A kid?

The walk to the dorm was quiet. I was walking next to Blake in the back, Ruby next to Yang in the front, and Weiss was walking in the middle of us. Ozpin sent the location of the dorm to Ruby's scroll and pretty much told us to fuck off, in fancy people language. Man this silence is awkward. "So, how did the initiation go? What happened? How many Grimm did you kill?"

"Do you even care about the answer to the first two questions?" How rude Blake, "Of course I don't. But Idle chatter is the best way to grow closer, besides sticking to your side of course. Not much closer than that." I look back towards the other 3 and see them giving me the stink eye. I thought that was Weiss's thing? "I swear if you don't stop looking at me like that, I'll spoil all the milk that enters the dorm. All it takes is a little bit of vinegar." Yang's and Weiss's face turn a little green at the thought while Ruby looks as if I just kicked a puppy. "But if you did that... what could I dip my cookies in!?" I give her a thoughtful look. "Well, you could use spoiled milk." *Thud*

I've killed her. Code red! Code red! Team leader down... objective: Take her scroll so we can find our way to the dorm! I reach down and pick up the poor girl making sure to grab her scroll as well. Ignoring the pointed looks from my new teammates I start the trek down the hall.

It wasn't far from where we were, only a few more doors down. Dorm 420, nice. We push open the door and see a room with 4 beds in columns, facing us, and a big window with a red curtain. Under the window, pressed against the wall, was an open dresser with uniforms in it. On one bed was a little box with a small note in front of it. On both sides of the room was an open door, one was leading to a kitchen/dinning room and the other to a bathroom. I carry the girl in red to the bed on the far right and carefully throw her on the bed. Maybe I didn't throw her with enough care, if her scream in mid-air is anything to go by.

"Sorry bout' that, i meant to place you on the bed. My arm slipped and I ended up throwing you." I blinked and reached for the box and the note, which wasn't an actual note but a piece of paper with "For Slate" on it. I rip the box open, and out pops a small rectangle. 'This must be my scroll~' With a childlike joy, I pick up the scroll and pressed the golden diamond in the middle of the rectangle making it pop open. The translusent screen having nothing on it, as it wasn't set up yet, causes me to blink at it.

I look around at my teammates who were getting ready for bed after a long day, and pull Weiss over to me. "Wah- what do you want you dol-" One look caused her to shut up, as I'm not in the mood right now. This is one of the most important tasks in my life. I hold my scroll up to her, "How do I use this?" Weiss looks down at the scroll, back up to me, back to the scroll, and back up to me.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that you don't even know how to operate a scroll? Did you grow up in the middle of nowhere or something?" I smirk at her already knowing my answer. "Yes, yes I did. I grew up in a place so unknown, it didn't even get property taxes. Now how do I work this thing?" Not bothering to argue with me she just went through the basics of the scroll. How to change settings, how to take pictures, download apps, set timers, ya know the basics. After which, she went back to preparing for sleep.

Sleep does sound nice, but we should do something first... "Lest get to know each other. We can't be a good team as strangers. Lets start with Yang, tell us about yourself." We all look over to Yang and she seems to jump at the idea. "Great, as you all know my name is Yang. I love my hair, don't mess with it. Or else. I also love my little sister, Ruby. Uhh, some of my hobbies are fighting and playing games! That's about all, I choose who goes next right? Blake, to you!"

Snapping herself out of a book with the call of her name, Blake looks around. "Right. My name is Blake, I like reading and the quiet. That's it. Ruby." Wow, I'm not even that bad at introducing myself. A little shocked at Blake's dull response, Ruby begins her introduction. "Well, my name is Ruby! I like cookies and milk. I love my family! I dream of the day I finally become a huntress, and will work hard until that dream becomes a reality!" That was a little more determined than I thought. It's like she's a main character who just gained motivation during a speech... "You're up Weiss!" Bro... I made this game and they choose me last... How dare they do this to me.

"As you all should know by now, my name is Weiss Schnee. My hobbies are studying and training, and I enjoy little things in life. Like a nice walk on a good day, delicious food, and good movies. I dislike annoyances and dolts... Ruby, lawbreakers, and the White Fang those terrorists." What did Ruby do? Good thing she whispered that or their would be a bigger rift i the team.

They all look at me. "Looks like it's finally my turn. My name is Slate, no last name... unless you want it to be yours *wink*. Heh, just kidding, maybe. I like fighting, eating, reading, super cold or super hot places, and girls/ladies. I dislike uhm I don't know. I don't have set dislikes, like I could hate something one second and be chill with it the next. At least my likes are known to me. My goal is a secret, though if you guess it i'll tell you. Besides that, did you like my game? Learn anything new 'bout each other?" They just nod to me, thoroughly lacking the energy needed to keep up with me. What a drag, these kids need to work on their endurance.

They each walk to a bed with Ruby taking the far left one, Yang on the one Next to her, Weiss on the right of Yang, and Blake has already sunk into the bed on the far right. They're boring when they have no energy. I walk to the door and I flick the lights off so we could sleep. Stalking over to Blake's bed, I come to a stop next to it and just stand there. She sighs and scoots over so I can get in.

"Thanks Blakey, but you'll have to sleep on me. The bed isn't large enough for you and me." She grumbles a bit, already half asleep, and rolls on top of me. The bed is large enough, but she's too tired to care right ow and I plan to take advantage of it. Besides I'm more comfortable when something is laying on me when I'm trying to sleep. be it a person or a weighted blanket. Once I hear her soft snores and am sure she's asleep I let myself fall asleep as well. 'Y'know, I'm getting pretty hungry Slate.' And you just had to ruin my night.

