And it continues! I should mention I don't own RWBY and Harry Potter. I do own however this story as I have written it by myself. Can't take that from me lawyers!
"The first match of round four! The beautiful, Yang Xiao Long and the lovely, Pyrrha Nikos!" the ref signals the match to begin.
The two slowly circle each other before Yang makes the first move, firing shells down the stage at her while charging in for close range hand to hand. Pyrrha deflects them with her shield as she spears her weapon at Yang.
The blonde dodges around it and fires a punch at her head. Pyrrha ducks and gives a shield bash to make Yang back up, following it by a stab. Yang leans back and lets the weapon go over her head and snaps back up, throwing swift jabs like a boxer.
Pyrrha weaves around the jabs, and tosses in some of her own with her spear before the two girls break and jump back. Each grinning at the fight so far. Pyrrha takes the initiative this time around and charges with her shield up, blocking Yang's shots.
When they are in range of each other, they dance around, throwing kicks, stabs and close range shots at their opponent. There is sound of constant gunfire and metal on metal as they parry and attack at the same time. They both reloading on the fly as they try to get a hit past each other's guard. When Yang would force an opening by slapping Pyrrha's shield open, she would always have the spear coming in to break the attack before it starts. The same with Yang when Pyrrha finds a weakness.
Pyrrha goes in for a stab, but at the last moment, shifts her grip to discharge a round and Yang spins out of the way just in time to avoid the shot. In her spin, she sweeps her leg out and catches Pyrrha's foot, shifting her balance just a bit to create an opening to catch her with a kick to the hip which sends of tumbling a few feet.
She kicks herself back up and charges back into the fray without pause, throwing sharp and fast jabs and blocking any retaliation. Becoming far more aggressive than what we have seen so far. She gets in a hit to Yang's thigh and barely nicks it. Drawing the first blood in the ten minutes they have fought.
Yang swings in a roundhouse kick which slams into Pyrrha's shield, knocking it out of the amazon's hand. Following it, she delivers a mule kick into Pyrrha's stomach which sends her away from the shield.
Yang pressing the advantage she opened, came in with an ax kick, but Pyrrha rolls out of the way as it lands. Pyrrha gets her shield back using her semblance just in time to block another barrage from Yang's gauntlet shotguns.
Using her shotgun's recoil, she sends herself flying at Pyrrha to deliver a heavy punch, but the red-head steps just right and delivers a devastating shield bash to Yang's head. The fight breaks for a second as Yang teeters on the edge on consciousness. Pyrrha doesn't press the complete opening because she knew the fight was over by that hit. Finally succumbing to the heavy concussion, Yang passes out and collapses to the ground.
"I'll go with her Ruby. Don't worry. Just win so I can tell Yang you won the tournament," I tell Yang's worried little sister as I get up and pop through the entrance the medics went through with Yang and jogged to catch up.
I enter just behind the doctors to the medical bay and watch from the side as they examine her. "Concussion, minor lacerations and mild exhaustion." One of the doctors read out and the others agreed to this. I lean against the wall and watch them work.
When they finish dressing her head and leg, they put everything away. One of the doctors turns and spot me chilling on the wall. They jump and cry, "You can't be here Dog!" The others turn when the doctor yells.
"She's my teammate, I am staying here. If it makes you feel better," I will my ears and tail back into my body. "No more Faunus." I go and plop down on an empty seat at Yang's bed side. The doctor goes to escort me out, but I just glare at them until they drop it. When they all leave, I let my ears and tail back out. I really don't like them not out. I hear the cheers outside of the stadium as the matches continue until I hear they are taking a break for the semi-finals.
All the time, I am sitting with Yang as she sleeps and heals.
Ruby joins us soon after and sits on the bed. "What's her injuries?"
"Exhaustion, some cuts and a concussion. She'll be herself in a day with enough bed rest. So, you in the semi-finals?"
