A New Start

Should take you about 6 minutes to read

Part 1
The dark haired Faunus followed the crowd off the ship, when she got off the ship she saw the place she would call home for four years. When she started walking towards the school, she was stopped by a group of men.

“How did a Faunus get into Beacon?” said the tallest man to his friends. His friends started to laugh. As Selena started to walk away, one of the men tripped her.

“Where do you think you’re going, wolfie?” one said.

She didn’t answer, all she did was give him an emotionless look.

This angered the man, enough to start to pull her ears, so hard he started to lift her off the ground.

“HEY! Leave her alone!” said a female voice.



Reena was looking around for people that looked interesting to talk to, she was bored of being alone, she wanted a person she could talk to. She pushed through the crowd, sometimes she would have to jump to see around tall people. She saw two girls arguing. Reena loves when people fight, and was going to go watch, but was pushed away but a passing group of people, as they pushed passed her, she saw a flash of yellow. When she got away, she saw four men standing around a girl sitting on the ground, as she got closer, she saw the girl was a Faunus, and these men were bulling her. This angered Reena, she hates people how bully the Faunus.

“HEY! Leave her alone!” she said as she walked up to them.

The men turned to her.

“You think it’s funny, picking on her just...just because she’s different!?”

“Beacon is not a place for its kind” said one of the men.

Reena was so angry, she felt like her face was as red as her hair.

“Did you just call her “It”?” she pulled out a green, wooden rod from behind her back.



Selena couldn’t believe what she was seeing! A Human, was standing up for a Faunus! Selena had gone many years of her life thinking all Humans were evil, but here was one she didn’t know, willing to fight for her.

<p class="MsoNormal">She watched the red haired girl pull something from behind her back. It extended into a large spear.

<p class="MsoNormal">Some of the men were pulling out their weapons. Until one said “Whoa, hold up! That’s Hastings!”

<p class="MsoNormal">The men quickly put their weapons away and ran off.

<p class="MsoNormal">The girl walked up to Selena and held her hand out to her “Hey, you alright?” she said.

<p class="MsoNormal">Selena accepted the girls help.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You shouldn’t need to worry about them anymore!” the girl said and started laughing.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Thank you” said Selena.

<p class="MsoNormal">“So, what’s your name?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Selena Lupa”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Nice to meet ya! The names Reena, Reena Hastings”

Part 2
<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Pallas pushed through the crowd, she was looking for her brother, Trevor. He was in his fourth year at Beacon.

<p class="MsoNormal">She was getting annoyed by the amount of people stopping in front of her to talk to their friends.

<p class="MsoNormal">In the distance she saw the top of, what looked like her brothers head. She started to make her way over there, only to walk into someone and fall to the ground.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The Briggs twins stayed close, Kalista clung to her brother’s arm, she trusted that he would get them to where they needed to be.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You okay, Lista?” said her brother.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’ll be fine once we get out of the crowd. How much longer till we get to the auditorium?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Not much longer, we’re really close” he wasn’t looking where he was going and walked into someone.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Watch where your g..g..going” said the girl he walked into.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Pallas had never met someone she couldn’t talk to, but this man left her speechless.

<p class="MsoNormal">He helped her up, and apologized many times, but all Pallas could do was think about how good he looked. When she snapped back to reality she said “It’s okay! I wasn’t looking where I was going, it’s my fault”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’m just really sorry!” he said.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’m Pallas Mason, what are your names?” she said with a smile, she could care less about the girl, unless the girl was his girlfriend, and then there would be a problem.

<p class="MsoNormal">“My names Calum Briggs, and this is my twin sister, Kalista Briggs”

<p class="MsoNormal">‘Thank god!’ Pallas thought. “It’s a pleasure to meet you both” she said aloud. She saw her brother was gone. ‘Oh well, I’ll find him later, for now, I can get to know Calum!’ she thought.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Skip to the ballroom.

<p class="MsoNormal">All the freshmen had found a place to sleep, and were now hanging out and talking to each other. After Reena had helped Selena, they stayed together. Reena felt that Selena was interesting enough to talk to. All Selena wanted to know why she stood up for a Faunus.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Isn’t this chaos fantastic!” said Reena, she was talking about three girls arguing.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why did you help me?” asked Selena.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hmm, well, I don’t like it when people pick on the Faunus, it’s just really low for people, and you didn’t do anything to anger them, so I felt you didn’t deserve it! I can’t get to top, if I don’t help the people who may be the ones to get me there”

<p class="MsoNormal">Selena didn’t know what to say, there was only one other human she knew that felt that way. ‘Maybe not all humans are bad, I can see that now, I just have to find the ones that are good’ she thought to herself.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Pallas stayed with the Briggs twins, mostly because of Calum, but his sister troubled Pallas. She was so innocent, what would make her want to come to Beacon? All the people Pallas had met since she got to Beacon were all troubled, there was something about Kalista Briggs that Pallas wanted to know.

<p class="MsoNormal">“So, what’s your story?” Pallas asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">The two Briggs looked at her strange until Kalista said “We experienced loss at very young age”

<p class="MsoNormal">“What do you mean?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“We’d rather not get into it right now, it’s too hard to talk about” said Calum.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh. Well, my brother is in his fourth year here, and I promised him, that when I turned 17, he would see me here”

<p class="MsoNormal">“That’s nice, have you seen him yet?” said Kalista.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Uhh, not yet” Pallas thought back to when she saw him in front of the school.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Shortly after, they all fell asleep.
