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.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAxOkjff90L5
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.
291Please respect copyright.PENANArzyOh6xtlB
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
291Please respect copyright.PENANACQtknXnd6X
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAkKGrArkbT0
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
291Please respect copyright.PENANACtIwxHFu7f
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAapHHSYF8kU
Man:Well come on CRY!
291Please respect copyright.PENANAdlABOylt8Q
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAGyCnK8l4hY
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
291Please respect copyright.PENANAAAVQ8uFd8i
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
291Please respect copyright.PENANABbT0yPfku7
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAmdFQjFUnI8
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAMMSA0yxepd
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
291Please respect copyright.PENANAKOjUo1eTQn
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.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAbCTWriqFer
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAJuON4rDJuV
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.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAxKCVCv8KtE
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:
291Please respect copyright.PENANAFevzuI3nof
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
291Please respect copyright.PENANA8rpPb1PW52
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
291Please respect copyright.PENANA9O8jVoYfGx
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
291Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hmu39wxic
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…
291Please respect copyright.PENANAR1vQx2by2C
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAbn2uwWQ5ZT
…
291Please respect copyright.PENANAkszDClR6NG
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.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAg8kTIAkZQm
Woman:And you are?
291Please respect copyright.PENANA7OTjgdaCOx
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAaVc0d9Urma
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
291Please respect copyright.PENANAzrRkouARtO
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAUcOQ7qnB6M
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAF5NkDfDXuI
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
291Please respect copyright.PENANAI3csSBCm3g
He was enraged…why?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAlo9ubOagkK
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAmRCkf3fhdS
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
291Please respect copyright.PENANATMQ0NrX9Se
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
291Please respect copyright.PENANAWtdQ3BkTsQ
Huh?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAPSKXYBHsJU
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
291Please respect copyright.PENANA8SJU3oWLTg
Stepmom:How dare you?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAbRdUD4YFZF
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAMBDEGD6xbE
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAgVcIiA4drO
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
291Please respect copyright.PENANAoFhFmg2sat
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
291Please respect copyright.PENANAbsqvEJh1R9
Ruby:Morning…
291Please respect copyright.PENANAgVQyl3sReE
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
291Please respect copyright.PENANAAQa7uLiEbD
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
291Please respect copyright.PENANA8OqVbRWJPX
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.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAdMFjulxg75
Ruby:FANG!
291Please respect copyright.PENANAa2kCAtrVCr
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAF8djoyE1XJ
Stepmom:Try…
291Please respect copyright.PENANAOcyK5NuLCt
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.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAMhMTKAStDV
BOOM!
291Please respect copyright.PENANAG6v2AiKK9g
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
291Please respect copyright.PENANADwi3z7ENhz
Fang:What was that?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAbGmPzYpHpJ
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
291Please respect copyright.PENANAt1kMr8imkq
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAH7lhJa2elH
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
291Please respect copyright.PENANADWoCi0z5aB
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAHKbbOlYXi6
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
291Please respect copyright.PENANA3Cgnt5O2bR
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
291Please respect copyright.PENANAglgZW0JOQV
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.
291Please respect copyright.PENANA7chjJ9jMK8
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAomc6HIt8kS
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
291Please respect copyright.PENANA5gBcdn0NnI
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
291Please respect copyright.PENANAp0q8tfEXf8
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.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAGCDWh1GYdI
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAzsuhyo0oOJ
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
291Please respect copyright.PENANAL7MdQ0TaTP
Fang’s POV
291Please respect copyright.PENANA4cU8magg2O
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAjU8y16sGqE
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
291Please respect copyright.PENANACWIpiFCJwV
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAa45FvMm6v1
Fang:We’re leaving…
291Please respect copyright.PENANAZXQqvJYqQw
That was my only option left before I killed them.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAgjIbI17N1D
Ruby:What?
291Please respect copyright.PENANAbJpTeaIo5W
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
291Please respect copyright.PENANA8RbOMKsNWb
Fang:Pinpoint…
291Please respect copyright.PENANAKMPZCxIOEj
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
291Please respect copyright.PENANAzhZZ5TOZmc
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
291Please respect copyright.PENANAMb3ec9iHFD
