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.

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.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiXMTiQAUT
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEAKnz4QCo
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwdJBQXMlW
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ6z0WB8oo
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHQid5rrPa
Man:Well come on CRY!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvPkoVPDe3
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1EuTnGt6w
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYKuyIwAyC
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2Ytk4tpht
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDgXWym13L
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXw6hpWUgk
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Dl92ZW1b
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.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon1At2dcxK
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMPCE8Jf8e
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.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkGOo7a8p7
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:
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxfqGPVSWQ
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycWltHTMj2
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qs00Zl5ak
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwmA1EnTGo
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…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMWEYpL65Y
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEh8dNgkRX
…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHhjyLVXIp
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.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBWaKQvzZl
Woman:And you are?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmXuYmpwkH
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsaznQsDTV
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxvuPvI5Hj
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe1YHd2RUq
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkuY9V6Ck3
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMtm3x95vx
He was enraged…why?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAmgfyEb0C
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe6w4byTZy
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTo1jeWaD8
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrVglhMX7u
Huh?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QpafwSnfA
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAuRlxWU4L
Stepmom:How dare you?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFS7VlDzfY
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD6iLHkQBe
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQgCTxJIk9
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHphYOGxes
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY9KiNmbko
Ruby:Morning…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgpB7QZrdk
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtmA5ufaQD
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXULIe9lJV
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.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwiEytCkE2
Ruby:FANG!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKFObQvKmQ
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDjdScW6St
Stepmom:Try…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuf8fRs4tY
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.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOQsJJZUSq
BOOM!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOjmD2SfiO
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIONT2uV8Go
Fang:What was that?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YcOqhBLQM
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUbB3S6NXV
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WdsmB9VdW
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOAnhWnKuk
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XxvHY45vE
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ESijqDh4o
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMsVu4MTz1
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.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyJtORTFRY
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoonKHrdtj3
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko3eaS2zfv
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcvrDE5hXE
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.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPgBh034MS
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqY5KU30ym
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm0HLQebY6
Fang’s POV
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6IU0ptQ3U
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNceQtlgtND
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE1rqLcDxr
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypSg4Jmiw7
Fang:We’re leaving…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a83t7dOlE
That was my only option left before I killed them.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL5WNPuvuQ
Ruby:What?
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmioiyo4Mt
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EtMTgjMJR
Fang:Pinpoint…
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7PtlJMl9i
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbc6Zo8RRv
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls6gtPcAfB
