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.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4njOo0wTBt
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gbN26oNfi
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ASOS66wrM
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkLZbYd6TS
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzGyRclgBI
Man:Well come on CRY!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjWIaQINlA
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnK454dqRp
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkbsEMETmr
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhzlonVyO8
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeOuj6Hgbu
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9g5LXLRsf
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqMBLsm0z5
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.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZIPC2A1Nn
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwGk5F8xsH
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.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuDSJiDw9H
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:
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeew4fGsCmD
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7U78M2gN3
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0LMc2GqUa
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G8ofmn0Wm
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…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlg4hSw4hI
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w6HpitMHa
…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6vRZa3jrE
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.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKOsTgUa4f
Woman:And you are?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfODjadO3i
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaFTBB0qCw
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HIaNJUrnn
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y6jl1o1Pa
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdI4R2oryl
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtEH4VhPbn
He was enraged…why?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HhwIg30bF
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FhL15IGdl
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI3zFWLYU3
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPlJkJDD5k
Huh?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWh9PGZpdO
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ORhPOsEc6
Stepmom:How dare you?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsGnNQ0kbh
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3qtra3yDY
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JcqmbyHEw
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7hDbAHMVR
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DHFbHUCiS
Ruby:Morning…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdG7pjMOU3
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14XrzKjvCL
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI5D1gFfyj
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.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLPtHOoFkf
Ruby:FANG!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReaZ095zSJ
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cGrVOHvkO
Stepmom:Try…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip9c7MKLiO
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.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8pnh2Ztvx
BOOM!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPJLSw1Kvk
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgjlfxVaR9
Fang:What was that?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYstyKtAK3
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGBa47m5fs
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMOmekyje0
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJqKzaAJB3
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRdzcLdatb
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDzKOjTd5q
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmobxM33EhZ
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.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZQRzrbYxa
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4I30cptfE
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjClEORsD4
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJGbtvnxRY
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.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIvtYM8tbC
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArOjbW7mfu
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmPebQD10S
Fang’s POV
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1TU0izfGC
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFxkkxGEWk
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdlT4TBE13
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7QClQuL84
Fang:We’re leaving…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTajTA2ifGI
That was my only option left before I killed them.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmTKtakNrl
Ruby:What?
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJERyTmkUtG
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3l99KgtyQ
Fang:Pinpoint…
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kcflAw3st
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHmVnrQDyR
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
