Part 2
Stephanie kept running her fingers through her hair staring at the phone wondering if she should try calling Sabrina. Stephanie clumsily pulled out the piece of paper from her purse with Sabrina's number. She slowly dialed the cell phone number almost hanging up when the ringing started.
"Hello Sabrina McMahon here," Sabrina's voice brought tears to Stephanie's eyes as she tried to blink them away. "Hello is someone there?"
"Sabrina, its Stephanie," Stephanie's voice was barely a whisper. "I'm sorry to bother you."
"Stephanie, it's so good to finally hear your voice," Sabrina was truly happy to hear her little sister's voice. "How are you doing?"
"I'm ok, how about you?" Stephanie sat down in her leather chair.
"I am the same crazy sister," Sabrina laughed relaxing the tense moment. "Stephanie, I know you're not calling to chat. What do you want?"
"The same thing I asked in the email," Stephanie hesitated afraid of making her sister mad. "Sabrina, you need to come home now the family needs you."
"I can't do that right now. I just talked to mom last night. She didn't say anything is wrong. Is this about the WWE?" Sabrina looked out the door of her cottage at the dark castle walls illuminated by the moonlight not wanting to leave till she found the secrets those walls contained.
"Yes, dad is destroying it. The company is losing tons of money everyday," Stephanie huffed into the phone. "Can't you just take a break and come home for a few weeks?"
"Stephanie, please try to understand this. I can't leave here till I find what I need to live my life in peace. Do you know what its like to be haunted by dreams every night?" Sabrina said knowing it was pointless to reason with Stephanie.
"Yes, I do. I have nightmares every night of daddy losing our legacy," Stephanie was trying hard not to raise her voice.
"Stephanie, I'm sure you and Shane can handle it. I'm working on part of our legacy too whether you believe me or not this castle is part of our history. Its not just some crazy dream…"
"Enough Sabrina, its all bullshit. You had a few dreams about a past life as a princess in the medieval times. What is the big deal its just dreams. It's not worth throwing away your life and family here for," Stephanie cut Sabrina off unable to control her temper. "You need to stop living in a childish fantasy and come home. Isn't my problem important to you at all?"
"Other people have problems too not just you. I'll tell you what Stephanie, you want me to come home so bad then come here for a week that's all I ask," Sabrina listened to the silence on the end.
"Fine, I'll catch a flight tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest," Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stephanie, thank you. I hope while you're here we can become close again. You won't understand why I'm doing this till you come here and feel the magic this place holds," Sabrina sighed hating fighting with Stephanie.
"I feel the same way I really do miss you. I was thinking about all the great shopping trips we used to go on," Stephanie laughed.
"You come over here and I will take you on one hell of a shopping trip," Sabrina smiled. "It also is nice to finally meet my brother in law."
"Paul and I separated recently. We are in the middle of getting a divorce. I thought mom would have told you," Stephanie said into the phone.
"I'm sorry to hear that," Sabrina felt sad for her sister. She remembered when Stephanie called her with the news she had married Paul after only dating for two weeks.
"If you don't mind, I'll bring my new boyfriend with me," Stephanie smiled thinking of a week with her new man at a romantic castle.
"You can bring whoever you want. I have plenty of room. Most of the bedrooms in the castle are restored just working on the great hall right now hopefully that will be done by the time you get here," Sabrina looked over at the castle again watching the moonlight gleam off the stained glass windows of the great hall.
"I'll see you soon sis and I'll try to come with an open mind. I hope you're still keeping a journal of your dreams. I would love to read hopefully understand more," Stephanie twisted the cord of the phone around her finger.
"Still keeping one, you're more than welcome to read it. Bye Sis." Sabrina hung up the phone wondering if Stephanie really would have an open mind. Only Shane and her mom truly believed what she said. Especially her mom believed after coming to the site and walking through the parts of the castle that was safe. Linda couldn't stop telling her daughter how she felt she had been there been before. Sabrina was amazed when her mom found her way to chapel without anyone telling her. She had tears in her eyes telling Sabrina she felt like she had spent lots of time there. Shane was the same way once he explored the grounds he knew he had been there before roaming the countryside on horseback. Sabrina promised him the next time he came the stable would be restored and she would have horses for him to ride. Her father was like Stephanie refusing to believe it was possible to remember a past life and believe that ruins of the medieval castle was once theirs even after Sabrina found a old sign in the rubble that said McMahonus.
"It's our family castle now," Sabrina said out loud pulling her sweater around her deciding to go to her favorite place on the castle grounds. Sabrina with the help of Linda had brought the castle from the local town who where more than happy to get rid of it. The townspeople considered it an eye sore. It took Sabrina a year of traveling around Ireland looking at many castles till she finally found it not far from Dublin. She thought it was beautiful from the minute she saw it. Most of the outer walls and buildings had crumbled. The castle walls and interior were in good shape only the great hall and kitchen were in ruins. Sabrina over the last four years had slowly been making it a beauty again trying her best to restore it properly with some modern comforts. She had decided to build a smaller replica of the castle in Maine so she wouldn't have to be away from her family so much. Sabrina raised the money for her two projects by opening two hotels and a restaurant in the nearby town. Her father hated the fact that Sabrina had found a way to make money without his help. The money she got from her share of the WWE she barely bothered with anymore letting it sit in her bank accounts.
Sabrina walked out into the chilly night air loving the peaceful feeling she felt being here. The gentle winds blew her hair away from her face as she wrapped her arms herself. Sabrina would never be truly be at peace till she found the key to her heart the treasure that she buried in a past life that she believed would help her find her true love once again. She found her way to the garden of the castle. The one place she had restored immediately with loads of flowers and ivy just like in her dreams. She had the fountain in the middle of garden with cupid restored adding lights in the bottom to illuminate it at night. Sabrina found the button turning on the light happily smiling as she sat on the edge staring at her reflection wishing like in her dream she would see his handsome face behind her. She closed her eyes seeing the way his wavy brown hair flowed to his shoulder. Sabrina let out a sigh wondering if her father and Stephanie were right maybe she was crazy doing this all because of dreams.
