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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAKQor2b3NuC
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA2DEpGZdxxe
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
382Please respect copyright.PENANAmPKVmlJmfM
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
382Please respect copyright.PENANAhf3SRx5KAH
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAotwmjTTpmY
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
382Please respect copyright.PENANAmoYuMLr3Xv
Man:Well come on CRY!
382Please respect copyright.PENANAihBiDLPkq4
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAJFbqhzv2Zg
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
382Please respect copyright.PENANAc7CbwrxJsu
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAAwKz3Amyt4
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAwrPMKxE5t0
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
382Please respect copyright.PENANASRbQVZLUQC
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
382Please respect copyright.PENANAxjiVpcU6LQ
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAErQP8JZfPq
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
382Please respect copyright.PENANAxrGezp809W
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAQgVqTQBhbm
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:
382Please respect copyright.PENANAPEDk0WZG7w
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAezUT01DPxT
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
382Please respect copyright.PENANALQbzuafoW8
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAKWC6YhLx6w
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…
382Please respect copyright.PENANAL0BcRL4A6Y
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
382Please respect copyright.PENANApC1WTG1lCf
…
382Please respect copyright.PENANAM1XjpsR8oN
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA2QKAbey7OD
Woman:And you are?
382Please respect copyright.PENANAedUupH3Wkh
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAw6VkI6J57e
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
382Please respect copyright.PENANA0PkZWPhX04
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAuYkPyXMrJn
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
382Please respect copyright.PENANAxyOJpejMAW
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
382Please respect copyright.PENANAgiWrwijuCG
He was enraged…why?
382Please respect copyright.PENANAvl8hAdOxw4
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAwr1roPFXYV
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
382Please respect copyright.PENANA5Fu9vk7FfJ
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
382Please respect copyright.PENANAg6d4NfSVDt
Huh?
382Please respect copyright.PENANABL2M8KVA2E
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAwbXDqLHJck
Stepmom:How dare you?
382Please respect copyright.PENANA1uwGl3nFNM
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAidWL2dEJdj
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
382Please respect copyright.PENANARHLCcG3z3Y
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
382Please respect copyright.PENANASsJ6OzNCh0
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
382Please respect copyright.PENANAXApIzpsjCh
Ruby:Morning…
382Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ8EV99Tju
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
382Please respect copyright.PENANASkSBnuzrsd
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
382Please respect copyright.PENANApboXJJEynX
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAlsF05K0cxU
Ruby:FANG!
382Please respect copyright.PENANAWj5q0yVc6l
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAq1o0b33NPO
Stepmom:Try…
382Please respect copyright.PENANAQy6uQKbgLE
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANA8H1Gmf8HSf
BOOM!
382Please respect copyright.PENANAXlxt9Pmune
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
382Please respect copyright.PENANADReZ13O3RO
Fang:What was that?
382Please respect copyright.PENANAv8gWdbdL8j
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
382Please respect copyright.PENANA9G5vXUyXAt
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
382Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wuo2hsYDW
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAt2e5NIOQpW
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
382Please respect copyright.PENANADT6a7l7HMH
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAuoAwcukhTd
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
382Please respect copyright.PENANAiqtH1rpxt7
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAurcaGsWhja
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
382Please respect copyright.PENANAPzef5kUncn
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAbCMCIdp0TR
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
382Please respect copyright.PENANAJMLkH1sGq8
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.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAsfwVVP2l8v
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
382Please respect copyright.PENANALur3FvEpNK
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
382Please respect copyright.PENANAqbzcvDzwPG
Fang’s POV
382Please respect copyright.PENANAjV5YgSRB1D
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAq4QSMJkZpq
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAcanXGMdr9S
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAtHdOS7WPuo
Fang:We’re leaving…
382Please respect copyright.PENANAmcFi9FaUwC
That was my only option left before I killed them.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAyrGdSgTqix
Ruby:What?
382Please respect copyright.PENANAt2jajaa0Gi
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAnbUzypNSx3
Fang:Pinpoint…
382Please respect copyright.PENANAnIWY5Qwh5z
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
382Please respect copyright.PENANAL3X6DucT3k
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
382Please respect copyright.PENANA8O7CRTCpoM
