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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA2bMSiVs2mf
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAIndIMJUgMx
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
154Please respect copyright.PENANAUPHt31mwgz
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
154Please respect copyright.PENANAg9aLp3SoG5
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA7vbY6RXgmH
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
154Please respect copyright.PENANAfdHMXDptNE
Man:Well come on CRY!
154Please respect copyright.PENANAGrKXhv08Wy
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAYIvfhsEvEZ
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
154Please respect copyright.PENANA13N5YhuKbU
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAi3DdwhEIXi
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAQojRpFfJn0
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAKoPBLY5NOR
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
154Please respect copyright.PENANAi6VbtHNTLi
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA2uWgKDuWly
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
154Please respect copyright.PENANAtjI6sXM2LX
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAMyj7mcxfkc
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:
154Please respect copyright.PENANAMQsd8rBAJ3
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAnyxL0mmfzb
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
154Please respect copyright.PENANAS8ugTyZYxq
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAtuQG3iuBk5
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…
154Please respect copyright.PENANALSApd8nIyH
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA4odO7WxCDg
…
154Please respect copyright.PENANAVVlOMViqNj
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAATT5szf46d
Woman:And you are?
154Please respect copyright.PENANAwaQX6DGccP
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAuLJD78sCTj
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
154Please respect copyright.PENANAGmPeY1lAt0
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
154Please respect copyright.PENANABYNocAM57q
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
154Please respect copyright.PENANAjI5Fzng9Q8
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
154Please respect copyright.PENANAFXxAwhqaB4
He was enraged…why?
154Please respect copyright.PENANAs7U4S2Eu5g
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAHcnXYIAeF7
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
154Please respect copyright.PENANApKP5LGnoe3
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
154Please respect copyright.PENANAwKg78rVNY7
Huh?
154Please respect copyright.PENANAt5D6wMSxd7
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAYPYYV2Q51f
Stepmom:How dare you?
154Please respect copyright.PENANA7QK0dOwiUg
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAyj3JBngFey
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAfNm5qLW5qv
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
154Please respect copyright.PENANAbfVvmqd2QO
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
154Please respect copyright.PENANAdDobWurTAt
Ruby:Morning…
154Please respect copyright.PENANA9hk4ZIXjlq
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
154Please respect copyright.PENANAFHH5S2YkMS
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
154Please respect copyright.PENANA9vHVoTqUp0
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA1e008ygeTe
Ruby:FANG!
154Please respect copyright.PENANAlIleBfRg0s
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAKvDQuCboxx
Stepmom:Try…
154Please respect copyright.PENANA8tETk60jm5
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA3lSBlRT4rF
BOOM!
154Please respect copyright.PENANA9QnvNhl1k8
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAlqij5mRRrO
Fang:What was that?
154Please respect copyright.PENANAKw4DzrgzNf
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
154Please respect copyright.PENANAHYUKn9xa3r
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
154Please respect copyright.PENANAG4o87FF7FC
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAo87Ku6ErnC
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
154Please respect copyright.PENANA5rLrDYIMYK
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA6LKbio9fSf
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
154Please respect copyright.PENANA7DcK63rq3U
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAASJgcdigMh
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
154Please respect copyright.PENANADuQr2K7v6H
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAwATmKgKW13
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
154Please respect copyright.PENANAVMAjC6uQe6
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAg534TolfuH
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAxKvAtj21xv
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
154Please respect copyright.PENANAgHxSxLVVgY
Fang’s POV
154Please respect copyright.PENANADVsOVdT9QP
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAu1nX3gCNZU
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
154Please respect copyright.PENANArnEDArYEyP
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAiEFFMi6mSc
Fang:We’re leaving…
154Please respect copyright.PENANAAi9qAUK7lW
That was my only option left before I killed them.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAtrDkq0tum1
Ruby:What?
154Please respect copyright.PENANA7RifoPSO7B
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAkRFxBIJCVT
Fang:Pinpoint…
154Please respect copyright.PENANAy5bFyNwUAz
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
154Please respect copyright.PENANALbW3SkFmof
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
