annoying ring, she looked up at the clock realizing its way past the normal time, she started to click end, when she heard her grandfather’s deep voice come through.
    “Hello?”
    “Hi G randpa…” Siobhan whispered between hiccups
    “Siobhan, what’s wrong?”  His gravelly voice clearing from sleep
    “Nothing Grandpa, I just found out about the trip, it was announced at the party tonight, Jason & Sarah already knew, but they didn’t tell me?!”She wailed into the phone
    Between her sniffles, she could hear her grandmother in the background asking her grandfather who it was, then heard the shuffling of the phone.
    “My little fairy, what’s wrong?” Siobhan’s grandmother ’s soothing voice brought a new wave of tears to shimmer in her eyes
    Crying louder, Siobhan relayed the same thing she told her grandfather.
    “Little fairy, we knew about the trip, your mother called us a couple of weeks ago to discuss it.” She replied calmly “We were not aware that they had not informed you, but please little one, don’t be upset by this trip.”
    “Grandmother, that means I only get to spend less time with you”
    “Siobhan, you are going to where our family came from, who do you think agreed to this trip based on where you are going?” she asked
    “What?” Siobhan asked quietly
    “We discussed it and said that if this trip is so important, then we wouldn’t have a problem with only getting to see you for a month as long as you were to go to Ireland where our family is from.” Her grandmother said peacefully
    “Oh, grandmother...I…I didn’t know”
    “I know little fairy, but now you do . W e want you to go and have a wonderful time, take lots of pictures for us to see when you come home. I only as that you learn about where your fae blood comes from!”
    “I love you grandmother, I really do and thank you” Siobhan said . Sighing, Siobhan felt her heart ease
    Hanging up she immediately sent a text to Jason and Sarah.
    Jason n Sarah…sorry! I luv you guys and will make it up to you. Luv Becky
    A few minutes later she got a text back from both, saying they loved her too and to come join them at Pete’s the party was going strong. Exhausted from the evenings events, Siobhan texted back declin ing and she would see them in the morning.

Siobhan undressed quickly before climb ing into her bed . P ull ing the covers around her tightly, she closed her tired eyes .  Sleep came quickly as she fell into a quiet dream of her grandparent’s farm . Lost in the dream, she didn’t hear her bedroom window gradually slide open .
    Murky mist slithers leisurely into her room encircling her bed. The mist shimmers as the energy inside it forms into a man with a chiseled urethral face gazes at Siobhan with vibrant green eyes . A long slender hand reaches down slowly caressing Siobhan’s sleeping face. Mumbling incoherently, Siobhan turns her face into the outstretched fingers.
    Groaning, the man shivers from Siobhan’s warmth.  An aching need for her fueling his resolve to be closer, he leans down laying a soft kiss to her lips.
    “My beloved, come to me in dreams , feel our hearts love I have missed you” the lilting Irish voice whisper s. Standing above Siobhan a moment more, he watches the dream began to weave inside her mind before dissolv ing into the mist .
    Murmuring in her sleep, tossing the covers off in a fit, the dream of her grandparent’s farm fade s into darkness.
