Hey there!

Thanks for the reviews I've gotten :)

at CaptainHookLover: I'm so glad you thought MM was funny, because that was were I was going :)

Anyways chapter 6 is here:

Chapter 6; The Confession.

„What were you thinking?!" Mary-Margaret must have asked this question for the 100th time, as they entered her apartment. David was sitting in the living room and got up as the two showed up.

„What's going on?" he asked.

„Nothing." Ruby said quickly, but Mary-Margaret didn't go for it.

„Ruby is now dating Dr. Whale."

„What?!"

She rolled her eyes. Unbelieveable. „As I already told your wife, whom I can only assume has gone deaf... I am not dating him. We're just friends."

„Oh really? Because I haven't seen you kiss any of your other friends goodbye after you spend the night. On - the - lips!" Mary-Margaret pointed out and of course Ruby couldn't deny that.

David didn't seem to be able to catch up, but probably found it safer to say nothing and trying to find the golden thread as the conversation continued.

„So what, maybe I'm starting to. What's your problem anyway?"

„My problem is that you're falling for the biggest jerk in this town. He's Dr. Frankenstein for the love of god... he created a monster. None of us has ever done such a horrible thing! Plus, he may have an alcohol problem."

As Ruby shook her head she realized that Whale was actually right. Mary-Margaret didn't think of him as one of them, of 'her people'. „No, you're right. None of you has ever done such a horrible thing."

„What's that supposed to mean?"

„Well, you clearly assume that anyone who's done such a terrible thing can't be one of you. And since I have done actually worse that discludes me from your people, right?"

Mary-Margaret was shocked that she actually said that. „No... Ruby, you never did anything like this."

„Frankenstein tried to bring back life! He wanted to do good, he wanted to help people! Me? I ate Peter! I took lifes as a Wolf, when he tried to save them! And ironically he's the outsider in this town!" She didn't see it until now; what he said about the citizens of Storybrooke and himself... he was right.

„Ruby no one blames you. You didn't mean to kill anyone."

„But I have. And for what it's worth... if I'd known Whale, or Frankenstein, as Red... I may not have even killed. Ever."

„Why on earth would you think that?" David asked, who seemed to have managed to catch up.

She hesitated. Telling them about last night was the one thing she didn't feel like sharing... right? It was so weird. When she fell asleep the was so scared of what might happen when she told anyone. And now? She felt secure enough to do so. This was why she said: „Because last night I turned into the wolf again."

„But... it wasn't a fullmoon." Mary-Margaret was confused and Ruby could blame her.

„I know. But believe me when I say that I turned. I actually haven't felt good for the past days, I guess those were the signs. I should have realized that something was wrong. And when I turned last night... I killed someone. The Stranger, who ran Hook over." Because they'd had so many strangers in town... specifying wasn't exactly necessary.

Before Mary-Margaret or David could say anything Ruby continued: „I was devastated and going to cross the town-line... but Whale found me. He took care of me, he helped me, because that's what he does! He's a good person, whether you want to see it or not! Not only did he take a blood sample from me, to analyze it and find out what's wrong with me... he also figured out that I turned when I was extremly emotional. And he was able to calm me down. I didn't turn again for the rest of the night and I feel much better today. Thanks to him. - So maybe you should give him some credit. Without him I wouldn't be here today. Literally."

Ruby wasn't sure what shocked them more... the fact that she had killed again, or that Whale was good person. Mary-Margaret stepped up after a while, with tears in her eyes, and hugged her, saying „I'm so sorry..." Ruby believed her, which was why she hugged her back.

After they parted David said: „First of all... what happened wasn't your fault, I think we can all agree on that." Ruby didn't but didn't say anything either. „Someone is obviously manipulating you to turn into the wolf so you would kill."

„And we already know how that is right?" Mary-Margaret blend in. „There are only two options here – Regina or Cora. Or Both of them for that matter. The last time everyone thought you killed someone they were about to burn you. And now that you actually have... Regina has always been out to hurt me and have the town kill my best friend, whom she made lose control, sounds just like her."

„For what it's worth, she lost one fight... I know how to control it now. Whenever I feel my emotions getting out of hand I focus on calming down and I'm fine."

„And we believe you." David assured her. „But my guess is... the rest of the town won't."

„But they have to if Whale can proof it, right? When he has the results of your blood test and someone has manipulated it... not everyone here trusts magic. But they will trust scienfitic facts and while everyone thinks Whale's a pervert jerk... no one doubts that he's a good doctor. If he says you're going to be fine... they will believe it."

Ruby smiled. „Look who's coming around." Obviously her little speech had been effective, they believed her, that Whale was good guy. Or at least they were trying to very hard and that meant a lot to Ruby as well.

„Well, you didn't really give me much of a choice." Mary-Margaret gave her a light smile. „Hey, Whale said he was going to the hospital to check on your blood, right? Maybe we should go there, too. We need to solve this as quickly as possible, because eventually people are going to notice that Greg is missing." Ruby couldn't shake the feeling that Mary-Margaret was still distrustful of Whale and the only reason she wanted to go the hospital right away - was to beat him to it.

I know: Our favourite doctor has been MIA this time. I'm sorry but Ruby needed to have this talk alone with them. It felt better this way. I hope you liked the chapter anyway! Please let me know!

Until next week, dearies :)
