Countess Blake Belladonna's heart ached every time she saw the full moon.

Her beloved would be out somewhere this night. Ruby Rose was a kind girl, if only everyone else could see that. Instead, in the night of the full moon she becomes a creature that people feared.

As a monster of the night herself, Blake could not help but sympathize.

"Stay safe my beloved. I will wait for you."

Blake passed by the mirror, that showed no reflection. Countess Belladonna was double cursed to be a vampire and a cat faunus, feeding on the living and hated for the ears on her head. For this reason she remained in the old castle Belladonna, long after her family had been rounded up and killed. Her fangs protruded upon hearing a sound.

"WHO DARES?!"

The doors had opened. A fearsome hairy wolf monster, clad in a red hood, pushed through rough steps until she collapsed to the ground. It was bleeding, arrows and sharp swords having been stabbed through her back. Blake ran over to the beast upon noticing the familiar silver eyes.

"RUBY!"

She rubbed her hands over her beloved. Ruby came to her one day, looking for food and rest during the night. Blake had graciously given it to her, the two becoming fast friends. Ruby would elect to remain in the castle unable to part from Blake. She told her what she was, a werewolf who was separated from family long ago. Blake sympathized greatly.

"You are safe with me," Blake gazed upon Ruby's eyes. "Rest here. I will deal with the scum that hurt you."

Ruby made a noise that sounded like a whine. Mercy, it seemed to plead. They knew not what they do. The Countess, however, had already made up her mind. She stared at Ruby's eyes, allowing her own to glow.

"I will have vengeance for the both of us, my love." Blake hated to use this hypnotic power, but it was necessary. Ruby was too kind for her own good. "Rest and let me take the lead."

The humans will know the pain she felt for so long.
