Finally. It was time.
Haley had been dying to see her Mother once again and she at last had a chance.
Hopefully she can leave without anyone to notice…
She was preparing to leave from another visit to her kingdom when Mysterion walked into her bedroom.
"Going home?" He asked.
"Yeah," She said. "But as always i'll be back."
Mysterion walked over to her and held her in a hug, one arm going around her back and one hand going onto her head.
"Remember, when you are ready, i'll be there." He whispered in her ear.
"I know my love." Haley said.
Mysterion pulled away and watched as she made the portal.
"I'll be back soon." She said.
All of the other oc's watched from the door as she walked into the portal.
"She's gone ladies. Go back to your posts. NOW!" He ordered.
They all did just that.
Mysterion did the same.
A week and a half later.
A week. She had been gone for a week.
"Where are you my love…" He mused as he stared at a picture of him and her.
But it hit him.
He could enter her dreams when she slept…
He grinned to himself and said, "You have some explaining to do my dear."
That night, he walked into his bedroom and walked to his hanging mirror and began to chant.
"Mirror Mirror in my sight, take me to my beloveds dream tonight." He said.
He saw her in her dream, She was surrounded in darkness. Perfect.
Mysterion climbed through the mirror and entered the dream.
Haley had awakened in pitch blackness. She had no idea why she was there.
"Darling…"
She turned and saw Mysterion holding his arms out.
She smiled and ran to him, he quickly wrapped his arms around her protectively.
"You owe me an explanation. Where have you been?" He growled.
Haley took a moment to think. But figured it wouldn't hurt.
"I've been with my mom."
Mysterion hugged her tighter. "You what?"
"Now relax, i'm safe. She's got a house and she's stable." She said.
Mysterion's hold never wavered.
"I'll be home Friday. I promise." She nuzzled her head on his chest.
She began to feel him petting her. She melted in his arms.
"My sweet girl." He cooed. "You have no idea how worried i was."
"I-I'm sorry.." She uttered.
"Shhhh, Its okay. I'm not mad. I'm here."
She melted into his hold.
One thing mattered to him then.
She was safe now.
