Fang rushed to the source of the scream, he discovered the source within a clearing two girls were arguing. One short girl who seemed to be about twelve with reddish black hair, the other was a taller, more broader girl with blonde hair and yellow colored gauntlets covering her wrist and most of her lower arms.

Black Haired:NO PLEASE DON’T!
346Please respect copyright.PENANA2PRG73PE30
The Blonde Girl did a wide left hook smacking the Blackhaired Girl quiet.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAUSUTZbbnkr
Blonde Girl: SHUT UP RUBY!
346Please respect copyright.PENANAaCZpDSQz4O
Her voice held a large mass of venom. Fang bit down on his tongue as he watched the Redhead Girl who was apparently named Ruby lay on the ground, tears streaming down from her eyes, a bruise already forming over her left eye.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAba0flGJIUU
Ruby:Yang…please…stop…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAa9LHWzLGcU
Yang:Ruby, say one more word and I may just kill you…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAjhYotruue5
Fang looked on as Yang continued to beat on Ruby, each hit causing more and more bile to rise to his throat. This went on for a couple more minutes before Yang eventually walked off laughing leaving a bruised and crying Ruby to pick herself up. Fang sighed as he disappeared…

Ruby Pov:
It hurts,it hurts each hit, each foul word caused by my own sister drove the already intense pain in my heart deeper. No one cares about me…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAxAypQb8iOG
After what seemed like ages Yang finally left, It was hard to breathe. She really messed up my lungs with those punches. With a painful deep breath I sat up, tears, which have been falling for quite some time now, continued to pour from my eyes. One of my eyes wouldn’t open, probably swollen. A sharp pain in my wrist caused me to wince as a recently self- inflicted wound opened up.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAEP9NsXTDa5
I deserve pain…I’m weak…worthless…maybe I should wait for a Grimm to kill me…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAW9zFAz6l6Z
A shade of blue crosses my teary vision. Who was that? it was so fast, I couldn’t make out if it was human or a new type of Grimm.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAIzfxTyVOYU
Ruby:Who…Who’s there?
346Please respect copyright.PENANA71Eul4GXVG
???:Calm down, I'm an ally.
346Please respect copyright.PENANA12lWbnmX7x
I had no choice but to trust him and my eyes were basically rendered useless. Relaxing my body I felt a cold hand gently touch my cheek sending a shiver through my body.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAvdYKNXf3so
???:Sorry…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAHGQRmF9ol2
His voice was filled with sympathy. Did he…
346Please respect copyright.PENANANKt4mTdAD1
???:I saw everything…
346Please respect copyright.PENANASB7IK39u8N
He confirmed my suspicion.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAJx2CUAgyeb
???:I am truly sorry I didn’t help…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAJrgx4oKB6h
Ruby:It’s okay, I'm used to it…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAIhJPye4cQP
My voice trailed off as warmth enveloped my body, a huge weight was suddenly lifted off of me.
346Please respect copyright.PENANA1utXwGeU1y
???:All done…Try opening your eyes.
346Please respect copyright.PENANADe8wqYcuAE
Doing as I was instructed I opened my bruised eye, it easily opened, clearing out the blur revealing a boy with azure colored eyes and dark blue hair.

