Fang found a log house within the wide range of trees Ruby’s energy signal could be found inside along with several others.

Fang slowly approached the window nearest to where Ruby was. It was a kitchen. Ruby sat on her knees as a tall man. Perhaps her father yelled so loud the glass couldn’t muffle out his harsh words.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAAXlDAJHS8D
Man:You weak, pathetic, crybaby brat why did you remove the collar you MISTAKE…
Upon saying a mistake he kicked Ruby in the side of the head the sound ricocheting all throughout the house. Ruby layed there unmoving as he kicked her in the side, tearing a scream from her.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAIYYOfn7o2m
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAQnEKgv1CK1
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAxtzwWU5pFA
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAgb2i0qVuaF
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAceWhoKjBCh
Man:Well come on CRY!
348Please respect copyright.PENANACxe3hPdnpg
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAiZLjZJsS2G
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAUoQGyJqOTt
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAum0Omvgxbw
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAxiFDl86ZCP
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAFtSTOg1rfN
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAEImtl48ems
Fang growled through gritted teeth as he watched Ruby disappear deeper into the house. With a sigh he leapt onto the roof Ruby’s energy signal was moving upwards till she was almost to the roof it stopped one level below.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAo4tc2iD2K0
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
348Please respect copyright.PENANA1Azvmc97ca
Ruby Pov:
I came home just to get beaten by my ‘Father’ and sent to my room without any form of food. I don’t get it, I didn't cry cause usually that would mean I'd gotten beaten even worse but now that I didn’t cry he hit me with even greater force than ever.
348Please respect copyright.PENANA6jrdJQlD6H
What was I supposed to do, laugh? Images of Fang flashed through my mind. He was so nice, the warmth of his kindness still lingered within my pale flesh. Why did I leave…cause I didn’t wanna drag him into my problems but he was so nice and what if he could’ve helped.
I reached the attic, it was completely empty there, nothing but the splintering floor and the wall without a window, just a large rectangular hole. A small gust of wind blew into the vacant room hitting my bare skin, with a shiver I slowly moved to lay underneath the window. My body felt heavy once I laid down but the repetitive stings within my body forbad me from going to sleep for quite some time but I finally drifted off to sleep.

No One’s POV:
348Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ112g147l
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAYYAFWi0TeO
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAfWkuanzjWp
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAZX9GNjId2j
He silently moved across the splittering floor as he approached the lightly sleeping Ruby. Kneeling beside her he tried to raise her head without waking her. She didn’t awaken…Fang carefully placed her head onto his knee. She didn’t seem to be hurt that badly but…
348Please respect copyright.PENANANtcjP6rBk5
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
348Please respect copyright.PENANA602fSh8HyC
…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAsHYO9WJOQJ
Sunlight entered the windowless wall, Fang was the first to awaken as the sound of movement alerted him. A moment later a woman with auburn colored hair and green eyes entered the room, in her hand another shock collar. Their eyes locked.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAXy4kWntc1I
Woman:And you are?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAsO2AiTM8PG
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAAfUtxPQHPF
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAuK6izD2sv8
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAGbLzYyccSx
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAlgHO5j24ZW
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ4bL3Um6n
He was enraged…why?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAmIC3yHeHxV
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAeR6XvU8Uw1
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAzNUrFDQjEf
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAtibf6uKDQ0
Huh?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAeZN91gXFT1
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
348Please respect copyright.PENANA7rk0RyoVhq
Stepmom:How dare you?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAboAKil9ky1
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
348Please respect copyright.PENANA0RfgLqaaiE
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAtdml2lv99d
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAUMuVXJU4xg
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAqdm1bVUO5M
Ruby:Morning…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAV6UlO5OUap
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAFdEpGDyOr1
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAchjFNucUAl
I was kinda worried he would attack her but what happened next scared me even worse…His entire body began admitting a cyan colored aura that caused his hair and eyes to glow.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAWvIw9PuRzh
Ruby:FANG!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAXw3Pr1dWw8
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAqBhPxpyjya
Stepmom:Try…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAxjauq2cIU0
It was so fast I didn’t see him move. A slash-like hole appeared behind my stepmom allowing for more morning air to enter the attic.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAGEg3iG4LWb
BOOM!
348Please respect copyright.PENANA5HWVjvQQJI
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAflsVSCtOBP
Fang:What was that?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAJRpZnKbT3u
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAoKLBaACEZS
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAxa3BV816YD
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAnXP8MeyVy0
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAcGQdJaDr3H
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAGTWCW480Wo
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAcgvcNzQM5v
I bit my lower lip as I could the sounds of footsteps rush up the stairs. Within an instance my father was here rage easily visible on his face.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAJMDhAvmB8n
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
348Please respect copyright.PENANAWyYlLYhMfw
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
348Please respect copyright.PENANA2GrafBOxFT
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAiWlJhpHvDv
Fang must’ve caught wind of this cause he held me tight to his chest with a look of pure anger that made my father submit.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0scem20fl
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAjTA0CF7oKs
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
348Please respect copyright.PENANAgVnXddwBfK
Fang’s POV
348Please respect copyright.PENANAm5bFIBoJwr
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
348Please respect copyright.PENANApwNTsOGtEM
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAROVRucyN25
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAyTY3CzSJ8V
Fang:We’re leaving…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAPcv8x7BhpD
That was my only option left before I killed them.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAv7BmX66xvO
Ruby:What?
348Please respect copyright.PENANA78EfxZbbIv
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
348Please respect copyright.PENANAMjlWrpwlm0
Fang:Pinpoint…
348Please respect copyright.PENANAHrhS6nR3pi
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
348Please respect copyright.PENANASbQU88mX3c
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
