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.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAjNka6Vs38B
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.
309Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZcOlTGLTF
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
309Please respect copyright.PENANAUWUmoRNqMl
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
309Please respect copyright.PENANAxg8Fx78yYK
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAR8XycXNO9v
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
309Please respect copyright.PENANAIi2jzUOyOi
Man:Well come on CRY!
309Please respect copyright.PENANAaISpaeLqEs
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAd99cS2hyhQ
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
309Please respect copyright.PENANA7AyOqzhWDF
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
309Please respect copyright.PENANA8jwVQfkezb
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
309Please respect copyright.PENANA5UkSRPpdcZ
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
309Please respect copyright.PENANA9QinSmUysq
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
309Please respect copyright.PENANAbAicL40TTN
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.
309Please respect copyright.PENANANdysDYCBR3
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
309Please respect copyright.PENANAGFZVNHyqcq
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.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAyNqUKPch3e
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:
309Please respect copyright.PENANAfLlY7E1Eto
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
309Please respect copyright.PENANACkpc6ik2EK
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
309Please respect copyright.PENANAKHqLwdk6eV
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAEcmhvmi56D
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…
309Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ8LYQoBJo
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
309Please respect copyright.PENANA1Lh4JT0fUN
…
309Please respect copyright.PENANApVSBTpRbhp
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.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAtsGCigh2b8
Woman:And you are?
309Please respect copyright.PENANAnRgKdqYlkX
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAY86RDuU1gb
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
309Please respect copyright.PENANAACemSmCJ0U
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAwUlRj6aH62
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
309Please respect copyright.PENANA8oMNORKeMo
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
309Please respect copyright.PENANAbNzQUKINxV
He was enraged…why?
309Please respect copyright.PENANATyWt6cIRkn
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAUyvPs9PXSd
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
309Please respect copyright.PENANALfpe3Q2opa
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
309Please respect copyright.PENANApDCEw7iugs
Huh?
309Please respect copyright.PENANA2kBHq0tAuj
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
309Please respect copyright.PENANA4Wd85ueCNY
Stepmom:How dare you?
309Please respect copyright.PENANAN8wLFlpn91
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAO7LxJnQI7y
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAs1nsP1JSd5
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
309Please respect copyright.PENANAAh8GXqGNGd
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
309Please respect copyright.PENANA395NFm0FSi
Ruby:Morning…
309Please respect copyright.PENANA7MeUz73VIl
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
309Please respect copyright.PENANAiD8ZfHjBz2
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
309Please respect copyright.PENANAIxkXOVBpYR
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.
309Please respect copyright.PENANA0PSgZFPSml
Ruby:FANG!
309Please respect copyright.PENANAz6De1vjHf1
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAvVnRBH5Uyz
Stepmom:Try…
309Please respect copyright.PENANA1E0W9AHTtG
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.
309Please respect copyright.PENANA2IZOdzpiUe
BOOM!
309Please respect copyright.PENANAHJWGD7lQjI
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAKjSH2bBGuX
Fang:What was that?
309Please respect copyright.PENANAYVPRsnjxio
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
309Please respect copyright.PENANADOgQEW01GS
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
309Please respect copyright.PENANAzr8JmSHKOh
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAcvsWTs3tUY
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
309Please respect copyright.PENANATao0aWwBr6
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAEuKI2Hls2k
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
309Please respect copyright.PENANAIZWriUZeXR
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.
309Please respect copyright.PENANA2IjroKi8tI
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
309Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q1bFe13AH
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAbAGzKMhfa4
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
309Please respect copyright.PENANAtrrM0dEfbV
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.
309Please respect copyright.PENANA53nGJMk4fm
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
309Please respect copyright.PENANATmpDvPkddh
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
309Please respect copyright.PENANA2Jyol4M5O7
Fang’s POV
309Please respect copyright.PENANAqIVX8M5eiT
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
309Please respect copyright.PENANA05NWByKJCI
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAPTO0n9jdSQ
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
309Please respect copyright.PENANANpbL3x2GyM
Fang:We’re leaving…
309Please respect copyright.PENANAAXeq3pqdU0
That was my only option left before I killed them.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAOKR2EJ4lHB
Ruby:What?
309Please respect copyright.PENANAMQumQ0yIRR
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAoU1hWoBstk
Fang:Pinpoint…
309Please respect copyright.PENANAyYXuqJ8x24
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
309Please respect copyright.PENANAJaXbnhlIr4
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
309Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0LBEpTFns
