AN:

I am sorry for a late update since last weekend I was told a horrible news of my Grandmother's passing. So, instead of finishing up this chapter on my day off like I planned I was stuck for a week of Hell. I am sorry this chapter is short and bites and I'll try to update it later on or write a better chapter next time. So my fellow Hunters and Huntresses bare with me and let's keep moving forward.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY!

Raven Branwen.

A name most feared when her bandits' attacks random villages to steal supplies or end Faunus cruelty. Yes, that's right; Raven actually cares about others but hides the fact of why she saves random innocent lives she has never met before.

Lately, it started ever since the death of half her team years ago, most questioned how their great leader never aged but most were silenced when her red eyes pierce into their very soul.

Even with all the lives saved and villages destroyed from cruelty Raven still found herself sitting in her tent missing the one thing she wanted most.

Family.

Raven tilted her head as she heard footsteps coming into her tent from behind. "I asked to not be disturbed."

"I wasn't aware since I'm not part of your bandits." A cold voice said from behind.

Raven stood up and turned to face the sudden intruder. "I should ask what is it you want but I'm more curious as to how you got past my bandits."

The tall redhead man wearing a white Grimm mask smirked. "Being Faunus and Leader of White Fang helps me reach places."

Raven looked at the man standing before her and noticed his black attire with a blade on his side just like hers. "Bull?" Raven smirked at his quick grip on the hilt of his blade. "Tell me, Bull Faunus, what brings you here then since you think you can outmatch me."

The Bull Faunus walked forward and stood before Raven with a table in between them. "Call me Adam." He said and looked around her tent. "I'm here to ask for your help since I hear your tales on how you help Faunus."

Raven kept her eyes on Adam and tilted her head. "You want my help, boy? I don't give out my services or bandits to just anyone."

Adam threw a picture onto the table and smirked. "I think once you find out exactly who I'm after you will help me. I also know your secret. One you kept from your brother and daughter."

Raven narrowed her red eyes at Adam and picked up the picture. She then looked at it and back at Adam. "Team RWBY from Beacon?"

"Yes, I'm after my beauty, Blake Belladonna," Adam said carefully and watched Raven closely.

Raven walked away from Adam and turned her back on him. "Why exactly do you want this Faunus?"

"She is my beauty and she ran from White Fang after a…misunderstanding. I can't get close to her to talk since that blonde is always by her side or the rest of her team." Adam walked around the table and stood behind Raven.

"That blonde is my daughter," Raven said carefully and listened to his rapid heartbeat. "What is it you have on me exactly, Adam?"

Adam smirked and sat down on the table. "You and your brother suffered a great loss of your team but you could have prevented it. Ozpin told you such when you encountered him again to raise your daughter and her sister." Adam met the cold stare from Raven as she turned to face him. "Ozpin gave your team gifts, to turn into such fine birds to travel all of Remnant and the rest into Vampires. You and your brother, however, got another gift from Ozpin."

Raven growled low and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. "I think it is time you leave."

"That gift is a blessing to bring life or a curse to take away life. Ozpin didn't know which one of you held which gift but when you left Taiyang and Summer took your place…Qrow being there sure didn't help, hm?" Adam grabbed Raven's arm before she could smack him and grinned. "I struck a nerve?"

Raven narrowed her eyes and struck Adam between his legs with her knee and smirked. "No, just a good distraction though." Raven watched Adam fall to his knees and groaned. "What exactly is it you want of me since you hold this knowledge? Not many know what we are."

Adam growled low and looked up at Raven. "I want to become what you are…To get back what is mine."

Raven looked down at the picture that fell onto the table and looked back at Adam. "I think if she ran then she had a good reason to run from such a beast."

Adam placed his hand on the floor and closed his eyes. "I don't understand…You help Faunus but won't help me?"

Raven looked down at him. "I help those in need. You just want to be greedy and hurt people." Raven knelt down in front in him. "That's my job," Raven smirked and grabbed Adam by his neck and dragged him outside of her tent.

Adam fell to the ground from Raven's grasp and looked up at her. "You will regret this!" Adam yelled at Raven and everyone in camp turned to face him.

"No, I think you will if you expect my tribe to just sit there and let a child attack their leader." Raven flashed him a grin with fangs in full view for all to see. "Everyone here has been by my side for a long time, boy. Even though this camp is small doesn't mean we can't hold our own against intruders."

Adam growled and looked around at all the mix Humans and Faunus around him. "You turn all of them but not me?"

Raven chuckled and walked slowly in a circle around him. "I didn't turn, at first sight, some were turned base on close to death or some proved their loyalty." Raven came back around in front of Adam and met his eyes. "I don't just turn anyone, boy."

Adam stood up slowly and pulled out his sword. "I'm done talking. I'll prove myself in a battle to show you I deserve such power."

