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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAWHUC2G0jFD
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAlnpYj6gOFX
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
293Please respect copyright.PENANAZ10GjRFWMT
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVncbctCFLm
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAHD6ZweePaE
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
293Please respect copyright.PENANARQRX5w3oqO
Man:Well come on CRY!
293Please respect copyright.PENANAW6KLM1qkNB
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAnrIkzBU27r
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6UH0jqHeiC
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1vM3vFruLJ
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAECDfZ2EoXO
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAHlMJfc8O7H
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
293Please respect copyright.PENANABEhmbuosEf
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANADkqBv0ADp6
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAZzFql3blLN
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEh32Ee7X8h
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:
293Please respect copyright.PENANAoHWimHMMKe
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAKq3B1Vip10
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXxXuT0zZnI
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
293Please respect copyright.PENANArpas3U3Xgj
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…
293Please respect copyright.PENANALKTpdUpBu1
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6QzHONwLIc
…
293Please respect copyright.PENANAaWTBnFOubs
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA1WTXFTIhqh
Woman:And you are?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9sufiTc8d
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEvg8ny49ff
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
293Please respect copyright.PENANAoZaO69ngwV
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAUbxPEUcXQi
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9epgm6lvc6
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQQrMdZgrpz
He was enraged…why?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAK1674ANfkF
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
293Please respect copyright.PENANALagkcSoEfd
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
293Please respect copyright.PENANAyFYMnazbtW
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
293Please respect copyright.PENANAvjEsqXQWuJ
Huh?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAUjCdsNHIf4
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAxlD7W49NZO
Stepmom:How dare you?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzM9xVEWyAO
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
293Please respect copyright.PENANATDPh2o6PZH
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z74zqF9ST
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVyjh5qK1PL
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
293Please respect copyright.PENANAxPPSshBHbl
Ruby:Morning…
293Please respect copyright.PENANA2UCwRBLipO
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
293Please respect copyright.PENANASkf2i5ojpq
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
293Please respect copyright.PENANACPM8GsSzXn
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAhdgvNIr55N
Ruby:FANG!
293Please respect copyright.PENANAkK3ugIEeRw
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA6yeh1XnxAU
Stepmom:Try…
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbRtc86oaBb
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA5aXRc2ZMjd
BOOM!
293Please respect copyright.PENANAKmNKZzvN3p
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAOuVqqmjFrO
Fang:What was that?
293Please respect copyright.PENANA89Pv3rObkS
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
293Please respect copyright.PENANAYoMSt90qIT
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAOn7rnX2mX6
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAGfZBorqTMV
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAONt5jECOlp
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAC6JDhcI3Eq
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
293Please respect copyright.PENANACVSyYaHwt3
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAJbd6V4i38o
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAuNQSAK5mHW
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAVdES3TyjPr
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
293Please respect copyright.PENANA2cvUzC7v3c
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANApME4HCBhvT
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAsN5d9nz9hU
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
293Please respect copyright.PENANAbNJ7CNRSNh
Fang’s POV
293Please respect copyright.PENANAww74N2Km6P
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
293Please respect copyright.PENANANKJ1K4gd74
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAqA6daFYjyO
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
293Please respect copyright.PENANApRPIFWw2J1
Fang:We’re leaving…
293Please respect copyright.PENANAdMijOn1yny
That was my only option left before I killed them.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXG9KcRzI1M
Ruby:What?
293Please respect copyright.PENANA0IU6X9qnhU
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAIUqfOj9hFs
Fang:Pinpoint…
293Please respect copyright.PENANAqaveJxX5bl
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAkRo7IBmCQw
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
