My name is Luci Ambrosine and my story isn't a happy one. I happened because of a one night stand between my mom and dad. After I was born, she just dropped me on his doorstep and he's been "raising me" ever since. If you call throwing beer bottles at my face, raising me. I knew my role, just a slave. That's the fate of most Faunus...secret slavery.
One day my father was drunk as usual and asked if I got him more booze. I answered honestly and said no. He then responded to me by throwing them beer bottle that was in his hand right at my face. The bottle cut deep into the left side of my face, cutting into my left eye and the skin around it. I remember running out of the house screaming in pain. People were going to help until they saw my wings, and they just walked away. As people either laughed or walked away, I passed out from the pain.
When I woke up I was in a hospital. I almost freaked out when I thought about how I was going to pay for it when I noticed a note by the bedside. I opened it up and saw two hundred lien bills fall out. I had never even seen that much money in one place so I went for the lien first. After they were in my hands I decided to read the note.
"Hello Mrs. Ambrosine, I hope you are feeling better. I noticed you bleeding and unconscious in the street so I brought you to the Vale General Hospital. I payed the bill in full as well as leaving you 200 lien since I assume you would rather not have clothes soaked in your own blood. All I ask in return is that you come to Beacon Academy so that we may talk further.
-Professor Ozpin, Headmaster of Beacon"
I'm really scared. People that have authority and talked all official like that always terrified me. I looked out the window and saw a little of my reflection. My left eye has some really nasty scars over it. I started to restyle my hair while using the window as a mirror. My blood red short hair was now in a curl, covering my left eye.
I was released from the hospital within the week, they were happy to kick out a Faunus. I wore only my bloody t-shirt and ripped jeans that had splatters of blood on them. The t-shirt can't hide my wings so I just put my wings through the two holes I made in the back. Vale was a big city, and I got lost easy. I asked twelve different people for directions but the thirteenth person actually would talk to a Faunus. I hope all the city isn't this racist. The person was really nice, they even offered to take me to Beacon which I hesitantly accepted. That was my mistake.
Now I was in an alleyway with a hand over my mouth and a knife at my stomach.
"Now give me all of your money or else"
My body wouldn't stop shaking and I could feel tears start to form and stung my orange eyes. I tried to reach for my money which I really didn't want to give him but I did want to live. He cut my arm and I screamed in pain.
"Shut up!" he yelled and slapped me across the face. "Fine, I'll just search the corpse."
The knife was getting closer and closer to my face, right now that knife is the scariest thing ever. I closed my eyes in fear. I heard a grunt and those hands holding me went away. I opened my eyes and saw flowing blonde hair. Attached to the hair was a really pretty girl who saved me. She took away the man's knife, threw it up onto the roof, and started walking over to me.
"Hey, you okay?" she asked as she extended her hand.
"I get rescued and talked to like an actual person? I gotta be dreaming" I said while trying to be confident.
Come on Luci, don't be shy while you say thank you. I almost forgot to get up. I took her hand and this actually was my first time touching another person without getting hurt. She felt really warm.
"Why wouldn't I talk to you like you're a person?" she asked
"T-The wings" Damn it Luci, keep it together.
"Hey, I think the wings are cool" She said really cheerfully.
"T-Thanks" Damn it Luci!
I saw her pull out some selectronic thing that was on her wrist.
"What's that?" I asked
She laughed and asked "You've never seen a scroll?"
"I'm really sheltered" I said as I started to play with my wings
I freaked out when I saw the number she dialed in, 9-1-1.
"Hey police, there's an unconscious guy in the alley by warehouse 12." With that she hung up but I started running away.
One thought was in my head right now, never go back. I'm a runaway so the cops would bring me back to him. I ran for four streets before I had to stop for breath.
"Soooooo, gonna tell me what that was about?" I jumped when I heard my savior behind me.
"D-Did you run with me?" I asked while still getting breath. I wanted to yell at myself for still stuttering.
"Yeah, I can tell you need someone with you, so you gonna tell me why you ran when I called the cops?" she asked
"To put it lightly, I had a falling out with my dad."
"Oooh, well you can tell me about it later. You're heading up to Beacon right?" she asked
"How'd you know?"
"You were running up the cliff to Beacon, not much else up here." she said giving me a look.
I felt some cloth wrap around my wrist.
"He cut you right? Better make sure it doesn't get infected." she said
Wow, I didn't know nice people like her actually existed. I noticed the cloth was her scarf which now was bloody.
"T-Thank you"
"Hey by the way, what's with the dried blood on your clothes?" she asked
"Long story" I said as I nervously played with my wings
We kept walking together but I stopped as we were almost at the top.
"What's wrong?" she asked
"Uh well, I um...don't like having my wings on display to a lot of people."
The second I finished my sentence, she took off her jacket and wrapped it around me.
"Just get it back to me whenever." she said
"Thank you so much" I said as we started walking again.
"Alright, we're at Beacon. Where are you going?" she asked
"I have to go see someone named Ozpin" I said nervously
"Oh, yeah I know where he is. Come on" she said as she took my hand.
She brought me through a building that looked really nice, she brought me to the elevator by the end of the room and pressed the button to the top floor.
I started fidgeting since I was so nervous.
"Hey, don't worry. Ozpin is a nice guy and his assistant isn't nearly as mean as she looks." she said as she put her hand on my shoulder.
"Thanks, you've done so much for me in just fifteen minutes and I never even asked your name." I said.
