Career Swap
Chapter 7 ~ Ruby
She let out another howl of agony, whimpers racking her body.
Why of why had she been stuck with THIS job?!
Of all the available careers, she had of course drawn the short straw…
Another growl tore out of her throat, as she bravely ripped the splinter from her once beautifully manicured finger.

Speaking of hands, another delicate looking dagger of wood had found its way into her finger, she noted miserably. It was times like this she regretted being Mary Margaret's friend. Of course, these situations were usually made up for with ice cream and wine, both of which would be required in copious amounts to coax her from the foul mood this experience was doubtless inducing.
"It'll be done in a couple of days" she muttered, leaving out the silent acknowledgment that only after it was fixed by Marco would it be fit for human habitation.
She glanced at the clock, while pulling another bloodied piece of wood from her flesh, only two more hours she thought, and then off to the rabbit hole to meet Ashley and Mary Margaret.
A/N Sooo, it's been quite a while my lovelies! I've been absent from the wonderful world of fanfiction for months, tragically, but will hopefully be returning soon, until then enjoy this chapter!
