Chapter 15: 015 Ruby's persecuted past
Aleska turned the chair over to her new ruby with a tray of dinner for her.
"Ruby where have you been today?"
"School, of course, where else"
"Ruby you know what I mean"
Ruby remembered she left with lunch with carllo and rice.
"Oh that, I was out with my friends."
"Ruby you gotta watch out for the new guy."
"HMM well"
"Good, don't wander off to see strangers"
This time aleska was really watching ruby, not just disliking ruby for boys.
*****
Ruby's morning came to her school, all the way to her class all the students whispered about her. Ruby passed them uncomfortably. He's getting paranoid and sweating from his childhood trauma.
*Ruby flashback
Growing up, ruby was picked on by her stepmother and maid in her own household. He's often not fed, locked away in a dark room.
"Please, please, please, Mrs. Amanda have mercy on me."
Screaming ruby banged on the dark, dirty underground doors beneath their feet. And some starving rats would wander around her, ruby's freaking out. Until morning the servants return to open the door for ruby, as usual she will be found unconscious from hunger and fear, and this has happened so many times, mistress Amanda will come to Sue them on the east side, and if she doesn't find aleska then she will torture ruby in her place.
One night, ruby was about eight years old. Mistress Amanda came to their zion, and called aleska, her voice echoing through the night in the silent room of mension on the eastern side, shivering ruby shivering in fear lurking in the corner of her bedroom.
Since miss Amanda didn't find aleska, she went to look for ruby in her room, like she always does when she sees ruby Amanda going to grab her wrist and drag her to the basement.
"Tell me where the punk goes, every ruby in Amanda's cellar will ask questions about aleska's whereabouts."
"Mistress I don't know, I've never even seen her face, she'd come home in the middle of the night and leave in the early morning, I'd only see her back on the way home and leave whenever she wanted, she never spoke to me."
"Useless brat"
Amanda would normally leave ruby in the dark, and order that her servants immediately seal ruby's room. It opens the next day.
"Ma 'am please get me out of here, I don't know anything, Mrs."
Ruby sobbed as mistress Amanda left her alone in this dark room. Ruby keeps screaming for release.
A few moments later his screams stopped hearing another scream outside and that was the sound of a servant whom mistress Amanda used to lock herself away. And there were some people fighting some very loud bang of furniture in the evening silence. Pretty soon someone came to the door of ruby's room locked up and opened it.
Ruby who didn't know what was going on was so scared, it's the first time someone opened the door at night.
"Get out."
Orders from the person.
His voice could be heard as still asa boy and his body was not as tall as an adult.
Maybe three years older than her, ruby trying to guess who's been helping her, if she's the little sister Amanda's been looking for?
"Would you rather be inside?"
Hearing aleska talking to him he stopped daydreaming and immediately went out in the footsteps of aleska.
In the dark he looked back at the man who walked in front of him
This back was real sharp, the one he'd see when he went home in the middle of the night and left at dawn.
She walked into ruby's room, and stopped right in front of her door. Ruby was also stopping exactly one step behind her.
"You go in and rest"
Then she left ruby standing stiffly in front of her bedroom door. Tampa explains anything to ruby.
Then ruby looked in the direction she was going it was a room right next to hers, Tampa realized she was starting to walk in the direction of the room.
Ruby paused and looked down at the ground floor hollowed out by the moonlight coming through the glass window, and she saw some people who might have been mistress Amanda's bodyguard lying unconscious or dead there. She ignored it and kept walking one step at a time to aleska's room, ruby slowly opened the door to aleska's room, and she looked inside aleska already lying in a blanket on
Aleska sensed that someone had opened the door to her room without reacting a bit, and then she heard the little footsteps coming towards her, she didn't want to care about them, because she knew it was probably the little sister she was living with. Aleska wanted to see what the little girl was going to do, but Tampa was expected by aleska that the girl didn't want to distract her and whine to her for fear, so she calmly lay down at aleska's side and fell asleep.
To feel the girl's breath so regularly aleska turned around and seemed to want to confirm something, whether the person who had come into her room had just been hallucinating her.
Because he made no sound and his breath was as soft as possible because he was asleep.
Aleska saw a girl sleeping peacefully next to him, actually after confirming that it was ruby, she wanted to kick the girl out, but who knew she wasn't whining and bothering aleska at all, she just slept quietly thinking that it was aleska being unable to throw her out. He would just let him sleep right next to him, and lay down his blanket for him... his body would lie down to sleep.
The next day, ruby wakes up and looks at her side, like no trace of anyone who's ever slept there, she's like she's been dreaming, looking around, but this isn't her room. The room was so cold and strange, ruby had never been in the room before. He immediately got up and walked out of the room, as usual he would find an empty, quiet room where he was the only one alive in it, ah no, there was one older brother aleska.
