(Notice anything different? Well dear readers, boys and girls...time for the finale of Silas' past.)

He Who Fights Monsters...

3 Years Ago

"Silas? Is there something wrong?" My mom asks me sounding concerned, I was angry. And I mean utterly in fury

"Mom...Dad...things have gotten a bit more, radical with the White Fang as you know." I say quietly. My Dad places a heavy hand on my back, "We heard, seen and read the news son. Have you done any of the things that they've been talking about?" He asks, scared.

I haven't done the things that the news has been talking about on the new White Fang: burning shops to the ground, starting riots, hell even murders and torture.

"I haven't Dad, so no worries." I say with a small smile on my face, the two sigh sounding relieved. "Silas. I think it's time you leave the White Fang." My Mom says, "Forever." My Dad adds in

"I know guys I know...I also have a sort of plan for this. There's going to be a rally, Khan is going to be there from what I can here along with Adam. I'm going to resign right then and there so I can possibly get some others to follow in my footsteps." I explain to them, it's on a hope and a chance I can do this.

I hug them both tightly, "I love you both so much." I whisper, I'm a bit scared of what's to come. They hug me back just as tight.

"We love you too Silas." My Mom whispers back

"And no matter what may happen, remember:" My Dad starts up

"We will always be there for you: in your heart and your soul." They say in unison. A single tear rolls down my cheek.

I stop hugging them and sniff, and with a nod and an 'I love you' I head off.

I'm sorry Adam. I'm sorry Blake. But I can no longer be a part of all this madness.

Rally, Three Hours Later

I was nearing the site of the rally: I could tell because there were thousands upon thousands of Faunus there. And dozens of White Fang guards keeping watch, and a stage: Blake, Adam and his lieutenant...no Khan.

"And so my fellow Faunus!" Adam dramatically states, "If we are to remove the shackles of oppression around our throats and limbs, we must unite and fight back against those who would DARE DENY US OUR FREEDOM!"

The crowd roars in cheer. Time for me to end this.

I make my way past the guards and into the crowd.

"WE ARE BETTER THAN ANY HUMAN! FOR WE ARE UNITED! WE ARE UNITED BY-"

"BIGOTRY AND INSANITY!" I yell out as I make my way onto the stage, Adam's lieutenant stands and reaches for the weapon on his back. Adam holds his hand up and shakes his head.

"What do you think you're doing Silas?" He asks, his voice dripping with venom.

"I'm opening these misguided souls' eyes to the truth Adam. You know it! And I know it!"

He merely growls, "You dare think that we are a lost cause?!" He spits accusingly, finger point and all. I felt anger slowly start to boil in me at those words.

"You've become a sympathizer!" He angrily spits again earning murmurs from the crowd, I look at Blake...she looks so sad. I look back at Adam who is quaking with rage.

"You've thrown away your beliefs in siding with those TYRANTS called Humans! We are stronger now than when the White Fang was a mere protest group! How dare-"

"SHUT YOUR FUCKING FACE YOU MANIAC!" I roared at him, I was at a breaking point of rage. I needed to release all of it out onto Adam else I'd burn up.

"Look around you Adam! We haven't been worth shit for all the time we've been doing this militant horseshit! How utterly goddamn delusional do you have to be, to even fucking think that our own kind sees us as saviors?! Have any of you checked the news lately?! They're calling us terrorists and murderers, fanatics and torturers, psychopaths and bigots that...I am not making this shit up: everything that's wrong with Faunus! That's a bit nuts, am I right? EXCEPT ALL OF IT IS PLAIN AS DAY! Now...I ain't asking that we should just give up and let the racists who caused us to form win, but we can at least stop acting like holier-than-thou fanatics! We aren't fighting for the rights of our Faunus brothers and sisters anymore, we're now just a bunch of assholes who kill people that don't agree with us. Because fuck you asshole!: we're a discriminated minority! We're thugs! We're outlaws! We're scum! We're..." I look around and point to Blake.

