Remnant's Maiden Of Dawn

Chapter 9: The Return

Y/N POV:

After last nights "session" with Blake we head over to a small Cafe with Sun as he went to get our drinks.

Y/N: (I can't believe I did that)

I look at Blake to see she was looking at me as we both look away from each other blushing like crazy.

Sun: Got the drinks!

I perk back up and quickly grab my cup and start drinking.

Blake: (to sun) So, you want to know more about me.

Sun: Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you gave me nothing but small talk and weird looks!

Blake then glares at him.

Sun: Yeah, like that.

Blake: Sun... Are you familiar with the White Fang?

Sun: Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want.

Sun: Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!

Blake: I was once a member of the White Fang.

Sun: (chokes on his drink) Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!

Blake: That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it.

Blake: Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus.

Blake: Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate.

Blake: Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there.

Blake: I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist.

Blake: Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking.

Blake: Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor.

Blake: And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear.

Blake: So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress.

Blake: So here I am: a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow.

She wiggles her cat ears under her bow.

Sun: So... have you told your friends any of this?

Blake: Not really...in a good way.

Timeskip~

After finishing up at the Cafe we start walking down an alley.

Sun: (hands behind his head) So, what's the plan now?

Blake: I still don't believe the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed that much Dust before.

Sun: What if they did?
