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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANARF8z1WnBcr
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yq8SUTb91
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAo9qVU4moPp
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0cKViZmpv
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAxmTjWKUyMH
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
308Please respect copyright.PENANArmXfnzYsiQ
Man:Well come on CRY!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAoQZFCXLKun
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA2b9NcreWUa
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEz3MJRNfoL
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
308Please respect copyright.PENANASHG7rllYHR
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAExvI3bcgI5
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAhhbDlAqE3D
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
308Please respect copyright.PENANAi9IOLlPYNk
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAtPjAPaaVje
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgZJlLdxv5s
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAa4Z6tuQxyV
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:
308Please respect copyright.PENANAsmCDaxNO0Y
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAs7BAGXXdcV
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
308Please respect copyright.PENANARLD6krb2Vk
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgQlRXJUDM3
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…
308Please respect copyright.PENANAMQgBiPbFX4
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAT5XvfeDYJZ
…
308Please respect copyright.PENANAOgi94HLUnX
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAkUBX0t2gTF
Woman:And you are?
308Please respect copyright.PENANAmCHTZHUG45
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA4XQ8uatNds
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzwIDUqhA5g
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8SYE0G8Vs
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
308Please respect copyright.PENANAPehqfkca3M
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAflBoZOJw2E
He was enraged…why?
308Please respect copyright.PENANAup1nEI0Jwi
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA3xbI257h6P
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
308Please respect copyright.PENANAg8dVFf5YIM
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAIxIy8MYkBx
Huh?
308Please respect copyright.PENANA8MNskGHHpj
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAq4H1iM3NFv
Stepmom:How dare you?
308Please respect copyright.PENANAizAzbJ7fKC
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAafC4Gu9FEf
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ9IOpuBry
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
308Please respect copyright.PENANAtBPCPb2Iqr
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
308Please respect copyright.PENANAFoTm7FYv4M
Ruby:Morning…
308Please respect copyright.PENANAc68ksblB5X
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
308Please respect copyright.PENANAjltXmWuayS
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAYhENH9yTKX
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAxMti1OlNug
Ruby:FANG!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAza5Dk6k7GT
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAX7hM2LnEPc
Stepmom:Try…
308Please respect copyright.PENANA30nf2lSZQp
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAWmnN2zb5YN
BOOM!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAKCkIfbGQ1w
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA3PAaMpP9PR
Fang:What was that?
308Please respect copyright.PENANA1dc788FkDH
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzx6ZjhY9Lf
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
308Please respect copyright.PENANAAhxfJFKDaf
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZLv9edI0oh
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
308Please respect copyright.PENANAd64NXDJor7
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAPGRGA51MIs
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAE2O6Wtu6W6
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAhqhNXtxnxr
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
308Please respect copyright.PENANASQpsEUKNF8
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAhPj00CDMCc
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
308Please respect copyright.PENANAGiHW53Gnbj
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANANEwcrrGG5q
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA2z4apOte58
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
308Please respect copyright.PENANA60OEvWmuTz
Fang’s POV
308Please respect copyright.PENANAuBsieG9hTG
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAvgScmlR4T1
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
308Please respect copyright.PENANABSRj59xwNT
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAATa4kqwmrq
Fang:We’re leaving…
308Please respect copyright.PENANAoDyyx4ViJd
That was my only option left before I killed them.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAttkL7AiVCY
Ruby:What?
308Please respect copyright.PENANAsypM39Bc3S
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAXrBxGBFCiX
Fang:Pinpoint…
308Please respect copyright.PENANAl664aPpUXU
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAF0Hi87Pqpa
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
308Please respect copyright.PENANACTE5xLhP87
