Wiess and Blake awoke in a dirty and dusty alleyway with a bug scurrying off as the duo pulled themselves off the bricks. "Ugghhh... Blake whe-?" Wiess asked as her hand fell into a puddle of something as the smell of something wafted into both of their noses. Wiess and Blake turned their head down deeper into the alley to see the corpse of a man mangled beyond recognition as his face and arms had been torn off and over him was a man in noble like attire munching on the disembodied arm. The deranged cannibal turned his head back over to Wiess and Blake. The cannibal noble then smiled as maggots and gore fell from his rotting mouth.
Wiess and Blake quickly stood up and reached for their weapon but felt nothing. The cannibal noble then pulled a sword out of the corpse and laughed as he said, "Hahaha, 2 young beauties to dine apon, how LUCKY!" The cannibal stepped forward with incredible speed that of only seasoned hunters and slashed at Wiess cutting into her arm.
Wiess screamed in pain as she had lifted her arm to block the blow and was using her aura that was not there. "R-Run Wiess!" Blake yelled as she grabbed Wiess's good arm and pulled her away from the ally and into the streets. As Wiess and Blake ran out they saw many people wielding all sorts of common items that could be used as weapons like pitchforks, butcher cleavers and torches as the mobs of people looked to the 2 and all had that same crazed look as 1 of them started running at the with a large cleaver in hand.
"Catch them! Their blood is the sweetest I have ever tasted!" The cannibal noble screamed as the mob chased Wiess and Blake.
A gunshot rang out, and Blake fell as a bullet tore apart the side of her leg. Blake hit the ground hard and Wiess stopped in her trackes. Wiess wrapped her good arm around Blake to try to get her on her feet and out of this horrible place.
As they shamble, the mob got closer and closer to their prey. The rambling of boots and cackles filled the air with a new sound, the sound of wood clattering on stone.
A cart had ran up in front of Wiess and Blake making them fall back. Inside the cart was a man in a strange uniform like clothing with a top hat and cane in his hands with 2 large devices that looked like huge air blower used on furnaces. "My oh my, are you 2 little ladies hurt by the Vilebloods there?" The man asked as he had 1 hand on his cane and another pinching his hat. "Grrhhh! My people, kill that hunter!" The noble Vileblood yelled as the crazed villagers ran. The top hat hunter pulled up his cane and pointed it to the crowd and then said, "wanna see a magic trick? Now you see them." The devices fired hundreds of bullets in bursts shredding apart most of the villagers and heavily injured the rest. "Now you don't hahaha" the top hat hunter laughed as he grabbed the bottom of his cane and let the head fall towards Wiess and Blake "would you like a hand up on our carriage ladies?" Wiess blushed as she may have been treated like a princess but not in such strange circumstances. Wiess snapped out of it and helped Blake into the cart with the top hat hunter and jumped on as well.
"Martin, we will have a change of plans. Please head to Central Yharnam so we may get these ladies to a safe spot." The top hat hunter asked. The coach driver who wore a hood and tall collar nodded then said, "Of course, next stop Central Yharnam, Iosefka's Clinic."
"T-thanks for the save", Blake Said as she held onto her bleeding wound. "Ah yes sorry about how rough I was to those people. My name is Pearson and I am a Powder Keg Hunter, and this is my friend Martin who is a Saw Hunter. Martin go say hi to the ladies." Pearson said as Martin just gave a nod and a simple mundane hello. "Isn't Martin great?" Pearson asked with a smile as he looked down to Wiess and Blake who were not healing from their wounds. Pearson kneeled down and stared deep at their wounds still bleeding slightly. "I uhhh.... may I test... something and this may be strange but... may I taste your blood?" Pearson asked staring deep at the blood. Wiess got in the way as Pearson had stuck his hand out to Blake's leg. "Y-you may have my blood but first you must answer my questions", Wiess demanded as she stepped between Pearson and Blake. Pearson eyes aimed to Wiess with an unusual look almost like the cannibals that attacked the duo. Pearson shaked off his look and smiled again then asked, "Of course, what questions do you have for such a hunter like I?"
"Alright! What the Grimm is going on? There are cannibals, our auras and sembalances aren't working and why does everyone want blood?!" Wiess yelled. "... must be from the outside and fell into Yharnam like the uh..." Martin then started snapping as he was remembering what they were called "... ah yes the White Fang." "Oh yeah! Guess we will have to explain it from the beginningish... OK ladies listen close. So long ago some people found healing blood, this blood could heal any injury", Pearson said as he pulled out a vial of deep red blood. Pearson put it away then thought of what to say next, "well there are many types, the ones most people are infected with is called Ashen Blood, then there is Old Blood, Kin Blood, Vile Blood which is what those Cannibal Nobles say they are infected with but in reality it is Ashen Blood like us. Last and most rare is Pale Blood, which is the most unknown. For your auras and sembalances, it may be that this city suppresses both of those. Last, everyone wants blood because as I have said, it heals us and unfortunately can be quite addictive."
Wiess listened close and thought of what to do now. "A-alright... you can have some of my blood Pearson." Pearson smiled as that same look the cannibals had as he gets closer and said, "worry not, I will try not to hurt you."
