I felt my eyes grow more tired. As soon as I shut them, I drifted off to sleep.
It must have been a couple of hours later, when I woke up again. This time, I had enough strength to use my Semblance, even though it was just enough to identify who was in here with me.
I wonder what Coco, Velvet, Fox and Yatsuhashi want?
"Just leave it there Velvet. She'll read it when she wakes up." Coco said slightly annoyed.
"She can't see Coco, or did you forget that?" Velvet said as I tried to stifle a chuckle from escaping from me. The pain in my ears however, was still too painful to forget about.
"Yeah, I forgot okay."
"I'll have to message Blake to read it too her later."
The voices were getting to loud for my recovering ears. "Can you guys, please be quiet. My ears still hurt." I said which seemed to catch them all off guard.
"Fran!? You're awake?" Fox, Coco and Velvet exclaimed.
"Argh!" I cried out covering my ears.
"Sorry." The three whispered.
As the pain subsided in my ears, I felt someone sit on the infirmary bed. "How are you feeling, Fran." I heard Velvet say.
"I'm feeling better now. The pain in my ears is still there, but less so now."
"Well at least that's good to hear. I guess you can tell her what you wanted to say, Velvet." I heard Fox say.
Velvet wanted to say something to me? It'll be something like scolding me for being too careless.
Whatever it was, Velvet didn't sound too keen to tell me. "N-Never mind him. I-I'm just glad you're alright, Fran. Come on we have to get moving, our Airship leaves soon. We'll see you later Fran." Velvet rushed her words out in quite a hurry. Within seconds I sensed everyone had left. It made my head spin because of how fast she spoke, it was just as hard to keep up and understand what she said.
I better get some rest. I'm guessing Miss Goodwitch will come and get me later. I hope the pain in my ears is gone by then.
I thought to myself as I shut my eyes. Immediately, I felt my eyes grew heavy again and I slowly drifted away.

When I awoke again, the pain in my ears had subsided for now, thankfully. The doctors had cleared me, after they performed an exam. Just to see that there wouldn't be any lasting damage to my hearing. As soon as they were finished, I sensed Professor Ozpin and Miss Goodwitch enter the infirmary ward as the doctors left the room.
"I see that you are feeling better now, Miss Scarlet."
"Yes, Professor. And I have come to a decision about your offer. After being cooped up here all day, I've had a lot of thinking to do. If you are reassured that my Faunus heritage won't affect my mental stability, while in this form, I have decided to agree to your proposal."
"If you are sure about this Fran, then I'll support you, though it can wait until the next semester." Miss Goodwitch said.
"Though I am glad you have taken up my offer." The Professor said. "I would have to agree with Glynda, you just got out of the infirmary. It can wait until you get back." The Professor said as I sensed Miss Goodwitch walk over to me.
"Shall we go, you still have some time before the Airship leaves with Miss Rose and her friends." Miss Goodwitch asked as I happily nodded.
"Yes please. I guess I'll see you later Professor. Try not to annoy Miss Goodwitch too much, while I'm gone." I teased as I heard the Professor chuckle.
"I'll try not to, Miss Scarlet. Please enjoy yourself." The Professor said as Miss Goodwitch and I left the Infirmary together.

As soon as I got back to my dorm room, I sensed Blake, Ruby, Yang and Weiss were already there. Strangely, I sensed Miss Goodwitch walk away.
I wonder where she's going.
Before I could ask, I opened the door and felt someone jump at me.
"Fran! I'm so glad you're coming with us!" Ruby said as she leaped at me. Somehow, I managed to keep my balance as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Wow, there Ruby! Let her in the room first. She just got out of the infirmary, remember?" Yang said.
"S-Sorry, Fran. I guess I got a bit carried away." Ruby nervously laughed.
"It's fine, Ruby. You were just excited. Are you sure that your father is okay with having all of us?" I asked.
"He's already made room for all of us, had to make some adjustments to the Princess's room. You never know with her standards." Yang said as Weiss retorted.
"Hey! I'm fine, with the beds here, aren't I?" Weiss asked as Yang chuckled.
