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.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAMbvSxhxmMU
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.
299Please respect copyright.PENANADztKHrRhfg
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
299Please respect copyright.PENANAXzOWb3C3RB
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
299Please respect copyright.PENANAiU6QjcV2N9
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
299Please respect copyright.PENANASo2rj9G5OC
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
299Please respect copyright.PENANAG5a35RzAkt
Man:Well come on CRY!
299Please respect copyright.PENANAf4bDN5zyDm
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAssgCPehDWb
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
299Please respect copyright.PENANAOCMCUEcUYj
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
299Please respect copyright.PENANACDPtw4PA68
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAqrcuW6RUgj
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
299Please respect copyright.PENANACpBugAZMsn
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
299Please respect copyright.PENANAcUHighRlWt
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.
299Please respect copyright.PENANA5SCidrQb6Y
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
299Please respect copyright.PENANApCLo7A9BqS
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.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAzV7juziXYv
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:
299Please respect copyright.PENANAq2MsSdaWMB
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAhX9BhCIJn8
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
299Please respect copyright.PENANAMwlq8cvtxh
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAGw1TOVte7H
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…
299Please respect copyright.PENANANAQ8QanHsX
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAbAadXnhzZA
…
299Please respect copyright.PENANAaiGPfD273H
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.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAM1K87W846n
Woman:And you are?
299Please respect copyright.PENANA8o4dEFIcxA
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
299Please respect copyright.PENANA8WWFV2crpV
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
299Please respect copyright.PENANAB2Dj3h7joc
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
299Please respect copyright.PENANA09BL0uQ1ZW
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
299Please respect copyright.PENANAqpuiToPhPF
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
299Please respect copyright.PENANAJKY6YP4uUx
He was enraged…why?
299Please respect copyright.PENANAf8sUZ6nqHC
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAQCvSzqiuEO
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
299Please respect copyright.PENANA1Tn4HpPAuj
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
299Please respect copyright.PENANASYbADqdOvn
Huh?
299Please respect copyright.PENANAZBKhuLpWpX
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAmg7BvhOm0Q
Stepmom:How dare you?
299Please respect copyright.PENANAlobB9xvtA2
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAgYEeeLc2NV
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAealVIGHpAr
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
299Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vy65x0uyb
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
299Please respect copyright.PENANA0JUWgjLy0m
Ruby:Morning…
299Please respect copyright.PENANAPn41ftjWRx
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
299Please respect copyright.PENANAy9FLiQ9QlN
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
299Please respect copyright.PENANAdOA6E5ejAC
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.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAUESPCfHxl9
Ruby:FANG!
299Please respect copyright.PENANA2zTR7CG00B
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
299Please respect copyright.PENANA5BzSpvLWyz
Stepmom:Try…
299Please respect copyright.PENANAVzTU2PrLCk
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.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAu3uIZBwbMH
BOOM!
299Please respect copyright.PENANAqSlsyaJLCX
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAQOggIsfyMX
Fang:What was that?
299Please respect copyright.PENANA4iYs3pbX4A
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
299Please respect copyright.PENANAJdh4cfHuqC
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
299Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9uT3kFBhe
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAAPqGq7xbBJ
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
299Please respect copyright.PENANALcA1cZ0BIB
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAJxVyTBFepe
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
299Please respect copyright.PENANAoSK7MZ0XIr
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.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAtWMwPj9lxd
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
299Please respect copyright.PENANA24tyVfFkZZ
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAF2KPGkPbi6
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
299Please respect copyright.PENANAUfT5dKUeQS
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.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAERgVhPc2zF
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAaO8VCB21ec
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
299Please respect copyright.PENANAXKGldxORhz
Fang’s POV
299Please respect copyright.PENANAynOmbKHAiY
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAaBmDH6f6eT
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAHYnf0SLHh4
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAreeS7m80K9
Fang:We’re leaving…
299Please respect copyright.PENANAWExw029sw5
That was my only option left before I killed them.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAcpPUWyUBDy
Ruby:What?
299Please respect copyright.PENANAY4Xp9Ltne5
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
299Please respect copyright.PENANAsHD39yy7u5
Fang:Pinpoint…
299Please respect copyright.PENANAXOoyk1BRxM
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
299Please respect copyright.PENANANG8ZhVbLui
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
