AN:

Before anyone reads this chapter I did go back to 11 and added more to the ending. Took me awhile to set this one up because of that last bit I was gonna put in the beginning of this one but didn't feel right. Hope you guys don't hate me for that since 11 felt incomplete. As for this one...I tried. I really feel like this story isn't as good as I wanted it to be but seeing you guys leave reviews and PMs do mean a lot. So, if you guys still want this story to keep going lemme know. Also please don't be shy to leave suggestions for future chapters. This story is meant for you guys after all.

In the middle of the night, a dark lone figure walked out onto the streets of Vale. Only in the deepest, darkest, parts of Vale did those with a death wish visit. Yet here was this strange figure walking into a bar known as the Crow Bar, to meet his young niece.

"Firecracker." The man said with a warm smile towards the lone blonde sitting at the bar.

"Old man." Yang smirked and looked at her Uncle. "You haven't changed much, Uncle Qrow."

Qrow chuckled and sat next to his niece and looked at her drink. "Still not drinking?"

Yang half smiled at Qrow and looked down at her water. "I have a different thirst lately." Yang watched her Uncle grab a few bottles from behind the bar as he leaned over the counter. "Why did you bring me here, Uncle Qrow?"

"I heard Raven attacked you and I know it's been only a week afterward but I wanted to check on my niece," Qrow said and mixed around a few liquor before sliding one to Yang. "This will help fight back your bloodlust for a bit," Qrow said and smirked at Yang's distasteful look. "I didn't say it would smell or taste good."

"I'm not a drinker like you, Uncle Qrow, but it does explain why you drink a lot. I remembered you saying Mom and you suffered this weird thirst." Yang said and shot back the glass full of liquor that burned down her throat.

"We were never honest with you a long time ago on how exactly my team got to become Vampires and how your Mother and I can turn into birds," Qrow said quietly into his glass as he slowly took a sip.

Yang watched Qrow with curious lilac eyes and leaned closer. "How did you guys really become this? How did everyone handle the bloodlust?"

Qrow chuckled and looked at his niece. "Taiyang and Summer didn't suffer this bloodlust, not until the very end. As for Raven and I…we never played by the rules anyway and we played with our food, kind of how Sum and Tai got so close while Raven and I wasted our youth away. Ozpin wasn't too happy we abused his kindness and cursed your Mother and me into what we are now. Two Vampires who can turn into birds and be forever alone with anyone to look our way or fall in love with us would suffer the same fate over and over…"

Yang tilted her head and looked up into Qrow's red eyes. "Ozpin doesn't sound like the kind of guy to curse people to die for falling in love…but Summer and Dad died because they fell for you two?" Yang shook her head and chuckled low. "No…You told me it was Humans…" Yang said dangerously low with her eyes turning blood red.

"Yang…They did die because of Humans. I met up with them to help cover a village being attacked by Grimm and they were badly hurt…" Qrow sighed and watched his niece closely. "Sum was losing blood and when she saw me…her fangs were showing and Humans came over to help and freaked out at the sight of two Vampires." Qrow chuckled. "'Vampires are worse than Grimm' as they said and Sum just lost it…She attacked them and Tai did too." Qrow looked down into his glass and heard glass shattered next to him. "Firecracker…"

"No, Uncle Qrow. Dad and Summer would never attack innocents. No matter what…" Yang's hand was slightly bleeding from the glass and looked at Qrow with red eyes.

Qrow waved off the bartender who walked over to them to clean up the broken glass. "You aren't in control when you are in bloodlust. You think you haven't come close to hurting Ruby or your team? Raven wants you to know how it feels to lose the one you love. She wants you to go running to her."

Yang growled low and looked away from Qrow. "I would never hurt my team." Yang then looked back at her Uncle and saw a sadness in his red eyes. "What happened that day…?"

Qrow half smiled and took another sip from his glass. "I fled to the shadows because I couldn't get either one to listen to me. As the Grimm was slaughtered earlier…Sum and Tai became what the village feared. So many lives lost until the villagers attacked back and when I stepped in…Sum attacked me. I still have a scar on my chest by her nails." Qrow chuckled at Yang's shiver. "I lost my best friend and love that day as I watched the lights in their eyes disappear when the Humans killed them both. As soon as the village turned on me thinking I was one of them…I fled like I always do. Maybe it was my bad luck charm that caused this or…" Qrow looked down at the wooden bar. "I never meant for them to die…"

Yang's eyes turned back to their normal lilac as she looked at her Uncle. "So Humans killed them out of fear…This whole time you and Mom let me believe Humans just killed them out of cold blood…"

Qrow chuckled sadly and finished his drink. "Yet you never finished your food just cause you could." Qrow looked into Yang's eyes. "For someone who hated Humans, you never kill them."

