Chapter 25: Tattoos part 2

Roman and Ruby made it out of the elevator and entered an enormous plain hallway, with multiple doors on both sides of the walls. Ruby gulped, not liking the lack of color and bad vibes the area was giving off. It made her feel slightly insecure and small being out of her comfort zone. "Red it's okay.. It's just a hallway. Is there something wrong?" The hybrid asked sweetly, he could smell her fear and anxiety. Roman grasped Rubies hand lightly squeezing it. He loved how soft her hands were, they resembled the feeling of Smooth rose petals.

"It just feels weird here is all. This whole place is just giving off bad vibes and I really don't know why I'm feeling like this Wolfy." Ruby admitted what she was feeling. Her stomach slightly turning.

"You're supposed to be the fearless leader Red. I'm surprised you're freaking out." The hybrid spoke with a slight smirk. This was the first time Ruby was afraid and admitted it.

"What if this is a trap Wolfy? Then what do we do? I just don't like it here." The red rose scowled up at her lover, she looked so cute when she was scared.

" Red don't forget, we're going into a criminal underworld, of course it's supposed to be creepy. There's nothing but liars, crooks, enemies, villeins and well you get the picture red, you're probably feeling all the negativity. There's nothing but shady business that goes on down here. Just stay on your toes and don't look any of these Jack asses in the eye. Unless you want me to rip out there eyes for looking at my little red rose." Roman snarled. His white fluffy ears went flat against his head at the undesired thought.

"I guess you're right, I didn't think about that. Just don't kill anyone unless you have to..." The red rose said, squeezing Romans hand back. Roman brushed off her unnatural behavior, tugging Ruby along until they reached the end of the hallway, he quickly knocked on a gray rusty door. There was a small window that slid open reviling orange predatory eyes. "Password." The Faunus asked in a wheezy angry voice from the other side. Ruby buried her face in Romans arm. She did not like the way he was looking at them, his voice didn't help the situation.

"Ugh Adam didn't fucking tell me about a damn password.." Roman snapped to himself in frustration. He ran his free hand through his black and white hair. "I don't know..." He snarled.

" How did you get here? You brought an outsider. She reeks of human. Humans don't belong here... I will have to take you in for questioning." The Faunus hissed. He started unlocking all the locks on the door.

"Now you listen here mother Fucker... You have no fucking idea who I am! I am Roman Torchwick! If you so much as lay a finger on my woman and I'll rip your dick off and you'll have to deal with Adam.." Roman growled pushing Ruby behind him. He took off his gloves shoving them in his coat pocket, showing off his long inhuman nails, he let out a roar, scaring Ruby in the process. The hybrid was ready to fight who or whatever was behind the door. He wouldn't let anyone touch his love without putting up a fight.

"The door swung open, a teenage looking fox Faunus dressed in White fang attire stepped out with his battle axe half drawn. He was handsome with long light brown hair, tan skin, Lilith frame, and those sharp orange eyes. The only thing he was missing was a white fang mask. His wheezy aged voice did not fit his appearance to Ruby and Romans astonishment." Wait a minute did you say Torchwick?" The Faunus put his axe down. His eye brow arched in question.

"Yes! Now are you going to fight me or not?" The hybrid asked impatiently questioning the fox.

Torchwick! I'm so sorry Bro! My names Finch. I'm the Faunus Adam Recruited. I'm apart of WOLF too! Oh my bad bro, if I would have known..." He laughed out retracting his weapon and tucking it in his belt.

"Ahh well that explains a lot. You look like a teenager.. And my name is Ruby nice to meet you Finch.." Ruby stated truthfully. She had no idea how old he really was. She extended her hand and finch took it along with Romans in greetings.

"Red don't let your eyes deceive you, he's even older then me." Roman chuckled. He remembered reading Finches file a few days before the operation started. He honestly didn't expect the Faunus to have such a rusty personality.

"Kid don't flatter me I'm literally thirty five." Finch cackled. Ruby just looked at the floor with her cheeks tinted pink with embarrassment.

"Well Finch we need to go to the tattoo shop can you take us there?" Roman asked.

"Yeah of course kids. follow me back this way. And I'm sure my baby Danny will hook you two up with some sweet tats."

"The three made there way through the casino and past a few clubs until they made it to the tattoo parlor. Once they walked in Romans jaw dropped in surprise. The tattoo parlor was nothing like he ever saw before, it was a good sized room filled with tattoo patterns and designs littering the walls and a few chairs and tattoo machines. There were a few Faunus getting tattoos done by two cat Faunus. Drinking vodka near a TV was A deer Faunus with bright neon makeup, long blonde hair, big breasts, short strapless pink dress, thigh highs, and big red pumps trotted over to greet her guests. She leaned over finch and laid a passionate kiss right on him. Once they parted Finch had a bright red tint on his whole face to Rubies amusement, Roman just stared with a disturbed look on his face."This is my girl she'll hook you up. And this is Roman Torchwick and his doll Ruby." Finch introduced the two lovers.

