The nurse's office looked like small hospital room. There was a medical cabinet, a desk with a clipboard on it, a bed behind a divider and an IV drip. But one sight really caught Ruby's attention and that was the wall of giant needles. Ruby thought they were just for show as needles that were the same size as her seemed really impractical. Since the nurse wasn't here yet, Ruby sat on the bed and waited. After a while the door opened. But it wasn't the nurse.

It was another dog mummy only he was bigger, wearing a grey jacket and trousers and a white shirt. And like the younger dog earlier, he had a sharp object in his head, except it was a sabre instead. "Hello madam. Are you waiting for the nurse too?"

"Yes." Ruby replied. She took a look at the sword on his head. "How often do you come here?"

"Every day. I seem to have this terrible headache I can't seem to get rid of."

"Have you looked at a mirror?" Ruby giggled.

"Now that's just silly. You didn't happen to bump into my son earlier, did you?" Ruby just nodded. "I wish he'll be more careful. He already has a terrible headache as well. But children are very active at that age aren't they. "

"Yeah, he was a cute little boy." They waited for a bit and when Ruby was going to start another conversation, the mummy fainted. Ruby sat in silenced for what felt like half an hour before the door again and the nurse appeared at last. She was a pink lizard wearing a white dress and hat with a red cross. She was holding a clip board and when she saw Ruby she gave a suggestive smile.

"You must be Ruby. My name's Catherine. I was told you needed a check up."

"That's right."

"Hmm. Since I don't have any records on you I'll have to do a full health check on you. You don't mind do you?"

"No. But should you do something with the dog on the floor." Ruby said pointing to the mummy

"Oh, don't worry about Mummy Papa. He won't get up for at least an hour." Catherine went to the door and proceeded to lock it.

"Why are you locking the door?" Ruby was starting to get nervous about what she was doing.

"So we don't get interrupted, sweetie. I think we should start with a blood test." The nurse then went to the wall with the needles and browsing through them. "But what needle to use?" Now Ruby was scared. Those needles weren't for show and she was planning to suck her dry with them.

"Ahh, do you want to use a smaller needle? I mean you'll just be wasting blood if you use something that big."

"Oooohh, but I must."Catherine said as she picked up a giant needle."I want as much of that fresh...Young... Blood of yours as I can." The nurse approached Ruby with a look of disturbing lust. "Don't worry. I'll enjoy it."

As Catherine was going to stab her with the needle, Ruby had a split second to do something and saw Papa. There was piecing sound against flesh and Catherine was giving a satisfying moan. As she pulled the needle, she had trouble get blood out of it. She took a look at her victim to see what's wrong, only to see her needle in Mummy Papa.

"Catherine. I don't need a blood test. Do I?"

Catherine looked behind her and saw Ruby trying to open the door. Ruby ducked when Catherine jabbed the needle through the door. Ruby then ran to the back of the room and tried to break the window, but it wouldn't budge. Ruby was trapped. The window was stuck, the door wouldn't open, and Papa wasn't being very helpful.

"You're just getting a blood test. Are you afraid of needles? " Papa turned to Catherine. "Mind if I give her some moral support?"

"Sure. It's always the worst the first time." Catherine said in a suggestive tone that was missed by the mummy as he took Ruby's hand.

"There, there. Just pretend nothings there. Just look away from the big, scary needle." Unfortunately his words fell on deaf ears as Ruby was only focus on the nurse with the needle. As Catherine was about to thrust the needle into her, the door was broken down.

A cactus with black hair and moustache, wearing a poncho with some bullet holes, a bandolier, a red scarf, blue trousers and a yellow sombrero. "Senior!" he said, pointing an accusing finger at Papa.

"That medicine you gave me was poison! We duel! NOW!" and took out a pair of guns.

Papa took out a bottle from his pocket."Didn't hurt me." and took a sip. "Would you like some?" He asked Ruby, only to see an empty space.

"ohh. She must've got away." Catherine said in a disappointing tone. But then she turned it into a smile. "But she couldn't have gone far."

Ruby ran as fast as she could. She wanted to get back to her room and get away from that crazy nurse. As she ran, she saw the cactus girl coming out of a room. "What's wrong, Senorita?"

"Nurse, 'pant'. Giant needle, 'pant'. After me." Ruby said between breaths.

"Nurse? Catherine!" The cactus took Ruby's hand and threw her into a wardrobe. "Stay there and don't say anything." She close the wardrobe door and went out of the room where bumped into Catherine.

"Cactus Girl."

"Catherine" Cactus gulped.

"Did you see my patient? She wears black, has pale skin and red hair."

"No, Senorita."

"Really?" She pushed Cactus aside and walked into the room. "I could've swore I've heard her over here. I mean, I can just SMELL HER!" And she impaled the bed with the needle, and took it out with no result."And her veins were just so full of adrenalin that I can hear her heart PULSING!" And jabbed the needle into the wardrobe. Ruby was sitting in the corner of the wardrobe when the needle came through and covered her mouth to stop her screams.

Unsatisfied, Catherine left. "I guess she's not here. I'll look somewhere else. By the way. "She turned to Cactus. "I would like to give you a blood test later." Cactus Girl shivered in fear from that.