Yang met her Uncle's gaze. "I want to know how you are able to keep calm after all these centuries."

Qrow smirked at Yang. "Well…"

-CPz-

Yang regretted asking such a thing as Qrow filled up their glasses once again of Oum knows what. Yang gritted her teeth as the burning of the liquor hit her throat. "Uncle Qrow."

"Firecracker," Qrow said and laughed as Yang coughed harshly by the burning sensation this liquor caused by their kind. "Still can't handle the real stuff, huh?"

Yang growled at her Uncle's smirk and shot down another glass. "Rubes is the one who can't handle the liquor." Yang closed her eyes tight as she felt her inner beast calm finally after pure torture from Raven's attack had on her. "So, drinking like this calms it?"

Qrow sat down his glass and looked at his niece, his red eyes fully sober once again. "Sadly it is the only way I found to calm it otherwise I would be going town to town drinking away the other kind of liquor we like." Qrow chuckled at his words and looked into his niece's lilac eyes. "Is it working for you at least, kiddo?"

Yang nodded and pushed away her glass. "I do need to get back to Beacon before the others worry too much."

Qrow left some lien on the bar and walked out with his niece before turning to face her once they were outside under the broken moon. "Firecracker…I am glad you are okay with everything. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help or protect you. Ozpin informed me how bad it was and everything but you and Ruby never contacted me. Why?"

Yang looked up at Qrow and saw the sadness filling his eyes. "I didn't want you to worry about us. I can handle Raven."

Qrow chuckled and ruffled Yang's hair. "Yet here we are, both bloodlust Vampires drinking away the thirst."

Yang smirked and looked up at the broken moon. "Is there still a chance to save her?"

Qrow sighed and pulled out his flask. "I've been trying for centuries but I thought there was a chance when Ozpin called us to come get you and Ruby. I guess I was wrong."

Yang closed her eyes and breathes in the night city air of Vale. "I think there might still be a chance…even though she did try to kill me."

Qrow chuckled and looked around the shady alley. "Let's get you back to Beacon, Firecracker."

"If you can keep up, Old Man."

-CPz-

Yang opened the door to her team's room and slowly walked in. She looked around the moonlit room and saw each bed claimed by each teammate but her own, still messy from earlier this morning. Yang wanted to sleep but knew she had only a few hours before class started.

Yang slid off her jacket and boots and slowly made it to her top bunk, only to feel a soft hand touch her leg. Yang looked down and was met with a pair of amber eyes staring back up at her.

"Yang, come here," Blake whispered and Yang knelt down next to her partner.

"What's up, Blakey?" Yang asked with a soft smile.

Blake smiled back and leaned close to Yang. "I was wondering where you ran off to this late at night. Is everything okay?" Blake asked with concern in her voice.

Yang stroked Blake's cheek gently and nuzzled her nose against Blake's nose. "I just needed to meet someone. I will be okay eventually." Yang said and was slightly surprised she was so honest when it came to Blake.

Blake pulled Yang down next to her and wrapped her arms around Yang's waist. "Is it still over the attack Raven did a week ago?"

Yang looked into Blake's eyes and pulled her closer. "Yeah…My Mom did something to me and it's why I keep my distance from everyone we care about." Yang said shakily, not wanting to admit the issue to Blake or anyone else, even Ruby.

Blake closed her eyes and her cat ears twitched against Yang's cheek as Blake laid her head on Yang's chest. "You can tell me when you are ready, Yang. I'm not going anywhere." Blake whispered the last part and felt Yang's arms tighten around her.

"Same goes for you, Blakey." Yang smiled into Blake's hair and closed her eyes.

Sadly as soon as they fell asleep was when Weiss' alarm sounded throughout the dark room and the bumblebee pair both groaned.

"Get up you two," Weiss said as she got up and went to the shared bathroom. "We have Professor Port's test today."

Ruby shot up from the bed too fast as she landed down on the floor with her blanket covering her. "That's today?" Ruby whined from under her blanket and both Blake and Yang chuckled.

"You should know enough to pass, Rubes," Yang said and Blake pulled the covers over them.

"All he talks about is his adventures! How can anyone pass his class?" Ruby pulled the cover from her head and met Weiss' icy stare. "Um, I meant…"

Weiss grabbed her bath bag and left the shared bathroom. Yang snickered at Ruby's pout and rolled Blake over under her as she leaned down and kissed her lips gently. "We should get up, Kitten."

