chapter 4
No one's pov.
Nathen and pyrrha were walking for hours before they came upon a small village. With out a word the duo threw there hoods up and Nathen picked up Emily putting her in his bag so she wouldn't be seen. As they walked to the village Nathen willed his skin to turn a tanned color in case he needed to show his face. Pyrrha was a bit afraid of being discovered and walked close to Nathen. They walked into the crowd as people took notice of them and started to whisper. 'Who are they?' 'Where did they come from?' 'Hope they're not refugees.' This kinda talk continued until they got to the middle of the crowd. "Hey! You 2 there with the hoods! Stop!" A voice called out. Nathen cursed silently and turned to look at the person.
"Yes?" Nathen asked taking his hood off showing his face. It was irritated.
"Why are you here?" The man that asked had black hair and dark skin. He had a beard growing and the build of a blacksmith.
"We're passing through." Nathen responsed. Pyrrha was still looking down afraid. "Why do you wish to know?"
"Because we were wondering if you were hunters." The man asked with a softer voice. Pyrrha looked up slightly and took in the surroundings. Her face was covered by the shadow of the hood. "Grimm have been getting close to the village everyday. We're scared that we'll be destroyed."
"I'm sorry but wer-."
"We'll help you." Pyrrha said loudly causing everyone to cheer.
"Pyrrha?" Nathen asked quietly. "What are you doing? We don't have time for this."
"We have to help them." She argued. "Besides we have time."
"Fine." He's sighs then looks at the man. "Where we're the creatures last seen?"
"Over in that direction in the forest." The man pointed. "Wait. Where are your weapons?" Nathen cursed again.
"We lost them. Bandits stole them." Pyrrha said quickly.
"Well come with me and I'll let you choose some weapons free of charge." He pulled us in the direction of his shop and opened the door. It had many weapons. After about 10 minutes pyrrha had chosen a shield a short sword, and a rifle while nathen found a machete and a crossbow. "Good choices. Those are some of my oldest but strongest weapons."
"Now how much did they cost?" Nathen asked. "And before you say you don't have to pay I insist." After a bargain between nathen and the blacksmith it was agreed at half price. As they were leaving the door blew pyrrha hood off causing her to cover her face instantly. The blacksmith instantly recognized her.
"Pyrrha Nikos?" The man asked. She threw her hood back on.
"Yes but please don't tell anyone." She begged. Nathen sighed.
"It would be very helpful if you could keep it quiet." Nathen said. The blacksmith nodded confused.
"Thank you. We'll get that grimm problem dealt with fast then be on our way." Pyrrha said leaving instantly with Nathen in tow.
Jaune was still playing pyrrhas training video. Ruby, Nora, Ren, and Oscar/ozpin watched from around the corner. "He's pushing himself way to much." Ren commented.
"But he's trying to work through the pain." Nora countered.
"He could kill himself if he pushes himself to much." Oscar/ozpin noted. "Ruby go talk to him."
"What why me?" She asked.
"Because he's your oldest friend at beacon." Nora said. "Now get in there." She pushed ruby in the room with jaune.
"Huh?" Jaune looked at a stumbling ruby with a raised eyebrow. "What is it ruby?"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhh well I was wondering if you wanted to go eat with me?" Ruby asked quickly.
"Uh sure." He said confused. "When would you like to go?"
"Now!" Nora yelled.
"Yeah now." Ruby chuckled nervously.
"Okay." He put his sword in his scabard. "Let's go." Ruby took his hand and started to walk out the door.
Qrow sat on the edge of a building overlooking haven. He kept sipping from hid flask thinking about the girl who had his son. He shook his head looked out to the forest. "I hope he's okay." Qrow sighed laid back a bit.
"HELLO!" A voice yelled from inside a dead gryphon grimm. "CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME?!" The stomach area was moving around a lot. After a bit the stomach opened from the inside to reveal a man in a white coat stained with a bit of blood, ginger hair, and a cane. "God I hate grimm." He said picking up a bowler hat. "Now to find Neo." He said with a smile walking in the direction of the safe house he thought was nearby. As he neared it a shadow flew over him. He looked up to see a girl holding an umbrella.
