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!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAfX0dK3Tpoy
The Blonde Girl did a wide left hook smacking the Blackhaired Girl quiet.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAQ93wyFhKjr
Blonde Girl: SHUT UP RUBY!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAYDoWHMzFDp
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAeUj5kAWi7S
Ruby:Yang…please…stop…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAmwULhq4ye0
Yang:Ruby, say one more word and I may just kill you…
294Please respect copyright.PENANA0SXvUFgakz
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…
294Please respect copyright.PENANArazYVO6Wyx
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAlpTImn2tr5
I deserve pain…I’m weak…worthless…maybe I should wait for a Grimm to kill me…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAihz9NiYUnB
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAoyiTmVbn51
Ruby:Who…Who’s there?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAu7ngDK1ejA
???:Calm down, I'm an ally.
294Please respect copyright.PENANACGsr6vHL8L
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANADB2bwOSrcx
???:Sorry…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAuLQVFcWhiM
His voice was filled with sympathy. Did he…
294Please respect copyright.PENANALLOP3hjkTJ
???:I saw everything…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAMnyqKodNwx
He confirmed my suspicion.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAwIhQVvcVG7
???:I am truly sorry I didn’t help…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAEO5ddQvGk0
Ruby:It’s okay, I'm used to it…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAG72vIBWYM0
My voice trailed off as warmth enveloped my body, a huge weight was suddenly lifted off of me.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAiIa8CVBf7K
???:All done…Try opening your eyes.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAVUNL4ebD7q
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?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAhR1iaWVMnH
Confusion easily visible on her face.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAETh75W1Bgm
Fang:Fang Twilight, you?
294Please respect copyright.PENANARJz7JFmvJc
Ruby:Ruby Rose…
294Please respect copyright.PENANA22KvhffGSU
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANALccJLYxRJU
RubyDid you do all this…Is it your Semblance?
294Please respect copyright.PENANA4zcqa3oDmd
Fang:I don’t know what a Semblance is, but that is something Ash can do way better than me at.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAchwVsfHNkg
She was obviously startled by that remark.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAWbJHKzIh0Z
Ruby: You don’t know what a Semblance is?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAuibVSEYfA6
Fang nodded as he watched their surroundings just in case Yang returned. Ruby chuckled, obviously tickled by the remark.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAtxWKDA7G11
Ruby:A Semblance is like your own superpower; everyone has one.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAPB2XB82Bi4
Fang:Well where I come from we call that our Cores, but only a few of us have them..
294Please respect copyright.PENANAk6mROcUqgX
They stood there talking for a moment before Ruby crumbled to the ground causing Fang to leap back slightly.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAZsb6Lf6U01
Fang:Ruby…what’s wrong?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAkM9BDRGUbU
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAa2Xlv3rEsn
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAIIBA16SQEx
Ruby:it's…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAS2WnDyFlds
Fang:Right here.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAdAOCxDHuGs
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAOfzcbcdFEk
Ruby: How…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAZltZvUQslh
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAEryyG29ynE
Ruby: Why?
294Please respect copyright.PENANARoFBQLkdtu
Fang:(Confused) Why what?
294Please respect copyright.PENANABAxTnPYGQ7
Ruby:(Yells) WHY DID YOU HELP ME!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAllzF0BxNYr
Fang was taken back by this sudden question.
294Please respect copyright.PENANALbk75Cv55y
Fang:Why not?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAwoPjKYPEzT
Ruby:Because I’m worthless, a waste of space…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAyGm0n46AhA
She started crying again, Fang just watched her…
294Please respect copyright.PENANACbHs8wcj74
Ruby Pov:
294Please respect copyright.PENANAU1k42IH1jG
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAepnfAUZO7V
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAj3vRRwwaMl
I…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAPNjVQAz1Qh
Wait, is he hugging me? He’s hugging me…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAE6nwC0dF4f
Fang:Shhhh no need to cry…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAyyDS7eVMMj
He’s trying to comfort me? Why? He should just leave, wouldn’t it be better that way?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAhoaxbT0dkl
Fang:I don’t know you like that but from what I’ve seen…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAdkHgsWnixD
What is he gonna say?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAjUFK5gNywi
Fang:You’re probably one of the most strong willed people I’ve ever seen.
294Please respect copyright.PENANA7kcDuipX4G
Huh? He thinks I’m strong?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAEPr6ccsybV
Ruby:...
294Please respect copyright.PENANA8e7tyhMaLl
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAWRzwXTjHM9
Fang:It’s alright let it out.
294Please respect copyright.PENANA2kMkMLrU5Q
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…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAcsyYiyLJNB
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…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAT9P6Dvwwd0
Fang:(Thought) What am I thinking? Do I like broken girls?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAz7GqoA9FOe
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…
