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.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrMLKHC8eF
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.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOuJOHHIfz
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQdVe8iFQz
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqKwPn8WZu
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbSHDaZRVr
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqOqSTGPhm
Man:Well come on CRY!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqKKcAuLY7
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GwJtPEcbl
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iONY2Oj7D
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwnkMJMN3e
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwH128gInC
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDcLyDpCXr
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpBHWwJV3b
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.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B9lvKsw5f
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvme5nfNRvF
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.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKuQSbJwic
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:
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU0ynE6kfF
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP2QwIiHGK
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq8L1y69O2
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GWBATLyix
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…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlqwAVgKX1
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ8m7cxLr4
…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqU8IDgjOl
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.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxB2n2S18r
Woman:And you are?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw7Yl3qOjU
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAc6Rxb2ud
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDtdeKBKab
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2531nV400C
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLFJcLuukw
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzR3cjKxcS
He was enraged…why?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHsS116ZkM
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOj9RwfHse
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkvcR6Y46S
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR3T7uxRr0
Huh?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp4zbgSlOx
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lfVIrZn4t
Stepmom:How dare you?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGh6xztD9E
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57KlJtcDfb
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPMIdsTPzr
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqSvCyYyuz
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7eMnIKzIw
Ruby:Morning…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8vaHHIzWx
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEkjAvfbZj
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD59eDGFZt
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.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMMMzq5mU1
Ruby:FANG!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1E8162inC
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbaCfG8San
Stepmom:Try…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpblnwiTX8
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.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1OBLk6lwC
BOOM!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3DvqGECE7
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wlNuRioRX
Fang:What was that?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkUBYBCdde
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm9uPHpJek
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQHSatEK8D
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFzT7rxbx7
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYanoRJGkn
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnllt8H3BQp
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZvzxTULR4
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.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzux86LWQKd
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw9xgaIc9i
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT1cyY3s1u
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUWkLYq2kY
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.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXwXPxE4nr
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD6H5EIwDS
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvISSJ4J9V
Fang’s POV
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h4zdpZzBV
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg4b0VqE0M
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWPC1Qn4WI
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQFexAa3Rj
Fang:We’re leaving…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5hCoobwcD
That was my only option left before I killed them.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxMEg8HL0h
Ruby:What?
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ncUKbe1GS
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDdjgexIPz
Fang:Pinpoint…
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvaQjW1ImW
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtP8t4qTK2
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
