Ruby says "I will play"

Raven spins the bottle. Ruby eagerly watches as the bottle slows, eventually pointing towards Raven.

“Lucky you. Good ahead, what's your question?" Raven comments.

"What was Summer's last mission?" Ruby asks.

"...she was not sent on a mission. Summer willingly travelled to the Dragon shaped continent in the West by herself to challenge Salem, the master of the Grimm. She believed her precious silver eyes could vanquish Salem for good. I tried to talk her out of it. But she was just so... persuasive... I went with her instead. We fought all the way to Salem's castle against hordes of Grimm. We found Salem bathing in a black pool of ichor. Summer activated her silver eyes. The ichor pool vanished but Salem survived unscathed. I decided to take a more direct approach. I ran up to Salem and cut her head off. Two seconds later, her head reattached itself."

"What?! How?!" Ruby exclaims.

"That is another question. Care to take another spin?" Raven suggests.

Ruby nods her head- Raven spins the bottle again. It points to Raven once more. Raven continues "We were just as shocked as you. Salem told us that immortality was her curse from the old gods."

Ruby has only one more question to ask. The unthinkable question which plagued the back of mind for years. "How did my mom die?" Ruby asks.

Raven spins bottle. This is the make or break question. Ruby's heart pounds while Raven looks at the bottle with dread. She knows if she has to answer the question, it will destroy her emotionally. However, the bottle points to Ruby. The gods must have shown Raven mercy.

"My turn... Do you think I'm sexy?" Raven asks Ruby softly.

Ruby's eyes open in astonishment. What kind of question is that?! Meanwhile, Raven tries her hardest to fight the back tears in her eyes. Raven's self-esteem is already crushed. She might as well ask. What more does she have to lose? The last living remnant of Summer is staring at her in the face. Her undying love for Summer that had attached itself to Ruby the moment they locked eyes.

Raven adds "Answer truthfully." All she wants is a straightforward answer. No, and she will stop futile advances. She already dealt with Summer's ****, she can handle rejection now. Yes, and well... she did not know what she would do if Ruby answered yes.

"Yes..." Ruby answered shyly. A single word heals a decade of wounds. Raven thought she lost her charm after heartbreak, children and years of jaded cynicism. A warm glow spreads through her chest. It could just be the **** but maybe it was something more.

Raven spins the bottle again. By the grace of the gods, it points to Ruby once again. She might be able to escape answering Ruby’s last question. Raven would do anything to avoid digging up that scar. Perhaps she could redirect Ruby’s attention away from the thought of Summer.

For a moment, Raven imagines that she is young again. She leans back and channels her inner sex kitten.

"Do you have an erection?" Raven asks in a deep, smooth voice. The sexual energy she exerts is almost intimidating. Ruby feels a strong pulse shot straight through her groins as Raven glares her up and down.

"Um... I do now..." Ruby answers sheepishly.

Raven hasn't been able to bewitch someone in years. Not like she has tried but still the fact remains. She gets excited at the thought of keeping Ruby under her spell. Raven enters a hot flush. Her nipples harden, peeking through her dress. She spins the bottle again with the hope she can escalate this peculiar predicament. Her lucky streak appears to be up... the bottle points to herself.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" Ruby asks before Raven can muster the strength to answer her previous question.

Initially, Raven is puzzled by her question. Isn't the answer obvious? Or is Ruby trying to confirm if Raven is just playing games with her? And where did all her curiosity over Summer go? Changing the subject may have been more successful than Raven imagined. This could be her chance to swing for gold. Raven has Ruby right where she wants her.

"Yes..." Raven chirps, keeping with the character of a sensual seductress.

Raven spins the bottle again. But this time, she intentionally stops it to point at herself.

"Remember, you can dare me to do anything. What do you want me to do tonight?” Raven adds.

Ruby gulps- her eyes scan across the room as she tries to find her words. Presented before her are two options. Truth or dare. To know the past or explore something new. Ruby can only have one...
