(Time for something different, a flashback chapter. And writer's block slightly hit me, so it would have come earlier if it didn't come. BUT ON WITH THE STORY!)

The Pup and The Calf

12 Years Ago

"Silas! You're going to be late!" I hear my mom yell out, "I'm ready when you are!" I call back out leaving my room. My parents standing their smiling at me, two young adults.

My mom says I look just like my dad, minus brown hair and green eyes. I got my details from my mom, she has a kind look to her. Both of them wolf Faunus, and in their hands signs.

'I AM A PERSON TOO'

'IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS'

"You ready to go Si?" My dad asks, I smile happily and nod. "Good!" The three of us head out the door, we live in a small village of about...two hundred or so people. It's just outside of Vale about thirty miles away, the people here are Faunus who were given the opportunity to live somewhere else instead of staying in Menagerie. Like an apology.

But it's sad that we're still not being treated well by humans, so a group formed to help last year. By the Faunus, for the Faunus

The White Fang

My parents joined immediately telling me that they wanted to help, I always begged for them to take me with them. Today they're letting me come along at a rally, only if I can keep close to them once the protest starts.

It's going to go good, hopefully!

One hour later

After an hour of traveling me and my parents arrived in Vale, just ahead a group of Faunus are gathered outside the building with signs in hand, about half a hundred of them. My parents explained on the way that this place is a restaurant called 'Remnant Restaurant '...I asked my dad if the guy was lazy in picking a name.

"Probably." He told me

But this place isn't good, they told me that the owner uses a Faunus labor force: long hours with little to no pay. "Silas sweety?" I hear my mom ask, I look up at her curiously "Yeah mom?"

"Seems the rally isn't starting quite yet, so go meet with some other people in the mean time. Alright?" She asks smiling at me and rubbing my head

I laugh a bit smiling, "Ok mom!"

"Oh and Silas." She cuts in, "Find us soon once the rally gets started...got it?" She asks me again.

"You got it mom! Love you!" I tell her giving a hug before heading into the crowd to meet with people. Most of the people are either teens or adults, I do give hi's and waves to them. But I do see one kid in the crowd shuffling nervously:

He has red hair, he seems to be a pretty tall kid. Maybe a few inches taller than me, the one thing marking him as Faunus being little black bull horns coming out of his head. He probably just needs a friend!

I walk over to him and give a tap on the shoulder

"Ah!" He screams jumping back a bit, "Oh! Sorry for scaring you! I-I didn't mean to!" I apologize. He looks at me with red eyes, "I-I-It's o-ok, y-you just startled me is all..." He stutters out

"I'm Silas, Silas Silver." I tell him smiling with a hand held out, he gives a nervous look and takes my hand to shake it. "A-Adam," he says "Adam Taurus"

"What's wrong? You seem nervous." I tell him, he gives a small smile and shakes his head. "I'm not very good with people, sorry. Not too many friends." He tells me

"How about I be your friend?" I ask Adam, he looks at me curiously. "You want to be my friend?"

"Mhm! I'd love to be friends with you!"

He smiles more happily, "Alright Silas, best of friends!" we both laugh a bit and give each other pats on the shoulder

"GET OUT OF HERE YOU FILTHY ANIMALS!" Someone yells out in a harsh voice causing me to jump, uh oh. "I gotta go now Adam, you take care alright?" I tell my friend before rushing back to my parents

"I AM NOT AN ANIMAL! I AM AS HUMAN AS YOU ARE!" A deeper voice yells out, I get back to my parents who have their attention turned toward the restaurant. "Mom? Dad? Is it happening?" I ask them scared. "It is Silas, but don't worry. We'll keep you safe." My dad whispers to me

"YOU FAUNUS HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO THAN PLAY MAKE BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY PEOPLE?!" The harsh voice yells out again, "GET OUTTA HERE BEFORE I CALL THE COPS!"

"THEN DO IT YOU SLIMY BASTARD! JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW MUCH OF A COWARD YOU ARE!" Another voice yells out, the group erupts hurling insults at the guy.

"Alright everyone please disperse in an orderly fashion." A new voice calls out, looking around there's five police officers all in uniform. "WE ARE NOT LEAVING!" My dad yells out, it kind of scares me that my dad sounds so intimidating when yelling.

"Please sir, if you and the other Faunus do not comply we will be forced to arrest you." The officer says, I need to help out some how. I rush past my parents and in front of the police officers

"How about me? Would you arrest me?" I ask them, the seem worried and look to one another. One of them walks forward and takes a knee in front of me.

He has a bushy brown mustache and brown eyes, he has heavy bags around his eyes from lack of sleep I guess. "Son," he starts up, his voice firm and kind "I wouldn't want to arrest any children...their parents too. Can you please tell me why the protest is happening and maybe the Vale police force will help. Ok?"

The idea sounds good, the police would help take this jerk to jail and we can all head home. "Well...sir, this owner has been using Faunus for cheap labor. Long hours, little to no pay, things like that."

He nods, "Thank you son. What's your name?"

"M-My name? I-I'm Silas, you sir?" I ask him, he chuckles a bit and tussles my hair. "Little nervous aye? I'm Burgundy Gordon." He says smiling before standing back up

"Alright! We know why you're here! Just let us through and we will speak with this store's owner, you may all return to your homes!"

"YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME YOU'RE SIDING WITH THESE...THINGS ARE YOU?!" The owner of the store calls out

"Sir if you don't mind me saying: shut your damn yap! Now move along everyone!" Mr. Gordon yells out

The group starts muttering and dispersing, I smile and run back to my parents. "Are we going home guys?" I ask looking up at them, my mom gives a nod. "I guess we are. This protest was pretty successful all in all." She says patting my head "Snow?" My dad asks

"Yeah Clay?"

He seems to be pointing past me, turning my head I see Adam standing there. "Who's that honey?" My mom asks, I look up at her "Oh! That's my new friend Adam! Adam, these super-awesome-amazing people are my mom and dad!"

He gives a wave to them, "Hello."

"Shy aren't you?" My dad says laughing, "My name is Clay. And this is my wife Snow." He says pointing to him and my mom

"It's nice to meet you Adam." She says to him

"I-I should give my full name shouldn't I?" Adam asks rubbing his arm, "It's Adam Taurus." He says

Friends to the end, Adam and Silas

(Kinda short, but there we have it. A question I have to ask now is: Do I have your attention?)
