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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZsFeAB9V8
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIpOrtxyUM
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOHkUcXQwb
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG2UbY4uD8
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTuzpYOltO
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOgYmGDW66
Man:Well come on CRY!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimL5I3LOjZ
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSBD5K6Lnp
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTM4FuBPMz
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOlSByjj1P
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywF3XuguSE
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SFB6P8Mnm
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDP95Xd5XL
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mQrlMunqJ
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr2xgSXJ2R
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWOrit5Ey9
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:
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXc5OALpeM
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqsSXqn0qa
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9QQfgnokm
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ymFIhDID
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…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmkSZ4h34e
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ny3iLoSGM
…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsHGtSz6FU
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDUGH5S8Q7
Woman:And you are?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknKlC9ycGY
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqE86R80VA
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4sDSrwuCx
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzanK47TF4a
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVLSdYCmrA
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1o4tFuVTG
He was enraged…why?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWglxlSD0u
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESOobKHx2U
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOafUrspI5e
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV07cai69V
Huh?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZS4y3jLCr
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz31fVnjr7R
Stepmom:How dare you?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSDxH8YPrZ
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbS6pUk5Bd
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSzVrqSq69
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RD0Wk0L2J
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIF6VTnZnB
Ruby:Morning…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4qVlgV5Y8
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNCdz4vcUn
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQrOuO7qED
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMqFp3tWdS
Ruby:FANG!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS9nt5ExzQ
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT73VvrJN9z
Stepmom:Try…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvJh3mYD7k
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2dylFeyUF
BOOM!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHA8Bog6zY
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNBfyOdJpA
Fang:What was that?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8TkZraMHq
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMMGwmbGMr
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TAm8hANoI
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIf5s1cqfr
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C6F7boIZK
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5sLfaLIRZ
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk8M8JIYu8
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBz8ZO5Zbz
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HDTShEXhD
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5zYM0EAng
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVVSI6hJeL
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEaKpOfAve
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG1yKmk4om
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNHAlGigOE
Fang’s POV
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj8JekMNCH
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28JHd0jSJT
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQUaiyUOxm
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwkCrrJpKm
Fang:We’re leaving…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7KnLGK8Dx
That was my only option left before I killed them.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCsUPc7sw8
Ruby:What?
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM64Wqcwfda
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm8w48IzL9
Fang:Pinpoint…
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyC0X2E6cQ
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsSXffY6wj
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
