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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAt5lbBBxSJs
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAHddeu6aOkY
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
311Please respect copyright.PENANAaMHT3bA2cF
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAL3i2Ag0V2P
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
311Please respect copyright.PENANASHYVoR03HU
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAY0cSVLLhHE
Man:Well come on CRY!
311Please respect copyright.PENANArNP4N2eTCM
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAYlRl7cOrOS
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
311Please respect copyright.PENANAsKjbY1s3Z6
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA8eiSAr6X3q
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAQfuKxVN5Vm
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAdQCzc8qjKW
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
311Please respect copyright.PENANA9QpmxwySbs
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA9eNADU2xST
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3E6epCRT9
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA33uxiVvW0C
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:
311Please respect copyright.PENANAqQn35YuZkG
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA9QDmFpZdgo
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
311Please respect copyright.PENANAxgejsZMP7u
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAkeJbBEDniP
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…
311Please respect copyright.PENANAR3UBBPQnk1
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAJLdta3zyeY
…
311Please respect copyright.PENANAxfFGOCNlCR
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANALyEBPqEjBF
Woman:And you are?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAicGIXOBv5s
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA0VCTDWXTW5
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
311Please respect copyright.PENANABHctSGpnZt
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAM3ACHHOBQk
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAgN6F4v0ABQ
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
311Please respect copyright.PENANAWZE6zvKgD3
He was enraged…why?
311Please respect copyright.PENANA3lTagkfCQJ
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAfV3lc9h7VZ
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
311Please respect copyright.PENANAa9ZQWudm5n
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
311Please respect copyright.PENANA6aSzHWL6wB
Huh?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAAtZYNSbT0a
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAvr4y2wShdO
Stepmom:How dare you?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAUgSRhkdt2F
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ror0DqHqR
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA2Uzl72B5oO
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
311Please respect copyright.PENANAsqaY9PodfM
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
311Please respect copyright.PENANAI5W16EP4pP
Ruby:Morning…
311Please respect copyright.PENANAhQncQt9pBq
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
311Please respect copyright.PENANApz6eAiWHVQ
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
311Please respect copyright.PENANAW581G6bodz
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAj7559aztFf
Ruby:FANG!
311Please respect copyright.PENANAdpjTlARz3w
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAp9O8G8IPmj
Stepmom:Try…
311Please respect copyright.PENANAjOlXUj56EX
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAIFAMgpSDdd
BOOM!
311Please respect copyright.PENANA4jVPcmzPku
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAo27VvedCNb
Fang:What was that?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAIVkopU7J0T
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
311Please respect copyright.PENANAvsMvVUAuYE
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAaBkEuLKSCZ
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAU6afMS5ch6
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAs7sul3JjiA
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA3ydOIq7YTz
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
311Please respect copyright.PENANAap1aLRnsPk
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAo6M61zIu0G
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAtfKRPRPpB2
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA2uCgbGwmPt
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
311Please respect copyright.PENANAqYjxZteV4x
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.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ4tM0bjHT
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAcFbYFdAduk
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
311Please respect copyright.PENANAOJm5wFhhv7
Fang’s POV
311Please respect copyright.PENANAraLulMV0AQ
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
311Please respect copyright.PENANA06BsynDdy6
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
311Please respect copyright.PENANATB8vCIKbaD
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAeNFRgbI81y
Fang:We’re leaving…
311Please respect copyright.PENANAGcRpJrvye2
That was my only option left before I killed them.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAbi2vU1oVVs
Ruby:What?
311Please respect copyright.PENANAxVVo7PS22p
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
311Please respect copyright.PENANADRuRZoaopA
Fang:Pinpoint…
311Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4vB4gwxHP
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
311Please respect copyright.PENANAyEoR9aoFYW
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
311Please respect copyright.PENANAAHQN8hLR9F
