Beacon Academy

The morning was still filled with darkness, the halls of Beacon covered in complete black, difficult for any person to navigate through. The shattered moon high above providing any shade of light to the school below. It's light peering through the glass windows of the ballroom where all the new arrivals had slept for the night.

All was calm, the students snoozing peacefully in their sleeping bags in their own part of the room.

Cobalt, Jack, Sam and Gopher had all slept peacefully in their corner. But the blue hunter started to shift and turn in his sleep, his breathing becoming heavier and heavier from the dream he was experiencing.

(Dream)

"Where are we off to now?"

"One of the outlying villages, they're reporting high activity of Grimm in the area."

"Then let's get to it!"

"Something is wrong here."

"Yeah.... it's quiet... too quiet."

"Fall back! Fall back!!"

"Burn em out!!!"

"I can't believe their dead."

"There's nothing we could have done."

"Hey..... you ok?"

"What do you think?"

"Just don't beat yourself over it.... we know the risks..... it's what we do."

"Hey hey! Easy there, I'm here to help."

"Please! Please take my baby!"

"Now come on, we have food, water and shelter."

"Please..... forgive me..."

"BOOOOOMB!!!!!"

(Dream ends)

Cobalt jerked awake, his eyes going wide open, his arm up before his face, as if he have shielding himself. He sat up quickly, scanning the room to asses his surroundings and recognizing he was in the ballroom of Beacon Academy.

"Hey... you ok?" a voice whispered to him.

Cobalt turned to the voice and saw it was Jack, who had also woken up and was laying on his side. "Bad dream?" He asked his best friend.

He nodded to him, wiping his face and feeling moisture on his hand, realising he had conjured up a lot of sweat from the nightmare.

"Yeah... yeah I'm fine." He whispered back to Jack. "What time is it?" He asked, his voice still sounding asleep.

"0459" Jack replied, looking at his watch.

"Huh... about a minute earlier than what we normally wake up at." Cobalt then stood up, quickly stretching his back, a few clicking noises being heard indicating he managed loosen his stiff joints, with Jack doing the same as well.

He turns to face Sam who was still in his sleeping bag. "Hey Sam... you awake?"

"As awake as I'll ever be." He replied, also standing up and doing a few stretches.
