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!
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BnWDceCNu
The Blonde Girl did a wide left hook smacking the Blackhaired Girl quiet.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBehDQiiI3J
Blonde Girl: SHUT UP RUBY!
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiCM5TbuA5
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…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWvqOma9jK
Yang:Ruby, say one more word and I may just kill you…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3xMaArGqv
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…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeaJ5Vejwo
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu4TK90b4U
I deserve pain…I’m weak…worthless…maybe I should wait for a Grimm to kill me…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVuXffAIEt
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHJIYwz9tB
Ruby:Who…Who’s there?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBHKIQsBM8
???:Calm down, I'm an ally.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZPXKXl32r
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx85w3QprM
???:Sorry…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrQtmm3lZE
His voice was filled with sympathy. Did he…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGVP06m1to
???:I saw everything…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx1azrancU
He confirmed my suspicion.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZi4PYAFVR
???:I am truly sorry I didn’t help…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa5eD7tsn4
Ruby:It’s okay, I'm used to it…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gFQsjCD7g
My voice trailed off as warmth enveloped my body, a huge weight was suddenly lifted off of me.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx3NzoQldm
???:All done…Try opening your eyes.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFLuwiypxA
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?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuuWUpfsPq
Confusion easily visible on her face.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlidHV1cTQ
Fang:Fang Twilight, you?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTE9HbMQOq
Ruby:Ruby Rose…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFauIxHjdZ
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6kC1Enbim
RubyDid you do all this…Is it your Semblance?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NEaFVUpkx
Fang:I don’t know what a Semblance is, but that is something Ash can do way better than me at.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS33DwSD2Br
She was obviously startled by that remark.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz83xzwi6x1
Ruby: You don’t know what a Semblance is?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUsKqcVofF
Fang nodded as he watched their surroundings just in case Yang returned. Ruby chuckled, obviously tickled by the remark.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFe3cAZWdO
Ruby:A Semblance is like your own superpower; everyone has one.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMjnNPm5Pc
Fang:Well where I come from we call that our Cores, but only a few of us have them..
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HOrBxLKt0
They stood there talking for a moment before Ruby crumbled to the ground causing Fang to leap back slightly.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8fcejMA5B
Fang:Ruby…what’s wrong?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wPKqpw5rh
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C1iXAn7vC
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6OBUrIQvR
Ruby:it's…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IbxbB2oXX
Fang:Right here.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEUVDHdTUY
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqDoBOTwH8
Ruby: How…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxleQriFpf9
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIqARYBeKf
Ruby: Why?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF9BYPj53y
Fang:(Confused) Why what?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP9bX3C0P8
Ruby:(Yells) WHY DID YOU HELP ME!
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RqGHqfkaN
Fang was taken back by this sudden question.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJUwhB80xS
Fang:Why not?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Bi7RMH33
Ruby:Because I’m worthless, a waste of space…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OjtcIvim3
She started crying again, Fang just watched her…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk680hMwYm1
Ruby Pov:
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC5eKZ7EGp
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ny4mIkp9
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYxpo7j7WT
I…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQJIAlNWlp
Wait, is he hugging me? He’s hugging me…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGWZARxHqp
Fang:Shhhh no need to cry…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEqp0C2ljb
He’s trying to comfort me? Why? He should just leave, wouldn’t it be better that way?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVQb0dFhkz
Fang:I don’t know you like that but from what I’ve seen…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArqzeo7JPD
What is he gonna say?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OPIPYL62U
Fang:You’re probably one of the most strong willed people I’ve ever seen.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyspLXexxq
Huh? He thinks I’m strong?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrifvIHJPH
Ruby:...
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlkaQxJZtU
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGram0umpu9
Fang:It’s alright let it out.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr56F1JlvT
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…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpmMV5KEn9
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…
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tOMF1MTWB
Fang:(Thought) What am I thinking? Do I like broken girls?
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKVgm8Ft7S
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…
