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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAL8R2esb1st
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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZqUVDgjt6
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
240Please respect copyright.PENANAQFrLey5J0a
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
240Please respect copyright.PENANAae2P1iPl2J
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAxIgYHHmYyL
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
240Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ1mu8T7pa
Man:Well come on CRY!
240Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ0ovX1ieX
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAhy2MXBS519
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
240Please respect copyright.PENANA5gHR29LRAK
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
240Please respect copyright.PENANA9vVuLTq5I6
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
240Please respect copyright.PENANARirCH2iawK
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
240Please respect copyright.PENANA9JqkeYLFok
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
240Please respect copyright.PENANA2qqFnSkv61
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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAvCW7ULDTHa
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
240Please respect copyright.PENANAD2wYAu0MCb
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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAbQtmuuJQlb
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:
240Please respect copyright.PENANAXDTRr7FzQv
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
240Please respect copyright.PENANABd3VMop38S
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
240Please respect copyright.PENANAbcRRBOWatN
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
240Please respect copyright.PENANABdwojsBQAF
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…
240Please respect copyright.PENANAZfFqGwXhmc
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAAxfnczzUo3
…
240Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9t3Aqqx60
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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAAWd5MFPnso
Woman:And you are?
240Please respect copyright.PENANArVUGyIAig0
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAUv7sWkKWvh
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
240Please respect copyright.PENANA2NlvcMQhUK
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAGlOYC4U0hc
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
240Please respect copyright.PENANAX42bHipM7t
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
240Please respect copyright.PENANA08SyZyMiK2
He was enraged…why?
240Please respect copyright.PENANAMCfMlnwL8O
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAKVNUBysbXP
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
240Please respect copyright.PENANAFrWoAkznIZ
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
240Please respect copyright.PENANA4zWBLcZmc8
Huh?
240Please respect copyright.PENANAQmZYnBQBXb
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
240Please respect copyright.PENANANXPvrtN9pz
Stepmom:How dare you?
240Please respect copyright.PENANAY1QIznbUZg
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
240Please respect copyright.PENANACCJ5TF8kWV
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
240Please respect copyright.PENANADvsJPzTwU2
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
240Please respect copyright.PENANAs0tGSp92hX
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
240Please respect copyright.PENANAaChNWSKZKk
Ruby:Morning…
240Please respect copyright.PENANA3lYEVDcaMN
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
240Please respect copyright.PENANA4MwDoZv1cG
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
240Please respect copyright.PENANAdrpGiR9LAj
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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAc6qrXO9NMJ
Ruby:FANG!
240Please respect copyright.PENANAcGpwLuudf8
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
240Please respect copyright.PENANA6qMIXaNarq
Stepmom:Try…
240Please respect copyright.PENANAWk63Gwd2rm
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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAEO8r8RE1mx
BOOM!
240Please respect copyright.PENANA43NkbeHlEp
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0SAMBF4qx
Fang:What was that?
240Please respect copyright.PENANA6pOZyYxV8R
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
240Please respect copyright.PENANAczj0jc52O3
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
240Please respect copyright.PENANAlypkP77h0a
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAYm6XT09YeW
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
240Please respect copyright.PENANAjUfOoqaTVz
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAG7HYPJZcl1
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
240Please respect copyright.PENANAJk0eN5oX91
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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAWjzsv0SQH9
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
240Please respect copyright.PENANAJhw90cKULs
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAlp9nNCuefc
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
240Please respect copyright.PENANAPqgCBskOXa
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.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAtoLS2WfHE3
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAgraS82voaV
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
240Please respect copyright.PENANAyaVUtuhBkE
Fang’s POV
240Please respect copyright.PENANAo2IsYSwT5Z
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAEXrqWZM4Km
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
240Please respect copyright.PENANALTJeJLvSVT
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAvqWOFV1Djo
Fang:We’re leaving…
240Please respect copyright.PENANA4FJSlWFfiw
That was my only option left before I killed them.
240Please respect copyright.PENANAxaffwoCKJP
Ruby:What?
240Please respect copyright.PENANA27dv0R8Mvy
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
240Please respect copyright.PENANASqmjSCCd3k
Fang:Pinpoint…
240Please respect copyright.PENANAEJVsLWTRM4
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
240Please respect copyright.PENANANnXo8VPpho
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
