Was it All a Dream or is This Just, a Dream within a Dream?
She could hear birds chirp nosily, telling all that night was gone and that morning had arrived. Her eyes were closed and she could neither force them to open nor force the other parts of her body to move. She was stiff and just her luck, her nose began to itch.
'Great.' she thought sarcastically before she heard footsteps. The sound of a door opening and closing was heard and the footsteps came closer to her. She slowed her breath so the person wouldn't notice she was awake. A cool hand was pressed softly against her forehead and the familiar smell of lilacs wafted to her nose.
'Lilacs? It can't be!' and with that thought her eyes flew open and she sat straight up in bed looking at the startled person staring back at her. Brown eyes met brown as the girl looked at the woman who could have possibly passed for her twins if she was younger.
"Mom?" the girl asked, barely above a whisper. The woman looked at her with tears in her eyes, but they were tears of joy.
"Lena!" the woman said bringing a hand to her mouth, "You're awake. You're finally awake!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lena continued to stare out of the window, rain pounding and rolling down the window. It had been a week. Seven days. Seven days since she awoke to find herself in her old room. Seven days since she awoke to find her mother.
A doctor had come as soon as she awoken. He had told her that she had been in a coma for about six years after an accident she had had and that they had almost lost hope for her ever awakening again. According to the doctor, everything seemed to be fine and soon she would be able to continue her normal life, but what was normal?
Supposedly, she had been in a coma for six years. How would things be normal? What about school? What about her friends? What about her family? How could anything be normal? And what about…what about Neverland? What about the Mist Wolves and Lost Boys? What about Peter? Were they all a dream? A world her mind had made for her to live in while she was in an eternal sleep? Was she ever Yue le Fay?
The confused girl was taken out of her thoughts when she heard a knock at the door. "Come in." she said before turning back to look at the continuing rain, as if it could answer her questions.
"Watcha doing?" her sister's voice said as her eyes were covered by two hands.
"Nothing. Just thinking" Lena sighed as she moved her Anna's hands away from her eyes. She felt the bed sink down and turned around from the window to see her sister staring at her. "What?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You just seem…I don't know, different." Anna shrugged.
"I guess that's what happens when you've been in a coma." Lena sighed as she continued to stare out into the rain. Suddenly, she felt arms wrap around her in a loving hug.
"Don't leave, Lena." Anna whispered softly in her ear, "Stay with us. Don't ever leave again."
"I won't." Lena said returning the hug, "I won't."
Yue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lena walked into the silent kitchen. The moon's pale light shone through the window and she couldn't help but stare at it. Old habits, whether in a dream or not, were hard to let go.
"Looking to the moon for some advice?" a voice asked. Startled, Lena turned around to see her mother leaning against the door's frame wearing a robe over her night gown, her hair tightly braided.
"No, just admiring it." Lena smiled as she walked over towards her mom. She held out her arms and her mother responded by embracing her in a hug. Lena sighed as she breathed in her mother's sweet scent. It always helped to lull her to sleep, but tonight it didn't which confused her, but she ignored it. Her mother let her go and led her over to the kitchen table to sit down.
"What's on your mind?" her mother asked soothingly.
"What makes you think something is wrong?" Lena asked returning her attention back on the full moon. Zenda stared at her daughter before taking her hand in hers. The younger female turned to look at her mother.
"Let's just say that it's a mother intuition." Zenda grinned. Lena sighed.
"I guess, I don't know, everything feels so weird. When I was in the coma, everything was different." Lena began. Her mother nodded urging her to go on. "It was like I was in another world, I was different person." Lena chuckled. "Yue le Fay, to be exact."
"Yue the fae? Moon Fairy?" her mother asked with an amused tone.
"It sounds better then it means." Lena pouted childishly. "Anyway, I had a group of girls who I led called the Mist Wolves and we lived in Neverland with my fairy Mist Bell."
"Oh, did you meet Peter Pan and Tinker Bell too?" her mother asked laughing. Lena lowered her head. Her mother was laughing at her, but it was to be expected. Everything she had said did sound like some childish rubbish. Half the things she had said she barely believed, but her dream…Her dream felt so real. All the sights, smells, feelings, they all felt so real, and yet she knew deep down in her heart, it was just a dream. She was never Yue le Fay. Fairies did not exist. The Mist Wolves weren't real. There was no such place as Neverland. And there definitely wasn't a boy who never grew up. It was just impossible. Everyone grew up. Soon, she knew this dream would only be a far off memory in the back of her head.
It was so easy to forget. So easy to convince yourself that everything that happened wasn't real and that it never happened. It was just dream. Just a dream that would be soon forgotten.
Don't forget.
