The party went on a little after midnight before Ozpin told the students that tomorrow would start their training and told everyone to head to the ballroom for the night. As he said this, he seemed like he was thinking of other things. After this he was the first one to leave the cafeteria and head to his office leaving glynda to direct traffic and show the students the ballroom. Seth was still outside when he saw the students leaving the cafeteria. He didn’t like the idea of people all around him while he slept. So he curled up into the fetal position with his tail under his head. He felt much more comfortable outside in the open in the cool night air. Beside him was his tray of half eaten food and cores.
However, as the students headed towards the ballroom and awaited their next day at Beacon. Outside the walls of vale, in the deepest part of the forest. A sinister plot was unfolding, something that not even the most dark hearted villains would attempt to try, but yet one such group where not only willing to try. They were succeeding.

Outside of vale:A woman walked across the metal bridge that over looked a cage filled with thick brush. The white fang member waiting for her looked visibly scared as she stopped in front of him and placed her hands in the pockets of her white lab coat. She blew a strand of her purple hair away from her face before she sighed.
“Mrs. Viper, what a wonder it Is to see you,” the White Fang member stuttered.
“Enough with the formalities just tell me how the project is going,” Viper said. She was visibly anger that she had to be out in the forest or for that matter be talking to someone like this white fang member.
“Yes, well, um,” the White Fang member stuttered before he gave his report, “We were successful in creating four Stackers. However, there were some complications.”
“What sort of complications?” Viper questioned as she narrowed her eyes at the White Fang member. The White Fang member chuckled nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck. Viper took her hands from her pockets and folded them in front of her as she tapped her foot on the metal walkway.
“Well, we created three male Stackers and one female in hopes of them acting like normal if they weren’t inside the cage. However, it seemed the female,” the member explained before he added, “Ate them.”
“She ate them?” Viper questioned as her right eyebrow rose.
“It happened a few days ago: we usually send farm animals into the cage so they can learn how to hunt. The female caught on real quick on hunting tactics, but the males seemed to stumble along the way. One night she just snapped and killed the three males and ate them,” the White Fang member explained. As if on que, screeching came from the cage under the metal walk way they were standing on.
“Seems she’s hungry again,” another member said over the intercom. Viper looked intrigued as she looked to the white fang member in front of her for an explanation.
“After she ate the others, she’s screeches like this every five hours of each day. She doesn’t stop until we send in an animal for her to hunt and eat,” the White Fang member explained before he started towards the lever to let an animal into the cage.
Viper happened to look down into the thick brush in the cage and saw a pair of eyes staring back at her. However, the eyes moved from her to the White Fang member who was walking towards the lever. As the member rounded the corner. There was a screech and the creature in the cage lunged at the corner wall and slammed its body against it. The wall shook and as it did, the White Fang member lost his balance and fell into the cage. There was another screech followed by the sound of tearing flesh and broken bones.
Clever girl Viper thought with a smile.
“Shoot her!” another Fang member shouted as three other fang members ran out with sniper rifles.
“Cancel that order!” Viper shouted.
“But Ma’am? One of the Fang members questioned.
“I will not lose precious data like this. Sedate her and take her DNA while she is asleep. Only make female Stackers,” Viper ordered before she continued, “That’s an order!” she then looked towards the cage and her eyes once again locked on the creatures eyes. You are perfection Viper thought as she smiled and her forked tongue flickered from her mouth.

Next day:In the early morning around 8am. Humming noise went over the intercom of Beacon academy before Glynda’s voice echoed around the campus, “Attention all student. Your first test will begin at 10am sharp. Please meet at the cliffs overlooking the Emerald forest. I will not tolerate tardiness. You either are at the cliffs at 10 or you’re on the next air ship out of Beacon.”
Seth stretched as the announcement echoed through the air. He yawned as he sat up and looked around. A chipmunk scurried way from him as it carried an apple core in its mouth
“Well good morning to you too ma’am,” Seth said as he rubbed his eyes and yawned again before he stood up. His joint popped with each movement as he stretched to wake himself up.
Guess I should head to the cliffs. Don’t want to get kicked out on the second day Seth thought.
