I'm going ahead and writing Chapter One. Yeah, I'm impatient. I'm also anxious. I'm sorry. Also, I'm going to do this in 1st person instead.
As I put my Scroll back on my pillow, making sure to turn it off so that the light doesn't wake anyone up, I sit up on my bed and look around. Aside from Blake, who's quietly reading a book, everyone's asleep. Weiss looks comfortable, and Yang is...my sister, I suppose. With a smile on my face, I looked around for something to do while everyone's out for a few hours. I could play Ninja Warrior X on my Scroll, but the single player mode's not that fun, and I don't know if Blake wants to play with me. I could watch a movie, but I'd have to turn the volume down, and click on the subtitles, and once it's done, I have to put a new one on. I could go make adjustments to Crescent Rose, but that could wake someone up and I'm not even sure we're allowed to go into the workshop at 4 AM. So it's two options: wake everyone up with my awesome whistle, or read a book. Blake seems to be having fun, so I guess I could grab something that catches my interest. I carefully make my way off of my bed and make my way over to her, whispering a quick, "Hey, Blake?" to her.
"Yeah?", she whispers back. She doesn't take her eyes off of me for a second, still reading with the same focus as she was earlier.
"Could I have a book, please? Anything else I'm thinking of to pass the time might wake someone up.", I quietly say, to which Blake nods. She grabs a book from the floor and looks at the cover, before passing it to me.
"Here.", she says before handing me the book. It's an anthology of old Fairy Tales, the cover showing things like four young girls with snow, flowers, the sun, and leaves around them, and two young men surrounded by a grand river. Not feeling like going back to my bed, I sit on the floor and crack it open. On the first page was a table of contents, with four different stories.
The Shallow Sea
The Story of the Seasons
The Tale of the Two Brothers
The Girl in the Tower
What shall Ruby do?
