OOWWWWwwwwwww G, my friend... you are SO RIGHT. Now bein' a Park Ranger, he had great knowledge of all the "safe spots," but darned if we didn't get carried away (er... with the wonder of history, ya know) and rolled down a hill into a mighty fine briar patch just a-waitin at the bottom. So I'm afraid we may need a batch of somethin from that secret lab o' yours, or maybe granny's kitchen, and if ya don't mind, we'll be limpin off to the Honeymoon Palace now to lick our wounds (just an expression ya know...) and get some bed rest, and I can't think of a better place than the ol' HP to do that. So book us for a few nights, Ms. G, and I'm hopin you can whip up something soothing for us, and I'll be thankin ya in advance for that as we're in a hurry to get there. Huff-puff.. < for you!

Howdy Ms. Ydo and I'm just fine I hope you are as well. I haven't heard anything on Candy either so I hope all is good. I really feel for her and I hope with all my heart things turn out good. So your gonna let your daughter have a party huh well that should be fun can I come ? I don't think you'll regret it just have fun with them and show them young ones how to really party.lol. Yes I am trying to think of a new one I can't decide if I want to do one on a real place or one on the real Dracula and his castle is haunted by the way so that may work out to be something I do looking at some stuff about that so hopefully soon I'll have something in the works. I just thought with halloween around the corner it would be cool to do some on real haunted places and real ghost such as Dracula and we all love vampires so he may be the next star of the story. Thanks for popping in as always it's great to hear from you and keep me posted if you hear anything on Candy and I'll do the same. Love Ya Do !

With halloween on the way I've been trying to do true ghost stories about actual haunted locations well this one is no exception and is probably one of the most famous characters in movies and for halloween I'm talking about Dracula the imfamous vampire. This character was in fact created from a real person and that person was Vlad Dracula or Vlad Tepes. Tepes meaning impaler or Vlad the impaler as he was known. This is the man that Bram Stoker chose for his character Dracula and maybe that was because of his reputation. Although he wasn't a real vampire it is said that he drank the blood of his victims. He would impale them on a stake and drink the blood of his victims and he would display his victims for all to see this was done as a warning to his enemies of what could happen to them should they cross him. He made sure that everyone knew of his strict moral code. He is known to have killed 40,000 to 100,000 people in this fashion. He was born in Nov. or Dec. of 1431. His father was a knight in the order of the dragons and was known as Vlad Dracul meaning the dragon Vlad was known as Vlad Dracula meaning the son of the dragon. The emblem of the order was a dragon with wings extended. From 1431 onward Vlad wore the emblem of the order and later as ruler of Wallachia his coinage bore the symbol of the dragon. There have been several movies made about the character Dracula and it is also known that his castle is haunted and by him. Many say he was a tyrant and maybe he was but you have to remember the time of his rule things were very different back then but apparently there are some that believe he still walks the earth in spirit form. From movies I've seen and things I've read I honestly don't think he was all that terrible yes he was a strict and just ruler but he was for the people his people and from what I've seen and read he took good care of his people and you didn't steal from his people or you would be the one to suffer unless I simply read the movie wrong that was the impression I had of him. He had such a reputation that the very mention of his name would bring tears to the eyes of grown men so yes he was a strict ruler but from what I can tell he was good to his people his enemies not so much and he was not afraid to fight and very good with a sword. Some may see this different and say he was evil and a tyrant but there are people in that country that say he will return and they are waiting for the day that Vlad Dracula returns to rule again so was he that bad maybe not especially to some that still wait and want and believe he will and is going to return. Now off to the movies that I have based on this character. First and foremost my all time favorite actor to play Dracula is Gary Oldman he was the star of Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1990 with Winona Ryder and he brought something so different to this character he actually gave him a heart and the ability to love and love he did. The movie is classified as horror and yes it does have the horror to it but it also was something else to me it was a beautiful love story of a man who had lost his only love through suicide when she received a false letter saying that her beloved Vlad had been killed in war she then jumped from a window of the castle and into the river below killing herself and to my knowledge this is true. As the movie goes he has a gentleman come to his castle and sees a picture of this mans fiance which is in fact the reincarnation of his beloved and this is where he stops at nothing to get her back and he does and he has one of the most beautiful lines in the movie that I just love so much and it still tears at my heart and that is when he tells her I have crossed oceans of time to find you that one line just rips at my heart no matter how many times I see that movie. Now the second movie I have is called Vlad Dracula The Dark Prince which is based on the actual life of Vlad Dracula and his