chapter 2: why do bad things only happen to me?

As the room is flooded with cold water, Ruby's body starts to glow and grow in size to the shape of a large salmon with razor jagged teeth popping out of her mouth as well as her distinct red eyes that have no iris or pupils making her eyes fully red giving off the illusion her eyes are made of rubies, once the water consumes her she gasps as water enters her newly formed gills starting her reborn heart.  (Salmon x piranhas)

(Ruby):'cough , cough' " ow, I am never doing that again" Ruby turns around looking for anything still in the white room before swimming thought the crack in the ceiling.

. . . .

. . . .

As Ruby escapes the white room she looks back and sees all along the white room was actually her own egg, after learning this she observes her surrounding, in the surrounding area there is a swarm of goblin-fish the same size as her, once she looks more closely she see the goblin-fish are all pushing each other out of the way to get to the corpse of something that looks like an eel crossed with a bloated puffer-fish, while they are swarming at the corpse they push each other into the protruding spikes, that if Ruby had to guess were secreting poison because the other goblin-fish that were pushed into them stopped swarming before floating slowly to the sand-bed, dead!

with her stomach growling, Ruby swims slowly and shake-fully towards the swarm since this basically her first steps/flicks, in Ruby's mind she just sees the idea that going for a hazard like that when the chance of success is absurd, so Ruby thinks -if I am going to eat something it will be for a better chance of succeeding than that-

after thinking this she looks at the swarm again then the corpses on the sand-bed, with little remorse she swims to the corpses on the sand bed that were her brothers and sisters, readying her jagged teeth before tearing into one of them.

(Ruby):'munch, munch' -this tastes terrible but i have to eat it to survive-

as Ruby finishes the first corpse 2 messages appear in-front of her.

(Ruby): -well nice and oops- as Ruby turns her head to see if the swarm of goblin-fish has no took notice of her action, luckily that has no noticed, so before they can notice Ruby repeat's the action again on another paralyzed goblin-fish for her own survival and with this another window appears again.

(Ruby): -well those are new, I guess but there already known to me but what do these green crosses mean?- 

her thoughts are cut short by one of the goblin-fish from the swarm, trying to tackle her face first, but luckily Ruby sees it coming before it would hit and she evades in the nick of time.

(Ruby): -that was close- she though as she swam away as fast as she could away from the swarm, but this catches the attention of the entire swarm instead alerting them of her presence immediately to them, with little need for thinking the swarm chases after Ruby with all of their mouths open ready to consume her. . . .