"You! Blake! Is this what you joined the White Fang for? To steal from people who despite their flaws are just trying to get by in life as best they could?! And how about you?!" I point at Adam's lieutenant

"Did you join to torture Humans and kill them out of sheer blind hatred for the whole you can't see them as just as capable of feeling and thinking like you?! And you Adam?!" I point to him now

"To fire bomb hotels and brainwash teenagers and kids into becoming mass-murderers?!"

I shake my head and start walking off, "If any of you have any sense of sanity, honor or morality. Follow me. Because this isn't the White Fang I used to know, it's become no better than our oppressors. A full-circle revolution! We've become just as bad as what we're fighting against!"

I leave on those words, nobody tried to stop me.

Three Hours Later

Having putted the rally to a halt, I felt good about it all things considered...except for having Blake be brought into the accusation. But on the horizon where my home and the village is...I see something wrong.

Black smoke floating into the air, an orange glow.

"Oh...oh no."

I see someone running as fast as they can, I stop him mid run.

"Can you tell me what's happening?! Please! My parents live in that village!" I desperately plea with him, he can only pant

"White Fang...attacking...something about...wolf Faunus-" he gets cut off by the crack of a gun shot, he groans with blood coming from the corner of his mouth. Dead.

I lay the man on the ground, I was horrified and disgusted. I closed his eyes for him...rest in peace sir.

I look and see a White Fang member with a gun in hand, she scoffs and shakes her head. "You're welcome for that traitor, one final gift from Adam to you."

I barred my teeth and growled in hatred, "What the hell did he do to you, huh?! This was an innocent man you crazy bitch! What did he do to deserve getting murdered?!"

She scoffs and gives a dark chuckle. "He was a Human. Is there anything else to it?" She mockingly asks

I unfold Waxing and Waning. She aims the gun at me, "Don't come another step closer traitor! Or else I will put you down like a rabid mutt!"

I didn't care, I slowly walked forward. Her grip is shaking, she's getting nervous about all of this.

"Stop! I-I mean it!" She sputters out, I only keep moving until she starts quaking. She isn't angry like Adam was,

She was afraid.

Afraid that I was going to gut her like a fish and move on. I am not a monster, so as I got up to her face that was so full of terror. I grabbed her gun and tossed it aside.

"You are going do exactly as I say:" I coldly state to her, "You are going to tell me what is happening to my village, you are going to return to your family if you have one. And you will never, ever, ever, ever help the White Fang again. Have. I. Made. Myself. Clear?"

"T-T-T-T-They're trying to send a message by destroying i-it! That traitors will suffer for and be hunted down! T-They'll pin the blame on the Grimm. T-That's all I know!" She pitifully pleads, I nod

"Thank you." I say before running as fast as I can to the village.

Upon arrival I see something horrible:

Homes being licked by orange flames that are made by White Fang goons throwing petrol bombs, blood splattered corpses laid down on the ground and tossed into ditches, I need to find my parents quick.

"MOM! DAD! WHERE ARE YOU?!" I call out, I was utterly ignored by those destroying the homes of my neighbors. "MOM! DAD!"

"SILAS!" I here someone call out.

Mom.

"I'M COMING MOM! I'M COMING DAD! WAIT THERE!" I call out running to the direction of their voices.

"SILAS! NO DON'T-" by the time I got there I saw them on their knees, and I was hit with a punch to the gut by Adam's lieutenant.

Everything was black for a moment. Before I heard singing

"Happy birthday tooo meeee~" a raspy voice sung, harsh and dry like a desert. "Happy birthday toooo meeeee~ happy birthday dear woooorrrrrlllllld." What I saw was something that scared me.

A gigantic black wolf with mangy, matted fur. Long and deadly claws...serrated, no eyes at all and in place of it scars, a mouth filled with vicious and barred teeth with no gums but with bits of flesh in them, and blood and gore caked around it's jaws and dripping. It hits me, right then and there.

This thing is the one singing.

