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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANArptAgi8jtT
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAlN08b4Exd8
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
161Please respect copyright.PENANA1pQsVrMGkU
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAKsqgwmnws7
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAE6ipZN3Lsu
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAxK04yUtqkU
Man:Well come on CRY!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAKCypihtg4X
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAS9crxkEh4X
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
161Please respect copyright.PENANArNMX4gacRr
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAk9VcU11JKw
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAg15X8dXvKX
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZZEgvgzkO
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAD22cHmmoN9
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZVGTqpedtw
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUBYwnpO4wR
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA5h5Ky7e2os
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:
161Please respect copyright.PENANARKWmOFqdcJ
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
161Please respect copyright.PENANACpwxWbvEmP
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAC4zRGe0aVU
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAkPICUXzMIZ
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…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAX8FMCxuoVw
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjQiog2pJH6
…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAIsMB7Xx2VF
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAzDr1G7Ocpa
Woman:And you are?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAOFSMeDuzYf
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAnY3Gr8DUVo
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
161Please respect copyright.PENANA3JjTAIs3bj
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAMsK27F5ipC
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdXSBXX9WTy
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAD8mmO5M3oa
He was enraged…why?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAYjkvdkiHVq
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA4K6meM1dzl
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
161Please respect copyright.PENANA8gpbJxEVaq
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAspKpR9O9NJ
Huh?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAgrRzhlKxtP
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAqnkPGSc1LW
Stepmom:How dare you?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAC5ylZiep99
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXrzsvyjowV
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAFuKiXxUo2P
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAC4vhK1lqB5
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAZq5Z0CAfBC
Ruby:Morning…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAgTlyRipzhI
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAaBo15ScqEN
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXClan8qFWD
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA3UXNtvMKB4
Ruby:FANG!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAiFKRQGyz7i
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdvDezCTw7T
Stepmom:Try…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAnbX3MOdnW6
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAfwYyQhFdEM
BOOM!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ2b01D5iC
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAHUip8IBLQm
Fang:What was that?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdlmEu5VRfH
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
161Please respect copyright.PENANACS1oEx9lUZ
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
161Please respect copyright.PENANArsWjWr6KXH
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAv86kc8RbYT
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAgIWyuX4diz
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAIfq1zizNEs
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAuYrwVJAbIn
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAYvB0g3C5Vr
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
161Please respect copyright.PENANArJVoGo0Oh6
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA5mY3a4MEle
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAC9ZbEnII0h
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAshHNDZJbVq
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAsY0bBxqSUA
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7yRPZTbXs
Fang’s POV
161Please respect copyright.PENANAhXqeG32ViE
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
161Please respect copyright.PENANABPPHUil4up
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGK5g1EW3Sr
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAEgpeCNaf1j
Fang:We’re leaving…
161Please respect copyright.PENANApM6UzzAyum
That was my only option left before I killed them.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA1w1r0pisyQ
Ruby:What?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjMYQec5qj8
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAy0g2fgumxf
Fang:Pinpoint…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAFIC4mivdfM
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6tm7yXnUNX
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