character is played by a German actor Rudolf Martin who does an excellent job as portraying the real Vlad. This movie is very good and this is where I came to the conclusion that Vlad wasn't that bad in my opinion he was good to his people and served them well unless like I said earlier I just read the movie wrong however his enemies didn't fare so well. He was not one to play with and yes some of his methods were cruel but as I said before you have to remember the time it was and these people were his enemies so therefore he did what he could do to destroy the enemy. In the beginning of the movie it shows him as a young boy with his father and he was in fact a wonderful fighter and very skilled with a sword when his father is killed he sets out to avenge his father's death and he does. He does marry in the movie and by all accounts loves his wife dearly but there is a time when things go bad she finds out things about him that she doesn't like and it does involve her father but in the end they do get back on track however it does have the suicide of her in the movie. The movie does give a very accurate account of Vlad except for the ending. He also has a line in that movie that I love he ask her will you walk with me and she says I will always walk with you. I've just given you a rundown of what I know about Vlad Dracula from readings and movies I have however my story will surround his castle since it is said to be haunted but my story will not be true. Below I will post pictures with a brief description of what or who they are and they are of the real Prince Vlad Dracula also I have pictures of his grave and castle along with pictures of Gary Oldman as Dracula and Rudolf Martin as Vlad The Dark Prince. I hope you enjoy this little bit of history on the most infamous man known simply as DRACULA.

I have a story tell do you want to hear it ? I bet you do come closer and listen to my story you may like it you may be scared you may learn something about yourself that you didn't know you may find that there are some things that lie beneath the surface of your everyday life and one day it surface's and when that day comes what will you do ? What if whatever lies beneath takes you to another land another place even another time what if you were actually another person someone from the past but didn't know it what will you do when the past a very haunting past comes to find you, well my friend sit back and listen to my story and find out what I did when the past came and found me. My name is Cymphony and this is my story my true ghost story of me a friend a place and my destiny. What started out as any ordinary day for me and my best friend Avin quickly turned into a day that was anything but ordinary and took me and my friend away from everything and everyone we knew and lead us to a place and a time that no longer existed or so we thought. It was just a routine day for us we had opened a dinner theater together where we would have an onstage play each night and Avin was the best chef in the world she took care of the food I took care of the plays and we had built quite a reputation for ourselves and were doing extremely well so well in fact that a few of Hollywood's elite came calling and wanted us to travel to Romania to look at a castle that they wanted us to cater to one night for a new film they were coming out with. Well naturally we were thrilled and jumped at the opportunity for a chance like this. We made the necessary arrangements and we were on our way. Upon arriving in Romania I turned to Avin and said what if we run into to Count Dracula while we're here and we both laughed and Avin looked at me and said I vant to suck your blood little did we know that we would both be eating those words. I quickly noticed the reaction of the people when I stepped off of the airplane they all were looking at me like I was a ghost some were even bowing to me and saying she has returned and all will be well again. I looked at Avin and said is it me or are these people freaking you out too and she said no it's not you and yes they are freaking me out as well. We were picked up and taken to another place where another person would pick us up and take us to the castle. As we were sitting there waiting for our next ride people were coming up to me and looking at me very strangely and one person even said if you go there you will never come back no one goes there no one even dares to go close to the place ever not after dark. I told Avin you know maybe this wasn't a good idea I'm beginning to feel very uncomfortable and she said well it's too late to turn back now we are already here so we have to at least go to this place and see what they want us to do after all it's just a movie right and this is one of our dream's to be able to do something like this and I agreed. Then our ride arrived and I couldn't believe what I was seeing it was a horse drawn carriage and I told Avin hey check this out they still have horse drawn carriages here how cool is that. When the carriage stopped in front of the place where we were at I quickly began to feel this was no ordinary carriage. The gentleman stepped out and said are you Cymphony and Avin and I said yes he said please come with me your arrival is eagerly awaited. This man was not dressed in clothes of our time in fact he was dressed in clothes from centuries ago handsome though he was and I could tell Avin was already smitten for him and he was for her but there was something about him and this whole thing that was really beginning to give the creeps almost like I was being taken to another time because so far everything I was experiencing was in fact from another time. We got in the carriage and the ride began and it was a long ride so