The Child of Grimm (Rewritten)

Chapter 2: Family

(Opening Theme: RWBY V3 Opening-When It Falls Performed By Casey Lee Williams)

The rays of the sun leaked through the windows into the room of team RWBY, all of them being sound asleep despite the fact that the sun was rising and the birds sounded lively. Destiny had been the first to stir awake as she set up letting out a yawn. She moved her eyepatch and the eye that had been underneath, before doing the same with the other. When she looked around, she was a bit taken back from the surroundings as well as the people, but after a while it had come back to her when she saw Cristal sleeping across from her.

"Right... Cristal and I are at Beacon."

She got out of bed and went to pick up her bag; she had been careful as to not wake up any of the others as she made her way to the bathroom that had been provided, shutting the door behind her. She removed the eyepatch before she turned on the water, splashing some of it on her face. She looked into the mirror taking a moment to look at her eye that had been hidden with her eyepatch. She soon looked into her bag where her medicine had been.

"It's starting to run out..." She said with a worried expression on her face.

She soon jumped when she heard a knock at the door. Destiny went to grab her eyepatch but stopped when the door opened, revealing a familiar girl with a red eye.

"It's just me Princess." Cristal said shutting the door behind her, "No need to get all jumpy."

Destiny let out a sigh of relief when she realized it just been Cristal. "Don't surprise me like that." Destiny told her, "You know I get scared easily."

Cristal let out a giggle, "Sorry, I just love to see the look on your face." She soon looked around through the bathroom before spotting a hairbrush on the sink. "Why don't I get the tangles out of your hair?" Cristal said picking up the brush, "It's been awhile since I gave you a good brushing."

"Sure." Destiny said with a shrug before turning over to the mirror.

Cristal soon stood behind her before she gently ran the brush through the strands of her hair as she started to hum to herself. Destiny couldn't help but enjoy the way it felt as she felt the strands detangle itself. As she did this she couldn't help but look into the mirror, her expression softening a bit when she looked at her own reflection. She knew eventually her and Cristal would have to tell them about their father, though she had been sure they heard of his reputation. She played out every scenario in her head, though they always ended the same.

With the two of them getting kicked out; It was the only thing she could think about.

Her anxiety rose even more when she looked to her right eye in the mirror. What would happen if they ever saw what was hidden underneath her eyepatch? Would they try to kill her if they ever saw it?

She certainly hoped not if that had been the case.

Destiny jumped when she heard another knock at the door, while Cristal stood there calmly. "Who is it?" Cristal asked.

"It's just me."

It turned out it was just Blake as Destiny couldn't help but sigh with relief; Cristal giggled at the expression on her face causing her to pout. "You need something?" Cristal soon asked.

Blake replied from the other side, "I don't think it's crowded in the cafeteria right now. I was thinking we can go down there to get something to eat, before the others wake up."

"Well, it just so happens that Destiny is parched! Why don't you and her go and get breakfast?"

"Really? You sure you don't want anything?"
