Team RELM: Darkness Ascension

Chapter 4: Skirmish at the docks

I've been with team RELM for a few weeks. Those few weeks have been pretty enjoyable but I'm not sure if Eagle can say the same. Eagle and Marissa always seem to be at each other's throat, both figuratively and literally.

Roland and I do find some of their arguments funny, especially since they seem to a act like a married couple. I usually keep that one to myself though because the last time I said to them I found myself being dangling upside out of our dorm window while Marissa is holding my leg.

Thankfully their not like that during battles. When in fights those two become two different people, mainly Marissa. When she fights she always has this cold and emotionless expression, it's almost scary but once you see it enough times you get used to.

I also spent some time with Blake, my step-sister though the first time we actually had an actually had a conversation she was beyond angry with me because I left without saying a thing to anybody.

"You were supposed to follow the plan Leo! We were going to leave together as family, that was the promise we made to each other!" She yelled as she clenched her fist shooting daggers at me.

I stood there silent with a sad expression on my face with my hands in my pockets. She was right I broke our promise and I didn't follow the plan.

"And it didn't help that you were purposely avoiding any type of contact with me, Leo!" She yelled again and I stood there silent still not sure what to say in the slightest.

"I worried about you Leo." She said started to calm down.

"When you left I thought something bad happened to you. I begged Adam to even send a search party after you. I was scared my little brother was hurt or worse" she said with now a slight sad expression on her face now I even heard her voice even break a little.

Thats when I suddenly was turned slightly and brought into a very tight hug which made me flinch a little but eventually I hugged her back.

"I'm sorry sis. It won't happen ever again." I finally said to her.

Just as I said that I felt her let go and push me slightly to face me this time with a serious frown on her face.

"You promise?" She said with a caring but serious tone in her voice. "I promise." I answered.

This made her do a small smile on her face now. "Good, now I have to get back to my team there's something I've been regrettably hiding from them and I think it's time to tell." She said slowly walking away.

"Wait what are you going to tell them exactly?" I asked with somewhat of a worried tone. "About my faunus half." She answered. I could hear the sound of fright in her voice. "Don't worry to much about it Blake I'm sure they'll understand." I said giving her a reassuring smile.

She then smiles back but it immediately changes to a
Slight curious expression. "Which begs the question of when are you going to tell your team about your faunus half Leo." She said.

I just stood there for a moment thinking of what to say then sighed looking back at her.

"I'll wait a bit longer before I decide to tell them about it." I answered rubbing the back of my head. She then returned the reassuring smile I gave her earlier.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine." She said before walking away. "See you later wolf boy." She said waving goodbye as she went to her dorm.

Wolf boy something she always called me back when I first met her ever since then it's been a staple thing for her to say to tease me. I felt a lot of weight just drop after that conversation I felt good.
