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.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAWPXQDB0dpx
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.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAw4UkKjRzMC
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
322Please respect copyright.PENANAfG9uTt8HVw
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
322Please respect copyright.PENANA1eWaeQDKH5
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAoJyUWuNEZK
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
322Please respect copyright.PENANAHggORQJ4Gx
Man:Well come on CRY!
322Please respect copyright.PENANAEABS3cso4k
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAuZq6w08b7U
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
322Please respect copyright.PENANAQPOJOGwZil
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAAI6naaJhgN
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
322Please respect copyright.PENANA5u2prynCYz
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAba8uttNwjG
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
322Please respect copyright.PENANAAC4PV5p692
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.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAAvVz3OjCvq
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
322Please respect copyright.PENANAV2lN9iYi9E
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.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAEEOBmSW6Me
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:
322Please respect copyright.PENANATheMpWux1z
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAALsoxAasJM
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
322Please respect copyright.PENANA4jjAWNM5nR
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAaJPWwhmnAT
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…
322Please respect copyright.PENANAUiqKrAFYTp
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAfZdiTQdkFW
…
322Please respect copyright.PENANAr504soStSc
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.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAfcBXM8RyFr
Woman:And you are?
322Please respect copyright.PENANAcVtIbjOrli
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAInAgZZA4iV
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
322Please respect copyright.PENANAuR0Evxl274
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
322Please respect copyright.PENANABZgo4TUZQn
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
322Please respect copyright.PENANAgCZwsfyGr0
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
322Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2zGVSyqpm
He was enraged…why?
322Please respect copyright.PENANAXRuS2TpTU0
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAHEzTO8ISjy
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
322Please respect copyright.PENANAbYZISVMiep
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
322Please respect copyright.PENANA292cao0Np7
Huh?
322Please respect copyright.PENANATV823oItEv
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
322Please respect copyright.PENANA8SihaRiayq
Stepmom:How dare you?
322Please respect copyright.PENANAyaLtAQ0d6T
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAxlfeEsXSa6
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAxQI3YS9eJF
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
322Please respect copyright.PENANAAV3rUIXeq3
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
322Please respect copyright.PENANAzy6wQACIrF
Ruby:Morning…
322Please respect copyright.PENANAgIPmNgwWsj
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
322Please respect copyright.PENANAOU2XHgI5l0
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
322Please respect copyright.PENANAlrj7LwMknP
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.
322Please respect copyright.PENANALZW0PFygP2
Ruby:FANG!
322Please respect copyright.PENANAbcVhPPgkpd
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAgTFkYipYOR
Stepmom:Try…
322Please respect copyright.PENANAVpHx75oeGN
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.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAMIPfMxwSan
BOOM!
322Please respect copyright.PENANAuRqWC7S28e
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAxuYmtjqbRo
Fang:What was that?
322Please respect copyright.PENANAA1YKC1psC9
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
322Please respect copyright.PENANAKUBfQRXZyr
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
322Please respect copyright.PENANAVHBi3U9PdO
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAO44g1VzPy6
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
322Please respect copyright.PENANAIdT0RRH8Y1
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAV8HmTuJ8zi
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
322Please respect copyright.PENANAdEtWAYRsWF
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.
322Please respect copyright.PENANA8ceUP2tDdl
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
322Please respect copyright.PENANAMilSAIBW2I
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAFsaay1zmBV
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
322Please respect copyright.PENANA3eGmbnv3WC
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.
322Please respect copyright.PENANA22LDsaX4Ap
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAwvctyJDdpi
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
322Please respect copyright.PENANAx3eUHQEp3n
Fang’s POV
322Please respect copyright.PENANAzCbs0pDnq0
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
322Please respect copyright.PENANArwvODIZoBO
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAjvXRei0aD6
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAdvVl5oIDoV
Fang:We’re leaving…
322Please respect copyright.PENANArA2FdviDu0
That was my only option left before I killed them.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAVw2wfYxsdP
Ruby:What?
322Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xf8iw6rI1
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAvkaSRLnvyt
Fang:Pinpoint…
322Please respect copyright.PENANAlXo5ZtkSlE
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
322Please respect copyright.PENANAtWN3JFH4JQ
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