She was in the real world now. She would grow up, marry, have a family, and then die an old woman. Isn't that what she wanted?
No, you don't.
She was Lena, she thought, daughter of Zenda and Furet. 'Furet?' questioned mentally. 'No my dad's name was Burk, not Furet. Furet was that guy from my dream. Or the dream that I had in my dream.'
Not a dream. This is a dream.
"Lena promise to never leave." Her mother said as she wrapped her arms around her daughter. "Never leave. Stay here, with me and Anna." she said soothingly. "Stay with us forever and forever." Lena felt her eyes lowering as if in a trance. Her mother scent becoming overpowering. "Never leave little moon."
Her mother's peppermint scent wafted to her nose and her eyes immediately shot opened. Peppermint. Her mother smelled like peppermint. Lena took a deep breath making sure what she smelt was true. There was no denying it.
"Get away from me." She growled.
"But honey-"her mother began, but she didn't finish. Lena kicked her in the chest causing Zenda to fall to the ground. Lena curled her fist as she heard Anna run down the steps.
"Mom, Lena! What's going on?" she asked frantic, running over towards her fallen mother.
"Cut the act." Lena spat.
"Lena. Why?" her mother asked tears in her eyes.
"Because," Lena said, "you're not my mother, and this is but a dream."
Her mother and sister stopped crying and then their face became distorted. They and everything else around her seemed to melt away. The ground underneath her feet shook before collapsing underneath her taking her with her.
The night gown she wore disappeared, being replaced with the red dress Hook had given her, caked with dry blood. A sharp pain was felt in her stomach where Hook's hook had been and she could feel Mist Bell's cold body in her hand.
She continued to free fall, not really caring whether she was alive or dead. Blackness surrounded her.
Are you really going to give up so easily?
Lena had tried to ignore the voice she had been hearing ever since she awoken from her "coma", but it was no good, it was always there.
Who are you?
'Who am I? I'm Lena, right?' the girl thought unsure as she continued to fall down the dark abyss.
No. You're Yue le Fay. Princess of the mist. Daughter of wolf, moon, and man.
'Yue le Fay?' she asked herself. Memories were slipping away. She was barely in a state of consciousness.
Yue, listen to me. You can't give up. People are counting on you.
"No one is counting on me. I'm just a burden." she said sadly.
Believe that and you are, but the Yue le Fay I know wouldn't give up easily. Do you think your mother would be proud?
An image of her mother's loving face came to mind.
Do you think the Mist Wolves would be proud?
Jade, Selena, Suki, the twins, and Rina all smiling came to mind.
And what would Peter think if you he saw you like this, an empty shell? He and the others put great faith into you. Are you going to let them down so easily?
"No." the girl said regaining the authority in her voice. "I will fight. I wont let anyone else down." And then she smirked, "I am Yue le Fay after all.
That's my girl.
Black mist with wisps of blue mist began to surround her, blocking her view of the dark abyss. Yue could feel a hard surface beneath her feet as the mist began to clear. She couldn't really say if she was in a room or not. Gray mist surrounded her and she could barely see three feet ahead of her.
"You made it back safe, I see" a voice said from behind her. She spun around, ready to fight if the person proved violent. "No need to be worried, I wont hurt you."
"I'm not worried," Yue said coolly, still not able to see the person behind the mist but knowing that it was definitely male "but I do want to know who you are and where I am."
"Well I think you'll already know who I am" the man said stepping out into the mist to reveal his self.
"Kohaku" Yue growled. The male smiled sadly at her reaction before extending out his arm.
"And to answer your other question," he said frowning, "this is le Royaume de Brume."
Yue's eyes widened slightly as she looked around her self. "The Mist Realm" she whispered
Hey peoples! Sorry it took me so long to update! I'm not really happy with this chapter but I needed to update so...yeah. Sorry if it sucks or is confusing. For those who constantly wonder why it takes me so long to update it's because 1. my computer is being repaired and I wont ger it back for another 2 weeks (yeah that sucks.) 2. I'm using my mom's computer and I have very limited time on it, and 3. I have three other stories on fanfiction that I have to update too, so I try to update my stories by which everone hasn't been updated in a while. So those are my excuses. Love them, hate them, or just ignore them, I don't really care.
Also, for all of you artist out there it would be really great if you could draw Yue or Mist Bell for me (I have no talent in the drawing department). They can be by themselves or with the other characters in the story. You don't have to tell me if your interested, just make sure you send me the web site through your review beacuse I disabled my private messaging for parental reasons. I'll post the websites on my profile so other people can see them. Anyone who does this will have a dedication later on in the story! Thanks!
Anyway, that all I have to say! About 4-5 more chapters till the end. Maybe less! PLEASE REVIEW!!!
