A/N: I haven't updated this for quite a while, don't know when I will, either. Probably prepare for likely inevitable cringefest in some chapters along with grammatical errors. Sort of regret writing this so might take it down one day. Chance I'll run through this mess and edit some time. Working on way too many other WiPs, left the RR fandom a while back. My bad. A Ruby Redfort fanfiction set after Blink and You Die by Lauren Child. The Count is still out there, and time is short to stop him. Kaina has no idea which side she's even supposed to be on, let alone want to. LB's secret has to come out eventually, even if it might finish off Spectrum once and for all. And Lorelei really needs to stop being sentimental.. owing someone, a kid especially, isn't going to help her fulfill her dream of world domination, not when that kid's got problems of their own that Lorelei has to help them with. As the Count gets closer and closer to immortality, Ruby must make a choice: save the boy she loves or save the girl she hates? Turns out the Mars Mushrooms aren't the only thing the Count needs. The only question is, Will Ruby figure out how Kaina can grant him what he wants, before it's too late? Before LB's secret is revealed, before the Count destroys Spectrum from the inside out? You better hope so, buster. A story full of twists, surprises, secrets, murder and of course, heartbreak. Along with trouble. Australian trouble. Highest ranking: #1 in 'rubyredfort' 1.3.19 I own nothing except my ideas for this fanfiction and Kaina. Everything else belongs to Lauren Child.
