Ruby Red

Chapter 1

Ruby was an imaginative and kind person. Her favourite part of her house was the forest. She loved walking through the thick trees and building tree forts.
Her mother died at a young age. She loved making potions but one of them went wrong and caused a house fire. Only Ruby and father got out alive.
After her mother died her father fell into a deep depression and started drinking and abusive.
Ruby's only friend was her pet dog, Markcus.
At school Ruby was a great student but was treated poorly by the others students including some teachers who teased her for her small dirty clothing that her father made her wear.
"Why must I wear these clothes father," she asked her father. "The kids and teachers at school tease me"
"I don't give a shit," her father said not looking up from  the television.
"But father," she pleaded.
"I told you girl I don't care. Now go away."
Of course Ruby was used to her father's way of life but she liked the old father better. The father who would take her to the beach. The father that respected her. The father that loved her.
