The child ran in fear from her father, who was currently chasing her. The child's mother had been murdered by her husband, and now the husband had set out to kill the girl as well. "Luna! Come on out honey, I won't hurt you." The father said in a sweet tone. Luna pressed herself deeper into the cave wall, hoping her father wouldn't see or hear her. Then, Luna's foot slid, kicking a pebble. The pebble hit the ground, and her father's Faunus hearing kicked in. Luna saw her father's large ears tilt in her direction, and she panicked. The man turned toward her, and Luna saw a sadistic grin on the man's face.

As she ran, Luna's father dropped on all fours and dashed toward her. The man caught up to the poor girl and grabbed her shirt collar. The girl was yanked back, and she screamed as loud as her small lungs would allow. This sudden sound stunned Luna's father, allowing her to run into the nearby town. People had run out to see who was screaming, and they were shocked to see a young girl being chased by a large Faunus man.

"Please! Help me!" Luna shrieked. Another man tackled Luna's father and held him down, while a woman took Luna away from the man. Luna held the older woman as tightly as she could, while her father yelled about how he was going to kill her. Luna buried her face in the woman's stomach, and the man got off of Luna's father. Suddenly, all the townspeople stepped away from Luna, and Luna's father grabbed her. "This gas works wonders." Her father said. As Luna looked around, all the townspeople were quickly slipping into comas.

The man pulled out a knife, and fear completely overtook Luna. She screamed, and her aura flared, blinding her father. Luna backed away, clutching her head. She let out another scream, but this was more bestial than human. As Luna stumbled around in pain, she began to change.

A large heart formed around Luna, then an enormous creature began to form around the heart. Grey armor plates covered its thick pinkish skin, and plates formed over its head.

Then the other heads formed.

Luna's father gasped, then tried to run

Luna's father gasped, then tried to run. He didn't make it far. The creature shrieked in rage, then stomped on the man. It destroyed the town, then rushed off, smelling flesh. 

At the next town, men and women had weapons ready. They managed to destroy the creature, but didn't have the heart to kill Luna. They took the poor girl in, fed her and clothed her, and a kind couple raised her as the child they could never have. 

10 years later....

Luna applied to Beacon, and she was accepted. Nobody outside the townspeople knows what happened, so she has a chance to make friends outside of the town, allowing her to have a semi-normal life. Before she left, she hugged her adopted parents and thanked them for everything they did for her. They shared a hug before Luna was called onto the Bullhead, and she said she'd call. 

As Luna arrived at Beacon, she sighed, and prayed that her inner demon wouldn't return during her time at Beacon. Pulling on her black jacket, she walked out of the Bullhead, and into the courtyard.
