Okay, I deleted this because I want to rename this and use this as my dumping ground for my 100 word (or more, because I suck at keeping to a word count as low as that) ficlets. So here's the first one that you've seen before. They'll at all sorts of order.

She's dreaming when he's bent above her as a child in torn clothes and a dirtied face. Sapphire smiles warily when the child Ruby offers her his hand and which she takes. She's surprised by the strength in his arm when he manages to pull her up. She thinks for a moment how much strength her current Ruby has that he was (predictably) holding back.

This dream Ruby leads her through a field that reminds her of a park. She recognizes it as the same park that The Attack occurred in. She looks at the dream Ruby when he stops suddenly. Sapphire suppresses a shudder when he turns to look at her with a cheerful smile and blood streaming from a freshly opened wound above his eye. He says something she knows but can't hear.

She wakes up in cold sweat and is reminded of why.
