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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA72avXn4I1S
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAZZY5h1bxNV
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
377Please respect copyright.PENANA0yiY36ZHKs
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
377Please respect copyright.PENANAVswPouG3AT
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
377Please respect copyright.PENANATTnffKJH3X
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
377Please respect copyright.PENANApSWfEiUMOW
Man:Well come on CRY!
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtj2R6kpENL
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAw0EaKJ9QQY
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
377Please respect copyright.PENANAMYuYA0sY7k
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
377Please respect copyright.PENANACj68fwIPpm
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
377Please respect copyright.PENANALsR4wLPFQC
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAFjcVXam37Y
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
377Please respect copyright.PENANACnCbqPlnev
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA3v3WjoJxsa
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
377Please respect copyright.PENANALLJO0aAvCu
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAjmpNstbm1z
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:
377Please respect copyright.PENANASLmAdeG517
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAMesYthcAVf
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
377Please respect copyright.PENANAluV79QH7T1
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXuAQACLD8x
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…
377Please respect copyright.PENANATkBofpsxFk
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA2CP0SDrj8F
…
377Please respect copyright.PENANAGlSeTWMxZC
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtHXTByG8Wh
Woman:And you are?
377Please respect copyright.PENANAi8MeWpOWDE
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAgnjBPWbo7p
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
377Please respect copyright.PENANAk2p7PXexBY
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAFeXQJJ1iZX
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
377Please respect copyright.PENANA60KN2pk9Xt
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
377Please respect copyright.PENANAADUGWePxNF
He was enraged…why?
377Please respect copyright.PENANAVvqbd4FlTa
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
377Please respect copyright.PENANANkNWe76EWJ
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
377Please respect copyright.PENANAu5A335uCJ1
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
377Please respect copyright.PENANADbdVwgX5Ov
Huh?
377Please respect copyright.PENANA5syfi5JXOO
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA9XtwX5p5j3
Stepmom:How dare you?
377Please respect copyright.PENANAWxuf0kSuU7
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
377Please respect copyright.PENANASkuw4PS1Qi
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXhHplpfWrA
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
377Please respect copyright.PENANAimj5EkmY4j
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
377Please respect copyright.PENANAwxI956KoO1
Ruby:Morning…
377Please respect copyright.PENANAyfZsjMhAxH
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
377Please respect copyright.PENANA2XhQwy3wtQ
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
377Please respect copyright.PENANAO8scD56O8A
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA8eDEHoPHul
Ruby:FANG!
377Please respect copyright.PENANAnc4WEcRCbb
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAr1ofwAaNgm
Stepmom:Try…
377Please respect copyright.PENANAVgRiZ9vgjG
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJSuL3dx3Yc
BOOM!
377Please respect copyright.PENANAmwCllJyL5T
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAueuIc9y9Gb
Fang:What was that?
377Please respect copyright.PENANAdUapdcOtED
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
377Please respect copyright.PENANA9CWV3X5RtP
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
377Please respect copyright.PENANAGe6c1zGpP8
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAkbPxVlEn3d
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
377Please respect copyright.PENANAVP51kwuIj7
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
377Please respect copyright.PENANApdOwEL9n7x
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
377Please respect copyright.PENANARTQfoJytQd
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAqoIokX0Y0X
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
377Please respect copyright.PENANAqVMLfpVUTA
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAjroNgXpSOh
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
377Please respect copyright.PENANAkZaZKVMhKg
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAIhx35jLORe
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
377Please respect copyright.PENANASymScLL0j9
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
377Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ89BanyE9
Fang’s POV
377Please respect copyright.PENANAsTcuYP1kqD
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAa7ArxQZenY
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAT8F6TOpiTX
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA14wJxwdqlH
Fang:We’re leaving…
377Please respect copyright.PENANAUv7pD6tOA6
That was my only option left before I killed them.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA16zKXMBtOI
Ruby:What?
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXThCS4US8U
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAM6VF8P8lW7
Fang:Pinpoint…
377Please respect copyright.PENANA8NxJwxWNrw
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAcdo2xUD8SF
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