"Kidding, I was just joking, Weiss. I'm surprised you're coming with us and not going back with your dad?"
Weiss groaned. "Please don't bring up my father. I at least want to enjoy myself."
With that I sensed Miss Goodwitch walk back to my room. "Here, you go, Fran. Just make sure you come back in one piece, okay." Miss Goodwitch said as she handed me something quite heavy. "I've packed everything that you'll need for a couple of weeks. Just make sure you get those blood packs on ice before expire."
I carefully placed the suitcase down and embraced her. "Thank you, so much Miss Goodwitch. You and the Professor took me when you didn't need to." I felt her tap my shoulder.
"I knew your parents when they were students here. What sort of friend to your parents would Ozpin and I be, if we didn't take you in." Miss Goodwitch ruffled my hair. "I'm glad you came to us."
"Thank you Miss Goodwitch." I said as I pulled away from her.
"Have you girls packed up all your things?" Miss Goodwitch asked.
"Yes, Professor. As leader of team RWBY, it was all handled the night before." Ruby answered.
"You mean, you had a rush this morning to gather all your things and barely finished in time for Fran's match." Weiss said as Ruby nervously laughed.
"Don't worry, Professor Goodwitch. Everything has been taken care of." Blake said as picked up my suitcase. "I have already loaded everyone's things onto the airship."
"Yeah and Dad said he was coming to pick us up when we get back into Vale." Yang said.
"Then I see that everything has been taken care of. Remember to wash your wings when you shower, and make sure you eat properly." Miss Goodwitch said as she spun me around so I presumed I was facing her.
"Miss Goodwitch!" I groaned to her as I felt my cheeks heat up. After waving goodbye to her and the Professor at the entrance to Beacon, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang and I walked to the Airship for our trip to Vale.
As the minutes passed as we all sat on the Airship to Vale, there was a bunch of questions that I wanted to ask Ruby and Yang, but I didn't know if I could.
"Fran, is something bothering you?" Yang asked.
I slowly nodded my head. "I guess you could say that. I'm a bit nervous going to Patch and meeting your father."
"There's nothing to worry about. Dad won't care if you're a Faunus or a human, as long as you're a good person that's all that matters." Yang said.
"Yeah."
"But I killed a person!" I cried out as tears fell down my face.
"Yes, but you had no other choice. As much as I badly handled it, and god knows I could have understood your point of view, their father raised them, so if they are more accepting and understanding than I was, then you have nothing to worry about their father. I'm sure he'll understand if you need to tell him." Weiss said as she held my hand and squeezed it tightly.
"Yeah, you won't have anything to worry about with Dad." Ruby said as I felt her pat my back.
I wiped away the tears. "Thanks, guys."
"No problem, it's what friends are for." Blake said as she held me other hand.
***
Soon we eventually landed, and I sensed someone standing nearby.
Okay, here goes nothing.
"Dad!" I sensed Yang and Ruby run passed me and up to their Dad.
"There you guys are. I've been waiting forever for you both to show up. So how has my little angles been?" He asked as the two pushed away from him.
"Daaaaaad!" Yang groaned.
"Do you really need to embarrass us in front of our friends." Ruby cried out as Blake, Weiss and I giggled.
"So, these are the friends you wrote about, Ruby?" Their father asked.
"Yes, Dad. This is Weiss, Blake and Fran." Ruby introduced.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir." Weiss said.
"It's good to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you." Blake said.
Okay my turn now.
"Umm. It is a pleasure to meet you. I hope I won't be a bother to you." I said as I politely bowed, which lead to the sisters in front of me to laugh, just as their father groaned.
"Please don't pull that polite crap. It gets weird after a while, just be yourselves." He said. "The name is Taiyang Xiao Long. Just call me Tai."
"That means you too Ice queen." Yang called out to her.
"H-Hey! I can be fun!" Weiss said as I felt someone touch my hand.
"Come on, let's go." Blake said as we walked towards the three, shortly Weiss joined us as me made our way to Patch.