I told Avin to ask her new boyfriend how long before we got there she did and he said we're almost here madam you can see the castle from here if you look out of your window so I did and there it was the most haunting looking castle I had ever seen in my life sitting high on a hill top as if someone built it there on purpose so they could see everything and everyone below. I knew there was something different going on things were just getting to spooky for me the closer we came to the castle the darker things became there was no life around all the trees were dead no flowers nothing but the sound of howling wolves and I even saw one with his red glowing eyes I knew right away this was no ordinary place and I knew we were brought here for an entirely different reason and I was beginning to feel very scared but at the same time I had a feeling of overwhelming comfort and deja vu all at the same time. We finally arrived at the castle and I knew right away where I was I had seen too many pictures and movies not to know where I was. We were led inside and this was the most gothic place I had ever seen in my life everything about this place was very different but very real. Avin and I looked at each other like we both knew what the real deal was and she said is this the place that I think it is and I said yes this is the place and we were both scared to death. All of sudden what was light and funny to us turned to a whole new level of reality. I asked the driver where is everybody and he said you are everybody and I said but I thought there was going to be a lot of film crew and cast members here and he smiled and said well there was a slight change in plans and I said what do mean slight change and he said please madam let me show you to your rooms and when you have settled in come back down and everything will be explained. We were shown to our rooms and when I stepped in this room I felt as if I had been thrust back in time I had the strangest feeling come over me like I was being transported to another time very scary but in fact I wasn't scared and that is what scared me. We got our things in and came back out and I told Avin okay what is wrong with this picture and she said I don't know but I can tell you this much we weren't brought here for a Hollywood movie that much I have already figured out and I had to agree and then she said something that really threw me off she said although this place and everything about it reeks of evil I'm not the least bit scared are you ? I said I don't know I am a little maybe but at the same time I'm more curious than anything else. We got downstairs and the driver finally introduced himself as Radu that's when I knew what the real deal was. We sat down and I said where is our host and he said your host is my brother Dartanyan and he regrets not being able to great you himself but at the moment he is rather busy and I thought to myself yeah sleeping in his coffin. I said well what has this slight change in plans been I think we have a right to know since we have been dragged up here to this god forsaken place under false pretense's. Radu looked at me and said I do apologize for that and all will be explained shortly. I said well if you don't mind could you start explaining he said you were chosen to come here and see our castle and spend a few days here just to see how you would like it everything in this castle is yours to explore as you want except for one wing of the castle that is off limits. Well that naturally got my attention and then he said and there is one room down the hall from yours that is off limits so please don't go in there. We both agreed and were told to go and change for dinner and that there were clothes lying on our beds for us to wear. When I got to my room I saw a beautiful gown lying on the bed so I put it on and almost instantly I felt as if my body left me and I was someone else someone from a different time a ghost almost. When I came out of the room Avin looked at me and said wow look at you. You look like a queen and your very pale are you okay. I turned and looked at her and said I don't know I don't feel like myself not at all. We made our way to the dining room where only Radu was waiting and he took Avin by the hand and said will you be my guest for the evening and she said you betcha. I sat down and said okay where is our host Dartanyan he said he will not be joining us tonight but you will meet him soon enough. I said fine you know I'm not feeling that well I think I'm just going to go back to my room and lay down for a bit you two stay here and have a nice time. Radu offered to escort me back to my room and I accepted and that's when I said Radu what is this place and what is going on here. He looked at me and said fear not my dear you are perfectly safe I assure you and please don't get discouraged stay and all will be explained soon enough you'll see. I went into my room and changed out of the gown and as soon as I took that gown off I felt like myself again but still a little fuzzy headed so I laid on the bed and drifted off into a deep sleep. Then I was awakened by the sound of the sweetest melody playing it was the tune of Greensleeves and the room was bitter cold and pitch dark and I could hear a voice that said soon my love very soon and I know I must have been dreaming but it felt like I could feel hands gently touching my neck and I could feel the breath of another on me. I quickly sat up and everything stopped so I got out of bed and decided to do a little exploring I went to Avin's room to get her but she and Radu were in there so I was left to exploring on my own. The first place I headed to was the forbidden wing and once I arrived there everything was bitter cold and damp I