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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41JFfjMqfV
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3NyjxgmCj
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocrdR6YXVj
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThWZYltHJd
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fbE4Kj3vI
Man:Well come on CRY!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YMAgcFOxU
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpJBRHf24G
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAqx2I1kHe
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDLkkQRUut
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnzCGsXyS4
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVrt0Erld6
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItpHVB9djW
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b88KiDC6w
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPCbPF9dDT
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tKGbMipo4
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:
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtiDBI7mQn
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivbxGZQ0yF
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKeLhbpY6D
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO87Hhjv9xK
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…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLPUF52gHV
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXFqXRG6CD
…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwbZYtfN9z
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMgMyvclJs
Woman:And you are?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnwPRiARKs
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytyZCFtTFo
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9EnOWV58P
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65QRO1GTbV
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vGjuhsk0V
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB5Rosyskt
He was enraged…why?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoZckcDojR
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGoO6O3ZWf
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHtbNxW4xU
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVGwdFZctZ
Huh?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbuzkTqFA6
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOrm5nBYYe
Stepmom:How dare you?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSYwYq9fA0
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9I9vAJIl6
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RndieN2Pa
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfT5fl3Naw
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixUY8Ci1GY
Ruby:Morning…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BtYKCXKNd
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSMn03ywz0
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjoLX1tO8s
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wCpHhTuWx
Ruby:FANG!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmKHItX7u0
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mUirKCJ7I
Stepmom:Try…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AZNTMwDpz
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiZZgEfvHD
BOOM!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI2EjmR4bF
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7kuVjWVmf
Fang:What was that?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK0uFTJmqk
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcedwoLlp0j
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdr0vS77aC
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZhQ5vpvkA
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EHO5HoMEI
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidfnPdeyWN
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1ib3bSWtw
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmrcOoUgPb
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSURb7EzhEa
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecjfB0f6D0
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyKhtPQ5vL
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH73Hg8FP7M
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTGOnrCrfV
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtOM5HSfwG
Fang’s POV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj7Bs4mKah
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRELqwJgrZR
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyduRJBAYi
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSEurONmwM
Fang:We’re leaving…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCTnxlum4z
That was my only option left before I killed them.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GKm8hlYSI
Ruby:What?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UhIjVNhxu
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHTZR8Bpc0
Fang:Pinpoint…
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oWM1e3rxu
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMHiZBTN1M
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9jBeBPzBX
