Rowan’s Trip to Beacon (Sorta…) Pt 6!
Rowan: Okay, so the first thing we should do is find the rest of the others. Can I trust that you won’t try to start any more fights today?
Blaze: You act like I can’t behave myself.
Rowan: You normally don’t.
Blaze: Well I’m in a better mood now. What do you want, a pinky promise?
Yang: Maybe, if it means you take a chill pill.
Blaze: *sighs* Alright, I promise I won’t incite any more violence during this whole trip. Better?
Yang: Much, knew you’d come around. *pats behind his shoulder*
Blaze turns away, almost embarrassed at the sign of approval.
Blaze: Can we get going now?
Rowan: Yep, we’ll just head back to the mess and–
Turning the corner they nearly run into another group of students wearing Haven Uniforms.
Rowan: Oh sorry, didn’t mean to ruuu-…
Rowan’s words stopped coming out as soon as he recognized who was in front of him. Amber eyes stared at him as a young woman with black hair and fair skin, looked older but that’s only if you paid attention enough. She flashed a smile, but it wasn’t a genuine smile, that much he could see. You’d think she was a gorgeous woman, but for him, it was like he walked right up to the Devil. Not only that there were two others he was familiar with alongside her. A grey haired man with pale skin and a green haired woman with red eyes and dark skin.
Cinder: My apologies, it seems like we almost ran into each other.
Rowan didn’t speak, he could not tell if it was from fear or shock.
Mercury: Look at that, it seems like you stunned the poor kid with your looks. Maybe you should take a picture kid, it will last longer.
Emerald: Knock it off, Mercury. Kid, we’re kind of in a hurry.
Cinder: Hold on a moment you two.
Cinder narrowed her eyes for a second, in an analytical manner as if she was trying to put together a puzzle.
Cinder: Have we met before?
Rowan: No! No, no, not that I can recall. Definitely not…
Cinder still maintained her gaze, she didn’t say a word. Then she returned to her practiced expression then ‘smiled.’
Cinder: I suppose not. You meet so many transfers around you tend to mix up faces and people. Now, we do have to be off and we can’t be late. See you around.
Rowan only nodded and stepped aside.
Blaze who had been equally as disturbed moved aside as well. He held back making any noise in his throat and tried to not give away any indication of panic with his ears.
Yang: Huh, well that was weird. Third time I’ve seen those students from Haven, but maybe they’re preparing for the Vytal Festival. Anyway, are you guys ready to go?
Both Rowan and Blaze gathered their breaths and shared a look that was saying they dodged a bullet.
Yang: What’s up with you two? You looked like you’ve seen a ghost?
Blaze: More like the Boogeyman.
Rowan: Blaze. Please, just don’t.
Blaze: Rowan, you saw who that was. Don’t pretend like we didn't see who we definitely saw!
Rowan: I know. I know…
Yang: Hey, am I missing something?
Rowan: No! I mean, no. It’s fine Auntie Yang. Everything is fine.
The young man walked forward to reunite with the others, his friend and Yang watching him walk off like he had a storm cloud on his head.
Yang: So, am I missing something?
Blaze: Yeah. That’s one way to put it. All I can say is keep your head on a swivel with those people.
Yang: Who? The Haven Students?
Blaze: I already said all I can say for now. If we find the others I promise to tell you everything.
Yang: Wait I thought Rowan said talking about the future-
Blaze: Screw what he said earlier, I didn’t promise anything.
Yang: …Okay. You’re starting to make me nervous, you should know?
Blaze: If I were you, I’d be scared too.