"Oh hey everyone my name is Danny Vanity it's nice to meet you two. I can't wait to start on your tattoos and Might I say your just the cutest little thing Ruby. Is this going to be your first tattoo love?" Danny asked in a masculine yet feminine voice. He was a literal drag queen to Romans horror.

"Yeah I'm really excited to get this done. I want to get my rose emblem on my lower back and Romans emblem on my stomach near my belly button." Ruby said with a smile pulling out a sheet of paper from her skirt pocket and handing it to Danny. She took a look at it with interest, the drawn designs were very detailed and the colors were just right.

"It's so pretty and detailed. Are you sure you want one of them on your lower back? You know that's a tramp stamp right?" Danny asked politely batting her false eyelashes as the red rose. She found it quite funny that Ruby would want her first tattoo there of all places.

"Yes I am absolutely sure. The only person who will see it is my mate and that's why I want his emblem on my stomach. I belong to him regardless of my mark." Ruby smiled at her lover kissing him on the cheek.

"I'll take Rubies emblem too. I want it next to my mothers. If you can put our tattoos in color and I'll pay double." The hybrid said. He was excited to finally have a little piece of Ruby with him at all times besides the link.

"Hehe oh I have to see this. Care if I stick around and watch baby?" Finch asked.

"Yeah you can if you want to keep me and my guests company ." Danny smirked at Finch winking at him.

"Awww you guys make a cute couple!" Ruby cooed. Roman just rolled his red eyes, the situation was making him uncomfortable. He could not understand how Ruby was so chill in front of two gay guys.

"Okay right this way and take a set on the chairs while I make a few notes and start sketching the designs. Danny said as she lead them into a private fancy room in the back of the shop.

-Yangs Mind-

Yang finally woke up again, what must have been the twentieth time. Sheepishly fluttering her fearful purple eyes. The memories of the past few weeks flooding her thoughts. Being trapped in her own mind was destroying her life essence as each week went by. Looking round in the darkness frantically, yang began pulling on the chains that bound her soul in the smallest area of her mind. She was being forced to watch the havoc done to her personal life by a demon. It felt like a nightmare since Yang became an unwilling host for a certain mother of Grimm.

"Ahhhhh Spit Fire your awake again.. You weren't supposed to wake up until your body did my dear. Oh the plans I have for tomorrow..." Salem spoke with a soothing voice. Her pale demented face twisting into a unnatural smirk. Her claws ran across Yangs stomach making her shudder unwillingly.

"Get out of my mind! Get out of my body, damn bitch! I never allowed you to host my body and defile it! Fucking monster!" Yang screamed as she tugged on the black chains trying to break free, Tears brimming her eyes once again. She was referring to her body losing its virginity to Cardin. She was forced to watch and do nothing as Salem defiled her body.

"Oh you're still mad at me for that? Winchester was a very fun pawn to play with. But I still need to use him a little bit longer for another grand prize, that being Roman. Two headed snake is playing house... " Salem laughed grabbing Yangs neck, making her choke. The Mother of Grimm began eagerly feeding on Yangs fear. Her fingers became vains embedding into Yangs neck drinking all her fear and hatred,before letting go of Her neck with a shove. Yang began to sob out and cough."I told you once and I'll tell you again bitch! Leave Ruby alone! Your hurting our relationship! When I'm free I'm coming back to kick your ass!" Yang roared, she officially snapped. The red in her eyes growing in anger.

"Spit fire I'll tell you a little secret... forget your sister, she's betraying you by seeing Roman Torchwick behind your back... She went as far as bonding with him after he became a Faunus... He has no idea that I know about the relationship and neither does she... Cinder has no clue either..." Salem smirked watching Yangs horrified reaction.

"You're lying! Your fucking lying to me! Ruby would never do that!Get the fuck out of me! You monster!" Yang screamed yanking at the chains frantically they began to get tighter drawing blood around her wrists."The more you strain the quicker you'll die.." Salem hackled as she walked out of the part of the brain Yang was chained in, slamming the door as yang continued to struggle and scream in agony. Day by day Yang was starting to lose hope, she didn't know how or why Salem chose her body as a host but she did not like how Salem was destroying her life and there was literally nothing she could do about it.

Well there was the last part to chapter 25. Hopefully the portion with Yang was a twist with extra information on what's wrong with " her" and a foreshadowing of what is to come...
