Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] ficlets100. September 26.

She can taste it. Coppery. Thick. Real.

It's not a dream this time. It's not in her head.

She can actually taste the texture of her own blood.

She can feel it fill her mouth; she can feel it bathe her teeth in red.

It's not a dream this time. It's really happening.

She should be in pain, she should be miserable, but it's real.

It's her blood. She is bleeding. Not somebody she only knows in dreams.

It's real and for once, she doesn't have to wonder whose blood it is she tastes.

She knows the answer.

It's hers.
