Silver Belladonna (Jaune Arc x oc)

2 - "Incident! People are dead!"

Once the ship docks we make our way off stepping onto the sand that encases Menagerie.

"I've never seen so many Faunus in one place!" Sunny comments looking around at all the Faunas wearing summer clothes

"This is the one place everyone can feel safe, no matter who or what they are." Blake replies
"crowded, isn't it?" He continues looking around
"Yes it is" I nod "when you try to put an entire species on an island that is mainly desert it will be cramped"
"You guys have more space? Why waste it? A little desert never hurt anyone!" He exclaims
"It's not like the desert in Vacuo, Sun. The wildlife here is more dangerous" Blake explains
"So, they give us a terrible island, in the corner of Remnant, to try and shut us up." He summaries
"Pretty much" i pat him on the back
"Jerks." He mutters

We walk up the lane in silence, me watching Sunny take in the surroundings.
We get to the main housing area Kuo Kuana.
"Wow, it's beautiful" Sunny looks around
"This, is Kuo Kuana." Blake tells him
"I take it all back. This place looks great! Why would anyone ever want to leave?" Sunny states happily
"That's not the point, Sun! We asked to be equal, to be treated just like everyone else! Instead, we were given an island and told to make do. So we did the best we could. We came together and we made a home where any Faunus could feel welcome. But this island, this town, will always be a reminder that we're still not equal. That we're still second-class citizens." Blake sighs sadly

"Well this guy's feeling pretty at home." He places his hand on Blake's shoulder
"Come on, time to go home" i beckon them to follow but Sunny stops me wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"Oh yeah? Which one's yours? Can you see it from here? Is it that one?" He keeps pointing at different houses "What about that tiny one down there? I like the paintjob."
Blake takes his hand and points it towards the largest house directly in front of us
"It's... that one." Sunny, taken by surprise, points between us and the house before squealing.

"Come on" I gesture them to follow, I can see Blake's hesitance so I take her hand "it'll be fine"
We head up to the large door and Blake goes to knock but she freezes
"Are you okay?" Sunny asks confused
"I haven't spoken to my parents for a while, I never spoke to them about the White Fang, about what really happened." She lowers her head
"It'll be fine they won't think any less of you, I don't" Blake takes a deep breathe before knocking
"If we're being honest, that's a little intimidating" Sunny comments and I roll my eyes at him.

The door opens slightly to reveal our mother
"Blake, Silver"
"Hi mum" Mum steps forward embracing us both
"Kali who was at the doo-" he pauses "Blake, Silver" he quickly joins the embrace.

"Come, come" mum beckons us to follow her into the living room for a cup of tea.

When Sunny is distracted, mum finally asks about him.
"So who is he?" She questions
"Blake's future boyfriend" I snort but Blake clamps her hand over my mouth
"He's a friend" mum nods but turns to me
"Future boyfriend?"
"Mum!" Blake whines
"Oh yeah, for sure" I grin

"I was so worried about the two of you when we heard what happened at Beacon"
"Oh please I knew they'd be fine"
"That isn't at all true, you should have seen your father pacing" mum divulges
"You guys have nothing to worry about. I've seen your daughters in action before! And trust me, they've got some moves!" Blake almost chokes on her tea as I place my head in my hands.
"And what exactly do you mean by that, Mr. Wukong?" Dad asks sternly

"I... uh, well, you see sir, it's just that, you know, that there such good fighters and all, uh, and as a fellow fighter, I have a lot of respect for them..." he stutters

Mum leans in towards Blake to ask
"Why is he here again?"

"...And there fighting. But also for her..." Sunny eyes Blake

"He just kind of followed us home." Blake answers mums previous question

"because of her fighting. Not her looks. I mean, not to say she's not good-looking. She is! Both of them are! Very! Or..."
"I see." Mum comments amused
"....slightly, I mean she's- they're definitely above average. I mean, uh... " he pauses seeing our parents faces "This is great tea Mrs Belladonna" he sips his tea
"I like him" I laugh at the annoyed look on my sisters face.

We notice the radio is still on and the people on the news are talking about the two huntresses in training who were killed. My face falls and my head starts going fuzzy.

"Those poor girls" mum mutters "we heard about the girls deaths and we were so worried" I see the bloodied body of Lav in my head.
I get up without saying a word and head to my room.

I turn my scroll back on ,having turned it off when I left Beacon not wanting to be disturbed, to see many calls from Ash, Coral, Weiss and even a few from Jaune and one from Nep. My head falls and I rest it on the top of the scroll not really knowing what to do.

I press onto the team chat and type out two words
'I'm sorry' I then turn my scroll back off laying back on my bed. I close my eyes.

"No Lav!" I scream. I don't remember falling asleep I wonder as I hear voices.
I head down the stairs and into the hall to see two members of the White Fang conversing with my family and Sunny.

".....was at the fall of Beacon, they let Grimm into the city and the school, they hurt so many and...." She pauses
"And they were responsible for the death of Lavender Lowell" they all turn to me
"What do you have to say about this?" Dad faces the two
"This is what we came to talk to you about, it seems the Beacon branch of the White Fang have gone rouge following under the leadership of Adam Taurus and Crimson Amitola." From pure anger I smash my hand on a shelf knocking everything off. Mum turns to me shocked whilst Sunny just looks at me filled with sorrow and pity.
"This wasn't the first time!" Sunny turns to them anger evident in his voice
"The High Council had their suspicions of a splinter group, but they could prove nothing until this latest incident."
"Incident! People are dead!" I scream heading straight for them only to have Sunny grab my arm.
"And it is a tragedy" Corsac calmly states
"Your Grace, we came to assure you that Brother Taurus and his followers do not represent the will of the White Fang." Fennec assured
"And how can I be sure of that?" Dad eyes them
"We understand if you bear any skepticism towards these claims. The White Fang's tactics are admittedly, more aggressive since you stepped down as High Leader and became Chieftain of Menagerie. But this, this is no way to make our message heard." Corsac states
"We have ample documentation from the council meeting, as well as several strategies to apprehend and punish these strays if you care to review them." Fennec comments
"I will, but another day. I'd like some time to reconnect with my daughters"

"We completely understand. It was a pleasure to see you again, young Blake, Silver" I glare at them both "We were saddened when we heard of your departure from the White Fang, but understand if you can no longer support our cause." Corsac watches us both
"It is a wearying fight, after all." Fennec continues
"Who says we're done fighting?"
"Hmm... If you ever do wish to return, you need merely come find us."
"Sister Ilia would be elated." Fennec adds
"Goodbye, gentlemen." Dad shuts the door and mum turns to me looking concerned.

"They were creepy" Sunny points to the door
"I really don't like you" I roll my eyes at dads comment
