The Imposter

AN: The following is a fan fiction based on "One Life to Live" I do not own any of these characters. They belong to "One Life to Live."

Marty couldn't believe how far she had fallen. Nothing seemed real to her anymore. There was a time that she believed that her child, the child that she had wanted so badly, was alive. She was convinced that Natalie was trying to steal her baby. Since she came to ST. Annes she slowly had to face the truth that her child had died.

There were days when Marty felt like herself and she believed that she was getting better, but then there were bad days where she couldn't get out of bed because the fear that nothing was real was always lingering beneath the surface.

Today, Marty questioned her sanity when she looked up and saw the old familiar, haunting face of Todd Manning. He looked exactly the way he had when they were in college. He even had the old familiar scar that haunted them both.

Marty took a deep breath, Todd had plastic surgery. This couldn't be real or could it?

Marty gasped as she looked into Todd's eyes. It was him, it had to be, but was he real?
"Todd?" Marty whispered.

"Yeah, it's me. I know you're confused, but I need you to know that I'm real,"
Todd said as he walked to the door and locked it.

"What are you doing here? Why are you dressed like a doctor?"

"I had to sneak in to see if you were okay. You don't belong here. You don't deserve to be locked up like an animal."

"Why do you care?"

"I don't care but I'm not going to let that bastard get away with using my name to hurt you, so I'm here to make things right."

"Who are you talking about?" Marty asked confused.

"I'm talking about that imposter who's parading around town using my name. I know how he took advantage of you. He's the reason your here."

"No I'm here because I couldn't deal with losing Cole. It had nothing to do with Todd?"

"That's not his name and don't defend him after what he did to you."

"Marty? Why is this door locked?" Sister Agatha called.

"I'll come back tonight and break you out of here." Todd said and then he left through the balcony doors.
