The Knight of the Grimm (Awaiting Rewrite)

My Nature

Jaune was getting ready, he grabbed his back-pack and also grabbed redemption, he opened the door to see Neo and Arslan waiting for him, he smiled at them

"You ready to go?" Jaune asked them

Neo and Arslan nodded. The three went outside to see RRBN waiting for them, they were heading to Haven, Ruby had told them what they were going there for, hoping to find answers on Cinder. Jaune knew they wouldn't, Salem had informed him of her plans days earlier, he was now able to figure out what they planned on doing, they were going to use the spring maiden, where ever she was, and use it to get into the vault that held the Relic of Knowledge and bring it back to Salem, his Mission along with Cinders and a man named Hazel's was to get the Relic as well as the Maidens powers. Jaune needed to figure out how to give Salem the Relic or give her the maidens powers, of course, she would put him in high regard if he gave her the Relic, but if he gave her that, then she would be close to building the Scale.

He was also aware that someone was following them, he didn't know who, but he would sometimes feel someone directly behind him but there was no one around. they left and began to head to the nearest town that would lead them to Haven. Jaune was planning on taking them to Mistral on a Bullhead, but they would still have to walk there. and it was a week to the nearest town. At least he would have time to catch up on the things he missed.

"And then this giant Gorilla Grimm attacked Ruby!" Nora said with cheer "but that Ice-bitch took it out" Nora finished

"Nora, language" Ren told her

"Sorry Ren" Nora replied

Jaune and Neo chuckled at this and continued to listen to Nora's frantic stories.

Arslan looked at Ruby and Blake as she turned away from Nora, "is she always this hyperactive?" Arslan asked

Ruby and Blake sighed, "you have no idea..." Blake said

"So, Jaune use to be from Beacon?" Arslan asked

"yeah, we hung out with him back then but Blake mostly hung out with him," Ruby said "it's maybe the fact that he saved Blakes life," Ruby said

Arslan smiled and looked to Blake "he saved your life?"

Blake nodded, "I was attacked by a Beowulf and let my guard down, I passed out and the next thing I know I'm alone in a cave with Jaune," Blake said

Arslan giggled a little, "that kinda sounded the wrong way" Arslan laughed

Blake just groaned, "it wasn't like that, and trust me, most everyone thought me and Jaune were dating when he first came to Beacon because we hung out so much," Blake told her

"I see, but did the thought ever occur to you?" Arslan asked,

"what thought?" Blake asked back

"Ya know, Dating Jaune? It never slipped your mind?" Arslan asked

Blake paused for a bit. The Idea had slipped her mind once or twice, she would admit that Jaune was handsome in his own way, his dark blue eyes seemed endless, like the ocean itself was behind those eyes, and his smile, even if it seemed goofy sometimes, mad her smile, sometime it would even giver her butterflies.

"No, the thought never slipped my mind" Blake replied

'Lier' both Arslan and Ruby thought

They both saw the clear blush that she had while thinking of her answer. To Arslan, it was clear that the Cat Faunas had feelings for the fellow blonde teen, or she was still unaware of them, while Ruby... let's just say that as soon as she heard how Jaune saved her, he had become like every Knight in her mother's fairy tales.

"So what was he like when you guys met him?" Arslan asked

Ruby and to think for a while before answering, "he was cool! He was very skilled for most of our year, he was one of the two people who came close to beating Pyrrha Nikos" Ruby said

"I see, but did he have semblance activated then?" She asked

"yeah, but after it was revealed, he was treated differently... and we didn't stop to help him," Blake said

Ruby nodded sadly, "we didn't help him, and maybe that's why he faked his death"

"I don't think you guys should blame yourselves," Arslan told them "it was a big mistake to shun someone you call a friend, but that was in the past, but what you did was somewhat natural, many people don't stick up for friends, while it is stupid it's also very reasonable in a small sense" Arslan finished

"how so?" Ruby asked

"well, Embarrassment is a major issue we all suffer from, no one wants to be embarrassed, and both human and faunas try to avoid Embarrassment. It's natural" Arslan said

They nodded at her but were also very surprised by her insight on the subject

"you must have gone through something similar" Blake said

"No actually," Arslan said "Before attending Haven academy, I use to think I was unstoppable, I was one of the strongest people in my school, but over time I had a friend who I knew since childhood, but because of my ego I didn't see her as a friend, so I bullied her, yet she kept treating me as of we were equals, that made my ego hurt more so one day I decided to challenge her in combat class"

"what happened?" Ruby asked,

"I beat her, but after that, I humiliated her..." Arslan began, she took a deep breath "she still was nice to me, then one day, we were sent to hunt a certain Grimm, being the stupid kid I thought i could take on more than one, but something happened, I got attacked by Beowulf and then out of nowhere she appeared and the result was her losing her leg's"

Ruby and Blake looked at her sympathy

"I didn't understand how she could protect me after everything I did to her, she said she forgave me, but I couldn't forgive myself after everyone heard they talked badly about her and they kept talking about terrible things about her, and it was then that I decided to never become like that person I once was, so I decided to understand my emotions"

"What happened to your friend?" Blake asked

"she's at home working for her family's flower shop in our town. I told her I was going to repay her back for saving my life"

"How so?" Blake asked

"I'm gonna give her something special, I'm gonna give her life back," Arslan said

Ruby and Blake smiled at her, so far everything seemed good, they were on their way to Mistral, and once there they were gonna find answers. Jaune and Blake both knew that once there they would have to be careful, there was no doubt that one of Salem's goons was gonna be there, and whoever they were, they would beat them.
