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!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAgDMmI3MD1a
The Blonde Girl did a wide left hook smacking the Blackhaired Girl quiet.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAGa24YnnjgC
Blonde Girl: SHUT UP RUBY!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAvQNSjb6K7H
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAwXVCTguGBu
Ruby:Yang…please…stop…
348Please respect copyright.PENANA1J5uLfb5TN
Yang:Ruby, say one more word and I may just kill you…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAx7kola9HAV
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…
348Please respect copyright.PENANA7bO4aOonE4
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAYs3B1wZe7C
I deserve pain…I’m weak…worthless…maybe I should wait for a Grimm to kill me…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAXtii1HjAGc
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAlrRbcsa9sB
Ruby:Who…Who’s there?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAdBotRCPfls
???:Calm down, I'm an ally.
348Please respect copyright.PENANA8AUnOpx1Kh
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ1HzUntp5
???:Sorry…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAKkNYiVbMHt
His voice was filled with sympathy. Did he…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAeyq3JhC7Ud
???:I saw everything…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAKS1k8rTVwM
He confirmed my suspicion.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAyERjax4ede
???:I am truly sorry I didn’t help…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAJQRIyv9jbz
Ruby:It’s okay, I'm used to it…
348Please respect copyright.PENANA17UE8Kc13v
My voice trailed off as warmth enveloped my body, a huge weight was suddenly lifted off of me.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAGtGgrUapZD
???:All done…Try opening your eyes.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAhEIQO3zZHp
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?
348Please respect copyright.PENANA1M0IZdHP5B
Confusion easily visible on her face.
348Please respect copyright.PENANACSWENzduX5
Fang:Fang Twilight, you?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAIenpMQE8rL
Ruby:Ruby Rose…
348Please respect copyright.PENANA4yU8YTTPcM
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANA1UbZQJVIxB
RubyDid you do all this…Is it your Semblance?
348Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kyr8m0b6k
Fang:I don’t know what a Semblance is, but that is something Ash can do way better than me at.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAyd7eKfCYZR
She was obviously startled by that remark.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAMrvy9Aj3rd
Ruby: You don’t know what a Semblance is?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAkAWbNVCJDY
Fang nodded as he watched their surroundings just in case Yang returned. Ruby chuckled, obviously tickled by the remark.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAjVphMVQpW6
Ruby:A Semblance is like your own superpower; everyone has one.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAeBcTVARlMB
Fang:Well where I come from we call that our Cores, but only a few of us have them..
348Please respect copyright.PENANALTqyoWG5ii
They stood there talking for a moment before Ruby crumbled to the ground causing Fang to leap back slightly.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAZiwdcih6IJ
Fang:Ruby…what’s wrong?
348Please respect copyright.PENANA0pfR1VNSkQ
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAHQSi6kmCsU
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAkuJcCtsnGe
Ruby:it's…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAuWUaFES6cn
Fang:Right here.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAVrRNAIgLTp
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANA2payQmzu49
Ruby: How…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAzJLMH9IaVi
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANATb7JXqLr71
Ruby: Why?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAnEtX2LV54M
Fang:(Confused) Why what?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAiXCmqXg3T4
Ruby:(Yells) WHY DID YOU HELP ME!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAYgF9ION7M6
Fang was taken back by this sudden question.
348Please respect copyright.PENANASGJB0dAonM
Fang:Why not?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAHiqcUbiAta
Ruby:Because I’m worthless, a waste of space…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAURyzjSLtnS
She started crying again, Fang just watched her…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAsiigh8Z19g
Ruby Pov:
348Please respect copyright.PENANAbXGzBI1A5J
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANABQlI31aOrh
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANArBeEIMCNjd
I…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAez574ZaJqQ
Wait, is he hugging me? He’s hugging me…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAlhj6voJP88
Fang:Shhhh no need to cry…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAzIcoQRRPkd
He’s trying to comfort me? Why? He should just leave, wouldn’t it be better that way?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAacBPfWkeap
Fang:I don’t know you like that but from what I’ve seen…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAW73qbz0vPc
What is he gonna say?
348Please respect copyright.PENANA6iFpvgxNEw
Fang:You’re probably one of the most strong willed people I’ve ever seen.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAWILugzyJef
Huh? He thinks I’m strong?
348Please respect copyright.PENANA7k2L6zQP7y
Ruby:...
348Please respect copyright.PENANAMN74OYBbf4
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.
348Please respect copyright.PENANADVqJDwk1Z4
Fang:It’s alright let it out.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAnHJtuz6arP
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…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAlLRL4wCM7Y
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…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAu8zU9zNQUT
Fang:(Thought) What am I thinking? Do I like broken girls?
348Please respect copyright.PENANANazXJSVIng
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…
