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!
397Please respect copyright.PENANAMs3SkA21BD
The Blonde Girl did a wide left hook smacking the Blackhaired Girl quiet.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAjK13e09grC
Blonde Girl: SHUT UP RUBY!
397Please respect copyright.PENANAh2lUyGqID1
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.

Ruby:Yang…please…stop…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAJKKR3zLcb9
Yang:Ruby, say one more word and I may just kill you…
397Please respect copyright.PENANARR5buIbRKR
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…
397Please respect copyright.PENANANyVgej9aOc
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.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5vlD82WLK
I deserve pain…I’m weak…worthless…maybe I should wait for a Grimm to kill me…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAHKNApDyW56
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.
397Please respect copyright.PENANA5qmyKyI9DI
Ruby:Who…Who’s there?
397Please respect copyright.PENANAtMHhNdba7l
???:Calm down, I'm an ally.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAb7f1O462RU
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.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAbpttseUI6p
???:Sorry…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAaRscHqS1SX
His voice was filled with sympathy. Did he…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAnvvs7myiDs
???:I saw everything…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAaLmBAaioPF
He confirmed my suspicion.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAD72gQ6ApJE
???:I am truly sorry I didn’t help…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9GoLTcWHY
Ruby:It’s okay, I'm used to it…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAoPwcAlyloM
My voice trailed off as warmth enveloped my body, a huge weight was suddenly lifted off of me.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAVW9VokVJV6
???:All done…Try opening your eyes.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYj2gf6qqBo
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?
397Please respect copyright.PENANApiMjR6IOtx
Confusion easily visible on her face.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAjEpSyqsEp9
Fang:Fang Twilight, you?
397Please respect copyright.PENANAkPDbSvTmgt
Ruby:Ruby Rose…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAlVmEUHx2Ed
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.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAZwtAeJMLsz
RubyDid you do all this…Is it your Semblance?
397Please respect copyright.PENANAsM6unx3L5P
Fang:I don’t know what a Semblance is, but that is something Ash can do way better than me at.
397Please respect copyright.PENANASpnAf6NvdM
She was obviously startled by that remark.
397Please respect copyright.PENANA1gLYi9RsDI
Ruby: You don’t know what a Semblance is?
397Please respect copyright.PENANAgOzWGqXQfy
Fang nodded as he watched their surroundings just in case Yang returned. Ruby chuckled, obviously tickled by the remark.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGjRAmsz171
Ruby:A Semblance is like your own superpower; everyone has one.
397Please respect copyright.PENANA50eDykoKTc
Fang:Well where I come from we call that our Cores, but only a few of us have them..
397Please respect copyright.PENANAxe18C2wXn0
They stood there talking for a moment before Ruby crumbled to the ground causing Fang to leap back slightly.
397Please respect copyright.PENANALoI2Fiva3O
Fang:Ruby…what’s wrong?
397Please respect copyright.PENANAmHOp0upPrt
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.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAmv5nu9yVsR
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.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAylbZlMRCqB
Ruby:it's…
397Please respect copyright.PENANALqoFXknUvH
Fang:Right here.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWhTSzuwJh5
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.
397Please respect copyright.PENANASGtigUPPMY
Ruby: How…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAFnH4yBICGy
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.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAG3hU2LATlE
Ruby: Why?
397Please respect copyright.PENANAle0Rhj8QR4
Fang:(Confused) Why what?
397Please respect copyright.PENANATKcsgU3N8M
Ruby:(Yells) WHY DID YOU HELP ME!
397Please respect copyright.PENANA4nhy2Lxy8I
Fang was taken back by this sudden question.
397Please respect copyright.PENANABdyRHdAdXd
Fang:Why not?
397Please respect copyright.PENANAnaH6qbEdu2
Ruby:Because I’m worthless, a waste of space…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAQMrzR4aRJr
She started crying again, Fang just watched her…

Ruby Pov:
397Please respect copyright.PENANAfuHy5Eua3b
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.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAgLhdA3qM1A
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.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAXBJToiHzjb
I…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAWty5Mgt9wt
Wait, is he hugging me? He’s hugging me…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAhZMHuGmED1
Fang:Shhhh no need to cry…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAoBI1EqxpY2
He’s trying to comfort me? Why? He should just leave, wouldn’t it be better that way?
397Please respect copyright.PENANAoEEKZZp2km
Fang:I don’t know you like that but from what I’ve seen…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAM4odGAM3wo
What is he gonna say?
397Please respect copyright.PENANAvzLuulLwng
Fang:You’re probably one of the most strong willed people I’ve ever seen.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAAR9I0Zc40C
Huh? He thinks I’m strong?
397Please respect copyright.PENANAmpsAgSyN1H
Ruby:...
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYrWkqDrEKq
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.
397Please respect copyright.PENANAjr4cP8xaH1
Fang:It’s alright let it out.
397Please respect copyright.PENANA5yg0YpQgnM
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…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAxWCgGkbvy1
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…
397Please respect copyright.PENANAbhiPViquej
Fang:(Thought) What am I thinking? Do I like broken girls?
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYwiAJnlUjp
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…
