Around +600, not including Author's Notes.

It was around two in the morning, and all life appeared nonexistent in Beacon Academy's halls, yet there was someone- something still lurking. It seemed ridiculous as to why anyone would leave their dorm at this hour, but a certain monster kept her eyes open.

One in the morning seemed like a good idea to search for someone to feast upon, however she had searched for nearly an hour. Three AM, the time when spirits were most restless, was quickly approaching and she had to consume a meal before then; otherwise she will most likely lost control of herself later in the day, something she wanted to avoid - especially with a team.

She had chosen to linger in the hallways since there was a lesser chance of bumping into professors and other employees of the school. She had also made sure to stay away from her team because they were somewhat important to her and she preferred a full team rather than one or two short. A completely different wing seemed like a safe enough distance.

A creak caught her ears as she automatically hid in the shadows. She cursed under her breath; she was still wearing her normal attire - her clothing was white, a contrast to the darkness of shadows. Hiding was pointless. However, she was around the turn, meaning that she could make a swift getaway if she changed her mind.

But thoughts of running away disappeared when she grazed her tongue across her distinct canines, not hard enough to draw blood obviously since she didn't want to drink her own blood. Whoever was around the corner was clearly dying tonight; she was starving and three AM was forty minutes away - a while, but she still needed time to dispose of the body and get back to her dorm.

"A-anybody there?" the voice stuttered. Female, probably older by a year or so.

She frowned, a frightened victim had heightened senses. Sighing, she realized that it was either now or never and smoothed out her clothes. Walking around the corner and ignoring the small gasp she heard, she looked to see who it was. It wasn't anyone significant, a faceless no name to her. A regular human too; a plus.

"W-what are you doing h-here? Y-your dorm i-" the poor girl didn't have time to finish her sentence when a hand was placed on her mouth and the monster's head pressed against the left side of her neck. There was a flash of confusion on her face before her eyes rolled to the back of her head, pain seeping into pleasure as she slowly succumbed to darkness.

It wasn't long before she was drained of her life-giving fluids and fell limp in the monster's arms, which she simply threw on the floor with a look of mild disgust. The monster wiped her mouth with a handkerchief she produced from the pouch on her belt and let out a sigh of sweet relief, letting her eyes fall closed, and licking the lingering taste off her lips. The moment didn't last long; she still had to discard the body.

She dragged the now-dead weight to the nearest window and dropped the body down ungracefully, ignoring any snaps and cracks from bones breaking. Falling down after it, she summoned a glyph with a turn of her wrist just before hitting the ground. She continued to drag the body to the cliffs, where she plainly shoved it off to the depths below, officially off campus grounds and into the waters.

When she heard a small splash, she smirked and turned back to Beacon, flipping her snow-white hair over her shoulder and began walking, enjoying the light breeze cooling her off.

Quietly opening the door to her dorm and glancing around to check if her teammates were still asleep, she quickly changed to her nightgown, removed the head ornament from the side of her head, brushed her teeth, and slipped into bed. With a glance at the time, she smiled.

2:48 am

Just in time, Weiss thought as she shut her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, her meal settling comfortably in her stomach.
