Vale Park

Blake sat with her parents, smiling as she did so. The sun was shining, and there were several children running around, laughing and having fun as they played. There were three kids laughing and playing in the fountain, with two adults watching them. Right now, everything was looking bright, and in fact, she and her parents had just went to a bookstore, where they had bought her a new book, which was titled Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The summary of the book talked about a man with two souls that fought over each other for control over his body. It was an interesting read so far, and she was intrigued by the story to say the least. She sighed in joy as she sat with her parents, nesting her head on one of their laps. She looked up, and she saw the smiling face of her mother, and when she looked a little bit down, she saw the laughing face of her father, who was definitely laughing from one of the puns he had just made. His puns were good, and she had found herself usually laughing at them, but she didn't hear what his joke was. Everything was so serene, unreal, calm. It was so much different from the White Fang lifestyle she had grown accustomed to, but the rare days like this always help wash her worries down. It helped heal her, bring her back to life from the horrible depths that she had witnessed while undergoing missions with the White Fang... everything was right.

The birds started chirping, and the melodic song that came from their beaks only helped make the entire scene glorious and peaceful. Her mother started to comb through her hair, making Blake nearly purr at the motion. It felt so good, and she was getting scratched behind the ears at the same time. Her mother started to sing with the birds, and she sang a song about a little bird singing. She started to join in, closing her eyes as she did so. This was so soothing, and after all she had gone through, it was great. She wished that Adam was here to join in the relaxing moment too, but he had a job to do. Something about giving some faunus support in the streets, as he was trying to help them. The White Fang had been busy recently, trying their best to regain the support of the faunus people, and were slowly building that up again. Despite the fact that they were having some fallout with the leader, they were still doing their best, attempting to reconnect ties with the humans, to little to no success. In fact, the situation did seem dire, as the leader was showing some signs of mental stress and fatigue, and there were some more aggressive supporters that had their eyes on the leadership. She knew herself that this kind of moment would become rare in the moment, and she wanted to savor it as much as possible as she could. That was when the birds stopped singing and chirped fearfully, and started to fly away.

Her mother stopped singing, and looked at the fleeing birds, confused. Her father looked worried, and started to scan the environment, wondering what on Remnant was going on. That was when they heard the first scream, and a body landed right in front of the family, a hole present where the heart should be. Horrified, she and her parents looked up, just to see the carnage that had quickly occurred. The entire fountain was spewing blood, and the bodies of the three children were floating face down in the water, with the two adults that had been watching them ripped apart across the fountain. The other children that had been playing in the park had all died, murdered in the most grotesque way possible. In front of them, however, was a human with a tiger head, who was proceeding to choke out a child. The poor kid was foaming at the mouth, his entire face turning blue, and his eyes rolled back as he stopped fidgeting. The tiger man grunted, and then snapped the poor child's neck, before throwing him away and glaring at Blake and her parents.

The bright yellow sun that had been granting joy to Blake and her parents had turned into a dark purple, and the entire sky was turning gray, and it began to rain red. Not blood, but the color red, and each drop that hit anything dissipated into thin air, disappearing as soon as they touched the ground. The tiger man started to look more fearsome, his entire body mutating into that of a messed up creature of Grimm. The tiger man's arms began to grow in size, and spikes began to grow from his arms, and his fists turned into black claws, ready to start ripping apart anything that came in his way. His head grew larger, mixing to become a hybrid of a tiger and a dragon. By the time he had finished transforming, he had become a monster, with a head of a tiger dragon, arms of a giant, buff beowolf, and spikes that grew out of every part of his body. She and her parents were too scared to have moved, and now that this monster was in front of them, they finally snapped. Blake's father charged the monster, roaring and putting his fists up, prepared to act as a distraction for Blake and her mother to get away. Amber, Blake's mother, grabbed Blake by the arm and started to run away, trying to put as much distance away from the monster as she could.

Blake's father only bought them a few seconds of time, but it was precious, as they managed to get away as far as they could. She saw her father sailing over her, and he did not seem okay, as he was in three different parts, splattering blood everywhere on the ground. Vale became more and more distorted, turning into a hellish city, with black skyscrapers and broken floors. The city began to devolve in age, breaking apart and become defunct the more she and her mother ran. Her mother was crying, but she continued running, and Blake could notice that her mother's hand was shaking violently, trying to forget what she had witnessed. They heard the roar of the monster, and Blake looked behind her, only to widen her eyes in horror. The THING had begun to chase them, and it was catching up to them quickly, to the point where Blake could easily see it becoming larger and closer. She started to run faster, and she soon overtook her mother. Amber tripped on a stone, and cried out to Blake to get away while she still could, and Blake followed her mother's orders, and kept on running.

