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.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aCLcfEmJA
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5pJ8m9fwM
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EYwc3DVqe
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzIp7HVJYE
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlu0PF7amV
Man:Well come on CRY!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLscjfYdzeq
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xOL3nY7ND
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaZCpXyKFA
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoijZrSfOlU
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpog4r3RPz
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhbmCzdbSt
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI74kiYQcPB
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.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uqA9858IW
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dTe93Doyh
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.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gNphHqHsd
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:
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4cc7Tq8Oo
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLTvlag0aD
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7BwJI08CN
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qyHNcQWGR
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…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfDhVK0qoL
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3B5QMvMbZ
…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWd2FhdTSt
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.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADG3HI0mWg
Woman:And you are?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNt7tOXHBk
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m4RmofDJJ
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zr5S7F9hI
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyJ2QWHmOf
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq5WEGSNyt
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZzvHa7r0o
He was enraged…why?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmBuw2qPeo
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEjxSlL7mt
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNa5xbHEto
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpaWYYclbZ
Huh?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtInYjkTSZf
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx539Hz0IeQ
Stepmom:How dare you?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2uzIR000Y
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Op2oVOtb
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJypFPgpF2J
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgKI1xWCzv
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk0e4ZLNrG
Ruby:Morning…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaPMS5ctoS
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIRTQcIqSo
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIhDYXXP4t
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.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QsNcilrta
Ruby:FANG!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQLSojNeJZ
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuDOESNTOi
Stepmom:Try…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC8NvAWYn7
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.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRyBFqpEbX
BOOM!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjW92a4q7b
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3tm8v2L69
Fang:What was that?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rymP9Spa8
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsPJ2CvBJt
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v6srVU68R
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96RksDt0JL
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ708OesAHAt
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK2Lyj7GIK
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjhTeCC8lY
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.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lsMtCPzvd
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYR3iOWg8P
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55nu5NUrBB
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSao24iBHK
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.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxDwFbux8E
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7vwfry3Nr
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhDgdnLdeR
Fang’s POV
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN3Y030VS1
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzCi6TtMlr
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L7qQNLdhx
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZjsoCIknZ
Fang:We’re leaving…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRhzsQxzHA
That was my only option left before I killed them.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGMetxzk38
Ruby:What?
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM5EoMh9we
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCcn70BES7
Fang:Pinpoint…
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcW0ppJqwO
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9rxivKlDc
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbAiLsMTiJ
