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.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaqaAQ8eZp
Man:There it is Scream! Scream your little heart out SCREAM LIKE YOUR MOTHER DID WHILE THE GRIMM TORE HER TO SHREDS!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHicw7H7BZ
Fang was taken back by that remark. What did he mean? What is The Grimm?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrjExfcuYR
Ruby was coughing but somehow held back her tears.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LkKaANm6e
Fang:(Thought)Why did she want to return to this?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyIB8Kudo4
Man:Well come on CRY!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfg8WKl6CK
Ruby held strong; she sniffled and choked but refused to cry.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MbVG2MEbP
Man:What do you think you’re tough now just because you survived in the forest? Then hit me!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EFcr1Zvoe
Ruby stayed down; The Man bit his bottom lip.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsraNBizIma
Man:Drag yourself to bed with no food.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxoc42vB0t
Ruby did as she was told, holding her once again battered ribs. Ruby dragged herself through the house.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75d4ERv2AO
Man:(Spits) Pathetic…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7thb2cNpZh
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.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4XxflB2t7
Fang:(Thought) An attic?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXQEsdbrjz
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.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxXSI4OFGT
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:
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyerUj8bJq2
Fang slid down the roof and vaulted into the attic without making a sound. He looked around to find it was completely empty.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJmgurClXI
Fang:(Thought) I could’ve sworn her energy signal came from here…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHC0bL3MYv
He looked behind him and found Ruby resting under the window, trying to dodge the draft coming through the window.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6qsP2ooJi
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…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2srsze39T
Fang:(Thought) I’ll heal her anyways.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLIdRQoUsM
…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW2HnM7WfW
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.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iiC9iqu3m
Woman:And you are?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGuFq28oRC
Fang:Fang Twilight, a friend of Ruby.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvufiud8SE
Woman:(Chuckles) A friend…of this brat!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAutBl6EPE
Fang looked down at Ruby as she began to stir, before returning his attention to the lady.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqjduBtYNh
Ruby’s Pov:
After another dreamless sleep I awoke to find both my stepmom and…Fang? When did he get here?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSwur9Cksz
Fang:Don’t you dare call her a brat!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SlvPuzYgE
He was enraged…why?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPt5Ev4epm
Stepmom:She murdered her own mother and threatened me.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOudoeDUKE
No…NO NO NO NOT THE LIES! If Fang actually believes them I’ll have no one anymore…again…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxnlqliOF9
Fang:QUIT LYING YOU SHAMELESS GOAT!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0eAj91IZr
Huh?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVm4P1HPdl
My Stepmom was taken back by that remark.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoBZdP1OOk
Stepmom:How dare you?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1jpLoi24q
Fang:NO how dare you, Your voice is filled with nothing but lies and forgery.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhnwlZMFGR
I sat up drawing both of their attentions.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAdAa9jYxm
Fang:(Smiles) Morning Ruby…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyJ7EpLbyv
Even though I just heard him arguing he still talked nicely to me…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF8qDQ6dki
Ruby:Morning…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW57tMQQVf
Stepmom:Oh quiet you! can’t you see the grownups talking…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPVGopsCrO
Fang:(Growls) Oh SHUT IT KAREN!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWex3nuiIzO
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.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFxjSC2m9D
Ruby:FANG!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6wlU7pefi
Fang:Keep talking about my friend and you will die.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gb5PiDiwB
Stepmom:Try…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN2HZ2pTsF
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.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebDtA5yauP
BOOM!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStUAhUyWnB
Fang’s blade was unsheathed; the cyan aura had trailed down to his blade.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbCyE8qXT0
Fang:What was that?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FpVac3cor
Ruby:FANG CALM DOWN!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHK0yvSet6
Stepmom:You tried to kill me?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP7LZKGsop
Fang:That was a warning you snake.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCWFAUndX6
Dad:Honey, what’s going on up there?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Ei0cQkYz
NO my father was coming this could get bad.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5B8V5sLQT
Stepmom:HELP THE MISTAKE AND SOME RANDOM BOY IS ATTACKING ME!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD2vRcs8HY
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.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKdnY1Jjtj
Father:WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaDjQ2tTWJ
Fang:I could ask you the same question, Abuser.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwiqFDeolS
My father looked at me with such rage in his eyes, it was obvious he was gonna beat me to death once this ended…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxz1m6fO0w
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.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMqaRfrKPN
Father:What I do with my daughter is none of your business.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIbJxKI2XL
Fang:What you do to my Friend is my business!
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRJYKCzbvD
Fang’s POV
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo5FALxkNo
I wanna kill them…and I could too. Just one swipe could wipe them both off the map.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o6E8BOH3T
Ruby:Fang calm down I’m fine.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM15vbDcnb
She may have been fine but this situation was far from fine.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTZtsUuOKL
Fang:We’re leaving…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvByRyp47R
That was my only option left before I killed them.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9BN6euINB
Ruby:What?
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrG7UaA9Gz
Ruby’s father:You aren’t taking my daughter anywhere.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchrpeKN9gq
Fang:Pinpoint…
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchjFYEsHWI
There was an azure colored flash. Ruby's father and stepmom opened their eyes to find that Ruby and Fang had disappeared.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtRFbEFRIx
Ruby’s Father:That little brat!
