RWBY: Lost and Forgotten
Chapter 2
Willow
It took a few hours to arrive at Menagerie by airship. Landing on the port, I grabbed my suitcase, thanked the pilot and began walking around the island.
Seeing a stand a few yards away, I walked over and waited in line to talk to the person behind it. Once I got there, the Faunus looked me up and down before giving me a confused look. "Excuse me, where is the Belladonna residence?" I asked her.
"You're not a Faunus." she told me. "Word of warning, some Faunus here don't exactly like humans. But to answer your question: the Belladonna residence is down that trail and the biggest house you'll see." she pointed.
Looking where she pointed, I turned back to her, and said a quick thank you before heading down the trail.
It took me about a minute to reach the house and knock on the door. "Just a minute!" a voice called.
Hearing footsteps approach, the door opened to a cat Faunus with a few gold piercings in her cat ears, two on her right ear and one on her left. She had short black hair and yellow eyes. "May I help you?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm looking for Clay?" I said.
Her eyes seemed to darken. "Clay is...no longer with us." she said.
"What?"
"He was killed when a protest went wrong." she told me. "Is there...anything else I can help you with?"
"I...I'm pregnant with his child." I told her to which her eyes widened. "You're to woman he told us about."
"Wha-?"
"Wait here." she closed the door. About a minute passed before it reopened, this time a man opened the door.
"My wife filled me in on why you're here." the man said. "But seeing that you came all this way from Atlas, I assume you can't take care of the child."
I slowly shook my head. "If my husband found out, it wouldn't-"
He held his hand up. "Enough said." he told me. "Please, come inside." picking up my suitcase and walking inside, the man turned to me. "You can leave your suitcase there." he pointed to a spot by the door.
Putting the suitcase down, I continued to follow the man into the next room. "I will allow you to stay as long as you need." he told me. "But I assume your plan is to have the child and return to your home, correct?"
I slowly nodded. "Would you...look after it?" I asked.
He smiled. "Of course. Me and Kali have a daughter of our own, so it wouldn't hurt to raise a second child."
"How old is she?" I asked, curious.
"One." he answered. "They'll be young enough that we'll raise them as brother and sister." he looked to the floor. "Since my brother isn't around to do so."
"I'm...sorry for your loss." I said softly. "And thank you for letting me stay until I have the child."
"It's fine."
Nine months later
I was in bed holding my new born baby boy. He had pure white locks and a pair of cat ears. "He's beautiful." I felt a few tears roll down my cheeks. Turning to Kali and Ghira, I slowly handed him over to them. "You'll look after him?"
"Of course." Kali said, taking the child into her arms. "We'll treat him as one of our own."
"Did you have any names picked out?" Ghira asked.
I slowly nodded. "Chrome. Chrome Belladonna."
