We're in this together (Rwby x Faunus Titan pilot) (Volume 1)

Chapter 20: Wrong side of Vale

(Y/n POV)

I began to slowly wake up with a light pain square in the middle of where my forehead met my (H/c) hair. I was sore all over from all the running I'd done but I still sensation in my legs as I wiggled my toes in my shoes. They were resting on a hard surface as I my eyes were adjusting to a white light that was pretty blinding at first. Once my sight had fully adjusted, I realized I was sitting in a dull empty room a little bigger than a broom closet on a concrete floor, the only things in here were a couple pipes feeding through the ceiling in the wall, a couple crates that had the Schnee dust company Insignia on them and a door. I was resting on my knees as my legs were tucked underneath my thighs, I tried to get up however something metallic was holding back my arms by my wrists as well as a clanking and clattering sound while I was struggling. I cocked my head around as much as I could and saw a tall pipe feeding from the ceiling into the floor that my back was pressed against. I'm guessing the clattering sound was a pair of handcuffs somebody had slapped on me.

(Y/n):"I'm guessing whoever did this obviously doesn't know about my semblance" I said as I was readying to activate my semblance.

I used my semblance and freed my arms from their binds as I heard a jingling sound ring out as the handcuffs clattered to the floor behind me. I struggled to stand to me feet, I had a serious case of jelly legs going on trying to stand as I used the pipe behind me for support so I didn't fall down.

It was a few minutes before I could support myself enough to stand on my own before I slowly started to walk to the door. It felt like I had limp in my step as I made my way over to the door but I made it to the door. I pressed my Faunus ears against door trying to listen for anyone coming or going. I heard noises sounding off but they sounded far off. Distant chatter, clanging sounds, an occasional shout was the majority of it but nothing that sounded close.

I pulled away from the door and reached for the door handle, slowly turning it as I opened it a crack and peeked out. I saw a really big empty space that looked like similar to the warehouse that me and RZ had been hiding out in for the past week. I saw more crates of Dust piled up everywhere ranging from small crates to entire shipping containers, all of which had the Schnee Dust company Insignia on them. I also saw people walking around wearing White robes over black hoods with black gauntlets, belts and boots to match. There most recognizable trait among all of them was the Grimm masks that they were all wearing covering their eyes.

Shit, looks like I caught the attention of the white fang and they'd took it upon themselves to seek me out. I didn't want to stick around to see what exactly they were going to do with me especially since this place would descend into chaos once they found out I got loose. I snuck out of the room and crouched as low as I could since my legs were still killing me before I scurried off and hid behind a stack of crates. I heard footsteps approaching as I made my myself small behind the crates trying not to be seen.

White Fang Member 1:"What's the plan with all these shipments of dust were stealing? Has the boss told you anything?"

White Fang Member 2:"If you don't know what makes you think I'll know any better? Were already working with humans which I don't like one bit. But now that short girl that works with that criminal in the bowler hat came back hauling in that Faunus from the wanted posters on her shoulders?"

White Fang Member 1:"Speaking of which we have to go check on him and see if he's come to. I don't like keeping one of our kind captive, doesn't feel right having to fight our own people."

I heard that chatter dying out as they made their way to the room I escaped from. I started to slip through the narrow openings of Crates using my semblance only if necessary. I wanted to escape but I had no idea where this place was. I had to find my scroll and contact RZ so he'd track my scroll and we could go from there, there was the risk that the cops would trace it back to me but if anything it'd lead them here to this White Fang Hideout. They'd Raid this place and most likely get into a huge firefight getting them off my back, by the time they'd showed up me and RZ would've met back up and we'd be long gone! Kill two birds with one stone!