"Yeah. It's me, that bear guy, Pyrrha and Blake. Weiss had to fight Blake and she was thrown out of bounds by her ribbon a few minutes in. She is a little upset, but the fight was awesome! They are going to check on Nora and Jaune, maybe get some food." At the mention of food, Yang wakes and tries to sit up. I hold her down quickly to keep her from getting an even bigger headache.
She grabs her head, as the sudden movement still will hurt her and begins to glow yellow with her aura. "My head! Aurg, she really hits hard!" After a minute of the light show, Yang gets up and unsteadily get to her feet. "Man, I lost!"
"You feeling alright Yang?" She nods and tries to take another step, but her legs give. I catch her just before she hits the ground then put her back on the bed.
"Whoops, used too much aura. Man, I really wanted to see the other things at the festival." Sighing, I shift into Snuffles and lay in front of her, beckoning her to get on. Yang was so excited to see all the other things, so I can't let her just spend the rest of the day in bed. "Cool!" She hops on and gives my flank a tap like I am a pony. Huffing, I start to trot with Ruby at our side, giggling at us.
The medical staff keeps their distance as we walk out of the room. Not enough money going to them to have them confront a giant wolf and a scythe wielding teenager.
We leave the medical bay and go see what they have around. Everyone checks out the wolf as we walk around. Kids all come over to pet me. It's a little annoying, but their parents soon come and take them away. We make it to a food stand where Ruby buys some baked goods. She gets three funnel cakes and we pick an empty table.
I shift and put Yang down, then dig into the deadly food. We talk about how Ruby did in her matches. She apparently got to fight some random guy that didn't put up much of a fight. Bear's opponent just gave up before they fought. Understandable, that club could take out the gates of Hogwarts if he tried hard enough.
While eating our food, we are joined by everyone else. Jaune has a large bandage around his head while Nora is still her chippy self. "So, how did you all do?"
"I won!" Nora calls as she dances around Ren, singing something about a big man falling down. Set to the tone of London bridge.
Ren explains what she meant, "She was too much for the others to handle and by the end, they gave up because they couldn't catch her." I high-five Nora on her way around Ren as a congratulations. I regret it as her high fives hurt!
"I made it further than I thought I would. I made it to the fourth round before I lost. Top thirty, so that's something. How did you do Sirius? Ruby?"
"Won," I simply say to let Red explain what happened with her. She is near bursting to tell someone.
"I got to the semi-finals! Blake, Pyrrha and I with some big guy are the last to fight for A class! I hope I don't get the big guy though, he scares me."
"Wait... If you are still fighting, where did you win Sirius?" Jaune asks, confused. "I know you aren't a D class level, Nora got B, so where were you and what happened to your face?" Finally noticed the change.
"S class. Most of those guys, Ruby here could beat. They were good, but the only one I had trouble with surrendered after a bit." I leave out my frenzy as a result of what I think is dying, no need to worry the other team leader. "The tattoo is just a... battle wound. No idea why it healed like it did, but it doesn't hurt, so there is no reason to care about it."
"Okay... so you won the S class, that's awesome!" We all joke and laugh until the finals for A is called. I take Yang to the stadium with Snuffles as everyone follows. Jaune makes a few puns about me being a pony, but a growl shut him up. I find my growls scare the shit out of people as the echo where they shouldn't. We take a seat near the front, easy when everyone wants to avoid the giant wolf with a previous contestant on its back.
The first match is between Pyrrha and Ruby.
On the start, Ruby sends herself hurtling with her scythe towards Pyrrha, spinning the curved weapon to get more momentum and slams it into her shield, staggering each other. Ruby recovers first and launches back into the fight, doing fast spins and quick swings as she fires at Pyrrha, keeping the amazon on the defensive.
Ruby fights far more aggressive than I have ever seen. She backs Pyrrha in a corner as she continues the endless attack. Pyrrha seems equally shocked at the fifteen year old and is unready for the sheer viciousness that the red-haired girl is putting down. Petals waving around as she increase her speed to levels I find hard to track.
