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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiqsQM2exc
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3cgDamhoP
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvkgPBWe1d
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBceG4jZvO
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTspsESElV
Man:Well come on CRY!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLdwq73ezb
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LNqzX9SNC
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq85hIahUh
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFIVD2v1wL
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQg8t9cAie
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJKFGJR3o1
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzby2H4kJ2S
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo8q5kK0D3
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyKA0ngyZc
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUHgI21eGB
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:
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImCVRdRSJI
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm7AK4LCes
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROFU3by6ap
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUHXeT71WB
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…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ4mdVquFs
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZTgSVzGTn
…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXYXwoRBXO
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgjpXlraf5
Woman:And you are?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKw2wMhQKG
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRsYXdVN6R
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfUGhqeU24
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnqTZQ2Jot
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R2ebQDadR
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTOd7aJyUv
He was enraged…why?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18XFvQiRV8
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PN7EP5C4a
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvpPBuhv60
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy2vCl2dhT
Huh?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFQfcdqT79
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ8TbRIrdq
Stepmom:How dare you?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR48IHwqrn4
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRqPZZyCcU
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlHURXUFZk
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprb70q2xEl
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlhLzw94nU
Ruby:Morning…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vb9VG7bG6
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3UISXMdj2
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKdGS0951V
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFqLBgBjtH
Ruby:FANG!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFYJjmST9A
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m0xd7R4IE
Stepmom:Try…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SgfNYhPlA
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvONzFswvy
BOOM!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgtRLAdLJr
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3GITKATbS
Fang:What was that?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUul5xG82p
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCpJcTRa9t
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTXZdMINUn
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vQ0v5FxjZ
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz4Bkkq0T6
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfUce7MLru
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nNdywHd0c
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNxrYkmTof
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xiiwUsJnr
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwiS3GuUWB
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31uyffuYm7
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtbS0nDsid
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmuZA6wujy
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkcy0yPIah
Fang’s POV
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6IZqq2pRd
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSIBgZviYm
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO2yySsTYH
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXJKDBkcOb
Fang:We’re leaving…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiulgKa9YX
That was my only option left before I killed them.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXIWmXrSHe
Ruby:What?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3ZYnUG6Oh
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZqZcFbxwh
Fang:Pinpoint…
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTJtG6R6NC
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3wiiWMRbS
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
