Mercury wouldn't just leave her there.

If Ruby does not escape, she's going with Mercury, dead or alive. Well... comatose or alive, at least. We know she's not gonna die, since she's the main character. But you get what I mean.

If Merc left her there, people would know that something is up. It would be obvious evidence of her being viciously attacked. And what if she wakes up?

No, I don't expect the son of an assassin to make a mistake like leaving behind his victim.
