Chapter 1: A Nightmare in a Dream

The sky was clear and the sun shined brightly.

"What are you two silly girls doing?" The curious mother asked.

"We're trying to swing really high!" A young red haired girl said while swinging on a swing.

"Yeah! Come and watch us, Mom!" A blue haired girl said as she swung next to her sister in another swing.

The mother came closer and smiled as she watched both girls swing.

"Don't fall or get hurt." She said.

"We won't." The twin sisters said.

The red haired girl jumped off the swing.

"Be careful, Ruby!" The worried mother said. "Don't you do the same thing Sapphire."

The blue haired girl jumped off the swing, regardless of what her mother said.

"Wow! That was fun!" Sapphire said.

"Oh, what am I going to do with you two?" The mother sighed.

"Love us forever!" Ruby said.

"Yeah, love us forever!" Sapphire said.

"I guess I have no choice. My perfect little girls. Normal as normal can be. Why don't we go inside and eat lunch."

Ruby started running ahead. She noticed that neither her mother nor her sister followed her.

"What's wrong?"

The mother's friendly expression changed into a twisted grimace. "Honestly, Ruby, did you really think we could ever live a normal life?"

The sun faded away and the sky became blood red. Sapphire started to scream in pain. She slowly started growing wolf-like ears and tail. Her fingernails grew to sharp claws and two transmutation circles appeared at the palm of each of her hands. A larger transmutation circle appeared on her chest. She looked at Ruby with fear in her eyes.

Ruby was staring back with the same amount of fear. She looked down at her hands and the same marks appeared. Ruby looked at her mother, who was starting to become insane. She came towards Ruby with a deadly look in her eyes. "It's your fault!"

Ruby opened her eyes. She looked around. It was night and she was in a small hideout in the forest. Her sister, Sapphire, was standing on a branch of the tree they stayed in. Sapphire looked back at Ruby.

"Bad dream?"

"Unfortunately. What are you doing back so early? Did you get bored patrolling the town?"

"Pretty much. It was a quiet night." Sapphire said.

"Looks like we might have to leave here soon and head for another town."

"I guess that's the way it seems. Perhaps our work here is done."

Ruby stood up and stood next to her sister who liked an older version of who she saw in her dream. Sapphire knew that whatever dream Ruby had, it was probably a nightmare. Neither of them have ever had a decent dream. However, there were many nights where they never had a dream. To them, no dream was better than a dream.

Ruby took off her red gloves. She looked at the transmutation circles. They were carved into her skin so deep. Sapphire glanced down and she too took off her blue gloves. Her gloves had holes at the fingertips from her claws. She too had the transmutation circles. However, they were reversed. The circle on Ruby's right palm was on Sapphire's left palm and vise-versa.

"Do you think we should leave?" Sapphire asked.

"I suppose so." Ruby said. She picked up her coat and the small belongings that they had. Sapphire did the same and they stood out of the tree opening. They held each other's palms together, matching the transmutation circles. Their hands glowed and with their right hand they touched the tree. The hole that they stayed in had now been filled in.

"Where do you think we should go now?" Ruby asked.

"I don't know. Wherever the wind takes us, I guess." Sapphire said while putting her gloves back on.

"Do you know what day it is?" Ruby looked down at her hands.

"It's not like I can forget. Today is the day mom died and well… you know the rest."

Ruby sighed. "Yeah… Well, we better go."

The two girls traveled elsewhere to a place that probably needed their help.
