Lina POV
I got comfy on the couch, a soft blacket huging my cold skin. There was a knock at the door. Seriously, who is coming here at this hour? It's like midnight.
" Hello? " I opened the door. I saw Ruby, a former classmate. She was wearing a long red cape, what an odd choice of clothing for the city.
" Lina, you need to take me to your house. My granny said you might find some Fairy Tale book there and she needs to ' protect ' it, " she made air quotes. I nodded.
" What does it look like? "
" It's a large book with a brown leather cover and on the front it says ' Fairy Tales. ' Look this is very important to my Granny so could you help me? " there was a glint of hope in her eyes.
" Alright, let me get dressed and take my friend's keys. We're taking a car, " I felt a little guilty about having to steal Kevin's keys but it's worth it, friends come first. I was pulled into the hallway and into a tight hug.
" Thanks, " she smiled at me. I walked into the apartment, grabbing whatever clothing I could find. I put on a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey and a pair of leggings, slipped on the first pair of shoes I could find, black lace Toms. I left a note on the kitchen table telling Kevin where I was. I snatched up the keys and off we went.
" Ok, let's go, " I shook the keys to the green honda. She grabbed them and got into the car, I can't drive.
" What the fu- " she almost swore. There was a teenage boy standing in front of my door. I stepped out of the car.
" Who are you? " he turned around to face me. Blonde hair.
" Rodway. Rodway Princeton and this is my house. " I stopped dead in my tracks. Rodway. I had a brother named Rod.
" Did you have a sister, when you lived here? " I shivered at the thought of him being my missing brother.
" Yes, her name was Lina, " he replied, his eyes filling with tears.
" I'm your sister. "
" Lina? " he studied me. I tried to pull him into a hug, but he pushed me away.
" You betrayed me! " he yelled, I staggered backward.
" Rod, I'm sorry. I truly a- " I was cut off by a slap across the face.
Ruby POV
I watched in horror as the stranger - who was Lina's brother - slapped her. He yelled insults at her. I stepped out of the car.
" Hey, asshole! " I screamed, his head jerked toward me.
" Who are you, young lady? " he kissed my knuckles. I ripped my hand away.
" How dare you hurt Lina and then treat me all lady like! " I spat, venom filling every word. He looked at me with sad eyes.
I threw a punch at his stomach, " If you ever touch my friend, Lina again I will kill you. And I will make it slow and painful. " I helped Lina up, she wan't badly hurt but a little shaken up.
" M-My own brother slapped me, " terror filled her eyes as she looked at him.
