Drew: Please review!

"Tyler!" Stephanie looked up with a tear in her eyes.

"I knew you'd be here." Tyler smirked. "You are soo easy to confuse, Stephanie. You truely are your mother's child." Tyer laughed. Stephanie stood and trying to look strong.

"Do what you want with me? Isn't that what you came here for? To rape me, like you did Misty, or to use me like my mother?"

"Smart child. No not so smart. You know why that wasn't so smart?"

"Why?" Stephanie said.

"No One is here to save you. I can easily hurt you without even thinking."

"I know." Stephanie said as matter-factly. Tyler snickered once more.

"You know I should kill you-"

"Do it. Nothing's stopping you." Stephanie said. 'I have no reason to live, anymore.' she thought. A silent tear fell down her cheek but the dark night sky made it look invisible.

"I want you to live. To feel the pain. All the pain for as long as you live or until I get what I want."

Without a single movement, she was lifted and flames shot at Stephanie. Her eyes closed in pain and her whole body burned as Stephanie's tears of pain heated up and hurt her more.

"Stephanie..." she heard someone scream from the sidelines. She recongized the voice and her body dropped to the floor. Her eyes slowly opened to see Timonthy. She shouted his name. He jumped in front of her and took the pain... for her.

"No... Timmy." she cried loudly.

"Oh so you want to save her. huh?," Tyler was mad her forehead scrunched and the light firey flames turned into a steamy fire. He fell unconicuous. Tyler let him fall. It caused more tears to come from Stephanie's eyes.

"Timmy!!" she screamed. She found enough strength to rush by his side. Her face, she forced against his chest. She tried to wake him up but he didn't move. He was still flaming hot. but she stil cried. "You are evil!!" Stephanie screamed.

"No time for flattery," Tyler smirked and disappeared. Misty was soon outside and seen Stephanie knealing over something.

"Stephanie," Misty rushed to her side. "What happend?" She seen Timonthy laying there.

"Tyler... He... He... Timonthy... he..."

"Shh...It's going to be okay." Misty hugged her and tried to calm her down.

"No it's not!!" Stephaine screamed, "Tyler he... almost killed me... but... Timmy... saved me."

Ash peeked outside following Misty but what he imagined was much worse than he could have though. He ran to them. "Stephanie are you okay? Tell me what happend? Let's get you inside-"

"NO!!" she screamed. "I'm not leaving him."

"Tell us what happend." Misty said grabbing Stephanie's hand and holding it tightly. "You can trust me."

"Tyler was about to kill me and he saved me. Now he's about to die. I have to do something. If he dies..." Stephanie started to cry even harder. Misty hugged her tightly.

"He won't die."

"And even if he did," Ash said, "He wouldn't want to you be hurt. He saved your life, Stephanie. So you wouldn't be in pain."

"I wish you were my parents instead of them."

"Don't say that." she kissed her forehead. "They want what's best for you. They are just trying too hard because I know they raised you right." Stephanie cluntched unto Misty's chest crying. She heard a moan from behind her. Stephanie quickly turned her head.

"He's... He's alive!" she screamed. She looked towards Ash, "Please help me bring him inside, Please!!" she begged.

"Oh, the trouble you get me into, Stephanie," Ash smiled, "I'll help you."

Him and Stephanie carried him inside and into the closet room. May was rooming through the halls of the palace and seen them.

"What are you doing?" When they finally laid him on the bed, May rushed to Stephanie. "Why is he here? Get him out of here."

"No! Mother." Stephanie said. She ran into the bathroom and wet some towels. She placed it on him. She knelt by his side crying and whispered to herself, "Please let him be alright."

"Now who does that remind you of." Misty said as she sat in the corner chair with Ash sitting on the arm of the chair.

"Misty, Is this some kind of joke?" May said, "You heard me tell her, I don't want her near him."

"But, May, look at her."

"No, Misty-" May looked away. Misty stood and gently turned May's face to her daughter.

"Look at her. If I didn't know better, I would think it was you. You can look in her eyes and see. She loves him. She looks at him like you watched Drew, just hours again."

"He stole her heart," May cried hard. Misty hugged her tightly and May embarced the hug.

"May, you and Drew taught her well. Look at her, she's a smart charming young woman. You taught her everything she knows. But one thing I don't think you know you taught her is love. She knows what love is more than I could ever know."