reached for the door and I heard a voice say no madam you must not go in there it's forbidden Dartanyan will be most upset if you enter there. I turned and looked at the young girl and said okay who is this Dartanyan fella and what is the deal with this place she led me back to the room down the hall from mine and opened the door and said please step inside and you'll see. I stepped in the room and got the shock of my life there was a portrait hanging in the room of Dartanyan and me. I looked at the girl and said what in the world is this and she said it is you madam with our master together as it was meant to be. I said what are you talking about it and she said not now madam quickly the master will be awake soon and he cannot find us in here please come with me and let me take you back to your room you don't look well I said Dartanyan is him isn't he and she said madam please not now we must go. I got back to my room and she fixed me a drink and said drink this madam and it will help you rest you must be awfully tired from your long day and I'm sure things will be better tomorrow. I drank the drink she fixed me and soon I was asleep only again to be awakened by the same melody playing and I could feel the presence of another in the room with me and again with the hands touching me and the voice that said soon my love very soon. I sat up and said who are you and what do you want and the voice simply said soon my love very soon and I felt hands of ice touch me on my neck but could see no one in the room and then I felt lips on my neck and in a flash it was gone. When morning arrived I went to see Avin and she and Radu had a wonderful evening and had planned to spend the day together so I could see she was clearly happy so I was left alone in the castle and told to do as I pleased. I went down and went outside and everything was so different here this place was like something out of another world and time, even the servants looked like it. I made my way to the horses and saw a man there and he said oh madam you have arrived please I will fetch your horse at once I know you and the master are looking forward to a day of riding. I said wait I'm no madam and I don't know who your master is and he said madam don't be silly of course you do you and the master have always been here together not even death could keep you two apart. I got on the horse and started riding and I saw the most beautiful stream and I stopped to go have a look and I sat on the bank and as I looked across to the other side I saw myself standing there on the other side of the bank looking back at me. I was so scared that I jumped up and started to get on my horse and she said do not fear him and then she or I simply vanished. I made my way back to the castle where Avin and Radu were and Avin said my god what is wrong with you are you sick you look just awful and I said I don't know what is going on here but this place is not right I'm hearing music play in my room at night I feel hands touching me voice's whispering to me lips on my neck and to top it off I just saw myself on the other side of the river bank and I told myself do not fear him what is going on here am I the only one that is having these feelings and seeing these things who are you people and the next thing I knew I woke up and I was in my bed. I sat up and Avin was there and she said well it's about time you woke up you've been out for about two hours now. I said Avin something is wrong here I'm scared I want to leave and she said listen everything is fine your just overly tired that's all. I told her no that is not it something is wrong here I can feel it. She said listen get dressed and come down and have something to eat with Radu and me so once again I put another gown on and once again I feel as if I leave myself and become someone else and at dinner Radu and Avin announce to me they are getting married well needless to say I was shocked but happy as they really seemed to hit it off in a big way. I asked Radu where was Dartanyan and he said he will be here soon enough and all will be explained. I said you know what I'm tired of this I'm going to bed I've just about had enough of all of this freaky business and if Dartanyan doesn't show up soon I'm out of here you got that I don't like the feeling I'm getting here and I'm about to put a stop to it. I went to my room to lay down and fell asleep and again the music started and I knew he was in the room with me I could feel him all over the place. I said if your in here please speak up and say something and quit scaring me like this unless you yourself are a coward. No longer had I said that and everything stopped. I knew then what I had to do I knew the secret to this place and to Dartanyan lie in the forbidden wing so I waited for everyone to go to sleep and that is when I made my way down to the forbidden wing. The whole time I was walking I could hear wolves howling and the strangest sounds I have ever heard in my life I saw shadows and blue glowing lights and I stopped to look out of one of the windows and saw blue flames burning all around the castle. I tried to open the door but it would not budge so I went to the other room down the hall from mine I placed my hand on the door handle to turn it and the door opened I stepped in the room and was looking at the portrait and as I stood there blue flames lit in the fireplace and the room was ice cold and the music started and then the door shut and locked. I knew I was dead and then I felt hands on my shoulders and the voice said do you know who I am and this time I knew this was real and then he said you may turn around if you wish and I said Dartanyan ? The voice said yes it is me Dartanyan and I have waited for you to come home