Sage ran through the forest as fast as she could. Her lungs burned from running so much, a sharp pain grew on the side of her head as she felt something warm drip down the side of her face, her vision blurred, her body urged her to stop and rest 'I can't stop... I have to keep running... I have to get help.' She thought, the next village over from her house wasn't to far if she kept running.

However it wasn't long before her legs finally gave out and she collapsed on the ground... face first.

She crawled up to the nearest tree and sat there for a moment gasping for air. Her vision grew even worse by the second, she brought her hand up to the side of her face to find out what the odd warm liquid was only to see it was blood. Her hand slumped down as her vision gave a final blur before everything around her went black. There was a sudden light and her vision became clear again, she looked up to see where the light had come from only to see a woman in a white hood, wearing white and blue clothing, and had two long white braids. Her hood that covered her head, shadowed part of her face but did not shadow her aquamarine-ish blue eyes and her sweet smile.

"Why hello little one, what are you doing out her in this time of night?" She asked, Sage stayed silent "You could have been attacked by Grimm." She added, that's when she noticed the blood dripping down the side of her face, she reached her hand down to move the her hair away so she could see the cut however Sage moved away. "It's alright, let me just see the cut on your face."

Sage relaxed as the woman moved her bangs out of the way, her eyes went wide as she gazed at the cut. The cut was in the shape of a crescent moon, the woman's smile grew

"May I ask... is your father a faunas?"  She asked, Sage nodded 'How does she know?' Sage thought, "I see... mine was to."

"Was your mom a human as well?" Sage dared to ask

"Yes, she was." The woman answered then stood up and held out her hand "Come with me, little one."

"But I need to get help." Sage said getting up, the woman's smile was replaced with a frown

"It's no use... he is already gone and the men have already left, they gave up running after you after their boss told them to stop, so they could finish what they had come there for." The woman admitted

"How did you-"

"I know everything that goes on in the night." The woman interrupted then held out her hand again "Now come with me and I'll give you the answers to you questions." The woman said, this time Sage took her hand and followed the woman.

Sage woke up gasping for air as sweat dripped down her face, she looked outside only to see it was still night. She looked around, she was still in her dorm room with her new teammates fast asleep, the clock on her scroll read 3:45 in the morning.

'I wish I would stop having that dream.' She thought as she touched the crescent moon shaped scar on her face that was always covered by her bangs.

Though she called it a dream... it was really a memory. The woman she'd met that night wasn't some ordinary woman that you saw everyday on the streets.

'Well! There's no way I'm going back to sleep. Might as well try to walk it off.' She thought as she put on a coat and some boots and left the room, making sure to be extra quiet so she wouldn't wake her new team.

For some reason she had been having that re-accruing memory for the past two weeks and even though Sage already had trouble sleeping at night, this re-accruing dream/memory... wasn't really helping.

Sage walked around the school grounds for awhile before she began to feel tired again 'I should probably get back to the dorm.' She thought when she heard a twig snap behind her. She spun around to see who it was "Who's there?" She demanded, there was no answer when suddenly a squirrel ran out of the bushes to get to a tree "Oh... wow I'm getting way to paranoid." She muttered under her breath as she turned back around and walked back to her dorm.

However someone truly was behind the bushes "That was close." They whispered

"This the last time I'm ever working with you Mercury."

"And this is the last I'm ever working with you Emerald and the last time I'm doing a job for another one Salem's followers."He snapped, 'But we'v only ever worked for one and that was Cinder.' Emerald thought

"Whatever... we have what we need. let's just get out of here." She said holding up a document

A/n: this was basically a filler chapter I decided to put in and also so no one gets confused this the night before everyone's first day of classes, the profiles on the rest of Teams SOLR and CBLT aren't even close to being finished yet, so because they're taking a lot longer than expected... instead of having them all in a bunch like I was originally going to do... I decided to just write new chapters and upload each of the profile chapters when there done.
