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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA5EXIoZ2co5
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAbYtOBmFQT9
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
163Please respect copyright.PENANARiMkCL7lQx
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAxmbji6LiUL
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAEYleLrdZto
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAj4Vt7nW6OE
Man:Well come on CRY!
163Please respect copyright.PENANAxf79yPpCwa
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
163Please respect copyright.PENANABTAw8UhvKW
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
163Please respect copyright.PENANAiWmbCUwugj
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAblLcqdZabo
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAbazPg6tMEv
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAexWi2LNvSV
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
163Please respect copyright.PENANASXKaDSMJWd
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANArr9gs4CF5Q
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAvIts1yDgay
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAX4FYxIh2B0
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:
163Please respect copyright.PENANAPEIPeeSQSU
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAiUgJ4CjDhP
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
163Please respect copyright.PENANAso3WXWQKkx
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAWKIYDjXNj4
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…
163Please respect copyright.PENANAWObSe3Llun
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZXp6tgBR35
…
163Please respect copyright.PENANAeSvV85BkxI
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAPd9yMNqKw3
Woman:And you are?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAFazTWd7JwB
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAI6dET14Sb5
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
163Please respect copyright.PENANARSmwFyfslj
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
163Please respect copyright.PENANACZEADVwvkF
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
163Please respect copyright.PENANARclRHolbza
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
163Please respect copyright.PENANAI52Z9V11w3
He was enraged…why?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAMpoOZjuDyF
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAe5LXzx6QzG
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
163Please respect copyright.PENANA0dgg7oiV5o
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
163Please respect copyright.PENANAVDaayrWwXf
Huh?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAWUF1nWPvTL
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAFXspktauwj
Stepmom:How dare you?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwuDYYKJ3Kc
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA9S100vP10e
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAin7r04Kyb4
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
163Please respect copyright.PENANArdruWu73EE
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
163Please respect copyright.PENANAedr2kTnQda
Ruby:Morning…
163Please respect copyright.PENANAeyQPdd6qal
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
163Please respect copyright.PENANAHzxpihZfSR
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
163Please respect copyright.PENANARXbA56NirZ
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAnKCjNiP9ge
Ruby:FANG!
163Please respect copyright.PENANApXYCv3s5fR
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA8Q70yrQpAG
Stepmom:Try…
163Please respect copyright.PENANA0CXgxSBt1l
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA4PytAkCsEJ
BOOM!
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdgyyel2wDy
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAwmGQIf0uiP
Fang:What was that?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfhVEyVnBGy
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
163Please respect copyright.PENANA3y70TAvqcO
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdDXiTA4aGO
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAj8DSKrvON5
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAqEunWauYaU
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAXcgg51JR4Y
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
163Please respect copyright.PENANAEt4StXmYnH
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA64NhLzd8fU
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAi1g1DyV2XJ
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA4xrTFyecyp
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
163Please respect copyright.PENANATUnrtmGpQS
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfH78zdSZUp
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA64lf0xMOMZ
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
163Please respect copyright.PENANAotXtLyNuDR
Fang’s POV
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfkb17O7DKx
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAtsNiuB5v08
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA1fDdKID4wb
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA4VI9Tcbi0z
Fang:We’re leaving…
163Please respect copyright.PENANAcbjkgHyO2M
That was my only option left before I killed them.
163Please respect copyright.PENANADZSC2IOmL3
Ruby:What?
163Please respect copyright.PENANAiobuNkwT3x
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2sidSBf3XE
Fang:Pinpoint…
163Please respect copyright.PENANAiSQDk3z5xF
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA94gNb9Lz5J
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
163Please respect copyright.PENANAeCjYAYtumn