to me so that we can once again walk together as it was meant to be. I was so scared I couldn't move and I said are you him and he said him who I said are you the one who ruled here are you the vampire and I felt the hands turn me around and he said look at me and when I did I was lost in his eyes he was the most handsome and gorgeous man I had ever laid my eyes on and he could see right through me and he said yes I am him and he reached down and kissed me and said but you have no need to fear me you wanted to know why you brought here well I'm going to tell you. You are mine you always have been you have just been lost all these years and for all of these years I have been searching for you I sent Radu to find you once we received word that you were in America that is when I sent Radu and he assembled a group of people to act like they were in the movie business to come and meet with you and bring you here to me where you belong where we belong to live together forever as it was meant to be in time you will grow to love this place and me I will see to that. I said I don't understand how am I her and he said listen to me now my love on the day of our wedding there was a terrible storm and while you were on your way here to the castle your carriage over turned and you were killed but in time I was able to find someone that could bring you back the only catch was I had to find you well now I have and you are home where you belong with me now and forever. He said give this a chance and in time you will love me and he reached down and took my hand and kissed me and as he was turning to walk away I pulled him back and said I already do. It was at that very moment that I knew who I really was and for the first time in my life everything felt right. I decided to stay and give this a chance and with each passing day the strange surroundings became my home and I grew used to the fact that I loved a man that could only walk at night and was in fact not part of the living world and I too was no longer a part of that living world I now had found my place in time and a place where I was immortal and could live the rest of my life with the one man that I was put here on this earth to be with. That night he made me his own in the way that only he could do and for a few days I was in terrible pain and agony as my mortal soul died and I became immortal only able to walk at night and never able to walk in the sunlight again and that was exactly what I wanted, to become his the one he loved and wanted to be with his ray of sunshine his life line his immortal one and I am the only one there will never be another for I am his immortal. You may find my story somewhat strange and bizarre and you may ask want you given a choice and here is what I say to that there are no choices when it is your destiny.
This story is dedicated to everyone who has ever wondered what it would feel like to be immortal and to love the most infamous character of all time the VAMPIRE. Thank you for taking the time to read this and please let me know what you think. Thank you again and hug's to you all.

Dear Mrs. G, I miss your stories and hope everything is allright with you?! Be assured, that I will wait in peace - if you just need some time out.
Even so I grieve every evening where there are no dragon pictures and story. But who am I to expect anything... So take your well earned time out, but don't ya forget us waiting souls, and whenever the mood strucks you, please go to your secret laboratoy and brew up a real nice story! Do you freaking hear that?


I always wanted to use your words!

HI ! Elven I'm fine sorry I haven't done anything but with the forum being so slow I didn't think anyone was even looking. You of all people have a right to expect something and my dear you shall get it. I know people are very busy with work and other things that come up in our everyday life so I didn't realize anyone was even checking or looking for anything. For you Elven anything and I will get right on it and I will have something hopefully in the next couple of days. Thanks for caring and asking about me and I am just fine and I hope you are as well. I do check here daily to see if anyone has stopped in so anytime you stop by and don't see anything just let me know and you will get it and I do love doing them but with everyone so busy with other things I know everyone can't look everyday and I understand that but I do check here each day to see if anyone has stopped by and left something and since the forum is so slow I'm probably only going to do them when someone ask for one since I know it's hard for everyone to get in here with busy schedules but I will keep close check and see if anyone has been by. So now I'm off to the "secret lab" to start conjuring something for you in the mean time I will leave you a friend to keep you company and yes I FREAKING HEARD THAT Take care Elven love and hug's to you !

Hi ladies I just wanted to let you know that I am putting something together and will have it up soon. Since the forum is so slow I will be slacking off of the stories if anyone wants a story please leave me a post here. I hope this doesn't offend or upset anyone. I understand that everyone is really busy with work and everyday things and can't always be here. I will check here each day to see if anyone has stopped in and left a post for a story. I have really enjoyed doing the stories for you all and I hope you have enjoyed them as well so if anyone would like a story all you need do is leave me a post here. I will check daily and if someone leaves something I will get right on it. Thanks and I've enjoyed being able to entertain you and I hope you will continue to want me to entertain you. Hug's to you all !!

