Old Soul ( RWBY Fanfic with my OC)

Chapter 40

Ruby swear she saw her. That sky blue veil. But she wasn't looking where she was going and bumped into Cardin.

" Watch it, Ruby!" He shoved her back and Yang caught her. " I don't get what's a kid like you doing in Beacon. Guess what? You should go back to being a first year, that's where your age is anyway." The rest of team CRDL laughed with him, feeling triumphed over such a small age gap.

" Is that really the best you got?" Yang said with her head tilted and hands on her hips. " My little sister, can beat more grimm than you can count just by looking at them."

" Yeah, right. Do you really expect us to believe that crap?" Russel snorted.

" Here, let me do you one better." Weiss offered to Yang. " What's a coward like you, who couldn't even beat an ursa on his own, even trying to do here? Picking on Ruby just cause she's younger? Please, go find something better to do." She crossed her arms and tossed her hair.

" I'm not a coward!" Cardin protested and glanced at team JNOR, who were coming their way. " Jaune's the coward around here! Couldn't even nail a landing strategy without help from dear Pyrrha Nikos."

" Hey, I think I remember saving your butt from a giant Ursa the other day. Also, don't ever talk about my teammate like that again." Jaune clenched his fist as Cardin laughed. He glared daggers as the cocky fellow students attempts to size him up.

" So? What are you gonna do about it, Arc? " He leaned in for effect. " Pyrrha isn't here to protect you." Jaune felt his fists shake as he waited for him to finish. " She's dead." He froze as he could feel the cold edge of Jaune's blade. It seemed almost impossible, he moved too fast. " What the-?" He was silenced as the blade pushed deeper.

" I told you. Don't talk about her like that. Ever. I swear if you ever do so again, I won't hesitate....to let Nora beat the crap out of you." He relaxed and put down his sword as Nora chuckled mischievously.

" Ohoho...You're all going down!" She pounded her fists together and smiled wide. " Ren, pass me my hammer!"

" Nora!" Ren warned her. " We can't kill them. Wait until the tournament to beat their ass again." He winked at her.

" Then kill them?" He chuckled softly and smiled.

" Yeah." Team CRDL made their escape as the two were distracting the others. Promising themselves that they'll get them next time. Unfortunately, they ran into Owen, whom was aching to beat the shit out of them. She ended up chasing them all over the ship to beat them with her bare hands. This caused the huntsman in charge to be pissed over the ruckus they made and her two of her teammates had to drag her back to their room. " Well, that was something to see." They all agreed with him and laughed.

" Don't you ever move from that chair. We have eyes, everywhere." Neo shifted uncomfortably in her chair, forced to sit quietly in the corner as the birds were discussing ( tweeting?) on what to do next or rather, what to do with her. A young huntsman entered the room, a student, he had black hair with golden tips and he wore a black hoodie with a symbol of a feather on it. His electric blue eyes glanced at Neo and back at the birds. Heather reappeared again and told him what happened. He looked more surprised than alarmed then he looked a bit sad and she knew he was being told about Pen. " What do we do with her?" She heard her say, the young huntsman walked over to her and looked into her eyes.

" Neopolitan?" He said in a questioning tone and she nodded. " You visit a lot?" She nodded to most of his questions. " Do you know that Pen and Miki are dead?" She hesitated and felt a sharp sting inside, she paused for a moment before nodding again. " Why did you help us? Them, the children, the orphanage?" He was quite the interrogator, she kept quiet for a moment before just shrugging, she really didn't know why she did it. She never cared before but somehow she does now. She thought of what Roman would say, maybe he'd scoff or wriggle his way out of this somehow. It occured to her that all the things he stole, every crime he committed, he never stole from the poor and above all, he'd stay away from places like the orphanage. Whenever she gestured why he'd say that it gives him bad memories or excuses like there's nothing to take anyway, but deep diwn she liked to believe that he in his own way, had a sense of emphaty. " So, you were into Roman Torchwick? No wonder you followed him. Is it just that or was it because of the good share he gives you?" She felt herself want to scream if she had the voice. This guy was unbelievable. Her mind, her privacy and he just peaked in uninvited. " Kidding. Now, last question. Do you believe in the term 'eye for an eye'?" He looked straight into her mismatched eyes and started reading her like a book.
