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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAeqWHB6RskD
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANA3OcOiNOtSL
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAawuoJpkAbG
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAU4HmwQTGob
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
294Please respect copyright.PENANA99etprKDUN
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAErkJbVmCSj
Man:Well come on CRY!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAaITmD5KrRQ
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAPgEs2FadXy
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAPLXBjmHppY
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1TZo2sSim
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAIVubSVca2o
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
294Please respect copyright.PENANA5LyVR1hPJp
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
294Please respect copyright.PENANASER1wdMGuX
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANABbqBTuOcQL
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAgtibdAEUcv
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAS392QZsL7R
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:
294Please respect copyright.PENANAEs15rrbVaw
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAybVt5r8YXR
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAj3nnC2gnNh
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAs87m6alyGS
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…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAv5aoRws3r3
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
294Please respect copyright.PENANA5ExL748Yun
…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAimFBN85wUb
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANACYXvrfFb65
Woman:And you are?
294Please respect copyright.PENANALWdCJj8pVg
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
294Please respect copyright.PENANA0jL7FlGkhW
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAJIKdMYhEuY
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAmKVjCDC1rL
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAkTzgGgPJ4n
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAwHu0HWMlGX
He was enraged…why?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAWvWIGj4JTA
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAozvDh4QRU8
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAjjAQ1S32KP
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAiNWNdakBkA
Huh?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAynoPSMSLhi
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAnTJgofiiYL
Stepmom:How dare you?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAMj7miGnn4W
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
294Please respect copyright.PENANA9VOL8fvM9h
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAtoLnow3tFR
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAuKv6Eg5NKa
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAie3pWUfN8c
Ruby:Morning…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAuJCDRfE7zh
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7Zw6bOcsd
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
294Please respect copyright.PENANA2y81avWqPH
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANApXlZGapddo
Ruby:FANG!
294Please respect copyright.PENANABVFknTnt8X
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAnZHsbYyVmx
Stepmom:Try…
294Please respect copyright.PENANATJQMVHooA9
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANASQDy8lHFxo
BOOM!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAgIognHLabW
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ5QxMmmcD
Fang:What was that?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAv52NLsrHLE
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAnFdRFMOMft
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9oo1KuVJ5
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAMeybaIPL5J
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAYiBE82xN2k
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
294Please respect copyright.PENANA2XX1EcTrTD
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAMmUCo0gyGt
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAR7NNJgNNFD
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAxjy2EG8Ovz
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAiQiQlpnoEj
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAcCsC7dC5Lx
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.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAfeUAbRvRkZ
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ1fAZkr1K
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
294Please respect copyright.PENANADjIezAbirt
Fang’s POV
294Please respect copyright.PENANApUmR19BYA7
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAzmRNcoJrxX
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAlSLMk1kQbz
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAqltBZPKH0L
Fang:We’re leaving…
294Please respect copyright.PENANABxnEJo5LEl
That was my only option left before I killed them.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAUyVFkqCBBu
Ruby:What?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAYOW3SYrzy4
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
294Please respect copyright.PENANA5vPEhvAnLM
Fang:Pinpoint…
294Please respect copyright.PENANAXY3Li9gptc
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAGIw0QZqbPH
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
294Please respect copyright.PENANAY7hNV7qc84
