Infamous: Conduits and Huntsman

Chapter 4: Early training

Dream~

"Mummy!" A little boys voice could be heard.

A woman with white hair in a piggy tail and white opal eyes wearing a blue dress came out after hearing the boy's cry. "What's wrong Dan- oh my god! Jakob get out here!"

A man with a torn brown robe and messy black hair came out of an old cottage and went wide eyed. There stood little Daniel with paper coming off his hands and more paper floating around him.

No..." The man mumbled. He began slowly going towards the boy "Daniel look at me."

Little Daniel looked at his father and stepped back everytime his father took a step forward "Stay back! I don't want to hurt you!" He said.

"You won't." Jakob got closer trying his best to ignore the pain of the paper around Daniel cutting into his flesh. He saw an opening and rolled towards Daniel and hugged Daniel. Daniel froze up "Breath in and out slowly my son." Daniel slowly lowered his hands and took a few deep breaths, The paper around them started to slowly go down before finally dispersing "good boy." Jakob said before touching Daniel on the forehead causinghis hand to glow blue and make Daniel sleepy. Before he started to drift off, he heard his parents mension something about 'D.U.P' and 'conduits'.

He saw his Dad look at him and shake his head "they won't take him too." He heard his father say before everything went black.

Reality~

Daniel opened his eyes a little. He saw nothing but a blur indicating he's barley still awake. He blinked a few times and rubbed his eyes and yawned. Once his vision was more clearer he saw a little light from the door. He squinted his eyes and saw the door slightly left open. Daniel scanned the room for any signs of trespassers. He saw nothing except for Ruby's bed empty, oh no. Did she get kidnapped? He thought. Daniel slowly got up making sure not to make any sound to wake the others up but was stopped when he felt something pull his arm down. He looked and saw the cuffs. He looked at Weiss and "psst. Weiss...Weiss!" He whispered. Weiss let out a little sound and turned her body around facing the wall. Danile sighed and looked at his hand that was handcuffed man. Welp. Guess there goes one way to prove they can trust me. Suddenly Daniel's hand fell off and turned into scraps of paper. He moved the cuffs away and put his arm at the scraps of paper which attatched itself back to Daniel making his hand reform. After moving his fingers around he got up and grabbed his jacket and exited the dorm.

Campus grounds~

Daniel started running around the school looking for Ruby. He checked the cafeteria first, Then the class rooms, the Auditorium, Even the rooftops. He sat over the edge of the roof of the dormitories and started to think. Then something caught his eye. He saw something light up in the gym. He jumped off the roof and started to make his way to the gym.

He opened the gym and looked around. He smelt something burning and found that the source of the smell was from a couple of training bots. They had holes in each of them. One with a hole in its head. Another with a hole in its chest and the last with its legs shot off. He crouched down to see that the holes had burn marks around them. He got up from crouching and thought weird.

Bang!

Daniel froze up as he heard the shot and the bullet pass by him. He looked to his side and saw fire where the bullet hit. He then looked to his other side and saw Ruby looking through her scope then put it down and have a worried face. "Oh my god! I'm sorry Daniel!"

She ran over to him when he held onto his heart "I just saw my life flash before my very eyes!" He said.

"I'm sorry! I thoight you were a bot!" Ruby said.
