Chapter 14: Friends who care.

~Beacon infirmary~

~Third person view~

With team RRWBY: Ruby was sniffling at the farthest seat from the entrance in the waiting room with Yang trying to cheer her up by holding her and patting her head. Blake was sitting a few seats from them with a book in her hand but was too depressed to crack it open. As for Weiss, she was intensely pacing back and forth in front of the room where her team leader was currently getting treatment.

Team CFVY on the other hand: Coco was debating on reading her newest issue of a fashion magazine. She really wants to read it but also wants to wait for a doctor to give them info on Tristan's status. She could simply do both but she knows that it would take a lot to rip her away from the article once she gets into it. Fox, was calmly meditating on a chair with his head tilted up. Velvet sitting in a chair, also crying like Ruby, saddened of the thought of her friend getting hurt. Finally, Yatsuhashi was working on a Sudoku puzzle sheet to try and keep his mind off of this tragedy.

*SLAM*

The sound of someone slamming against the doors of the infirmary waiting room entrance. "We just got your message! Is he all right?" Pyrrha asked. In the waiting room now stood the teams RRWBY, CFVY and the newly arrived JNPR. "Guys, what happened to him?" Jaune asked. Blake got up from her seat and informed them.

"We don't really know what happened. We were working on our dust project, then we got a call from Glynda that Tristan was receiving intensive care. So we rushed over." Yang then finished the rest for Blake. "When we got here, Glynda told us to wait outside and we saw doctors running in the room in a panic." Coco then added. "We got the same message as you guys."

"So no one knows what happened," Ren asked, hoping for a good answer. Everyone shook their heads no. it was then, with perfect timing, a figure walked out of the room where Tristan was in. Everyone looked at Glynda with hope that they'll finally get information on what the hell is going on. They could tell that even their teacher was worried by her expression alone.

There were several questions that were thrown her way, making her like she's being interrogated. "Ms. Goodwitch, is Tristan alright?" was asked by Ruby. "What happened to him?" by Jaune. "Is he healing well?" by Yatsuhashi. "How did he get hurt?" was asked by Velvet. And the final one to ask was Blake. "How's our leader doing?"

Despite the teachers saddened look, she still managed to silence everyone by smacking her riding crop on the wall, causing a loud smacking sound throughout the room. Afterwards, she adjusted her glasses and finally spoke. "Mr. Rider's condition is stable for right now. He lost a significant amount of blood but we have blood bags in use. We were fortunate enough to find his blood type before doing so."

"Okay, but what exactly happened to him?" Yang asked. Before Glynda could elaborate, another voice was heard. "It was my fault," that voice came from none other than Ozpin as he walked out of his nephew's room. Everyone turned their attention to him. His clothes were still damp, his black button up coat was missing and his hair was messy. So far, the students always known their headmaster to be a prim and poised man that always kept the same expression. But this wasn't the Ozpin they knew he looked... emotionally broken.

"Students, there is something you must know about your friend," Ozpin said. 'Are you really going to tell them?' Glynda was thinking. Everyone now was intrigued and listened closely. Ozpin sighed. "It may have been obvious to some but...Tristan has never seen combat in his life before arriving at Beacon." This news didn't really surprise some of the individuals for they have seen his skill in battle before. They knew that it just had to be the skills of a complete amateur.

Ozpin continued. "In fact, he's never even seen a grimm outside of his hometown before arriving. He never had to pick up a weapon to defend his land cause it was so well protected." Now this was major news to the students (well, except for one of them). "A village so well protected that he's never seen a grimm?" Fox asked, astonished. "Please, let me finish," Ozpin told him.

"So in a foolish attempt to train him in using his skills against grimm, I took him hunting. We ended up getting surrounded and..." His next line was difficult to bring out. "His aura ran out and an alpha beowolf managed to get a hold of him. I wish to refrain from describing his wounds until we get word from the doctor but you can all imagine how it went down."

Everyone's mouth was agape in shock. Nora then asked. "Are his wounds that bad?" The headmaster's only reply was a nod to Nora's question. It was then that a doctor tapped on Ozpin's shoulder, causing him to turn around and face the man.

