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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAU947y4BV3T
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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANA5K7watNdrD
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
345Please respect copyright.PENANAiXo7kZzkvq
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
345Please respect copyright.PENANAzCH5zYbLjx
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAlqxRbJKENb
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
345Please respect copyright.PENANAgAovLzAtKG
Man:Well come on CRY!
345Please respect copyright.PENANAPI2ePIy72c
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAsX5TLaLgP7
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
345Please respect copyright.PENANAKPxGrr8YPz
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAyj7iAdqFm9
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAv82O4BlvvF
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAgBxBVFo9Pl
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
345Please respect copyright.PENANAI9SJxgDys7
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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAi84JOal33B
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
345Please respect copyright.PENANA8d1bqAHgu1
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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAfeCQ50C1Lw
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:
345Please respect copyright.PENANAwCERLxAdoG
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
345Please respect copyright.PENANA0f85VuqCD9
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
345Please respect copyright.PENANAPLBhzKJDNO
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAP5CBbn27vr
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…
345Please respect copyright.PENANAFpij9IfFp0
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
345Please respect copyright.PENANA5ebQ1EbcPS
…
345Please respect copyright.PENANAgbvBznbTk2
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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAWOQFMYg59O
Woman:And you are?
345Please respect copyright.PENANApUtz8FveKv
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
345Please respect copyright.PENANA3QSFw0B3FE
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
345Please respect copyright.PENANARDFTSs0IrS
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAOdnNvYYEQz
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
345Please respect copyright.PENANA12Q8JFAxfS
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
345Please respect copyright.PENANA4jGMY5Upp3
He was enraged…why?
345Please respect copyright.PENANAvT5ujqcEzo
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAMXgrZ2xJAi
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
345Please respect copyright.PENANA7Bxao0lMHd
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
345Please respect copyright.PENANAlv2OZP2mZ0
Huh?
345Please respect copyright.PENANA9GwjWy3J7Q
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAA8YRuiB3kl
Stepmom:How dare you?
345Please respect copyright.PENANAaDQpQpSZoM
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAhHuDpWySjn
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAbI2SDm0IAh
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
345Please respect copyright.PENANAErHGecJBMJ
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
345Please respect copyright.PENANAYbBJQJ6bIr
Ruby:Morning…
345Please respect copyright.PENANABuGwqjA10r
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
345Please respect copyright.PENANAwyswp8TVxh
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
345Please respect copyright.PENANAGmN3DZs23n
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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAWMwHRQVmlq
Ruby:FANG!
345Please respect copyright.PENANA8AI00mG0zd
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAeBxmCXUimz
Stepmom:Try…
345Please respect copyright.PENANAm6y34kiziJ
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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAx98oa4NQ0j
BOOM!
345Please respect copyright.PENANA2J0Y5uxItx
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAmdnXvElKgJ
Fang:What was that?
345Please respect copyright.PENANAerCJniaaAT
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
345Please respect copyright.PENANAGC4s03XE1F
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
345Please respect copyright.PENANArUPXS0Vqws
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
345Please respect copyright.PENANA2lOrcwdW3g
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
345Please respect copyright.PENANA6Oz8upEYJh
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAgv4RCEdWcN
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
345Please respect copyright.PENANACmYDYMH2g8
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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAL4cR8VEm2N
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
345Please respect copyright.PENANACz5Nfjiicw
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAvwLXr1P5n6
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
345Please respect copyright.PENANACigdVceDPc
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.
345Please respect copyright.PENANA3sZNCuXTKy
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
345Please respect copyright.PENANA1lkw8beToh
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
345Please respect copyright.PENANAF8QQUwWs0b
Fang’s POV
345Please respect copyright.PENANAGDP7gpQ06o
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAOCwyWWAUP0
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAggsbXA8ErY
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAZYvFRFPfV8
Fang:We’re leaving…
345Please respect copyright.PENANA69fmzGL7My
That was my only option left before I killed them.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAHXgOdsWm7o
Ruby:What?
345Please respect copyright.PENANAl6DpQIBDQf
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAFCs95ClS6O
Fang:Pinpoint…
345Please respect copyright.PENANAaLzffWLJ0D
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
345Please respect copyright.PENANAIS1IXooonm
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