Suddenly, she gives a heavy swing from above Pyrrha. When did she go up into the air? Knocking the other red-head out of bounds. We all immediately clap for our friends fight. Ruby makes sure Pyrrha is okay before skipping to the winner's booth.
The next fight is with Blake and Bear. Blake skips around the club like Ren does, but suddenly she throws out her mini scythe and grabs the ribbon as it imbeds into the ground. Taking the ribbon, she weaves around the legs of the giant man and soon have them tied up. This takes thirty seconds.
The man tries to take a step, but the ribbon which is harder than steel, but still flexible, holds tight and he trips. Before anyone could blink, Blake is in front of him with her sword in front of his eye. The big man surrenders, seeing he is beat. Wow... That was a simply way to finish the fight.
That leaves the two girls to be the last fighters! This is going to be quite a battle!
After a minutes rest, the two go onto the rubble filled stage and wait for the signal. When the all clear sounds, they bolt at each other at speeds I can barely keep up with. The field is soon covered in reed petals as Ruby zips around to get hits in on Blake. Blake, always the ninja, can kind of follow the speedy little teen.
As Ruby comes in from the right, Blake flips over the blade, leaving her ribbon behind to try to clothe line Ruby. Seeing this, Ruby let herself fall into a roll to go under the ribbon before it wraps around her. Using her sniper, she launches herself in the air, spinning like a deadly top, before descending for a powerful overhead swing.
Blake moves out of the way just as the swing lands. The scythe is not stopped by the stone as it rips a large gash in the floor as Ruby somehow maneuvers herself back onto her feet. Blake took the opening to whip her blade towards the smaller girl and try to trip her up.
Ruby swings her scythe just right and makes Blake's sword fly out of the arena, imbedding in the ground. Before Blake could pull it back in, Ruby flying tackles her. Not the most expected thing to do... well ever, but she did it and they slide across the ground with Ruby on top, with her scythe at the ready.
Blake just falls back to the ground and raises her arm to acknowledge defeat from our leader. Ruby jumps off of Blake and hops up in down in place with excitement that she just won. The announcer comes onto the stage as Blake leaves, "Incredible! We haven't seen battles like that in years! Well done Ruby Rose! Any word for our audience? Special people to thank?"
"Umm... My team RWBY at the academy and my uncle who taught me all I know... Uhh...I think that's it!"
The announcer hands her the suitcase he had in his hands, "Well here is your prize, 75,000 lien!" She takes it and zips over to us jumps up over the wall to hug Yang.
"Come on! Let's go see what they have around here! Maybe see how Sun is doing!" Oh yeah, Sun is here. Forgot about monkey boy. Sniffing for a second, I catch his scent and give a bark, which is rather loud thanks to my size.
Using my nose, I gesture that I can track him down. "I think Sirius says he can find him." Nodding, I confirm that it is what I meant. Ruby is excited to see Sun and we all leave to find him. I spot him swinging off a street lamp as he eats a corndog.
"Sun! Down here!" Ruby calls. The monkey boy looks down and spots us. Doing an impressive backflip, he lands just in front of my nose. Almost touching it. Giving a warning growl, the monkey teen backpedals when he notices me.
Throwing his corndog at me, he hides behind Ruby. I catch the treat and eat around the stick to Yangs amusement. "That's a big dog!" Blake is giggling at the reaction and the sisters are openly laughing at the monkey Faunus. "Why do you have a Wolf pony?!"
I shift for a second, catching Yang in a piggyback. "Hey Sun." My greeting done, I shift back into Snuffles and Yang gets comfortable on my back once more. Huffing at the annoyance at having to move.
Sun is left with a slack jaw. I can only snicker like a dog can while I watch him to and process it. The man tries to respond, but drops it and joins us as we walk the festival.
We spend the rest of the day until late at night around the festival, playing little games and trying new food. All around a very fun experience.
We catch the last ride back to the Beacon and head to bed, I am still acting as Yang's pony. She fixed herself up a few hours in, but she found riding on my back fun, so I'm stuck as her escort the entire time. It's alright because we didn't really go anywhere the rest of the team didn't.
