The Dance Of Love (RWBY/FATE)

Chapter 50: chap 44



[AN: Bruv.. i need powerstones.. gimme that.. its not like i'm asking for much... 150 powerstones for a bonus chapter on the next update.. which meant that i would upload 3 chapter that day.. i am being very generous here..]

"John.... John Luna..."

I tell them my..... name..... yes.. my name as calmly as I can but inside.. something is still telling me to execute the two... bastards behind me...

It's as if it's my duty to do so.. I don't know why.. nor I know how do I have this itch to pull out my sword and cut off their heads, but I do have them...

What is happening with me... why can't I feel any guilt for injuring those two men severely... I know they would had done something horrible to these two kids... but how did I not feel any anything for those two men..

They won't be able to live normally after this... if they could live at all... I felt their skulls cracked with feet, I could have killed them... at minimum what they would get from their injuries is severe traumatic injuries that would destroy any chances of those two man living a life after this..

Even thinking about it right now, I still don't feel any shred of regret nor guilt... what is happening!? This is the first time I had hurt a person! What is going on with me!?

"John Luna? That's a weird name..." the boy's word managed to snap me out of my thoughts and I see him stand up and help the girl stand up.

"You're not from around here are you?" The boy asked me.

I nodded at him. "Yeah... I'm a..... traveler.."

A traveler would be a good excuse... for now.. cause I don't think any adults would believe if I say that I'm a traveler considering that I'm only 12 years old with no adults accompanying me... it wouldn't be hard for them to guess that I'm a runaway.

"A traveler? You wanted to go here?" The boy let out a chuckle before she shakes his head. "If I can travel the world.. I wouldn't want to go to Vacuo.."

I.... I cannot deny his words either... I haven't been here for 30 minutes and I had done something I don't think I would had ever done in my life...

The boy then shakes his head before he walks closer to me with the girl in tow and look over my shoulder to see the two men that I had.... defeated...

Oh Oum... I don't want to commit murder... but they left me no choice.. they would had done something unforgivable to these two kids infront of me..

"You really fucked them up, huh..." the boy commented before he walked to the body of the man that I had stick his head on the ground.

The boy the spit on the unmoving body. "Fuck you! You fucking stupid cunt!" He then kick the ribs of the man multiple time before he stop when we hear a crack.

The boy stop not because he wanted to show mercy... he stopped because he is looking around for something... but it looks like he found what he was looking for because he walked to a brick and grab it before he raised it over his head.

I... why can't my body move? The boy is going to kill that man... but... why do I feel nothing for that man?

That man is going to have his skull caved in by a brick and yet I have no desire to save him... Oh God... what is happening to me... why don't I want to save him!?

But before I could spiral down more into my thoughts, the boy stopped.. not because he didn't want to kill the man... but because the girl pulled him away.

"Hans! Stop!" The girl pleaded to the boy and it looks like all of the fight in the boy is gone as he dropped the brick and hugged the girl as they both start to break down.

"Greta! Shit! I'm sorry! If I was strong enough they wouldn't had hurt us!" Hans hugged Greta. "I'm sorry!"

Greta sobbed onto Hans's shoulder while I look at the unconscious body of the 2 men..

After a few moments of silence from me I walk up to Hans and Greta. "Hey... its okay..." I wrapped my arm around them. "I'm here...."

Greta look up to me from Hans's shoulder and starts to cry even harder. "Thank you! Thank you!"

"Its okay... don't cry..." I know that what happened to them is something that should had never happened in the first place... I'm just glad that I arrive just in time to save them. "They won't hurt you anymore... I promise.."

After a few more minutes of me comforting them, we then start to pull away.

Hans look at me and wipe his tears away. "Sorry for letting you see that... shit..."

"Hey, it's okay.. its nothing to worry about." I give him a smile that I hoped would calm him down and dissuade his worries.

Greta nodded and stand up beside Hans and I finally got a good look at them and see their appearance.

Hans is about my height and sports a brown hair alongside a tan skin, his eyes are golden and he wears a... I wouldn't say that the clothes is unsuitable to use but it got a few holes on them that needed to get stitched.

While Greta stands at only half an inch shorter then Hans, her hair is really.. really black and her skin is lighter than Hans even with the tan she got on her, her eyes is dark red which managed to get a raised eyebrow at me because that is the first time I had seen eyes with that colour before.. let alone the golden colored eyes that Hans have..

The clothes that she have on is slightly in better condition than Hans's... but still, I could stitch those clothes up and make it look as good as new.

Hans and Greta looks to be about my age or even the same age as me.... and even from this I know that they both had lived a life that is much much worse than mine... oh God.... why is the world so cruel to them both? They are just children... they don't deserve any of this..

Hans's then let out a smile and rub the back of his head. "Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to tell you about what our name is."

Greta nodded and nudge Hans on his side. "Stupid..." she then look at me before she talks again. "My name is Greta.. but I guess you would already know by now with how the Dumbo shouted out my name."

