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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAS5IS944Ewm
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAuWDZLBa5Xi
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
277Please respect copyright.PENANAu4lG3Wr8jB
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOeMVKx82EK
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOkzLPzcBa0
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
277Please respect copyright.PENANAiougPDxDE8
Man:Well come on CRY!
277Please respect copyright.PENANArf7IaZMIZ8
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAhmalf9Xgcf
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
277Please respect copyright.PENANACe05wyHE7F
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAGEeeiyNgBW
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAeHpqKdw2xa
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAXPu6GnfyMf
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAhq4ArBnk7f
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANABVqbWbGuR6
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
277Please respect copyright.PENANA1daUveTS28
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA38TMhlv4PO
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:
277Please respect copyright.PENANAlZGekf3P68
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAjU25tLcDfh
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
277Please respect copyright.PENANArar8QXAAfF
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAY8D2gSN1Fx
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…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAC7Pql6HgUB
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAKJFfHxdq7L
…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAgytkctuPQl
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANASmjA8Z0Uts
Woman:And you are?
277Please respect copyright.PENANAkPgrqikLwI
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAss49YUHuSQ
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
277Please respect copyright.PENANAFR9AMBF3sP
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAS6rdbPN1Q6
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
277Please respect copyright.PENANA4j9fn59pH5
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
277Please respect copyright.PENANARIcZGENM0Y
He was enraged…why?
277Please respect copyright.PENANAtppI0qlD3V
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
277Please respect copyright.PENANALSylEzGBfC
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAlZgkze3FQL
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
277Please respect copyright.PENANANNcJEd2yy6
Huh?
277Please respect copyright.PENANA2QvCOtYuQy
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAtkvg4o5RHq
Stepmom:How dare you?
277Please respect copyright.PENANAEQBSXolEOu
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAIhyRkLik96
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAeHmEaoIom4
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOhyHn0OM7O
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAqrU0x7fdNa
Ruby:Morning…
277Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ay9gcIrte
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAjrT9wxKxmN
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
277Please respect copyright.PENANA4vSgotBhQG
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAbiTasb6I9E
Ruby:FANG!
277Please respect copyright.PENANAUzxKTPEOCc
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAqAocptCSr2
Stepmom:Try…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAtBGAosaW9X
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAxlBv55t1eo
BOOM!
277Please respect copyright.PENANAKc2lto5gQp
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2aQ5B24Sl
Fang:What was that?
277Please respect copyright.PENANAU80Wlel8HN
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
277Please respect copyright.PENANAzxWIb5ERKe
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
277Please respect copyright.PENANA3PjEbGXZ1N
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
277Please respect copyright.PENANATxpY3CEOdC
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
277Please respect copyright.PENANAjrJ4QxAKsU
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
277Please respect copyright.PENANArBcS4dMImC
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOM014Y85XF
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANASxBOt6h2gJ
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
277Please respect copyright.PENANATE81E8XIFg
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAY82oPGlN9e
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAvD865zBqh3
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.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAHlmrYZKM2r
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA400DGD6JGF
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
277Please respect copyright.PENANANYjyttLEhD
Fang’s POV
277Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8E37StE28
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA23P9QIAbUY
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAGsEHQyuY5x
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAAOyFlVtLHO
Fang:We’re leaving…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAMAj0vLCnnZ
That was my only option left before I killed them.
277Please respect copyright.PENANAoxhU37yG2o
Ruby:What?
277Please respect copyright.PENANAOQueY30xjg
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
277Please respect copyright.PENANArngZoVtsJz
Fang:Pinpoint…
277Please respect copyright.PENANAat2SQTTjYm
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
277Please respect copyright.PENANA3SzAd4ee1Q
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
