Chapter 7: Dance Dance Infiltration
((Note: I decided to go more into the semblance & let you guess. Let's do this!!))
My POV
As I was dancing with Blake, I begin to see the people are enjoying themselves as well, even Glynda decided to dance with someone who look familiar: My supplier, Nehpets Sanders. I smiles at him, pulling a stunt like that.
Blake: Khiry?
Me: Yeah, Blake?
Blake: Is it ok if I go talk with Sun?
Me: Sure.
She decided to go & talk to him. I look at my left side & see Pyrrha, wearing a long, red dress, passing by me. I feel her sadness & expression as she walk upstairs. I started to follow her. She went outside on the balcony, looking at the night sky.
Me: Pyrrha?
She look at me.
Pyrrha: Hello Khiry.
I walk towards her.
Me: I didn't see you tonight. Neither of us did.
Pyrrha: Arrived late, I'm afraid.
I rest my forearms on the rail as I lean against the rail.
Me: Late..............yet, alone. But you do look very nice.
Pyrrha: Thank you. & yes, there is no guy.
???: What?
We look to see who said that & it was Jaune, standing at the doorway, looking a bit shocked.
Pyrrha: Nobody asked me.
Jaune walked towards us until he was near Pyrrha.
Jaune: But that's...! ...You're Pyrrha Nikos! How could nobody ask you?
Pyrrha: I've been blessed with incredible talents & opportunities. I'm constantly surrounded by love & praise. But when you're placed on a pedestal like that for so long, you become separated from the people that put you there in the first place. Everyone assumes I'm too good for them; That I'm on a level they simply can't attain. It's become impossible to form any sort of meaningful relationship with people.
Me: So that's why you like about Jaune.
Jaune: Really? Me?
Pyrrha: Yeah. When we met, you didn't even know my name or your buddy's old job. You treated me just like anyone else. & thanks to you, I've made friendships that will last a lifetime. I guess...you're the kind of guy I wish I was here with. Someone who just saw me for me.
She then started to walk away from us, heading down to the dance. Jaune look at me & I looked at him.
Jaune: Khiry?
Me: I'm the Silent Predator.
Jaune: Really? No lie?
Me: It's the truth.
Someone then approach towards us.
???: Hey, Khiry & uh...Jaune, right?
We look & see Neptune. Jaune sighed & what I heard from it. It is not a good thing.
Jaune: Yeah.
Neptune: This party's pretty lame, huh? I mean, ballroom dancing: Pbbfff.
Jaune: Yeah.
Neptune: Cute girls though, huh?
Me: Really? Is that all you think about?
Neptune: Huh?
Jaune: Do you even care about the girls you're hitting on? How they feel about you?
Neptune: Whoa, where's this coming from!?
Me: I want to know myself.
Jaune: How could you turn her down like that?
Neptune: Wait, who?
Jaune: Weiss!
Neptune: I, uh...
Neptune looks like he is trying to hide something from us. I have seen these signs & even experience it.
Neptune: ...it, uh... It just didn't work out. Y'know?
Me: Bull crap! You're hiding something for her & us, & that is the real reason. So, why don't you just tell us.
Neptune: I can't dance.
Me & Jaune: Beg your pardon?
Neptune: I can't dance, man.
Me & Jaune look at each in surprised to hear that Neptune, the coolest looking person, can't dance. I'm still surprised. However, Jaune went to talk.
Jaune: But you're...so...cool.
Neptune: Thank you. I try really, really, hard.
Jaune: You would rather break a girl's heart, & go to a dance alone, than just admit to everyone that you can't move in rhythm to music?
Neptune: That about sums it up, yeah.
Me: Now, I do feel sorry for both of you. Neptune, I can't say I don't blame you.
Jaune: Well, I certainly feel a lot better about myself.
Neptune: Please don't tell anybody. Look, if you want Weiss, she's all yours; I don't wanna get in your way.
I look at Jaune while he turn around to face Neptune as he sighed & lean on the rail.
Jaune: Do you like her?
Neptune: Yeah, I mean, I don't know her too well yet, but she seems pretty cool.
Me: Then go talk to her.
Jaune: No pickup lines, no suave moves. Just be yourself. I've heard that's the way to go.
Neptune: Yeah, but..
Me: No buts. You don't have to look cool all the time.
Jaune: In all honesty, if you could be a little less cool, I'd really appreciate it.
Me: What I'm saying here for the both of you is that when a girl likes you, just make her happy. See her smile. I learn that the hard way.
Neptune: Okay.
Jaune: Go talk to her. I guarantee it'll make her night.
Neptune: Thanks. You too are really cool guys.
Jaune: Alright, don't lie to my face.
Neptune fist bump both of us as he turn & walk down to the dance & talk with Weiss.
Me: Now what?
Jaune: Only one thing left to do.
Me: Well, I'll see you downstairs.
I decided to head back down & dance some more with Blake. I am feeling a little weird, but I ignore it & shake it off. I walk through the crowd & tapped Blake on shoulder. She turn around & saw me.
Blake: Hey. Where did you go?
Me: Went to talk with Pyrrha, Jaune, & Neptune. Sometimes, I feel like a pastor when people wants to talk about their problems. Wanna dance some more?
Before She was about to answer, we heard some laughter. We look where everyone is looking at. I see something even I was shocked to see.
Me: It's Jaune....wearing a dress.
Blake started to laugh at that, then I joined in too. We then tried to regain our composure by stop laughing.
Blake: He pull it off so well.
Me: I'm not gonna lie. He does look good in that dress.
We then see him & his team pulled off an sweet dance number. We were cohesive & dancing with the rhythm of the music. I am still feeling weird a little more. I decided to step out for a bit. I got away from the doorway, but I now seen a figure running on the rooftops. She is heading somewhere so I proceed to follow & She lead me to a tower in beacon. I look around to see, but I couldn't find her. However, I see a guard who is knocked out. I know that I can do that, but someone has the balls to so what I do. I rush inside & see more guards knocked out, as if the guards pull up a fight. I pressed a button for the elevator to open. I got in & head up to the top floor. I took off my suit & underneath it is my spy suit equipped with two Five-Seven on my side. I arrived at the top as the door open. I quietly step out with the dual pistol in hand. I also use my nose to smell a familiar fiery sense. I closely walk towards the direction.
Me: No use in hiding. Come out now.
The woman came up from her spot & walk in front to see me. As I got a look in her eye & a smirk on her face.
???: Aww. The Silent Predator look so cute.
Me: Cut the damn chit chat. You ain't giving up the info you got. So give it to me or die right here?
Her answer: She pull a canister & slash through the air creating crystal shards. She push all of them, but I dodge all & I deliver a punch to her, but she block it. She bring out dual swords that been conjured up by fire.
Me: Fire. I know someone else who does that.
We are countering each other until she backflip & charge to three arrows at me. She fire & a direct hit with smoke. I somehow summon a shield to block it & have a stare down.
Me: It's over, Cinder.
The sound of the elevator open with Ironwood. He is looking at me, so when I turn around, she has disappeared. Now the one thing that is going through my mind: Why was she here?.
((DONE))