"Ozpin, I have the report that you wanted," the doctor said. Ozpin nodded his head once again, signaling for the doctor to continue. "Well. All his vital organs are running properly. The beowolf's jaws wasn't deep enough to touch any of them. As for his right ankle... it has swelled severely due to hitting something, causing a minor fracture." Ozpin stopped him there to add. "That was most likely from the alpha running through the dense woods. Tristan could've hit some of his limbs on a tree or two."

The doctor acknowledged the cause of the fracture and wrote that down on his clipboard. Ozpin then asked. "Is he awake?" The doctor shook his head. "No. He is still unconscious from the blood loss and doesn't show any sign of waking up any time soon. All we can do now is wait." The Uncle hung his head low as the head doctor left the room. His assistant put a hand on his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him.

He turned around to face his students and regained his composure. "He may not be the best fighter but he definitely has the heart of one. He did his best out there and killed grimm with all his might. Even when his own life was on the line, he saved me from a grimm as well. This situation was due to my mistakes and mine alone. It should've been me in that room being treated, not him. But still, he displayed all the qualities of being a warrior and I know he won't let this setback stop him. I know he'll pull through and I hope all of you believe the same."

Ozpin's speech was random and monotone. Yet, it still made the students feel a little bit calmer but not by much. Ruby then asked. "Can we see him?" Ozpin answered. "I'm afraid not. We need to keep him under surveillance to monitor his vital signs for the night. I'm sorry. You can see him tomorrow if you'd like and I will keep you all updated on his condition in the morning. In the mean time I suggest you go back to your dorms and pray for him."

Everyone was reluctant to do so but complied. One by one, they all left for their dorms. As for Ozpin and Glynda, they stayed behind. Ozpin then asked his trusted colleague. "Would you mind going to my house and fetching me a change of clothes. I wish to not leave his side." Glynda replied. "I'll be right back then." And so, Glynda went off to Ozpin's home for a new outfit. When Ms, Goodwitch was at the waiting room exit, she decided to look back at her boss. All she saw was Ozpin's low hanging head, yet, there were no signs of tears.

~Ruby POV~

After getting back to our dorm room, the first thing me, Weiss, Blake, and Sis set our sights on was Tristan's empty bed. The happy meter in the room was at an all time low. All I could think about is if our friend was okay. "What do we do now?" asked Blake. Yang then said. "I'm to depressed to keep working on our project. Do you think Professor peach will extend it?" Weiss answered. "As long as she knows about Tristan's condition."

Blake and I agreed about the project. "I think we should visit him during lunch tomorrow. What do you girls think?" asked Blake. I then suggested. "We should get him flowers when schools over too." everyone nodded. It was too late of the day to get them now. After the agreement we all started doing our own separate things to get our minds clear. But sadly polishing my Crescent Rose was not helping.

I never knew what to think of Tristan when I first met him. Honestly, I still don't know him that well. He doesn't really talk about himself all that much. In fact he was more interested in everyone else and there lives. Even then he's been so nice to all of us, excluding Weiss. But to me, he acted like a brother. Even when he teases my silly love for weapons, I could tell he was only doing it cause we're friends and I wouldn't get mad about it. I just hope he'll wake up soon.

~Jaune POV~

I opened the door to our empty room and walked inside, my team following behind me. We all sat on our beds, trying to process the co-leader of team RRWBY's situation. "You know this explains so much about Tristan." Ren expressed. Pyrrha was curious. "Do you mean the fact that he never fought before?" Ren said yes to her question. Nora was sitting still and with a serious face, which was rare for her to do so.

Like Ren said, it all made sense. The only way an amateur like me could beat a family member of Ozpin was if he was either throwing the match for my sake or he was completely new to fighting. I've trained for nearly two years before Beacon but I still nearly lost to someone who just started. I cleared my head, trying to flush out those thoughts for now. I know this isn't about me and right now, I need to focus on helping out my friend.

"I think we should get him a get well gift. It would be the least we could do," I spoke out. Nora agreed. "Yeah. It would be the thought that counts." Pyrrha perked up when the idea was thrown. "I think that's a great idea. But what do we get him?"

Nora, Pyrrha, and I suggested different things. I said that we should get him a simple stuffed animal. Nora told us we should get him a plate of pancakes (we all shot that idea down as soon as it left her mouth). Finally, Pyrrha wanted to get Tristan some flowers. But for Ren... well I think his was the best idea.

