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.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAcE5WNDfhnD
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.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAkvYrrZEoV4
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZmCfcoHAtB
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
334Please respect copyright.PENANAsXvF139CDf
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA7mfU2abPry
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
334Please respect copyright.PENANAq2IfhCVP4l
Man:Well come on CRY!
334Please respect copyright.PENANASQXhsRCiCi
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAo2o92KA4XF
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
334Please respect copyright.PENANATCpP3ZxV7A
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAuVIBSuGXZQ
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAWo3NB1gbue
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
334Please respect copyright.PENANALSUTA0oFmB
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
334Please respect copyright.PENANATVFdhQCyCX
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.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAPAneqnmfby
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
334Please respect copyright.PENANAfpiF7KcI1s
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.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAFENcGpAQMD
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:
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwCrh9FiqYA
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA1HuavRtcLT
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
334Please respect copyright.PENANAb9OvckErvF
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAEqP7OVYhH7
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…
334Please respect copyright.PENANASc9v1AE1SQ
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAr6XZZKQFZ1
…
334Please respect copyright.PENANANMe12OmeHG
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.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA49wEjJICq4
Woman:And you are?
334Please respect copyright.PENANAIuWdnr6Tns
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAOlZzIUOEqp
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKLWnxcJWdU
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAl4uG9rSnDD
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
334Please respect copyright.PENANATcxxvAdnVn
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
334Please respect copyright.PENANApiZruFAFM3
He was enraged…why?
334Please respect copyright.PENANA8CVU1jXYgm
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
334Please respect copyright.PENANASygRU7yH50
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
334Please respect copyright.PENANAFarzhDLCYy
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwXnRpzYpnm
Huh?
334Please respect copyright.PENANAis2vMecwZ6
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
334Please respect copyright.PENANArJKfqemQds
Stepmom:How dare you?
334Please respect copyright.PENANAhfTZaUlL4f
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA46g4Ahq2gF
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAk7xShtLeW4
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
334Please respect copyright.PENANAyF6lQZBEWb
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
334Please respect copyright.PENANAFhi2FZXR7T
Ruby:Morning…
334Please respect copyright.PENANAyd9lPaCYTZ
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZdlx8ZwFGf
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
334Please respect copyright.PENANA45X5MHImVy
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.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjjaR4H12eY
Ruby:FANG!
334Please respect copyright.PENANASrQ60Qxr7D
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAWVDomhjT5J
Stepmom:Try…
334Please respect copyright.PENANA3QPpCDr62g
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.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxxgSpCNFX7
BOOM!
334Please respect copyright.PENANA1mtIKUK5wN
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXtm2CduQKa
Fang:What was that?
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwEio2DjtrE
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
334Please respect copyright.PENANA0EukealDoU
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6XN9J7cre
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAWfWWJXY048
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
334Please respect copyright.PENANAGDXEQmuMRF
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAmtInTbzON2
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
334Please respect copyright.PENANA2cZyybgDBc
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.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAUkjzNTPXcX
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
334Please respect copyright.PENANATPyWj3GM74
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZke9MvyVjw
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
334Please respect copyright.PENANA9aqOgu5SGh
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.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAiE2dsiTSJs
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAhPuToWLVPQ
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
334Please respect copyright.PENANAUp5Qz2nPpW
Fang’s POV
334Please respect copyright.PENANAfCPCxWyW1Q
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAJjPC9in3Yu
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA6v5wGZVZDa
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
334Please respect copyright.PENANARLCLx1FyGV
Fang:We’re leaving…
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdCoomsYo64
That was my only option left before I killed them.
334Please respect copyright.PENANA33Qbc3sZPC
Ruby:What?
334Please respect copyright.PENANAhQKlnBoZa5
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3GwupvcS5
Fang:Pinpoint…
334Please respect copyright.PENANAteuoRsbBml
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
334Please respect copyright.PENANAyHwS2mcQKf
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
334Please respect copyright.PENANAIBKNta9NEv
