RWBY: LIFE AND DEATH - CHAPTER 7

Without my sister, I found myself lost, what to do… where to go, all I knew was, that I didn’t want to be part of a movement whose sole objective was vengeance for the sake of vengeance, killing for the sake of killing, I had dirtied my hands, I knew that I knew I carried blood on my name, but it was always for a reason, never for the sake of killing, for the sake of being like those to hurt us.

A sentiment a few Faunus shared with me, apparently, me leaving was a big enough event that many followed me, I, of course, directed them to Ghira, I was in no position to command anyone, and Ghira was the only option I had in mind when it came to such things, so I led them to him, and from there I would see where to go, and what to do.

“You know you can count on us right?” Ghira smiled, putting a hand on my shoulder.

“Thanks,” I smiled, “Where is Blake?”

“She’s on her way to beacon,” Ghira sighed, “You quitting was the breaking point for her, so she decided to do the same, and left the White Faunus,” and here I thought she was going to stay for a bit more, considering she was dating Adam, I knew for a fact she was going to leave the White Fang, thanks to my scarce canon knowledge, but I never figure out I was going to be the one to push her to do it, I always assumed it was going to be her crazy ass boyfriend.

“I’m glad for her,” I sighed.

“If you want, you can go… I have a few connections there, say the word, and I will send you,” Ghira offered.

“Is this you asking me to take care of blake?” I chuckled, he couldn’t be more obvious.

“I… yes, but also it could very well be the new beginning you are looking for,” Ghira chuckled.

“I doubt going to school will serve me in any way, but… considering I have no idea what to do now that I am out of the White Fang, well… I might as well give it a shot,” What that hell, who knows, I might even learn something.

“That’s the spirit!” Ghira laughed.

“Ghira, why don’t you hate me?” I asked, cutting his laugh short.

“Why would I?” Ghira inquired.

“When you stepped down from the White Fang, I stood by Sienna, and supported her on the decisions that led her to her current situation, if I had supported you… you would probably be the leader still,” I sighed, I should’ve stopped Sienna when things started to become more personal when things stopped being for the cause, but for personal vendettas.

“Kid, I was your age once, I know what is to feel what you feel, maybe not the same, but I understand some of it,” Ghira smiled, “The day I resigned from my position as the leader of the White Fang, I knew there was no alternative, and yes it hurt me… but the organization was no longer what I envisioned too much hate… too much blood, so I quit… me and my wife did, but Blake stayed, do you think I hate her for that?”

I shook my head, “I doubt it, you can’t talk with anyone without bringing her into the conversation,” I laughed.

“Well, I am proud of my daughter!” Ghira declared with a boastful laugh, “The point is, I didn’t hate her like I don’t hate you, or Sienna, or Adam… or anyone that stayed, the point of living is making choices, and if I start hating everyone that doesn’t make the same choices I take… the world would be an awful place, don’t you think?” what a terrible mistake we made, this man was born to lead the White Fang, how foolish we were.

“Very wise,” I smiled, “Well… I thank you for not holding a grudge,”

“My pleasure kit,” Ghira grinned.

I rolled my eyes, “So… Beacon?”

“Leave that up to me,” Ghira winked, “I have a few connections there, so don’t worry, I will cover all expenses and give you some money to spend,” I had quite a bit saved up, but I was not one to say no to free money.

“Thanks, while you do… whatever it is you have to do, I will take a bath,” I said, walking towards the bathroom.

“The bathroom is two doors to the left!” Ghira reminded me.

“It's not the first time I come here!” I shouted back.

“But we remodeled!” Ghira replied.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a long bath, I sat down on my bed, wondering what would await me on beacon, from what I remembered the academy was a big canon point in the series, not that I remembered much, the animation of the first season scared me away, something I now regretted, and the reason now I watched anything to completion, regardless of how bad the animation is.

Taking my scroll out, I opened my chat with Sienna, and sighed, should I write her, ignore her, or… fuck it, [Goodnight, sis.]

[New scroll who dis] I guess this answers whether if I should write to my sister or not, she clearly didn’t want to chat with me if the change of scroll was anything to go by.

[Wrong number, sorry] With that, I closed the chat, and sighed, oh well, she had my number, if she ever needed help, that’s what family is for, to help even if they are assholes like she was being right now. “Well, time to sleep,” I chuckled, throwing myself into the bed like a dead body on a pile… maybe a bit of a dark example, but I was currently sad, give me a break.

“We have breakfast at six am! And we make no exceptions!” Ghira shouted…. Six AM!? What kind of hell was I staying in? What type of monster wakes up so early, when having the option to sleep in.
