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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPDgUlV74mc
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwwWtO3VfEW
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfzg9k3IuOu
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiI0akf3EaD
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkCvTaOmxo4
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0u3rFExOz7
Man:Well come on CRY!
168Please respect copyright.PENANA31NYCXLbQO
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbQNouldDqT
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAME8L23XoKn
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfdeKhSrwZ3
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeux6KbVomD
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUVXLndoAx1
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
168Please respect copyright.PENANABDlgFaJkb9
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAElliVt6iE4
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5zFIQAi4Pk
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKSmI0tpmK6
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:
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5T7ipgd2qs
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAs0ppqpBLA8
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAowWfnGAC00
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVHzDWXFm35
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…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQUCA000pzG
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZOkFX6WwOu
…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuHcvbIgsrt
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAs14bNHvNUc
Woman:And you are?
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3BTv1VO362
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2QUkeWBdsk
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnNkKgTnZ76
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAvWxmvGL7E
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9vun5BUFU9
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
168Please respect copyright.PENANANwQGqLhthD
He was enraged…why?
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2hslDdFmlH
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdzYqqT43Rh
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAImbXhQY4ZH
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGQiKtDNvh9
Huh?
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfLpWLc2nLu
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnsZd43zf62
Stepmom:How dare you?
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcsjcc0NHaQ
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4DiNnXP1M7
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVA3vUpjWf7
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
168Please respect copyright.PENANA61OyDaUnsU
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoL6yqBFlFT
Ruby:Morning…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWf21Ybja5N
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyHbd9Zj3fS
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
168Please respect copyright.PENANANIKUTOxTeE
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6FCUfskEfV
Ruby:FANG!
168Please respect copyright.PENANArcOnx8h81m
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf7nSdy5zPH
Stepmom:Try…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzUdaXJbrlJ
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcD3g202K78
BOOM!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiGfVllHIAI
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7aBSFPmQEo
Fang:What was that?
168Please respect copyright.PENANAepoYHhyLXJ
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAaSaraRxO92
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1RTpydJ8OZ
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkDsurvwigT
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
168Please respect copyright.PENANAh2PAzcCKJw
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
168Please respect copyright.PENANABWEJgxAXKS
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKdSyxbIZco
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7p4f85ySDC
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXqDxpB0zdO
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlpffX5nJUC
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHdYX3NxMVj
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAN0P2lfxxep
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeEtwoTE8LU
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzwOBQXFfII
Fang’s POV
168Please respect copyright.PENANAh9mBGsMZQJ
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3hAKc3hZQu
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAp7VMroeGZL
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjwoQCbEzq4
Fang:We’re leaving…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkFho7L4Vke
That was my only option left before I killed them.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOxBQegQHwk
Ruby:What?
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqz8FV5qxCx
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKmLH8opmoP
Fang:Pinpoint…
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJo2E6ImqJG
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeOY2Irm4ck
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
