The room was silent. Everyone taking in what he just said. Now wondering what he meant, but more importantly why? Why would this man do such thing to his own daughter. A few more moments of silence before Ozpin spoke up.
"So you killed your daughter?" He asked. The stranger Flaring his nostrils and clenching his fists.
"I never said that," He replied, Venom in his voice as he growled. "I said that thing killed her."
"That thing that happens to be you?" Ozpin asked. Curious as to what would happen next. He could clearly tell that the man in front of him was doing everything he can to not Burst out in anger.
The stranger. Flaring his nostrils. Looking down at the table, Staring at nothing, Knowing he got himself in this situation. But he never expected Ozpin to ask these questions. Questions that aren't even worth answering in his eyes. Questions where the answers should be clear as day.
Ozpin took a sip from his mug. Keeping his expression neutral as The Stranger.
"What happened. If it wasn't you, Then who... or what killed your daughter?" Ruby asked. Nervous about how the Stranger will react. The Stranger took a deep breath. Reeling in what Ruby just asked. Worried about how the stranger will react.
The stranger sat there in silence for a moment. Eventually looking at Ozpin, This didn't go Unnoticed as Ozpin looked back. The stranger took a glance at his cuffed hands. Signaling what he wants. Ozpin taking the hint, reached over and uncuffed his hands despite team RWBY's protest. The stranger rubbed his wrists a bit.
"What are you doing?" Weiss asked.
The stranger started unbuttoning his shirt as he replied. "Showing you a piece of what happened." He said. Eventually taking his shirt off revealing the deep scars on his chest. Each member reacted in horror. Yang immediately covered Ruby's eyes upon the reveal. Weiss had to leave the room covering her mouth as it looked like she was going to throw up. Blake was left absolutely speechless as she looked on in horror. Yang was absolutely speechless, Making sure Ruby doesn't see the horror that was set upon them.
"I fought it too. I barely won as you can see." He said. The room in silence. Weiss finally coming back only to be frozen solid upon the sight of the scars again. The Stranger buttoned his shirt back up and everyone seemed to have relaxed.
The stranger sighed. "That creature killed my entire family in one night, I was barely able to kill it. I couldn't do anything to stop it. I had no control over it." The Stranger said as tears slowly fall down his face.
The room stood silent for a while. No one knowing what to say or how to react. Team RWBY in shock at what they heard. Ozpin expression remained neutral. The room fell silent The Stranger getting up and leaving the room, No one bothering to stop him. Everyone feeling a bit of his pain now. But one question still remained in all their minds, What exactly happened to his family.
I know this took a while to write mostly due to writers block. I had bigger ideas for this chapter but I didn't know how to write it and I kept thinking of stuff I could do for Remnant's Last Chance. so I'm gonna put focus back on that for a while