~Velvet POV~

My eyes were finally dry after my small cry session. After leaving the infirmary I told my team that I would be back soon. I'm actually in Vale, the sky getting darker by the minute. I wanted to go to a store to buy Tristan a get well gift. Some stores would be closed by now but I know of a few that are still opened. I heard a ring on my scroll. The video call coming from Yatsuhashi. I answered. The screen forming into a video of all three of my friends.

"Velvet, where did you go to?" my large teammate asked. "I'm just getting something for Tristan, maybe a card too," I told them. Coco then questioned. "But why this late? We could've done this after school, ya know?" I simply responded with. "Coco, I'll be fine out here if that's what you're thinking." Fox was the last of them to speak. "Just get back soon, okay? This town can get dangerous at night." I nodded my head and replied to my blind friend. "Got it. I'll be quick. Bye guys."

I waved to the camera and hung up my scroll. The few stores that had lights on were difficult to find gifts for my friend. While walking, my mind drifted to Tristan. I couldn't help but feel that it was my fault for not training him well enough. But then again, if he really never had battle experience before coming here then I guess he could only accomplish so much in nine days.

Of course I knew of this before everyone else, though I tried to give him a challenge during our sparring sessions. He was holding back too, I don't know if it was because I was a girl or if he was just a little bit of a pacifist but even then, if he went all out he couldn't really do much. Before I could think of anything else, my eyes took notice of a window with random toys on display. Behind the displayed items I found something that I prayed that he would like when he wakes up. Luckily the store was still opened right now.

~2 days later~

~Unknown POV~

It finally happened. The day finally came. As of today, I was finally an official Huntsman. My graduation was a wonderful ceremony and to make things better, I graduated, top of my class. The only thing that could make it better is if my family was here to congratulate me. Unfortunately they were running late, due to traffic.

I was currently speaking with some friends that partook in my classes. "So what do you plan on doing now that you've graduated, 'Mr. Star Student'?" My teammate said. I answered truthfully. "Well I plan on traveling with my little brother. I'll train him during that time till he reaches the age to attend Beacon."

My good friend laughed and gave me a hard slap on my back. "Well, if that pipsqueak is anything like his older brother then we have no worries. Right Lilith?" His question towards my friend Lilith made her giggle at the thought of it. "I think that's a great plan. Just as long as I go with you," Lilith requested. You see, Lilith wasn't just on my team, she is also my beloved girlfriend. Of course I planned on taking her with me, I would be insane not to. I said 'Yes' to her demands and she gave me a hug and a quick peck on the lips.

"Big bro!" I heard a loud call, a call that I knew all to well. As soon as I turned around I was met with my ten year old brother hugging me with all his strength. "Well speak of the devil," my friend, Arthur said aloud. I patted my kin on the head and knelt down to his level. "Are you ready to leave in a month?" I asked him. "You bet I am. I can't wait to go on an adventure." he replied.

I knew the day would come when I had to make him ready for the tough world out there. And I had too... for both our sake's. It was then I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around to see Arthur, I asked "What?" Arthur then held out his hand. "I have to go right now but just so we're clear. The next time we see each other, I will win the next fight," Arthur said.

"Well, Arthur Arc, what makes you think you can beat me after all these years we've sparred?" I grabbed his hand in a firm shake. "Mark my words, Grayson Reign: I will beat you." After his claim, he turned and left. Waving goodbye as he stolled. "Later Grayson, Lilith, Ozpin. Good luck." the two beside me waved back.

I stood there as he walked away, leaving only me, my girlfriend, and my brother. Speaking of my brother. "Grayson, I'm hungry. Can we go and eat?" I smiled and nodded. "Of course Lil' Ozzy" I looked at my beloved. "Do you wish to join us?" Lilith answered with a 'Yes'. And with that we went off, ready to celebrate the next chapter of our lives.

~Tristan POV~

My eyes. My eyes slowly opened up, letting light into my field of vision. My head is filled with both confusion and a throbbing pain. My mental state, currently trying to grasp my surroundings. All I could see is a white ceiling. I slowly lifted up my head, turning it to see my surroundings. I could see white walls, one with a digital clock that read 8:52 a.m., chairs aligned next to the door that leads out of the room. The windows with curtains barely covering them, let rays of sunlight into my unknown room.

