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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxAa7AlN6se
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAfXAXsODndo
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAPGrRH3CEqF
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
289Please respect copyright.PENANARPtEHftmTs
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAtdt3Bp7IVJ
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUsFPFkUgIn
Man:Well come on CRY!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAanGfpoF5qA
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAMOAkpwUOxy
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAMBKnxj6XPY
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAXFxHHF8kFy
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAjNEDBlx0b9
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
289Please respect copyright.PENANABFAyq8cV2J
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAEQx2oqtWr5
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAbMGOBF748j
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZdc4M8BdjA
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAO7hC4Dew44
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:
289Please respect copyright.PENANA4PNlRPGK58
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA34Ob8sFFcV
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
289Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y88ORfiGv
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAczXBw09kf
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…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOFekHHXVIC
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAnaOuserpKb
…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUF2cQY3HHy
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANADWlVgDOX7P
Woman:And you are?
289Please respect copyright.PENANAHJjq4V2Vj3
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA0kpQ7DLvrF
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxrNpO5GEGN
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAzokQPu8CV1
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOCsAMW2nMH
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAy0amttDucj
He was enraged…why?
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxMO5mSvsXp
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
289Please respect copyright.PENANApUwLADuSpk
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAdJPPJQtJ3X
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAOPHOj5qPR
Huh?
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOocfhc1DBG
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAS9DKSk0576
Stepmom:How dare you?
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuZZ2GbYrTB
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOk0xMBKVrA
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
289Please respect copyright.PENANACrzXLUPcK3
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
289Please respect copyright.PENANArlvh3nHVMt
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAkajQA5VTUe
Ruby:Morning…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJt7x851POQ
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAwU3friXi2m
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuIQFTuXQP1
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJxHkgTeawm
Ruby:FANG!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAkxg8C4fy83
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
289Please respect copyright.PENANADDWodkkWKd
Stepmom:Try…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAGhHYQkK1rH
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAWNBvUWN5DN
BOOM!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAPZfOvZYGVA
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZLUpnThq2U
Fang:What was that?
289Please respect copyright.PENANAg3LyjUEO3Q
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOycYoftlqS
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
289Please respect copyright.PENANA7C0jc2Sdl5
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAwDQT0ZRSJX
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
289Please respect copyright.PENANANQXfUF9vLR
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAYJgzMCfu9
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
289Please respect copyright.PENANA3QbbZkPaqn
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAkuEhY8zjsY
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxwBno1j06Q
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJJQCTD60Rd
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
289Please respect copyright.PENANA0pmOImZXPP
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAe3UwiqLSqt
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
289Please respect copyright.PENANATWXGTCTHWt
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJLnJ8lluDm
Fang’s POV
289Please respect copyright.PENANAYpMiOA6eDY
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhQbQKbLCt2
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
289Please respect copyright.PENANApflORP0Jtw
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAo9a0DyS8a0
Fang:We’re leaving…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAY9UqtORrl4
That was my only option left before I killed them.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAPuL55CpppU
Ruby:What?
289Please respect copyright.PENANANsGM0ggbnT
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAXfL94KVSKe
Fang:Pinpoint…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAycTpJWmJVO
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJFYIyCoAVw
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
