Darkness Falls

Dividing Line

"She's a Faunus?"

"She shouldn't be able to get that award!"

"Get her off the stage!"

"Filthy Faunus, go back to the slums!"

Blake ran off the stage clutching her medallion, an angry Weiss following her, who was being chased by Yang and Ruby, trying to stop her.

"So that's how you knew so much about the White Fang, you filthy Faunus! I never want to see you again!" Weiss shouted as Blake rounded the corner. Ruby jumped and wrapped her arms around Weiss' legs, tripping her.

"Weiss, what was that? You two were best friends! You thought she was an amazing person before you found out she was a Faunus, why would you think any different afterwards?" Yang said, seeing that Blake was too far away to catch with Ruby's state on the ground.

"That damn scoundrel took advantage of us, she wanted to take down the White Fang and she used us as tools!" Weiss complained, brushing off her dress.

"No Weiss, it was your idea that she agreed with to take down the White Fang once and for all. She would have backed up her own ideas if she waned to take advantage of us." Ruby said, getting up, careful with her right leg.

"So? She still used us to attain her goal." Weiss yelled, turning to go chase Blake again.

"No, she didn't. We all agreed together to chase down the White Fang together in year one. And who went out of her way to find out about the White Fang hideout? Who almost didn't go to the dance in first year? Who lost tens of hours of sleep, researching on how to stop the White Fang? That was all Blake." Yang yelled, grabbing Weiss' arm.

"Yang, calm down. You're literally flaming right now." Ruby said, noting where the fire extinguisher was.

"And one more thing, you and her were allies on the same team. You worked flawlessly with her for four years. Once you find out that she lied about her heritage, you're willing to immediately turn your back on her and hurt her?" Yang yelled, her eyes growing a dark crimson.

"Yeah, I am actually. The White Fang killed my entire family short of my sister, and we barely saved her in year three! I have all the reason to hate the Faunus!" Weiss yelled, staring Yang straight in the eyes.

"Who was it that found where they took Winter hostage? Who was it that carried Winter out of the building where she was being held? Who was it that cared about our problems, no matter what?" Yang yelled, a small pillar of fire growing over her head.

"This warrants a fire extinguisher." Ruby mumbled, racing to get the red canister off the wall.

"Yeah well guess what? You're just in denial that your little girlfriend is a Faunus! We're in the same boat Yang, you just don't want to admit it!" Weiss yelled, getting right up next to Yang, looking up to close the height difference.

"SHUT UP!" Yang yelled, preparing a punch, which could be lethal even to Weiss with her anger.

"Stop!" Ruby yelled, jumping between them, spraying Weiss and Yang wildly with the fire extinguisher.

"What the hell was that?" Weiss yelled, looking down at her now ruined dress.

"Yang, you need to chill. Weiss is right that she has every right to be angry at the Faunus, but not entirely so. Weiss, you need to calm down as well. It was the White Fang that killed your family, not normal Faunus. Blake worked with us to stop the White Fang!" Ruby said, holding her arms between the two like a referee.

"Whatever. All I know is that if she's in the dorms when I go to fix my dress, she isn't going to like me, or what happens to her." Weiss grumbled, walking towards the dorms.

"Don't you lay a finger on her!" Yang shouted, starting to chase Weiss, being held back by Ruby.

"Yang, don't!" Ruby said, her leg screaming in protest. She had scraped it when she tackled Weiss, and the pain was definitely showing now.

"Screw you!"