"Happy birthday toooo meeeeeee~" it chimes, there is silence for a long time before it cackles madly. "Welcome to your mind kiddo! I am your host: your hidden power!" It states dramatically

"W-What are you? W-what do you want?!" I snap at it

"Yesh relax kiddo! I'm your secret Semblance! The hidden power that you, that's right: YOU have ya special snowflake! You can call me Cerberus, Cu Sith, the Hellhound, the Wolf, but call me what ya will bucko." It then smiles, "I just wanna see you use my power."

I snap back to the realm of reality, my stomach is in pain. Adam standing at the side of my parents with Wilt held out: "Why did you have to make me do this, Silas?" He asks, "I am sorry you have such a troublesome son Mr. and Mrs. Silver...but he has left me no choice."

My Dad spits at him, "You are not the boy who was friends with our son! You are a demon! A monster!" He snaps at him

He looks at me with tearful eyes, "Son..." He shakily says "Remember what we told you that-"

"We will be with you!" My Mom sobs out

"Heart and Soul." They say in unison. Adam holds the blade over the back of their necks.

Slash.

My parents have been murdered before my eyes by my former best friend, their heads rolling my way. My parent's headless bodies drop lifelessly to the ground.

"Awwwww, what happened to Mommy and Daddy?" The canid thing says, giggling.

Adam swings off the blood and sheaths his blade. He turns his back and walks away, a snap of his fingers and dozens upon dozens of White Fang start to circle around me. "What ya say Silas?" The canid asks, now a manifestation before my eyes.

"Want the power to get revenge and live?" It asks.

"Yes." I say, "I want the power Black Dog."

It laughs manically before disappearing.

And I felt a surge of adrenaline and power surge through me: My limbs start to grow in length and width, I can feel myself growing larger and larger, the White Fang are murmuring shit like: "Oh my God." and "W-What's happening to him?"

My face grew out into a snout with my teeth becoming long and canid, and even white hair starts coming out of my skin. By the end of it, I'm towering over all of them: and I cannot speak.

So I howl.

"Good, goooood, gooooood." The Black Dog says in approval, "NOW KILL THEM ALL!"

I am happy to oblige

I tear one of them right in half, another I smack into one of the burning homes. "W-WHAT ARE YOU ALL JUST STANDING AROUND FOR?! KILL IT! KILLITKILLITKILLIT!"

The all start shooting and stabbing and slashing me. My flesh healing right up from their assault on me.

Kill. Kill. Kill.

I grab two of them and start smashing them into their comrades. Shattering them like glass.

But something wraps around my throat, I claw at it trying to get the thing off. "No! Come ooooon! The fun part was just coming up!" The Black Dog whines, I can only howl and howl as they get away. I'm getting tired.

Back to sleep I go.

Sometime later

I woke up. I feel dirty and sick.

Looking to myself: I am in my normal form and somehow with clothes and all, and looking around...everything is nothing but ashes.

And standing in front of me in shock and sadness: Blake. I was too angry to say anything, I get up and stare at her.

I spit at the ground. I sink to the ground and start to sob, and sob away like there is no tomorrow. I don't know how much time passes

I look back up and see Blake is gone. I wearily sigh and take the bodies of my parents, along the way I grab a shovel and something that would pass for a tombstone. Bringing my parents bodies ontop of a hill...I burry them. It takes me an hour to burry them and put the dirt back over.

I engrave a writing on the stone: 'R.I.P. CLAY AND SNOW SILVER, THEY WERE MORE THAN A SON COULD EVER ASK FOR.' fighting off a sniff. I leave my now destroyed home.

The girl I love is gone back to the group I left. My former best friend murdered my family and destroyed my home.

I felt numb, but I have two goals in life now. Two that I will follow until I die or complete them.

Destroy the mockery of the White Fang that has come from the corruption of Khan.

And kill Adam Taurus.

(...should see to it that he himself does not become a monster...and so concludes the past of Silas Silver. And I will admit, I did feel bad about doing this: and next chapter? To Forever Fall we go, and a wrap up for Silas and Blake.)
