"So~! There we were in the middle... Of.. The night"

Nora was telling us some sort of story, But Ren kept adding bits and pieces into the story to make it more.. Truthful

"It was day"

"We were surrounded by Ursai!" Blake seemed totally uninterested in this and more interested in her book.
"They were beowolves"

"DOZENS OF THEM" I jumped slightly when she yelled suddenly but regained my composure.
"Two of them"
"And in the end! Ren and i took them down making a boat load of lien selling ursa skin rugs"
Nora seemed very proud of this.. Dream? It was weird.

"Ahem.. (F/n) can i talk to you for one quick second?"

I looked over to the owner of the voice which was Liam and replied, "If it's about business then no"
He frowned down at me and rolled his eyes. "Your dad wants me to tell you something"

The rest of team rwby looked over to us "Then you can tell me it right here"

He narrowed his eyes, I knew i was digging my grave but my father couldn't do anything to me right now.. Liam sighed, "Just so you know i will have to tell your father about this... You can still change your mind"

I turned away so i couldn't see him anymore "He's already hurt our family enough" I lowly growled under my breath seemingly a bit louder than i thought i did, But i think everyone was being nice and not trying to point out what i just said. "Fine!" I got up and walked over to a quieter place of the room

"Your father wants me to congratulate you, He received news that you joined team RWBY..."

I looked down, "Is that all?"

"He also wanted to say, You'll... Be participating... In an arranged marriage for the business"

I looked up my eyes widened. "With who?!"

"With... You see.. The Schnee's offered a deal to your father, Your to marry Whitley Schnee"

I looked down, "I.. See" I was holding back anger and tears at this point... I went back to the table, Before anyone could question it another conversation started up.

"Jaune Cardin's been picking on you since the first day of school" I looked over to Jaune who was acting seemingly suspicious and Pyrrah.. Everyone was questioning him about it.

"H..Huh who? Pfft Cardin Winchester? naah he just likes to mess around! Y'know practical jokes"

Jaune.. Is a very bad liar Well thats surely noted. "He's a bully" Ruby stated next. "Pfft please" He put his hands up "Name one time Cardin's 'Bullied' me" We named tons of times he has.

"I didn't land far from the school!" Nora suggested we break his legs then he pointed over to cardin being a jerk to a faunus girl. "Ow that hurts!"

I saw a figure approaching Cardin, "Leave her alone" Liam? He doesn't do well with groups.. By that i mean fighting a group of people. "What are you going to do about it huh?"

"I'll beat you up if i have to" He stood infront of Cardin Winchester and the rest of cardin's team stood by cardin. Cardin swung at Liam, Liam then stepped aside and punched him in the gut but he didn't account for the whole of Cardin's team charging at him at once.. I saw him panicking so i jumped up and stood in front of Liam blocking the hits for him.

"You bit off more than you can chew.. Again"

"Step aside (L/n) this has nothing to do with you" He put more emphasis on nothing, I scoffed at him "How about you run off" He growled at me and called his buddies off and they left..

"Th..Thank you.. Both of you! I'm Velvet"

"I'm (f/n) and this is Liam.. Nice to meet you too" I took off after i said that leaving Liam and Velvet to talk or something and sat back down with team rwby and jnpr. "Why did you just jump up like that.. You could've gotten hurt" I looked over to blake who seemed.. To my surprise, She seemed worried about that.

"Liam doesn't do well when a group of people are attacking at once"

"Right..." Blake still had a concerning look but went back to reading.
"It must be hard to be a faunus" everyone on the table seemed upset about the faunus bullying aswell apparently. I can't imagine what it'd be like for Blake if she didn't have a bow up.. I guess that's why she hides it.

We had headed off to Professor Oobleck's class and he was like.. He's definitely drunk too much coffee.. He was explaining his lesson.. "Now!"
He sped over to his next spot for some weird reason.
"Have any among you guys been discriminated or subjugated because of your faunus heritage"

A few people including Velvet put her hand up sadly. "It is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence"

He took a sip of his coffee and continued. "I mean.. I mean! Just look at what happened to the white fang"

He asked some question that Weiss had answered, The next question was asked and Cardin threw paper at Jaune making him wake up and be picked to answer. I saw Pyrha trying to help him out... "BINOCULARS!"
Everyone started laughing. "Very funny mr Arc.. Cardin what about you?"

"Well i know it's easier to train an animal then a soldier" Ugh that brat.. The nerve of him to insult other races like that! "Your not one of the most open minded individuals are you Cardin" Get em Pyrha!

"What.. You got a problem?!"

"No.. I got the answer! It's night vision"

Cardin got angrier at this... Blake added in "General Lagoon was inexperienced and made the mistake of trying to ambush the faunus in their sleep.. His army was outmatched and the general was captured"
Wow.. I mean i guess it's kinda fitting that Blake knows a lot about this.. I forget she's a faunus sometimes.

I added in for Blake,

"Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class, He wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure"

He got really upset at this remark getting up.. He was told to sit back down and Jaune started snickering but that back fired real quick when they were both told to stay back after class for additional readings...

When class ended we ran out to get to our rooms... Man i just wanted to sleep.. I was on my way back to the dorm room when i got cut off by Blake. "What did you mean earlier"

I tilted my head confused. "Huh?"

"You said.. Your father has already hurt your family enough"

"I.. Didn't realize anyone heard that" I looked down but Blake pushed my head back up so i looked her in the eyes, She was asking for answers.
"My dad married for Business.. Had a child.. Me.. Only so i could take on his company and help him with business deals like the one at the.. The one i met you at"
I couldn't mention the white fang in case anyone was listening in on us.

"My mum ran away"

"I..Im sorry for asking"

"No... It's okay.. It's my fault she ran away anyways... She couldn't stand to see who i had become. Doing my fathers bidding without.. Well with regret i just could never show it to my father or anyone"

"Ok.. Thanks for telling me then (f/n)"

We went to bed for the night and woke up early in the morning to get ready for a field trip tomorrow..
