Basically this will be season three from Ruby and the person she is possessing's point of view.

It was the middle of the night. A young woman strode down the street with only the occasional lamppost penetrating the darkness.

She was a tall, pretty blonde. Her wavy hair that cascaded down past her shoulders bounced with each step. She dressed modestly; tennis shoes, jeans, plain green T-shirt.

She quickened her pace as she heard thunder. Last thing she wanted was to be caught in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Stopping under a lamppost she looked up to see if storm clouds had already gathered. They had. Or….it had.

There was one enormous storm cloud. But it was darker and thicker looking than normal clouds. It moved as though rolling down a hill. And it moved much too fast to be only pushed by the barely existent wind.

One strand suddenly erupted from the side and glided down towards earth. It was followed by several other strands, as though they were chasing it. All headed towards her.

Panicked, she started to run. Looking back, she saw the mini storm clouds gaining on her. What the hell is this!? I must be dreaming! This can't be real! She tripped and landed hard on her hands, scraping them. She turned herself over just in time for the first black cloud to shove itself down her throat. She tried to get a breath in but was unable until all of the cloud had entered her body. As soon as oxygen entered her lungs, a shock wave pulsated from her, blowing the chasing clouds into oblivion.

She lay there for a few moments, unsure if she imagined what had happened or not. Shakily standing up, she proceeded home. Something was wrong…she just couldn't put her finger on it.

Taking off her clothes and replacing it with a nightgown, she climbed into bed and recounted the events that happened that evening. I must have imagined it. I haven't been getting enough sleep and now I'm seeing things. She had heard on the news earlier about a giant cloud that now one could identify as anything. It didn't rain or have any indications of a storm cloud. And it didn't dissipate. It would disappear sometimes, but would return later in a different area of the country. It first appeared in Wyoming.

Pushing the matter to the back of her mind, claiming she was being paranoid. She fell asleep.

'Okay…this is a weird dream…' She found herself floating naked through space. No plants were near, just stars and darkness reaching forever. 'This is so weird…and surprisingly vivid.'

'You've always liked astronomy,' a foreign voice said. She flinched and turned towards the direction the voice came from. Her eyes went wide as she stared at another naked form of herself floating not fifty feet away. 'I thought you'd be comfortable here.'

'Okay…This dream just got weirder. So are you, like, my subconscious or something?'

'No.' She didn't smile or give any indication of emotion. 'My name is Ruby.'

'Okay…I'm Katie. So if you're not my subconscious, who are you?'

'I'm sorry.' Katie knit her face in confusion. 'I didn't want to use you but I had no choice.'

'Excuse me?'

Ruby smiled for the first time. 'Remember that little adventure that happened on the way home?'

'Haha, no. That didn't happen…Great no my mind's trying to make it real while I'm asleep…this cannot get any worse…'

'You didn't imagine it.'

Katie stopped her ranting and looked at her other self that claimed to be this Ruby. 'Why do you look like me then?'

'I lost my true form a long time ago. I don't remember what it looks like.'

'What?'

'Katie. There are things in this world that you could barely comprehend. And I can't give you the full blown explanation. I just need you to know enough, that you'll let me take over.'

'Wha…Take over what?'

'Your body.'

Katie was stunned for a second. 'I really am going mad…'

'Look,' Ruby said matter-of-factly, 'There's a war going on. It's just started but it will escalate…'

'You mean the Iraqi war?'

Ruby sighed in frustration. 'Just shut up and listen to me.' Katie opened her mouth in protest but shut it after a thought. There didn't seem to be a reason to argue. This is just a dream…won't hurt to listen. 'This war…is against humans and demons. I know, there's no way you can believe me. You've been in the dark for too long.

'An army of demons were set loose in Wyoming about a month ago. When they do not possess someone, they're in the form of black smoke.'

'So…you're a demon?'

'Yes.'

'And…you're possessing me?'

'No. Not yet. I want your permission to take control of your body.'

'Okay, even if I was to believe you, which I don't, why would I let you possess me? You're a demon. You're fighting against humans! Why would I turn against my own race?'

'If I was like other demons, we wouldn't be talking right now,' Ruby said with a little venom in her voice. 'They would have just taken over and shoved you deep into yourself.'

'So you're…a…not evil demon?'

'No. I want to end this war before it starts. Now, humans, there aren't very many that can and will fight this demon army. They need all the help they can get.'

'If it's such a big deal…if it's so important then why didn't you just take over without my consent? Aren't you wasting time?'

Ruby didn't say anything for a couple of moments. Then, 'If I possess you, with what I'm going to do…The chances of your survival are very small. So, I want to make sure that you know everything before…'

Katie opened her mouth and closed it again. She thought over everything. She barely knew what was going on. If this was her imagination, she can do whatever and be fine. But if this was real…then she needed to do this to help the humans fight the demons. What am I thinking!? There's no such thing as demons! This is just all in my imagination…still, curiosity reigned. 'What'll happen to me while you possess me?'

'You'll see flashes of reality. You won't feel anything I feel…'

'How exactly will it kill me?'

Ruby sighed. 'If something happens to the body, like it gets shot or stabbed and it's fatal, you'll die. Well, you'll be alive as long as I possess you. But as soon as I leave your body, you'll die.'

There were a few moments of silence that Katie used to comprehend everything. What if this is real? I mean, this has to be the most vivid dream ever…this has got to be like an asset trip or something…

Ruby continued. 'I know that it'll be impossible to accept what I'm telling you, but believe me when I say that if you let me take over, it'll be the best for everyone.'

'Can I see everything?' Katie asked suddenly.

'Excuse me?'

'Can you make it so that I see and hear everything that happens?'

'Why?'

'I…I want to know what exactly I'm giving my life for.'

'Are you sure?'

'Yes,' Katie said, absolutely not sure.

Ruby stepped up to Katie and said, 'I'm sorry.'

It was early in the morning. The sun's rays barely lit her bedroom. She got up and took the nightgown off. She grimaced looking at the wardrobe in the closet. Got to get better clothes. Walking into the bathroom she washed her face slowly with warm water. When she was done she looked up at the mirror and into the pitch black eyes staring back.
