RWBY: Lost and Forgotten
Chapter 11
Chrome
"Weiss, just because Blake might have been a part of the White Fang, doesn't mean Chrome is as well." Yang said.
"I guarantee they were both in the White Fang!" Weiss growled. "So, are you?!" she walked up to me.
I stumbled over my words as I backed away from her, my hands in front of me. "I-I can-" I felt my lower back press against the bookshelf by the open window.
"Weiss, lay off will you?" Yang stepped in front of her.
"How are you going to stand there and protect this...scum?!" Weiss growled. "He's a filthy Faunus that's part of the White Fang! He's probably killed dozens of innocent people and ruined a dozen more lives!"
Each word felt like a stab to the gut. 'Is this really the affect the White Fang has on people?' I thought.
"That isn't fair, Weiss." Ruby stepped in, getting the Heiress to turn around to face her.
While the three were arguing, I silently slid out the window, and dropped to the ground below. Falling onto my back from my landing, my aura took most of the damage, I got up and saw Weiss, Yang and Ruby looking out the window. Pulling my hood over my head, I started running away from the building.
An hour later, Vale
Walking the darkened streets, Weiss' words echoed in my head. "How are you going to stand there and protect this...scum? He's a filthy Faunus!" for some reason, her words cut much more deeply than I would've imagined.
Feeling a tear sting my left eye, I wiped it away. Glancing around the street, I saw a motel and started approaching it. Heading towards the main building, I walked inside, pulling off my hood.
The place was empty except for the lady behind the desk. Approaching her, I reached into my pocket for some Lien. "Na-uh." the lady said.
"Huh?" I looked her in the eye.
"Can't you read?" she growled as she pointed to a small sign that hung from the front of the desk. "No. Faunus. Allowed."
"Oh." I put the Lien back in my pocket. "Sorry to disturb you, ma'am." pulling my hood back on, I left the building and placed my hands in my pockets.
Walking the streets, I continued to search for somewhere to spend the night.
A few hours later
It had gotten pretty late, and I had no luck finding a place to stay. Extremely tired at this point, I was on the verge of passing out when I saw an Inn at the end of the street. Stumbling over to the building, I walked in, barely having the strength to keep myself up as I approached the front desk.
The girl behind the desk watched me as I reached into my pocket and pulled out my wallet. "Do you service Faunus?" I asked her.
She opened her mouth to say something but I couldn't understand her as I slowly lost consciousness. Feeling my legs give out, I felt something stop me from falling.
I tried to get a look at what it was, but my eyes closed.
