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.
156Please respect copyright.PENANA2TMIFvhl80
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.
156Please respect copyright.PENANA2xx9IRqSh8
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
156Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ0ed0aKhg
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
156Please respect copyright.PENANAfKn8DxNLv7
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAr40FtroHRz
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
156Please respect copyright.PENANAaSnTuTTI3X
Man:Well come on CRY!
156Please respect copyright.PENANAm8HIsPDDsM
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAOEFtMAhE9M
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
156Please respect copyright.PENANAUuwv6G9PyM
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAWkFFZMKNXq
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
156Please respect copyright.PENANABscDQ5SmeF
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAKO8Qslw2nD
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
156Please respect copyright.PENANAxE6mxfzcfz
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.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAr3oUsvZsg1
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
156Please respect copyright.PENANAlQgzu0ZtkP
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.
156Please respect copyright.PENANA3Wvgm8PQ8c
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:
156Please respect copyright.PENANAro4fbeOynx
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
156Please respect copyright.PENANANX5Slh1faW
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
156Please respect copyright.PENANAhvR2CCf01n
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAcXKrYORkBQ
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…
156Please respect copyright.PENANAChLu491CBE
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
156Please respect copyright.PENANANctEBS5Lb9
…
156Please respect copyright.PENANADeJWiddqJP
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.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAdwEY7avOYY
Woman:And you are?
156Please respect copyright.PENANAgkexnlti21
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAsqPwUZRwnj
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
156Please respect copyright.PENANAB1djErDQ6i
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
156Please respect copyright.PENANA1J7fJ0L4Jk
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
156Please respect copyright.PENANAyM2ajyqhLt
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
156Please respect copyright.PENANAnw6GwU1Bcv
He was enraged…why?
156Please respect copyright.PENANAjP5INRaXdm
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
156Please respect copyright.PENANA89ehn9HbFS
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
156Please respect copyright.PENANAht1DR3YeC9
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
156Please respect copyright.PENANA8U1itjFz0p
Huh?
156Please respect copyright.PENANA7jErDjUF4p
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAntawqGeaPq
Stepmom:How dare you?
156Please respect copyright.PENANARFTCsQ3kvg
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAklp1opHUXH
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAk4ZZWzfLqJ
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
156Please respect copyright.PENANAlo7Vb06Vjs
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
156Please respect copyright.PENANAMkvwmLSgoM
Ruby:Morning…
156Please respect copyright.PENANAo0PLO6Odik
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
156Please respect copyright.PENANAM7bluupH9s
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
156Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4DIXbBgh8
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.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAfx4JIb2y8T
Ruby:FANG!
156Please respect copyright.PENANA2sdlKgnTvU
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
156Please respect copyright.PENANACEg28hEIN8
Stepmom:Try…
156Please respect copyright.PENANAZpLOalbH29
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.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAQmShPEXyCd
BOOM!
156Please respect copyright.PENANASF95avVeiM
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
156Please respect copyright.PENANA6qpoggXHEs
Fang:What was that?
156Please respect copyright.PENANAeCJR1joSxC
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
156Please respect copyright.PENANA0bmQCptCdO
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
156Please respect copyright.PENANAvvKy7zMgzm
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAxcrf8YgyUS
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
156Please respect copyright.PENANAcHpcnITC3P
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
156Please respect copyright.PENANA57rbTAUMwb
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
156Please respect copyright.PENANAr7x6hJ8tRh
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.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ3fIuZl8A
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
156Please respect copyright.PENANA4hMwbywfj7
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAJgv7MupY6b
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
156Please respect copyright.PENANAGCY9nfiDmT
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.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAEglLp7fw5X
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAoyDSieJdlT
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
156Please respect copyright.PENANA49FbQ3VwNz
Fang’s POV
156Please respect copyright.PENANA9kmywJu6wf
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAh0J5eS0TXt
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAUaIklXtbKD
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAdzbt3zXcTm
Fang:We’re leaving…
156Please respect copyright.PENANAI4C1aHFK7Y
That was my only option left before I killed them.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAm6dEnydomS
Ruby:What?
156Please respect copyright.PENANA1wCsGRefaz
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAItUkl614OY
Fang:Pinpoint…
156Please respect copyright.PENANABSUxrKnW6z
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
156Please respect copyright.PENANAIUqMmu85EU
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
156Please respect copyright.PENANAJHA9eeH6y4
