HEY EVERYONE!

My friends at school are yelling at me about not updating fast enough for them.
So I'm going to try to get at least 2 chapters up a week.
But it all depends on how fast the ideas come to me!

ENJOY!

Me and my friends
Well we all agreed…
It's the saddest things,
That we've ever seen
Do yourself a favor,
Be a savior
To yourself
Sleeping beauty

She felt light, yet heavy at the same time. She was laying on something that tickled the skin of her face, hands, and legs, yet she couldn't bring herself to move from this soft spot. Gently opening her eyes, she closed them tightly against the bright sun. Though she didn't understand why she was in the sun, the last thing she remembered was being in her room in front of her window.

Against the protest of her body, she began to sit up so that she could get a good look around. She slowly opened her eyes hoping the sun didn't sting them like the last time. As she opened them she was surprise at the beauty in front of her.

Everything was bright and alive. The grass of the meadow was green and lush, so soft to the touch. The trees so tall she couldn't see the tops. The wild flowers were in full bloom, bright and colorful, filling the air with a wonderful scent. Birds sat on branches of trees, deer stopped eating to look at her, the water of the small pond made a sleepy sound.

She yawned and stretched her arms above her hand. She slowly stood up looking down at the simple white knee length dress she was wearing. It was a bright white, lace, and strapless. Her skin was no longer hard and white, but soft and tan. She smiled at the simple beating her in chest, but soon the smile faded of her face as she thought about what this meant.

Was this her heaven? How did death come to take her? She was immortal, meant to live to the very end of the Earth. She began to walk around looking for answers, any answers on where she was or what was happening to her.

She walked over to the pond and dropped to her knees to look at her reflection. Her hair was long and brown with simple curls, her eyes the same bright brown, but filled with worry. The only thing different about her face was the sudden redness in the cheeks and the darken color.

Sitting back she looked around the wonderful place she just happened to be in, yet she felt so alone. If this was a dream someone should be here with her, Sam or Penny. As this thought crossed her mind she heard footsteps behind her. She spun around to see the one person that gave their life for her.

"SAM!" leaping up she ran into his arms throwing her arms around his neck, letting him pick her 2 feet off the ground and spin around so fast the colors of the meadow mixed together and she could no longer tell what was what.
"My love, its so good to see you after so long." His deep honey smooth voice hadn't changed. She smiled remembering him in all her other dream like worlds.

"OH SAM! I'm sorry I haven't dreamed lately. I've just had a lot on my mind, but I'm here now! Let's get talking, I don't know how much time I have before I wake." She was breathless as he put her down on the ground, but the look on his face wiped the smile off her face and made her remember what she was worried about before.

"Binky I'm afraid we have all the time in world to be together." He meant some different then what she thought he meant, she began to panic, thinking she was really dead, thinking that she had really left the ones she loved behind. "Love! Calm down, your not dead."
"Then why am I here? Why am I a human again?" She clasped his hands into hers, making him look into her eyes.
"Do you not remember anything?" He looked hopeful. Like he needed her to remember, but in a way he knew she wouldn't.
"No."
"Binky. You're a sleeping beauty." He gently touched her cheek with the tips of fingers leaving a fiery trail where his fingers had touched on her skin.
"Sleeping beauty? Like the fairy tale?" She was confused, mostly just scared, still.
"Yes like the fairy tale, but you don't have the mystery man to come wake you up. But your husband, once he comes home to kiss your lips, you shall awake and leave this place."
"Leave you?"
"Yes leave me. But I'm always here, always with you." He had her face between his hands catching the tears that cascaded down her cheeks with his thumbs. "I'll never leave you."

Even if it was wrong, even if she was married, he gently kissed her lips knowing he only had a certain amount of time with his love to kiss her before she was taken away from him by the man that really had her love and her heart.

"I can't read your mind…" She said quietly as they laid on ground, she laying on his chest in ball as he gently ran his fingers through her hair.
"Your human here, you have no powers. You are how you used to be before you turned 12."
"That should horrify me, but it just makes me even more relaxed."

He laughed lightly making her move just a little, she laughed also, but in the back of her mind she couldn't help think of Aya. Her beautiful daughter that she was sure hated her right now, never wanted to see her again, never wanted to fix things between them. She knew it would take years and years to repair the years of neglect she gave to her daughter, to replace the love that she should have given her.

"My love, what is wrong?" Sam whispered into her hair, it sent chills down her spin.
"I'm thinking of Aya, I haven't been the mother I should have been, I pushed her away and neglected her. Then I made sure she could never come home." Silent tears began to make a small circle on Sam's black shirt.
"You can talk to her now if you want, she is dreaming." I sat up quickly and he laughed removing the tears from my cheeks.
"How do you know that?"
"This is her dream world, she comes here. Me and Penny see her all the time, just she doesn't know we are here."
"I HAVE TO FIND HER!"
"She comes in where you did."

She leapt and began to run across the meadow to the very spot where she had woken up. She could see the indent her body left in the tall grass, the perfect shape of her. No one was there now though, it was still empty. She sat under a tree and watched the spot intently. She didn't want to miss anything.

