"I-Isn't the Elemental Heart a myth" I said stuttering just a bit. "Besides, it's a dust crystal, not a person."

"Than explain this." He puts a touch pad in frost of my. It was my performance today in class.

"It's my fight in class" I say, trying to cover up my nervousness. "What does this have to do with anything?"

"Look at your feet". He's caught me red-handed.

"I don't see anything"

"You pass". I get a confused face and Ozpin gives a small, amused smile. "Silver, I knew your parents." My eyes widen.

"Wha...how..." I start spitting out random words. My emotion is rising and I can feel it.

"I was testing you to see if you are strong enough to not reveal your identity. I know you have trained yourself over the years, but you must be careful of who you trust. I told a few students about you being the heart."

"You WHAT!?" I slam my hands on the paper-filled desk. before I could say anything, he out his hand up to silence me.

"They are going to protect you. Does your team know?" I nod. "You will be under someone's watch at all times." I stand up straight and a glare painted itself on my face.

"I AM NOT A HELPLESS CHILD ANYMORE!!" I yell with anger. The earth below me shook the tiniest bit. A large gust blew through the room with black flames engulfing my hair.

"Silver, you have to ca-"

"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!: I AM SICK AND TIRED FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW OF MY POWER TREATING ME LIKE I STILL AM THE LITTLE GIRL I WAS! I-I-I..." I went on my knees and tears fell. "I'm tired of people treating me like I'm special once they find out. They protect me because I am the Elemental Heart, not because I am their friend. My team are not the only people who know, but they protect me because I am me." My hair retracts its flames.

"Silver," blondie starts. "We are trying to protect you because the White Fang is here in Vale." Oh no. No, this can't be happening. "You don't have almost no training with using your powers so we need to make sure you don't give any sign that you are here." I stand up and give a look of shame.

"I'm sorry for my behavior."

"You may go to lunch. Your team is probably waiting for you". I exit the office without another word. The White Fang are here in Vale. I need to get out of this city as soon as possible.
