Dangerous Games
Chapter 2
Ruby combed through her new outfits that her parents had bought her until she found the perfect one and put it on showing it to Bonnie as she twirled around.
"What do you think?"
"I disapprove of wearing booty shorts to one of Clancy's parties."
Ruby rolled her eyes and stared at her reflection in the mirror. She had chosen a great outfit. A red tank top and booty shorts with knee highed black boots. Her usual curly hair was now straightened and her makeup was smokey. She looked perfect for Clancey's party, Bonnie just couldn't admit that she looked great.
"Ready to go?"
Bonnie nodded and they headed out to Clancy's party.
Bonnie didn't seem to stick around Ruby for too long, because as soon as they got there, Bonnie was pulled away by a guy.
"I'll be back later!" Bonnie screamed following the guy to the dance floor.
Ruby nodded and went to what she assumed was Clancy's kitchen. There was a couple of guys playing beer pong and she had to admit that out of all of them was the hottest guy she had ever laid eyes on. Well minus Clancy of course. He had blonde hair and blue eyes with broad shoulder and a body some guys would kill for. If Ruby could taste him she swore that he would be yummy.
Ruby walked over to where they were playing and batted her eyelashes the way she noticed her mother did a million times. The cute guy smiled and handed her a ball. She tossed it in a cup and drank it down.
When the game was finally winding down, she grabbed the cute guy and pulled him onto the dance floor.
"So do you have a name?" he asked.
"Ruby. And yours?"
"Liam."
"That's a nice name."
"Same with yours."
She laughed as he placed his hands on her waist. Ruby danced with Liam until she saw Clancy and Cassie arguing. She slapped him and stormed off in a fit of rage. Liam kissed Ruby's neck laughing she pulled away.
"Ugh. I have to go pee."
Liam nodded and Ruby wandered off to go find the bathroom. She must have been too drunk to notice anything, because she somehow stumbled into the basement.
Clancy was in there clutching onto something and Ruby almost screamed when she noticed the blood soaking the floor. Ruby knew the logical thing was to scream, but instead she ran forward and shoved Clancy out of the way to see what the hell was going on.
Cassie laid on the floor and bile rose in Ruby's throat. Cassie's throat was slit open and there was blood all over her. After she was done looking at Cassie, she looked at Clancy. There was blood all over his hands. It was either his or Cassie's and there was a blood soaked knife in his hand. Shit. What had she gotten herself into?
She had just walked in on Clancy killing Cassie.
"You-You killed her. Oh-Oh my God. You're a monster! You killed her! You killed Cassie!"
Clancy narrowed his eyes and she backed up almost tripping over Cassie's body.
"Shut up. I didn't mean to kill Cassie. I love her."
"Well you have a funny way of showing it when i'm standing right next to her dead body"
Clancy shoved Ruby over Cassie's body and the blood covered Ruby's legs and hands. It was a miracle that none of it got on her clothes.
"You're going to help me cover this up."
"What? Are you out of your mind?"
"If you don't help me . I'll tell the cops that you killed Cassie."
"What makes you think that they'll believe you?"
"For starters, You have her blood all over you."
"You're the one with the murder weapon."
"I'll tell them that you killed Cassie out of jealousy and I was getting the weapon out of your hands. It shouldn't be that hard to get them to believe me."
"You're sick."
"I'm running out of patience. What's your name?"
"Ruby"
"Well Ruby, it's time to make a choice."
Ruby looked at Cassie's body than at her hands. She had no doubt that Clancy could convince the cops that she murdered her.
"Fine. Just tell me what to do."
"Here. There's a sink over there. Wash off the knife and get the blood off you."
"What about her body?"
"One step at a time Ruby."
Ruby nodded and washed the blood off. Clancy took off Cassie's clothes and shoved them into a trash bag. Then he covered her body up with a tarp. He dragged her body to underneath the sink and dragged Ruby out of there.
Ruby heard a few voices and Clancy rushed her to the empty kitchen.
"Don't fight what's about to happen."
He placed her on the counter and pulled her shorts and panties down while unzipping and pulling down his pants. She was about to push him away when he kissed her slipping his hands in her shirt. She almost kicked him in the nuts when two guys entered the kitchen.
Ruby recognized one as Liam and the other one was Clancy's good friend Chubbs. Shit. Of course a boy that she really liked would enter at this time and to say he looked pissed would have been an understatement.
Clancy pulled away zipping up his zipper and Ruby pulled up her shorts. Talk about embarrassing.
"Hey Clancy. Where's Cassie?"
"Hell if I know. Probably screwing around with someone."
"What happened?"
"Cassie broke up with me and Ruby here was just trying to cheer me up."
Liam's jaw clenched, but didn't say anything as he left.
"I better go ahead and attend to the guest." Chubbs said leaving the room.
Clancy turned to Ruby distaste was written all over his face. She jumped off the counter to avoid less contact with Clancy as possible.
"What are you going to do with Cassie?" she whispered making sure no one would hear her.
"I'll dispose of her after the party."
He walked to the door then turned towards her.
"Oh and Ruby if you don't keep quiet about this i'll make sure you end up just like Cassie."
