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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlcocUAxbl
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uBAeOesTm
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhFcobOj0a
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QonrYmrWG
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kue6wfHVo
Man:Well come on CRY!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe2h5I0s9O
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKMQIrpTtn
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAI4yCTUhe
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwJRVvysCd
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMmsJJvnR2
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1acq6GJEbB
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dqsmPHUVe
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogj0DOmaJ4
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrsTFuZ4XC
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCyQYYsTsV
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:
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMzC2pnGDG
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGYTBIoHKs
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRt4r6tZYY
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WbSGXrCqB
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…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1pMUqgf8d
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYREIT2ICQ
…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFrFdFz2cW
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoqeEvh1se
Woman:And you are?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeHugX8wnh
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ueYk8oWpo
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg12CUGvBEO
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7c0fENV5D
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qx6ZjOyHg
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpaDGPJuua
He was enraged…why?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozFgFLILrQ
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWuFCyq5eW
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDUjTQxdqK
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqCSVradKE
Huh?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxURr2W1NHa
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwDKchHh6e
Stepmom:How dare you?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMps38LSrt
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcG3YH3fmy
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqT07XVlcA
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyXCDJ835f
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSWH6ABdIO
Ruby:Morning…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioKO5wF1ma
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaoapnSNJe
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WUTsk5zGa
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryiwylci0Z
Ruby:FANG!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGDRtGqP88
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM07JaFoTs1
Stepmom:Try…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYLu8lnY1N
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0yO6g1nSv
BOOM!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcSqckeuYU
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3YDs27gkQ
Fang:What was that?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qk9i3q3XH
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49IH3gzl96
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9DON9PQyl
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuFe9RbOYq
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxgYCeqLy5
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseRTjd2eKT
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAWVASF6kq
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ4NfzrLNb
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAdDjliuI5
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwQ21fGiDP
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2ONZsZ2Md
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.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChxNPKDLix
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcDeCmaf0Y
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEyKvF6NCg
Fang’s POV
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd6vSZf9of
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhLZQ4vctd
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjpCuDx8iO
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UKKyn8QcW
Fang:We’re leaving…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NJ4nMG7Vz
That was my only option left before I killed them.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU6is7xVDi
Ruby:What?
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNsUw62Hq5
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDWXXCfCQA
Fang:Pinpoint…
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0M1wFN0XE
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ104TSsFClA
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
