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.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcdMpJ0qmu
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8Aeul7I67
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGDQBp1RnQ
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpgmAFgsFB
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6MI6hhZXp
Man:Well come on CRY!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNioOohknA1
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtcrAtgNvZ
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N7o1eGg2B
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyVavLJuns
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlvdX7pI2w
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJZPTYmYST
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcwgKXHj3h
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.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ92ugipSGG
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquZz67b9y6
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.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2joOzmt10
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:
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD2Mo5vjuK
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTodg65Dc4
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv6onYClYd
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oa3NWTZM7
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…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzbn8fKsjw
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ7gYXXkrG
…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD1ZmUg0K7
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.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jSMSi9SVi
Woman:And you are?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThhvim49tt
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB6nBb7Fky
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZFC4r0s3I
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoMUI9Vvpe
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCOPsx33WR
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpT72p22Q7
He was enraged…why?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrBOhC7uir
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCg8bpS7g9
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLgjGoSdnm
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LKc0zoChh
Huh?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNwm4KqVJZ
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gYSIXJ8kS
Stepmom:How dare you?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOqDuuziFQ
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV81cmxD7K
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9qKnGLqX0
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDCktYmL25
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGvUbM7x4m
Ruby:Morning…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mqIkNsZEt
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk02b9hVWLG
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOA7r2R1ZS
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.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpT1OWZuSM
Ruby:FANG!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpbBwXPNaf
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrReNNbzetu
Stepmom:Try…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDjxcNBoMC
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.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdXnNc0AUH
BOOM!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f0aneQLfC
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrWenph1Bd
Fang:What was that?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdDqjPOjMM
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj09W8K6kOF
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40s3fddoGd
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfa4GKoCwG
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoFSnZs1QZ
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqN5DsqhVQ
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9igrBjvhTP
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.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3hFD0tsEF
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fcs3LTaSR
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTUgNGnL4F
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD8GPcTYjS
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.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8NbT7CuOA
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomTI1sJIeR
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUfoWA7l2U
Fang’s POV
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8jFViBeT9
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcm5aNjfo7
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzUzcpy4OO
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7vLsqIUQX
Fang:We’re leaving…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuHfRGfuBw
That was my only option left before I killed them.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGQnolEXgF
Ruby:What?
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y6aqkdHzD
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KTh4F6BtG
Fang:Pinpoint…
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauHwN7Wjr6
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfQRPgzyV5
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
