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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmwC00rPQy
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv6gwcLElK
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKvXQGHnuk
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1fNlW8KWO
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6pAIPetsn
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyrDOaBNrX
Man:Well come on CRY!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyG6ap247W
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgzbyh7w6C
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlC1dD80zN
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGa6UCzOs4
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xCtSjEdQ4
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6oKEG22oh
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MmqJ5L0kD
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1khQsFkNa
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CDUFFO6hM
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLUHmNQKgU
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:
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKKzojgC7I
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgKT11DwWx
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqwhLQv4He
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXYsaEEUnf
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…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDftIGDrVbH
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngUdeilwzq
…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeF4my3ahr
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dSmnRKCNy
Woman:And you are?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a9lgy6djb
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW6vQuzbj6
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSf1c7VQCL
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxahY0rKx2i
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYyn17X61h
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Cn2gXNPt
He was enraged…why?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiD7MBeqHz
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2apR8CIiTu
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB35jtqTRMO
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtps64op9F
Huh?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZYIpbFVcV
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzhcA2ZWgr
Stepmom:How dare you?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEkEi8Ak5W
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3w5NqYhWz
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR0DD8wJA2
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp7GkI9gmH
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzuss5t6tR
Ruby:Morning…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglFKDvjjMk
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zDsNEFMg0
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPYkipeNOJ
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsI7h7ind4
Ruby:FANG!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KKTJ2m5Km
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeobMQtEbuC
Stepmom:Try…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINB3zMj33x
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJbAc2hBGr
BOOM!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXDA8bEwrQ
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDpLTmxFhH
Fang:What was that?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSZSGrerPe
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEtqdwAJD2
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiHQNJ3UCA
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8IDBqyAIQ
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWr87u1uz6
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwn4zFwtch
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WGGa1MZyp
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5DVNhk78J
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7YcZWw1P0
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBHwutXxZV
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdzTetoKii
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.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCjHysszNe
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrhZyELPhr
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvK7Ftv2k3
Fang’s POV
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAl7GwKX1W
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp94SU2W986
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Aw9u3OHw
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ418xUGkz86
Fang:We’re leaving…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik4xRIJ5wY
That was my only option left before I killed them.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeV4zuYo2S
Ruby:What?
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ184kKFMBwl
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrI9BL0us5
Fang:Pinpoint…
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBA7A4hzAh
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOPHJ3ZJBK
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf0PpCWPOu
