BEACON INFIRMARY TWO DAYS LATER GLYNDA'S POV

I sat in a chair watching (Y/N) and miss Nikos as they slept, I couldn't help but feel somewhat uneasy as I looked at them sleeping peacefully in the beds I had kept a constant vigil on those two as they were asleep.

Their friends came to visit them during their free time although it seemed that miss Long would always want to stay longer, she would stare at (Y/N) with a look of longing and a sad frown on her face.

And I don't know if I was being paranoid but sometimes I could swear I felt a prescence close by, I couldn't tell if it was a student or someone else...

Every time I left for a reason whether it was for food, a cup of coffee or to use the bathroom I swore I could feel eyes on me, and everytime I came back I'd see something flash around the corner and vanish before I could catch it.

Today I was sitting between the beds grading test scores on my scroll, Ozpin had Dr. Oobleck cover my classes as I had to look over the two students I suddenly felt like I was going to burst and it wouldn't go away no matter how much I tried to ignore it.

I stood up and walked out of the room to find the bathroom again, this time I had left the camera on my scroll turned on, if our mysterious shadow visited again I would catch it in the act!

(Y/N)'S POV

I opened my eyes and immediately shut them from the bright lights in my eyes, my eyes finally adjusted to the room and I sat up in an unfamiliar bed I looked over and saw Pyrrha sleeping on her side on another bed, I knew that I was in an infirmary from the medical equipment I saw on the desk.

"Well, I guess unlocking my aura was more straining than I thought" I said to myself as I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up, I walked over to the side of Pyrrha's bed closing the curtains around the other bed and brushed a stray hair out of her face and behind her ear, she leans into my hand while still asleep with a smile on her face.

"Heh... well that's adorable, she's dreaming about me" I said as I made my way towards the desk and wrote a little note for her, I wrote it quickly and placed it in her hand normally I wouldn't be so considerate but I did feel a new power awaken inside me and I was eager to experiment with it!

I walked towards the door and left the infirmary, walking down the hallway and out of the door to the courtyard, I was eager to try and test my new abilities and knew just the place to go...

PYRRHA'S POV

I opened my eyes and was immediately confused, I was laying down facing a drawn curtain in a sterile white room that I recognised as the infirmary, I looked around and saw that I was alone and sat up in my bed.

"Ah, miss Nikos, your awake" came the voice of miss Goodwitch as she walked into the room with a relieved smile.

"Ummm... yes, how did I get here?" I asked still quite confused.

"Your friends brought you here, you and mister (L/N) passed out after you unlocked his aura, I can assume that you must have succeeded in your attempt..." miss Goodwitch said with a raised brow as she looked towards the closed curtain.

"Oh my..." I said to myself as memories of the things I saw after I unlocked (Y/N)'s aura, it was scary yet so beautiful and I couldn't help but feel a little strange, as if something deep inside me had been profoundly changed, I felt strange things around me almost like an echo...

"Now all we need is for mr (L/N) to-" miss Goodwitch said as she walked over and pulled the curtain aside, her eyes widened in surprise when she saw an empty bed with no (Y/N) in it.

"Where did he go!?" she yelled in a moment of lost composure, as I sat up more I felt something in my hand and opened my hand, in it was a folded up piece of paper which I opened to find a well written note.

{ Hello Pyrrha }

{ If your reading this then I've woken up before you }

{ Thanks for unlocking my aura for me, I will be more than happy to show you some new moves in private, for now I'll go and test out my new power }

{ Talk to you later (Y/N) }

I smiled a little at the note, then I heard miss Goodwitch huff in annoyance I looked over and saw that she was looking at something on her scroll, she had a very disapproving look on her face as I saw a reversed image of (Y/N) touch my hair, write that note then leave.

"What a reckless young man! Where has he gone?" miss Goodwitch said with a disapproving glare.

"Uhm miss Goodwitch? I think I know where he's gone" I said as I held up the note he wrote for me, she took it and skimmed over it quickly before growling and pulling up her scroll.

"Professor Ozpin, miss Nikos and mr (L/N) have woken up, but it seems that mr (L/N) has left" she said into the scroll, she nodded her head a few times and hung up.

"Miss Nikos, are you able to stand?" she asked me with a stern expression.

"Y-Yes, I think I can" I replied nervously.

"Good, you, your team, and team RWBY will join me in the search for mr (L/N), we can't have him injuring himself further" miss Goodwitch said taking her riding crop out of the waist band of her skirt.

I felt worry come into my mind at the thought of (Y/N) hurting himself so soon after waking up, I was secretly hoping that I would find him first so I could ask him about that dream I had.

"Come along miss Nikos, we'd best go find him fast" miss Goodwitch said as I put my feet onto the ground and followed after her, we walked outside and were greeted by my teammates and team RWBY who all looked happy to see me.

"PYRRHA!" came the excited voices of both Nora and Ruby who tackled me into the ground with big hugs I could barely breath with two sets of arms crushing the air out of me.

"OhmygoshI'mso happyyourawakeIwassoworried!" they both said in rapid voices.

"Uhm... Nora, Ruby I don't think she can breath" Jaune said, the two looked at me and saw my face turning red from the crushing embrace.

"Oh, sorry!" Ruby said as she quickly stood back up with an embarrassed blush on her face.

Nora reluctantly released me and pulled me back up onto my feet, Jaune and Ren came over and asked me if I was okay and I told them I was.

"Ahem! If you are all done, we must get to finding mr (L/N)" miss Goodwitch said in an authoritative tone.

"Wait what! (Y/N)'s gone?!" Yang suddenly yelled, surprising everyone.
