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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzDl05NDkYW
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA0AYF3pKY5o
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbqpsXm8oqz
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAXr796jWlVn
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA82lpUzeo2Q
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
335Please respect copyright.PENANArTMEDeJGPL
Man:Well come on CRY!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAeMCrwU01ca
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxOfbAfeHjK
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAEwE5AHgZ5g
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
335Please respect copyright.PENANArUdN7XiYau
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcqxwvcBTDl
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGnBr2ExMDL
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAP6HSzRcEzx
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAnL6Ew1RKYA
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAz7SZmP2P5N
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbZA7dca0c1
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:
335Please respect copyright.PENANA6EVhe3w22K
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA7L5uKIGsvK
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9uMxCHKTwV
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAW9DmRb5rDn
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…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGkMnX15k3h
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAunlMm7SfEm
…
335Please respect copyright.PENANARHedOzpEqu
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA2RLukxubyb
Woman:And you are?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAMkUfaQYTft
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzA312VEKtV
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAju7yPzAEbD
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
335Please respect copyright.PENANACEyWYshEnq
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYE9q4Zug40
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzRvEx9xhtF
He was enraged…why?
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5bbOHBI3GB
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAqYnPZVXpsR
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYP7btXF9fo
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAeVjVXIQFRx
Huh?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAaSQG5vbt0D
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA0oO5aHBP6N
Stepmom:How dare you?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxlaEFVscYx
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAF5lQt20dbi
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAXmWavHPMFA
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAwAqYZyHLX3
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
335Please respect copyright.PENANABIP2qRaeyI
Ruby:Morning…
335Please respect copyright.PENANA31RMw89x6k
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsDnmxhJtIR
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtybhpTnidY
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANATnmw7YlJzQ
Ruby:FANG!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAj7ctj32L60
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAedKQKVyCxj
Stepmom:Try…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYf5kwtzEJg
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ean3sMvwM
BOOM!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAaHU8fJI7rT
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAIDfTBGv8R2
Fang:What was that?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAUX6mWKQHmu
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsaxmVJJA9r
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAm8PGq2mmK0
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA4XnnKTc0ON
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAW3AHohZi9F
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAU9EDfgkVHm
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAA2WJtY69mB
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANALHb3CyKClA
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAoQw60iTsit
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
335Please respect copyright.PENANApu5ktOFjcx
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAi52AcOAtow
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANASOvdFIe61s
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAo4urKKIfuW
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAgB0oimuevG
Fang’s POV
335Please respect copyright.PENANACgTMjEtMbw
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1uWpw9Ex0x
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA2JRFd6tldk
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
335Please respect copyright.PENANACOEriLEN3k
Fang:We’re leaving…
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5lQvzLpx0D
That was my only option left before I killed them.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbUe8KGSPj3
Ruby:What?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAEIpk2TDYWU
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3p3a0nRiql
Fang:Pinpoint…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAiwUqw6OD8p
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmerqkJ5fAp
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
335Please respect copyright.PENANAiDl9CMLikn