(Didn't I feed you right before... no I didn't. Sorry bout that.) 'It's fine~ all good~ Why don't I just eat the snacks in this room as an apology hmm?' (This is why I don't make many friends. I already told you Blake was off limits before, I have to protect the blonde, I enjoy the atmosphere Ruby creates from her positivity, and Weiss is unfortunately on my team. So no, you can't.) 'Well you better feed me soon, we both don't like what happens when I lose control~'

One thing I learned about Blake, she's a heavy sleeper after fighting. I gently push her off me and stand up. I open the rooms window and climb down the wall making my way towards the water fountain in the courtyard. (Are there any cameras or people nearby right now?) I hope she doesn't lie, last time was such a mess. 'No~ this school doesn't have exterior cameras for some reason~ a real lax of security if you ask me~ Now hurry up.' So bossy for something trapped in my shadow.

I look into the water and see myself. Oh how beautiful I am, I raise my hand and trace the scar on my forehead and nose. The only flaws to my looks, and even then they just make me look tougher. Well, to me they do.

Time to do this, "Emco ot em ym sowahd," The soft golden light coming from the lamps starts to flicker before vanishing, allowing the dreary darkness to take over my surroundings. A faint echo starts following my words and the longer I chant, the louder it gets. "tsi miet ot nuth," An inky figure can be seen peaking over my shoulder, slowly forming. Despite my eyes not being able to cut through the darkness, I can't miss the deranged grin on it's face. The phantom chant following my words was now deafening. It was everywhere but nowhere and only got louder as the figure starts pulling itself out of my body. "tsi miet ot defe," And all of a sudden it gets quiet, the figure is gone. "goln ivle het goddess." I hate this with every ounce of my body. The lights are still out, having been destroyed in the process. "Ouch! Fuck!" I take sharp breaths and crane my head around coming face to face with it's sharp teeth already stained red from the deep bite it took into my shoulder.

"This is why I hate you, I've already told you what would happen the next time you bite me. Now you don't get to choose who you eat, I'll be the one finding them. God, so fucking rude." The grin turns into a frown real quick, that's what she gets. "Can you fix the lights now, despite liking the dark I also like to see where I'm going." She starts pouting ad mumbling about me always demanding things from her and how it should be the other way around.

With a flick the lights are back in optimal state, as if they hadn't been shattered just moments ago. My eyes screw themselves shut, blinded by the light, so I force them to blink until they adjust to the light. "Slate! Slate! How do you like my new body! I spent the entire time since you last let me out re-making it!" I roll my eyes and look towards her voice finding her under the shadow of a tree. Her bright green hair and mischievous yellow eyes were the first thing that caught my attention. She has pale peach red freckles running from cheek to cheek that stick out on her pale skin with a cool undertone. Her proud grin etched across her face as if saying praise me did nothing but tick me off. She has always liked being short, like ankle biter short. This time is no different with her beig around 4'8.

"How'd you even reach my shoulder to bite it" is of course the first thing I ask. I'll always make fun of her height. Her grin faltered and she wearily smiled instead, "I- uhh- I jumped... A-anyway! I'm hungry! Lets go get some food!" I put my hand up, stopping her from running off. "No, you need clothes first. I just so happened to forget to bring some with me." Her face flushes red, "H-how dare you forget to bring me the GREAT LUCI clothes! Blasphemy!" She just goes on and on so I pick her up and run back to the school. She's still rattling off insults angering me a bit. "-ow down and ask for forgiveness! Now! I command y-" I drop her. "OW! meanie... wahhh" And now she's crying.

"Sorry sorry, geez for someone as old as you I'd think you'd be past this stage already Luci. Now lets get back to the dorm and I'll give you some of Weiss's clothes, shes about your height. I swear if you don't stop crying I'll- *sigh* fine I'll let you choose who to eat with some restrictions." And like a switch she stopped crying and put on another grin. Rolling my eyes I pick her up piggy back style and feel her arms wrap around my neck with her legs around my hips and I climb back up the wall. And would you look at that, 4 girls pacing the room all turned towards me at the same time after grunted pulling us through the window.

Ignoring them I walk towards one of Weiss's suitcases and open it pulling out a white pair of panties, a white bra, bluish-white leggings, gray gym shorts with silver lining, and a gray short-sleeved shirt. I walk towards the bathroom place Luci down and shove her inside, tossing the clothes in as well, ad shutting the door. Then, and only then, I acknowledge my teammates. "Sup."

"Sup?! What do you mean sup?! you were gone for longer than an hour, and when you come back you pull yourself through a window carrying a naked child!? Then you steal the princesses clothes and give them to the girl? Why don't you tell us whats sup?!" Yang, did you have to mimic me at the end. And all of this is very logical. I summoned my bonded demon, and brought her back here, and gave her clothes. "Yeah, that just about sums it up. Thank you for the clothes Weiss. And finnnaly the girl is my daughter-"

*BAM!* "I am not your daughter!" well, there goes my cover story. "Obviously you're not my daughter but I can't exactly tell them the truth now can I? You just threw away a perfect excuse that I had prepared. This is another reason I don't let you out, dam you're like that annoying itch you get on your back but can't reach." That might be too harsh, just don't start cr- "I-I i'm sorry, I didn't know *hick* wuwuwu!"

Ughhh, dragging my hand down my face I flop onto mine and Blake's bed. "C'mere you big baby. Lets just sleep tonight, we'll get you something to eat tomorrow." She scrambles up onto the bed and curls up on my stomach, laying her head on my neck. I run my hand through her hair and look at my team. "Look we can talk about this in the morning, for now lets just go back to sleep. Blake, you're still sleeping next to me." It seems that they agree with me as they all lie back down, with Blake laying next to me with her back turned to me. "Night."