Raven rolled her eyes but waved him on. "Very well… I need a new punching bag anyways."

-CPz-

Ruby swung her left fist only for Yang to grab her arm and smirked. "Too slow, Rubes." Yang ducked in time before Ruby threw her right fist at Yang.

"Yang, why are we doing this when you know I suck at hand combat?" Ruby let out a yelp as she was leg kicked to the mat.

"Well, my little Sis got me a nice motorbike and I wanted to return the sisterly love," Yang smirked as Ruby didn't bother getting back up.

"It was from the whole team too," Ruby mumbled and rolled over onto her stomach.

"Come on, Rubes." Yang walked up behind Ruby and pulled her up by her leg. "You need to take this seriously. I might be taking it easy on you but that's because I'm your sister."

Ruby looked at her sister from upside down and growled. "This is taking it easy? I hate to see how you really go all out on someone." Ruby used her semblance and moved out of Yang's grasp and kicked Yang dead on her jaw and heard a crack as she flipped behind Yang onto the mat.

Yang felt her head smack hard against the mat and looked up at the ceiling with wide red eyes. "Ow." Yang chuckled and rolled over onto her side to face Ruby. "Nice one, Sis."

"Had enough you two?" Blake asked as she walked over to her two teammates. "Weiss wants Ruby back in one piece for their study date," Blake smirked as Ruby bolted for the door in a petal of red roses.

"Missed me already, Kitten?" Yang asked and was pulled up by Blake.

"Maybe," Blake said with a smile and pulled Yang behind her to the showers. "Need to clean up though before you even think about kissing me."

"Oh, so you want to join me then?" Yang flashed Blake a grin before grabbing her stuff and walking over to the joint showers.

Blake rolled her eyes but smiled as she followed Yang to the door. "I'm not joining you but I do want to talk."

"About?" Yang smirked and let the warm water wash over her.

Blake looked around the locker room to make sure it was only them. "I want to know if others can become like you…"

Yang stopped washing her hair and looked at Blake. "Becoming like me? Like…a Vampire?" Yang asked slowly and quietly as she heard people walking in.

Blake nodded but left to wait for Yang by her locker.

Moments later Yang came walking out in casual clothes and threw some stuff into her locker before walking out with Blake close behind.

"What do you mean to become like me?" Yang whispered as they walked down the halls.

Blake looked down at her hands and sighed. "I don't want to know what it is like without you by my side. I know what it is like to feel alone and be alone and I see it all over your face at times with us and Team JNPR."

Yang stopped walking once Blake and she made it to the fountain and slowly turned to face her Partner. "You want to become a monster? A bloodthirsty beast?" Yang looked into Blake's amber eyes with her red eyes. "Like me?"

"But I am in love with you, Yang. You are not a monster. You are opposite of one and trust me I know." Blake said and crossed her arms over her chest. "I don't want to lose you, Yang."

Yang looked down and growled. "I don't want you to ever feel this pain I do when it comes to bloodlust…"

"Yang, I know you are in pain but you never let us help you anymore. You keep shoving me back or Ruby and running off at the sight of blood. Why can't we help you? Why can't you just turn me?!" Blake slightly yelled and her cat ears darted back in her black bow.

Yang turned her back on Blake and sighed. "It's not that easy to just turn someone. I never have anyways…" Yang looked over her shoulder and saw the hurt across Blake's face. "And besides…Pyrrha has been helping me with the bloodlust or I'll go on hunts without Ruby so she doesn't see the monster her sister is becoming." Yang said quietly and looked down.

"Yang…my ex was a monster. You are not. Trust me when I say I know you aren't one." Blake walked up behind Yang and hugged her waist tight.

"You never talk about your past. Your ex and your parents…Why?" Yang asked carefully and turned to face her partner.

"Some things aren't worth mentioning." Blake looked away from Yang.

"Blake…" Yang pulled her closer and kissed her gently on her lips. "This is about the attack from my mother, isn't it? Afraid to lose me and being alone?"

Blake nodded against Yang's neck as she buried her face. "I always run when things get worse…I don't want to run from this, us, or anything trying to tear us apart. So, when you think we are ready…I want you to turn me, Yang." Blake said as she looked up into Yang's lilac eyes.

Yang looked into Blake's amber eyes and leaned closer to kiss her once again. "I'll always have your back, Partner," Yang said with a smile which Blake returned. "Besides…you can't run from me since I'll be searching every inch of Remnant to find your bellabooty."

Blake groaned at the joke and buried her face once again into Yang's neck who was chuckling. "So lucky I love you."

Yang smirked and closed her eyes as she held onto Blake close. "I love you too, Blakey."

Off in the distance, the bumblebee duo was being watched by a shadowy figure behind the trees. "Soon…" A dark smile spread across the shadow's features as the person walked deeper into the forest.