It seemed like she just blinked when Aya came into view, laying on her side just her mother had been. She sat up just as carefully, but a deer approached and her mother heard a crystal laugh from the spot she was sitting. She was wearing a bright green dress that looked just like her mother's. Her hair was tied up in a bun with green leaves sticking out of it making her look more like Tinkerbell more than ever before.

Aya stood up and picked a purple flower and tucked it behind her ear, when she looked up her eyes meet her mothers and she froze. She wasn't sure what she was supposed to do, run to her and hug her, or run the other way. Aya knew that her mother did not have any of the vampire qualities, either did she. She made it that way. Being the adult she wishes she was Aya walked towards her mother.

Binky's hands started to shake as her daughter got closer, she wasn't sure what to do. Aya's face had so many emotions on it that she wasn't sure which she could go by, she was sure her face wasn't that clear either. When Aya was two feet in front of her mother she stopped and stared for a few minutes. Finally Binky couldn't take it anymore and spoke.

"Aya, forgive me for being the mother I have been. Actually I haven't been a mother at all. I let the other's take care of you, left you to your father. I know it was wrong and I wish I could undo it all. You have no idea how much I wish I could do that. Just go back and slap myself for all the neglect I gave towards you." She was breathless, she had spoke all this quickly, stumbling over her words every now and then.
"Mother…"

She couldn't get the rest before she wrapped her arms around her mother and cried into her shoulder. Sam was a couple of feet away watching the scene with a smile on his face. He loved Binky and he knew that there was no way he could keep her here like he wanted too. Denny would find a way back to her, he would find a way to fix her broken self.

Aya and her mother pulled away from each other and went to sit in the middle of a patch of wild flowers. As they talked they made each other crowns out of the flowers, after they were done they placed the crowns on each other's heads and laughed.

"How are you without Quil and Stacie by your side? Do you miss Edward?" Her mother laughed, she knew that Edward and Aya loved each other like brother and sister, but they were always mean to each other.
"Edward and Embry are at the house now, Isabel and Hadrian brought Edward. They told me about you. I miss Stacie a lot." Her voice got quiet and a smile spread across her face when she said Embry's name. Though her mother noticed all these things and the fact that she skipped over her question of Quil.
"And Quil? Do you realize that you love him?" She was braiding the long pieces of grass together while staring at her daughter, her blue eyes so much like Denny's.
"Mom, I've met someone new…" Binky's beating heart froze, she wasn't ready to hear about Aya's relationship with Marcus. "Well he isn't all that new, I've known him all my life, but now he is new to me."
"Is something going on between you and EDWARD?" Her mother said Edward's name with shock. She started thinking about how hurt Stacie was going to be when she found out. But when Aya started laughing and shaking her head, Binky got it. "EMBRY?" She added loudly with even more shock.
"OH MOTHER! He is wonderful! I never knew that he loved me like he does, but he does and I love him! Oh how I love him! My heart just swells when I look at him, he has always been in the back ground never stepping up that I never really noticed the feelings I had for him…"

Binky watched as Aya's cheeks got red with the embarrassment of her love confession. But Binky was nothing but happy for her daughter and how she found the love that sounded so much like what she had with Denny, but remembering that she had two loves. One that could never be and one that was so messed up she didn't know how to fix it.

"Aya there is someone I want you to meet, he is very special and has been watching over you for me without me asking. Maybe I can even find your Aunt Penny somewhere around here."

Without having to call him Sam walked into the patch of wildflowers and sat down next to Binky. Aya knew right away that this was Sam, having read her mother's book she had pictured this was what he would look like and only once when her mother had allowed her into her office she saw Sam's picture sitting right next to one of her father.

"Aya this is Sam. If it wasn't for him, you might not be here…" Aya noticed how her mother looked at Sam with such love it was hard to tell she was married to another man.
"Because he jumped in front of a bullet to save you. I read your book…" Aya smiled slightly before it disappeared. "Right before I…I…" Then she burst in hateful sobs and heavy tears.

Binky reacting quickly grabbed her daughter and hugged her to herself. Sam rubbed soft circles into Aya's back and she found it oddly comforting. Her mother whispered that everything was going to be okay and that she was safe here with them.

" I WAS…S…SO…ST..STUPID!" Aya screamed clutching her mother tightly. Binky squeezed her back and Sam rubbed her back harder, finally taking Aya's hand that was on her mother's shoulder. Aya let him take it off and pull him to her and comfort her like her father would.
"Aya you aren't the stupid one. Marcus once tried to get your mother under his spell, he is very powerful, your weren't stupid, but just looking for something that you hadn't got for awhile. Love and gentle kisses. He can't hurt you anymore, I'm always watching over you. You may not know me, you not like me. But you're mother's daughter and I love you like a daughter I'll never be able to have." Sam said all these things while smoothing her hair down and hugging Aya to his body.

Aya was shocked that this did not make her uncomfortable, being hugged and held by someone she had just met and never heard of until she read her mother's book. But she was glad Sam was there, she was glad she had someone watching over her.

