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!
323Please respect copyright.PENANA8PC4nMUzkS
The Blonde Girl did a wide left hook smacking the Blackhaired Girl quiet.
323Please respect copyright.PENANA2WkiWvWlpD
Blonde Girl: SHUT UP RUBY!
323Please respect copyright.PENANA4VBG2m82cV
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAXT8WTzRtz0
Ruby:Yang…please…stop…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAFvT6FhrrKP
Yang:Ruby, say one more word and I may just kill you…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAk2OujPmF5j
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…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAEk7oC7PH5J
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANA0l5BC9Aa7e
I deserve pain…I’m weak…worthless…maybe I should wait for a Grimm to kill me…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAqHOXzdQDoL
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8sCyqPqnw
Ruby:Who…Who’s there?
323Please respect copyright.PENANAj1kDlQbEsm
???:Calm down, I'm an ally.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAo40OuFZ13Z
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANA8WuqKx7kj5
???:Sorry…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAUctF3DZzjJ
His voice was filled with sympathy. Did he…
323Please respect copyright.PENANABt2h2iLHsU
???:I saw everything…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAk1wzwKSXOY
He confirmed my suspicion.
323Please respect copyright.PENANA8rSLujWbV2
???:I am truly sorry I didn’t help…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAKsl4TwMrim
Ruby:It’s okay, I'm used to it…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAxgsAuswLOV
My voice trailed off as warmth enveloped my body, a huge weight was suddenly lifted off of me.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAwSgkSw3XCN
???:All done…Try opening your eyes.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5C7EXeQ1v
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?
323Please respect copyright.PENANAJYGGJEsMQ9
Confusion easily visible on her face.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAzqTKXqQLs1
Fang:Fang Twilight, you?
323Please respect copyright.PENANAMduVtsqTOK
Ruby:Ruby Rose…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAStmilxZQdx
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANA6WVcUIJSxc
RubyDid you do all this…Is it your Semblance?
323Please respect copyright.PENANAu0053j5Gfj
Fang:I don’t know what a Semblance is, but that is something Ash can do way better than me at.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAsRKWzp1Pcx
She was obviously startled by that remark.
323Please respect copyright.PENANApoS0lVtzhm
Ruby: You don’t know what a Semblance is?
323Please respect copyright.PENANAyCGnIQQssV
Fang nodded as he watched their surroundings just in case Yang returned. Ruby chuckled, obviously tickled by the remark.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAe5JfTWKzzN
Ruby:A Semblance is like your own superpower; everyone has one.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAcN5SXmSqbT
Fang:Well where I come from we call that our Cores, but only a few of us have them..
323Please respect copyright.PENANAczJyLDg4Tr
They stood there talking for a moment before Ruby crumbled to the ground causing Fang to leap back slightly.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAuL8DFRlJan
Fang:Ruby…what’s wrong?
323Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZHDwrO1PO
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAwoBFEovjpw
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAdI9OO56Bth
Ruby:it's…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAFFLHFKQvEd
Fang:Right here.
323Please respect copyright.PENANALPiSl38joD
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAszs1Ulgn3k
Ruby: How…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAayya7xt0fU
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAHFIEU7WplQ
Ruby: Why?
323Please respect copyright.PENANAXTiKxaZ70Y
Fang:(Confused) Why what?
323Please respect copyright.PENANArVdLtgPR75
Ruby:(Yells) WHY DID YOU HELP ME!
323Please respect copyright.PENANAVilG9BpRPB
Fang was taken back by this sudden question.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAcc7IMJaiIw
Fang:Why not?
323Please respect copyright.PENANA76oT1Jc14A
Ruby:Because I’m worthless, a waste of space…
323Please respect copyright.PENANADv36MNgcmW
She started crying again, Fang just watched her…
323Please respect copyright.PENANArYrxGzZuVh
Ruby Pov:
323Please respect copyright.PENANAhzWXnAZbeg
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANANiYUbEHXPd
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAsBYWyjqvYf
I…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAAJLJ1erXPx
Wait, is he hugging me? He’s hugging me…
323Please respect copyright.PENANA56sZt5UChx
Fang:Shhhh no need to cry…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAlkkiNOikNp
He’s trying to comfort me? Why? He should just leave, wouldn’t it be better that way?
323Please respect copyright.PENANAlTddrlapel
Fang:I don’t know you like that but from what I’ve seen…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAekCwgxUv3N
What is he gonna say?
323Please respect copyright.PENANAZpvxGWOSbv
Fang:You’re probably one of the most strong willed people I’ve ever seen.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAEu7usmHAub
Huh? He thinks I’m strong?
323Please respect copyright.PENANALwbjAwouhR
Ruby:...
323Please respect copyright.PENANAVWSRuWUD84
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.
323Please respect copyright.PENANAGCzmbm9Izz
Fang:It’s alright let it out.
323Please respect copyright.PENANARXUSXZ3vs6
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…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAknefVCvV6J
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…
323Please respect copyright.PENANAThkqH1p7gG
Fang:(Thought) What am I thinking? Do I like broken girls?
323Please respect copyright.PENANAzgB6E3ORbK
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…
