“If you’re here to drag me back, then I’ll go down fighting. I’m not going back,” she said through practically clenched teeth. 

The last thing Ruby wanted to do was fight anybody. She hated what she was and hated that she had betrayed someone who trusted her more than her own kind. Not all of them were evil…she had lied. A lot. But the truth that held the most accountability was when she could still remember being human.
