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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rJYAYpAaK
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrK13NLEMt
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlygilHT0Qn
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwZLQUncKt
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi26tMKXnU9
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3LSldixCM
Man:Well come on CRY!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGb22bo7sR
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yrC57nFw2
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXzXdOBl2F
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZAfjqWDlU
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqbAQf50zn
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTrCUPigXw
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVeQEYTto5
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4nKNFUliX
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg3vAWQcng
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEcuD6DxaI
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:
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRHpqog5dM
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOMN5vcb5F
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKF4ATZgTQ
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MpLukjOLL
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…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4TEhl6xXz
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJg9Y9jO9f
…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZZoZ4f6CB
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ5wum49y2
Woman:And you are?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGAO76IGSW
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPsIh0gFNe
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C44Q7BuA6
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZnumZtuPF
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpSFGsUoJ4
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ528dsFgmuO
He was enraged…why?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeZ33f2DNA
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBONYqSJ0lI
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyeEzWVLTj
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51hZc2IHre
Huh?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cwr88Uhdg
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdE5RGXgkH
Stepmom:How dare you?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrlOMqcNiK
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pUSZCc8Ok
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6csFV06yf
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a6SEzCZL3
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sXaDPYaXr
Ruby:Morning…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZo2nu69hN
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t6KmODfRp
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32pBmhwgei
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVjmaQPxxE
Ruby:FANG!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcBRRMz1iv
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNzYYwz33E
Stepmom:Try…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYw9mK0nBX
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5GqunAYoE
BOOM!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMNrfs5YV8
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OdWFXTNjn
Fang:What was that?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPEh2cTHxS
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfXTNjyZT0
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXWkHnPSW5
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBECrujsFOC
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp6tarkYwg
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CU0RdgsF1
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxb5Wv8svg
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnl1XBZsbV
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjsEEDcNth
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuJnIXTDqn
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQs2O1j9L0
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKb5EPqhii
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d9Flq1pBK
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOn9wzrzQg
Fang’s POV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ4qebjMOh
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P7WgxyScq
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2AIf04YG9
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgC0k8F5ko
Fang:We’re leaving…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqavOSJGfyy
That was my only option left before I killed them.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSaWl2skSk
Ruby:What?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ytgMDaCM
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd2LPw1X5j
Fang:Pinpoint…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z07Lv4UWX
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaRcQACkDJ
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCtTOU4jGT
