Once upon a time in a far away world too far for anyone to travel unless they knew the way of course there lived a people not unlike are own but much different you see dear reader the people who lived in this land consisted of humans, like us, elves, dragons, who lived outside of human and elven regions, and dragon kins, witch consisted of humans elves and dragons living together in harmony away from the fighting of their brothers and sisters. But this story isn't about them at least not yet we first need to start in our world with a girl named Ruby, Ruby has shoulder length black hair, scorching red eyes, tan skin, and a birthmark on her left wrist in the shape of a serpent wrapping around her wrist. She has always felt different from the rest of her family, always over looked by those around her people preferring to be around her twin sister Emerald who was the exact opposite of Ruby, she had white hair, emerald green eyes, and was pale as the moon, the only thing that both twins shared was the happiness they felt when they were together. Ruby loved her sister, she always was there when she needed her and was always there in return when Emerald had a problem as well.
Our world
Ruby's POV.
Ruby sighed as she sat down on the park bench she was having a relaxing day away from all the stress of school and homework, "wow its such a lovely day I'm glad I toke the time to come here" Ruby said to no one but the wind that blew though her black hair making her calmed state even more calming, she looked around at all the park goers and spotted someone she hoped not to see, it was Emma Conrail a very popular girl at her school and someone who Ruby had come to hate with a passion, hoping to not get seen by her worst enemy Ruby stud up from the bench and started to pack up her things she brought with her when hale and behold Emma spotted Ruby and strutted up to where Ruby had just gathered the rest of her things and tore her bag from her finger gloved hands. "why hello Ruby fancy seeing you here" she said with false sweetness as she looked at Ruby's dragon scaled styled backpack that her sister helped her to get, "its not good to see you Emma now give me back my backpack or there will be hell to pay." Ruby said back with anger. "and why would I give back a little thief something she obviously stole." Emma said with venom reminding Ruby of when she and her sister had to steal to eat before they were adopted by the Jones family. "I didn't steal anything now give it back or I will be forced to take it back and you know how well that will be" Ruby said back with the fire in her words being felt by the crowd they had started to gather, and daring Emma to push her. "fine take the thing back you little thief" she said as she thou the bag back into Ruby's face. Ruby growled with anger and walked away and headed home. As Ruby was walking she stopped in an alleyway to calm herself down. "why can't she just leave me alone" Ruby said as she looked at the sky, when she was calm enough she walked the rest of the way home. As Ruby looked at the place she has called home for two years now, it was a 3 story house with red siding a black roof and 5 windows in the front, she smiled at the memory of how she and her sister came to live here, Ruby and Emerald where in an abandoned house eating some bread Emerald was able to snag off of a food bender in the park. "when are we going to not have to steal just to get by Em, when are we going to be able to walk around this town with full stomachs and say hey world you didn't beat me we are free and nothing you can do will stop us." Ruby said as she finished her bread, "I don't know Rube but one day we will, one day we wont have to steal or live in abandoned homes and sleep in alleyways one day we will be free of the hardships this world has and return to the life we had before I promise you this Rube we will be free to live our lives in peace." there was a bang on the door and a voice saying "come out we know your in there thief come out with your hands up." both girls knew what this meant and stud up looked at each other and slowly walked to the door. Emerald opened it up and said "I'm sorry officer I will come quietly but I ask of you leave my sister I'm the one who stole the bread she did nothing please." the officer looked at Emerald and Ruby seeing their dirty faces ripped up clothes and how they were nothing but skin and bones and made a decision "I'm not going to arrest you or your sister but you both still need to come with me, I need to ask where are your parents?" he said and asked them. "sir our parents left us when we were 10 we have been living on our own ever sense" Ruby said with sadness looking down at the floor and walking beside her sister holding her hand as if it was a lifeline. The officer shake his head and made one more decision… Ruby and Emerald later learned that the officers name was Derek Jones when he decided to adopt them and both would forever be grateful for the man that gave them their freedom. Ruby finally walked inside to see her sister and Derek on the ground laughing making Ruby smile "what's going on guys why are you on the floor" Ruby asked as she was laughing at the ridiculousness that was her adoptive father and sister, "oh nothing Rube don't worry about it Derek just thought it was a good idea to scare me so I pined him to the ground and then…" Ruby interrupted her sister and said "ok I get it you and Derek where just being silly again so where is the rest of this dysfunctional family or is he hiding to surprise me again" she then opened the closet door to put her bag away when Mike jumped her and they tumbled to the ground "ha got you Ruby" he said as he sat on top of her "get off you big goof" Ruby said as she pushed him off of her. "why do you and Derek always ambush us" Ruby said with a smile at the two gay men who were currently putting their arms around the other "because we love the see your reactions" both men responded as one. Well she guessed she couldn't blame them they did love both her and Emerald like they were their own and this is everything she must go thou day to day and she won't change it for the world, but unknown to Ruby her life was about to change rather it be for the better or worst it was and hopefully it will be for the better.
