A/N Hey everyone! Sorry this took me a bit... I'm still on the fence with if this is going to be one shots or not so yeah... let me know your thoughts! :)

I awoke with a start as I felt the bed protest under someone's weight. I rolled over preparing myself to attack. As I rolled over and took in the figure before me my heart stopped. The sun was framing her body and she stared at me in confusion. "What's wrong Derek? You look like you've seen a ghost." She said in her perfect voice. "Rebekah?" I asked in a whisper. "Of course it's me silly who else would it be." She said flashing me a smile. "It can't be… You're… you're… you were killed… I buried you two days ago…" I stammered. "Derek I'm right here… I didn't die you saved me my love." She said scooting closer to me and reaching out to touch my face. I quickly pushed myself to the edge of the bed to get away from her. She wasn't real. I know she's not. She died two days ago and we buried her. "Why do you shy away from me Derek?" She asked scooting closer to me. "You're… You're not real…" I stammered trying to get away from her. In my rush to get away I fell off of the bed. I laid there for a long moment arguing with myself. I know Rebekah is dead… I held her in my arms as the light left her eyes and she faded away from me… I could feel my heart racing in my chest. In my heart I wanted to believe she was alive and sitting on our bed. I wanted nothing more than to hold her in my arms again and tell her how much I love her.

Rebekah peek over the edge of the bed and smiled down at me. Her honey hair fell around us like a silk curtain and her blue eyes searched mine for a moment. "Quite acting like a silly pup and get back up here." She ordered with a smirk as she reached out to touch my face. I tried to escape her but I was too slow. Her delicate fingers made their way up my neck and then she caressed my face. My body shivered from the contact and soon all my protests and arguments died. None of it mattered Rebekah was here in front of me. I quickly got back up on the bed and pulled my mate to my chest. I savored her sweet scent as she cuddled up against my body. I felt tears start to sting my eyes as happiness filled me.

"Derek why are you crying?" She asked with a worried look as she looked up at me. She reached up and brushed away a tear that had escaped. "I just love you Beks… I always have and always will." I said softly. She looked up at me and flashed me a dazzling smile. "I love you too Derek." She said wrapping her arms around me and pulling me closer to her. I wrapped my arms around her and smiled. For the first time in two days I felt whole and complete. My mate was with me and I'll never let her go again.

I kissed the top of her head and smiled contently. "So how was your day?" I asked looking down at my girl. "It was boring… Laura was being really lame today… but she's asleep so I snuck out to see you." She said smiling up at me. My body tensed up at her words. "Beks Laura is dead." I said softly. "No she isn't we've been hanging out the last couple days… she's the reason I haven't been home… she kept telling me I could see you so I snuck away after she fell asleep…" Beks said looking up at me with a confuse look. "She can't be dead Derek… I've spent the last two days with her… She's really happy you finally opened your eyes." "Rebekah my sister has been dead for almost a year… That's the whole reason I came back to Beacon Hills… Peter killed her to become the Alpha and then I killed him…" I explained as worry lines creased my mate's forehead.

"Wait… if she's dead then what am I?" She asked looking up at me with tears in her eyes. My whole body sagged as he question rang through my thoughts. "Beks… you're…" I started but she interrupted me. "I can't be dead you saved me! You save me Derek… I know you did…" She stammered as her panic began to slip into her voice. "Rebekah please calm down…" "You save me didn't you?" She pleaded as her tears began to trail down her cheeks. "I remember you saving me…" She said almost to herself. I took a deep breath and tried to fight off my own tears. "I found you and saved you, but then Gerard snuck up and ran you through with his sword…" I answered in barely a whisper. She buried her face in my chest and sobbed. "I can't be dead! I just can't be…" She sobbed as I laid there helplessly running my fingers through her hair. She looked up at me and took my face in both hands. "If I were dead I couldn't do this." She said with determination in her eyes.

She leaned down so her lips were only inches from my own. I could literally taste the salt from her tears as they rolled down her cheeks. "I love you Derek." Rebekah whispered. "I love you too." I said just as softly as her lips came closer to mine. Just as our lips were about to touch I awoke with a start. I bolted up right and tried to control my ragged breathing. It was just a dream… Rebekah was dead… I held her in my arms as she took her last breath…

I pulled on a pair of jeans and then snuck out to the backyard. The sun was just starting to rise as I sat down in front of my mate's grave. I felt my tears falling before I even sat down. There were a few moments of silence and then I heard footsteps coming towards me. "Having bad dreams?" Peter asked studying me. I could only shake my head. Peter carefully sat down next to me and put an arm around my shoulder. "I dreamt of her… Is it possible that she doesn't know she's dead?" I asked looking at my uncle. "Maybe… Your love for each other might be keeping her here…" Peter said
