(Y/N's POV)

I am a faunus, people hate me, they despise my kind, and they treat us like slaves. However, what you don't know from behind the curtain, my family, The Belladonnas, who were all cat faunus, were also like the humans they were despised by. How, well, let me take you back to when I've had too much to handle.

(Flashback)

Ghira: "Y/N, GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!" Another day, another life in the home I call prison. The Belladonnas were at it again, with their daily beatings, and endless labors, and for what? All because I was different...different in a sense that I was a very rare species of faunus, just like my real animal cousin, the white tiger. I was either the last of my kind, or one of the last surviving, for I heard that there were still some out there, waiting to be able to come out of hiding. Although that may be the case, I had to get through my old family first. I got down from my barren attic before I made my way down to the kitchen, where I would usually cook and wash the dishes every single day. As I got downstairs, I saw Ghira Belladonna, my pussy of a father, Kali Belladonna, the slut of the group, and last bet definitely not the least, Blake Belladonna, the trickster of the group. I could survive one of them being them being the way they would treat me, but all three...? That would go to a whole 'nother level of stress and trouble. I got into the kitchen and I started to cook dinner for the three of them as they were regularly talking to each other like I was never alive. 

Ghira: "Well done Blake, keep that up, and you will be a fine huntress in no time."

Blake: "Thanks daddy!"

Kali: "Oh my little kitten is growing up to be a fine huntress, I'm gonna cry..." 

Y/N: 'Pfft, the lies, all the lies...' I then carried three plates, one on my head, and two on each hand to the table, however, Blake, "accidentaly" tripped me over and made me drop the plates on the floor, and making the food fly towards them. This made them very very angry.

Ghira: "You little bitch...you think you can just break things here and there without consequences!? You are in my house, and you follow what I tell you to do!" 

Y/N: "I-it, w-wasn't me, B-blake tripped me-" I was then smacked in the face by Kali, leaving a large handprint on my face, and Blake snickering in her chair.

Kali: "Don't lie to us Y/N, we know what we saw, and we know that it's all your fault. Y'know, I was wrong to have let you live, you should've died in that box." After what she had said to me, my heart had just been pierced by thousands of pins and needles, and it had been broken as if it were just glass. Basically, I had snapped at her statement. After I got up from the floor, I ran up to my attic and barricaded the door with whatever I could find inside, books, tables, chairs, anything before I started to feel rage inside me, a raging fire that I could never douse with water. It was like I had found a new found strength in me, my semblance. So, I packed up what I had in my room after I had made a note, saying goodbye to them and setting up a little surprise for them when they finally realized their mistake. Then, I slowly opened my skylight window and climbing up to the roof of my house. I looked over the shattered moon, beyond the city of Menagerie before I got a running start and jumped off the roof towards another roof of a house and continuing the process until I reached the docks. As soon as I got there, I snuck into a random ship that hopefully could take me away from here. For the first time in my entire life, I was happy...

(Timeskip) (Blake's POV)

I got up from bed and did my morning routine before I went down to the living room to watch some tv while I waited for breakfast. Daddy and Mommy looked quite down as of the moment, but I just thought it was just lack of sleep. I shrugged it off before sitting on the couch to watch tv, and the news channel was on, with breaking news.

Lisa Lavender: "Breaking News from the dock of Menagerie, a cargo ship, occupied by at least 3 dozen passengers, had been attacked by the sea dragon grimm that had been terrorizing Menagerie for months on end. What you are now looking at, is the video, taken by the news helicopter, that luckily flew above the scene." Just after she said that, a video popped up on the tv, showing the grimm, tearing the cargo ship apart, piece by piece. Also, I saw what looked like to be Y/N, escorting them safely out of the hull and into the life boats before the shipped exploded into a small mushroom cloud. Mommy and Daddy saw this too, and they were both shocked and were even crying after what had just happened.

Ghira: "No, son, why have I done these things to you."

Kali: "If only we were a better family, you wouldn't have suffered the fate you were given. We are so sorry Y/N..." I was crying inside, knowing that my older brother had just died without me knowing .

Blake: "Big brother...I am so sorry..."





A/N: Man does it feel good to be back. Hey everyone, I'm back for now. I'll be continuing these books as best I can, since I already have school, and I am in Grade 10. I will have to make time for studies rather than writing books. Anyways, I hope that you liked this chapter. Thank you so much for reading, and I will see you in the next chapter. BYE!