The next day of class, my back is sore from carrying around Yang all day. Did not think that one through all the way. I wake up early and go outside to do a little work out to loosen the muscles before class. Just a little gymnastics and stretches. Nothing is worse than having stiff muscles or a sore back, than having it and having to sit in a wooden seat for three hours. Learned that in Hogwarts, when I began to exercise.
"How are you finding Beacon mister Black?" I was midway through a front flip, so the sudden voice throw me off and I slam my back into the unforgiving ground. Not the best thing I could do for my back at the moment. Lying on the ground, I look up to see Ozpin sipping on some coffee, looking down at me with Goodwitch next to him, reading over something on a clipboard.
Thinking over what I heard before I fell, I reply, "Fun sir. My last school was not near this interesting! More dangerous though, so less exciting here."
"We do take pride our security in this school. I heard you are champion of the tournament, good job. I am worried about something however."
"In the transcripts here, it says you were shot through the head Mr. Black. Would you explain to us how you survived what will kill any being?" Goodwitch picked up where the man left off.
"Short answer is I think I didn't. Not sure, but everything cut out for a second, so I think I died. I came back somehow, don't ask me I don't know. All I know is I have this little tattoo on my face as a trophy for coming back after a bullet to the brain." I spin around to face them and sit cross legged as they interrogate me.
"Are you sure you can spread no light on this matter?" I nod. "Okay, well, onto the reason we are here, other than to congratulate you. You have proven yourself capable in action, so we have a job for you. A small town on the edge of Vale is having a minor grimm problem. They seem to have a pack of Beowolves attacking them at night. We estimate their numbers in the fifties. They are in danger and need quick relief. We do not have any ready A class teams right now. Are you willing to go take care of this little problem solo? The job will be worth three credits and whatever money the town pays for the job, minus a fee for us."
"Sure. When do I leave? Also, do you have a map and a picture of the town I could have?"
"Excellent, come with us to fill out the paper work and you may leave anytime in the three days. The dead line for the job is a month." I hop to my feet and follow after them. We end up in the building which houses the mission board. It gives out missions for people to do for credit. We need ten to advance a year, plus passing grades in the class. I have six credits already from doing jobs with the gang. Simple search and destroy in the Emerald forest and gathering more sap for the nurses. Nothing too hard, but the risk it has is great for advancing in credits.
I sign a few papers, waivers saying that the school is not responsible for anything I do or if I get hurt. The standard legal stuff. Ozpin hands me a file. Opening it, I see it is info on the town, where it is, population, names of important people, the works. A map of the country with the position marked and an image of the town hall.
"Okay, I'll be done with this in at most Saturday." Five days from now. "I'll leave later today after telling my team on where I am going." Goodwitch rolls her eyes, thinking I am gloating. I would be if not for teleportation. I am giving the five days, so I can hunt the creatures down back to their nest.
Strolling over to the breakfast hall, I sit at our usual spot, soon joined by Velvet. "So, how did you like the festival?" I ask the shy girl.
"It was fun! I watched the tournaments. I didn't see you in it though, did you not join?"
"S class. We didn't have a very long tournament. There wasn't too many of us. You see all those games they had?"
"Yeah, I won this big stuffed elephant at one of them! The bottle throwing one!" I know of it and that booth was rigged. There was a rod that kept the bottles from falling. "They tried to cheat, but I just threw a little harder and broke the bottles." That works.
"Nice! I was tempted to try it, but I was the mount of Yang after she got hurt, so we went to check out the petting zoo instead. Those dogs in there HATED me."
"I bet they did. You do give off a strange scent for a dog. It smells... Very menacing," The bunny girl tells me, wrinkling her nose. Yes! Even my scent is bad ass!
By this time the rest of the gang has joined us and are laughing at me. "Hey, I am a menacing person," More laughter, "Fuck you guys. I know what I am." Once they start calming themselves, I remember why I'm here. "Oh, I need to tell you all something, so calm down."
