RWBY: The story of team CAMO

Chapter 8 The truth and a decision

Still to this today i have only had nightmares about that night in those woods, not knowing what was really true i thing i have an idea of what happened. It scares me to thing that i could be capable of something like that, my old man had said to me that sometimes when you're hurt and in a lot of stress a person can't help what they are doing but is solely relying on instinct, i have only talked with my old man about them, not a single word to Musket or Olivia about these nightmares or truths anyway back to the story.

So i woke up in the morning of the sound of birds, still i was laying in the dirt of the forest trying to make seines of what had happened but atlas i could not remember a thing. The sky was so beautiful and the forest was at peace with a lazy frost of wind in the tree tops, at least in the trees that was still standing. Laying in the dirt i thought about what i remember had happened, that Cinder was gone, she had gone with that woman in white and i needed to admit to an awful truth, Cinder is gone and whatever is going on i need to grow up for real this time beginning with getting in contact with my dad Ozpin, he would maybe know more. I got up and looked around and a small aria was absolute chaos, did i do this?

After hours of walking i finally got back to the academy, i opened the door to team CAMO's room and was met by eyes of worry and relive but there i stood with small wounds all across my body and dust from the dirt all over my clothes. The deeper wound on my arm had closed up and become a scar, it was not the prettiest but it was a remainder of what took place that night. Olivia and Musket both wanted to know what had happened of course and from the beginning to end i told them everything i knew had happened.

Both of them had a face that they didn't believe me first but who can judge them? What had happened was not only unbelievable but overwhelming as well. We all sat quiet in our room with Musket standing there like frozen in ice, Olivia just sat on her bed holding her dress with buth hand and was not able to look anyone in the eye but nor could i, looking through the window out on the school yard with a unbreakable serious face, a face i think i had never done before. The silence was long but there was nothing to say, whatever this is going on i somewhat knew my old man would know something about it and i didn't want to wind up Olivia and Musket in whatever this is. Musket took a firm grip around his gun and put it on his back and asked.

- So are we going after her or are we just going to let her go?

Me and Olivia looked towards Musket with questions in our eyes.

-What? i knew those eyes, there are the same as man who going to get himself killed doing whatever you are planning alone.

Olivia turned her head towards me and with just one small eye contact she realized it as well. She looked scared first but that changed fast to a understanding expression, she stood up and crossed her arms, that was a clear sign that even if i tried she would not take any of it.

-So what is going to be, Captain? Said Musket with a smile on his face who had noticed Olivia's crossed arms.

-Captain?

-Yes well you are the next letter in CAMO right? It's only fair that you take over until our real leader comes back.

Their faces said everything, even if i would say no they would still follow me anyway.

-You both must know that i know nothing more then i have told you? Whatever this is it will be dangerous and most likely include fighting a lot of Grimm and people and who knows what, there will also be a big risk of us dying.

-We are future hunters, fighting Grimm is what we have trained for and yes while death is a possibility that is a price i will pay to see to other people safe, all people can't defend them self.

-Musket is right. My dream is to fight Grimm to the future children like my little brother would not need to said Olivia calm with a smile on her face.

-So what is our first step Captain?

I could only wonder how unbelievable they where sounding but still i was glad. I told them that my father would maybe knew something so our first step was to get in contact with him.

When we got in contact with my father i explained the situation and everything that had happened. I demanded that if he knew anything he would tell us, i told him about how i was snaking around when i was little and listened to his late night meetings and the friend i had lost. I was already involved in this so i needed clear answers.

My dad who often felt like he was talking in riddles explained who the woman in white was and now i could put a face to the name Salem that i had heard so many times, he explained the phenomena that happened in the tournament when the white cracks as ''the silver-eyed warriors'' he also told a little about the ''organization'' and their goal, though sounding insane we were not surprised anymore about the things we heard and like anything you would want an answer for, when my old man had got us up to speed we had gotten answers but mostly more questions. Ozpin told us that there was more to learn but he would not share over the scroll but that we needed to come back to beacon.

-wow, i knew that the Grimm is not our only problem but this? We are really in for a battle now said Musket with a stiff body and with his shoulders up to his ears.

Both Olivia and Musket looked at me with the question on what do we do now? I gave it some thought and decided that first of all we would graduate from the academy and becoming fully fledged hunters. We would take this two weeks for preparation and travel back to beacon and stand as warriors for my dad and help him in any way we could just like i intended to do from the start only that i had now two friends with me.

The two weeks we had to prepare for our journey was full packet with preparation, we had no lessons left but only two weeks to celebrate that we where soon to graduate. All last years had made a huge festival on the school yard and everyone except us was in full celebration mode. Musket spent the time on his backpack like maintenance and was thinking about future upgrades for his gear, Musket would not underestimate anyone form this point and was training hard to keep him ready for any fight. Olivia called home and explained that she had gotten a job so she would not come home directly after she had graduated, she told us that her little brother had been really disappointed but also heard that her brother Jaune would try for beacon next year when he was at age.

Olivia was not hard to read when it came to her being worried of something and cracked a joke about how she hoped he would not be good enough, not like hers test results that was close to perfect then she asked if she was potentially a bad sister. We all had a good laugh that day, it not that often Olivia is the one who brightens the mood. Meanwhile i was searching any information about this silver-eyed warriors in the library and maybe i would find a way to use this to my advantage, the only books that mention people with special powers like silver-eyed warriors was old fairy tale books for kids. My old man had told us about the tale of the four maidens and how not all fairy tale books was made up so why not give these a shot?

The weeks past and we finally graduated and for us who was honored the best team of our graduation year had a special ceremony but even so roomers had began to surface about Cinder and Ms.Mera and how they had not been seen sense the tournament. We stood quiet, we knew that we could not tell anyone about what had happened especially now when we didn't know who could be an enemy. We packed our stuff and was soon on our way to beacon, we had decided that we would not take the aircraft but that we would travel by foot to start our real training along the way as hunters. Sure we had our hunter title but we knew we needed real experience fighting bandits and Grimm along the way to show that we where real hunters through honing our skills. Me myself was experimenting on how to summon this silver-eye thingy by my own accord.

Our journey towards Beacon academy had begun.
