Ruby shivered in the cold air of the dark room, but she could feel sweat rolling off of her body. The doctor had left long ago, being done with her for the day. So now she was alone in the quiet, her throat was raw from hours of singing and screaming. Her eyes burned she didn't have any tears left to cry, her body was intact, but he had removed her arms, legs, hands, feet, and cut into her she could still feel the ghost of pain drifting over her body.

"Someone help me..." she whispered to the darkness around her, her voice cracked and breaking.

"No one's coming to help you." that familure voice said from the darkness. Ruby looked up she could see Samuel standing there. She let her head fall back down.

"It's you again." she mumbled.

"You don't seem happy to see me." Samuel stated walking around her.

"Seeing you means i'm losing my mind." she said closing her eyes, she wanted to go to sleep. He chuckled slightly, she could hear him walking around. Picking stuff up and looking at it. "You've got it wrong." he told her.

"What do you mean?" she asked confused.

"Your seeing me because your brain is trying to stay attached to reality. It's when you look for me and i'm not their is when you've lost your mind." He explained to her.

"That makes no sense." Ruby grumbled as she started to feel herself fall asleep

"Let me ask you something...what do you want?"

Ruby's eyes snapped open as pain burned at her thigh. She screamed and thrashed her body but the chains held her in place, the manacles biting into her skin.

"Oh good your awake now." Dr. Bob said happily as he removed her ankle bringing forth another gutteral scream and he backed away holding her leg.

"I hope we have more of break through in this sesion." he stated running his hands over her skin. Nausea rose in her stomach and she kicked out with the leg he was holding and her ankle jabbed into his crotch.

"Dolly that wasn't very nice." he tisked. "that would have hurt if i hadn't have removed those long ago, why do you think i haven't done other things."

"Your sick." Ruby snapped as he placed her leg bac onto the rest o her thigh and ankle making the pain vanish. The doctor nodded and shrugged as he stood up. "Yeah but enough about me lets talk about you."

He leaned in close, she could feel his breath, hot and moist against her skin making her flesh crawl. "What do you want?" he asked.

Ruby squeezed her eyes closed, if she answered wrong he'd do something horrible to her.

"I want to go home." she said quickly.

"Uh huh." he said nodding to himself. She slowly opened her eyes wondering if she had answered correctly.

"Nope." Dr. Bob chuckled. "Now sing for me!" he shouted an evil gleam entering his eyes. She opened her mouth and started to sing.

"One life is not a long time when you're waiting for a small sign."

her voice was cracked and wavering as the doctor placed his finger over her heart and slowly pulled down wards splitting the skin. She screamed the next line.

"Patience is hard to find shadows seem to fill your life!"

Tears spilt down her face as he made a horizontal line over and under the first incision making a capital I on her skin.

"Don't be disappointed. Don't let your heart break. Don't spend another minute in this way. It's okay!"

he peeled the skin apart showing her rib cage, he was so close he could hear her heart beat hammering behind the bone, and he began to cut through them drawing another scream from her.

"Dry your eyes now, baby broken wings won't hold you down You'll take flight soon baby you'll be lifted up and you'll be there."

he gently grabbed her heart making Ruby gasp. The feeling of having your heart held couldn't be described, only felt. He cut away the aterys holding it and pulled it out.

"Look at how beautiful it is." he said holding up for Ruby to see. Her mouth opened to scream but no sound came out. This couldn't be happening it had to be a nightmare.

"Here, i'll let you hold it." he said pulling the pin from the manacle and let her arm fall free. She was to spent from the pain to hold it up on her own. So he grabbed her hand and placed her heart in it.

She stared at it beating in her own hand. She was looking at what was filled with all her panic and fear. 'I could crush it, it'll all be over.' The thought popped in her head.

"You could end all this now if you crushed that." Dr. Bob said voicing her thoughts. "But, think about that girl you like. Whatsher name, Blake. And that wonderful Captian gold. And your sister Yang." he said with a grin.

Ruby glared at him furious. He knew who her sister was. "There we go." He said grabbing her heart. "I think your getting close to the right answer. Lets have one more thing this sesion."

Ruby hung alone in the dark staring emptily out into it. Dr. Bob was gone now. He had pulled her apart leaving bits and pieces of her all around the room. Interestingly enough halfway though the pain had vanished along with her screaming and the tears. It was like a switch being thrown in her head.

she knew the answer to his question now. It was quiet now so quiet. She slowly twisted and flexed every joint in her body starting with her toes until they all popped. She felt better now. So much better. She looked around searching for samuel, he should be showing up soon. But he never did. She shrugged and closed her eyes. Leting sleep take her.

