Old Soul ( RWBY Fanfic with my OC)

Chapter 34

Her dark red hair shone in the sun as the red blade skimmed past it, nicking off a couple strands. She reminded herself what she learned over the months. Keep your body low, stance wide, focus. She blocked another attack as the blows kept coming, her new instructor was harsh she'd have to admit. But there are some things,that only someone as old as time could teach you. She lunged forward, her instructor moved to the left just as she thought and so she pointed her gun and fired. But she was off target and missed her shot, Raven hit her back with the hilt of her sword and the girl fell.

" You're dead." She said ending the match. " Your footwork is sloppy, you're off aim and, you've got your head in the clouds again. Don't you?" Raven sheathed her sword and leaned against a tree, crossing her arms as the girl grumbled and dusted herself. " I'm telling you this because you'll get yourself killed out there if you hadn't had the Sparrow watching over you." She rolled her eyes, her previous instructor said the same thing but in a more cheerful tone which made it feel a bit eerie. " But I have to admit, that little trick you did can be quite useful, if you actually know how to shoot a gun that is."

" Yeah, whatever. I thought spring was supposed to be a sweet and kind season but your so cold." The girl stuck her tounge out and gave the spring maiden a mischievous smile.

" I can see why your the summer maiden. You act like a child." Yup, this kid definitely reminds her of Summer, just a bit. But that role has been taken over by Ruby, besides, this kid needs to wise up fast. As they know it, the world might end and Salem could be hunting them down as they speak. " Again. Try not to disappoint me this time, Blackbird."

" Why do I have to go by that name? I like my own name-" Raven covered her mouth and glared.

" Watch your mouth. You should be grateful to have your name hidden. Do you know how legends can disappear?" Raven asked letting her go. She reluctantly shook her head. " You see, back when I was a student there was a legendary huntress called the Grimm Reaper. She never gave her name, she never showed her face, so no one knew who she really was. After a while she just vanished, at first we all thought she was keeping a low profile but soon accepted the fact that she was probably dead. My brother really looked up to her, it's why he uses a scythe as his weapon. He was foolish. But I could be wrong," Blackbird looked up to her with a confused face. " She could be alive. Which is why we need to keep you hidden, Blackbird." She gave the girl a pat on the shoulder and opened a portal. " Lesson's over. When I come back tomorrow, you better have improved."

The girl sighed as her instructor left, Heather should be hear soon to keep up with her hand to hand combat training. Which was good because the nightingale would say something nicer. But she couldn't help but to think, Raven was actually...nice today. Even gave her a lesson about legends with a story too. She's usually so strict and cold, with the complaints that the girl was weak. The first time she met her, Raven actually threatened to kill her if she didn't do any better and take her powers. It was a bit scary, she'd have to admit but in a way, Veena sounded like she would've done the same.

' Keep it together, Agatha. You can't bail on this, they gave you a chance so might as well use it.' She thought to herself as she practised her swings. She's learning how to use a sword but she thought if she could use a different weapon. Like a crossbow or a like, a spear. That would be cool too. " Come on, I can do this." She concentrated and created a knife, it wasn't flashy with a wicked design but it was still a weapon. Simplicity is how she likes it anyway. If only she could do what the Sparrow did the other day. That would be awesome.

" Papers, papers and so much more..." Zea mumbled in sing along as Glynda and Ironwood contacted her. She was sitting rather bored in her office, not noticing the screen. " Ah, oh my gods I need a distraction-Oh, I'm sorry. Did you two wait for long? I'm so sorry I didn't notice, been, uh, sorting out these last few papers. So, is there something you both need?"

" Well, for starters. I'm sure you've met us." Zea nodded and urged her to go on. " But I have to ask. Just, how much do you know about the school?"
