Prologue

Ruby sat cross-legged on the end of her bed, her tangled hair hopelessly around her tear stained face. It had happened again, only this time was far much worse than the previous night.

Ruby didn't know what to do. She didn't know who to talk to, and even if she did, she wouldn't have known what to say. All she could do was cry. Ruby couldn't remember the last time she hadn't cried herself at night, but no one ever heard her cry, or if they did, they just ignored her. No one came to rescue her. No one knew the terrible secret of what her father was doing to her everyday when he came home.

It all began when Ruby was twelve years old. One night, just as she was beginning to drift off, he had crept into her room and slipped his naked body into her bed. She could still remember it as clearly as if it happened only minutes ago. The creaking sound the door made as it opened. His cold, rough hands ripping at her clothes. The glint of evil and madness she saw in his eyes as he hurt her in a way she had never thought possible at the tender age of twelve. She couldn't bear to think about it, yet she could rarely ever think of anything else.

Ruby was fifteen now and she knew exactly what it meant to be raped. She sat through year after year of sexual education at school, but it never made it easier for her to speak out. If anything, it made it harder for her to do so. The blunt and scientific way in which her teacher had talked about such things only made her feel more and more ashamed as each year passed. Sometimes she wanted to cry, sometimes she wanted to scream and hit someone, but most often she just wanted to end it all.

When Ruby wasn't thinking about what her father had done to her, she thought of death. It had been given such a bad stereotype, but she thought it would be wonderful to be rid of the pain and suffering he had put her through all these long years. It wasn't like she had any friends who would miss her. She had lost all of her friends when she became detached. Her sister was the only one who truly cared for her, but she didn't had the courage to tell her what was going on.

So in a faithful night, she grabbed all the supplies she could gather and grabbed Crescent Rose from her father's bedroom. Ruby pulled the window up and jumped, she activated her Semblance, and ran like never before while tears ran down her cheeks. But she wasn't sad, actually she was happy as she was finally free from the horror.

"I'm free, I'm finally free from that monster." A smile spread across her face, as she left a trail of rose petals behind.
