Chapter 6 - Memories

The first thing that makes me aware that I'm not awake is the fact I'm in a random place and have no clue where I am. oh, and the fact that I'm seeing everything in 3rd person helps. I watch my body wake up, and walk outside its room. I see many faunus, and recognition dawns on me, as memories flow into my mind. turns out this body of mine HAD a former owner or self. I watch as I greet my friends, in the barracks, and I watch as I put on a hard hat and pick up a jackhammer. As it also turns out...this body was a slave. I was given away to the SDC by the Winchesters. It turns out having twins is good unless one is a faunus somehow. still, why am i even seeing this-

"Because you need a reason. you need to know. I show you yourself, so you awaken in part. awaken. wake up Argent, your time has come."

...That's not [Meta]...is that [zwei]?...

"wake up, boy." I feel a splash of frigid water, as I snap awake. staring me in the eyes is a VERY livid-looking Adam Taurus. I try to jump up and away from him, but am held in place. I look down, only to see I am bound by thick ropes.

"...goood morning? is it morning? it feels like morning to me-" "Shut up! who are you? why did you come into our camp?"

I blink and tilt my head a bit, and decide to play to Adam's past. "...that wasn't my intention. I was trying to get away from a human who was taking me somewhere. I-i don't wanna be a slave again so...I ran. I didn't watch where I was going and..." I stop talking as Adam sighs, his shoulders stiff with stress and upset. when did I get so good at discerning emotions from body language? did I level up a skill I had, or something?

"Your name?" Now it's my turn to sigh, as I hang my head. "Argent Winchester Argent. son of council advisor and lord Winchester, and his wife. And as you can see, I'm a faunus to boot."

I hear Adam snickering, shaking his head. "I've heard kids lie better than that. the Winchesters are humans and racist ones at that." I snarl "My mother's mother was a faunus. it skipped her, and went to me." I wince as he puts his hand on my shoulder "Do. not. lie. to. me. do you understand? I have had quite the week already, and I do not appreciate being made a fool.-"

"It's the truth! I'm a Winchester and an Argent!" The second name makes Adam stop for a moment, as he looks closer, before snorting. "Should've known by the look of you...scales and horns...only an Argent like her would have 2 traits... my...apologies, boy."

I blink as he unsheathes his sword, the crimson blade pulling free from its black scabbard, before it comes flying toward me. I clench my eyes closed, and after a moment, i feel the ropes around my slacken and fall off. I open my eyes to see Adam sheathing Wilt, and a small smirk forms on his face. "Did you think I was going to kill you, Argent? I may be a monster, but I'm not evil." I get out of the chair, as Adam gestures for me to follow him. "I should have known you were the son of Maria Argent. forgive me for being so...unwelcoming as a host. Tell me, Argent, do you want to join us? to Join the white fang? to fight for the rights of Faunus everywhere?"

Before I can respond, the system gives me a update