May continued to cry but she looked up at Stephanie. "How do you know? I can't have her hurt."

"I don't know. I wish i did. Now, as her mother, the only thing you could do is trust her. you were the one who taught her what love is. Did you know Timonthy was going to leave because of Stephanie to protect her. He wanted to protect her, but thank god he didn't or she would have died and you know it."

May cried and fell on her knees remembering everything of the past. She looked at Stephanie and remembered the look on her face. The apple truely never falls far from the tree. May was just like Stephanie was when she fell in love with Drew.

"I hate to say this,Misty, but you're right, as always." May smiled and Misty helped her stand. May walked to her daughter and knelt beside.

"Mother. Before you say anything, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I disobeyed you, but it felt right. Mother I love him."

May held Stephanie close to her. Stephanie cried on her chest. "I love him." She said again.

"I know you do, honey." Tears started to fall from May's eyes too. "I can tell. He does, too."

Misty and Ash left the two alone. Mother and Daughter time was needed desperately. She just hoped she could defeat Tyler. But what could defeat Tyler: a spirit an undefeated spirit. She knew the answer: Love. But love doesn't kill.

"Come on, Misty," she heared a soft voice say. He kissed her neck. "Let's go to sleep. We've had a long day."

"I'm not tired."she smiled. 'Go to bed, Misty.' a soft femine voice inside her head said. She knew the voice but she hadn't heard it in such a long time she forgot who it beonged to. She listened to its voice and laid down next to her husband.

"So what changed your mind?" Ash smirked as he hed her close to him. She didn't hear him, her mind was focused on th voice and where it came from. Why did it want her to go to sleep? 'Why can't I remember?' she thought. 'It's sounds so familar.'

"Misty, Are you okay?"

"Wha- Oh yeah. I'm okay. Just thinking."

"Oh," Ash said innocently. He was good at that, "Do you mind sharing?"

"I'm tired," she turned her leaned on his chest like it was a pillow. Her eyes closed and soon she was asleep. Ash watched her for a moment and soon blew out the candle near him and they were surrounded by darkness.

Misty's thoughts were the same as every night. It was always a happy dream of the day Tyler would be defeated. She knew it was meant to be but she never knew how.

The Misty in her thoughts had a wide grin of happiness like never before. She was happy and had no worries.

'Misty.' the same voice from before called.

'Yes,' Misty called in her dream. 'Who's there?'

A woman with long golden red hair walked toward her. Her hair was the color of the red in a sunset. She had bright bluegreen eyes. There was something almost angelic about her. Tears formed in Misty's eyes. 'It couldnt be,' she thought. The woman smiled.

"Hello, Misty." Misty cried as the tender loving voice talked to her. "Do you remember me?"

Misty nodded her head and silent tears fell from her eyes, "Of course I do." The woman hugged her. Misty could have sworn the woman was crying too. "Mother, I've missed you so much."

"Don't worry. Everytime will be alright." Her mother looked at her smiling. "I'm here because I need to talk to you."

"About what?" Misty asked. She then thought for a second knowing what was going on. "Tyler?"

"Yes," she sighed, "I've been waiting to tell you, but I had to wait until now. Do you still have the necklace I gave you?"

"Of course I do." Misty said She took it off from under the slits of her dress, "I gave it to Racheal but she returned it."

"Do you know why she returned it?" Misty shock her head, "I told her to. It's the only thing that has enough power to destory Tyler forever."

"How? What makes it work? How come you didn't tell me?"

"It wasn't the right time. Do it for the ones you love." The woman slowly fadded away repeating the words. "It wasn't the right time. Do it for the ones you love." The voice got futher and futher away.

"Mother!" Misty screamed and woke up from he dream. Her face was hot and sweety. The heart shaped necklace was tightly held in her hand. Her grip lossened on the necklace and she looked at it. In the dark it even shone, well at least to her.

"Misty, are you okay?" His voice brought her back into reality. She shook her head from her thoughts. She felt Ash's soft gase upon her.

"Yes, I'm fine, Ash." She laid back down on her cozy bed not knowing what her mother meant by it or if it was even true for that matter. Why did it seem that she was the one who had to solve the problem? She knew the answer almost as well as she knew her name.

Well I finally updated. Hope you like it. Please Review.
