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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9PkKNghMu
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6FWBbb8FY
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyt8W1gp1S
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShH21mK6aI
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO1hxTaK8q
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUuCTnL4nA
Man:Well come on CRY!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnvknJMDNk
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRljjnAx7uS
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiDSmX50pZ
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnOFmu0050
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrgIdQVONk
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGONKiCdKl
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5GtzP6Bny
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0MOrAJnCQ
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjifdZ00Bs
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Sbfd8Xyu
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:
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBobgcRnsA
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjeW1PIWTq
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHh60jukv5
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxJ2eXHgV5
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…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCFLLkA6ln
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiHoVZhdZY
…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeZLJA1OUq
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9JELbqJy2
Woman:And you are?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlZXK0we8o
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBdtn9jAow
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioTqdNwBYC
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0TdMfhOKm
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDnVjPyN7K
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb20SLIt6fY
He was enraged…why?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtdccmkagn
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXUDtszx9F
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZb1u9KdGD
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmaxhdojsa
Huh?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM3nbOdi7F
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMUnuXb32u
Stepmom:How dare you?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHR8J6KZ5p
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6q5n7yFzo
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru59E7FgDn
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzRWk9w8EY
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNICVEeVlR
Ruby:Morning…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31mLlxiK8G
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp1ez9aIR8
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRODXWBf4AB
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8UoRmOF5j
Ruby:FANG!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBqX133xg6
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05efNVOtwx
Stepmom:Try…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguZ2bWdih0
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkjD2Qg8Cj
BOOM!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGPN3kP3KG
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0ETRkEtar
Fang:What was that?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3qfqSNDou
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczTJ3BK9lO
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IaN3HcqpS
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9N7nN2RCX
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUviLPsQLAq
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrZJo1MfEn
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD1H2uBRtx
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7TVTT8jPd
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6CaLaXmBg
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopoDmzZg8L
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMAR2vPQCv
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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NX0ihZnEB
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACl8Uz4ODw
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5qBr4AjPA
Fang’s POV
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtb932ZO9G
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkZ15hO6zG
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh0A9v1Lwz
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbIv7c6g7P
Fang:We’re leaving…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi76UaDWaO
That was my only option left before I killed them.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIXyXI3dJG
Ruby:What?
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIfMVSQavD
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoZSM5v8rm
Fang:Pinpoint…
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDialI4duG
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMltC0LlbDm
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5g0JXCt92
