Lurking Darkness

Ice Cold

"Mr. Arc, it's been weeks now, please try to refer to your scroll during combat, gauging your aura will help you decide when it is appropriate to attack or move to a more... defensive strategy." Glynda says holding a Scroll. Jaune looks saddened by that statement.

"We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf, now would we?"

"Speak for yourself." Cardin says while walking off. Pyrrha looks just as saddened as Jaune does.

"Hey Pyrrha, you okay?"

"Yes Y/n, I am okay, just sad for Jaune." Her tone shifts.

"I understand, Pyrrha, you know I can tell when you're interested in someone by now right? It's literally been years Pyrrha, I know you just as much as yourself." Her eyes shoot open.

"I-I don't know wh-what you're talking about Y/n." You chuckle.

"Pyrrha. He's going to be fine, trust me. You however need to get yourself sorted with him, soon." Her face is blood red now, you can't help but laugh with her.

"You know Y/n, I can do the same thing to you." Now your eyes react to this stimulus.

"What are you talking about Pyrrha?"

"You have a crush on the girl in the black, Blake? Is it?" A smirk grows across her face.

"Aw dammit, we know each other too well, tell you what, I'll try to point him in the right way if yo do the same."

"Deal." You both shake hands and smile.

Later in the cafeteria...

"Jaune, Cardin is an atrocious person who picks on human and Faunus alike."

"What? Cardin Winchester? Please, he's just joking around." Jaune points to his table.

"OW! PLEASE STOP!" You notice Cardin pulling a rabbit faunus' ears.

"I told you they were real." Cardin says smugly.

"Atrocious, I can't stand people like him." Pyrrha creates a fist in her left hand.

"He's not the only one." Blake says angrily.

"It must be hard to be a fau—." Yang is cut off by something.

By you.

You start to get incredibly cold, so cold in fact the food in front of you on your lunch tray began to form ice crystals.

"Hey Weiss, cut the ice out will ya?" Yang says as her food is also freezing.

"It's not me Yang, look at Y/n." You stare so intensely at Cardin and his group that the other students around you also begin to feel cold, Pyrrha speaks to you.

"Y/n, calm down, it's not worth it." She moves beside you, taking the brunt of the freezing cold.

"Pyrrha, you know how I get with asshats like him." You say in an aggressive tone, the air begins to turn misty, as a result of the drastic change in temperature.

"I understand (Y/n), but you mustn't give into his ga—." Gusts of cold wind begin flowing into the cafeteria and start disrupting other students conversations, Teams RWBY and JNPR begin looking at you worryingly, their eyes asking you to calm down. Pyrrha is the only one to speak.

"Y/n." You slowly begin to "chill out" and Yang so bluntly stated.

"I apologize, I gotta go." You don't even finish lunch as you leave the cafeteria in a hurry as to not attack Cardin and his cronies.

"Is he gonna be okay?" Ruby asks Pyrrha.

"I hope so.."

That one was fun, got to show off just how worrisome the cold part of the semblance can be for a bit. Anyway, will be back soon and thanks again for reading! -P
