the forbidden hunter, second case

chapter 12: the strike of a fang

Cas was walking around the Belladonna house, he was not happy that no one was offering help.

As he walked to a balcony to see Blake quickly hiding something in her jacket.

Hey Blake, just looking to see how you're feeling after the failed attempt, Cas asked.

I'm fine, Blake said,

Really, what about this! Cas shouted as he used his Geist ability to snag the item and get up on the roof to read it.

"Things going too far, not sure what to do. Find a quiet spot, I'll find you. Come alone. Please. I". Hmm, I for Ilia, i seen these before, they trick you into coming alone so they can easily shut you up, Cas said.

Just then Sun opened the door to the balcony.

We go on recruiting or what? We got the entire nocturnal section to hit up, Sun said.

He didn't notice Cas on top, but he could notice Blake was not right.

You okay? He asked.

Yeah, I'll meet you there, I need to take care of something first, Blake said.

As she left, Cas used his Geist ability to dash into the building to look like he was walking normally.

As he walked over, Blake talked to him.

Cas, i want you in on this, i'm trusting your theory, i need your friends to help protect my parents, Blake said.

No need to ask, Cas said, cracking his knuckles.

He then ran to his friends to tell them about the situation, and they agreed to follow along with the plan, but catie decided to join in to help with Blake's talk.

He then followed Blake in his Geist form to be undetected, while Sun and Catie were up above.

Ilia? Blake said.

I'm here, Ilia said walking over with her hands up.

She then uncloaked herself to reveal her original looks.

Ilia, I know you're scared, but you don't have to be. My family and friends, we can keep you safe, Blake said.

I'm sorry, Ilia said.

You can make it up to me by helping us stop Corsac and Fennec, Blake said.

No, I'm sorry, Ilia said again as one of her hands clenched.

Just then a Faunus with bat wings knocked Blake down.

Blake was in shock as she was jumped.

Cas watched as two more members joined in.

As Blake got up, the girl in the group shot a web at her, tying her up.

Well done sister Trifa and to you wilia, the faunus with bat said till he toss Ilia her weapon.

Ilia, what are you doing? Blake said.

I tried to warn you Blake, I'm sorry, Ilia said.

Don't tell me you're sorry, Blake said.

But I am, I am sorry it has to be this way, but you and your family and your friends are holding the Faunus back, Ilia said.

Because we're trying to protect people, in what world do you live in we're attacking the innocent is the right thing to do? Blake said.

The same one as you, there's no such thing as innocent, there's no right thing to do, only what's best for us, there's the humans that still hate the faunus and there's the others who stand by and let the hate happen! Ilia said in anger.