For several nights I had been having the strangest dreams of my childhood friend who just one day up and disappeared. Ever since that day I have missed her so and have never seen her again or even knew where she went to. Everyday I would go to our favorite play place that we called the Elvenpath and I would sit and wait for her hoping she would show up but she never did. As the years passed I went and visited our little play place less and less but never forgot my little friend and still missed her very much then the dreams started and in my dreams she is there only she is grown like I am now but for some reason I can't help but feel there is something to these dreams each morning I wake I feel so strange as if she is right there and then I get the overwhelming feeling of dread that something is so terribly wrong with her and she needs my help. My dreams are so vivid and so real that I feel I must try and find some answers so I went to visit my mother's friend who is well known for her physic abilities. I'm going to go and see her today and she told me to bring at least one toy that she and I both played with as children so I found our little dragon friend that I had tucked away safely after she left. When I arrived at Shand's home she was waiting for me at the door and took me inside. She told me to come and sit by her on the sofa and give her the toy and then she took my other hand and held it very tight and began some sort of chant and the next thing I knew she fell back on the sofa and was out for a few minutes she had warned me that this would happen and for me not to be alarmed. When she came around she ask me just how close where you two and I said we were very close we played together almost everyday and then one day she was just gone and I've never seen her again. She then said your friend is in grave danger and she needs you. This scared me so and I said what is wrong and where is she then Shand said well that's the tricky part she's alive but I can't place where she is it's not any place I've ever seen before or even ever heard of. I said well do you have a name for the place and she said yes the name of the place is Everdream but it's not a regular place it's like a kingdom a fairytale kingdom. I said are you sure about this and she said yes I am most certain of that. She told me to go home and wait for her to call me that she needed to do some soul gathering as she called it. I went home and paced the floors wondering what on earth was going on and where this Everdream place was and more importantly where was Jayla and what was wrong with her. It wasn't long before there was a knock on my door when I opened the door it was Shand and she said your not gonna believe this but I know where to help you start looking. I was so excited to hear this and I said where please tell me so I can go. She looked at me and said you must find the Elvenpath. I said your kidding me the Elvenpath that's where we played as children how could this be. She said I don't know but if you want to find your friend that's where you need to go and I suggest you hurry your friend needs help and she needs it quick. She told me she would take me and walk me as far as the path and see if she could pick up on anything while we walked. We got to the path and got out of the car and began walking once we got to the edge of the path she said I can go no further you must go alone now. I said but where do I go she said walk straight ahead and as soon as I am out of sight you need to stop and call your friends name and there will be a forest queen that will appear to you and help you. I looked at her and said you know this is the craziest thing I've ever heard don't you and she said yes because this is the craziest thing I have ever told anybody to do but that is what you must do now go before it's too late. I began walking and it seemed like I had been walking for days before Shand was completely out of sight. When I could no longer see her I stopped in the middle of the path and called for Jayla. All of a sudden everything went black and the wind began to blow and all the little animals began peeking out behind trees and I could hear laughter almost like little children and then she appeared the most beautiful sight I'd ever seen in my life and she said you must be Mikka and I said yes I am and who are you. She said I'm the forest queen and I'm here to lead you to your friend who is the Queen of Everdream. I said what do you mean queen what is going on here. She said sit and I will tell you why your friend disappeared so many years ago you must want to know and I said yes I do. She said your friend was and is a very special person she was born in the land of Everdream where all are immortal and everything is peaceful and beautiful but your friend Jayla was a bit mischievous as a child and ran out of the castle one day looking for a new friend to play with and she found you but what you didn't know is that the name she gave your play place was a real place and when Jayla crossed the border which separates the Elvenpath from our world to yours she put herself in danger and now her immortal soul is dying because she crossed that border and found a friend that she was soon forbidden to ever see again and now she lays with a breaking heart and a lost soul that is searching for her best and only friend. Now our beautiful queen and beautiful land are destined to be doomed unless you help her. I said how can I help her I don't have any kind of special powers I'm just a regular girl and she said no you are much more than that you are the one that can save us for you are that friend that she was forbidden to ever see again and she has missed you so bad and needs you now more than ever will you please come and help us. I looked at her and I could tell she was very serious and she was so beautiful and I didn't feel threatened by her in anyway so I said if I go will this save Jayla and she said yes you are her only hope please come with me and I will guide you the rest of the way and make sure no harm comes to you. I said okay then lead the way. I began walking and walking and finally I said how much longer do we have to keep walking I'm so tired. She said look up you are here and when I did I saw the most beautiful sight I'd ever seen in my life it was like a dreamland and she said welcome to Everdream. I