Nightmares or Visions?

The morning after

   I tell ya, finding out the guy you've fallen so deeply for is a vampire really  takes alot out of  you.  I was totally exhausted.  All I wanted to do was sleep.  I stood up to stretch and let out a yawn.  Sebastian stood and started to walk towards the door then I grabbed his hand.  "Where you goin?"  He turned towards me with a slightly confused look on his face.

   "I thought you'd want to be alone," he says.  "No way!  I need to sleep, yes, but will you please stay?"  I say, hoping I don't sound desperate.  "I just don't think I should be alone," I say.  I grab Sebastian's hand and lead him to the bed. 

  Once we were in bed and I had Sebastian's arms around me I felt safe.  Like nothing or no one could hurt me.  It didn't take long for me to fall asleep with the sound of Sebastian breathing in my ear.  Before tonight I would've never thought we would be sleeping in the same bed but after all that's happened I really wouldn't want it any other way.

    I opened my eyes to a grassy meadow.  It was beautiful but how did I get here.  There were flowers all around me.  Birds were chirping and butterflies were flying all around.  "Nice place.  I couldn't have come up with a better place myself."  I hear the words coming from behind me.  I turn to find my mother standing there with a huge smile on her face.  "How are you Susie?  Is everything alright?"  She asks me.  "I'm okay, where are we?  Are you out of the mental hospital?" I ask, a bit confused.  "No dear, I'm still not strong enough.  But it seems that you are getting stronger.  You see, this time you brought me to you.  This is not my dream Susie, it is yours.  Is there something wrong?  I sense a great deal of worry coming from you."  "I'm fine!  All except for the fact that I just found out that my boyfriend's a vampire.  But you already know that don't you?" I realized I had just shouted at her and instantly felt guilty.  This wasn't her fault.  I didn't know how I had pulled her into my dream or even why.  "You will wake soon dear Susie, is there something you want to ask me?"  "Yes mother.  When we were back at school, Pookie told me that I had a friend that knew you back before I was born.  I know now that the friend she was speaking of was Sebastian.  I need to know that you weren't romantic with him.  You see, I haven't told him yet but I love him with every part of me.  I think I have from the first time I saw him.  Please tell me that you two were never together."  I was embarrassed by how young and needy I sounded.  She smiled a big smile before saying, "No sweet girl, you have nothing to worry about there.  Sebastian and I were only friends.  It was Dimitri that I had an eye for but we were never together either.  Before I could tell him how I felt  about him your father had me locked away.  I'm glad that you've givin your heart to Sebastian.  He is a great man and even though he is a vampire, he will never let any harm come to you.  You should tell him how you feel.  Don't make the same mistake that I made with Dimitri.  Go now sweetie.  I will see you again soon."

  And with that I was back in my room, Sebastian breathing lightly into my hair.  I pulled him closer to me and fell back into a dreamless sleep. 

   I woke up to find Sebastian smiling at me.  I love the way he smiles.  "What are you smiling at?", I say, feeling my cheeks turning red.   "Your quite cute when you sleep", was all he said.  Then he kissed me.  Not a passionate kiss like before but just a sweet little 'I'm glad your mine' type of kiss.  I swear, I never wanted to wake up any other way but in his arms from now on.   

   "Hope your hungry.  My brother has always been a morning person so I'm sure there's already a wide spread of breakfast food on the table."  We both get up and head downstairs where everyone sat at the table eating.  We were greeted with smiles when they noticed that we were holding hands. 

   I told Sebastian that after breakfast I wanted to go for a walk with him.  After we were finished  eating we both went to our rooms to get cleaned up and ready the day.  Of course while I showered Pookie went through a whole list of questions she had been dying to ask since she told Sebastian he could come upstairs last night.  I told her about my dream and how my mother told me that I had brought her into it.  Pookie just smiled and told me that she was excited to see what I would be able to do next.  Since my mother was suppose to be one the 'great ones', Pookie seems to think that I will too.  I'm still not so sure.

  Sebastian met me down stairs and we headed out for some alone time.  He showed me around the estate.  I must say...in the daytime it was quite beautiful, not at all as creepy as the night we came here. 

   I was nervous but I told Sebastian about the dream I had pulled my mother into.  I left out the part where I told her that I love him.  He listened without interrupting for which I was thankful.  When I got finished he asked me how it made me feel to know that he had known my mother since before I was born.  I answered honestly..."I know it should freak me out, and at first it kinda did, but I'm okay with it."  He just smiled and kissed my hand.  We continued walking and talking about everything from our childhoods up till now.  He had some incredible stories.  We talked for what seemed like hours.  On the way back to the house I turned to Sebastian..."Would it be too forward for me to ask you to stay in my room with my again tonight?"  He smiles..."Not at all love.  There's no place I'd rather be!"
