Old Soul ( RWBY Fanfic with my OC)

Chapter 5

" Excuse me?" Weiss scoffed, it had to be a joke. " Are you serious?" That's when Veena began to falter and hesitate.

" There are two people there, right? I thought I saw...Hold on." She took off her binds, with a deep breath she opened her eyes and looked direcrly at Oscar. " Tell me that there's two people there." She glanced at the entire room. Some were whispering to one another, Maria looked at her with deep fascination as did Ruby. Qrow only raised a brow as she seemed to trying to concentrate on something even as she spoke. Like, she was controlling something. " Can someone, please tell if there's two people there? Please." She said looking down with a bit of frustration in her eyes.

" Uh, sorry kid. Oscar's the only one there." Qrow gave her a skeptical look as she gave a sigh.

" Are you sure?" She asked with her eyes closed. " Please be joking..." Ruby heard her whisper.

" Yes. It's just Oscar." Maria reassured her. She gave another deep sigh and ran her hand through her face. She closed her eyes for a good moment and leaned in her seat. They waited for her reaction.

" Of course.." She sighed. She put on her headphones and took a deep breath. " Alright, to make you understand, I'm going to use my semblance. Just so you know, I'm still me." She opened her eyes and a wave of energy filled the room as her eyes gleam.

" Oh my god." Qrow managed to say as the scene left everyone speachless. There were all sorts of things floating about in the room. From shining insects to two or three people who were smiling and walking about. There were some really weird things too, some were fascinating others were creepy. Looking back at Veena he almost jumped as a faint glow in the form of a grown woman replaced the girl. " What the hell are you?"

" I'm an old soul." She said simply. " I'm surprised you haven't told me about him because I'm well aware you know what I'm talking about." She said pointing not at Oscar but the sad figure behind him.

" That's Proffessor Ozpin." Blake answered. Although the form he took was of his first life.

" Lies." Veena said as the figure of the grown woman rose, leaving the body of the young girl. " My memories may be incomplete," She said in a firm tone, she was elegant and fierce, dressed in a warrior's garments. " but I believe I've seen you before, Osma." The sad figure turned and he was surprised as she now stood before him in full view. " I have a feeling this has something to do with your household."

" How'd you-" Yang couldn't believe what she was was seeing as the figure returned to the girl, who rose from her seat. They were now in sync.

" I've lived a few lives myself, but I don't remember much. All I remember are the names I've taken and were raised with. Only a few of them. I believe Natrah was my first or among my earliest names, Yasa my second, Aris my third and Veena, is my current name. I hoped that the names I've given you might help me as well."

" How? Why give us the names?" Veena smiled.

" Are you familliar with legends?" They thought for a moment and nodded. " Some are true, some aren't. You," She said looking at Blake. " Even Faunus have legends do they not? Do you anyone called Aris?"

" I-You mean like the midnight sparrow?" Veena nodded and gestured for her to tell the tale. " There was a young Faunus named Aris who sang the best songs. He loved helping others and always sparked hope for brighter days. They sang the music he brings not only healed wounds but it also heals souls or aura. But they only saw him at night when the clock strikes twelve and you could hear a sparrow's song. That means he's there... hence, the name midnight sparrow."

" But I thought the midnight sparrow was a blacksmith? At least, that's the story I heard in Atlas. And his name was..." She paused before continuing. " His name was Yasa."

" I remember a tale of a warrior from Vacuo. She was fierce and showed no mercy to her enemies. " Maria informed them, she looked up at Veena. " Natrah was her name."

" Stop." Qrow ran his hand through his hair. " You lost me, explain."

" Well, I'm  not sure who I truly am but those tales are me. I was a warrior, a healer, a blacksmith and now a talented young girl with the gift to see everything. My semblance allows me to see spirits, souls, aura and because of that, you can also say I see the truth."

" That and it also makes whatever you imagine in that lovely little head of yours come to life." The dark figure.

" I thought I told you to leave." Veena grit her teeth.

" Oh my little sparrow, you and I both know that's not possible.." She closed her eyes and they saw no more, neither could they hear them. She screwed her eyes shut and binded her eyes again.
