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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA4QRbPY12Vk
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAoSLLwxak9Y
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
379Please respect copyright.PENANAOiffNlT5Su
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
379Please respect copyright.PENANAE3V2vu9KnL
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAvynbRQkVpq
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
379Please respect copyright.PENANAlMBCehoS2I
Man:Well come on CRY!
379Please respect copyright.PENANAwsfznlRymQ
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAQPEWUbkws1
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
379Please respect copyright.PENANAotTWdiZD1X
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAYKY5pM7D6D
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAhtISN3hmHy
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA96xuGHYYvU
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAkP8YjiLubZ
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAf36ktvW4OU
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
379Please respect copyright.PENANAKxq5vxxNWT
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAZRIIReZnWV
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:
379Please respect copyright.PENANAkOWMhBBuBn
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAhRdrW4DlsT
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAt19pprdZMh
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAM0VFL5JI0e
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…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAtf4J9w8iRS
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAaAOUKFHuiE
…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAI0NLbIdYIW
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAP3TUCCXs6u
Woman:And you are?
379Please respect copyright.PENANA57jZEILkIq
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA4j42YZOznP
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
379Please respect copyright.PENANA9gDJwwO7M6
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAkc1x8pSMCE
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
379Please respect copyright.PENANAxK50bMpiQc
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
379Please respect copyright.PENANACHcQLcqqqr
He was enraged…why?
379Please respect copyright.PENANAfTSXnurrtM
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA3gRPNQPFB0
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAKCWTWUaEhJ
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
379Please respect copyright.PENANA7Eom39gS7o
Huh?
379Please respect copyright.PENANA65ighannTX
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAAu5gZAI16f
Stepmom:How dare you?
379Please respect copyright.PENANAAxb6kle7KP
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
379Please respect copyright.PENANADdrFoAphnt
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA3VsIbsnsNk
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAZbns3fTRXw
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAuLFAgN1CHp
Ruby:Morning…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAysFN3h18eW
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
379Please respect copyright.PENANABbmxQWWTgD
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
379Please respect copyright.PENANAiDuoS3bS1T
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAyG0CC6Q2hg
Ruby:FANG!
379Please respect copyright.PENANA8W3oQvOIrC
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA7EQEc36XmB
Stepmom:Try…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAlEzVDMFKCC
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAblX0llqE8l
BOOM!
379Please respect copyright.PENANALcJmU18nqs
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
379Please respect copyright.PENANApWFVJAGw5Q
Fang:What was that?
379Please respect copyright.PENANAZqeLSWcZhI
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
379Please respect copyright.PENANAzoSzN3Jn6g
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
379Please respect copyright.PENANAHonhe3q2bS
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAArFXgi3flZ
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
379Please respect copyright.PENANAcnkafEUsF1
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAXaIxPog5zX
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
379Please respect copyright.PENANAJSFuEzp7Xb
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANASju3JHKEGn
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
379Please respect copyright.PENANABCJbd98uix
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAs1v2ZBANbY
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAajAJj927qJ
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.
379Please respect copyright.PENANADUs16K0DB7
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
379Please respect copyright.PENANApnh1hC8iFr
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
379Please respect copyright.PENANAjmNmEp3RaB
Fang’s POV
379Please respect copyright.PENANAJn6zDKB8UC
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAr6lgEfFY47
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAeaaBArD4kF
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAsdajubkOv3
Fang:We’re leaving…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAFeH234YC4r
That was my only option left before I killed them.
379Please respect copyright.PENANAolUPqu7I64
Ruby:What?
379Please respect copyright.PENANAnaT3FbIEy0
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
379Please respect copyright.PENANA7J4NhALQt9
Fang:Pinpoint…
379Please respect copyright.PENANAFktD2V8NNB
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
379Please respect copyright.PENANANezpj3qSlf
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
379Please respect copyright.PENANANa58AtsjYd
