Red Like Ruby (Mostly RubyxDyrroth)

Ruby Fell Into The Abyss Part 6

"I love you." he said to her contentedly as she watched him sink. 

"Ohhh, but didn't you know? I love someone else." And just like that his world shattered and darkness finally swallowed him whole. 

When he opened his eyes he found himself in a more unfamiliar place. He's inside a wooden cottage filled with gentle homey things like tables, plush chairs, and other furniture all clean and arranged neatly. Sunlight flitted through the window giving the place a good illumination while the smell of flowers and tea lingers in the air. It was peaceful and something he had never before felt. 

He looked around and noticed a familiar tangle of wavy golden hair. He slowly walked towards the living room and saw Ruby reading a book with a gentle smile on her lips. He was astounded when he saw her round belly which her hand caress affectionately every now and then. He figured that she's pregnant. But whose child? His? 

Her attention suddenly turned to him and she smiled affectionately. "Darling, your home. Welcome back." His heart melted at the sight and he approached her to give her lips a kiss. 

"Ruby I—" 

"How have you been, my love?" A deep yet loving voice interrupted him as another male walked towards her from behind him. The man had dark hair with a white streak and dark crimson eyes and he recognized him as one of those Lightborn bastards named Granger. 

Dyrroth's heart broke as the man shared a passionate kiss with his Ruby. The man also stroked her pregnant belly and kissed it affectionately. She looked so happy and in 

love with him, her eyes only reflected absolute contentment and bliss. It almost feels like she's happier without him. 

His attention was captured by the door that suddenly burst open and in came... Himself? He saw another him this one bigger and more mean looking filled with hatred and jealousy. A malevolent dark aura emanated from him and it made Ruby tremble. 

"If you're not going to be mine then no one can have you!!" he saw his other self muster all his power in his hand and activate his Abysm Strike. 

"Wait no! Don't do this." Dyrroth tried saying to himself but it was already too late. The shock and the fear made Ruby bleed making her baby die, soon the violet evil light swallowed them all turning everything into darkness. 

Dyrroth woke up gasping and breathing heavily. Beads of sweat poured from his skin as his mind recreate that terrible nightmare over and over again. He will never hurt her like that... He won't. 

He sighed after a while and slumped against the headboard of their bed. He looked at Ruby's empty spot and grabbed her crimson hood that she had left behind. He carefully placed the cloak against his face, afraid of tearing it even a little bit and sniffed her sweet comforting scent that had lingered in the fabric. 

"Your memory torments me even in my dreams, little girl." 

He breathed out deeply and relaxed in his bed all alone with his solitude and pride. It had been three weeks since he last saw his favorite human and the last time they met wasn't even wonderful. It took him a long phase of denial, wine, and whores before he realized that he greatly missed her. 

It's not like he's much better now. He's still a bit denial about his true feelings towards her and why he's acting like this but he guessed that after spending months waking up and going to bed with her always by his side, he can no longer go back to how he used to be without her. Well, it will be difficult but if he's really going to be separated from her forever then he needs to realize that this is the new normal. He sighed with melancholy.
