Hey it has been a bit, I'm sorry about that! In the middle of moving to a new town where I am going to college and it has been hectic with trying to find a job as well.

Fanfiction's Rookie - Sorry sometimes the lines never show up when I copy it all over.

KHARAKI TAKAN - The new surname was to show her change, being different.

Darkdragon0298 - Yeah no it isn't the last chapter, I still have a few more chapters in planning, I may be done by 20 depends.


"This is surprising indeed." The doctor said looking down at the charts, looking back up to the redhead. "Your ankle has healed faster than I thought." She said getting up from her seat going over to the X Rays.

"Is that a good or bad thing?" Ruby asked rubbing her head.

"It's unusual, I mean… from your history not so much." The doctor whispered.

"What?" Ruby raised an eyebrow. The women shook her head closing the folder. "Don't worry about it, I'll talk to your father more and get back to you on it all. We'll make another appointment say in three weeks? Keep up on your daily exercises and such ok?"

Ruby bit the inside of her cheek before reaching for her crutches. "I will, thank you."

"I'll see you next time Ruby."

Ruby waved to the doctor before exiting the room. She sighed making her way slowly down the hall.

"You're done?" Cinder asked closing her phone before pocketing it. "Yeah, I just have to come back in three weeks for another check up."

"That's good, how is your ankle?"

Ruby hummed as they continued out to Cinder's car. "Healing well." She said slipping one crutch out leaning against the car. She left out the part of how her ankle was healing faster than they thought.

Cinder helped the girl into her seat before slipping the crutches into the back seat.

When Cinder got into her seat her phone started to ring. "Hello." She answered backing the car up out of the parking spot.

The redhead glanced at the women as she stared at the road in front of her listening to whoever had called her.

"You-"

Cinder bit her lip running a hand through her hair. "I'll be there after I drop Ruby off. Yeah, alright. See you soon."

She tossed the phone in the closest cup holder. Ruby raised an eyebrow giving Cinder a concerned look. "What happened?"

The women shook her head resting her arm on the side of her door, resting her chin on her hand. Ruby sighed glancing out her window.

Cinder frowned keeping her eyes on the front road.


Cinder sighed shifting in her seat, she glanced towards the dance floor at her parents gliding along together in unison. She looked down at her drink running her finger along the glass.

"Are you not going to enjoy the party at all?" Scott said sitting next to his sister. The women shook her head sipping from her drink.

"Come on, we should have some fun sis. You always act like a killjoy since dad and mom suggested sutors for the family name."

"You wouldn't understand Scott." She whispered glancing at her hands.

The boy frowned looking back towards his parents again. "They're only doing this to keep their name sake Scott. What if I want to marry someone, what if I want choice."

Cinder shut the car off keeping her eyes at her steering wheel. "I'll be back in a bit, with your sister."

"What's going on, you and Yang have been sort of distant since Reese mentioned something."

The women shook her head. "It's nothing you need to worry about right now, if something is important I'll tell you. Ok?"

Ruby sighed frowning. "Alright, can you help me inside." The girl whispered opening the car door.


Yang crossed her arms over her chest staring at the blanket, she glanced behind her when she heard steps coming towards her. Reese glanced up from the body standing up as Cinder got closer.

"She was a nice girl." Yang whispered glancing towards the floor.

Reese sighed closing a small notebook. "Definitely vampire marks. Biting to kill not to change, whoever it is they're pretty serious." She pocketed the notebook giving the body another look.

"Something strange too, the initials CS were on the floor in blood. The killer loves to leave their mark."

Yang ran a hand through her gold locks. "I'll have to call my uncle for this one, we can't let the association get involved with this one..." she trailed off looking back at Cinder. "Not when they'll be so close to home."

Cinder frowned she stepped past the two walking closer to the body, a faint smell of blood turning to more dense of a smell as she grew closer.

Squatting down she let her fingers brush over the blanket before rising it just a little to look. She could clearly see the marks on the women's neck, and the initials just a foot away in the person's blood.

She clicked her tongue staring at the two holes, her eyes trailed down the girls side till she stopped on a small piece of paper just tucked inside the girls hand.

Carefully she pried the fingers out before plucking the paper. "Hey, did you look at this?" Cinder questioned standing up turning her body towards Reese, the girl in question looked up from her phone raising an eyebrow.

"Does it have anything inside?" The green haired girl asked accepting the paper from Cinder.

She opened it before her eyes scanned across the page a few times. "She won't be the last one Ella." She read out loud as Yang came closer to them.

"Who's Ella?" The blonde asked glancing over Reese's shoulder.

"I have no clue, Cinder?"

The girl jumped a little looking at the two. "I have no idea, I've never heard of an Ella." She said her hand gripping her pants.

Yang scratching the back of her head not noticing anything different about Cinder. "Well, my uncle said he'll look around."

Reese nodded folding the note back up. "That'll be helpful, he'll have a few more connections than us. If you two want to head out I'm going to call a few friends of mine to help get rid of the body, can't have the police digging up anymore deaths around this town." She said looking at the two before waving them off to make a phone call.

"I guess it's time to take a leave." Yang said turning back to where she had come from.

Cinder frowned looking back towards the body.

"What are you planning Caleb." She whispered pulling the locket out. "I thought you were dead."


Ruby hummed tapping her pencil against her desk, she bobbed her head to the music.

I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute;

Couldn't bear another day without you in it

All of the joy that I had known for all my life

Was stripped away from me the minute that you died

To have you in my life was all I ever wanted
But now without you, I'm a soul forever haunted
Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted...

She smiled a little setting her pencil down, she stretched her arms high above her head. Reaching over she grabbed the crutches spinning her chair around as well. Taking a deep breath she hopped up onto her good foot until she felt like her balance was sufficient.

She made her way out into the living room before finally making it to the kitchen. Pulling a glass from the cabinet, she also pulled out the milk setting them both on the counter. A little bark made her jump, she looked behind her at a little dog. She raised an eyebrow at the little puppy.

"How in the world did you get in here." She said leaning down to scratch the dogs ear. The corgi yipped running around in a circle around her. She sighed rubbing her cheek. "Maybe you're one of the neighbors dogs, I mean I haven't seen you before." She grabbed her other crutch before making her way to the door.

"Come on puppy, let's find your owner… if you have one." She pulled the door open turning around to see if the puppy had followed her. Surprisingly he did follow her. Carefully she walked down the driveway with the puppy on her tail. She sighed looking right down the street, before looking left. There were only a few people in their yards. None she knew had a dog at all.

She took a deep breath glancing down at the dog. "Do any of these people own you?" She asked sliding down the garage door to sit down. The dog went over to her side doing a few circles before plopping down at her side.

She heard a chuckle making her look up at a man. "Did the dog knock you over?" He asked taking a few more steps up the driveway, his hands in a leather jacket.

"No, I'm just trying to find his owner. He showed up out of nowhere in my house." The man raised an eyebrow as he leaned down to scratch the dogs ear. The corgi gave a small growl before nipping the man's hand.

"Fierce little guy." He said standing back up. "I'm sorry, did he hurt you?" She asked giving a small glare at the dog.

"No no, it's ok don't apologize." He said. "Also, my apologies I forgot to introduce myself." He said a small grin on his face.

"My name is Caleb." He said holding his hand out. Ruby looked at the hand for a few seconds before shaking it. "I'm Ruby."


Well I hope you all enjoyed, I'm going to try and work on getting more out sooner!
