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.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAaSttNrPXHf
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.
332Please respect copyright.PENANA4QuKprOpN5
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
332Please respect copyright.PENANASUOiVVUl9V
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
332Please respect copyright.PENANA7Txay4xB3I
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAD69OIXEgUa
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
332Please respect copyright.PENANASnAuQ0FMRE
Man:Well come on CRY!
332Please respect copyright.PENANAIEbDCkFWUc
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAY9XzGVKW7L
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
332Please respect copyright.PENANAlXSfQUhrXM
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAUl27qtMk2u
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAz46XMc9gga
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
332Please respect copyright.PENANASfLZ66M8qh
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
332Please respect copyright.PENANAN7FonhasvZ
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.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAX3Fw9ANyKa
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
332Please respect copyright.PENANAc5BYT2dwgw
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.
332Please respect copyright.PENANABcUzCA512B
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:
332Please respect copyright.PENANAClJg1LtywN
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
332Please respect copyright.PENANABcL72p6P3l
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
332Please respect copyright.PENANAUKC1CY7J5U
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAyT5Ul9Z1RT
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…
332Please respect copyright.PENANABqlKTrEpzm
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAFWtMpkzm7v
…
332Please respect copyright.PENANABm5wxXUMww
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.
332Please respect copyright.PENANA7UXqsnLtzD
Woman:And you are?
332Please respect copyright.PENANAk194BpqK5k
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAYexYCrVMC5
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
332Please respect copyright.PENANA1F973noC3f
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAv4EAQcOMuZ
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
332Please respect copyright.PENANAHP8xmm78Sw
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
332Please respect copyright.PENANA4GvXOY8cY6
He was enraged…why?
332Please respect copyright.PENANAIzNl12gI5l
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAAxKN4zOpbq
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
332Please respect copyright.PENANApuj3nSFdlg
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
332Please respect copyright.PENANAeRFQ4tPjjF
Huh?
332Please respect copyright.PENANAdgeWIsuGqH
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAn9ytUDBhL6
Stepmom:How dare you?
332Please respect copyright.PENANANRO1dS1nDq
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAOpmoriBeLb
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAa0QC696jnX
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
332Please respect copyright.PENANATEAcloKM9p
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
332Please respect copyright.PENANAFIxTag0ZCV
Ruby:Morning…
332Please respect copyright.PENANAbX4IF6imub
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
332Please respect copyright.PENANAzgUm2VXjWp
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
332Please respect copyright.PENANApBic8y2cMn
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.
332Please respect copyright.PENANA1BDbtsG1k3
Ruby:FANG!
332Please respect copyright.PENANA6tQjbfeBCG
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAiaERuTPlJg
Stepmom:Try…
332Please respect copyright.PENANAqiXQUrNv1T
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.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAIcLGtzuPDL
BOOM!
332Please respect copyright.PENANA6KnAJ1hVas
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAMs00KXNqDp
Fang:What was that?
332Please respect copyright.PENANAKRBEimtsoc
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
332Please respect copyright.PENANAwCiZKoESXM
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
332Please respect copyright.PENANA63JN8k3UAg
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAtQeZUhkzc5
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
332Please respect copyright.PENANAAe44Q2TAlY
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAV98QSqDv3v
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
332Please respect copyright.PENANAJR2mY2P0m1
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.
332Please respect copyright.PENANA3qgnQrZnmE
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
332Please respect copyright.PENANAKkwoFGnjRY
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAoMyB67JU1b
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
332Please respect copyright.PENANABXQvkyxf5h
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.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAB3IviPX1K5
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAI2SawSQjDe
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
332Please respect copyright.PENANA0K8QxPBkUj
Fang’s POV
332Please respect copyright.PENANAR6IHx4E4j5
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAmRCxvM1Cgg
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAnxq8FCzizy
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAtQNrw5PbQm
Fang:We’re leaving…
332Please respect copyright.PENANAKDXmounhZz
That was my only option left before I killed them.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAgck4DwUNu8
Ruby:What?
332Please respect copyright.PENANA2OhK7HzMs5
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
332Please respect copyright.PENANAUH5nxv2bRQ
Fang:Pinpoint…
332Please respect copyright.PENANAosENnNxbI6
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
332Please respect copyright.PENANALJeT1nRIcO
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
