Chapter 5

Neo POV

I was walking through Beacon with Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury.

I was looking for any sign of our mystery attacker. Even if it's a coincidence, an ice semblance sounds like Y/n.

I separated from the group and just looked around. Strangely little red seemed a little unhappy. And definitely different from how Roman explained her.

I decided to ignore that and make my way to the library. Cinder has been planning to hack the school to get her hands on the student files. But I want to see if I can find anything myself.

While walking I was thinking about him. I haven't heard from him in a while. I knew he was having trouble, so I assumed he died. I tried as hard as I could to find him, or maybe what was left of him, for years, before I eventually gave up.

But even over the years I couldn't stop thinking about him. I always hoped he would be OK.

But now, there might be a chance for me to find him again.

As I made it to the library, I started the research, I was also nervous about meeting him again. Would he want to see me again? After all this time, how much would he accept who I've become?

Dammit! I guess it didn't matter, given my results gave me nothing. I probably won't find him anyway. Though I could ask Cinder to help.

I got out my scroll to text her.

Neo: I have a theory about our attacker. If you learn anything about a boy named Y/n I need you to tell me

Cinder: I'm on it. But you are to explain this to me later. Got it?

Neo: Yes

Y/n POV

I went to the bathroom in the cabin and started work dying my hair.

I couldn't allow Neo to recognize me.

I put the red dye into there. As I kept applying it, I heard a voice.

'We don't need to hide'

I turned around, expecting to see someone in the room with me. But nothing. I was alone in the bathroom.

Whatever. It must be the stress. I turned off the sink and left.

Once that was done I picked up the sword and began to head back into the forest to kill grimm. It was a good way to work on the new things Raven taught me.

It was good to be able to be more independent. Moving from learning directly from Raven to applying it in combat, and now I learned how to actually fight. Something Beacon never taught me.

While killing them I kept thinking about Neo again. I was so afraid about her. I shouldn't. I shouldn't care about Neo again. But I was afraid anyway. I wanted to reunite with her because I care, but after Coco, I can't do it again.

It did feel good to let out stress on the grimm.

I was looking forward to tonight where I could train with Raven again. She was always harsh on me, but she was actually teaching me. She actually cared.

Third POV

Cinder began looking around Beacon, attempting to find anything about Y/n.

It was a nightmare trying to find anything on him. But thanks to some old teacher's documents that Emerald was able to steal among other information Cinder was able to gather by asking around.

She managed to find Y/n's old dorm room after finding out that he was a student here. She told Neo where to find it.

But Cinder made an effort to find him when she looked for someone he was apparently close to.

"Coco Adel?" Cinder approached her. "I need to ask you something. Do you have time?" she asked.

"Sure. What do you need?" Coco asked

"What happened to Y/n?"
