Author's Note- I have seen that there are some Jason and Alexis fics on the board and I was intrigued. I started to read one but then the writing urge took over and I knew I had to write one. I think the Emily's death s/l is great to write around and so far I am very proud of my story 

Jason Morgan watched as Nikolas Cassadine wept over Emily's lifeless body. His life had done this, Anthony Zacchara had done this. Tears welled up in his piercing blue eyes that so rarely showed emotion. He had touched his sister's hand. It was cold and pale as her white dress. She looked like she was in a deep sleep. Like she would wake up but she wouldn't. They had been sitting in the same dark room of that mausoleum for the past hour. Elizabeth rubbed Nikolas' shoulders as he laid his head next to Emily's.

"Why didn't I die instead?" Nikolas moaned the sound becoming muffled as he buried his face in the brown locks of hair cascading down her shoulders.

"Nikolas don't blame yourself" Elizabeth chided as she held onto his shoulders.

"I don't blame myself." he cried softly. "I blame you!" he got up screaming at Jason. His brown eyes were filled with rage.

"Nikolas, Jason didn't do anything wrong." Elizabeth cried in tone that suggested admiration for Jason. The tone had made him happy at first but now he knew this was his fault. He hadn't strangled Emily, but his world had.

"Nikolas, I loved Emily too. She was my sister." Jason started wanting to calm down Nikolas.

"Oh like hell she was!" Nikolas screamed, the veins in his neck popped out. "You never really appreciated her. After all she was put through you couldn't even take time away from your super important mob business to pay her a visit."

"I saw Emily plenty." Jason lied feeling the guilt run through his veins.

"Oh yes I forgot," Nikolas smirked mockingly "You saw your sister Emily when she was raped and when she got married to me. Big Deal!" he ended up screaming. "You are nothing but a worthless piece of garbage. You give back nothing! Maybe you could have given her jewels or money but you couldn't give her what she wanted. Love and respect." he continued on.

"Nikolas, stop!" A woman's voice yelled sharply. Jason turned around to see Alexis Davis. Her hair was flopped over to one side and her hands were stained with blood.

"Oh Aunt Alexis," Nikolas snickered scaring Jason. "Are you here to defend another one?" he asked in a sugary polite tone.

"No Nikolas contrary to your belief I am not here to defend Jason Morgan, I just wanted to tell you...Oh my GOD!" she screeched the last three words when she saw Emily's white body draped across the bench.

"She's dead." Elizabeth whispered in voice that could barely be heard.

"Oh Nikolas," Alexis cried walking over to her nephew. "Oh my baby." she whispered pulling him into a tight hug. He sobbed on her shoulder quietly.

Time passed and Nikolas fell asleep in a rocking chair holing Alexis' hand. Alexis stood from her crouching position and dusted off her black dress carefully.

"Jason what happened?" she asked not taking her eyes off Emily or Nikolas. She twisted her hands nervously awaiting his answer. She hated all things morbid but since her life had become so full of it she knew she could handle whatever it is he was going to say.

"We think Anthony Zacchara killed her. He must have strangled her." Jason sighed deeply a tear escaping his eye.

"Oh my god." she exhaled looking at Jason now. "I'm so sorry. I really am."

"I never spent enough time with her." Jason mumbled. He willed himself not to cry in front of anyone. He was a man and he would not let more than one tear escape his eyes.

"I don't really know what to say." Alexis looked into his eyes sadly. She too had loved the young woman's passion for life and incredible strength.

"I don't think you need to." Jason mumbled again. He put his hand on Alexis' bare shoulder and pulled her close. A hug maybe but Alexis didn't want to over analyze it. She just wanted to be there for everyone Jason included. She pulled away when she decided she could not dodge bullets from Elizabeth any longer. It was obvious that she loved Jason. Sam had told her about it many times before. She suddenly felt bad for Elizabeth and Sam. Jason had treated Sam like garbage for a long time and she took it. She didn't want the same thing to happen to yet another woman even if it was Elizabeth. Legal battles with Diane aside.

Elizabeth stood up and walked over to them from the bench.

"Jason do you need me to do anything." she desperately clung to the hope of him needing a long hug from her.

