The Falcon Doesn't Use His Talons
So I have been reading a book called "Willow: It's hard to keep a secret when it's written all over your body" and I was struck with inspiration and in case you have not noticed I name all my main characters Spencer Stone but keep in mind that none of my stories take place in the same universe this is a highschool AU of SpencerxYang and themes get dark here since I am around this level of darkness but I shrug it off but I need to write it down and you all get to share my pain...ALLONS-Y!
Faunus...humans born with animal appendages. Some Faunus like Velvet don't hide their appendages and are targets. Me and my friend Blake...well she has her bow and I have my trenchcoat, but it's not enough. We still hear the rumors about us and we still are bullied because we are the silent duo. I don't like getting attached to people since my parents got killed in a Faunus hate crime 6 years ago and when the died Blake and I found a abandoned warehouse that keeps us warm during the night, it's not home but it's enough. Even Blake, who has shared her entire life with me about joining the White Fang gang and leaving and now they are hunting her, doesn't know my darkest secret of all...I cut. I just hear all of them mocking me and calling me names and I just need to drive the pain away.
I was sitting at the very back table in the lunchroom with just Blake when the local gang CRDL showed up and decided to mess with us.
"Well, hello emos" the leader Cardin said
"What do you want Cardin" I asked wanting him to leave
"I want a lot of things, one of which is your bleeding corpse" he said and two of his guys pinned me against the wall. Blake and I didn't get that much to eat being homeless and all so I wasn't the strongest guy and I could just stand there as Cardin drove his fist into my gut over and over.
Blake was being held back by a guy with a green mohawk as I was repeatedly pounded and I could see the tears start to well up in her eyes. I flashed her a smile, trying to comfort her before I was punched again and coughed up blood.
"Take off the coat" Cardin commanded and mine and Blake's eyes widened in horror as to what was about to happen.
I struggled against them but eventually got off my trenchcoat and revealed my long sleeve shirt and my two black wings which caused the cafeteria to go silent and Cardin to jump back is disgust.
"You are one of those freaks, i'm doing the world a favor" he said and he pulled out a pocket knife which I welcome to help the name-calling out of my head. I closed my eyes and waited.
"Spencer!" I could hear Blake yell but it was too late as he brought down the knife.
I felt nothing...I opened my eyes and saw a stunningly beautiful blond girl kick the knife out of Cardin's hand and punch him in the face. She turned to the two that we're holding me down and said "What. You want some too" and they immediately let me go and ran away with the guy that was holding Blake back and she ran up to me.
"Are you ok?" Blake and the blonde girl asked simultaneously.
"I...I" I started and could hear all the whispers and name-calling and dashed out of the lunchroom and the school and went to the top of that old tree in the park that only people with wings could reach.
BLAKE'S POV
Damn it, I knew this would happen. I just wish it didn't.
"Is he gonna be ok?" the blonde girl asked with genuine concern
"I really don't know, but I need to go find him" I said knowing where he would go
"Let me come with" She offered and I was sceptical
"Why, so you can make fun of him" I replied wanting to defend my friend who was basically a brother to me.
"God no" the blonde replied "Faunus are people too"
"Ok, if that's your outlook on it then come along…" I started realizing I don't know her name
"Yang" she said and we started running out of school not caring about the consequences, just wanting to find Spencer.
It took us 15 minutes to get to the tree in the park where Spencer and I first met 6 years ago.
"He's up there" I said looking up at the 100 foot tree.
"How are we going to get up there?" Yang asked and I only responded by jumping from branch to branch and finally reached the top.
I saw something that changed the three of our lives forever...Spencer was dragging a razor blade across his forearm. 'Does Spencer cut' was my only thought.