"But you haven't slept." Blake stretched under Yang and pulled the covers back over them.

"Where were you, Yang?" Ruby asked and tossed her blanket back up onto her top bunk.

Yang slowly got out of the warm covers and left her partner's side as she stood in front of her sister. "I was meeting Uncle Qrow about some stuff," Yang said quietly and saw Ruby's eyes lit up.

"Uncle Qrow is in Vale?!" Ruby was jumping up and down in place with a huge smile on her face.

"Easy Rubes." Yang chuckled and looked over at Blake who was slowly getting out of bed. "I don't think he could stay longer but we can reach out to him after classes today."

Ruby pouted and Weiss walked out. "Did I miss something?" Weiss asked and looked at Ruby.

"Nothing important, Ice Queen." Yang flashed her grin at Weiss and dragged Ruby to the shower. "Your turn Rubes."

"How can you love such a Brute?" Weiss asked and looked at Blake.

Blake chuckled and gathered her books. "Just something about her, Weiss, but some could ask the same thing about your Dolt."

Weiss rolled her eyes but smiled and changed quickly into her school uniform.

Ruby came out quicker than Weiss did and Yang looked at Blake. "Your turn, Kitten?"

"Or ours to save hot water," Blake said with a smirk and grabbed Yang's hand and pulled her into the shower with the door closing.

"Do not use up all the hot water again you two!" Weiss called out to them but heard laughter behind the closed door and water being turned on.

"Weiss, leave them be," Ruby said and hugged her partner from behind.

"Ruby Rose, you are still…" Weiss was turned around and felt her leader's lips on her own.

"Now will you leave them be?" Ruby asked and smiled at Weiss who was turning the shade to match her cloak.

Weiss mumbled under her breath and turned away from Ruby who was giggling. Ruby changed into her school uniform and looked up as the bumblebee pair came out holding hands. "Too cute," Ruby smirked at Blake's red face and ears darting down.

"Rubes, don't make me chase you down the hall," Yang growled and Ruby's eyes widen.

"In your towel?"

"Why not?"

"Please no."

"Will you two please knock it off and will our other half of our team get ready? We only have five minutes." Weiss said and glared at the two sisters.

Yang smirked at Blake and both took their time getting ready which led Weiss and Ruby leaving before they were late.

"You did that on purpose," Blake said and Yang smiled at her.

"Maybe." Yang grabbed her bag and both left for their first-morning class holding hands.

-CPz-

"You had to tell her…" Raven spat at her brother who was kneeling down in front of her panting for air with blood running down his cheek.

"She is my niece, Sister," Qrow growled and held up his sword to block another attack from Raven. "She still cares for you, Raven. You can make things right."

Raven flashed her fangs and her eyes never left her brother's. "Centuries have passed and she still has not learned what it means to be one of us. Ruby got lucky and wasn't born into this fate."

"What if it isn't our bloodline that is affected but only us?" Qrow asked and stood up in time to grab his sister's arm before she could swing at him again. "Yang has never fallen in love after what you did to her those years ago. We truly do not know if it is our family. We both lost someone that horrible day but by what exactly? Their bloodlust? My bad luck? Ozpin twisting our fate just because he can? We do not know, Raven."

Raven gritted her teeth and kicked Qrow down to the ground. "Then why don't you ever take a chance? You are afraid just like I am. I…I don't want Yang to know that fear, truly I do not, but what kind of mother would I be if I let her go in blind?"

Qrow looked up at his sister and shook his head as he stood. "This is all madness, Sis. Yang and Ruby have lived many centuries to see those they get close to just disappear while they stay. Both of them have never fallen in love because of what we kept from them. Ruby might not suffer our same fate but Yang might. We don't know for sure and having her feel this bloodlust was something you should have never done to her. That makes you a bad mother, Raven."

Raven stuck her brother across the face once again and the fresh smell of blood filled the air. "I am doing this so my daughter can come home and not fall victim to Ozpin's plan. I do not want her to become like you." Raven said coldly and walked away from Qrow.

"So you rather she becomes like you, Sis? So cold and alone even though you have a family by your side?" Qrow whispered and looked out to Beacon as he sat on his knees on the cliff overlooking the Academy. "How messed up our family truly is." Qrow chuckled as he took a swing from his flask.

Qrow knew deep down this battle wasn't over with his sister and niece as bloodlust isn't something to overlook or drink away, but he had to help ease Yang's mind somehow. How he was supposed to help her when he didn't know how to help her was something he was unsure of himself. All he knew is it'll take one day at a time…if they had that long…
