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.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAAEqsxu8mTn
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.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAPtESYnV9l6
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
329Please respect copyright.PENANAyHf5PDkSMr
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
329Please respect copyright.PENANAYQhvhNQl2J
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAWSx6Y82QSa
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
329Please respect copyright.PENANAa2zDXl6doJ
Man:Well come on CRY!
329Please respect copyright.PENANAg6G2vnWzQT
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAYtfDLflcc5
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
329Please respect copyright.PENANAiAfs79t3el
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAPPwBZxBfJR
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAgSy5HQAqcQ
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAcfi03sIDro
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
329Please respect copyright.PENANA7sfivPfTLQ
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.
329Please respect copyright.PENANADxSA6yF5mG
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
329Please respect copyright.PENANAm7Q5dlQOaI
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.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAqZibLsepYC
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:
329Please respect copyright.PENANAxyk0gsTUik
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
329Please respect copyright.PENANASdb07DWPfP
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
329Please respect copyright.PENANAGtDMO9xpPj
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAo2WE0OnNdJ
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…
329Please respect copyright.PENANAr3zG5TdbCl
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
329Please respect copyright.PENANArSibxPlFK0
…
329Please respect copyright.PENANAGM475MVniU
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.
329Please respect copyright.PENANA3luHdLk7GI
Woman:And you are?
329Please respect copyright.PENANAv1j5P8RIHq
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
329Please respect copyright.PENANALNO5RbR6Ro
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
329Please respect copyright.PENANAvhJJxkzctx
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Sf5O4ehc
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8AVpfZfBv
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
329Please respect copyright.PENANApq48DHQK74
He was enraged…why?
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5PytucmIYH
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5Pr3BKDw2x
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
329Please respect copyright.PENANAehQcj4ljji
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
329Please respect copyright.PENANAiId5KlJm9a
Huh?
329Please respect copyright.PENANAjkunK6kk2j
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Ka3SV7Me
Stepmom:How dare you?
329Please respect copyright.PENANApivTdBz6LF
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAr0PLQHV7u7
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAXmxVmUquc4
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
329Please respect copyright.PENANAfYonAkJ7Ei
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJb6ftgy0u5
Ruby:Morning…
329Please respect copyright.PENANAUwg6oUFmFr
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
329Please respect copyright.PENANADmAY9p6wqk
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
329Please respect copyright.PENANA0aMYaCv4wj
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.
329Please respect copyright.PENANA80X1IUHAtf
Ruby:FANG!
329Please respect copyright.PENANAKiVIlhsw81
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAQGXzwQxUYT
Stepmom:Try…
329Please respect copyright.PENANAFqUGYMfWOC
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.
329Please respect copyright.PENANADYqqQT3jnI
BOOM!
329Please respect copyright.PENANAQarmNok8Li
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAI3gejbIovW
Fang:What was that?
329Please respect copyright.PENANA8eAVjVQdMJ
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
329Please respect copyright.PENANA6bgBJvv7hV
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
329Please respect copyright.PENANAeFrD8m6Giu
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAdpm7pTBgRV
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
329Please respect copyright.PENANAzdcEPPxYll
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
329Please respect copyright.PENANA9RuRHHn6zl
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
329Please respect copyright.PENANAAF9pbU6heF
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.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAMNO6lGB0s7
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
329Please respect copyright.PENANACrSrHxzMoo
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAZxs4wb18mR
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
329Please respect copyright.PENANApuB1JCm7Zt
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.
329Please respect copyright.PENANACT92q7sq2G
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAwEyOJNXuo9
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
329Please respect copyright.PENANAzGm36qjNMv
Fang’s POV
329Please respect copyright.PENANAGlol3GdM3N
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
329Please respect copyright.PENANABZiX0te8bl
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAUb9hN86bQV
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJsbt2HTbkO
Fang:We’re leaving…
329Please respect copyright.PENANAZtUp9edAcw
That was my only option left before I killed them.
329Please respect copyright.PENANANagYVwgfSt
Ruby:What?
329Please respect copyright.PENANAxPt7XJSSKs
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
329Please respect copyright.PENANATpcLYlbFVc
Fang:Pinpoint…
329Please respect copyright.PENANAaUpTHsSi27
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAiD4FPuHEaz
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
