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!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAgYeYqLnVXo
The Blonde Girl did a wide left hook smacking the Blackhaired Girl quiet.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA05SQhkySrH
Blonde Girl: SHUT UP RUBY!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAiEh0WFMsFP
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAT8JKSA9qBm
Ruby:Yang…please…stop…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAePctwLmmO5
Yang:Ruby, say one more word and I may just kill you…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAuy22BKJaVs
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…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAjjwKxVqnHf
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAy0X8sqhuaa
I deserve pain…I’m weak…worthless…maybe I should wait for a Grimm to kill me…
325Please respect copyright.PENANA8AxNpwuTKd
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAmSVI27EJDb
Ruby:Who…Who’s there?
325Please respect copyright.PENANA1H8B2OdJbO
???:Calm down, I'm an ally.
325Please respect copyright.PENANABXTQGHQibI
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAl3wUPkjt2f
???:Sorry…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAiJx0bFTmKo
His voice was filled with sympathy. Did he…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAmYvKyhgWZF
???:I saw everything…
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9MgsBSk3Yw
He confirmed my suspicion.
325Please respect copyright.PENANABoX9e1RR3p
???:I am truly sorry I didn’t help…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAzhv7qMSiDa
Ruby:It’s okay, I'm used to it…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAtR1yRY3bfm
My voice trailed off as warmth enveloped my body, a huge weight was suddenly lifted off of me.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2MPhshsvI
???:All done…Try opening your eyes.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAAu1b13WxVm
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?
325Please respect copyright.PENANA6re7fMLXyr
Confusion easily visible on her face.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAHHXwDeg8zH
Fang:Fang Twilight, you?
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0HXqZtrPd2
Ruby:Ruby Rose…
325Please respect copyright.PENANA7Omnkj3xDA
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAvpVxXFMVVq
RubyDid you do all this…Is it your Semblance?
325Please respect copyright.PENANANMcvkDzWss
Fang:I don’t know what a Semblance is, but that is something Ash can do way better than me at.
325Please respect copyright.PENANABUUSqPHuvi
She was obviously startled by that remark.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAjiV8Hd6uE2
Ruby: You don’t know what a Semblance is?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAwU1zyxTmNM
Fang nodded as he watched their surroundings just in case Yang returned. Ruby chuckled, obviously tickled by the remark.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9duK18AbaL
Ruby:A Semblance is like your own superpower; everyone has one.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAtiSxJo9y0f
Fang:Well where I come from we call that our Cores, but only a few of us have them..
325Please respect copyright.PENANADphxxIgWwZ
They stood there talking for a moment before Ruby crumbled to the ground causing Fang to leap back slightly.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAK5N0dJ6xRX
Fang:Ruby…what’s wrong?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAEtCOsJXlrz
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJp1XYkQtfA
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAv88v1TXhil
Ruby:it's…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAXp6mu3EBWX
Fang:Right here.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAh73ve0BccP
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAlHue8on5KX
Ruby: How…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAxKshriNNwS
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAFmFfM4H7Aj
Ruby: Why?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAh1tEyzk7HX
Fang:(Confused) Why what?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAFcnbFEETcq
Ruby:(Yells) WHY DID YOU HELP ME!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAU3UUezXK1t
Fang was taken back by this sudden question.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAZTeWEE405N
Fang:Why not?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAe8RDTUwiPJ
Ruby:Because I’m worthless, a waste of space…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAKPfoNKlyK4
She started crying again, Fang just watched her…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAUfwoJ0X87c
Ruby Pov:
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0RIrTxINcl
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANArQuMGndCXs
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAgUG2dsGNRE
I…
325Please respect copyright.PENANArgi9k8xfJU
Wait, is he hugging me? He’s hugging me…
325Please respect copyright.PENANALYuhJUJKSt
Fang:Shhhh no need to cry…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAIxsvskW9G2
He’s trying to comfort me? Why? He should just leave, wouldn’t it be better that way?
325Please respect copyright.PENANADYlIrxKBKJ
Fang:I don’t know you like that but from what I’ve seen…
325Please respect copyright.PENANA8T32e3m8fY
What is he gonna say?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAyhiCKVpiO8
Fang:You’re probably one of the most strong willed people I’ve ever seen.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAQratKLnVhT
Huh? He thinks I’m strong?
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2wExkuQbVh
Ruby:...
325Please respect copyright.PENANApVA3hVoaNK
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAzLVfGmAmcM
Fang:It’s alright let it out.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAfNwUARa6Ks
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…
325Please respect copyright.PENANApBr4c2BeaL
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…
325Please respect copyright.PENANA7jhrHKikRJ
Fang:(Thought) What am I thinking? Do I like broken girls?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAyxidcdvtJo
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…
