I'M NOT DEAD! Sorry about the disappearance. Life getting in the way again. Back at my teaching practical for the term and my internet crashed again. Should be upgrading it by the end of the year but until then it could cause problems often. Thanks for your patience and support. Really motivates me when I read comments saying that you look forward to the next chapters. :) Enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 45
Hospital
Ruby woke up with a groan. She recognisedthe familiar feeling of pain medication and wondered what she did this time to end up in hospital. Was she playing with fireworks again?
"Hello there Ruby. Haven't seen you in a while." An amused voice came from her left.
Ruby cracked open an eye and looked up at the familiar form of Doctor Cecil. The black, haired woman was the only doctor who could deal with her nonsense without tearing her hair out.
The teenager smirked up at her.
"Hey doc. Long time no see."
The doctor rolled her eyes as she checked Ruby's pulse and blood pressure.
"I don't understand how you manage to get into so much trouble." She sighed.
Ruby screwed up her face as she thought back to what happened this time. She felt an ache in her arm as she shifted it.
Her arm...
...
...
...
She was going to kill that rabbit.
Doctor Cecil raised an eyebrow at her murderous expression.
"So… someone else going to end up in the hospital?" she asked as she wrote down some numbers. "A bloody case usually follows that look."
Ruby growled.
"Hell yes! Brat broke my arm!" she yelled indignantly.
Her furious gaze flickered down to her new cast.
"I'm not going to ask." The doctor muttered after a moment of silence. "You're stuck with us overnight for observation and then you can go home if all's fine in the morning."
Ruby groaned loudly.
"Oh come on! I hate overnight visits!" she whined.
Doctor Cecil chuckled. "I know that. That's why they made me tell you since you're less likely to throw something at me."
Ruby stuck her tongue out at the older woman.
"You'll probably sleep off the pain meds and tranquilizer all night anyway." She patted Ruby's shoulder comfortingly.
The teen tried to stifle a yawn, not really wanting to agree with her.
The doctor laughed again before bidding her goodnight and leaving. Ruby glared at the ceiling for a long moment as she fought off sleep. She eventually succumbed though as she imagined all the lovely things she would do to that stupid blue rabbit when she was back.
By the time Doctor Cecil came back for her morning rounds, the nurses were begging her to discharge Ruby. She'd already gone on a wheelchair race down waxed floors, snuck into the x-ray room to get a look at her skeleton (again), kidnapped a patient and locked them in the MRI machine and driven everyone nearby up the walls with her antics.
She grinned widely at the Doctor when she came to check on her. For some reason there was a nurse banging from the inside of the bathroom and yelling while confetti drifted slowly through the air.
Doctor Cecil shook her head and let the poor nurse out before doing her check up.
"Well, to everyone else's relief, you're fit to be discharged." She smiled as Ruby cheered happily.
Her cheer was echoed down through the ward by staff and patients alike.
Ruby grabbed her things and the prescription the doctor wrote out and raced for the doors.
"Be careful Ruby! Don't want to see you here for a while!" she called fondly after the fleeing teen who was dodging around wheelchair bound patients at full speed.
Ruby came storming into the pizzeria, scattering visitors and employees alike.
"RABBIT!" she screamed, swinging her bat rather haphazardly.
"She's medicated… isn't she?" Chica whispered to Freddy fearfully.
The bear nodded silently.
"She can tell us apart from rabbits right?" the chicken asked after a moment.
"I'm purple! Not blue!" Bonnie squeaked in terror when her eyes landed on him.
Ruby paused and cocked her head.
"More lilac bunny boo." She grinned lopsidedly. "I'm going to kill your bad copy now. Bye."
She raced off and Toby's shrill scream soon followed as the bots all distracted the children from the possible homicide happening in the next room.
"I'm. Going. To. Kill. You." Ruby snarled.
A manic, dangerous light danced in her eyes as she stood on his chest, bat pointed at his face. So… now he was fearing for his life a second time in twenty four hours.
He screamed again.
"No murder around the children!" Goldy jumped into the fray and picked Ruby up. "You'll traumatise them! Even though he does deserve it…"
Ruby twisted in her arms and snarled, trying to hit the rabbit scrambling away from her at full speed.
"I'm going to make you WISH that you were dismantled!" she yelled.
He ran away to hide while Goldy worked on calming the irate security guard.
"You can hit him during your shift." The bear compromised.
Ruby paused.
"Fine." She muttered petulantly.
Goldy set her down gently and she sulked. The bear started fussing over her cast once she was settled.
"I'm fine." The teenager mumbled.
They were quiet for a moment.
"Uh… what happened to his chest by the way?" Ruby asked softly.
"Oh, Foxy did that. Remember? He attacked Toby after he hurt you."
Ruby thought back.
"I… vaguely remember something like that…" she murmured. "Was kind of in shock."
"That's understandable." Goldy nodded. "Where are you going?"
Ruby looked back at her with a sharp grin.
"The Cove. Gotta thank Foxy for getting started on him already after all." She said sweetly. "Get some tips on damaged parts I can hit tonight."
She left the room and Goldy shivered. Ruby was still pretty darn terrifying sometimes…
