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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAWwr7xLtEIF
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAw22cvLXGHi
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
344Please respect copyright.PENANATHJT5RMKDH
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
344Please respect copyright.PENANAmqh0OP8p6c
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
344Please respect copyright.PENANApm3vk0jOxf
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3dLg7ccRTM
Man:Well come on CRY!
344Please respect copyright.PENANAhlwe2xsgcg
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAr7qUxSpjle
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
344Please respect copyright.PENANAYVRicTzhVt
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7yMVerhND5
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAuTJQkVxJ2m
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAd5BgUyOWaB
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
344Please respect copyright.PENANAVp7veJimZH
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAJwRYMuNHBj
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
344Please respect copyright.PENANADu7Mp4jVZv
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAXr1OhScknw
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:
344Please respect copyright.PENANArbxGuANWzq
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAzwBQEdSSdA
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6gloxLVw2m
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAMd3YoDJR76
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…
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGvldc0ik52
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAZJztx0wtjE
…
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6hH6MapgT9
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3j1r40euqt
Woman:And you are?
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUvnMuojPpA
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKh8x1Cnpzo
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
344Please respect copyright.PENANAgevqKoNmFo
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAVBDZyR2STk
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
344Please respect copyright.PENANAi5TIvzipdP
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
344Please respect copyright.PENANAl4bV18B91x
He was enraged…why?
344Please respect copyright.PENANANcgMEtVXav
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGOXEgsWcpn
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
344Please respect copyright.PENANAtlL0eBXm63
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
344Please respect copyright.PENANA4n3yIi8pRI
Huh?
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkMPWWAP9dx
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAbOusHexXSj
Stepmom:How dare you?
344Please respect copyright.PENANAHKmW7hTjAt
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
344Please respect copyright.PENANANMPmXn4EmE
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAPxO4Ag1Rlw
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
344Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ98Fzp0WP
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkl1bk2HViT
Ruby:Morning…
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQza58lFbcr
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUhZmWez9jP
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
344Please respect copyright.PENANAJtUlTA4rmD
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKaa0XAzz1c
Ruby:FANG!
344Please respect copyright.PENANAvIY20hBfKp
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA8l3NRaRUuQ
Stepmom:Try…
344Please respect copyright.PENANAqtl3O8yDyw
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkKWTS5rrGW
BOOM!
344Please respect copyright.PENANASuyAl8rXBX
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA9PKHe1gmR1
Fang:What was that?
344Please respect copyright.PENANAzN5fDVP3Zm
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
344Please respect copyright.PENANALKfXCLFOXz
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGfdwaEHgP4
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
344Please respect copyright.PENANANxAepWo3YR
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
344Please respect copyright.PENANAmtk1FTKEyW
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6lbQQ4sXJJ
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
344Please respect copyright.PENANA98V2jAe1L9
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAlKQfLNVcam
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
344Please respect copyright.PENANAxT7ZtNlSHG
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
344Please respect copyright.PENANARPIcZtRkm5
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
344Please respect copyright.PENANAQIG40LgSgS
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANATNRzNZZmcW
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGJg1oXKQB6
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
344Please respect copyright.PENANAOGBPGRRwwZ
Fang’s POV
344Please respect copyright.PENANAaAOP8PTYFT
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAR0FZmdwQYj
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAlTMShxjuxk
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAHQyybn1vwS
Fang:We’re leaving…
344Please respect copyright.PENANA2gcLayTbOo
That was my only option left before I killed them.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA39FeCo7ssT
Ruby:What?
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3vYiQSyQtI
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA4i2cusMrEG
Fang:Pinpoint…
344Please respect copyright.PENANAsXobPyR14B
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA3HIyYzsI4u
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
344Please respect copyright.PENANAftVi1EUKuj
