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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJ21MySFD4G
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.PENANAGm9yIHlaCh
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.PENANAnBJiYNmCOB
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5SyReYsRbQ
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAIM0ltL7JvQ
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
325Please respect copyright.PENANA3OO6FQuWPZ
Man:Well come on CRY!
325Please respect copyright.PENANADQdy5QcBjU
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAXXI6oZc7AQ
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAXuoVZEhEiw
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAnMt7vUjM38
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2SeDJbW57S
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAIk2bewmEQt
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
325Please respect copyright.PENANA3lXdAYV3lJ
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.PENANAGTabxrJVhR
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAtvbbN47Vde
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.PENANAtX7Nm6lL9f
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.PENANAU8JDQ8bsvJ
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.PENANAJITW5mrCW7
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2N2yQ4IKSO
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAdWFGkxtscY
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.PENANA7UxQH6Y7Ia
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAtNArg8t1lM
…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAh2cI9jtZ1A
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.PENANAZkR9itVzNi
Woman:And you are?
325Please respect copyright.PENANATnjm7pJvP8
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ6KMpMiva
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
325Please respect copyright.PENANA1ojJamrthg
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA1uZpn765Er
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAYvUmIrOxtg
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAQO17zZGkf2
He was enraged…why?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAI3ipvHwK42
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAnwvW8KSM6e
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAlUlOHry1k2
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
325Please respect copyright.PENANATPBpFGphrC
Huh?
325Please respect copyright.PENANANK6ENjEeM0
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAyonXEkD8IX
Stepmom:How dare you?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJFOxOCXW10
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA3GbCC1n6t4
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAl5PVKL7Z1w
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2yzBAIN5Ph
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAZ11yIkSA2B
Ruby:Morning…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAFjlYzNRrCy
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAaHMMy82g12
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAitx5HnC3Eh
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.PENANAo1vgGGap4L
Ruby:FANG!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAT7peMO0Hqh
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAUNig06XZDh
Stepmom:Try…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ9r4tFi5U
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.PENANAuJlPt3mNcV
BOOM!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAG21sE5YYwu
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAuFpwxuf1AH
Fang:What was that?
325Please respect copyright.PENANApZ3ntMKqRu
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
325Please respect copyright.PENANA4C6ItKPraM
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAh7FIV5qROX
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAddY2IGpL8C
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJuR8cJqL8Q
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA4c0F2Ty5d1
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAfpOxW2VESF
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.PENANA8rcKjdpvQX
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
325Please respect copyright.PENANARh1ldeAQvD
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gg3lUnLsr
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.PENANAYEyz42ylax
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.PENANAqdM2H3jg4P
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAAKbKD635PW
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAR9GZXOpUOd
Fang’s POV
325Please respect copyright.PENANA32EdIgM9OW
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAMxL7iB0KzB
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZXDNop9Yf
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4Ez3oiE3f
Fang:We’re leaving…
325Please respect copyright.PENANAfHNvfDX5ha
That was my only option left before I killed them.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAeoZrgk9Xym
Ruby:What?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAxtCkJWrBxp
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAwjDVQaU78J
Fang:Pinpoint…
325Please respect copyright.PENANApF06ZQTPY0
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.PENANARDghb3HVJy
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
