Ch. 1 Five Year Gap
It had been five years since Dante had fought his brother Virgil down in that cave under the very cabin he was fixing for him and his sister to one day live in. Blake and Yang had been fighting his former teammates Serene and Helena and by the time they had finished it was too late. They rushed down from outside the cabin, after backup arrived, only to find that Dantes body was gone from its spot next to the lifeless Virgil. A large amount of blood lead off deeper into the cave almost like someone, or something, drug him down into it. They both feared it was a grimm that had been under Virgils control and when he died it came out and found the body. They tried to follow the blood trail for as long as they could, but the farther they went the less blood there was for them to track, and when the trail went cold they both knew, deep down, he was really gone. They could follow the tunnels as far as they went and find only bones and grimm. They walked out of the tunnels and relayed the news to the rest of the team and everyone shared a silent moment for him. Wynne cried the hardest and Blake tried to keep hers in check, he had saved them both and that was a great cause to die for. They returned to Beacon and spent the next couple of week recovering. Blake all the while had keep hope in her heart that one day he would walk through the doors and make her life complete again, but as time went along he never did. Weeks passed and then months and then years and all the time she would `look at the door knowing it would open and he would be there. They continued their path towards becoming full fledged hunters and on the day of graduation Blake finally moved on but she never gave up that light in her heart that he had planted in their all those years ago. When she walked to collect her badge and earn the title of hunter she walked in a outfit that looked a lot like his, with more of a feminine touch. She kept her stomach showing and her pants had a white pin-stripe running down them, all in her own black and purple of course. She had her hair pulled back and to top it all off her ears were showing. She was proud to wear them now, after all he had shown her and Wynne, she felt it was time to start being who she was and not what she wanted to be. Her teammates supported her of course, and Wynne and her grew even closer as friends. After they graduated Yang, Blake, Wynne and Ruby went on and stayed as a full time hunter team, with Weiss returning to her family's company and coming back every now and then to work with the team. Blake started to carry Dantes weapons with her now as well, it felt comforting to her to have something of his with her for as much time as possible. As time went on more and more news of attacks from Alpha Grimm coming from the far east were being reported. As newly ordained hunters they decided they would make the long journey out that way and find out what was really going on. They packed up what they needed and headed out leaving their stuff behind of another big quest, little did they know what they would encounter on their way and who would be waiting for them at the end.
The man was standing behind the bar he worked serving drinks to those who came in from the bitter cold. He looked over the crowd that had gathered that night, one that was overly happy about something or other he never really paid much attention to what they said. There were a few regulars that he did hold conversations with every now and then, then there was the ones he really liked the ones whose pictures hung on the wall. They had been there for as long as he could remember and looking up at them always seemed to cheer him up, it was like meeting up with an old friend. He was in a good mood until the drunk walked up and quite literally threw himself on the bar. "Hey man let me get four more beers for my friends and my friends." The man behind the bar rolled his eyes knowing the only way this drunk was going to leave him alone was to give him what he wanted. He opened 4 bottles in no time handing them to the drunk man.
"Here you go that will be…." Before he could finish the man was gone and over with his friends. "Everytime." From the other end of the bar a man raised his hand and in between his fingers was some money.
"I got it." The bartender made his way down to the man, who was sitting and drinking with his hood up. As the bartender got closer he could see the symbol of a hunter hiding under the cloak and he refused the money.
"Hunters drink for free."
"Then take this for them." He motioned his head to the drunk that was just at the bar and all of his friends. As the bartender reached out to take the money the hunter noticed a big scar on the man's right arm. "That's some scar you got there."
"Yeah funny part is I can't remember how I got it." The bartender was turning his arm over looking at the scars that lay opposite each other.
"Well whatever it was, lets hope it doesn't happen again." The hunter gulped down his drink and started to make his way out. The bartender watched through his grey eyes as he made his way out and thought to himself.
"I always wanted to be a hunter."
