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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb4zWnKFT3
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DNvxqFaKU
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskQi6PX0jk
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmdDbmXSvb
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq3e17Ilf7
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSrywbj6RM
Man:Well come on CRY!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGdEbxeDnd
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMg3s4fZi2
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCsORzBF0u
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhf5kBJ5DH
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI5tAmDK8c
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAEjCRQDFy
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6THdoU4me
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UyQ3sUBWg
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJw4IwiDcl
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfN1Qg6mUN
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:
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YINbI5ffu
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFU4DHWGQM
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbRMSxhnVy
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ230Mf7IkZ9
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…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbZmwgOBrZ
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVErsHLZWwc
…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP85HYa4xI
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXQGsR6WhL
Woman:And you are?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfyuKMEf2v
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgGvo6IL82
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSZjQaS1g7
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOqQ5NGTr7
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnrlURJX6r
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUQoOZ5XwZ
He was enraged…why?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MQXpQQzvV
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cAwLN2dJz
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiX9NjwOH2
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlNHaFfFwe
Huh?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHA1AXi47Z
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx8ylXdmAv
Stepmom:How dare you?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkbEvfKwhK
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dib84ztJG
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkx7TQLcS0
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa6X6J7uWt
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP0DDAvb1L
Ruby:Morning…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmHGRoNB1P
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12OJ1QtyJW
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfApRDftP1T
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE9hI5AbLQ
Ruby:FANG!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVkwz8yE5w
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCew10lIy6
Stepmom:Try…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHkqL1jeJf
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh6NHPfcbc
BOOM!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYruxc14DT
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnrcpgsUtQ
Fang:What was that?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4yfZ6botZ
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSfTJNHI7G
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS0szE1Kv7
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdBA2VZjEg
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof04qs5PQi
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hwH4ppCMq
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNf9qvhzkV
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIzQgF9LPB
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD8HTsvmBC
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfpJohLJaV
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRdmO1NFTL
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.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpjfwgeGHh
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g0O6TBB0F
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkEtJH1nAr
Fang’s POV
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeuNrSmi21
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEdQxb5kjj
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILShcozY48
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4REamVYm0u
Fang:We’re leaving…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotioY6CA1V
That was my only option left before I killed them.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ2lZ202jE
Ruby:What?
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UASTqz5TQ
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb5LYJZY6m
Fang:Pinpoint…
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi9L7UZrAr
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8nvvplSPl
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
