We ran to the same spot where I had met Damon. "Hurry, the villagers will be coming any time now!" But I will never see you again! I screamed. I pleaded with Damon to come to the present with me. "I promise, we WILL meet again Idona, we WILL meet again!" I began to cry but Damon calmed me down and quickly dried my tears.

"You must leave, you cannot stay in this realm for too long." He gave me the ring which he said would take me back to the present. As the villagers with their flames began to emerge from the beyond the road and head towards our spot; I knew that I didn't had much time. 

I won't ever forget you Count Damon Salvatore! With that I took the magic ring and placed it on my finger and wished to be returned to the present.

I awoken to see that it was 11:45PM and that I was back in my bedroom which I shared with Margaret. I got up from off the floor and looked around the bedroom. The book was no longer on the bed, nor was it about historical romance and horror. Instead it was a regular romance novel of about pirates and mermaids. I checked my clothes and they weren't of late 1800s anymore either.

Nothing appeared to have been different.It all appeared to be ordinary, unfortunately. BUT, the only thing that was different was that I now had the ring on my finger. THAT must mean something happened! But then again maybe I was just keeping my hopes up for nothing. But how would I explain the ring?

I gazed at the beautiful ring I wore and wondered if all that I dreamed of was just that, a dream.

I heard the front door open and Margaret coming in. "Idona, are you up?" I told her that I was. "Hope you weren't too bored while I was gone, but who am I kidding." She always could put me in a good mood, especially now. "Did you read that book I bought recently?" I told her I did. "I thought you weren't into romance novels about pirates and mermaids though?" I told her I didn't mind the type of characters.

Hearing her clarify what the book was about further convince me that I had been dreaming.

Margaret seemed to have had something in her hands from the russling sounds. "Say, you want something to eat?"


I went downstairs to try and take my mind off of what I thought had happen hadn't happen. Margaret had appeared to have purchased groceries tonight while out. I helped her backed half of them away. 

"Idona did you ever introduce you to my cousin Damon?" I turned around and saw that the cousin Margaret was speaking of was a man who had dark hair, icy blue eyes,  gracefully high cheekbones, and was sensual. 

Is it you? I whispered

Is it you? I whispered. His simple and mischievous smile said enough.  I smiled a secret smile with him which he too exchanged.

"Say cousin, is it okay if we dance?" Margaret screamed a gleeful yes which made Damon and I laugh. We all went into the living room and started to listen to some party music. Margaret being the center of attention as always. As the music became more somber and mellow; plus with Margaret dozing off on the couch. Damon and I knew it was our alone time. 

Damon kissed my hand and dance with me. As we danced I couldn't stop thinking about how he was really here, in my World. "I love you Count Damon." He lift up her chin and gazed into her eyes. "As I of you my beauty." I drew back my hair and allowed him exposure to her neck.   

He knew he found the love of his life, I, his vampire queen.
