I guess, being the leader and all.
Yang: Don't worry, *she bumps her hip at me, making me stumble* you'll be just fine.
The rest of the teams get announced, but I couldn't pay attention because I was focused on other things.
Me: Who was that person? Was he really a ghost? He looked like one but do ghosts have tails? Can ghosts even fight? But he had a weapon. Right, that weapon...it was so cool! The way it could switch so efficiently must mean it's well maintained. OMG!It'ssocool!!Iwanttogoandaskhimallabouthisweaponandtools.Pleasejustletthisbeoveralrea-dy!!!!
I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn. It was Professor Ozpin.
Ozpin [whisper]: Ms. Rose, can you and your team meet me in my office before heading to your dorms? It will only take a few moments.
I gave a nod before being escorted out by my teammates. Before we entered the building with dorms, I stop, making the girls look at me.
Yang: What's up? Why are you stopping?
Me: Prof. Ozpin requested us to see him before resting in the dorms for the evening. They look at each other until Weiss lets out a sigh.
Weiss: Let's just get this over with.
We head Prof. Ozpin's office and there we meet Professor Goodwitch with Prof. Ozpin.
Me: Why is she here?
Ozpin: Oh, she's here to take notes.
Goodwitch [whisper]: More like dragged here.
I resisted the urge to laugh but a few chuckles came out, giving a few stares from my team.
Ozpin: *clasps hands* So ladies, I understand you saw something unusual today. Is that true?
Yang and Blake were confused, but Weiss and I knew exactly what he meant.
Me: Weiss and I both saw someone unusual. We think he may be the rumored "Ghost of Beacon's Forest."
Prof. Goodwitch and Blake both had surprised looks while Prof. Ozpin only nodded.
Ozpin: I see...and tell me Ms. Rose, do you think the rumors are true?
Me: Well, he looked pale but very real. He also was able to interact with real objects, something we were told that ghosts couldn't do. He's been a blur to us but that could be chalked up to his semblance or him being fast since he's a type of faunist.
Everyone looks at me with more shock. Even Prof. Ozpin seemed to react with some interest.
Ozpin: I see...that would make sense. What about the other rumors, then, like the ones about the Grimm or the destroyed parts in the forest?
Me: He has the fighting skills, and I believe the strength, to make some of those rumors true, professor.
He smiles at me while Weiss looks confused.