was speechless this place was amazing I couldn't believe my eyes. She then told me to follow her and she would take me to the castle where Jayla was. When we were walking towards the castle all of the people were asking the forest queen if I was the one and she yes she is the one and if you all want to keep living you need to let me get her to the castle we don't have much time. When we reached the castle the doors flew open and she took me inside and told me to sit and wait for her to return. She then made her way upstairs and when she came back she had the most handsome man with her and he came up to me and said you must be Mikka my Jayla's best and only friend. I said yes I'm Mikka how is Jayla ? He said I'm afraid if you can't help her she will die before sunrise. I said no she can't die what do I have to do please tell me we were such good friends and I have missed her so much and never knew what happened to her. He smiled and said come with me. We went upstairs and got to her room and he opened the door and there she was my best friend that I hadn't seen in years and never knew what happened to her. He told me to walk over to her and touch her on the face and speak to her. I walked over to the bed and with tears streaming down my face I placed my hand on her face and said Jayla it's me Mikka I'm here and I've missed you so much please don't go away I want us to play some more but I got no response. I sat and waited for hours and with each passing moment I knew I had been too late and then she opened her eyes and said Mikka is that you. I said yes Jayla it's me I'm here what can I do to make you all better tell me I'll do anything for you. She took my hand and smiled and said you've done all you had to do you came for me without any questions whatsoever and gave me the friendship that I have so desperately missed since the last day that we were together. I was forbidden to ever walk to the Elvenpath again and play with the only friend I ever had and since that day I've grown weaker and weaker so when I got worse they sent for the forest queen to come and she said the only way to cure me was to let me once again be with my friend across the border of the Elvenpath or else I would die and she was able to tap into your dreams and let you know that I needed you and now your here with me and we are together again and like magic she sat up and was well again and all of the flowers in her room began blooming again and the little birds were at her window singing. I stayed by her side for almost a week until she regained her strength again. When she began to feel better I ask her why didn't you tell me who and what you really were and she said would you have believed me and I smiled and said nah probably not. She was improving with each day and finally she regained all of her strength and I told her that it was time for me to go but if I could I would love to come back and visit her again. She looked at me and said but you can't leave just yet there is a party in your honor tonight and besides I have someone I would love for you to meet. I said well you talked me into it. We were together all day just like when we were children and we had the best time and then it was time for the party and we went together and she led me over to the most gorgeous creature I'd ever seen in my life his name was Saber and we danced all night and I felt like a queen and I was beginning to wish that I didn't have to leave. The next morning there was a knock on my door and it was Jayla and she said you know Saber would like to see you again do you really have to go I would love for you to stay here with us. I said you know that can't be I'm not like you I'm not immortal. As I was getting ready to leave the forest queen came in and said you can stay here if you want and I said no I can't I'm not immortal and she said well that can be easily remedied if you so wish and would like to stay here with us. Jayla looked at me and said please stay I've missed you so and you are the only friend I have and you coming here has gave me life again you belong here with us here in Everdream please stay and then in came Saber and said yes please stay I've waited a long time for someone like you. I stood there for a minute and for some reason I just knew I belonged and I really had nothing else waiting for me on the other side so I looked at the forest queen and told her whip it up. She smiled and said as you wish and she gave me a potion and now I will forever remain here with my best friend and my Prince Saber in the beautiful kingdom of Everdream which is just a short walk down the Elvenpath.
Elvenarcher this one is for you and may our friendship last as long as time itself and maybe one day we can stroll down the Elvenpath together. Hug's Elven ! Thank you all for taking the time to stop in and read this. I hope you all enjoy it and please let me know what you think. Hug's to you all !

Hi Elven I'm so glad you liked the story and I will take you up on the offer to walk the Elvenpath and in the meantime that beautiful castle will do just fine. My only concern is if we go walking what will we do with our hottie cars and will this make our hottie detective image look bad. Oh well who cares I can't wait to take that walk with you and we can't forget our little dragon friend. I'm so glad you liked the story and whenever you are ready for another just leave me a post here and I will head down to the "secret lab" and get on it I'll be checking in each day so just leave a post and just so you know I think your the best too ! Love Ya ! Elven !!

Now I know why I didn't find this, gmac. It goes back to 2010 I have some reading to do, don't I? I'll take it a little at a time.

After the holidays, if you want to continue with your stories, maybe a new thread would be a good idea. This one has over 1000 posts. I don't know about other people, but when I see threads with mountains of posts, I generally avoid them, figgering I would never catch up on the reading. What do you think?

Exactly I'm the same way I don't want to weed through all of them so most definitely I would start a new one with a new title name as well so just let me know if you would be interested in me starting a new again just look through a couple of these to get an idea don't worry about reading all of them. I think you and I think alot alike.
