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
