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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc5gfkLYjL
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡideFAGiHeY
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x0ETiH6bn
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW7oGrL4V9
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq2HO79XM8
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkjTJlKQhh
Man:Well come on CRY!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpNwRhli9Z
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzvkxqekfV
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU2q5opmRh
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u9c0lBB5w
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc87hmQV4q
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRWZ3ylvop
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XESmikhLr
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuK09Mdgh8
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgRSfld5gC
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwd7CMN2Aq
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:
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkQsUAwbkF
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVoCRPqHkF
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMfCH9VUBb
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqblwS2upwR
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…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4TI0nofCm
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvoXvjk06a
…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbM3jt5zX5
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5T2DYBM29
Woman:And you are?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCwFkp8LRO
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yEgy5ludh
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeILPm2nfhh
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKHaS4mSq2
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hWf0ctejZ
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStGXYDQyli
He was enraged…why?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cJYETDpRj
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaNnxpe3w6
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzwUVFvh2S
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP08T59dloi
Huh?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SFtz7zYXd
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatWgvzzNpK
Stepmom:How dare you?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQdG9DBDwN
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghKRlzJIx5
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOILBg5tKwM
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SFw3Hzksa
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCPNZhyzkO
Ruby:Morning…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EwBr7s6KB
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wHCp2Cmga
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZLOIJSIUb
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNBDiifgX4
Ruby:FANG!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36OwxvP8u9
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjYNhE0pkz
Stepmom:Try…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27PR7qp1rJ
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYhrNqmP01
BOOM!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VAB1NVuWA
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY82DFBmOIi
Fang:What was that?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMqe1mVVrR
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5vaaVwS52
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvZmWYB6fI
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLUSRK2gIG
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmJUrb06pQ
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCCaRqS7Nf
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHlNeGy19O
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41pxC7iSbQ
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWaCtg8FPO
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMrlx09SBT
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK4aYqmn0A
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLAgeSguoM
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGN2srKaIt
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyQ959RIF9
Fang’s POV
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpOPvUJCBO
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz0eeTaoxQ
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwHrVWpJt4
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvRAdRQ9Af
Fang:We’re leaving…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvuaQWLNiY
That was my only option left before I killed them.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4JxSfW9OQ
Ruby:What?
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Wm9cGnQE
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcXs5IXkQD
Fang:Pinpoint…
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKqY9kjygo
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuaWgiNdcz
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
