I wouldn't worry too much. I don't think the creators are stupid enought to kill the title character this early in the series.

Maybe much, much later, but Ruby is probably going to be around for a long time yet.

That being said, it's not unlikely that Ruby will lose a fight against Cinder and be badly hurt to emphasize Cinder's power over others.
