  Today was the day I had been training for. All my hard work, all my blood, sweat, tears, and fear all led up to this, but was I ready? I looked back to the house I was raised and only saw smiling faces. Smiling faces I... Couldn't imagine leaving. Slowly, I turned back to the waiting agents in front of me, waiting with a stern look. "I'm sorry. Can I please just... Say goodbye one last time?" I wanted to be a huntress all my life, but now that I finally got accepted, I was scared to go. How pathetic was that? The agents' nod and I let myself hurry back. Without warning, I wrapped my arms around my childhood friend. "I'm going to miss you so much. Promise you'll write, okay?" I tightened my grip.

He chuckled softly and returned the hug. "Uh, of course. They're waiting now so..." He trailed off.

Slowly, I released him and quickly wiped my eyes before he saw me cry. "Yeah, o-of course. I'll write about my studies every day and even raise some money on missions and you can come visit. It'll be like a field trip."

He didn't speak, but his eyes lit up and he nodded. I took a step back and looked to his aunt. We shared a silent smile together. With that, I inhaled heavily and marched back to the soldiers. The ship waiting for me was a bit small, but I didn't mind. As we piled on, the seats were taken and I made myself comfortable by the window. After the soldiers were ready, I felt it rumble to life and jumped for a second before it raised itself off the ground and took to the sky. Looking out the window, I felt like a bird. I'd never been in one of these things before, I didn't even know how to feel. Scared, lonely, wondrous, I was swirling with emotions.
All my life, I hadn't left that place, but now I'm going to one of the biggest schools to become a huntress. It's dangerous and scary but I know it's what I was meant to do.
I let out a sigh and closed my eyes, thinking back on it all.
I had only been a baby when my parents were killed by Grimm. They had ambushed our house but I was so small, hidden under my blankets and asleep, I went unnoticed. It was my friend's aunt who found me a few days later when she went to investigate the damage. With nowhere to go, I was raised by her on the farm.
I don't know much about my parents, but I visit the house once to try and find what I could. I had discovered they were both Huntsman and after that, I just started to train and work to live up to them. I almost felt a sense of relief after I got the acceptance letter after applying. I know my friend there wasn't happy about it, but I kept telling myself I would be fine. His name... I continued to repeat it in my head. His name... It was Oscar, my closest friend. Well, my only friend but he would still be my closest if I had others. He wasn't like me at all because while I was practicing every day, he was just a normal farmer. He didn't even want anything to do with fighting. I could respect that, but I know what I wanted.
I felt my body start to get sleepy and decided to take a nap on the ride, slipping my consciousness into the dream world.
It felt like no time had passed when I felt myself being shaken awake. I tried to shrug it off and sleep some more but the hand shook me again. As I opened my eyes, I was met with a new face. I quickly realized the ship was no longer moving and the soldiers were gone. Leaning over the seats was an unfamiliar man trying to wake me. When he saw I was up, me man smiled and stood up. "Ah, you're finally up. Good afternoon, ms. (y/n). Come." He beckoned me to get out, and I crawled up from the seat, falling to the ground. He set his hand on my shoulder and smiled. I realized it was nighttime already, and from the large building in front of me, I could only guess this was the school. I suddenly started to feel excited and looked back to the man. His silver hair was the first thing I caught, then his glasses, making his green eyes shine. "You probably know who I am already. Welcome to Beacon." He held his hands behind his back. I gave a thankful nod, trying hard to hide my excitement. Of course, I knew who he was, it just took me a moment. His name was Professor Ozpin, Headmaster of Beacon Academy. I had heard from the books how powerful and respected he was so seeing him now was a bit intimidating.
