CMSN: RWBY Reversal

Cinder Meets Salem

Cinder had a frown on her face as she was seated in a chair waiting for the Huntsman to come back. She's been here for about a half hour with still no answer or permission to go back to her rented apartment. She wished they would hurry up since she didn't want to be here anymore than she needed to be, and she still needed to call her father and reassure him that she was fine.

'This is taking longer than normal, it's just a simple report of a young woman trying to stop a firebombing nothing more. Then again, when it comes to paperwork, it can take up a matter to hours which is foolish for something that's so simple to be this complicated.' She thought while pressing her fingers to brow in annoyance.

Taking her mind off it, she decided to look around the station. Not much going on, there weren't that many officers in the building and there was only a select few still in the station. Other than the occasional chatter there was nothing that caught her attention, at least until she spotted her.

Her eyes gazing over to the corner of the room, standing there was about a girl her age with her arms crossed. What caught Cinder's attention was the mint-colored hair that girl had and her red eyes that shined like a gem.

The expression on her face looked like she was bored, wanting to be anywhere rather than here at the station. Cinder then noticed the girl's eyes slowly opened and her head peered upwards, staring right at back at her.

She quickly looked away pretending to look at something else. The mint-haired teen stared at her for a few more moments before letting out a sigh and then walked away from the area.

Cinder slowly looked back over to the area where she saw the girl only to find that she left and let out a sigh. She didn't mean to stare but the sight of her hair color was very intriguing. It's not every day where one would see a mint-hair color. Then again, she never really was a social person.

'Maybe next time instead of just staring at someone, just take a quick peek and move on.' She thought as she scolded herself. At the same time, Hazel had just arrived back from where he came from.

"Little one." He called out, earning her attention as she gazed up at him. "I apologize for making you wait, had a small inconvenience to deal with."

"It's fine." She waved off, not wanting to show him that she was really annoyed and wanted to leave. "Am I free to go?"

"Actually..." Hazel started causing her to frown. ".... there is someone that would like to speak to you. They say you are familiar with them."

Cinder raised an eyebrow at this, there were only a small circle of people who knew about her and that circle is very small.

"May I ask who this individual is?"

"They rather meet you in person."

"Fine. Just take me to them." She relented.

Hazel simply nodded his head, not at fazed by her irritation.

"Right this way." He signaled as the younger woman sat up and followed the man. The direction led them out of the main room and up the stairs to the second floor. Heading down the hall, Cinder couldn't help but feel a bit nervous about this meeting.

Who else could've known about her? Is this because of what she did for attempt to stop a crime? It's not like anyone else was around to do it.

Or was it about her investigation on Spider, sure she's been a bit relentless in her pursuit of them but everything about them has been dark, not giving her any leads.

Or was it about....

Cinder shivered as that last suggestion that came to her head. She hated it as it would remind her of memories, memories that she wished she could forget. But you know what they say... the past never forgets.
