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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d6oSTiWMs
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcCaTCRY73
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzQqYYav2C
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IPe8Pn94V
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEp90HIDwo
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH9YWOZQrw
Man:Well come on CRY!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce1ocKYJe4
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzn52rw2l8
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPLOAbiXg9
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4BepI9vMX
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi1X8Z02CL
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpWm7kOjLu
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e79kwJork
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztemF3YzQ9
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbck9CC30m6
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8992qk4Vn
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:
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhpUAsColE
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieQplXr8an
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv1Jt7hqCm
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiRvAA3LGt
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…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmagXWmciT
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLePeYzRJyK
…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiw6MO5Wlo
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrcOpkjEOg
Woman:And you are?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HRHElqMvn
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF84hUhvr8
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CYdGn2DdD
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrAZuKaJX4
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNFzVrOGmB
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuCUbnuxKe
He was enraged…why?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6xYTr5h2G
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ035KnDhaL4
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53BO3aKiaI
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJTpUahBZI
Huh?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKY8JFPdsD
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBVjFdcNgs
Stepmom:How dare you?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbWBvZcEBo
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjEKTQmItO
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnCSzRh7xq
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUxcKkQAU2
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxuGMCSUaM
Ruby:Morning…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST6Mfg8k8k
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2eZARa5P7
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvkGdkuBGh
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H1JE4yIog
Ruby:FANG!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwgaGvSyhI
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziFZKmgmmH
Stepmom:Try…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCa2rg1O47
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQBMNg7SOl
BOOM!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3cmGURWpe
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRKvJS7nEB
Fang:What was that?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMJpFuWQ9P
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA7I7aqqHE
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xsdOAJmIa
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZQ9xxDLvE
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSssvHQAStU
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CzeUybZa9
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwFxmSx3Zm
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8zfTBtV0Z
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9ZUDKMJQF
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfL2tt1caD
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFxIBm0YsV
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.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHnrLMPxTG
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLgcTTtqvC
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8IEtaVmyw
Fang’s POV
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkLOv7hOs4
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K3HiqUgws
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz6oKoUrok
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxn4oNv0Hv
Fang:We’re leaving…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG1JKpp7iT
That was my only option left before I killed them.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwO5e4S7lb
Ruby:What?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbMJyhrnYy
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ndDiyBSe
Fang:Pinpoint…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZI2Txhu9n
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4jPa63JU2
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
