The Midnight Serpent (RWBY x Male OC)

Chapter 15: Snooping

Midnight's POV

After another long study session, me and Alpha, Galand, and Ethan were heading back to our dorm.

Umbra: well, that was boring.

Midnight: it may be boring, but I need to study if I want a good grade.

Umbra: ugh, what's with this century and grades? In my hay day it was all based on how fast you could beat someone to the ground.

Midnight: well, we can do that during combat training.

Umbra: really?

Midnight: no

Umbra: damnit!

We continued down the hall when Alpha abruptly stopped in his track. The rest of us turned to him.

Galand: everything alright, man?

I could see his ears twitch as he turned and looked at team RWBY's door. He then leaned up against the door, pressing an ear to it.

Ethan: uh, what're you-

Alpha: shhhh

Midnight: Alpha, if Weiss catches you she's gonna immediately assume you're trying to peep on her and her team. Now come on.

I grabbed Alpha by the arm, but he shook me off.

I sighed, but as I got closer to the door I thought I could hear team RWBY on the other side.

Weiss: you made a promise to me, to all of us that you would let us know if something was wrong.

My curiosity got the better of me as I pressed my ear up against the door.

Weiss: so, Blake Belladonna, what is wrong?!

I could sense Weiss' dramatic flare from behind the door.

Galand: eh, if everyone else is doing it, imma join in too.

Ethan: ugh, I'm not even gonna bother trying to stop you guys, scotch over.

Galand and Ethan press their ears to the door and began listening with us.

Blake: I just...I don't understand how everyone can be so calm.

Ruby: you're still thinking about Torchwick?

Blake: Torchwick, The White Fang, all of it. Something big is happening and no one is doing anything about it.

Yang: Ozpin told us not to worry. Between the police and the huntsman, I'm sure they can handle it.

Blake: well, I'm not! They don't know The White Fang like I do.

There was a brief silence.

Weiss: ok, between blowing up nightclubs, stopping thieves, and fighting for freedom, I'm sure the 3 of you are think you're all ready to go out and apprehend these ne'er-do-wells...

Ruby: uh, who?

Weiss: but let me once again be the voice of reason. We're students, we're not ready to handle this sort of situation.

Ruby: well, yeah but-

Weiss: we're not ready!

Blake: AND WE MAY NEVER BE READY! OUR ENEMIES AREN'T JUST GONNA SIT AROUND AND WAIT FOR GRADUATION DAY! THERE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE, PLANNING THEIR NEXT MOVE, NONE OF US KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT ITS COMING! Wether we're ready or not.

Another brief silence.

Ruby: alright, all in favor of becoming the youngest huntresses to singlehandedly bring down a corrupt organization conspiring against the kingdom of Vale...say aye.