Ruby:Who are you?
346Please respect copyright.PENANA7w7rcKLNtS
Confusion easily visible on her face.
346Please respect copyright.PENANABm45epDl56
Fang:Fang Twilight, you?
346Please respect copyright.PENANAjxOquZTNNm
Ruby:Ruby Rose…
346Please respect copyright.PENANACZtR7yWOot
Fang stood up with a hand outstretched, Ruby eyed it for a moment wondering if her wounds would allow her to move. She looked at her hand, the bleeding had somehow stopped, her lungs actually felt lighter it was almost as if all the pain had suddenly left her body.
346Please respect copyright.PENANANb7AdAYlQR
RubyDid you do all this…Is it your Semblance?
346Please respect copyright.PENANAWfC54GMgwy
Fang:I don’t know what a Semblance is, but that is something Ash can do way better than me at.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAWBtGCqXRls
She was obviously startled by that remark.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAh0LaxDwtsw
Ruby: You don’t know what a Semblance is?
346Please respect copyright.PENANAFiCXdBt8Rp
Fang nodded as he watched their surroundings just in case Yang returned. Ruby chuckled, obviously tickled by the remark.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAKdgv7maPXC
Ruby:A Semblance is like your own superpower; everyone has one.
346Please respect copyright.PENANA8FBSClHhyD
Fang:Well where I come from we call that our Cores, but only a few of us have them..
346Please respect copyright.PENANA9bVOwU1FSE
They stood there talking for a moment before Ruby crumbled to the ground causing Fang to leap back slightly.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAfe2pPlMbIW
Fang:Ruby…what’s wrong?
346Please respect copyright.PENANAkCnlDyu8CW
Ruby didn’t speak, she just sat there panting as she reached up to her neck Fang caught a glimpse of it, a shock collar and it was active. Fang sat down next to Ruby slowly reaching for the collar; she was too busy dealing with the tingly feeling shooting through her body to notice, all she knew was that the pain suddenly disappeared.
346Please respect copyright.PENANADy4kyeS9Ip
She sat there releasing multiple shallow breaths and tears streaming down the side of her face. After a moment she reached a hand up to her neck to find the collar gone.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAbkwFHgQUAW
Ruby:it's…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAswNFxrydcU
Fang:Right here.
346Please respect copyright.PENANATD7QyrYE7j
Ruby looked up to find the collar that caused her a great amount of pain and discomfort in Fang’s hand, the light still glaring green.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAgvoSDrXP8E
Ruby: How…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAY4aFYazDbS
She didn’t feel him remove it. Fang threw the collar into the air with a swift movement, a sword materialized on his side as he unsheathed the blade, slicing the collar in half. Both pieces hit the grass without making a sound.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAxI1kLW7Qj1
Ruby: Why?
346Please respect copyright.PENANAPrFh3kdQTa
Fang:(Confused) Why what?
346Please respect copyright.PENANAyVXN7dEKwX
Ruby:(Yells) WHY DID YOU HELP ME!
346Please respect copyright.PENANAXdoRqUADcG
Fang was taken back by this sudden question.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAtVj75mnKeF
Fang:Why not?
346Please respect copyright.PENANA74yyzBMoIO
Ruby:Because I’m worthless, a waste of space…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAmGZh5dfULJ
She started crying again, Fang just watched her…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAoQTydgZBQP
Ruby Pov:
346Please respect copyright.PENANA4g8uVTwmFw
Images of my family before my mother died flashed in my mind. We were always so happy. I was still too young to remember much but the stuff I do remember was enough to make me long for the past.
346Please respect copyright.PENANA5YWiIKKT3d
I’m so weak…I deserve to be hurt…Fang’s probably gonna leave as well after all I’m good for is making people hate me. I yelled at someone who just tried to help me. All I could do was turn my worthless face away from him as I cried.
346Please respect copyright.PENANABsAdWbBYUm
I…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAK8Wdi8Rxxo
Wait, is he hugging me? He’s hugging me…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAr4bqg9zt1Z
Fang:Shhhh no need to cry…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAopuPbXydM7
He’s trying to comfort me? Why? He should just leave, wouldn’t it be better that way?
346Please respect copyright.PENANARX2Uu6zke0
Fang:I don’t know you like that but from what I’ve seen…
346Please respect copyright.PENANA1bmgi63LLg
What is he gonna say?
346Please respect copyright.PENANACav2lqISj1
Fang:You’re probably one of the most strong willed people I’ve ever seen.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAWKZCXXDlcm
Huh? He thinks I’m strong?
346Please respect copyright.PENANAhyVklEiaIo
Ruby:...
346Please respect copyright.PENANA74EK7PurFS
My tears streamed down even harder now it was almost as if all the weight on my shoulders were being crushed underneath his kindness.I tightened my grasp on his shirt, I couldn’t stop crying, it only came harder.
346Please respect copyright.PENANAKjwdd12sAY
Fang:It’s alright let it out.
346Please respect copyright.PENANA61TMxc01JS
He’s comforting me. No one has ever done that for me, not even my own sister. Not since my new step-mother showed up…It’s all her fault she lied to me, she was the one that tore my family apart, SHE’S THE DISGRACE…
346Please respect copyright.PENANA20OfWRNW10
I gripped the sleeve of the gentle arm wrapped around my neck as the endless stream of tears continued to pour.

Fang could feel Ruby going limp in his arms. He looked down at her, she was lightly sleeping in his arms. She was actually kinda cute…
346Please respect copyright.PENANAM1t6gNlrHv
Fang:(Thought) What am I thinking? Do I like broken girls?
346Please respect copyright.PENANASYXdzbeCpc
He carefully set Ruby on the ground as he stood up. There were no energy signals near him so he decided to set up a house here. Night was already breaking over the trees as Fang’s hair and eyes flared cyan, he pressed both his palms to the ground…