Her mother got stomped on by the beast, and a large splatter of blood fell onto Blake's back, but she mentally told herself to ignore it and kept running. She heard the large crunch, and she started to cry as she ran as fast as she could. All that went through her mind was to survive, to forget, to run away. She heard the massive stomps of the beast, and she knew in her mind that the monster was catching up to her. She started running more than her body was letting her go, and her legs began to burn in pain, yelling to her to stop running and take a break. She paid no mind, and the adrenaline was rushing through her body, and she was desperately trying to get away from the beast. She felt her right leg get grabbed, and before she could realize what had happened, she felt her right leg get pulled out, and she fell, with blood gushing out of the stump that used to be her right leg. She started to crawl away, blood pouring out of her body at a high rate, and blood somewhat coming out of her mouth. She felt herself being picked up by her left leg, and she got hoisted up, hanging upside down. She got a clear view of the monster now, and when she looked inside its eyes, all she saw was pure hatred and the utter desire to do harm. The person opened their mouth, and Blake just stared at the numerous rows of sharp teeth, there were so many rows that it seemed all too fake. But she was right in front of the beast, the pain was real, and to boot, she could feel the breath of the monster. The beast's jaws started to go down on her head, and she closed her eyes, ready to take the damage. Then she felt an odd pain in her left shoulder, and that woke her up.

Beacon Barn

Blake gasped as she woke up with a start, quickly going right to a sitting position. She started to pant, and quickly looked around, wondering what had just happened. That was a dream all along? But it felt so real, the pain, and everyth- She quickly checked her legs, pulling the sleeping bag back, and then sighing in relief when she found that she still had her right leg. She ended up trying to go back to sleep, but she just couldn't find any way to. She sighed and got up, quietly tip-toeing over the sleeping students. She didn't want to disturb the people, and she noticed Weiss Schnee sleeping, who was rather sleeping normally. Ruby was sprawled out, wearing a Grimm mask over her eyes, and Yang was hugging a pillow, and muttering something in her sleep. She started to head towards the barn roof, hoping that no Beacon staff were patrolling the hallways, and thankfully enough, none of them. After a few minutes of walking, she got to the roof, and was greeted by the crumbled moon in front of her. She sat on the roof, and continued to look at the moon, hoping that her parents could forgive her for being a coward. She shook her head and started to shed tears, even in her dreams she was a coward, not strong or brave enough to try to save her parents. She could've TRIED to save them, but instead, she chose to run, and ended up getting killed. She was nothing but a weak excuse of a faunus, not even trying to save her parents. She even tried to continue running while her right leg had been gone in that dream...

She couldn't hold it in anymore. She started to bawl, and tears soon began to flood out her eyes, and she just went on. She couldn't stop, and she had no other way of releasing all the stress inside her. She wanted to try to change herself, to try to become stronger... but she couldn't. Heck, a fifteen year old was braver than HER, to the point where she was legitimately pathetic. Ruby was stronger than her, Dust damn it, and she was only going off fairy tales! She did not want this to be the defining trait of her life, and she wanted to get vengeance... but could she? Could she face the monster that killed her parents, and fight and kill the tiger headed human that slaughtered her White Fang comrades? Did she have the strength? Even she didn't know, and she just fell to her knees, drowning in her sorrow. After a few minutes of nonstop crying, she got up, and headed towards her sleeping bag, her eyes puffing from the amount of crying she had done. She was a bit thirsty, so she drank some water on her way back to the makeshift bed. She tiptoed over the sleeping students again, and tucked herself in, trying to go back to sleep. It was a while before she was able to, and this time, she was granted with mercy. No sweet dream, no nightmare, only blankness greeted her in her sleep. And she was more than okay with that.

Aquas1998: Of course the Deviant is OP, it had literally spent years training to become stronger, and it did not just sleep for days straight. It had survived solo in Emerald Forest, taking down any creatures of Grimm that it stumbled upon. It survived in Mountain Glenn, clashing with the numerous amounts of Grimm that had inhabited the land beforehand, and had grown strong enough to tear pieces of ground out and use it as weapons. It doesn't have its own name just because its unique, its much different from beowolves due to its awesome strength and incomprehensible power. If anything, its damage is high, but it still isn't strong enough to pierce through a Goliath's tough skin. It had to use a still remaining tusk to be able to, and after a fight with just TWO youngling Goliaths, it was well tired out. It's stamina is its weak point, and you can bet that it will be trying to raise the stamina levels currently. Till next time.
