The whole family was gathered at the dinner table, even little Adrian and Juniper who was eating his carrots next to his owner's nephew.
But one thing wasn't right, well at least for Saphron.
All gathered together, without saying anything and eating in the purest peace.
" Nobody will say anything?! " Saphron screamed making everyone stop eating and look at her.
" What animal bit you? It's more scandalous than normal " Vanilla Arc said as she held a spoon close to his mouth.
" What animal bit me? What animal bit you! Why doesn't anyone say anything about Jaune's situation! " Saphron slammed her hands down on the table and pointed at Jaune who had a face that said: Again.
" Daughter, I understand that you are upset with the fact that your brother... Is basically almost identical to your grandfather " Angélica said that already knowing why her "eldest" daughter is here
" He's older than daddy! Mother! This is all because he wants to pursue this bullshit of being a hunter " Saphron was looking directly at her brother who had a face that was saying: Please no.
" Saphron Cotta-Arc! " Angélica called her daughter's name making her shut up.
" Your brother went through a period of time isolated, without contact with humans trapped in another where, his only true friend was her! " Angelica pointed at Juniper.
The entire family looked at Juniper who was wiping Adrian's cheek with a cloth.
" Did you know she could do this " Angelica asked her son who didn't know how to respond.
" No " Jaune said before going back to eating.
Saphron was ever vigilant when it came to Adrian but now she saw her brother's rabbit clean her son's mouth.
Saphron and her sisters never wanted to follow the family legacy only Jaune, Vanille was the daughter who liked to fight in the streets, Selectif was a daughter who had a bright future ahead of her because of her intelligence, Beurre and Bulle they are inseparable will probably be paired in some sport, they are excellent at ping pong, Lara was the daughter who liked adventure and explore thing and she loved pirates. Lili was the youngest daughter.
But Jaune always wanted to be a hunter because of his grandfather, the history of heroes and warriors and about his family's past figures were all passed down to him.
But your parents didn't want their children to become hunters.
" Mom, please, I was never one to question your choices, more because you two didn't want us to be a hunter, but you both accept Jaune have become hunter! " Saphron pointed at her brother who was focused on finishing his meal.
Angélica and Michelangelo looked at each other, an exchange of glances that happened in a few seconds, but a lot has happened in this short space of time.
Angelica sighed and bent down, she fell into the chair.
" The reason we don't want you to become hunters is because of a woman named Raven Branwen " Angelica's voice held a weight of guilt.
Jaune's eyes widened upon hearing this woman, stopping to eat immediately.
" Raven Branwen! Sister of Qrow Branwen? This Raven Branwen? " Jaune was surprised by this, as Yang's bitch mother was involved with why their parents didn't want them to be hunters.
" Yes, she herself, the woman I hate with everything in this life, was responsible for the biggest fatality that happened in our life " Angelica said in a voice, sounding like she wanted to cry.
Michelangelo took his wife's hand to give her strength.
" It all started with a simple one to eliminate Grimms. Then bandits came out of nowhere, they want everything we had of value but me and your dad and our peers had a tough fight that pushed us to the limit. That's when she appeared " Angelica squeezed her husband's hand, the pain was too great for her to bear alone.
The children were focused on listening to what their father had to reveal while their father was silent. Adrian wasn't understanding anything but Juniper was understanding everything.
" When Raven didn't care about how valuable we were, she only cared about one thing, power. She said she wanted to see what we were capable of, it was the hardest fight we've had in our lives. She... She... She "
" She managed to teleport to other places and used it to confuse us, in addition to having other powers, we believe she can steal Semblance, as she managed to control ice, wind, fire and lightning. It was the worst day of our lives, we lost our colleagues, your mother and I are close to dying. At the end of it all, Raven said some words that stuck in my memory and will probably never come out " Michelangelo finished telling what his wife couldn't finish, the pain of remembering his colleagues was branding in their hearts and in their souls.
Jaune's hair hid his eyes, his parents knew what it was like to lose his closest friends, the pain he feels yours felt too.
" What did she say " Bulle he asked with a little fear.
" You two are strong I like that, you have my respect, but the other two are weak and don't deserve to live " Michelangelo was holding back tears too.
The daughters were feeling sorry for their parents, now they understood, not completely but still they understood their parents' pain.
But now, Jaune was something else.
If Jaune turned into a monster, he would walk out the door and hunt Raven, he would kill in the worst possible way.
" That's why you two didn't want us to become hunters so as not to lose us friends " Jaune said.
" No... "
What Michelangelo said took everyone by surprise, that's not what they expected.
" It was why then? " Saphron asked.
" Your mother... She was pregnant the day it happened "