After a few more seconds of laughing, they finally stop. "Ozpin gave me a job to go to..." Checking the file, "Crasber to clear out a grimm nest. I'll be gone for at most, three days. Teleporting mercenary, terrifying combo. The town is some place up north."
"Never heard of that place," Ruby says as she tries to peek at my file.
"I have... They are really racist there towards Faunus. They really hate them," Blake tells us. Okay, I good thing I got that little tidbit before I left.
"Okay then, I guess I'll go as a human." I will my ears and tail in and I'm all set. The balance, sense of loss and hearing reduction is annoying, but I can manage with it for a time. Hearing a squeak next to me, I see Velvet staring out where my ears use to be, so was most of JNPR. Nora was still somewhere deep in lala land that she spends her downtime at.
"Y-you're human?! I thought you were a Fuanus!" Jaune cries. Velvet fully agreeing with him.
"I didn't show you?" They shook their heads. "Oh, well... I got these parts from my aura and I have full control when they appear and disappear. I hate keeping them in because I have this constant feeling like something is wrong with my body, but it'll be useful for the town."
Jaune tries to think, I wonder what about, and speaks his mind, "So, you're not human? I'm really confused." He is apparently confused.
"Well, I wasn't a human when I came here anyways, but I think I became a smaller part with the whole aura thing. Don't ask, I really don't know. Anyways, I'll be seeing you all later!" I was about to pop away, but Yang grabs my arm.
Looking over, I am quick enough to register she was getting closer before her lips crash against mine. Not really knowing how to respond well, I just kiss back until she breaks. Sporting a large blush that would put Ginny to shame, she backs away.
Looking at the group, they all have wide eyes. "Well then. That was something. Guess I have something to look forward to on my return! Bye guys!" Apperating to the village using the location and the picture, the first thing I notice is it is COLD! Snow is coating everything. I did not come prepared for that. Should have.
The second thing I notice is that there is barely anyone outside and the ones that are out are armed with old fashion dust rifles, looking angry about something. Must be there to beat up the grimms. They all turn to the sound of me and stare at me. Ignoring the looks, I quickly walk down the street and into the clearly marked town hall to talk with the mayor.
Inside, I see a plain room with only a receptionist behind a desk messing with some papers. "Excuse me miss, where is the mayor?" She points to a door without looking up. "Thank you." Knocking on the door, I hear someone say I can enter.
Inside, I see another plain room with a desk and an old man behind it that is doing work on a computer. When I was about to speak, something painfully pulsed inside me. It feels like aura and anger. Confused, I push it off and greet the man. "Hello, I'm the hunter from Beacon. Here for that Beowolf problem."
The man looks surprised for some reason, "A little young to be a hunter kid. Run back to your mother and don't interfere in the work of men. Now, leave, so I can greet the real hunters." Wow. Just wow. If I didn't have a job to do, I would have left them all to die for that. Well... I would have left him to die, the village needn't be harmed because of the old man.
"Please do not insult me anymore than you have. I have the documents for the job, just tell me where the pack is and I'll take care of it."
"If you really are the hunter team we sent for, then the pack is to the north by the mountains. That is all we know so far. The villagers that went to take care of our animal problem didn't come back. If you kill the children as well as the adults, I will give you a bonus. Do not skip out on this or I will report you as a Freud if you don't do the job." Why is he threatening me. And killing pups?! No! Just No!
Holding in my scowl, I leave the office. The town is a bit more lively as I walk through it. Some of the people shout out their doors, "Kill those abominations for us!" "Make sure they never bother anyone with their filth again!".
Shaking my head at the violent villagers, I leave it to them being upset about being attacked. Finding which way north is, I begin to track my way through the shin high snow. Hours pass and I have only gotten to the half way mark to the mountain, so I set camp and fall asleep.
The next morning, I continue my trek to the mountain and get their by high noon. Seeing some human tracks in the snow, I begin to follow them. They must be the villagers that tried to take matters into their own hands. The fire from my cigarette is the only warmth for my face, so I am hopeful I finish this fast and can leave.
