Old Soul ( RWBY Fanfic with my OC)

Chapter 38

" Let's see," Salem began as everyone around the table sat nervously in their seats. " The previous year, you all failed me once again. And you told me, dear Tyrian was killed by a girl who happens to have come along with Ozpin and have stopped you twice." Emerald could barely hear herself breath and wondered why she was still alive. " So they made it to Atlas...and this girl you spoke of...controlled, a sea dragon, a grimm?" They could hear the mansion creek and groan as the glass started to crack. " Mercury," He flinched as his name was called. " Tell me, what color were her eyes? Now."

" Violet." He answered quickly. " Violet, they were violet. I swear." Salem loomed over him, standing there quietly as she observed the room.

" Interesting." She walked past him and he felt like he could breath again. " Very interesting. Did she say what her name was?" She looked at Emerald and she shook her head. " Hmm, alright. I want you all to leave me . Find this girl and the silver eyed one, bring them to me alive and don't come back until you do. There could be a use of this violet eyed girl." They glanced at each other and concidered where she might be. " Didn't you hear me? I said. LEAVE. NOW." They hurried out of the room to avoid her wrath. She breathed out a sigh as they all left and glanced at her crystal ball. " Just who are you?" She said as she thought to herself. For all she knew, there was none but herself that controlled the grimm. Now comes this girl, young and naive with the ability to control grimm. A very interesting development indeed.

" General Ironwood. It's nice to see you again." Zea greeted the two headmasters with a smile. " Took you long enough to realise who I was."

" Good to know you." He replied and started feeling cautious over the tone she was using. " Of the troops I plan to  bring-"

" Take them out." He blinked twice over this. " I want them out of my school and of my city. They have no buisness here, and please, you're scaring the children."

" Ashen, if you would listen." She held up a hand and headed for the window. As the same as Qrow, she let in three birds. Two sparrows and relatively new, a blue jay. The blue jay went limp as it landed on the desk. " What?" Zea seemed to be listening to something or someone talking but the two headmasters heard nothing.

" That is alarming...I got a bad feeling, send a flock there and report if anything changes. And another thing, Alfred." She said to the air in front of her. " Please, protect the children." She smiled softly as the blue jay started to move again and the three birds headed for the window. " General Ironwood, do you remember what happened the last time you brought an army to the school? I know that Torchwick is dead and his henchman is nowhere to be found, but please. Never bring them here, " She glared at him to make a point. " Unless you want me to 'remove' them myself." She ended with a patient smile. " At least that's what the sparrow said."

" You're not the Sparrow?" Glynda asked her. Zea shook her head and smiled. She reached into her desk's drawer and pulled out something.

" I'm her Hummingbird." She placed the unmoving body of a hummingbird onto the table. " Sit down, both of you. There's a lot to tell before the students get back here. Tea?"

" How dare you...." Cinder snarled at him as he stood his ground. Neo stood on the side silently, not paying any heed to the discussion. " Look, it's a very simple deal...take us to Vacuo and we'll be sure to reward you..." He crossed his arms and shook his head furiously, glaring daggers into her amber eyes. He turned his back and gestured for her to leave, not even glancing at Neo. " I see. Quite stubborn aren't you? Then what if I were to just...take something." He widened his eyes as the door to the building creaked open slightly, Miki stood dare her eyes staring with so much confusion. As if time moved slowly, the blade of an arrow moved past his eye. Neo took a step forward too late. The arrow was blazing and burning and soon it disappeared after hitting it's target. She watched as both bodies fell with a gentle thud, she put a hand over her mouth and could feel herself tremble. Pen still held on to Miki, a pair of pale green eyes watching could feel tears sting his eyes.

Veena flinched and felt a sting at the tip of her finger. She'd pricked it with a needle. She stared at it for a moment before putting down the magpie she was crafting and getting up to go to the bathroom. Something wasn't right, she glanced at the window of her cabin looking at the waves moving gently. Something is definitely wrong. She felt a rage for which she knows not the source. She prayed that her flock was alright.

" Miki!" Alex screamed. He couldn't move and for a moment, he'd forgotten how to breath. " Oh, Pen..."