When Catherine was gone, Ruby came out of the wardrobe. "Thank you."

"You can pay me back later. We better lay low for a while. At least until that bitch finds something else to stab."

"Wait. Gregory said there was a doctor. Maybe he can tell her to stop?" Ruby suggested.

"I don't know? I never saw this doctor before in my life."

"I have to find him. If he can give me a check up, Catherine may have no reason to get my blood."

"I doubt that will work. But I don't have any real plans besides hiding. So let's get looking."

And the girls walked down the hall in search of the doctor.

"So where should we start looking for this doctor?" Cactus asked.

"Any place where you can relax can be good start."

"We have a few but there in the..." Cactus stopped when she heard a familiar jingle.

"Do you know, who I am? They call me, Judgement Boy!"

The jingle continued until the scales known as Judgement Boy stopped in front of the girls.

"JUDGEMENT BOY!"

"Um. Hello." Ruby said to Judgement Boy.

"You work at a school. You have a caring nature, and everyone likes you. However, one worker is horrible at her job, but your boss can't get rid of her as no wanted her job. You were offered it, but you haven't decided yet. But you'll have to choose. Do you say no, yet the worker torment everyone. Or say yes and take the job, but you'll take the only thing the worker has and she'll never forget what you took from her. What do you choose?"

Cactus answered first, "Yes. If she's horrible, I'll defiantly want to get rid of her."

Ruby however was struggling for an answer. She was about to answer when suddenly.

"Excuse me. You girls are in my way." A voice said behind them. They turned around to see a blue man with dark blue hair, stitches on his face and mouth and two bolts on both sides of his head, wearing a white coat, purple tie and glasses.

"Sorry sir, just give me a second." Ruby said and look back to Judgement Boy, but he disappeared. Ruby turned back to the man and got a good look t his outfit. "You wouldn't happen to be a doctor, would you?"

"Why yes I am. Dr. Fritz. Pleasure to you."

"I'm Ruby Gloom and this is Cactus Girl." Ruby introduced. "Listen. We got a little problem with the nurse."

"Catherine! Don't tell me she's been killing her patients again. No. That's exactly what she's doing, is it? "

"Yes." Ruby answered. "We were wondering if you could..I don't know...Make her stop?"Ending with a hopeful smile.

"I quit." Fritz deadpanned.

"What?"

"I quit. I couldn't take her anymore. All she wants to do is perform blood tests with those damn giant needles. She is you problem, not mine."

"But, you're a doctor." Cactus Girl said. "You must have some authority."

"No I don't. If you want to complain, complain to Gregory. He is the manager. Though I doubt he'll listen. He enjoys the pain she cause people. Now can you get out of my way now." The girls stepped out of the way and let him pass.

"Wanna go find Gregory?" Cactus asked Ruby.

"No. I just want to go to my room."

The two went up the stairs to Ruby's room. The walk went in silence as Ruby was worried where Catherine might be and Cactus was paying attention to her surroundings. When they got to Ruby's room, she was about to open it when Cactus stopped her. Cactus took a peek in the keyhole and a look of fear appeared on her face. She gestured to Ruby for her to look too. Ruby saw Catherine sitting on the chair and holding her syringe. Ruby turned to Cactus gestured for them to walk away quietly. They snuck away from the room, hoping to avoid making any noise to attract her.

"OWW!" Cactus screamed. Ruby turned to her in shock as Cactus looked at what she step on."Who put all these thumb tacks here!" Ruby just grabbed her hand and ran as fast as could. Catherine saw them as she came out of the room and began to give chase. But step on a few tacks.

"Ow! Why did I ask that brat to make a trap?"

Ruby ran as fast as she could, dragging Cactus Girl with her. "Any Ideas now, Ruby." Said Cactus.

"No." They kept running until they went past the stairs. "Wait. I got an idea."She stopped and turned to Cactus. "Do you still have your lasso?"

"Yes." And looked at the stairs."Oh, I see. We set a trap for her."

"That's right. Now follow me." Ruby went down the stair with Cactus. Or she thought. Cactus Girl wasn't with her when she went down stairs, but she did came down after half a minute. "What were you doing?"

"Setting up the trap."

"But I didn't tell you the plan yet?" Ruby said nervously.

"It was obvious. I tied the rope around the stair posts so she'll fall down the stairs."

"That wasn't my plan at all!" Ruby nearly screamed. "I was going to stand here and you'll tie her up when she comes down the stairs."

"Ooh. At least it'll work."Cactus said with a nervous laugh. Above them they heard the laughter of small boy near the stair.

"MUMMY DOG!" They both screamed.

"Is that my patient?" Catherine voice was heard upstairs.

"Patient? Can I see, can I see?" Mummy Dog said.

"Sure, why not."

"No. Don't come down." Ruby tried to warn them but they both tripped over the rope and went tumbling down the stairs. Catherine became unconscious from the fall, but Mummy Dog wasn't so lucky. Catherine's needle was impaled in Dog's abdomen and he was crying his eyes out.