"Hey! I didn't shout out your name!" Hans denied the accusation from Greta.

"Yes you did!" Greta doubled down on it.

"Nuh uh!" Greta smack the back of his head. "Ow! What's that for!"

"Your embarrassing us!"

"I didn't!" Hans defended himself which falters as Greta pinch his waist. "I give! I give!"

"You better..."

Hans let our a sigh before he look back at me again. "Oh yeah.. what was I was planning to do?"

Before Greta can do anything to Hans again, Hans nodded to himself as he remembers. "Oh yeah! My name is Hans! Thanks for saving our asses!"

"Yeah... thanks for that..." Greta was a bit gloomy about thanking me.. not that I blame her...

"I... I don't want to know about what would happen to us if you weren't there John." She look at the bodies of the 2 men.

"Yeah... me too, I guess.. I don't think We'll survive it..." Hans agreed with Greta as he looks at the two bodies.

"Don't worry... I was just doing what everyone would had done if they were in my place.." I assure them but from the look on their face... its easy to guess that the people here are less... kind that what I was used too.. hopefully it's just this place because if all of Vacuo is like these and the people won't even help a couple of kids that is going to get hurt.. then I think I'm going to have a really hard time living here.

I already missed home now... I missed Mordred the most...

"Are... are they going to hurt us again?" Greta asked me in which i answered by shaking my head.

"No...."

Hans then look at me and to the brick that he dropped at the ground. "Should.. we should finish it.. when they wake up they would call their friends or some shit and hunt us down."

I raised my eyebrows at him. "Why? Are they affiliated with a group of other people like them? A gang?"

Greta nodded. "Yeah... they are one of the members of the Red Cactus Mafia gang.. or is it syndicate? I don't know which one."

"Red Cactus?...." Red Cactus... huh... that.. did they ran out of ideas for the name of their group? Why Red Cactus? That's weird..

Hans looks at me and let out a chuckle as he can clearly see the confusion on my face about the Fact that a Mafia Gang willingly named themselves as the Red Cactus.

"You're confused huh? Well.. there's a story for that name." Hans tell me which managed to make me raised an eyebrow even with the bodies of the two would be... rapist... defeated infront of us.

"Please do tell.. because right now my guess is that they ran out of ideas for a name." My words managed to even make Greta let out a soft Chuckle which is good.. why? Well anything that made both Greta and Hans stop thinking about what had happened then it's good in my books.. even if it comes out like I don't care about the bodies in front of us to the point that I could joke around.

Which Is not wrong per say.. I am trying my best to care for these two man but I can't... God dammit I can't.. the only feelings I have for these two bastards are my hand itching to pull out Crocea Mors and execute them.. why am I so blood thirsty all of the sudden? What is happening me to me!?

I shake my head to clear my head out of my thoughts because I can worry about what is happening to me later, right now Hans and Greta are much more important than my sudden change in personality..

Hans then starts to tell me the story. "Well.. the Mafia gang got its name about 5 years ago when rival gangs members starts disappearing one by one."

Only 5 years? That's.. that's about when I was 7 years old then.. when dad decided to... stopped my training....

"... that still doesn't explained about why they are name like that tho...." I asked Hans because if all they did is kill other rival Mafia gang's members then it wouldn't explain why they are called the red Cactus..

"Well.. you're right..... what made them got their name is... what happened to the bodies of those Rival Mafia Gang members.." Hans look away with his face a little pale.

I know I would regret this but... I hope that it isn't what I think it is.. cause if I'm right then.. this group of people is evil to its absolute core... "what happened to the bodies?"

Greta decided to continue as she rubbed her forearm. "Yeah... the bodies... they... they put then on Cactus..."

".....what?"

"... they put the bodies on Cactus... from one hole... out to the other hole... and from what we managed to eavesdrop from some of the Mafia members here, the people still alive when they stick the.. they forced the Cactus into one hole... and out of the other..." Greta explained even further which made my face become even more pale.

I thought.. that... its... its much worse from what I thought they did.. what I thought was they had speared the missing gang members with their weapons so may time that they resembled a Cactus with how much weapons sticked out of their body....

It turns out to be much much worse... I... how.. how could someone be so cruel to do that to another person... I can't imagine how it would feel the pain those poor people experienced...

"Yeah....." Hans then look at the two bodies. "... and they never stopped doing it either... if somebody messed with them... that would happened to them.. that's why I suggest that.. we finish the job here.."

I look at the two bodies and shake my head. "No... no need to kill them.." I let out a sigh. "They... at worst case scenario, they would die from the head injuries I had given them... and the best case scenario for them is that they would become a vegetable..."

"Oh...." Hans look at the bodies and back at me again before he switch back and forth between me and the bodies. "How are you so.. strong..."

"Well.. I had trained to be a hunter.. I had killed a few grimms before..." I explained to them which made both Greta and Hans turns quiet.

Suprisingly... its not Hans that make a sounds... its Greta...

"Wow.... that's so cool..."
