Stephanie McMahon paced in her office waiting for Shane to arrive. He was late as always. She sat down at her desk staring at the email message on the screen. She read the message aloud trying not to get tears in her eyes.

"Dear Stephanie,

I have read your email about coming home countless times trying to find the words to explain to you what is going on with me. Remember when we were little and mom would read us fairy tales every night. You and I would pretend for hours we were princesses staring out our bedroom window waiting for our knights to come rescue us. What if it wasn't pretend? What if in another lifetime we were princesses? I know it sounds silly but the more I dream and the more I work on my project here I feel it could be a reality.

You keep asking what caused me five years ago to just up and leave everything behind to go to Ireland. You refuse to believe when I keep telling you it was the dreams not my desire to not be part of the McMahon spotlight. I don't know why I started having these dreams. They started the night of my 22nd birthday and have haunted me every night since. Steph, I can't escape them even if I wanted to. You were there the first night I dreamed on my past love. You saw how upset I got because it felt so real. I was in the garden of the castle with him. I could feel and touch him. I believe all these dreams and rebuilding the castle will help me find him again. I can feel him every night I know he is out there somewhere.

I know you don't believe in past lives but I truly do believe for some reason that something that happened back then is going to happen again now. If I don't find the pieces and put the whole story together I will lose my true love again. Steph, I know this all sounds crazy. I wish you would come here like mom and Shane did then you would understand too. I'm sure of it.

I miss you little sister very much. It breaks my heart I can't come home right now. I know whatever your problems are with Dad you will be able to handle them. Please think about coming here the next time you have a break there is so much we need to catch up on.

Love,

Sabrina."

Stephanie sighed staring at the family photos on her desk wondering how her family had grown so far apart. She was about to respond to the email when her office door opened.

"I'm sorry for being late. What was so important that you made me leave my golf game," Shane sank down in a chair in front of her desk.

"This is," Stephanie turned her laptop around for Shane to read the message. Shane scanned the words not surprised at all.

"What is so urgent about this? I told you she would turn you down," Shane leaned back in the chair putting his feet on the edge of her desk.

"Damn it Shane, how can you be so calm," Stephanie slammed the laptop closed. "Daddy is slowly driving this company into the ground and we no longer have any power to stop him, doesn't that bother you?"

"Now your true colors show. You don't care that Sabrina turned down your invitation to come home and be part of our family again. You're upset because her 25 of the WWE isn't coming home," Shane stared at Stephanie his brown eyes wide with anger. "I do give a damn that our sister hasn't been home for almost five years. I miss her like crazy and at least I have gone to Ireland to visit her unlike you."

"I care about Sabrina. I can't help that I don't agree with this search that she has been on. I don't have time to fly overseas," Stephanie pouted crossing her arms.

"No wonder Sabrina doesn't want to come home to this crazy family," Shane started to leave as Stephanie ran grabbing his arm.

"Shane, please help me try to convince Sabrina to come home. We need her especially mom," Stephanie stared into Shane's eyes seeing he was softening.

"Fine, I will call her tonight," Shane pushed Stephanie's hand off his arm. "I'm only calling because I want her home and mom misses her. I could give a damn less if Sabrina helps us."

"Shane once she sees what a mess Dad is Sabrina will help," Stephanie smiled feeling good that she had convinced Shane to help bring back Sabrina.

"Steph, you keep forgetting Sabrina wants nothing to do with the WWE. She won't even watch any of the shows. To her it just doesn't exist," Shane slowly opened the door. "The only reason she keeps her share is because Dad made his lawyers make it impossible for her to sell."

"Shane, just get her here and I will do the rest," Stephanie snapped at him as she picked up the photo of Sabrina off her desk. "Does she still look the same?"

"Of course Steph. Her hair is a darker blonde and longer that's all," Shane laughed hugging her. "You and she have really lost touch in the five years. I think you should concentrate more on fixing your relationship with her than the wrestling business."

"Shane, I just don't understand her," Stephanie slowly sat in the chair staring at her sister's greenish blue eyes in the photo. "She gave up her whole life here to go search for something she will never find. Now she has started that site up in Maine to continue her dreams here."

"Stephanie, she believes she will find it," Shane sighed grabbing the photo from Stephanie. "You might think she is nuts but I think she is incredible giving up her pampered life her to go to Ireland. She has no family there it's just her and the team she has hired to evacuate and restore the ruins of the castle. You should have gone with me last month to see the castle," Shane was silent for a moment remembering walking about the lands overlooking the Irish Sea feeling comfortable like he was home. He spent hours riding around the countryside feeling like he had seen it all before.

"Don't tell me you're falling for that bullshit too like mom has," Stephanie yelled breaking Shane from his thoughts. "Sabrina's nonsense is all based on dreams."

"I don't have time to argue with you," Shane kissed her cheek. "All I can say is Sabrina is on to something and I will never think she is crazy. I can't wait to go back to Ireland."

Stephanie watched Shane leave slamming the door behind him as she huffed for minute hating to hear Shane defend Sabrina's bizarre behavior. Stephanie always thought Sabrina and her would be close. Sabrina was only two years older but to Stephanie it felt like they were lifetimes apart since Sabrina left for Ireland. Stephanie smiled for a minute remembering all good times she had with Sabrina as they grew up together. They were not only sisters but the best of friends till too many nights of haunting dreams made Sabrina completely change leaving her sister and family behind on a quest to find the key that would hopefully lead Sabrina to her true love and her past.