When her tears stopped she pulled away and hugged Sam properly, he returning it like they've known each other for years because in a way they have. Sam had been her dreams since she was little, watching over her making sure she was never hurt in a perfect dream world.

"Is Aunt Penny here? I want to meet her too!" Sam laughed at Aya's sudden cheeriness.
"Yes she is just waited to be called." As soon as he said this a beautiful blonde walked into the wildflower patch holding a basket full of fruit.

Aya eagerly grabbed for the first green apple she could find. She bit down and her mouth filled with the juiciest, sweetest apple she had ever tasted. She smiled and took another large bite as the others laughed and smiled.

Penny looked just like her Aunt Ruby, but human. Her long blonde hair smooth and shiny in the sun, her long tan legs hidden behind a long white dress, her eyes shined with love as she looked at her niece, and her smile was full of pearly white teeth.

"Hello Aya dear." Penny said in a sweet voice, a little scared to be as straight forward as Sam, but Aya took care of that, latching her arms around Penny's neck and hugging her to while holding the apple in her hand.
"You know my mother wasn't joking when she wrote that you looked just like Aunt Ruby and nothing like her!" Aya laughed and threw herself back on the ground patting the spot next to her so that Penny could take the spot.

Her mother smiled at how easy Aya got along with Sam and Penny, but in a way she guessed that Aya always knew that they were watching over her and they were in her dreams. Aya was chatting nonstop, giving no one the chance to answer the questions that she asked.

"I wish you could see Stacie, she looks just like you and Ruby. She sort of has some of her father's looks though too. Her father is like the best, he is funny, easy going, and their wedding pictures were sooooo beautiful. Did you know that Stacie was named in your honor? Because you said that if you had a little girl you would want to name her Stacie." Aya took a pause to grabbed another apple and start on it quickly, before she started up again Penny asked her own question.
"What is her middle name?"
"Helena."
"My middle name…" Penny tears escaped from behind her eyes, she was trying to keep them back. She missed her sister dearly and she only saw her niece Stacie from a far. Always afraid to talk to her in her dreams. She wasn't even sure if Stacie knew about her. "Does she know about me?"
"Of course. Ruby told her everything about you, but for how you died. Stacie always says she wished she could have met you, she thinks you guys would get along wonderfully. She loves pink, probably more than you do!"

Penny laughed lightly, she just wishes she could have been alive for her niece's birth or her sister's wedding. Binky knowing what her older sister was thinking reached over and grabbed her hand. Penny smiled softly at her glad to have the time with her that she did, she knew that she was going to have to let Sam has his time with his forbidden love alone also.

"Sam, how can you love my mom the same if you know she's married and had me?" Aya had always wanted to know this, she also wanted to if Sam hadn't died when that bullet hit him if her mother would have picked him over her father.
"The love I have for you mother comes to no end, it will live on forever." He kissed her mother lightly on the forehead, but no where near the lips. Aya wondered if that would be to much for he or her mother, or even both of them.
"Aya I know you may be wondering what would have happened if Sam never died and I think you need to know the truth, I would have picked Sam. Your father might have still been my best friend or something close to that, but Sam was someone I knew I had to love and had to have." Her mother explained the whole time staring at her hand that was holding Sam's.
"In a way I understand, I love Embry like that I swear I do. I've known him forever, he has always been there for me, even when I didn't see it. Now that I know how he feels about me and how I feel about him, I don't know what I would do without him!"
"Don't let him go Aya, hold on to him forever." Her mother said letting go of Sam and grabbing her daughters hands in her own.

Binky didn't think of herself as a sleeping beauty, even if everyone else thought she was. She knew that Aya might not remember this right away when she woke up, but she would remember it sometime.

Binky also knew it was soon time to let Aya go back, it was almost time for her to wake. Aya knew to because she gazed wishfully at her dream place and back at the 3 people on front of her that she loved dearly and didn't want to leave.

"You must go Aya. You can't stay her past your time." Penny stood up as did Binky and Sam holding hands once again.
"I'll see you guys all tomorrow night! BE HERE OR BE SQUARE!" Aya laughed and hugged each of them.

Then in a blink of an eye, just like she came she was gone. Penny soon left also saying she wanted to give Binky and Sam some time alone some more because Sam had something he needed to tell Binky.

They got out of the patch of wild flowers, that was their spot when Aya was with them, it didn't need to be said, it was just in the air. They walked back to the spot near the pond where they were before Aya had come.

Binky sat on the edge and placed her feet in the water, Sam did the same wrapping his arm around her waist and hummed softly.

"What is it that you needed to tell me Sam?"
"Penny had another vision about Aya's powers." He looked off into the distant and wondered if he should really tell her this, wondered what she would do when she found out. Would she do what he hoped? Or would she tell him she wants to leave things as they are?
"What is it Sam? I thought Aya had her power!"
"She does, she just hasn't discovered it yet."
"SAM TELL ME!"
"Aya has the power to bring back the dead…"

Sleeping beauty…
I want to wake up soon
It's been too long
We're missing you
We'll always be here when you do
I hope your gonna wake up…soon

OH!
