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.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAZuLUPiqSnd
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!
