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.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQXmPvL8Wu1
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.
153Please respect copyright.PENANACpoUvBYlDE
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
153Please respect copyright.PENANAD7P6UEeosX
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAA0WUsKp0qj
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAgOlVmFDxhS
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAg5QZthEecv
Man:Well come on CRY!
153Please respect copyright.PENANAu1QHHBQICX
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAK2EokF5Cal
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
153Please respect copyright.PENANAqgqoLNz8Fj
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAY0RqhQ6uBS
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAsUMZvnobS5
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAm9Cnc40MQy
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
153Please respect copyright.PENANACV5SQLdL2P
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.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbPfmKy6QNz
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAJd8LbC309Y
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.
153Please respect copyright.PENANASwT2Ojp6S2
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:
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEbyVetPdgB
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAozI2JjhJnD
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
153Please respect copyright.PENANAc25ovttLaa
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAqkhGtm0CEc
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…
153Please respect copyright.PENANAsTZ81adCyP
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
153Please respect copyright.PENANADA1nVHSPa5
…
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEdpqrxIWZC
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.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQYLWRlRpuC
Woman:And you are?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAudmMvTaqkB
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAkQTFxRT2FS
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEFV6GvPzul
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAjQfw11zzrl
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAX8jn9R7ea1
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
153Please respect copyright.PENANAuKHe7gy1Pe
He was enraged…why?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAWauDrNKtkn
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAr0mvpMHPvT
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
153Please respect copyright.PENANAeUawU2b8Vi
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
153Please respect copyright.PENANACA3WypHlVI
Huh?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1D4FlEpV3
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
153Please respect copyright.PENANA6ktao6syjZ
Stepmom:How dare you?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAACcFSRtQFv
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAuV0xwvcyN5
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
153Please respect copyright.PENANApl5XtVSSwR
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
153Please respect copyright.PENANAIFKsRP1l9h
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
153Please respect copyright.PENANAvdHHstQAm7
Ruby:Morning…
153Please respect copyright.PENANAo5byVMg899
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
153Please respect copyright.PENANASIoBxNOhSB
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
153Please respect copyright.PENANAJhOkDzsTN5
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.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAgy3drQxqVR
Ruby:FANG!
153Please respect copyright.PENANAghR98th4hI
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
153Please respect copyright.PENANA7nZ6n98RgG
Stepmom:Try…
153Please respect copyright.PENANA7DAQ3lHfBX
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.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAIO8xKTsuYw
BOOM!
153Please respect copyright.PENANAAirFepE0RV
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
153Please respect copyright.PENANATSFAKTTpiw
Fang:What was that?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAs3RH47CPvy
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
153Please respect copyright.PENANAOB9paCXLUa
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
153Please respect copyright.PENANA6PrKyeT0HV
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAsoW65MZfsq
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAZCoOT24xMW
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAebWl3Imw8x
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
153Please respect copyright.PENANALGsVP1rFfQ
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.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAnbQHZ1rGGW
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAx7Az0VNfnF
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAtNpZHzZ5cb
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
153Please respect copyright.PENANAWBLJHarEPA
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.
153Please respect copyright.PENANABtQlnOmVi8
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAwZSIr5wfcq
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
153Please respect copyright.PENANAuTdfBz2m3V
Fang’s POV
153Please respect copyright.PENANA9moANIkNjZ
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
153Please respect copyright.PENANA2TlIJjKf0X
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAx5kDMykyv6
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAPmwPYISc10
Fang:We’re leaving…
153Please respect copyright.PENANA8eDb9FjVy5
That was my only option left before I killed them.
153Please respect copyright.PENANAFidHNWM7rz
Ruby:What?
153Please respect copyright.PENANAjnIBxp9m4S
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
153Please respect copyright.PENANA5hH99Larm0
Fang:Pinpoint…
153Please respect copyright.PENANAFaFvQdJv4g
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
153Please respect copyright.PENANABCoAS2uCJk
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
153Please respect copyright.PENANAprKfS7aBzP
