She staggered into the casino, blood dripping down her neck and arms, her legs scraped and cut all to hell and her clothes in tatters. The casino was closed by the time she arrived and everyone was just finishing up with closing their stations down.
Chips and wheezy saw her first as she limped across the cold marble floor and they quickly exchanged a look. "Ruby!?" They called as they hurried up to her, making dice look up from his papers and he too rushed out.
The three men surrounded her and started trying to have her tell them what happened but she kept her gaze on the floor, a numb look in her eye as she stood there holding her sore side, just listening to her friends bombard her with questions about why she was in such a state.
That is until the men were silenced by the oh so fimiliar voice, "what's going on up here?" The devil asked, standing at the hall entrance, his arms folded across his chest, annoyed by his lackeys making so much damn noise.
The men glanced down at ruby before stepping out of the way and letting Lucifer see her in her state and his eyes widened, his aloof and angry boss like deminor gone in an instant as he started to close the distance between them and he reached out to take her face in his hands but she grabbed his wrist and glared at him, quiet for a moment before finally whispering, "dont...fucking... touch me."
His eyes grew even wider and he blinked in shock. "Ruby i... what happened?" He asked, utterly confused.
She quickly looked away from his gaze, unable to look him in the eyes as she hurt him, even just that much. She let go of his wrist and started to walk past him and her friends. "I don't wanna talk about it. Leave me alone." She said angrily. And she was angry. She was angry at her father for making her do this to the people she loved so much.. the people who loved her so much.

She showered and dressed her wounds. Having left the devil and her friends on the main floor and retreated to her room. She stood before the mirror in her bathroom and looked at her bruised body as tears fell down her face. Not from pain. The pain she could handle. No. They were from the way her heart was breaking at the thought of what she was going to have to do next and the knowledge there would never be an opportunity to say she was sorry.

The next morning she waited for the devil to make his way out into the casino for his rounds with his employees and she slipped into his office where dice was doing some paperwork sorting for him and she cleared her throat.
Dice turned to look at her and he smiled, "glad to see you're ok ruby. Boss is out on the floor. He'll be back in a few minutes if you wanna help me with this." He said, gesturing to the papers.
She hugged herself as she walked over to him, "actually dice I need your help with something..." She said, her eyes on the floor.
He turned to her and smirked, putting a hand on his hip. "The lady of Ruby hearts needs help with something? Didn't know it was snowing down in hell." He teased.
She chuckled sadly. God she loved her friend... and now she was going to hurt him... "dice... I'm sorry." She said as she looked up into his eyes, her own glowing bright red and his went wide and before he could say anything his slowly turned red as well and his shoulders drooped, the papers in his hands fell to the floor.

She bit her lip and sighed. "I'm sorry my friend... I only hope you can forgive me." She said as she turned and pulled a letter from her bra and the newly hypnotized dice followed at her heals as she slipped into the bedroom off the office and laid it on the bed before she moved back out to the office and looked at the clock. He should be there any...
She could hear his shoes clicking down the hall and she bit her lip, opening dices shirt and throwing his coat off to the side on the floor. She pulled her own blouse down over her shoulders and made herself look like a worked over mess and she sat up on the desk and pulled dice into her embrace and just as she heard the door opening she grimaced and pulled dice in for a kiss, her arms around his neck and her leg hooked up over his hip as hypnotized dice held her waist in his grip.

The devil stared in shock at the scene before him. It was like his worst nightmare came to life... He rubbed his eyes and tried to wake himself up. Surely he was dreaming...
No.. no he wasn't.
Ruby broke the kiss and smiled evilly at the devil. "Whoops. Guess I got caught..." She said, her tone amused and playful.
Dice moved off to the side, clearly still hypnotized.
"What...the fuck ruby?" The devil managed to choke out as she crossed her legs, sitting on his desk like she normally would.
"What's it look like fur ball? I'm having some sinful fun. Isn't that what being a demon is all about?" She said with a shrug.
"Fur ball? Sinful fun... Ruby youre...you're joking right this has to be a joke?" He stammered out, unable to believe for a second she would do this.
Ruby felt her hand burning, the rune trying to make her stop lying but she just grit her teeth and slipped off the desk.
"Oooh poor Lucifer. Are you gonna cry? Did I offend your delicate little heart?" She spat at him, her own heart aching in her chest as she watched his face contort with pain.
"Why?" He whispered, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Isn't it obvious? You're not enough for me now. I don't want you anymore." She said as she started to circle him, her heals clicking against the hardwood.
He snarled after a long time of quiet and he turned to glare at her. "If you don't wanna fucking be here then fucking leave! I don't fucking need you! I never needed you!" He roared, the walls shaking and normally she would have flinched or yelped but she had to stand her ground. She had to finish this.
"Oh now see I would except I cant..." She said, avoiding his gaze, waving her hand, "we made a deal remember? I owe you my soul for finding my parents don't I? Shame. Guess I'll just have to have my fun within your ear shot..." She said, shrugging and he snarled, snapping his fingers and the contract she had sighed appeared in the air before her and burned into nothing but ash.
"Now get out." He snarled and she barked a laugh.
"Gladly!" She said before she headed for the door but as she got further down the hall her steps began to stagger and she fell against the wall and slipped to her knees and began to cry softly.

She released dice from his state as she left the property an hour later, having gathered herself enough to leave and dice fell unconscious on one of the couches in the devils office.
