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.
269Please respect copyright.PENANALBK0aPMwBa
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.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA8IL6ptjVfy
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
269Please respect copyright.PENANA3lOPzbaCg1
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
269Please respect copyright.PENANAni8WzUjDYJ
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAiA3b0lDPIi
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
269Please respect copyright.PENANA0IJ2i2QrfE
Man:Well come on CRY!
269Please respect copyright.PENANAL6bT00O0Ty
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAhj3bGTbHMx
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
269Please respect copyright.PENANAydCNH2VhxD
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAAoZJ6XWELD
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAyYppCFLxEr
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
269Please respect copyright.PENANArlDzNw2FxP
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
269Please respect copyright.PENANAgGwonfKsdx
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.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAKMxPcrHBV1
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
269Please respect copyright.PENANACL3RgB00Jt
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.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA7C1BQ7yecQ
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:
269Please respect copyright.PENANAcc3hXwgvme
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
269Please respect copyright.PENANApiE6AlskZj
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
269Please respect copyright.PENANA7ykHivDTf4
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAEZCJwMnTPF
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…
269Please respect copyright.PENANAN2ZGXwbFGu
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAkDySIuTCep
…
269Please respect copyright.PENANA3LYC3annAX
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.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAtQg34gG1OY
Woman:And you are?
269Please respect copyright.PENANARbbuQF65Pc
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAFg3adOcSdW
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
269Please respect copyright.PENANA2cYNuBaQnD
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAZqlmxPvhNL
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
269Please respect copyright.PENANA6VkbvY5UN5
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
269Please respect copyright.PENANAm5eI9j5nMY
He was enraged…why?
269Please respect copyright.PENANA6sBnERdKZO
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAG3p7G5Cm1G
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
269Please respect copyright.PENANAAhjUtzgEna
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
269Please respect copyright.PENANAAEnHh7yM3i
Huh?
269Please respect copyright.PENANAsJseJq1L6G
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAgQC838EZUJ
Stepmom:How dare you?
269Please respect copyright.PENANAOKvMyxidvR
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAG8WICziU50
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAcOYgZAVW5A
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
269Please respect copyright.PENANADaI4c3w7hP
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
269Please respect copyright.PENANAaajVsBY9gf
Ruby:Morning…
269Please respect copyright.PENANAJRoQI7EGzi
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
269Please respect copyright.PENANAjubBlFut17
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
269Please respect copyright.PENANAxiPvzcJqF2
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.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAzzTvMTCJVk
Ruby:FANG!
269Please respect copyright.PENANASBuYAbSLqe
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAoJvebroQbE
Stepmom:Try…
269Please respect copyright.PENANAU96uw0u0aH
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.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAn5ovHvHOtU
BOOM!
269Please respect copyright.PENANAc4hTYcyiDs
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAtxwIZXbkWw
Fang:What was that?
269Please respect copyright.PENANAcGQa4Mk9Dg
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
269Please respect copyright.PENANAYf228L2w4w
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
269Please respect copyright.PENANAWMLG9Qr0IC
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAnzwQ47M2lw
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
269Please respect copyright.PENANApAg483JeZM
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAsYHQl3Xmdr
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
269Please respect copyright.PENANAfrkgpbDUhW
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.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA7O7vQV9sRO
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
269Please respect copyright.PENANAV4SsFiKdZP
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAALmGmZAZlJ
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
269Please respect copyright.PENANAajcEwaFnqJ
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.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAZGdHLGsZhn
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA86GLVIoZi8
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
269Please respect copyright.PENANA0cPZs3PqAp
Fang’s POV
269Please respect copyright.PENANAnK6OwvYmnc
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA5LkyMWERZ3
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA4GqXRxvh5v
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAzcPZE0mKsC
Fang:We’re leaving…
269Please respect copyright.PENANATETSYfVLPO
That was my only option left before I killed them.
269Please respect copyright.PENANAGOER3fb6Tr
Ruby:What?
269Please respect copyright.PENANApKTYIxqSCb
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA6IGj2Fwcyw
Fang:Pinpoint…
269Please respect copyright.PENANA8m4QVTd5L4
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
269Please respect copyright.PENANA4x4CPY5fQF
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
269Please respect copyright.PENANA4jhBpQGaM4
