Sinful Obsessions: Drabbles for Ruby & Bela
Title: Taking You All the Way
POV: Ruby's
Song: "Back Home" ~ Cold
"How long's it gonna take, Bela?"
The human's eyes plead her to leave her be, to give her more time than she's already been given.
But no…
It's been the fourth night in this flea infested motel, and as far as she's concerned they've gotten nowhere.
At all.
Bela doesn't trust her, only enough that she remains, probably too scared to do much else.
I have been patient… very fucking patient… but I can't watch her in this state.
It turns her heart into a puddle of freezing water, puts unwelcome thoughts in her head that Bela is broken, will never go back to the way she was before.
Now that she's seen hell, things will never be the same…
But Ruby, she's lived in hell for how long?
And she wants to connect with Bela, reach out to her because they've shared the same pain, both lost their humanity.
Even if she didn't want Bela to lose hers.
"I'm serious. How long am I gonna have to wait for you to pull yourself together and stop thinking the knives under my mattress are for you?"
Bela gulps and starts to walk away, Ruby places a hand on her neck and turns her head to look into her eyes.
"I've waited for you for this long. Don't you think it's time you cut me a little slack?"
The human looks outside the window nervously, leading to Ruby grabbing her attention once more.
"They're not out there, Bela. You've got to trust me on that."
Please just trust me…
"If they were out there, I'd already have their asses on a silver platter. Served to you, dead and with a side of ketchup."
Her twisted humor seems to calm Bela down an inch.
Ruby smiles even though it's not nearly enough.
