Focus on other things, all the other things. Anything Ruby could think of to do in her now ridiculous amount of spare time she took up to do. She needed to, figured she'd have gone mad months back otherwise, and even with it all, sometimes...
She'd gone through the places in town that might have been looking for a boost of magical protection, now that Cas was letting her use magic again just not for whatever personal reasons she might have once had and now that she was in the shop she'd turned her mind and her magic toward protection. The magic she'd put on the Winchester house, with John's permission and even thanks, she throught wryly, was still holding. Still keeping out the vampires and demons, the rest she couldn't do a lot to stop but the family had their own methods, she knew that all too well. But now she needed to focus on why she was going where she was.
She turned the corner toward the LAWC and quickly headed up the steps, it would be a quick visit, talk to Cathy, explain no, she wasn't evil, she was legitimatly offering, they could check with Cas if they didn't believe her, they could have Anya or Lavender do something instead if they weren't comfortable with her, the usual stuff that she so hated but understood all the same.
It wasn't till she got closer that she knew something was wrong.
Just inside the door, signs of a struggle, of fighting, plants spilled from cracked pots, tables knocked over, a weapon, a blade lying not far from...a girl...bleeding, she was bleeding and its scent was...
Ruby made herself focus on the facts. She was bleeding, the girl on the floor that Ruby remembered was called Clary. And there was no sign of Cathy McDonald.
One of those times where a hex bag might actually have been legitimatly useful even just as smelling salts, she knocked the table away with a wave of power from her hand and knelt beside the girl examining her. It was a bad cut but she didn't think life threatening, and she would try to wake her and if not she would call to Cas to come and help. She shook the girl just slightly, gently hand at her head in case she was in shock or anything when she woke.
"Clary..." she called softly "Clary can you hear me?"