I tried to prop myself up with my arms but the sharp pain in my stomach stopped me from doing so. The pain was intense but made me remember exactly what happened. The Falls, the grimm, the massive chunk of me that the beowolf nearly bit off. "So it wasn't a dream," I said to no one. Then my mind went to the part that was a dream. It felt as though I was actually somewhere else... and someone else. My head was still fuzzy on the details, well more like everything that I dreamed up, I couldnt remember. "Lil' Ozzy," escaped my lips. That was the one thing I didn't forget.

I saw that the inner side of the rails on my bed had various buttons on them, each for adjusting it. I clicked the one with the lifting upper torso icon. Slowly I rose with my head still planted on my pillow. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw certain objects come into view on a table, right next to my bed. One being a vase full of roses, the other being some sort of bonsai tree, and the last being a stuffed bunny in a nurses outfit.

Each of these items had a different colored 'get well' cards taped to them. I reached out my weak hand to grab all of them. I started reading the red and pink one that I grabbed from the vase.

"Please feel better soon, Tristan. We need our other leader and friend in top shape.

Love, Ruby, Blake, Yang, Weiss."

I smiled. I didn't think they'd be that worried about me but then again, there people, not heartless monsters like the one that put me in this situation. I set the card aside and moved on to the next one. This one was green and light blue.

"Hope this helps you feel better. We are all rootin' for ya

Signed, Team JNPR

P.S. As soon as you are able to walk again, we are celebrating with pancakes. ~ Nora"

My smile grew wider. "Of course, Nora." Now on to the last card that I picked off the stuffed animal. The gray and gold one.

"We wish you the best of luck in health, kid. Don't go dying on us anytime soon. Got it.

~ Your friends from Team CFVY."

"Why do I have a feeling you wrote this, Coco?" I said to myself. With all three cards read I looked at all the gifts that came with them. It made me... happy that they cared so much to do this. The roses showed no signs of wilting. The little tree was a bright green color, very well taken care of. And the stuffed animal was honestly pretty cute. The more I stared at it though the more I got a different picture in mind. That a certain someone else was in a nurses outfit. I shook my head to flush that mental thought out.

"Okay, maybe Ozpin was on to something after all," again, said to myself.

It was then I heard the door open. It was none other than Goodwitch walking in. her eyes went wide when she saw me. "You're up. How are you feeling?" She said swiftly. "Like crap," was my only reply. I turned my eyes back onto the table full of presents. "I see you found your friends gifts. It was surprising to see them all bring these at the same time. Personally I am fond of the juniper tree," Glynda said.

"Yeah. There all nice." I said. She then walked close to my bedside and grabbed my wrist. She looked at her watch with her fingers still on my wrist. It was a weird feeling having her hand on mine. While her eyes were focused on her watch, my eyes seemed to be concentrated on... well, her chest. I couldn't help but look, she was hot as hell and I'm pretty sure any guy would do the same in my situation.

"Mr. Rider, the longer you stare, the higher I will throw you into the sun with my semblance. Regardless of who you're related to, I won't hesitate to do so," Glynda threatened. I immediately darted my gaze to anywhere but her. She didn't even look but she still noticed. Considering how strict I've known her to be, I didn't want to take that chance.

She let go of my wrist. "Your pulse is normal. Ozpin will be pleased to hear of your awakening," She told me. I asked. "How long have I been out?" The teacher answered. "Two days. Ozpin felt so guilty that he stayed with you throughout the first night without sleep. It took a lot of convincing to get him to go home and rest."

I know I should blame Ozpin for what happened to me and I technically do. The fact that he felt that bad says something though. He's gonna owe me big time though. Glynda then said. "I'll inform your Uncle, team, and friends that you are awake. I'm sure they'll want to see you as soon as possible." She then walked to the opened door. But before she left, Glynda expressed to me. "I'm glad to know that your okay. And don't worry. You'll be back in class in no time."

With that, Glynda left the room, leaving me alone. I sighed. "Yay. More school..." I rested my head back on my pillow with my eyes closed. "Why does this stuff have to happen to me?"

End of chapter.

Now excuse me while I try to keep running from my ex-hitman.
