章 150: Book 3: Chapter 9 - The Melvin Gene's.

　　　"What do you mean -- you know?" I question harshly, pulling back from him. I reach up to wipe away the tears running down my face, giving him a cold stare. He simply looks back at me expressionless, his lips set in a straight line.

　　　"Uncle Tobias, you better answer me! Do you have something to do with this?" I yell at him, taking another step back.

　　　"Explain what happened, from the start." He responds quietly, giving me a dark look. I clench my jaw as he avoids my question completely. I grab my backpack off the floor and turn around, stomping down the road.

　　　I don't need the Backstabber.

　　　I'll find my parents myself.

　　　"Ruby! Ruby Melvin, get back here right now!" He yells after me, climbing off his bike and jogging in my direction. I begin to speed up and toss my hair over my shoulder, barely glancing at him.
