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.
272Please respect copyright.PENANA0oav2PwKpf
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.
272Please respect copyright.PENANA0VcH5Aor17
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
272Please respect copyright.PENANAnzcXgKHVMS
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
272Please respect copyright.PENANArRDgOxEhh1
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAA4wwIMTjkh
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
272Please respect copyright.PENANAabsIdtCVVC
Man:Well come on CRY!
272Please respect copyright.PENANAoilOUnvuV4
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAdBR7g5pmu9
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
272Please respect copyright.PENANARM1K4h0pHe
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
272Please respect copyright.PENANA3YfHc9OFgd
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAmMvfwTk61M
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
272Please respect copyright.PENANA1TPvVxRLDa
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
272Please respect copyright.PENANAoB7GCppZds
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.
272Please respect copyright.PENANA82nMuxMZ5L
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
272Please respect copyright.PENANA73JdTK9zKM
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.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAwt50BNfynJ
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:
272Please respect copyright.PENANALV0ROCjygy
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
272Please respect copyright.PENANA9GAdJL4HuH
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
272Please respect copyright.PENANAHiOEVilah3
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAdcEL1nrxHD
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…
272Please respect copyright.PENANA8kMu7vmWaM
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAVxj0UCBWYB
…
272Please respect copyright.PENANAUrUgbvl7Go
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.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAiYnQnZomBP
Woman:And you are?
272Please respect copyright.PENANAAPhWlyekpO
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAjOpUlTzz2u
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
272Please respect copyright.PENANABE8HWbDXhs
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAP1NHExEMeh
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
272Please respect copyright.PENANAjXFJkGmSsY
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
272Please respect copyright.PENANA5h3j5JVkE6
He was enraged…why?
272Please respect copyright.PENANAkNvn4pQX1l
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAfv0EiWVgMR
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
272Please respect copyright.PENANALP0u8HP0St
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
272Please respect copyright.PENANA6FE19mDFDj
Huh?
272Please respect copyright.PENANATWUKvGlAoa
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAHQrKb96sW5
Stepmom:How dare you?
272Please respect copyright.PENANAKnvFjal0z4
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAc8X4KAkTur
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAsPt1A7BMKG
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
272Please respect copyright.PENANA2OFOZhmH7x
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
272Please respect copyright.PENANAZfiQYyMyFP
Ruby:Morning…
272Please respect copyright.PENANAgBC9a27GMq
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
272Please respect copyright.PENANAPjVZSbdOQl
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
272Please respect copyright.PENANAz3uD7vpuZw
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.
272Please respect copyright.PENANACqkj4muUSV
Ruby:FANG!
272Please respect copyright.PENANA0SwNUjZSX0
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAKPcOiCxSWC
Stepmom:Try…
272Please respect copyright.PENANAF1vcipfEBf
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.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAV2LfcJxquX
BOOM!
272Please respect copyright.PENANA7Fz2uepTaP
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
272Please respect copyright.PENANArBGLBovErv
Fang:What was that?
272Please respect copyright.PENANAHtpvMuh3yQ
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
272Please respect copyright.PENANArLfSghERAY
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
272Please respect copyright.PENANAvEaUtrdbxi
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAcWgvFXCMsp
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
272Please respect copyright.PENANAV9mIWEjCqd
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAuLTY2PvXjv
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
272Please respect copyright.PENANA043LdJXl2P
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.
272Please respect copyright.PENANA9xZyEafUce
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
272Please respect copyright.PENANArXI3jMEAfc
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAXQS4BBGEyw
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
272Please respect copyright.PENANAzbbWXDGPrk
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.
272Please respect copyright.PENANA27qtY8eubv
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAlpLvrP3puU
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
272Please respect copyright.PENANAGaD0Qg5ncE
Fang’s POV
272Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jso5eEAoE
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAVpF6AQQ32n
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
272Please respect copyright.PENANACFElYxAOBq
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
272Please respect copyright.PENANA0ALU14l3NJ
Fang:We’re leaving…
272Please respect copyright.PENANAkTcG1oR55s
That was my only option left before I killed them.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAydFQendkoW
Ruby:What?
272Please respect copyright.PENANA0Oif7rHOKW
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAPfH1rq34XP
Fang:Pinpoint…
272Please respect copyright.PENANAACuCqHLuL4
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
272Please respect copyright.PENANAD03BayXFxU
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
272Please respect copyright.PENANAgm5TbUqTMp
