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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfWcl9NynY
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR8B042Eye
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79d4Qh6YGL
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobJHJtPIEB
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExJS8icDxd
Man:Well come on CRY!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XaYzJApRJ
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV3jXGFH8X
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ9U73Z3T8
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlW8Hrbd6e
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw8htP40xK
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ozxkYQox7
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rMhXO5HJo
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnAFXRCXoo
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaavDmzGOhX
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNHuJNr0NG
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:
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWBjyjmCvY
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIqkftdX4w
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ9x7OINMI
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyE7NztGY0
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…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5inKkJI7P
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfjc0OCwPV
…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2WXeOaxSI
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkgT7S6E9g
Woman:And you are?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDVGV76WLt
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41CqlgkHhn
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRj0BXMpqe
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR7xrTupmF
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAa6WChhaP
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVdk69TlZL
He was enraged…why?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQwcCCxTOR
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCmC6aFZJv
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGoJ2A98dA
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnx0bF04Is
Huh?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zLNkLEEWo
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBEcAuu1WB
Stepmom:How dare you?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbxwihoovb
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIdkmFpkCY
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBXxZaR2Dz
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2EmAyUD4Z
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCIyl0zGgp
Ruby:Morning…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d0T1DPYx8
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeCx9yt5D9
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYRi9kV8MW
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5pj6r7pUC
Ruby:FANG!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY88yIHemEC
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQGmeYlhqJ
Stepmom:Try…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLA739ZE3X
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlzFlVzvUM
BOOM!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLmo1L8C73
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTVYStrmmj
Fang:What was that?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBFLMPGWqH
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW0IwwRUe1
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo9zPGiKtv
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayYUx8bHAG
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrswEOO8hJm
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXI5KrM1p8
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU12Zt0NDz
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2JkyTn2UP
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrKSGs8RUm
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPDYGVm6Pa
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlWEHqRwxP
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.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k0JQAwjkV
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXQ4tZIOLZ
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtyEjuze7Q
Fang’s POV
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqcTimoybi
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h2Fj2gxDl
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUZhoJvHq2
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqQ31P9l9a
Fang:We’re leaving…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW3i6v4NYv
That was my only option left before I killed them.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuen0aqvt01
Ruby:What?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHatL1yqxv
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvfpf6nQZI
Fang:Pinpoint…
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBGPIc4w6W
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw83DsujZb
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
