"God this is exhausting." Said Andrew as he killed, what must have been, his 30th Grimm. "I know right." Agreed Yang. "Just shut up and kill them already!" Commanded Weiss as Ruby killed the last of the Grimm in their sector. Blake turned to Andrew to see how he was holding up. His blue/black hair was messed up, dripping with sweat. His black jeans were ripped in multiple places and his blue leather jacket was covered in dirt. He looked at Team RWBY and saw that they didn't have a scratch on them. "How come you guys aren't dirty?" Asked Andrew. "It's because we're better at fighting in the real world." Said Weiss. "What Weiss is saying is that we're better than you are." Yang said triumphantly. "I don't think that's what Weiss was trying to say, Yang." Said Blake. "It's fine." Said Andrew. "You guys are better than me." "I was just trying to say it without hurting your feelings." Said Weiss, slightly grumpy. This was the third sector they had cleared today and it wasn't even lunch time. "I think that we should take a break." Suggested Ruby. "I'm tired as well you know." "Fine. We'll take a break." Weiss said, giving in before Ruby could start whining.
They started to walk towards an abandoned building. As they got close, they saw three members of the White Fang walk out of a cave close to the building they were hoping to sleep in. "What are the White Fang doing here?" Asked Blake. "I don't know, but we should let them go, and set up camp in that building over there." Andrew said, pointing to a building opposite the cave that the White Fang had come from. After they had set up an easy to defend camp, they all sat down to rest. As Andrew took his jacket off, Team RWBY saw the White Fang logo cut into the flesh of Andrew's left arm, above his elbow. "What is that!?" Shouted Blake. "It's nothing." Mumbled Andrew. As he went to turn around, Blake jumped at him and pinned him to the floor with the point of her sword at his throat. "What. Is. That?" Blake said with calm anger. "Fine. I'll tell you." Andrew said. "I was trying to infiltrate the White Fang to get information I could pass onto the authorities." Said Andrew. "But they found out that I wasn't a Faunus. So, as a punishment, they did this." Andrew revealed, gesturing to the mark. Blake's eyes narrowed in suspicion. Without a word, Blake killed the fire with a sheet of plasterboard, engulfing the group in darkness. Weiss, Yang and Ruby panicked and Andrew sat still as Blake used her night-vision to look Andrew dead in the eye. After a while, Blake re-lit the fire and sat down saying, "He's not a Faunus. " "How can you tell?" Ruby asked, slightly confused. "I looked him dead in the eye but he didn't look at me." Blake explained. "I told you I wasn't a Faunus." Andrew sighed. "I just like the Faunus is all." Blake's expression softened. "I'm sorry. I just... had to be sure." "It's alright Blake. Andrew said. "I understand." Andrew stuck out his arm and said. "If you look closely, you can see it's slightly different than the original." Team RWBY shuffled closer. "Oh yeah!" Exclaimed Yang. "The claw marks are different angles and the teeth aren't as sharp." "Yep." Andrew said. "Got it in one." "Why didn't they kill you?" Asked Weiss. "Because if they killed a kid, they would get the huntsmen on their backs." Said Blake.
After everyone had calmed down, they went to sleep, with Andrew on first watch. As he was sitting there, Blake came and sat next to him. "I'm sorry about earlier." She said. "It's alright." Andrew said. "You were only protecting your friends." "Thanks for understanding." Blake said. "Good night Blake." Andrew said. As she walked away, Blake fought about telling Andrew she was a Faunus. Simply because he seemed to actually like the Faunus, his only other friends were Sun and Velvet. As she laid down, she made the decision to tell him in the morning. Andrew however already suspected, that she was a Faunus. He had, on several occasions, seen her bow twitch and the fact that she kept to herself made him believe his theory more. Just as he was about to wake Yang for her turn on watch, he saw a big group of White Fang start to leave the cave, carrying boxes of dust and weapons. They were being led by a tall man with red/brown hair wearing a mask, which covered his upper face and eyes. He was wearing a long sleeved black trench coat with red designs, black trousers, shoes and gloves. All he was carrying was a swords in its sheath. Oddly, he was carrying the sheath in his hand instead of it being attached to his belt. Just as Andrew was about to wake everyone else, the man looked him dead in the eye. "Awww crap." Andrew muttered.
