Ruby

She opened her eyes and saw a large foot that seemed to be from a beast-like creature in front of her. She wasn't sure as there was something covering her other eye. It was red and when touched she knew what that substance was.

'Blood? How? ' She thought.

She was still processing what was happening. She knew that she was dead. A truck crushed her fragile body into a pole. Then she remembered the event that had happened. She cursed her friend silently as she remembered how she lost in the game and died in the process.

She heard screams from above the bed and when she looked at floor beside her, there was more blood.

"Gahahahahaha. Seems like the last of 'em. Puny humans. No one should get in the way of our merciful Lord, the Werewolf King. If they surrendered quietly, then they could have had a better death. " A rough voice said to his companion.

"Are you sure? There seems to be an odd smell in this room but I can't tell where it is. " Another voice said. It was rough and hoarse like the other voice.

"Heh, you're thinking to much. I guess killing prey is getting to your head. Snap out of it. You know what happened to the one who went crazy. "

"Alright, alright. No need to report this to them."

Their voices grew faint as they dragged the corpses out. Ashen knew that it was alright for her to move out. She wiped the blood off her face and brushed the dust off her skirt. When she could see a bit better now, she saw a body length mirror beside the bed.

In front of the mirror, she saw a small girl with blonde golden-like hair that reached her shoulders. Her eyes were aquamarine in color. On her right eye was an old wound that had opened up again. She was wearing a red short skirt, a white shirt with frills, a black undercorset and black boots with a red diamond pattern that reached her knees.

"Ruby? What? How?? " She asked herself as she suddenly held her head as it hurt badly when a flash of memories came.

The memories was like the story of the hero 'Ruby' in the game she played before she died.

"I'm Ruby now? But, how? Well it doesn't matter for now. I need to avenge her grandparents. Those wolves," she said in anger as she took the scythe behind the mirror and wore the red cape and red eyepatch she found behind the door.

"Don't worry Ruby, I will avenge everyone you've loved and lost. Werewolves. I'm coming for you. " Ashen said as she went out. With the scythe in her hands, she was ready for war.

She put on her hood and dashed towards the enemies.

The wolves were caught by surprise as they thought they killed the last of the villagers. She reached for the neck with her scythe and with a pull, came off the wolf's head. The other one backed up a few steps.

"Heh, I guess he was right. I can't believe that he died because of a little girl. The others would laugh because of this. Well, give me a good fight 'lil girl," the werewolf said as he positioned himself for the fight.

"Well, you'll be surprised if I said that I wash my hook with blood. So be ready, Beast. " Ruby said as she clenched her scythe.

The werewolf dashed straight at her with his long and sharp claws ready to rip her head. Ruby was able to avoid this by defending using her scythe. She used an ounce her strength to push the werewolf backward before she swung her scythe in a circle like motion. This injured the werewolf and before he was able to retreat, Ruby dashed to where he was. She

proceeded to tear the werewolf's left arm but the beast quickly dodged. He wasn't quick enough to dodge this and was heavily injured by this. He shouldn't have underestimated his opponent. Behind this cute and childish features was a person who knew how to kill. The werewolf soon began to retreat.

She taunted thw werewolf in a very teasing manner before maniacally laughing.

"Leaving so soon? I haven't bathe my scythe in your blood yet. " Ruby said as she used her scythe to grab the escaping werewolf by its neck. She used all of her strength to pull her scythe back. With this, she was able to cut up his head like his dead companion.

"Kidding haha. I wouldn't want my scythe to be ruined by the blood of your kind. " Ruby said before she snapped herself back into reality.

"What? " Ashen was confused unto what has happened.

How was she able to this? Did she transmigrate? No. Did she do this? The more she thought about it the more confused she got.

"Argh. Blast it! I guess I should give them a proper burial for now before I lose myself with these thoughts of mine. " She said as she placed her scythe on the ground before she looked for shovel and a proper place to bury Ruby's granparents.

With the events that had happen just now, she didn't notice that there were people who witnessed all of this from the dark.

One cursed at the sight of this blonde girl.

"They may have destroyed the village but they let someone, a little girl, escape? Tsk, how dare they. I guess when you want a job done, you have to finish it yourself. " He said as he dissapeared into the shadows.

On the other hand, someone praised her. He wanted to help her so badly but she might not be open to what he has become. He was proud that the little girl he once taught grew up well. Sadly, he couldn't tell her this. Not now and maybe never. He looked at the village once more before leaving as he knew that Ruby was capable of defending herself from those who seeked to destroy her.
