Chapter 22: Closing The Cage

Blake pov

Seeing Lappland leave I look towards Yang. 

' This girl has made a fuss' 

I think recalling the moment when Yang clung her body to Lappland. 

'I thought Lappland was going to kill her.'

The moment Yang groped Lappy was the moment I saw Lappland's pure rage. Lappy has her limits when it comes to not caring and her anger is something I wouldn't want to see. 

' To this day I remember and dread the day Lappland let go of all the brakes'. 

I think back to the massacred SDC security staff who tried to kidnap me once. 

' And we were only eleven years old then'. 

That was the first time I saw the monster in her. The first time I understood the seriousness of the trauma in her psyche. And the first time I felt something for her. 

' But If a man had done it to Lappland , I think I would have killed him myself'

' However, this is not important now so I should think about  what is important is that this girl looks at Lappy with such fascination and excitement despite what she has seen so far ' 

' For this reason I am sure she is not aware of the Lappy mental state '.

' the question is when she finds out will he leave her alone ? '

I think looking at the blonde who is happily opening another beer. 

' But even if she knows and yet she still feels something for her then I...'

Thinking about it I feel sadness and disappointment . 

' I will be jealous '

' I don't want her hanging around lappland she apparently feels something for her' 

But when I think of Lappland who can finally be happy with someone who loves her and will never betray her I start to feel positive about it . 

'However, that doesn't change the fact of how annoying this girl is especially drunk there is no excuse for the kind of sexual attack she did today '

' She is also shameless.' 

I think recalling the feeling of my hands on her ass . 

Forgetting about this matter I start thinking about the cage that is about to start . I'm not worried about someone hurting Lappdumb just about her hurting someone . Aunt Noir is the owner of this club is an old friend of my father. They were both in the same hunting team together with my mother. And a lot of the people who come here are white fang deserters and people from the old organisation so a lot of the faunus in here know me and Lappy because we grew up around them.

' Cage fighters are no exception to the rule'.

So I worry that some old acquaintance will accidentally be seriously injured in a fight. As for the deserters in this place, after the changes came in the structures and ways of the white fang faunus started to flee and places like this club became a help for those trying to escape.

' Unlike them I was blind and didn't see this ultimately endangering myself and Lappland.' 

My thoughts end with the music in the club turning off and after a moment a monitor attached above the cell entrance turned on. Seeing this I, along with Yang and Velvet, sit back down on the sofa and together with the rest of the group we look at the monitor. 

People in the club seeing the monitors turning on throughout the club also stop dancing and talking turning their attention to the cage. The image on the monitor is a picture of the cage presented from different perspectives. In the cage the lights turned on and in the glow of one of them a lone woman in a suit appeared .

" Since our ways have separated from the ways of the humans we have been discriminated , intimidated and condemned for who we are". 

" The revolutions and wars we lost caused us to be separated from normal life convincing more people of our animal nature" 

" Even though years have passed since then and we are now losing to the grimms people convinced of our hostility do not trust us disregarding the facts that both we and they are endangered " 

Says a woman slowly walking around the cage.

" So we protested peacefully forming organisations to fight injustice however our nature gave out and the once peaceful nature of the White fang became a militant and revolutionary extremist group." 

" And again hard times have come for us the insecurity of the people towards us and the fear that each of us is their enemy " 

Says a woman returning to the middle of the cage. 

" The truth, however, is that all this is not our fault either. Shinn dust company and places like these show the true human nature that makes them believe that they are better than us." 

 During her words, no one says anything including myself and the Human part of our group. Everyone is able to understand the seriousness of this place and the meaning of these words. 

 " So in this place let's be ourselves let's not be afraid of our tails, ears let's be proud of who we are let's show our lust let's show our claws and fangs" 

" Let's show our true nature" 

Says the woman as the crowd of faunus give their supportive shouts . 

" That's right wuuuuuuuuu" 

I turn my head and see a screaming drunken Velvet standing on a table. Coco and Yang seem amused ho wever poor Daichi is trying to hold Velvet who almost fell off the table. 

" This cage symbolizes the real fate of us but what happens inside the cage symbolizes what we lock inside ourselves " 

"So the rules of the cage should remain the same, but today we are changing the rules a little, because in today's case it would be unfair". 

" Someone has come back to us, some remember her and some don't". 

" No matter who she is or where she comes from those who know then they know the white wolf" 

Says the woman as Lappland enters the stage. On her head is a mask made like a wolf skull her body is wrapped in tight bandages. Her tail, ears and hair stick out from beneath her costume completely exposed. Faunus in the club who do not know her say nothing, but those who do know her give surprised and excited shouts. 

' Those who are not interested in the white fang will not know Lappland's name and nickname after all, a large number of people here are ordinary faunus with no connection to the underworld.' 

' Those who are surprised are those who are former members of the white fang and heard or knew Lappland during her participation in the organisation so it is the same ones knowing the fact of Lappland's disappearance or alleged death ' 

I think while looking at the monitor. 

" The change in tonight's match will be that it will be a one-on-five match" 

A woman says as five people enter the cage each wearing a mask resembling an animal skull. Their bodies are covered with bandages showing off only their animal features. 

" The rules of the cage are simple no killing no maiming". 

" When it comes to betting everyone who bet on these five in separate matches will get a win if their team beats one Lappy" 

Says a woman walking out of the cage. The crowd unfamiliar with Lappland shouts in excitement at the end they think this is easy money for them . As the woman walks out of the cage I turn my head towards our group. Velvet has fallen asleep on Coco's lap who is looking at the screen with a smile. Daichi seems to be telling Fox what is happening on the screen and Yang. Yang seems to be looking thoughtfully at the screen. 

Sighing I turn my head to the monitor just at the moment when one of the faunus is saying something to Lappland thanks to the speakers and microphone crammed into the cage to prevent giving away the match and other foul everyone can hear their conversation. 

" We haven't seen each other for a long time young lady, if I may have one request please be gentle." 

Says a massive faunus in a bear mask. In response Lappland with a silver glint in the eye sockets of her mask launches herself at the team of five and at the same time the sound of the locking of the cage can be heard.
