A mountain of various jewels and precious metals shot out of the ground and appeared in a heap before Ruby. She collapsed onto her knees in terrible pain from the effort of fighting the magic.
Dorian let out a horrible laugh. "So this is what you were hiding. I would be impressed if I was not so furious with you. You are going t—what on earth is wrong with your skin?!"
Ruby's vision had gone a bit hazy from the pain but she looked down and saw that her glamour had come off. Great. Just what she needed right now on top of everything else. This evil vampire had to go and see her true form.
"Nothing is wrong with it," she said weakly. "And it doesn't always look exactly like this…my appearance changes at random."
The vampire's nose wrinkled and he made the same sort of disgusted face Flint and Lily had when they discovered her secret. "You are repulsive. I did wonder why you would prefer looking like a filthy human but now I understand."
