" Snow what happened?" Ruby called to her friend. "Are you ok?" Snow looked up and Ruby could see her eyes were blood shot and her cheeks tear stained.
"My father... He's... He's dead!" Sobbed Snow. Ruby reached out and wrapped Snow up in a giant hug; comforting her with a soothing touch on the arm.
"You have to tell someone Snow," Ruby whispered. "Regina won't be able to take care of you and you need to be in a home where you can have two loving parents."
"I know" whispered Snow sadly, "I just wish someone would take care of her, you know?"
Ruby nodded and hugged Snow tighter. " It'll be alright; everything will always be alright," Ruby whispered.

That night Ruby went home and told her Granny what was happening with Snow. Her Grandmother immediately called Social services and they assured her they would check it out the next day.
