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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5z5Zc6iUro
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANATSqh4vocvX
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjt6mvGa1eX
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
496Please respect copyright.PENANALnYxGUhRQG
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
496Please respect copyright.PENANABk1gQc1YU6
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHfacYiUNYt
Man:Well come on CRY!
496Please respect copyright.PENANAcvVpuJ1JK2
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
496Please respect copyright.PENANARNHDj8UGra
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
496Please respect copyright.PENANA63CiNmJ6l4
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAr21K6OIfeC
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxxQDCwHznJ
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAREMICX4OFT
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvxhbpQKXQz
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQzSBHzhzKi
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAeFxlfJjn6Q
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWiVoTDnaGz
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:
496Please respect copyright.PENANACphA32nnUe
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAAuiJiXFj6C
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqFXfXaHsHY
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA79JuhjesTC
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…
496Please respect copyright.PENANAShhX67wjU4
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgbNT1Jh4ws
…
496Please respect copyright.PENANA3whk2oYBk3
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAaV5i7l8ghJ
Woman:And you are?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwMOu9ol2Im
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
496Please respect copyright.PENANARP3sr8Bnar
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
496Please respect copyright.PENANAIPenyMZc24
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAItyDamjOdC
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjxIaqIhu6L
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVPIRUHisLA
He was enraged…why?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUa60fdTpSh
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA4lz6IR3x8Z
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbD8pAEtnb1
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvtItnokRai
Huh?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZfbnrcS4Lg
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAc5KrPgR3gU
Stepmom:How dare you?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxjKR7hnmml
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2eJCUzBom9
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQAT0Gclyl5
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ02b0xyCT
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
496Please respect copyright.PENANAa9Rh0kjguO
Ruby:Morning…
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5nQBg0tKY4
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
496Please respect copyright.PENANATIBwQ76flU
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
496Please respect copyright.PENANApnaUB4X0u8
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAnZcNqIyfLp
Ruby:FANG!
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFsMS3owOkm
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAi8fCaRs6Ld
Stepmom:Try…
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYvQ78iLnqr
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA1mUGjbbtFb
BOOM!
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2gc9M8hmfV
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ2FmimjBb
Fang:What was that?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAmLBQZFgOJN
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvdAGkqii5U
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
496Please respect copyright.PENANASLBNxomz6P
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzSIT3Ca2Tu
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
496Please respect copyright.PENANANL31KrvV8b
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjXIvzWSOOl
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
496Please respect copyright.PENANAN6npxgAORn
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHUNUo5IVnS
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHyiIYbhuAO
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA85LOzhgfyy
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
496Please respect copyright.PENANAdTjDsgdUJt
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAdABHlIowXm
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA6p3WWA4ELp
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
496Please respect copyright.PENANANMSOXM9DTG
Fang’s POV
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQKCYHYx2Sl
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjEAcdXb3cF
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYBMo9rcAL4
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkHUTiQLyAF
Fang:We’re leaving…
496Please respect copyright.PENANA4OpGhxaz02
That was my only option left before I killed them.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWIRUt0TAOl
Ruby:What?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAG6E3vVQM9n
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAEN590GvSfk
Fang:Pinpoint…
496Please respect copyright.PENANAcwVvO25JRm
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
496Please respect copyright.PENANABWoCJwsmtG
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
496Please respect copyright.PENANAS0NRgX3Bh1
