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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnLxZnW5FG
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZT3ubxIUh
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqXYbZOUPg
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX5XQWuSMn
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNl8Iki9Q9
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz70pVYaoyq
Man:Well come on CRY!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGxQ5MAtuE
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JuwpPMb4t
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcyeqtypnc
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy84SNOi38
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfH99xHvwD
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUpish6MW7
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ6vJbwKle
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKYktzG6Ev
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfJLkSsaGh
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSQ696DeXU
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:
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnesSbpbL3
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BF8pZ6MsE
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9MfJ6xvB0
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorJ2iLNcs9
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…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AwJjjPP3y
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ1lUftfAa
…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpffBHEoYb
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2avRTPosp
Woman:And you are?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ7EiQkK2O
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKADFtaUc9Z
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCSqIymEM2
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRFoIV7pw8
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobF1WrbHlU
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARd9Bpsr61
He was enraged…why?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSHK5eHBHw
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHj7ds3nYd
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06AjxB6dGk
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3wq7Gkz2h
Huh?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdfYqvvz7s
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZeZ43QWlp
Stepmom:How dare you?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGwXrWsEeW
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOUSrXpZMq
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbpKvroGd5
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpAWLI5PqM
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yKy7O6kJD
Ruby:Morning…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPep1erdrC7
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUWQdyViBf
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcTJFriojP
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwmgQxlXhQ
Ruby:FANG!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGhripvJaT
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yxdnmhRCT
Stepmom:Try…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOst8VAgbhx
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpd1kIJEDA
BOOM!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwveGwwcxhY
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFAIOxpxT6
Fang:What was that?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWS65CkaQK
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9Ig7Yp7N3
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkrIzvO2dI
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgV4kYaPZs
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UWPgPHNy5
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ319e7vPA52
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0CyqokpnC
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghnv5Uk2Qz
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8ik3mSNi3
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSdAq2EJ7h
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVvlFPWSxY
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.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6AQFXAbaf
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN1KayZiZe
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLbpuXL4a7
Fang’s POV
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvdREcJGDU
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWhcKO82ba
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwsp1fieFx
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHz7LEADbB
Fang:We’re leaving…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBH3Oh8BF6
That was my only option left before I killed them.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwFbKs1JXw
Ruby:What?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEp6Jn9HNq
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3JbAVXj3V
Fang:Pinpoint…
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDwt2SRCGr
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRyIgwe0T6
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq5XkPIbPf
