RWBY: Beacon's Finest Students

Ch. 5 Son of a Wolf

The clouds slowly moved through Beacon Academy as another day emerged through the gloomy atmosphere the sky showed upon the campus. Many students woke to the news of what had happened yesterday, as it gradually spread throughout the school. Many were wondering about whether or not they should be concerned of the danger the White Fang poses on their campus. As students began preparing for the day, Team Malachite once again, are inside the medical bay. Momo woke up in bed, feeling lifeless after the chaotic situation last night. She turns to look at Clipse, seeing if she was alright and wasn't heavily wounded.

Momo: ... Clipse?

Clipse was looking out the window near her bed. She didn't sleep at all throughout the night, leaving her eyes bloodshot and glazed over. However, she snapped back into reality, and looked over to Momo.

Clipse: ...you alright?

Momo: *expressionless*  Yeah. What about you?

Clipse: I...I'll survive. I'm just glad that bullet of yours went straight through my leg, and didn't hit any bone.

Momo: Well... I'm usually good with my aim... I guess this time I wasn't.

Clipse: You did the right thing...if you did anything else, we would have still been in that forest...

Momo: *sigh*  I wish that it was just a dream that became a nightmare... Do you think what she said was true? ... W-was my parents... killed and buried under their farm... *trying her best to hold back her tears but her voice was wavering*

Clipse: ...It's true, Momo...she gave us all the information...all the evidence while avoiding both of our eyes. It wasn't a trick, or any hallucination.

Momo: B-but we can't trust her! *anger growing in her voice*  She is part of the White Fang... W-what if they are lying - to mess with us!? Murasaki didn't even had a clue that his parents would do such a thing! He's not even involved with the White Fang...

Clipse: The years I've known Emerald, she can use the truth to mess with people's heads. Whether it was her own priority to warn us about him, or not...those facts were true.

Momo: But she said she has to look straight at you... I don't know!! It just can't be true! My gut tells me so!

Clipse: Momo, I don't know anymore!!

Clipse quickly got up, and flipped the bed over on its side. Her leg and hands were screaming out in pain, but she ignored it.

Clipse: You think I didn't want to know that the orphanage I grew up in, practically raising the kids inside that hellhole, burned down to the ground because of his parents?! I...I don't know what to think anymore!

Momo: ... None of us wanted to hear all of this... It was so sudden, but we shouldn't have acted so rash. We need to all talk this out soon...

As the two of them continued to talk to each other, Professor Ozpin walked into the room checking on the entire team.

Ozpin: Good morning ladies. How are you two recovering from yesterday..?

Momo: *slowly sits up on the bed and looks at Ozpin with a weak smile* G'morning... I'm doing alright.

Ozpin: That is good to hear Miss Tarou, and you Miss Harrow?

Clipse gave the Professor a sour glance while turning her attention back outside the window.

Clipse: Peachy...

Ozpin: I see, well with your information, we were able to keep vigilance of Miss Sustrai if she ever returns on campus. But with this, your teammate, Murasaki, is in critical condition due to substantial blood loss. Luckily, the bullet barely missed his heart by less than an inch, so he should be ok. Don't worry about the damages, despite Glynda's, unhappy nature, I won't make you clean up the mess again...
