chapter 10 people!

that week Regina had met with Archie three times and every time she would just silently sit there, to scared for what she might blur out, but more importantly for what her mother would do if she did.

also the pity her fellow inmates felt for her had begun to disappear and people started to remember that she had killed a child after she had killed the child's father. it wasn't so bad yet, the only thing the women would do was push her out of there way even when she wasn't in their way. but Regina had been scared that one day they made beat her again.

Regina isn't strong, the only thing she can use are her words. she is bitchy as fuck, but that wasn't gonna stop them from beating the shit out of her. all she could do was sit back and wait till the day the prisoners would take their shot.

"hey, Reggie!" Regina turned around and saw Ruby running her way. the prison had a medium sized sports field. there was an asphalt road that had to serve as a runners circuit. and in the middle people could play basketball. it was all very crappy. when someone scored while playing basketball they weren't happy because they scored, they were happy about the fact that the basket didn't drop on their heads while they did it. Regina was running on the asphalt but stopped when she saw Ruby.

"how many times do I have to tell you, Rubes, stop with the nicknames."

"why? I let you call me Rubes."

"yeah, but you allow it."

"yes, but...ow" Regina was interrupted by a ball hitting the side of her head.. she looked around to find the one responsible she saw a group of inmates standing near one of the basketball nets, laughing at Regina. one of them took a few steps towards the brunette and Regina took one step back.

"yo, bitch! gimme back my ball!" she was now getting dangerously close and Regina fought the urge to run. she bowed down to pick up the ball when the women gave her a hard kick in the ribs. Regina fell back from the impact.

"hey ugly!" Ruby dared the enormous woman beast standing befor Regina ready to kick her again.

"I hope you're not talkin' to me red. ya know better than that!"

"damn right, I'm talking to you! now take your little ball with you and run to your laughing hyena's over there and play your little game alright?"

"what? she your girlfriend now? hm ?" she looked at Regina who had stayed on the ground." 'r you her little pet now sweetie?"

that had earned a hard punch in the jaw from Ruby. the women beast's head went back from the packed and the women's hand immediately went to her nose.

"well, if she is that would mean that if you touch one hair on her head I will take that ball and stuff it up your ass until it comes out through your nose! YOU UNDERSTAND!?" "what the hell! you dare.." another punch this time in the stomach.

"now MOVE!" Ruby ordered and the beast almost ran to her friends.

"and don't forget your ballS! ow, wait I mean baLL!" with that she threw they ball their way and reached for Regina to help her up.

"You okay?" she asked when Regina stood on both her feed again.

"yeah sure, I'm fine. Thanks, Rubes," she pulled her friend in a bear hug and wasn't planning on letting go anytime soon.

"no, prob. I know how you hate it when people give you nicknames" she gave Regina a wink and a smile and Regina smiled back.

"well, it seems you're learning. but something tells me you are going to keep on calling me by nicknames aren't you ?"

"why stop now? " Ruby said with another wink. she then turned around and started running again. after a deep breath Regina followed her ignoring the pain in her ribs.

that day during dinner when Ruby and Regina were peacefully eating there... hey it was chicken. yes, finally something that looked like girl with her gang came up to them. Regina was surprised to see that the big woman beast from earlier was part of that gang. she was obviously there to frighten other people since the leader of the gang appeared to be a small, thin, blond woman with an arrogant face.

"excuse me? you are in my... "the blonde began, but before the could even start the big woman whispered something in her ear wich made her stop whatever it was she was about to say and prepared herself to run away, "forgive me Red" she held her head up to appear strong but you could see she was about to pee in her pants.

when they were out of side Regina turned to Ruby. "what was that about?"

"ow, that was abigail. she fucks one of the guards around here. that's how she get's stuff and if not that way then her daddy is really rich so she'll get it anyway."

"them why is she here?"

"even her daddy couldn't save her when she threw that bucket of hot gold over her fiancé's head." Regina's eye's went wide.

"well, technically she let someone else do it for her but still. her fault."

"and what did that monster say to her that almost made her poop in her pants?"

"I don't know I.." she was interrupted by a smack on her shoulder. "well auf!" she wanted to punch the one that had done that but soon stopped herself when she saw Granny standing there with a spoon."what was that for?!"

"for not telling me you had a girlfriend!"

"what are you talking about? I don't have a girlfriend," SMACK "ow Huw! and what was THAT for?!"

"for lying to your own grandma."

"what on earth are you talking about?!"

"ow come on Ruby everyone in this place knows Regina is 'yours' now."

"MINE?" "HERS?!" Regina and Ruby sad at the same time.

"Granny she's not my girlfriend. we just said that so that miss bigfoot

over there wouldn't kick her to death."

"well child, it worked. and you know what, if I were you I would let play along. nobody dares to touch Regina anymore. now if you'll excuse me I'm on kitchen duty."

"aw, I was wondering why the food was better than normal," Regina said taking a bite of the first thing she has eaten in her 2 months her that she could identify as food.

Granny gave her proud smile and then walked away.

"so what ya think?"Ruby asked Regina while taking a bite from her chicken wing.

"the food? well, it's great when you and granny are realized you should start a dinner with her or something."

"no..well thanks.. but I was talking about the whole fake girlfriend idea. it sounds pretty smart. they will leave you alone."

"well... Rubes, it's.. it's a good plan but.. how long will they buy it?"

"Relax, I'll just give you a few kisses her and there and anyone that doubts us relationship I'll just break their noses. come on Regina, I told you if I could tell you what the banana was I would tell you. This is the banana. this is how we can make them quiet. please." she gave Regina a small smile.

"fine we'll try"
