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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JFX6tl4JT
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9800XzOPuH
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPZA2Su24r
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71U2mjOOAN
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eemiUZXs5
Man:Well come on CRY!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sJY41F1uo
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXn7sd4TNN
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iO6hkaUYP
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI8RJNobyA
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2FHzKwEEu
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3RxYkuA0j
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEGt2onOTN
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy14JXYBu4f
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllv1eqj88i
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFFHvz3OuS
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:
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgHSQDVvK1
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uSajsVSzk
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChhFTlGpYw
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr6DcmrcE5
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…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iRr3C5sQh
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqDe3RbZpD
…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4ODSQ23hp
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9KIXu6B4K
Woman:And you are?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsENMUqQJCp
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NEzGzMjTM
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2dv74IH63
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanJNsSSobX
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY0ZfnnGTa
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ivsvkGuMs
He was enraged…why?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI7kQe8HgO
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnhcBEbzBM
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOA8Q5TiON
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfK5WruTkR
Huh?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MhcpOzaxa
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95lrKFCFpG
Stepmom:How dare you?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUbmxWlZsR
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx6FCecXA9
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFUSVnZ6xm
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn8dcvoInW
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGJzsVCBQb
Ruby:Morning…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt4b7eifg6
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIVvkj6GJz
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwId68pxZ1
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2qx7ktpRh
Ruby:FANG!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNlfvo5ouU
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDONuGgPTcu
Stepmom:Try…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOpUjumlvJ
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJLULEYWAD
BOOM!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSyG2RL4at
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kJkViMX0P
Fang:What was that?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKwikpVJzg
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnmBmtR4EY
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJthdZW1kJe
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdHMrNfuE7
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJiYngHbNB
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN1u0XTXBF
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4FTLJuM3D
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk9oIWkLWa
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWbciGUZPo
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOFd6kzX3T
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIqBxqsStm
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.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJiyRfURe1
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCP1Tf0Tck
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaw40h9VFi
Fang’s POV
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXIuoLsq3I
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPJ5qirXgM
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYIMxO0Jne
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4eR3Ys3O0
Fang:We’re leaving…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SEXXas8QU
That was my only option left before I killed them.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafTd9bC0H3
Ruby:What?
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWLwuQy8vA
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmhHqUZtO7
Fang:Pinpoint…
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDnnupMIc3
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uavhHJnXM
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ZnJCIRCB
