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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzczzrbHkrx
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK0TnHrSQD
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgsOVsgNO6
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WJCIyCcYJ
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrFjR1DtpH
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnnwMzPGMH
Man:Well come on CRY!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYsFvrxO1M
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM4SYjrn9y
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFylRcg29af
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaw4Jx0kON
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dJBOzApMU
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToSrfMWkqi
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAL5eWMisL
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TjLuiowT7
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ITSSWLWqJ
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLzLYqpkim
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:
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1IZoWrlCo
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyBKtgpnF7
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFQKav2NQ6
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEMoM4eoK9
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…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBNTdt0O5B
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVsvm2OWDt
…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nJdOhoHYP
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk5iKpxlNz
Woman:And you are?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciGgEmjq5G
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAE1kOm1XH
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2T928O380
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BHwgHU2WP
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IAZoijsRX
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHA2Yh3Bgq
He was enraged…why?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACsyuafEKM
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgb5UQMOpR
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLh5T0qAs1
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR428uOXVv
Huh?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5eTAThMCA
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoA7pAhsTT
Stepmom:How dare you?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU4xKPAnTC
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpBB9Op3FY
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEdo1oBkDV
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAM9Wo9TfT
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQq4kC4ziX
Ruby:Morning…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6jcxgIe08
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxGkmnePEl
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9meoNRkkm
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmczBH4IMX
Ruby:FANG!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jJwfzerq3
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYbjDeRqiy
Stepmom:Try…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM07gG7zSf7
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgTGz4JiZ2
BOOM!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE4SzXLbi0
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUBAOCrN97
Fang:What was that?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzVPgEFHU3
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFkl3pp52g
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBxA74026U
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBbkJzHTlc
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN9oMKMt1A
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvpb10bjlH
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CcEaMoevh
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6YmYJu1pP
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItD80D6jOK
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F3Kj5uMyO
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9DJ5MSH3h
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP02uXWnwn9
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeTWeZ3qUE
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvDhGrRYx4
Fang’s POV
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpbll4Dc4s
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgipsHDmp3
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwhvOav1jP
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxMxtpYzjg
Fang:We’re leaving…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTABBsmd8J0
That was my only option left before I killed them.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbwwFhkL5y
Ruby:What?
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlilHBT23H
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0lvvTeAok
Fang:Pinpoint…
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMOV1Otpz8
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ9K9c84TA
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
