Neo pov

" So you are the partner of Miss Vanille ."

" As long as we need Miss Trivia we can't make up the losses needed to find her."

"So it's good that you are here."

"There are many ways you can make money for us "

Said faunus looking thoughtful. I feel my partner grasp my hand.

"You can just steal for us maybe it's not much but always"

"And even if that's not enough "

Faunus says looking at her.

" Pale skin, black hair and beautiful eye".

" In the future you will be really beautiful".

" You are still much too young to earn this way".

" I need money for now"

" On Mistral I know a certain guy who buys young girl".

Said the faunus approaching us slowly.

' he want to sell her ?

I think worriedly when a black-haired girl suddenly picks up a gun and aims it at faunus.

' Isn't this a display gun ? '

' This gun won't work! '

Faunus has the same idea and starts laughing about it.

"Who keeps a working firearm in a museum? "

Asks Faunus at which the girl widens her eyes and, not believing his words, pulls the trigger.

"... "

The weapon makes no sound. The girl, seeing faunus furrowed brow, shouts to men.

"To the window! "

Before we can move the faunus throws at high speed towards us but before it can touch us from the shadow of my friend created by the candlelight three pairs of hands slide out catching the faunus by the ankles. The force of the faun breaks off several hands leaving only one hand firmly holding the ankle consequently causing the faunus to fall.

Due to his body falling between us, I fall on the right side and my partner on the left side of the room and we are separated by the faunus huge body between us.

"Fuck! "

"Bitch it hurt".

" First you want to shoot me and now this! "

He shouts getting up and walking towards my friend .

'I'm next to the windows I can just run away.

' A friend who does something wrong and leaves you to take the blame is a bad friend.'

'Why do I remember it now? '

'She came after me and risks her life for me'.

' She did a lot more than my birth parents'.

' 'I can't just run away'

I see faunus lifting her violently by her hair as she struggles. From the exhaustion on her face I know she won't be able to fight back.

' Leave her alone !!! '

I think standing up and picking up the now overturned bottle that was rolling around the room. I run towards the faun surrounding my body with as much aura as I can and hit the faun in the back of the head with the glass bottle.

The bottle shattered on the faunus head spilling the contents on his bald head. The faunus made only a quiet sound of pain. Before I could do anything else the faunus let go of her hair and turned around hitting me with a backhand making the aura surrounding my body flash. Despite the protection of the aura I fall to the ground and look towards my now free friend .

The faun now turned towards me looks at me with furious eyes. He touches the back of his head and then watches this hand on which there are now traces of blood.

"That hurt! "

"You little bitch!!!"

" While I can't do anything to you, I can do a lot to that little bitch of yours."

Just as he is about to turn around my partner jumps on his back putting her hands on his face sticking her thumbs into his eyes and forming a few pale hands from the shadows holding the faun's legs.

Hearing a shrill pained scream from the dazed faun I waste no time getting up and picking up the broken bottle and stabbing it into the faunus' stomach. Pulling the bottle out the enraged faunus snatches his leg from the hands that were holding it and kicks me straight in the chest I feel pain and my aura shield almost burst. Lying on the ground I feel that I am about to lose consciousness.

Looking back towards the gangster I see his right eye has been gouged out and blood is pouring from his left eye as my friend with a determined face refuses to let go of his back and sticks her thumbs even deeper into the faunus eyes.

Finally, the gangster reaches behind him and despite her aura, the faunus drives his claws into her back tearing her dress and spilling her blood.

'No'

I felt as if time had stopped I saw her pained expression as she was ripped from his back and thrown onto one of the bookshelves, knocking over several books and parchments I see that her aura has broken. Some of the parchments fall on the candles slowly spreading fire all over the bookcase full of old dry books and parchments.

Faunus with a wounded left eye starts walking slowly towards my partner holding a puncture wound on his abdomen. I can see the pain on her face as she reaches for the antique gun that has fallen beside her.

' This gun will not help her in any way.

'I have to get up! '

With every breath I feel pain, I can't keep my balance.

'My ribs are broken'.

I can see my partner aiming at the faun. Fire already occupy the entire bookcase slowly covering the ceiling.

' If you touch her I will kill you!

I try to speak but only a growl escapes from my throat I clench my teeth and stand up. I see a red-black aura erupt from my friend. The red and black aura in the form of a string heads towards the gun.

' Her aura didn't break? '

However, it didn't matter because to my joy and surprise there is a bang in the room and thick smoke comes out of the front of the gun. With a shock, the faunus stops and turns his head towards his arm which surprisingly was only torn from only one bullet. Seeing an opportunity I clench my teeth get up and pick up the letter knife and book that's half on fire from the ground. With all my speed I walk towards the faunus who now began to scream in pain.

