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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8IifG5WRP
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r7WqOPoAO
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PORWIs3vO
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxs8pHZNmo
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGelNOrCGQ
Man:Well come on CRY!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPwVt0qXDl
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbq3ihJLKy
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl2w91Gcml
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDrBSngKw7
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29WehnEKaY
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OcLu0d7Hu
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoxi0iarIS
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAjUYQzGsY
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GcforhEo6
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT5qaHtKch
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:
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KIT6sczom
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWH0pbw9uQ
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNVcaOk6nq
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdk2mXPawl
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…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVNe6uiyMO
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi4rBH352Y
…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPlyuxBvdU
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm84zQhZ99E
Woman:And you are?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4jR2wG0Vu
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEPTCmqJNS
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8eEZ3DHXk
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP6svV5JKD
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GIRHJS1F8
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0lDBD9zGO
He was enraged…why?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpscMiyNrNn
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5FZ16K13H
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarQjQicewf
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIe1HwwMhr
Huh?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulrLCzzn96
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc85F7XIVn0
Stepmom:How dare you?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ6iqVX089
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNB8prY53N
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn68TO4QEFA
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26r9QbLPka
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsyI37UXVc
Ruby:Morning…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fc4mPC7Qe
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8NaeajUNx
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40UFnjGFZv
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ChhbySC7
Ruby:FANG!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlobeYR5fM
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNw3J42YwY
Stepmom:Try…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBBlMf6VOE
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYSzXFWFkm
BOOM!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFA2tfpg9C
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLd8yQtBPQ
Fang:What was that?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkoEyfMay4
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxNAeRIIYW
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QmGXGtvTE
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mhUzm8Arz
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK5tB6IM5w
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8P4FpbZLn
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqCDF6n3kW
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ4fPEsxj1
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiYLuaLHvU
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDHYdi18x8
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjhqjfmNcc
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIeBmD7oP2
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA5Er1Gq50
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkoQ8Rau5f
Fang’s POV
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7BEga6j20
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqlj5Vxlxv
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmxC3B9GEB
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfQnNmyOHx
Fang:We’re leaving…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDFSR2E4p6
That was my only option left before I killed them.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxlWUtruzt
Ruby:What?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIcRYouvNo
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygM5qJda5u
Fang:Pinpoint…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwdj4zAyy4
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgMXQVR7kG
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
