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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAzl2TW7OIj6
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHbEUnTHcJY
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
150Please respect copyright.PENANAMBroQZtcz3
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAdbMUaLDXFI
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAjukVC9WLJW
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXvISNLKzq3
Man:Well come on CRY!
150Please respect copyright.PENANAIY65drWoLg
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAGkERJBifs9
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
150Please respect copyright.PENANA99c51YEWVi
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbt7eakkBCn
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEuYSe3zz68
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAnzGAcXtOuK
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAsRxs31Neqm
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANApNKjZMDRcM
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAYdjqo5G02p
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA9jGvCMhtAu
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:
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUOJpBI7mFv
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOvJlV5Iuf1
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAv19lQid7a3
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAnOILHZnM06
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…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAuPsXBFBQtg
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAIe3JZH3WiP
…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAgBRLw7Dx1f
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAf41ttWZDEF
Woman:And you are?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAGKepA962No
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAuE00qpKS20
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
150Please respect copyright.PENANAoENrLzpMvx
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA79F9IKDb4W
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAK9Y0Ez8PSF
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
150Please respect copyright.PENANAxE4j5yXzIz
He was enraged…why?
150Please respect copyright.PENANA0atfnsMoVQ
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
150Please respect copyright.PENANACRFSG4FcR6
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAfGwOxVHDEi
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
150Please respect copyright.PENANAinSxN59YNi
Huh?
150Please respect copyright.PENANABUwbw0Cxqm
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAhzUJYhbERk
Stepmom:How dare you?
150Please respect copyright.PENANABzUoc1IBVw
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAYgttSNeYms
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2EaJFDkgOt
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAB7ErI4XMes
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAxgBH9PjPSr
Ruby:Morning…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwT2bH4zEWV
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAt2UOLzPAt1
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlJeISepE2e
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwHYNAkr82A
Ruby:FANG!
150Please respect copyright.PENANAMSraVfWH3v
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8C1dGcPK46
Stepmom:Try…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQeICTSZeWe
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANANU73f6l2Tk
BOOM!
150Please respect copyright.PENANA38UFG7lAPr
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXRjwM3uYhe
Fang:What was that?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmfjFQzxpYx
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
150Please respect copyright.PENANAdZhlIF1QWX
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAjBK4QIHSGD
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXbAzxKv2Xk
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPR2M2jbeEz
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAgpAhojtjLd
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2BFdlhUAnj
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAqQnH8yxCaF
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAB8DeKylt5W
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAcCFdmmIvEK
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAyNdbJaRhFV
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAr98SioUOQp
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAnyjCkkpvZa
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
150Please respect copyright.PENANA1nea2U8Sfs
Fang’s POV
150Please respect copyright.PENANArxLZQwXlei
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA9qCKZDbOLK
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAr3XabX08WL
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOHpThl86ot
Fang:We’re leaving…
150Please respect copyright.PENANAhYuIDbIioN
That was my only option left before I killed them.
150Please respect copyright.PENANACMDInUPYnQ
Ruby:What?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAR04lb8k6to
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAfJujnXg9Rq
Fang:Pinpoint…
150Please respect copyright.PENANArYZbj6L4Xf
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbWBvimgzdt
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
