Wolfsburgs Secret

The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the forest floor as Team RWBY approaches Amy Wolfsburg. Ruby, ever the optimist, grins widely. "Well, hello there!

The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the forest floor as Team RWBY approaches Amy Wolfsburg. Ruby, ever the optimist, grins widely. "Well, hello there! I'm Ruby, and this is my team – Weiss, Blake, and Yang." Amy shifts uncomfortably, her emerald eyes darting between the four huntresses. She clutches the hilt of her rapier, its polished surface glinting in the fading light. "I'm Amy," she replies, her voice barely above a whisper. "Amy Wolfsburg." Blake's golden eyes narrow, focusing on Amy's face. The subtle sharpness of those canine teeth doesn't escape her notice. "Wolfsburg," Blake muses, her voice laced with suspicion. "That's an… unusual name." Weiss steps forward, her expression a mask of aristocratic disdain. "We're on a hunt," she states coolly. "A rather large werewolf has been causing trouble in the area. Have you seen anything?" Amy pales, her hand tightening on her rapier. "A werewolf?" she asks, her voice trembling slightly. "No, I haven't seen anything." Ruby frowns, sensing Amy's unease. "Are you alright? You seem nervous." "I'm fine," Amy insists, forcing a smile. "Just… surprised to hear about a werewolf. This forest is usually so peaceful." Yang raises an eyebrow, her lilac eyes studying Amy intently. "Peaceful? A supply wagon was torn to shreds just this morning. Doesn't sound very peaceful to me." The tension hangs heavy in the air, thick and suffocating. Amy's secret feels like a lead weight in her stomach. She knows she can't hide the truth forever, but the fear of rejection, of being hunted and reviled, keeps her silent. "Listen," Ruby says, her voice softening. "We don't want to scare you. We just want to protect the people of this village. If you see anything, anything at all, please let us know." Amy nods, her heart pounding in her chest. "I will," she promises. "I… I should get going now." As Amy turns to leave, a bloodcurdling howl pierces the twilight. The ground trembles beneath their feet, and a monstrous figure bursts from the trees – a hulking werewolf, its eyes glowing with savage hunger. It lunges directly at Amy! Do you reveal your true nature and fight alongside Team RWBY, or attempt to flee, risking their safety and your own

Team RWBY barely has time to react as the werewolf explodes from the treeline, but Amy´s reaction is unexpected. Instead of fear, a primal defiance flickers in her emerald eyes.

Team RWBY barely has time to react as the werewolf explodes from the treeline, but Amy´s reaction is unexpected. Instead of fear, a primal defiance flickers in her emerald eyes. As Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang raise their weapons, Amy bares her own teeth, a guttural snarl escaping her lips. The werewolf, mid-lunge, freezes. Its glowing eyes widen in what could almost be recognition, then stark terror. With a whimper that belies its monstrous size, it turns tail and vanishes back into the dense undergrowth. The silence that follows is thick with confusion. Team RWBY lowers their weapons, their gazes fixed on Amy. Ruby is the first to break the silence. ´What… what was that?´ she asks, her voice a mix of awe and bewilderment. Amy, still breathing heavily, wipes a bead of sweat from her forehead. The adrenaline slowly begins to fade, replaced by a growing sense of dread. She had hoped to keep her secret hidden, but now… now there’s no going back. ´Glad I was born with these teeth,´ she says, forcing a casual tone. ´Would´ve been hard to survive out here if I wasn’t.´ Weiss steps forward, her blue eyes narrowed in suspicion. ´What exactly are you saying? Are you implying…?´ Before Weiss can finish her question, Blake steps closer and examines Amy´s canine teeth. Amy’s pulse quickens as Blake´s eyes narrowed, confirming her suspicion. The gears start turning in her head as she tries to find a way to ask Amy privately and to not make a scene. Yang studies Amy, her expression thoughtful. ´So, you’re saying you scared it off because you’re… what? Part wolf?´ Amy hesitates, then nods slowly. ´I… I’m a werewolf,´ she admits, the words barely audible. ´But I’m not like that thing. I can control it… most of the time. I only transform during the day.´ Ruby stares at Amy, her silver eyes wide with wonder. ´Wow, that’s… amazing! So, you can turn into a wolf? That’s so cool!´ Weiss, however, remains skeptical. ´A werewolf? Right here? That’s… concerning. We need to report this to the authorities.´ ´No!´ Amy protests, her voice rising in panic. ´Please, don’t! I haven’t done anything wrong. I’m not a threat.´ Blake steps in, placing a hand on Weiss´s shoulder. ´Let’s not jump to conclusions, Weiss. She helped us. Maybe we should hear her out.´ The huntresses consider Amy´s words. The weight of her admission hangs heavily in the air and forces them to make a hard decision. The first step is to understand her intentions, whether she is an enemy or just someone who they can trust. Now, Team RWBY has a hard decision to make, can they trust Amy or hand her over to the authorities?

Amy closes her eyes for a moment, the weight of their judgment pressing down on her. She slowly backs away, her hand instinctively reaching for the hilt of her rapier. ´I understand if you don’t trust me,´ she says, her voice barely a whisper. ´But please, just listen.´ She takes a deep breath, gathering her courage. ´Though I am a werewo...

Amy closes her eyes for a moment, the weight of their judgment pressing down on her. She slowly backs away, her hand instinctively reaching for the hilt of her rapier. ´I understand if you don’t trust me,´ she says, her voice barely a whisper. ´But please, just listen.´ She takes a deep breath, gathering her courage. ´Though I am a werewolf, I’m very different. There aren’t many werewolves like me. The other werewolves, they are more beast-like. Such example is the one that we just witnessed.´ She pauses, her eyes scanning the surrounding forest, as if expecting another attack. ´This forest isn’t safe at all. There are three werewolf types here. Those that are beast-like, those that are rare like myself, or Bloodlust Brown werewolves. They, however, are only seen during the night as they blend in during the day, kind of like me, but they feed on everything, even on bones. Their teeth… it can crush anything.´ Ruby’s eyes widen in fascination. ´Three types of werewolves? Wow! It’s like a whole ecosystem of werewolves!´ Weiss remains unconvinced, her arms crossed tightly. ´And what makes you so different from these… Bloodlust Brown werewolves? Why should we believe you’re not a threat?´ Amy sighs, the frustration evident in her voice. ´I don’t crave flesh and blood. I eat normal food. I don’t lose control when I transform, at least not anymore. It took me years to learn how to control my wolf form. I only transform during the day. I hunt Grimm, just like you. I protect people.´ Yang steps forward, her lilac eyes meeting Amy’s. ´So, you’re like a… good werewolf? Like a superhero or something?´ Amy manages a weak smile. ´I wouldn’t go that far. But I try to use my abilities for good. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s the truth.´ Blake, who has been silent throughout the exchange, finally speaks. ´If what you say is true, then why were you so hesitant to tell us? Why did you hide your identity?´ Amy’s gaze drops to the ground, her voice filled with shame. ´Because I was afraid,´ she admits. ´I’ve seen how people react to werewolves. They’re hunted, feared, and reviled. I didn’t want to be treated like a monster.´ The atmosphere softens, a flicker of understanding passing through Team RWBY’s eyes. They now understand that Amy is more of an ally than an enemy. However, their team can sense that there is something that she isn´t telling them. Something big and life threatening.