With a quick swipe I drive the knife into the back of his knee and rip it apart . With even more pain the faun falls on his remaining knee seeing this, I hit the back of his head with a burning book, setting on fire the alcohol spilled on back of his head . With his head in flames and his knee damaged, the faunus, due to the pain and daze, remains completely defenseless.

Knowing how I should end this I pull out the knife and plunge it into the now exposed throat of the defenseless faunus which is now at the perfect height for me . That didn't kill him it simply interrupted his screams. Seeing me, he grabs my throat with his remaining hand with helplessness and fury in his eyes. He doesn't have much strength left so without hurting me he just falls to the ground. So I pull out the knife and just start stabbing where it should kill him I stab again and again and again and again.

'Die die die die! '

Feeling his blood on my face and seeing his body lying on the ground I snap out of my desire to peck the already dead faun. However, my worry came as I feel the smoke spreading and seeing the entire office is already in flames.

With panic I look around for my friend. I see her lying unconscious with a gun in her hand. Hearing the noise in the corridor, I know that the gunshot and loud noises have alerted the people outside the museum. In pain I lift my wounded friend onto my back. Catching her under her knees and leaning her body on my back.

"What's going on? "

"What were those shots? "

Behind the door, I hear indistinct voices and the sound of a door handle being jerked.

"Open the door! "

"Do you feel it? "

" Smoke? Fire!!! "

Behind the door I hear even more screams. Meanwhile, I walk over to the window.

'I will not open it '.

' Besides, I no longer have an aura to protect us from falling down

I have no way to open the window or the door not to mention that I have almost no aura I can feel even more smoke accumulating in the room. Hearing the lock slowly being broken only one idea comes to my mind.

' Sorry '.

I think while ripping off a small part of her dress and cover our noses and mouths. I quickly hide low under the desk knowing that the carbon dioxide and smoke will gather higher up.

Pov 3 person

Two gangsters bang on the door trying open the office. Museum security guard with gun in his hands and a woman in a suit arrive in the hallway.

"What's the noise "

" Have you forgotten that the police can't know about this place! "

Shouts the angry woman, looking at two of her men who are currently trying to ram the door.

"We don't know, boss."

"We only heard screams and then a gunshot, so we came to see what was going on."

Says the younger gangster as he continues to help the older one kick down the door.

"There should only be the little thief and Blanc inside."

" Blanc should be guarding her so what's the point?"

Says the woman in the suit. The younger one turns around and says.

"Boss we don't know what's going on most likely something happened inside and a fire broke out."

At the last word the woman froze that she indeed felt the heat coming from the side of the door and now watching her people trying to open the door and thinking how long the fire lasted an important lesson came to her head during fires do not open the door if you know there is only fire on the other side .

"Don't ope... "

The woman didn't have time to finish when the door was finally opened and suddenly splinters and fire erupted from inside, engulfing the two people at the door and injuring the woman and the security guard standing behind.

The closed door partially cut off the supply of oxygen needed for the combustion reaction, resulting in slowly starving a fire. The sudden opening of the door caused a sudden amount of oxygen to enter the room causing a sudden explosion of flame toward the oxygen-rich area ( the corridor).

After a moment, Neo came out of the room carrying another unconscious girl on her back, their mouths and noses were covered with cloths. Both were from their hair to their faces to their clothes all black from soot. There were many burns on their bodies despite the delicate pink aura surrounding both girls.

Seeing the injured people lying in the corridor, Neo walked on, not paying attention to anything other than getting out of the building. She walked wobbly the whole way trying not to fall over. Despite her condition, there was a resoluteness in her eyes as if the girl she was carrying on her back was worthier than the fire consuming the wooden floors and curtains on the windows.

Being in the lobby Neo tried to open the door but found it locked.

Turning away, she walked toward the door to the museum's basement. Descending the stairs to the basement she almost fell over coughing up a bit of blood. Walking further, the girl's back left small traces of blood behind her, which dripped from her back.

Finally, Neo managed to exit through the back door into the parking lot. Outside, the rain was falling, washing the blood off the unconscious girl's back and the moon illuminated the gun she held in her hands despite her unconsciousness.

Paying no attention to the weather, Neo began to walk away from the museum and walked for unknown lengths of time. Eventually Neo fell down one of the alleys and the last thing her pink-brown eyes saw was a display case with a sign" under the golden tooth".