Shivering from the cold, I come to a cave that has a lot of human foot traffic outside it. Recent too by judging how much fresh snow is on the prints. While heading to the cave, I trip over something under the snow. Face planting into the cold solid water, I quickly get up and cast a heating charm on my face. Man I'm cold. Picking up my cancer stick, I shove the snow out of the way to see what tripped me.
If it's a villager, I can give them the location to have some people come down and pick up their dead. No need to leave them for the wild any longer then they have to be. What I uncover is the frozen body of a grimm. Well preserved, so I can only guess that it's been dead for a few days, a week at most. The job was given the night of the festival, so this must be a kill the villagers made.
Following the foot prints, so I don't trip again, I enter the cave which is so much warmer than outside. I should have wondered why, but I'm just thankful for the heat. Wish I was like Yang and have a semblance of fire. She could walk through this in her tight, revealing clothing and it would not matter to her one bit. All my aura is doing to help is scream at me for doing something it doesn't like, hurting me every once in a while.
Tripping over some stray rocks in the cave, I tumble-down a slope and land on my back. "Smooth move Black. Can't even walk right. Grimms must be awake now. Maybe the grimms could sleep through it, like the cold. Their fur is thick enough... Dammit, Snuffles would have been perfect here!" Groaning, I sit up to see the damage my clumsy feet have caused. What I see surprises me.
In front of me is not a bunch of bloodthirsty Beowolves, but a large frightened Faunus gang that looks to be in need of a good meal and bath. They all have crude stone weapons pointed at me. "Whoa! I come in peace, please don't stab me!" I see behind the gang of Faunus are children and their mothers cowering in the corner. With a quick count, I see forty of them.
"Kill the children as well as the adults." The mayor's voice echoes through my head at the sight of the scared people. "They are really racist there towards Faunus." Blake's words join the mayor's.
"Please god tell me that you cleared out the pack of fifty Beowolves that were in the area!" I beg the people in front of me.
One of them shakes their head. "We got here a month ago. There have been no grimms but the occasional Beowolf."
I climb to my feet and in anger, slam my fist into the wall next to me. "Fuck!" Ignoring the wall crumbling under the hit. I rant out loud to myself, "I got contracted to kill Faunus children, what the hell man?!" Turning my attention back to the now renewed frightened Faunus, "Have the villagers been attacking you?" I ask them. Hoping with everything in my being that they say no.
The same man tells me, "They have. Tried to kill our kids when they couldn't take us in a fair fight. We killed them and feed them to the animals outside." That crushes any hope that this is just a cruel misunderstanding. As my rage builds at the town, I feel something break in my head. A gasp goes up from the band of people and I feel why. My tails and ears just got shot out of my body. Trying to get them to go back, I find it hurts, so I stop before I damage myself.
"What do I do now? If I tell him this, he will just keep trying! I can't go through with the job, so that's out. If I could fake this, that would wo-... Moron!" I snarl at myself. With a flick of the wrist and a command, "Go out and rip each other apart." I conjure up fifty some fake Beowolves and animate them to go out and kill each other. The magic demand almost sends me to my knees.
The sound of combat echoes the caves as I turn back to the Faunus band. "Look. I don't care what you do, but I suggest you leaving these caves. The village nearby REALLY hates Faunus apparently as my presences as a hitman is evidence of. I'll go tell them the job is done and he'll probably wait a bit before coming to check things out. The south is pretty nice and while racist, they aren't murderous towards Faunus."
These as my parting words, not waiting for them to reply, I walk out of the cave and take a picture of the carnage the grimms left before apperating to the town hall. Kicking in the office door, I snarl at the scared mayor, still pissed, "Job's done. You sicken me you bastard and I drink blood for a living."
Tossing the documents on the table, the frightened man signs it while smirking at the picture I have next to it on my school scroll. Taking the scroll and paper, I step over the demolished door and walk out of the town hall before popping as far as I can away which is not that far due to being tired. That conjuring job took a lot out of me, more than anything I could have done without aura and survive.
