Marked for Death

Chapter 7: Invading Thoughts

Hey again. Sorry that I didn't say anything in the last chapter but that was a flashback of who I used to be. Anyways, back to where I was in chapter 5. Enjoy!

"So, this is Blis and Frost? What did I miss?" I asked with a sigh. "Well I thought I might use the humanity dust on my revolver to see what happens since it has two sides. So behold my new daughters, but now I'm thinking of changing their names." Jackson said as he looked at both Blis and Frost.. "Okay, well we need to tell Ozpin about them. Not only for them but for the others..... Also what are you going to change their names to?" I asked Jackson with a hint of control. "Girls, can you come here for a second." Jackson asked Frost and Blis, so they walked over and he smiled at them. "Yea daddy/papa, what is it?" Blis and Frost both asked him as he smiled brightly. "We are going to change your names. Now Blis my little flame, since you're based off of the fire side, your new name shall be..... Auburn, is that okay with you?" he asked Blis as she nodded rapidly. "Frost my beautiful snowflake, since your based off of the ice side, your new name shall be..... Crystal, is that okay with you?" Jackson asked Frost as she ran up to him and tackled him. "I love it, thank you daddy! Thank you so much!" She yelled as she hugged him before letting him go and getting up. She then walks over to her sister, and to say she was also excited, for she was jumping up and down. "Hey, who are these two?" I hear come from the other side of the room. When everyone looks over we all see V and Celeste. "They're my new daughters so that makes them your girls nieces" Jackson said as he sits at his desk pulling out a blueprint for a new weapon that has a gun/guitar/axe mode each in one weapon.

Later that night while I laid in my bed, I started getting thoughts that wouldn't leave me. I ignored them and finally fell asleep. The next morning, me and Jackson had to go out on separate missions. "Well, let's get this done then." I told Jackson, grabbing my chained scythe, holstering my revolver, and placing my daggers into my boots. "Think you can drop me off at my mission location?" I asked Jackson, walking outside. "Yeah. How far is it?" Jackson asked, stretching his wings. "It's a few days away near Vacuo. Think you can make it there?" I asked as he picked me up as his kids showed up. I just grab my daggers and start sharpening them.

( I still don't understand why you went to Vacuo. It was a mission Jackson. Professor wants me to check up on the faunus near there. So with Mr. Belladonna then? Yes Jackson. And I need to get my own information from him. Back to the story then? Yeah...)

After a few hours of Jackson and his daughters fighting, I decided to just walk to Menagerie to check up on Mr. Belladonna. Always leaving me on my own Jackson I thought to myself as I threw my knife and teleported up into the air and just kept throwing my knife, continuously teleporting towards Menagerie. 'S̵̙͕̀̃ẹ̿͋̒̕ẹ̿͋̒̕ḿ̬̏ͤͅs̠҉͍͊ͅ l̙͖̑̾ͣỉ͔͖̜͌ḳ̯͍̑ͦẹ̿͋̒̕ y҉̃̀̋̑o̯̱̊͊͢ư̡͕̭̇'r̴̨̦͕̝ẹ̿͋̒̕ ḑ̴̞͛̒o̯̱̊͊͢ỉ͔͖̜͌ṇ̤͛̒̍ĝ̽̓̀͑ y҉̃̀̋̑o̯̱̊͊͢ư̡͕̭̇r̴̨̦͕̝ o̯̱̊͊͢w̦̺̐̐͟ṇ̤͛̒̍ t̲̂̓ͩ̑ḣ̖̻͛̓ỉ͔͖̜͌ṇ̤͛̒̍ĝ̽̓̀͑ ā̤̓̍͘t̲̂̓ͩ̑ t̲̂̓ͩ̑ḣ̖̻͛̓ỉ͔͖̜͌s̠҉͍͊ͅ p̞̈͑̚͞o̯̱̊͊͢ỉ͔͖̜͌ṇ̤͛̒̍t̲̂̓ͩ̑ R͉̜̎͡͠ư̡͕̭̇ṇ̤͛̒̍ẹ̿͋̒̕' The armor started saying in my head. 'I get it cursed armor. But I can't afford to wait on him. This is a mission that needs to be done' I replied, spinning my other knife. I could tell I was close when I started smelling other faunus. When I actually arrived at Menagerie, I hid my weapons and went asking around for Ghira Belladonna. Another wolf faunus pointed me in the direction of his house and I thanked them and started towards what looked like a wooden house.

I knocked on the door and the door opened, revealing a man with black hair. "Can I help you?" He asked me. "I'm looking for Ghira Belladonna. Does he live here?" I asked with respect. "That's me. What do you need?" He asked, now suspicious. "Professor Ozpin sent me to check up on you and I've got some questions of my own." I replied, putting my hands behind my back. "Ah the old man finally sends someone to help with the white fang problem." Ghira said, opening the door so I can enter. "I am here for that but I got some questions first about some black furred wolf-faunus's." I replied as he shut the door. "What about them? Why are you looking for those two?" He asked, sitting in a chair. I just pulled out a necklace with a symbol of my family's crest. "This is why I'm looking for them, Mr. Belladonna." I simply said, setting the necklace down. "Ah, you're their son. I'm sorry to tell you this but they are no longer with us. They moved to a nearby village with all hope that your sister and you would be there." Ghira said, looking down slightly. "Well, is there anything you can tell me about them?" I asked as I started to get anxious. "They were one of a kind. They were the kind of people who would protect what they cared for till the very end. They were very happy to have you in their lives." He said while looking up at me. "Well, I know they're still alive since one of my blades accidentally caught a note from them......and it was addressed to you, Mr. Belladonna." I replied, setting the note down in front of him. "Me, well then let me read what it says then." He said as he picked the note up and opened it. "Ghira, if our son or daughter seeks you out, please contact us so we can return immediately. -Edward and Olivia Blackthorn" The note read, Ghira set the note down and sighed. "Well, it looks like I have a letter to send. Where are you currently staying at kid?" He asked, getting up. "Mr. Belladonna, please call me Rune and I'm currently staying at Beacon along with my sister and two others." I replied, setting my scythe up against the wall next to the door. "Who are the others, also thanks for telling me?" He asked politely. "The other two are Jackson Thornscale and Verspera Thornscale sir. But, why do you want to know?" I asked, curious about his intentions. "No reason, 'So his children are also alive. I need to tell him'." He said and thought to himself. "Ok. Well, have you had any white fang problems within the past week?" I asked, now brandishing my revolver. "Not really but we have smelled smoke nearby. Think you could check it out for me?" Ghira asked. "Sure thing. How far?" I asked, placing my scythe onto my back. "About two miles in that direction." He said, pointing in the direction he thought they were.
