RWBY: Faith Restored (Book 1)

Blood on White Fangs

Menagerie

A Faunus with a crocodile tail ran through the crowd and markets until the large building was in sight. He ran to the building and knocked on the door. He waited and saw a woman with short hair and cat ears open the door. Kali Belladonna asked "Yes?" The Crocodile Faunus heaved as he held an envelope in his hands "This was sent from Beacon Academy. From Blake Belladonna." Kali gasped and took the letter from his hands and looked at it. She nodded and closed the door. A voice asked "Who was at the door?" She looked up and said "It was Jake. He had a letter for us. It's from Blake." A man came out from the hallway and to his wife and looked at the envelope. A smile formed on his face as he used a claw to open up the envelope. He pulled the letter out and started reading.

"Mom and Dad,

It's really hard to write this because I'm so nervous and don't even know where to begin. I left the White Fang... You were right. I joined Beacon Academy and made new friends. Even the Heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. It's crazy but it's true. We're Team RWBY. A friend of mine is wanting to help reach a meeting with the current leader of the White Fang and the new Head of the Schnee Dust Company. His name is Vlad Tepes and he is currently speaking with Sienna Kahn to convince her of joining the meeting to discuss ways of bringing Faunus and Human equalities.

I wish I could see you again... I wanted to make a difference. To bring equality but I never realized how dark the road was. I hope you can forgive me.

-Blake"

Shots were fired in a dark place and shouts were heard as a trail of unconscious bodies followed to a door where two soldiers fired until Dracula pushed them through the door and fell unconscious. Dracula walked to the middle of the room and looked upon the leader before bowing in respect. "Sienna Khan. Leader of the White Fang." The brown skinned tigress Faunus stood up as she looked at Dracula with eyes of anger "You dare barge into our home and attack my soldiers? Speak before I cut off your head!"

Vlad stood up and spoke "I am Vladimir Dracula Tepes. King of all Vampires. I wanted to speak with you in hopes of coming to an agreement. I propose a meeting between you, Ghira Belladonna, and Willow Schnee." Sienna bared her teeth and said "You wish for me to converse with our enemy!?" Vlad frowned "Jacques Schnee is your enemy. Not Willow. She has been working hard to improve the working conditions for Faunus workers." Sienna asked "You seriously think that's going to sway us away from our cause? We demand respect for the humans have never given us any so we won't show them respect. We'll give them a reason."

Dracula spoke "I was like you a long time ago. I despised humanity because of their greed and cruelty. That was until I met my wife. She was a kind and ambitious woman. She wanted to be a doctor and heal people. I taught her everything on how to heal and help people. However... There were those who believed science and healing practices to be heresy and blasphemy to their religion. So they took her and murdered her. Burned her for being a witch." Sienna eyes widen and Dracula looked at her with red eyes and yellow iris' "So I lead a full scale war against all of humanity. Just like you are right now. Let me show you what happened."

He walked up the stairs and the guards had their spears at the ready but Sienna held her hand up to have them stand down. Dracula put a hand to her cheek and closed his eyes as he sent images if entire kingdoms burning to the ground, blood everywhere and bodies feasted on by monsters. Screams as innocent people were slaughtered. Sienna screamed as she fell back against her throne and breathed heavily. She looked up at him and said "Is... Is that what will happen?" Dracula nodded "But you can change that. You can help improve the lives of everyone. Accept the meeting and speak with Willow and Ghira. I'll be there as well."
