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!
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lo652CCtj
The Blonde Girl did a wide left hook smacking the Blackhaired Girl quiet.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNi9wHC9d2
Blonde Girl: SHUT UP RUBY!
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mc7VpJMTU
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZsdjF62qW
Ruby:Yang…please…stop…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExxjmTwSzW
Yang:Ruby, say one more word and I may just kill you…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyPJ0Q8Rwt
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…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcwAq45w8X
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfXbGE5Zyb
I deserve pain…I’m weak…worthless…maybe I should wait for a Grimm to kill me…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5erRSmEQj6
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gOolvAAUx
Ruby:Who…Who’s there?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltwAESmWAt
???:Calm down, I'm an ally.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxNMXnBaCl
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1WjgyDM61
???:Sorry…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAckU4MooQ
His voice was filled with sympathy. Did he…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48uvCZBgQu
???:I saw everything…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs4iJJjAOS
He confirmed my suspicion.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuJROa5fd8
???:I am truly sorry I didn’t help…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIlvXP9viL
Ruby:It’s okay, I'm used to it…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq2kgc65Cq
My voice trailed off as warmth enveloped my body, a huge weight was suddenly lifted off of me.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUxDn2BLhe
???:All done…Try opening your eyes.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKpIKf5A8P
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?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF6Mrb0LhT
Confusion easily visible on her face.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys7kOAlfgj
Fang:Fang Twilight, you?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRFr1g4rFy
Ruby:Ruby Rose…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIIsse3RHw
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdv7RzIfXJ
RubyDid you do all this…Is it your Semblance?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOgzewpZJw
Fang:I don’t know what a Semblance is, but that is something Ash can do way better than me at.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKXXZLTDKi
She was obviously startled by that remark.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsg5pWsA4f
Ruby: You don’t know what a Semblance is?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZeAYcH69G
Fang nodded as he watched their surroundings just in case Yang returned. Ruby chuckled, obviously tickled by the remark.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBcpXNdGq0
Ruby:A Semblance is like your own superpower; everyone has one.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhQ4cy6low
Fang:Well where I come from we call that our Cores, but only a few of us have them..
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tOriHWoTs
They stood there talking for a moment before Ruby crumbled to the ground causing Fang to leap back slightly.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wSQTggqoq
Fang:Ruby…what’s wrong?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF3qAWm9qr
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRkqXLlDxr
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rnnVMnFct
Ruby:it's…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadSXtWBxON
Fang:Right here.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIqNzsj9eL
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAAa9xKlAV
Ruby: How…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfJVI72kBk
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq8G6ny3R5
Ruby: Why?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxfidcLiOW
Fang:(Confused) Why what?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0iMO4T52I
Ruby:(Yells) WHY DID YOU HELP ME!
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlFb85YfDd
Fang was taken back by this sudden question.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMPNFwqo8r
Fang:Why not?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNAe6T8WkK
Ruby:Because I’m worthless, a waste of space…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop7aNilbtQ
She started crying again, Fang just watched her…

Ruby Pov:
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qwzpsatdm
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMzP09uOws
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvyA6HesuE
I…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1cQBEFrkd
Wait, is he hugging me? He’s hugging me…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIT7KyQ27f
Fang:Shhhh no need to cry…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Bu4w69S3
He’s trying to comfort me? Why? He should just leave, wouldn’t it be better that way?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5fCBu12aZ
Fang:I don’t know you like that but from what I’ve seen…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGB89FEBtK
What is he gonna say?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg88P5HOfiJ
Fang:You’re probably one of the most strong willed people I’ve ever seen.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUSWrB4h1D
Huh? He thinks I’m strong?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PfUWsmCCW
Ruby:...
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigSw1fsvLf
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.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ohjKvFX0E
Fang:It’s alright let it out.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJavevMpW4
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…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUWVHkLBdx
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…
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGyyhDARRa
Fang:(Thought) What am I thinking? Do I like broken girls?
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImAhBFoTGv
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…
