Blake Belladonna was in a good mood, she was exiting the book store after buying Ninjas of Love Two. It seemed like nothing could ruin her mood. At least she thought that until a hand was placed over her mouth and waist, dragging her into an alley. Her first reaction was terror. Her first thought was that it was her psychotic mentor here to finally take her back, her blissful days ruined. When the person spoke she was a little relieved.

"I-I d-don't want to hurt you. J-Just hand over your money"

Blake felt pity more than anything as he removed his hand from her mouth. It was clear he didn't want to be doing this. This guy sounded like he was the one being mugged. His aroma gave away that he was a faunus, another of her people turned into a monster by society.

"You don't have to do this" the black clad girl pleaded

The tip of a knife was pressed against Blake's back, not enough to draw blood but enough so that she knows it's there. The young man didn't realize that Blake had her aura up. Blake had noticed for a while that he was shaking.

"I-I do" he tried to convince himself. He needs to survive.

Blake wanted to help him but not at knifepoint. Blake's semblance activate and a clone of herself appeared directly to the left of herself which distracted her mugger. Blake took the chance to grab his wrist and turn around and twisted his wrist, making him drop the knife and fall to his knees. The girl kicked the knife across the alley so that her attacker couldn't get it.

"You always have a choice" Blake tried to convince her assailant

He tried to get back to his feet but stumbled before standing up.

"This world took away my choice" he dramatically stated

"Then fight for it, take back your choice! But not like this"

Wide white eyes showed Blake that her words had struck a cord. The young man just realized his sunglasses fell off which he hurried to put back on, he hates his eyes. Once his sunglasses were back on the mugger thought about it and slid back down to the ground, putting his head in his knees.

"I'm such an idiot" he said with his tone drenched in despair.

Blake sat down next to him, knowing that this wasn't his fault.

"What's your name?" She asked.

After hesitating he said "Chrome...Darkenblade"

Just when Blake trusted him a knife appeared in her leg.

"You really think it's that easy to win someone's trust? Just a couple sappy words?"

Blake really thought that Chrome trusted her. This betrayal stung like a knife in her leg. Chrome now stood in the entrance to the alley when the knife flew back into his hand, causing Blake more pain.

"I don't care if you're human, faunus, or even a Grimm. I trust nobody" with that he walked out and before he left he boasted by showing Blake her wallet now in his possession.

He left with a laugh, showing that the scared act was nothing more than an act or maybe this confident act is an act since Blake heard a sigh of relief when he left. Blake hoped she never saw him again in a corner of her mind but she knew that wasn't an option. Blake Belladonna will help any faunus turned into a monster by oppression.