Settling under a nice tree with warming charms that I fueled with the rest of my magic, I fall asleep. Only to find myself in my mindscape with the sound of battle echoing in the mists where I found Snuffles, or he found me. Running over, I see a battle between the giant wolf and a vampire.
The battle is in the vampire's favor as he starts using the hellfire energy and having it lash out to cover any openings.
"OI! What is this?!" The vampire turns to the sound of my voice. It is me, but without the animal features.
The vampire speaks, his voice strained and filled with madness, "Ah, Master has returned to us mutt. Now the fun can truly begin!"
"What are you?!"
"I'm you fool. Seems the aura made the vampire infection more powerful, made ME more powerful! With this... Hellfire as you call it, I will claim what is rightly mine! Your soul and magic!" The vampire shouts as he lunges after me, pushing a blast of fire at me.
Twirling out of the way, I seemingly dodge it, but the fire is so powerful that it creates a vacuum and sucks me in before I can get away. Taking my leg with it. The leg turns straight to ask, not enough to even quickly burn. Healthy limb one second and in a blink of the eye, ash. Couldn't even feel the pain for a few seconds.
The wolf bites off the vampire's hand as he is distracted with me. The hand immediately regrows and he backhands the wolf onto me as it goes for another hit. It crawls off me and limps in front of me. Using his flank to get to my feet, I ask, "Any ideas Snuffles? I got nothing."
The wolf headbutts me and sends an image into my head which is more weird because I apparently have my own mind space in here for myself. The image is myself without the tattoo with my fingernails more claw-like and hair more messy. The teeth are sharper than my own right now. The image's eyes are multicolored. One eye is crimson red of my own and the other is my mother's green eyes.
"This permanent Snuffles, or can I sort of control it like before?" The wolf shakes her head. "So we merge? Go for it." Once the vampire heard merge, it screams and charges to kill the both of us, but he doesn't get there fast enough before the wolf bites me.
My vision blacks out, but the audio doesn't. I hear the sound of battle. Snuffles is howling like mad and the vampire is snarling before the vampire lets loose a scream as it sounds like he is being ripped apart. When I come back, I see that only a bitten skeleton is left and I am coated in blood, including my mouth. I feel no more powerful, but there is a new energy is rushing through me. Summoning it like magic, the slow syrup like energy makes its way up my arm and into my hand. I find a ball of hellfire when it comes out of my body. Will be needing to train that speed.
Cutting the flow, I push myself to wake up. Coming to, I see the area around me burnt, but my body and stuff are fine. Shaking it off, I try to summon the fire again. It lights up my hand and testing it, I throw the fire like a ball. It acts like a ball and leaves my hand, but I immediately regret it as it sucks out a good bit of my aura.
Last resort, I get it. Punching people with it or coating my blade in it will probably do. Going over to a nearby lake, I see it is crystal clear, so I check my features and find it the same as the image Snuffles gave me. Using my control over hair, I easily change it back to the way I like it. Speaking of Snuffles, I shift into him and back. Didn't lose that form, so I am fine with the change.
I still have a thirst for blood, so still a vampire. Must have absorbed him when I ate him. After bathing in the river, I begin on the report that I will have to turn in with my job papers. I write in what I did and the reason why in a straight forward manner, with no means of misinterpreting. Doting my name, I fold the paper and put it in an envelope.
Getting to my feet, I gather everything and make sure everything is in place before I apperate. I jerk to the left right as I enter the straw like feeling. That can't be good.
I come out of the apperation above a stone hall full of people. Yep, not good at all.
(Cutting point. Okay, the first cliffhanger was a joke and in good fun, this is truly a dick move and I am sorry for that, but it is a good place to stop this chapter. Guess where Sirius is anyone? I know hard isn't it! *It isn't*. So, added some Yang romance in there for Sirius to come back to. No worries, Sirius will get back eventually. A vampire/Faunus hybrid with the power of aura vs - will take no time to beat up.
Review and follow. Whatever you want to do! SmilingJester is out for the day!)