The door opened and she opened her eyes watching Dr. Bob walk into the room and stood in front of her.

"Good your up. Lets begin, what do you want?" he asked her.

Ruby stared at him before speaking. "I want to kill you."

He blinked surprised and started to clap. "Congratulations. You figured it out." he said smiling he pulled out a remote and pushed a button before putting it back.

"What's that?" she asked him.

"I was letting Adam know that our time was over." he explained

She stared at him flatly. "What was the point of this?" she questioned him.

"You were afraid to kill because of how it would make you feel, but i don't think you'll have that problem now."

"are you going to let me go?" Ruby asked him. He smiled and nodded once.

"Just know that my sembalce has another part. If you kill me, all the pain i inflicted on you will return ten fold. Call it a way to protect myself." He chuckled.

Ruby nodded. "release me." she stated. He undid the manacles around her ankles then wrists and she dropped to floor landing on her feet. She rubbed the wounds on her wrists.

"Go through that door, some clothes are waiting on you." The doctor said. Ruby's image blurred and rose petals floated in the air around them. Dr. Bob's face contored in confusion. He shouldn't be feeling this pain.

"I told you what i wanted." Ruby said her voice flat and emotionless. Her hands were covered in blood, his blood, in one hand was a bloody scalpel and the other was his heart.

"So pretty." he mummbled and fell to his knees as blood spilt from the hole in his chest and fell over at her feet blood seaped out forming a pool around her feet.

"he lied." she said dropping the scaple and his heart on the floor and walked to the door the doctor pointed out leaving bloody foot prints on the floor. She grabbed a appron hanging by the door and cleaned her hands on it before she opened the door and went it.

It was brightly lit. With a door on the wall to her right and one on her left. In the center of the room was a table with some items on it. Her hood was there with a pile of her clothes. And Creasent Rose

She got dressed and pulled her hood on enjoying the feeling of wearing it, she hadn't realized how much she missed it. She placed Creasent Rose in the sheath on her lower back. And saaw her fake horns. She thought about leaving them. But only Adam knew what she was now, so she put them back on

She noticed a mask on the table it was grim mask but it looked like a human skull. Beside it was a note. She raised her eyebrow and picked up the slip of paper it was covered in elegent wriitng.

"Forgive me for what you've endured. But you needed to learn and be punshed for putting my partner in danger. I'll give you a choice. You can leave this place just walk out the door on the left. No one will come after you or your family. Or you can put on the mask and walk through the right door and join us for real this time."

Signed Adam Tarus

Ruby cruppled the note and tossed it behind her. She had already made up her mind.

Adam stood out side the door waiting, it had been thirty minutes already. He pushed himself off the wall and started to walk away. "I guess she decided to leave." he said to himself. The door behind him opened up and he stoped and turned around. Ruby was walking towards him she was wearing the mask.

A grin stretched across his face. "Glad to see you've joined us."

Ruby stopped beside him and looked up at him.

Adam's eyes narrowed. 'Why do i get this uneasy feeling from her now?' he thought.

"Theres a mess in the room you left me in. Just know, if you try that shit again, i'll do the same to you." she said emotionlessly as she started walking away.

Adam watched as the girl walked away, she was definaly diffrent now. But what did she mean. He walked over to the door to that room and opened it.

"Son of a bitch." he breathed.

Blake lay alone in the ifirmary bed, she stared at the ceiling bored, she had already finished the book she had been reading and that was the only thing that had been keeping her thoughts at bay.

'Did Ruby really kiss me?' she wondered everything that had happened a couple of days ago was fuzzy she couldn't really remember, and speaking of that she hadn't seen Ruby since that day actually no one but doctors had been by to see her.

The door slowly creaked open and Blake turned her head away from it. "Im not hungry so just leave." She grumbled.

"Aww, but i just got here." Ruby pouted. "Ruby!" Blake exclaimed whipping her head around fast enough to agitate her wound making her wince in pain.

"Easy, watch your wound." Ruby warned walking to Blake's bed side and sat in the chair that was still there.

"Where have you been?" Blake hissed. "You've left me here all alone."

"I'm sorry, Adam sent me on a mission." The lie fell off Ruby's lips easily she couldn't let Blake know what had happened to her.

"I was worried that you had left me here alone." Blake said studying the younger girls face, she seemed paler her skin more taunt on her face, and her eyes had changed, something was diffrent now. She felt Ruby's fingers wrap around her hand and lift it.

She blushed as Ruby pressed her lips to the back of her hand. "I will never leave you." Ruby swore.
