[Amber POV]
I have been training with this man called Ozpin to control my power ever since the meeting but his training methods are a bit aggressive. Maybe aggressive isn't the right word but it seems like I have to do a lot in a short spend of time. Combat, knowledge, and control over my powers were all trained on a daily basis with seemingly no end in sight. I asked Ozpin how long it will take to get control over my power and he replied that I'll know when the time comes. I did ask him questions about the academy, Beacon, and about the huntsmen/huntresses that are training at the academy. He told me various pieces of information and told me that the first years are going on missions that will be accompanied by professional huntsmen and huntresses.
I wonder how Jack is doing on this mission of his? Thankfully, he hasn't asked about the rest of my power but I feel like a bird in a cage at the moment. I know I can roam around certain parts of the campus for the most part but it always feel like I'm being watched and I'm not just saying that because I have an armed escort around e most of the time. I haven't really met anyone I could call a friend either with the minimal interaction I have to the rest to the students not to mention that some of them were out on that mission. In the meantime, I have to train to get stronger so that I won't have to be protected by Jack.
I walked down the halls toward the cafeteria to get myself some lunch. I wasn't supposed to go there but I'm starving and no here even knows who I am let alone the power I have. It didn't take long to reach the cafeteria and see the swarm of people trying to get lunch. I get in line and stare out the variety of options that they had for sale. I wasn't really feeling like eating pizza or chicken at the moment so I skipped those options and looked further down the list. Ultimately, I decided on some lasagna but I saw an option that was crossed off. It read, "Jack's Cream Puffs". He must've made some for the cafeteria to sell at some point. I got my tray and sat down at an empty table that a relatively far distance away from the cafeteria. I sat down and ate my food in silence. I was busy enjoying my food that I didn't notice someone approaching me. They tapped me on my shoulder to ask if she could sit at the table with me but my mind went entirely blank just looking at her face. Staring back up at me was the green haired woman that tried to kill me.
[Emerald POV]
I was walking to the cafeteria to get lunch thinking about my new situation. Mercury said that he had to go do something important but I wonder if he even wants to be around me anymore. I think that whatever relationship we had before can't exist because I'm apparently too pure for him. He informed me of various pieces of information about what I'm doing here, about my power, and how I'll be helping him fight but I can tell that he's holding back the most important details. It doesn't really matter though since there's nothing I can do about it anyway. I don't know how I would feel ratting him out and being arrested myself for associating with him. I also don't know how I should feel about having no friends to speak of. Apparently, I would at most make acquaintances with the people around me. Which means that other than Mercury, who's avoiding me, I don't have anyone to talk too. I got my food and scanned the surrounding students. Everyone just seems to have a group they are already hanging out with and I don't want to disturb that. After searching for a while, I see a girl with some scars over her face. I wonder how she got them. I saw that she was sitting by herself so maybe it would be easier making friends with her.
I walk over to tap her on the shoulder and she looked back up at me. There was a mix of emotions with the first being shock then fear and then anger. Did we know each other? If so, then I could have done something in the past that she disliked. I look over to her hand starting to form fire, yep I'm scared now.
Emerald: Hey. Please don't hit me. I have amnesia and I don't know what I did to warrant this but could you please calm down.
Amber: You expect me to believe you after you tried to kill me.
Emerald: I know it seemed far fetched but I really can't remember anything about that. Honestly, I don't know how to really fight, let alone use my semblance against you. I'm just really, really lonely so can you please have mercy on me and become my friend.
Amber: You're basically my nightmare in the flesh. The last time I saw you, you were chasing me and then I lost concousness. I guess its possible that you were injured in that fight but who's to say that you won't remember anything tomorrow.
Emerald: I can't honestly say that I won't wake up tomorrow as an evil villain but I ask that you to please befriend me anyway.
Amber: You try anything and I'll burn you till there's nothing left.
Emerald: I'd gladly take that chance.
I sat on the other side of the table and started some small talk with Amber. Amber's been telling me various information about the campus but she doesn't have much more information than me since she just started attending Beacon. I told her about my difficult situation ever since I lost my memories. I can fight based on instinct since my body remembers fighting even if my mind doesn't, but I have completely no control over my semblance. Which is concerning since some tournament is coming up and its important that I win with Mercury. I don't know why and I don't really want to help him. It's just that I have nothing that I really wanted to do other than make some friends.
Amber: I still don't trust you but if you don't want to do anything bad then just don't do it. I'll meet you here tomorrow but that doesn't mean were friends yet.
Emerald: Thanks.
Amber leaves me alone and I wonder if I could be half as strong as her.
