Ex Chapter 3: Curiosity Killed the Cat

It was a dark and rainy night in Vale. While most students were already asleep, Team RWBY and WOLF were wide awake in their dorm, with Ruby busy telling a scary story to them, one that has been trending around Beacon for a while.

Ruby: "The mirror in front of the storage room on the first floor of the Beacon Academy dorm is cursed. Do not look into it late at night. The devil resides inside it. Those who look into it are dragged inside... WAH!!"  She lunged at Weiss to amplify the scare factor. It didn't work that well however as everyone was quiet and staring at her.  "And they you never come back. It's scary, right?"

Winter: "Not really."

Summer: "Nope."

Weiss: "If you're a child, maybe. Sure, it's scary."

Yang: "Not even Zwei was frightened by that tired old story, right Zwei?"  She asked the little corgi, who barked in response and hopped into her lap. Setsuna then tapped Yang on the shoulder. The blonde looked at her to see her pointing towards Spring and Autumn, who seemed to be... shaking.  "You two are scared, aren't you?"

Spring: "EEP!"  She instantly latched onto the arm of her brother Akito, who sighed and pat her head.

Autumn: "M-Me? Scared of such a fake story?? H-HMPH! Don't be ridiculous!"  She crossed her arms and pointed her nose upwards in an obvious attempt to look offended.

Akito: "Sis. Stop trying to act like Weiss."

Weiss and Autumn: "Hey!"

Weiss: "Anyways."  She looked back at Ruby.  "Screaming at the end is an old trick too."

Ruby: "It's not old! It's a recent story! Ace literally told me about it this evening!"

Weiss: "He's probably sayin that to mess with you!"  But then, the feline Faunus, who was quiet this entire time, spoke up while not removing her eyes from her book.

Blake: "I've heard the story about that mirror too."  Everyone looked at her.

Akito: "You did?"

Blake: "Yeah. People are talking about it a lot. A couple of kids are actually missing."

Winter: "Wait... So it's actually true...?"  She questioned as Weiss, Summer and Autumn's eyes widened in surprise while Spring just hugged her brother's arm tighter

Ruby: "See? I told you!"

Blake: "I don't know. Maybe people just need a story to get their minds off things. The Grimm have been far more active lately since the Breach, so people are antsy."

Akito: "I mean, you do have a point. But at this point, if it was a Grimm, then I wouldn't be surprised since they're getting more and more terrifying. Trust me. Setsu can vow for that one."  He said to which the Arctic Wolf girl nodded with a Troubled expression.
