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.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr1SSWhJAv
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpodDwYVUC
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWNJMJFYGD
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEvuAq7DLY
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3MuVAVbQb
Man:Well come on CRY!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bmaCVmDnH
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW4sCQyOOO
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSrUoNdMFt
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbsBgUhDY4
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuixyo6ynVr
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRz1eFQkWv
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGVx5EnTmg
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.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopppxVqgB5
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdtEtjZJbg
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.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiu02mJJhl
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:
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeQWwxulMl
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUwEDAnWmb
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSOKv8ujlj
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIZaBu0AEO
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…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVSTbzKb4L
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HjXUuN79K
…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVD0G5Ry75
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.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI9cM1LcaF
Woman:And you are?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6loCfmhlyy
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba6ieQM4OT
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IDrCX719h
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqFfUuZerr
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9do5B4eKI
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezur3dyzsC
He was enraged…why?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK7kbv3wr1
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2tVkx5F5u
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXerLnzDuO
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdUG8AJW9j
Huh?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmg9kvNVqT
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDyzJM5YSf
Stepmom:How dare you?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlmVAupKZ7
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOieAcwXUBH
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeRzkbldfg
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6sL8FINxm
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy7Kra1Jyl
Ruby:Morning…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxGlK4g1wy
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTLAxnKjvE
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUXC5TEx2V
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.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWMUCOfwfK
Ruby:FANG!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyunm91ywz
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ4qoHUtqj
Stepmom:Try…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWNaZ6rB93
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.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsovJeOMEZt
BOOM!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj7n4TaNwe
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn8579hyN8
Fang:What was that?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHugljbefVv
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHkPT8Bj5I
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPyFXK2Swa
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu4qAQIe3D
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQg0nPPG0I
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVp4XU87p6
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUVaX7Jq2N
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.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt6Eb3wauj
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjW2Krfjyu
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfPwOmRUY0
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOR2x07Sd8
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.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoWtLTlcJa
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujXRJQg6iE
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcMyeI9OdZ
Fang’s POV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyxknWpEr7
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHff1BfOBg
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLGH4U04rh
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2a6PS5yVT
Fang:We’re leaving…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatHKeDWjHi
That was my only option left before I killed them.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPGKe22TGH
Ruby:What?
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa906Q5YBZM
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPlZl0TwQg
Fang:Pinpoint…
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN5zhs1ZDT
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tl17sdLFC
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
