Chapter 8: A Night in the ballroom

Written By: VinylScratch7

The students of Beacon were gathered in the ballroom for a night rest before the initiation of the academy that Professor Ozpin was preparing for tomorrow. Ruby was in her pajamas while writing on a card.

Yang was staring at all the boys that were passing through and giving them a flirty look while spotting her little sister in a spot, walking towards her sister she notice her writing on the card.

"What that?" Yang ask making Ruby to notice her sister who appeared next to her.

"A letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going." Ruby said while continuing writing.

"Aw, that's so cuuuute!" Yang received a pillow in her face getting to shut up.

"Shut up! I didn't get to take my friends with me to school! It's weird not knowing anyone here!" Ruby said.

"Ah but thats a good thing Ms Rose" Ruby and Yang turns their head to notice Thancred approaching them.

"Oh yeah why's that?" Ruby ask.

"Well think of it this way, is like a adventure making friends, some will be silly while the other will have a difficult personality to get along with and it might take away that shyness of yours that i hear so much about from your sister." Ruby looks at Yang while she whistles and looks away.

"Yeah i guess so..but how will that help me become a huntress, i dont need friends to become a better huntress." Ruby said.

"Oh it does Ms Rose, see friends are your allies and with many allies can make the job of being a huntress more easier and also if you fail something you will know that you have someone help you get up from your failers and retry once more." Thancred said.

"Hm...yeah i guess your right but i hardly have friends here..." Ruby said.

"Sure you do, What about Jaune he's....Nice....there you go one plus friend" Yang said while being positive.

"Pretty sure Weiss makes it Minus friend. so im back to Zero." Ruby said.

"What about Y/N" Yang said looking at Thancred and Ruby.

"Speaking of him where is he?" Ruby said while looking around.

"He's by the window...maybe a little bit of company will lighten the mood for him..." Thancred said while looking at the location your sitting at.

=============================================================================

You stare down the moonlight quietly and remembering that fateful night years ago, you couldnt stop replaying the incident in your mind, you could still feel your parents cold blood in your hands while shaking you Father and mother hoping they could get up from the cruel joke that the world of remanant left for you.

You notice outside of the ballroom a bat staring down at you while you do the same And the voice of your old master from the mountain pop into your head about the conversation that the two of you were having.

"What is your goal Mr L/N?" Your master asked of you.

You turn your head and saw a image of him standing infront of you and recall the thing you said "I havent come to a conclusion yet" You said while looking at the bat outside.

"When you first came here and wanted nothing to do with Remnant...i didnt wanted to take you in but then you showed compation and dedication and im guessing you want to prove something." You Master said.

"Prove...no....i just want to set something clear my head..." You said while remembering staring the snowy moutains

"No...i sense that you can have a path which you will be known of Mr L/N" You look towards the illusition once more.

"A Path?" You asked.

"A man like you can make a difference in the world we live in Mr L/N" Your master said.

"What you mean?" You look at your master.

He smile and starts walking slowly towards you "What if i tell you that i can give a intense training that not even a single scum of the earth can ever stop you mr L/N" He said while noticing the seriousness in his eyes.

"Im just a man with no Semblance..you know that right..." You said.

"Mr L/N If you make yourself more than just a Man, if you devote yourself to an ideal you can make something else entirely."

"Which is?" You said

"A Legend Mr L/N" His voice fades.

"Hey Y/N!" You snap out from your flash back and notice Ruby,Yang and Thancred next to you.

"Oh hey...what up?" You said..

They look to each other and then back to you "We should ask you that, you been staring outside for a minute..is everything okay?" Yang asked.

"Yeah sorry been thinking is all...." You said while Thancred had a worry look.

"So you ready for tomorrow?" Ruby asked.

"Oh yeah..totally.." You smiled.

"Awesome cant wait to see your weapon!" Ruby said while rushing towards infront you with big shinning eyes.

"Okay little sister easy now, give the man some space." Yang said while pulling Ruby away from you.

You laugh lightly "Im going to hit the hay...ill catch you girls tomorrow" You said while walking away.

"Oh..sure...." Yang said while notice the girl with the black bow from earlier "Oh Ruby what about her!" Yang said while pulling Her sister towards Blake.

Thancred catch up to you and wanted to asked if you were fine but you only smile and continue your way towards your quarters.
