Diary of a Beast

Part 2


Day 20

The whole school is in panic over what happened to team CRDL. Rumors are floating everywhere over what actually happened to them. Some say that a new type of Grimm appeared and killed them. Some say that there's a serial killer on the loose. And then there are obviously those that say that it was a group of angry faunus that did it.

Personally, I couldn't care less what happened to them. They were a group of racist bastards and the world is a better place now that they're gone. I don't understand why anyone is so scared over this whole thing. Team CRDL didn't only pick on the faunus. They made life hell for anyone that was different than them. Why does anyone care that they died?

I'm honestly wondering why I'm even keeping this up. If it weren't for this very tiny part of me that feels this is necessary, I would stop keeping up this diary right now. It was supposed to help me keep in check the possible effects of that gas I accidentally breathed in. What is it with me that forces me to continue this?


Day 21

Nothing new to report. Everyone in the school, including my team, are still shocked over what happened with team CRDL. Did they all forget what kind of people they were? Sometimes I can't understand others at all.


Day 23

I skipped another day because I needed to get my thoughts straight. Yesterday I brought up my feelings over CRDL's fate to my team. They were shocked that I wasn't concerned over what happened to them at my reasoning, my teammates were angry at me for not caring about team CRDL. I was angry at them for showing any concern for a group of faunus-hating bullies, but then Ruby pointed out something. She said that I was thinking just like the White Fang that I hated.

Her words shocked me to the core. I immediately ran back to our dorm to go through my previous entries here. I was hoping that I would find something to prove her wrong, but my writings only confirmed her words. I had chaged.

Even now I don't really feel anything over team CRDL. This is starting to scare me. I can only pray that this won't get worse.


Day 24

My relationship with my team is strained, to say the least. Even though they've calmed down a bit after our heated argument yesterday, they're not exactly looking at me like they used to. It's almost like they're cautious of me. Like I'm dangerous or something.

I would like to scream and yell at them to stop treating me like that, but I can't. I have to admit that I've changed. That I'm not like I'm supposed to be.

The last thing I want is for me to return to my old ways, when I was no better than Adam or anyone else in the White Fang. I can't allow that to happen to me. I would rather die than go back to being like that.

Other than being in trouble with my team, nothing new to report. Hopefully, things will get better with time.


Day 25

There's a rather nasty tension around the school. Team CRDL's death has put everyone in a restless state. People are whispering, looking at each other strangely and just acting all scared. I fear what this all might lead to.


Day 26

My fears from yesterday have been confirmed. While not as bad as it could be, there's now an anti-faunus movement in Beacon. One of the students has started to rally others in an effort to ''drive the violent faunus monsters out of Beacon.'' While their group isn't all that big, they are still very vocal and they're also doing all they can to get others to join their cause.

My teammates and the teachers are no good. They at best tell those faunus-hating bastards to be quiet or to go somewhere else. While I know that we all have a right to our own opinions, can't they see that their opinion is just wrong? There's a difference between having an opinion and spreading hatred and ignorance around!

The most vocal and driven of this group is a boy named David. He's a first-year student, like myself. I don't know anything else about him and I don't care. There are already so many people like him around that I honestly can't care to know them all.


Day 27

The anti-faunus movement is slowly but surely gaining support. Even people who didn't have any problems with the faunus before are now joining it. If this keeps going on, I fear what might happen. There's a possibility that there will be a conflict between the faunus and humans that will only lead to bigger problems for us all. This could possibly be an incident that will serve to start a full war between our two races.

I pray that it won't become that.


Day 28

The anti-faunus movement has started to act violently. I saw how Velvet was beaten up by it's members. If it wasn't for her team, I shudder to think what could have happened.

However, what really angers me is that the teachers aren't really doing anything! They only try to calm people with worthless speeches and suspend some of the more violent students! Can't they see that they need stronger actions!?


Day 29

They'll come for me! I know it! I know that those faunus-hating bastards will come for my head! I can hear them moving around, gathering support, while chanting their racist slogans as they go along! Why isn't anyone doing anything!?

If my identity as a faunus is found out, they'll kill me! I can't rest or relax properly for as long as they keep going!

Can't anything just stop them?


Day 30

Today, I'm peaceful again. I don't know why, but somehow I wasn't scared about David's group at all. This isn't even because they've stopped going around, doing their routine. I didn't feel paranoid even before that when I thought about them. It's like fear itself isn't able to affect me or something.

I'm guessing that my peaceful life in Beacon has returned.


Day 31

While nothing special happened today, I had a strange dream last night. I was some sort of a beast in a dark forest. My body was moving on it's own, but I could feel everything it did. There was a strange smell that I was following. For some reason, the smell made me angry. Like it belonged to something that I didn't like.

Eventually, I found what I had been looking for. It was a person. I couldn't tell who it was, but there was something familiar about them. I hid under some bushes, waiting for an opportunity. When it finally arrived, I jumped at my target and bit them in their neck. The person tried to fight back, but died in the end. That's all I can remember from my dream.

I've never had a dream like that before and I can't help but feel that there's a meaning behind it. Is it trying to tell me something?


Day 32

David was found dead with a deep bite mark on his neck. Something is wrong.


Author's notes: I've decided to continue this. Hope you guys will like it. I'll try to make things a bit more intense in the next part. Be on the lookout for that.

Until next time.
