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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAlK1LVGI6tO
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA3CYkHyI2fI
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
292Please respect copyright.PENANAlb7RAplkTH
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
292Please respect copyright.PENANAtIam8e689U
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAndA4fMAAhf
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
292Please respect copyright.PENANAH1IzHxZznE
Man:Well come on CRY!
292Please respect copyright.PENANAZQeGU3W5iJ
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAQ16ftksPjc
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
292Please respect copyright.PENANAT9wpL9j5pV
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAFlMxbKKyI2
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAP6ji3U37J1
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAx2LmjSYzra
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
292Please respect copyright.PENANAAUoml12lvU
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANANHh1BhohR0
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
292Please respect copyright.PENANAlE2bU29UFF
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA1ruR2SIl9k
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:
292Please respect copyright.PENANAh98pK1bXCD
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAPHpMrySO2e
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
292Please respect copyright.PENANAWUYVAWZUGA
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAhrvOnnB5Mj
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…
292Please respect copyright.PENANAjPBMgB69qg
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAGtALSRVZ2U
…
292Please respect copyright.PENANAYrAOk0jZ0n
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAhBKNiX349B
Woman:And you are?
292Please respect copyright.PENANAOb96OuhvLb
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAHiHXa4hpy6
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
292Please respect copyright.PENANAOXGZhLwY0T
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
292Please respect copyright.PENANABhARHzGQhb
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
292Please respect copyright.PENANAsSGgVKvKqA
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
292Please respect copyright.PENANAMzJGSedE0k
He was enraged…why?
292Please respect copyright.PENANASdlenV4nx9
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAZDwBE15hAn
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
292Please respect copyright.PENANAWWRlaurdzm
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
292Please respect copyright.PENANAUn9czqdijP
Huh?
292Please respect copyright.PENANA0NMeHvwgi8
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAusxNHXdKNk
Stepmom:How dare you?
292Please respect copyright.PENANACfMFfohSVA
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jm09t8jIq
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAdzPuNoQ4Ri
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
292Please respect copyright.PENANAwRiwxjW9od
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
292Please respect copyright.PENANABVOEvjSoun
Ruby:Morning…
292Please respect copyright.PENANAKGEULdAhZs
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
292Please respect copyright.PENANAlErO4fKnam
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
292Please respect copyright.PENANA9i58gWT7xB
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAfOrxfvLIw1
Ruby:FANG!
292Please respect copyright.PENANA5uBHz7A7bd
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAoW2P3MfR1A
Stepmom:Try…
292Please respect copyright.PENANAbsjrbmm2Xy
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAn4aZeSiYG0
BOOM!
292Please respect copyright.PENANAFPG5v19KFU
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAAFf5Gz16EN
Fang:What was that?
292Please respect copyright.PENANAOSBQfq3Q4M
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
292Please respect copyright.PENANACSpQlaND1k
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
292Please respect copyright.PENANAbmUhYgjve0
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAyZzRnY8Exz
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
292Please respect copyright.PENANAbbNxXcY6Ll
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAtk2ttmGPm9
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
292Please respect copyright.PENANAbzuwO8nBq2
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA8E4yuLSQwl
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
292Please respect copyright.PENANAY8nvpiLRd0
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAeMQxGsgGpa
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
292Please respect copyright.PENANAAsLFQw1RNT
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.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAls8dHjOu3g
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAZOfJXYLEeZ
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
292Please respect copyright.PENANA7N4hhxxLHL
Fang’s POV
292Please respect copyright.PENANAV28kDmHcgV
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAxow3UdQ3B2
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAjCRRnvN7UK
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAg0kFZWplHM
Fang:We’re leaving…
292Please respect copyright.PENANAOHLDGkoLBq
That was my only option left before I killed them.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA77v1GAglGL
Ruby:What?
292Please respect copyright.PENANAMiZayGEppb
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
292Please respect copyright.PENANAKEpbUT3eoZ
Fang:Pinpoint…
292Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZNMehYokK
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
292Please respect copyright.PENANA5eualbusQn
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