"Oh no, what have I done?" Cactus said guiltily.

"Calm down. Okay."Ruby told Cactus."You go remove the rope and find Fritz. I'll take Mummy Dog to the nurse's office."

"Yes. I understand" and went upstairs. "Sorry."

Ruby took Dog in her arms and hurried to the office. When she got there, she placed Dog on the bed and immediately started on removing the needle. "Okay Mummy Dog. I want you be as calm as possible. Alright?" Dog just kept crying as Ruby carefully removed the needle. The needle came out easily and she took some disinfected from the cabinet. "This is gonna sting a bit." And she dabbed the disinfected on his wound.

The door flew with and Cactus Girl and rushed in with Gregory and a tied up Catherine right behind them.

"What's going on here? What happened?" Said Gregory.

"It was mine fault." Admitted Cactus. "I set a trap for Catherine, and Mummy Dog..."

"That doesn't matter." Said Fritz. He gave Dog looked over. "Just be glad it was one of the mummies. If it was anyone else, they might not be so lucky."

"You mean he's going to be okay?" Said Ruby and Fritz nodded. "Hear that Mummy Dog. You're going to be just fine." Mummy Dog laughed in joy as Ruby smiled at him. When she saw Gregory, she walked over to him.

"Hello Ruby. How was your..." He didn't finish as Ruby slapped him in the face. "That was pretty tame."

"Why didn't you tell me about Catherine's blood obsession?" Ruby yelled at him.

"Obsession? I have you know, Catherine is the best nurse we have."

"Are you serious?! A nurse is supposed to care about the patient's. Not suck all their blood and kill them like a vampire."

Gregory look like he was thinking."Well. When you put that way. Do you want her job?"

"WHAT?!" was the reaction from everyone in the room. Except for Mummy Dog.

"Well you do seem more qualified than her, and you have the caring factor that Catherine seems to lack."

Ruby thought about for a bit while Fritz was begging her to take the job.

"Gregory!" hiss Catherine."She can't be a nurse. She doesn't have the same passion for her patients as me. And I don't think she's ever been to a lesson on medicine."

"I'll take it." Ruby said finally.

"What?"

"I'll take the job. This hotel needs someone who won't try to kill them for anything."

Catherine just stood there flabbergasted while Gregory smirked at the decision. "That's good to hear. 'chuckle' and to make it official." He clapped his hands and small black creatures with red eyes and black veils, called prompter entered the room and removed all the giant needles from the room. One even took Catherine's nurse cap and placed it on Ruby's head. was just so happy that singing a happy tone while doing back flips out of the room.

"Woah."Ruby said. "I didn't think it'll be that big a deal."

"Oh but it is." Gregory replied."A nurse is a very something in this hotel. Now why don't you girls head of to bed and I'll send you some dinner."

Ruby and Cactus Girl left the room with Mummy Dog following them, while the shellshock Catherine was carried off by the prompters.

When he was alone, Gregory let out a sinister chuckle. "All according to plan."

Cactus Girl had her head down as they walked through the hall.

"Are you okay lady." Dog asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry about the stairs."

"What for? I just tripped. That happens to all the time. Bye." And he ran off laughing.

"Are you really okay?" Ruby asked.

"No." answered Cactus" What I did was terrible. I could've gotten a civilian injured. If my brother saw it, he'll leave in the desert and make me fend for myself."

"It's alright. Everyone makes mistakes."

"I guess you're right. I'm Cactus Girl, by the way."

"What?"

"You asked for my name earlier."

"Don't worry. I heard it earlier too."

The girls made it to Ruby's room when Cactus decided to leave."You know, you should meet my brother. Anyone who can make Catherine cry is bound to impress him."

"By Cactus Girl." Ruby waved her goodbye and she returned.

When Ruby open her door, she meet a strange visitor. Judgement Boy was floating there, but his arms looked like they were weighed down at one side and the golden light was missing.

"You took the job. And now the worker has nothing but her home, and she'll never let you forget it."

Ruby was confused for a bit till she realised what he meant. "Wait. Is this about me becoming the new nurse."

"It was your choice. You get to live with it"

Judgement Boy left the room, singing his song, leaving a confused Ruby behind.

Next door, a figure, hidden in darkness with red eyes overheard what Ruby just.

"The guest is the new nurse? Are there no depths you wouldn't sink to? I won't let you or your family get away with this Gregory."

Today: Hells Chef

Hello everyone. Today we'll try to find the fierce Hells Chef. Beyond this door is where people claim he inhabits.

This appears to be the right spot, but the Chef appears to be gone. It must be off hunting to feed the many creatures under his care. As we can see here, the Chef uses tools to help it in preparing the food. Although this place may look filthy, the Chef is very sensitive to foreign materials, so it asks regularly to clean its home. Oh. It sounds like it's coming back. Let's hide in this cupboard here.

Ah, it looks like it brought some prey to cook. If we're lucky enough, we might see him prepare the food. What's this? It appears to be alarmed by something. The Hells Chef is sensitive to almost anything, like smelling or hearing. And it's now looking in our direction and it got its knife ready. We just might be lucky enough to see it hunt on live t...
