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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAEQl8N2z65w
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAGxRU5tEmd3
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
336Please respect copyright.PENANANaSiGW9whi
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
336Please respect copyright.PENANAVxv3X5R7DC
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAaxNiaPIHfB
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
336Please respect copyright.PENANAufL8i77BvQ
Man:Well come on CRY!
336Please respect copyright.PENANAqyPkhhWi6q
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
336Please respect copyright.PENANATWv3PXGlkU
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
336Please respect copyright.PENANAlvMgKFTbqi
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
336Please respect copyright.PENANA6uT5cPEvEM
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAyMrBmv5NqL
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
336Please respect copyright.PENANA7yKOfqRhjv
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
336Please respect copyright.PENANAkmLCsefIpd
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAud2hkbhU8I
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
336Please respect copyright.PENANACMrLSc8ILl
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAu9S04yiZAd
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:
336Please respect copyright.PENANAG4TVIAnZY9
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
336Please respect copyright.PENANA8ezwGXqlIF
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
336Please respect copyright.PENANAyzpj97QJ20
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAsHA9SZ4dEV
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…
336Please respect copyright.PENANAAhm2BbmwbX
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
336Please respect copyright.PENANALxxwDNXa6d
…
336Please respect copyright.PENANAYuwWP21NUN
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAmOXbxrt2pG
Woman:And you are?
336Please respect copyright.PENANAtcrxj4qYb3
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAnA27LmQYWL
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
336Please respect copyright.PENANAnJk9xwIdPB
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAwtEv8jaUzi
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
336Please respect copyright.PENANAoIG0fF8Wi6
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
336Please respect copyright.PENANAGGiTSj43Ty
He was enraged…why?
336Please respect copyright.PENANArT2Wvv5jrn
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAhVmW5Jhoyc
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
336Please respect copyright.PENANAzlOZCRgbzR
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
336Please respect copyright.PENANAphkNqnbPmz
Huh?
336Please respect copyright.PENANAEbxHdOmUF8
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAHOhdzVir0j
Stepmom:How dare you?
336Please respect copyright.PENANAvTEFvS5eOB
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAlfYp7Axuw5
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAEdu2fP2BVF
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
336Please respect copyright.PENANAxdwz8UqD5E
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
336Please respect copyright.PENANAewxgAJWVWC
Ruby:Morning…
336Please respect copyright.PENANA0jYJsPZH59
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
336Please respect copyright.PENANAwU0OMKdzqm
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
336Please respect copyright.PENANAm8ZgKw3XeD
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAx2okQ2IveT
Ruby:FANG!
336Please respect copyright.PENANAo9x1CiWpss
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
336Please respect copyright.PENANACOTlLnqlz3
Stepmom:Try…
336Please respect copyright.PENANAR5BUDHniTV
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAJc2SCdIYPV
BOOM!
336Please respect copyright.PENANAdb7wwnmMvO
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
336Please respect copyright.PENANArvwOvP6yv4
Fang:What was that?
336Please respect copyright.PENANA1QH96L4GsB
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
336Please respect copyright.PENANAeS2txowxSw
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
336Please respect copyright.PENANAULwLBqUD68
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAGC9TgE1E2V
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
336Please respect copyright.PENANAFFPkcup3oM
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
336Please respect copyright.PENANA33DEfYf4cJ
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
336Please respect copyright.PENANAQMdZBFUDEC
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANABmPghZ23ph
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
336Please respect copyright.PENANASR6MPjUotF
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAXx2ruF3e0r
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
336Please respect copyright.PENANArMoNzOKtMd
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.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAmyCpu0B6Yh
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAd1mjHz0JxS
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
336Please respect copyright.PENANAZBBl5p36Az
Fang’s POV
336Please respect copyright.PENANAD8dHP89oNm
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
336Please respect copyright.PENANA9FYOQ8pXov
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
336Please respect copyright.PENANA6axRD6H8dd
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAv4XGe2UDI7
Fang:We’re leaving…
336Please respect copyright.PENANAS5YsybG5yn
That was my only option left before I killed them.
336Please respect copyright.PENANAvvMlbU3SzS
Ruby:What?
336Please respect copyright.PENANAyVxht2Yi5H
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
336Please respect copyright.PENANADJ0lniYU3R
Fang:Pinpoint…
336Please respect copyright.PENANALxyiONOjFn
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
336Please respect copyright.PENANABIfutsvX7W
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
336Please respect copyright.PENANARieDyN3dOS