"Yang Xiao Long, and your name?"
"Luci with an i, Ambrosine" I said
"Luci with an i?" Yang asked
"Yeah I know, my names weird." I said looking down
"Hey, I like it." Yang said and that made me feel better
The elevator dinged and on the other side was Ozpin and his assistant. I'm guessing it's Ozpin since he's the only guy in the room.
"Ah Mrs. Ambrosine, do come in." He said
I was kind of hesitant since by track record with males says that this is gonna end with my blood spilling.
Yang pushed me and said "You'll be fine."
"Thank you, Mrs. Xiao Long" Ozpin said as the elevator closed and I got scared.
"Have a seat" Ozpin said and I decided to comply
"Are you feeling better?" Ozpin asked
"Y-Yeah" I said and I could feel his assistant watching me closely
"You don't need to feel uncomfortable, you're safe here." Ozpin said
"I don't mean to be rude but I'm not really safe anywhere. I've never been safe." I said barely audible
"Yes, I recently found out about what your father has been doing to you so I was actually on my way to talk to you when I found you bleeding out in the snow."
"Why would the headmaster of Beacon go to talk to a random abused teenage girl?" I asked
"Tell me, have you ever taken a look at the left side of the nape of your neck?" Ozpin asked me and I instinctively took a look.
"There's a sun tattoo?" I've never even gotten a tattoo.
"It's not a tattoo, you've had that mark since the day you were born. Every girl in your family has that mark."
"How...do you know about my family?" I asked while I was getting very creeped out.
"I'll assume you know the Story of the Seasons. The story is true, the maidens are that mark is proof. Only female descendants of a summer maiden are born with that mark, you happen to be the last living female descendant of the first summer maiden."
I smiled a little knowing that mom is dead...bitch.
"If this is a talk about continuing the bloodline then you can stop right there, I'm not into guys and I don't plan on having the kid of someone I don't love" I said
I'm only confident when I'm pissed.
"How dare-" the blonde assistant began before Ozpin interrupted
"Glynda please." she shut her mouth "I understand why you would think that but the group I represent isn't like that at all, we only protect maidens and their families not force them to procreate"
I sighed and said "sorry" going back to my shy demeanor
"It's fine, I can understand where you're coming from. I called you here for a few reasons. The first is to get you away from that horrible father of yours. The second is that as a descendant of a maiden, if that secret is ever revealed you will surely be targeted by organizations for power which brings me to three. I would like you to start here as a student."
Okay my brain is all over the place, I'm a descendant of the first summer maiden, bad guys are gonna target me if anyone finds out, and now the headmaster of Beacon wants me to attend his school.
"I-I have no combat training."
"I know." Ozpin said
"I can't control my aura"
"I know"
"I'm terrible with people"
"I know, which is why we have a single dorm ready for you if you accept." Ozpin said
"Um, do you know about my...other heritage?"
"If you mean that you are a Faunus then yes I am aware" Ozpin told me
I have one last question.
"Do you think I could make a good huntress?"
"I think you'll be one of the best which is why I'm putting you on the best first year team." Ozpin stated
"W-Won't I slow them down?" I asked
"I think that only one of them would complain. So, do you want to be a huntress?" Ozpin asked me one last time
"I'd like that"
"Excellent" Ozpin said as he handed me one of those things Yang had on her wrist "this scroll is a standard tool of a huntress, it measures your aura as well as let's you communicate with others. This particular scroll is loaded with your room information, I hear it's been an eventful hour for you so go get some rest. You can begin training with your team in the morning." Ozpin said
I slowly got up out of the chair and on my way out Ozpin had one last thing to say "Do try to be patient with Weiss."
All of the sudden I was scared. I don't know what this Weiss is, but it sounds like hell in high heels.
"Thank you" I said as I pressed the button for the bottom floor.
Ozpin just smiled at me. The last thing I heard from that room was the assistant yelling at Ozpin.
I got lost a lot of times trying to find the room, it took me literally an hour to find the room. Then it took me ten minutes to figure out how to get the stupid scroll to open the door. I took one glance at the room and saw it was amazing. I only took one glance at the room and saw it was incredible. I immediately stripped out of the still bloody clothes and was in nothing but my underwear and bra. I turned off the lights and went to collapse on the bed. When I collapsed on the bed I fell at an angle that hurt my boobs.
"Damn oversized tits" I muttered to myself.
Probably a gift from my whore mother.
I couldn't drift off to sleep easily since my new team next door was having an argument.
"Why do WE have to train the novice" I could tell that one was Weiss.
I lazily punched the wall. Not hard enough to leave a mark but loud enough that they can hear.
"I think she's mad" I heard someone whisper.
This is why I hate being a Faunus. You get hated and you have heightened senses so you hear everything. The last thing I did was put my scroll on the bedside table and took in how much of an improvement this big room is over the closet with one blanket with holes in it.
I think I can get use to this.
Okay, chapter 1 done. I am uploading this the second I finished it so please let me know what you think before I start chapter 2, also since I am a guy I could use a girl to help me with girl stuff. Anyway this story got started because someone asked for yuri in Heaven's Door and I just couldn't get this idea out of my head. So anyway I'm probably gonna go work on crushed or Heaven's Door but I get the reviews as soon as you upload them so let me know what you want. This story is definitely LucixYang and I might do Monochrome depending on what you guys want or I'll just do a poll or something I dunno, I have no system. Anyway make sure to review, it makes me happy.
