RWBY: Faith Restored (Book 1)

Quoth The Raven

It's been two days since the Breach of Vale and the appearance of a bat grimm nicknamed "The Ahool" Ruby was getting used to only having one eye while being comforted by her girlfriend, Weiss. Summer came by to make sure Ruby was OK. "Ruby... It's time I told you something about our lineage. You see, you and I are a special. Our eyes are capable of amazing things." Ruby looked at her mother and asked "Is this why Ozpin pointed out that I had silver eyes when we first met?" Summer nodded "You see... There was a legend of a group of warriors before Huntsman and Huntresses. Theses warriors were so deadly, that just by looking at then could kill a grimm. Silly I know, but... You and I are the last silver eyed warriors."

Ruby looked at her then down as she gently touched her eye patch and asked "But... How can it work when I just have only one eye? How is it even possible?" Summer caressed her daughter's cheek and answered her with a gentle smile "I will help you get through this. We'll start exercising tomorrow, OK sweetie?" Ruby nodded her and simply leaned on Weiss's shoulder who rubbed Ruby's shoulder. Summer looked at them and smiled "Looks you two match now." The White Rose pair blushed. Yang watched them and sighed and walked out of the dorm room. She traversed through the hallway and outside into the courtyard where she sat down in front of the statue and thought about her own mother. The sun shined bright and birds sang as a cool breeze passed by her hair. A large raven sat down upon the statue and looked around "Penny for your thoughts?" Yang looked up to see Dracula look down at her with a concerned expression.

Yang sighed as she scooted over to let Dracula sit down with her. He sat down and Yang answered, "I don't know if I have a ginger haired girl named Penny but yeah" Dracula smirked at her joke then Yang continued "It's about my mother... My actually mother. Blake, Weiss and Ruby all have their parents. Me? Abandoned by a mother I've wanted to see ever since my dad slipped out that Summer wasn't the first love he lost. I pushed for more when I found out that Raven was my mom. So... I pushed for any sort of information I could find. Then I saw a picture of this one house that my dad and mom lived in. So I put Ruby in a wagon, left when dad was asleep. I walked for hours... Then I reached the house. Nothing... It was just a dead end. Then the red eyes appeared... Grimm. So there I was... A stupid girl carrying her baby sister to their deaths."

Yang's eyes started threatening to spill tears and Dracula wrapped an arm around her to pull her close for comfort. She sniffled and hugged his arm and asked "Why is it I can't have my mom back... Why does everyone else get their loving mothers but not me... What's wrong with me?" Dracula wished her gently and started rocking her back and forth "Shh... Shh... There is nothing wrong with you, Yang. Let me tell you a secret of mine."

Dracula took a deep breath and spoke "I was the product of rape." Yang's eyes widened and gasped gently and Dracula continued "My mother was a nun and my father was the bishop. He was a fat sloth who thought he could get away with anything if it was under God. When I was born... My mother didn't care about raising me or the penance of committing suicide, she couldn't handle the pain and torment she went through with the Bishop. She was found dead and I was left in care at an orphanage. But when father found me... His fantasies never ended. For 10 straight years... I was left at the mercy of his sick fantasies. I prayed for God to find me salvation. It never came... For me... That was closest point to Hell I've ever seen."

A single bloody tear fell from his cheek and Yang squeezed his arm as she was scared. Scared at the sick thought of being a person's plaything for 10 years. She sniffled and said "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry" Dracula shook his head and answered "I've been alive for hundreds of years, Yang. I've learned to cope with the pain. I'm telling you this to let you know, you're not alone. I'm always here if you need someone to talk to. OK?" Yang nodded and wiped her tears "Thank you... Vlad." She leaned her head against Dracula's shoulder and stayed like that for several minutes until Vlad started humming a tune. He quietly sang
