Time to be the Winter Maiden. Hopefully my powers will make short work of them.
As everyone else was helping Yang and Ruby, I took on the two emerging Grimm. The Nevermore let out a head-thumping howl as I heard the King Taijitu slither below me. The Nevermore fired its feathers as projectiles at me, however I effortlessly dodged them and fired an arrow at it. The arrow flew gracefully in the air and collided with the Grimm's head, killing it instantly.
Okay one down, just one more to go.
I used my Semblance to try and figure out how the others are doing. Ruby, Blake, Weiss and Yang were holding their own against the Nevermore, while the others were dealing with the Deathstalker. I turned my attention back to the King Taijitu.
Professor Ozpin said that if two or more King Taijitu are close to each other, they can merge together. I'll have to end this quickly.
I notched an arrow and aimed it at one of the Grimm's heads, unfortunately it missed. It seemed to notice who tried to attack it, as one of its heads lunged toward me. Thankfully, I managed to dodge its attacking head. Unfortunately, what I did not take into consideration was its other head. Its head barrelled into me, knocking me out of the air. I landed hard on the grassy ground. It took me around 10 seconds for me to get up from the ground and regain myself. As I used my Semblance, I noticed that the King Taijitu was beginning to cycle around me.
I need to make a move and fast. Fine, I guess I have to do it. I hope that Ruby and the others aren't looking at my battle.
I gathered my Aura and covered my location in thick icicles, hopefully trapping the King Taijitu, but not me. Thankfully, it worked and the Grimm was trapped. The icicles stabbed deep into its scaly skin.
Hah, got you!
As the King Taijitu was stuck and couldn't escape from the icicles that had embedded into its thick skin, I fired two arrows into the two snake heads, killing the beast instantly. I couldn't go and join the others though; first I need to take care of a little problem. A simple twist of my wrists and the icicle disappeared, as if it wasn't there in the first place.
I can't let the others know.
Thankfully, the others had taken care of their Grimm trouble themselves. I guess I should re-join them. After using my Semblance to find their location, I took off to the sky and flew over.

When I returned to Ruby and the others, they were out of breath. "Are you guys okay? Anyone hurt?" I asked.
"No, it's fine Fran. Everyone is unharmed." Ruby said as she walked over to me.
"Good to know everyone is alright." I said as I let out a small sigh.
I then heard someone walk up towards me. However it wasn't Ruby, Yang, Blake or Weiss, but one of the others.
This person started to wave a hand in front of my face. "Nora, stop being rude."
"What, I'm just curious?"
I giggled a bit. "It's fine, I get it all the time."
"Still, she shouldn't have done that. Apologise Nora!"
"Okay Ren, Sorry..."
"It's fine..."
"Oh, I'm Nora, Nora Valkyrie. This is Lie Ren." Nora said as she brought Ren in front of me.
"Nice to meet you two."
"I'm Jaune, Jaune Arc."
"And I'm Pyrrha Nikos."
"It's good to meet you all. I'm Frandoll Scarlet, and as Nora found out. Yes, I'm what you would call blind."
"Wow!" Pyrrha said.
"B-But how did you know where we are?" Jaune asked.
"Simple my Semblance. My Semblance allows me to 'see', but only everything and everyone is greyed out. My ears help the most. As I grew up, my Mama and Papa trained me to carefully listen and judge where people are. I've had to do that for... most people I've come across. Let's just say that growing up, I haven't had the best of life that I wish I could have wanted." I explained.
"I-I'm sorry to hear that" Pyrrha said.
"It's okay, it hasn't been all bad growing up. I've had friends like Blake with me."
"By the way Fran, did you pick up your relic-statue thing that Professor Ozpin wanted?" Ruby asked, grabbing my attention.
I shook my head. "Sadly, not yet. A Nevermore and a King Taijitu 'Invited' me to a little dance."
"Oh... How did it go?" Yang asked.
"Let's just say I need a new dance partner."
Yang, Ruby, Blake, Jaune and Nora giggled, while Ren and Pyrrha let out surprised gasps. "You defeated a King Taijitu and a Nevermore... By yourself... At the same time?" Pyrrha asked as I nodded my head.
Jaune and Ruby simultaneously said, "Wow!"
However, behind me I heard someone sigh and make a 'tut' sound. The same someone who had been silent up till now. "You're either completely stupid or incredibly lucky. There's no way someone like you could do that! Why don't you just leave!"
"Woah, Princess! There's no need to say that!" Yang growled out as I clenched my fist.
As Weiss's words sank in, I lowered my head. I thought that Weiss was different. Obviously, I was wrong.
"How dare you say that! You don't—" I cut off Blake as she was about to lunge at Weiss with Gambol Shroud.
"Blake, it's fine. I'll just go. I don't want to cause a fight." I said as I hovered up off the ground.
"Fran..." Ruby quietly mumbled.
"It's fine Ruby, I better go anyway. Professor Ozpin will want me to quickly get back." I said as I got ready to launch into the sky, however before I could fly into the sky, Weiss spoke again.
"Wait!" I quickly turned around to Weiss. "Can I have a look at your weapon?" Weiss asked, but it didn't sound like she was asking for it. It was more like she was ordering me to hand it over. Not wanting to make her any angrier, I landed on the floor and handed my Bow and Arrows to Weiss.
She stood there inspecting my bow first for a couple of minutes, until she let out a small gasp as she looked at my arrows. "T-These arrows... They're the same... As the one... From back then!"
Wait... why does she recognise my arrows? We've never met... Unless... Wait, is she...?!
"You're Schnee, aren't you?" I cautiously asked. Does she know the person that... that I killed?
"You! It was you who... Who killed..." Weiss sounded distraught. Before she could say anything else, I snatched my Bow and Arrows from her and took to the sky.
I have to tell Professor Ozpin and Miss Goodwitch. Hopefully they'll understand. They have to.
