Chapter 11: Black Fang
What's that noise? I think.
"You are so lucky." Cinder said to me.
"And why's that?" I ask her.
"Some Faunus just showed up and are protesting the Vytal tournament. So it is postponed until the protesting is taken care of." She informs me.
"How is this good?" I ask
"This is good for you, because now you don't have to fight the undefeated Atlas regional tournament champion three years straight." Cinder says.
"You're telling me that I have to fight the great Monty Oum in the finals." I exclaim.
"That's correct. And if you fail I get to kill you and all your friends." Cinder says as she starts to laugh maniacally.
I hope the protests don't stop. I think as Cinder turns on a television.
"This just in. Faunus have just started protesting Faunus rights in front of the arena. We were able to ask what this was about." Said the reporter on the screen as she went up to a deer Faunus. "Why are you protesting the Vytal festival? The last I knew the festival was pro Faunus rights."
"We are protesting because a fellow Faunus was severely injured during a battle yesterday and you people didn't do anything." Said the girl
"Well that has happened before. Right?" The reporter asked.
"Actually no it hasn't, but very recently a lot of Faunus have been accepted and injured in the Vytal festival." The girl said to the reporter.
Just then the cameraman panned up and showed a Bullhead hovering just above the arena.
"We'll take it from here." Said a man from somewhere. Just then a group of people jumped out of the Bullhead and landed in front of the reporter.
"Who are you?" The reporter asked.
"I'm Adam Taurus! And this is the White Fang!" Adam exclaimed. As he says this the White Fang pull out several different weapons and start attacking civilians.
"I have to help them!" I shout to Cinder.
"You and Vlad may go." She says as my cage opens. "But you might not like it out there." She says, but I'm not listening.
"Vlad!" I scream as we kiss each other.
"How's my rose doing?" He asked once we separated.
"I'm fine. I still have my thorns." I say as I flash Black Rose.
"I love it when you get feisty. Now let's go save those people." He says as we run off towards the entrance.
"If any human tries to get close to the arena we will kill you instantly!" Adam shouted to the crowd as Vlad and I came running out of the arena.
"What about them?" Asked a civilian.
"Who?" Adam asked as he turned around. "VLADIMIR! What a surprise!"
"Vlad who is that and why did he just call you Vladimir?" I ask
"That is my father. Why do you think I never mentioned him. I ran away from home a year before we met." Vlad informs me.
"Is this your girlfriend?" Adam asked as he grabbed me and and put a sword against my throat.
"LILY!" Vlad screamed. "LET HER GO!"
"Um… NO." Adam says as he pushes the sword closer to my neck. "Why would you care for a simple human like this?"
"She's not a human." Vlad informs Adam.
"Oh but she looks like a human." Adam says, but I drain some of his aura and grow small horns.
"What about now?" I ask
"WHAT? HOW!" Adam exclaims as he releases me and sees I have horns that look exactly like his.
"I can drain aura." I say to him.
"Dad just leave these humans alone." Vlad says as he tries to reason with his father.
"NO THESE VERMIN INJURED A FELLOW FAUNUS AND NOW THEY MUST PAY!" Adam shouts.
"Humans didn't injure Zane. I did." I say
"What! How dare you hurt your own kind." Adam says.
"Hey in my defence I just turned into a Faunus like a few weeks ago." I inform him
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now." Adam says
"Because you can't kill what you can't catch." I say as I activate my wings and fly up above him.
"Lily get away from here!" Vlad shouts to me.
"NO I won't leave you." I shout back.
"I'll be fine." Vlad shouts as I start to fly off but as soon as I hear Night's Edge make contact with Adam's weapon I quickly turn around to help him. I fly above them and then I dive bomb Adam.
"NOOOOO!" Vlad screams as he sees what I'm doing.
"Huh?" Adam says as he looks up. As he looks up I pull out Black Rose and swing at him, but he is surprisingly fast and blocks my attack.
"What a rookie move." Adam says in a condescending voice.
"What you don't know is that Vlad and I always in sync." I say as Vlad stabs Adam in the back.
"How… could… you…?" Adam asked in his final breath.
"You were never a good father." Vlad said coldly as Adam took his last breath.
The members of the White Fang quickly retreated back into their Bullhead and left without a trace. The other Faunus that stuck around once Adam showed up left just as quickly as the White Fang and all that remained of the crowd was the reporter and a few human.
"I think I need to lay down." Vlad says as he collapses on me.
"You just defeated the leader of the White Fang. What are you going to do with the reward that was on Adam's head." The reporter asked as she shoved a microphone in my face.
"What? We don't the money. My boyfriend just had to kill his father. How do you think he feels?" I say as tears start to form in my eyes.
"Do you have any regrets?" The reporter asked.
"JUST LEAVE US ALONE!" I shout as I activate my speed, grab hold of Vlad, and dash into the arena with a flurry of black rose petals.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter. I got emotional while writing it. If you have any suggestions please PM me and leave a review.