"Yes actually," Jason tried to smile. "I need you to go to the ballroom and..." he started.

"And get Sam and Lucky." Alexis spoke up. "When Nikolas wakes up I think he'll need his family with him." Alexis smiled slightly. She knew Nikolas was going to need his family but part of her enjoyed the idea of Elizabeth squirming at the sight of Lucky, Sam and Jason together and being civil in this time of crisis.

"That might be a good idea." Jason agreed.

"Oh well okay then." Elizabeth snarled slightly walking out towards the ballroom.

"Jason once again I am so sorry." Alexis patted his hand.

"I did this." Jason sobbed suddenly. He buried his face in his palms.

"No Jason, unless you strangled her you are not to blame." Alexis tried to reassure him and surprised herself. Here was a man who she would call nothing more than a ruthless contract killer on any ordinary day and she was comforting him.

"My world did this to her Alexis! My entire adult I have been told that I'm a contract killer. A hit man! You know why? Because I am! My life revolves around other peoples deaths. Emily had me for a brother and that's what ended up killing her. It is my fault, the one time where I really do want to be a part of her life she, well she dies!" Jason shouted almost as loud as Nikolas had before. Alexis just stared at him sadly taken back by his words.

"Don't you get it? I'm a monster!" Jason screamed again his eyes welling with tears.

A sudden urge took control of Alexis. She needed him to know it wasn't his fault. She grabbed his face in between her palms and looked him square in the eye.

"Jason Morgan you need to listen to yourself." she said in an angry hushed tone. "Actually listen to me, you are not in any way shape or form a monster. Manny was a monster, Mr. Craig was a monster. But you are not, do you understand that?" she asked.

The doors swung opened and in ran Sam and Lucky with Elizabeth and Lulu trailing behind them. They all stopped at once when they saw Alexis holding Jason's face and looking at him intensely. Alexis let go off Jason's face embarrassed at the misunderstanding and turned around to wrap her daughter into a hug.

"I'm so glad you're safe." Sam hugged Alexis tighter.

"I was so worried after what happened." Alexis brushed her daughter's chocolate hair behind her ears.

"What happened? What do you mean after what happened? Did something happen to you?" Sam asked concerned. She opened her mouth to speak again but instead her jaw dropped when she saw Lucky walk over to the bench.

"Oh my god." Lucky breathed out kneeling by Emily's body. "Oh god." he repeated again tears streaming down his face. "No, this can't be happening." he cried softly.

"Emily?" Sam asked still shocked. She looked up at Jason. He nodded solemnly and slowly.

"She was killed." Elizabeth added in a small voice.

"Where's Nikolas?" Sam asked confused and worried about her cousin. She couldn't take her eyes off of Emily. Lucky sat by her stroking her soft face. The tears from his eyes dripped down onto her white dress.

"He's here." Alexis replied pointing to the rocking chair occupied by a sleeping Nikolas.

Sam sighed deeply. "Jason, I really am sorry." she managed to say before walking over to Lucky.

"Thank you."

Sam kneeled down beside Emily and Lucky. "Lucky, I don't know what to say to you. I know how much Emily meant to you. I just want you to know that I am so sorry." she sniffled the tears running down her own face.

"Sam I don't know what I would do without you." he admitted while crying. His confession even surprised himself, but now was no time for analyzing. He kissed her hand and held it tightly while he cried.

Lulu stood by the door her eyes wide and filled with tears. Alexis turned to her and reached over and clutched her palm.

"Emily loved you very much," Alexis assured her.

"I just can't believe this, I don't think Nikolas will ever recover from this." she squeaked. She rested her head on Elizabeth's shoulder and sat down sinking into a chair.

"Emily!" Nikolas' piercing scream made them all jump. Lucky got to his feet and next to his brother in a second. As soon as Nikolas opened his eyes and saw his brother next to him his sobs got louder. He grabbed his brother and hugged him tight.

"I, I, love...loved her so much!" Nikolas stuttered as he cried.

"We know you did. We all did too." Lucky assured him once he got Nikolas up and standing.

"Baby I love you." Nikolas placed a kiss to Emily's cold forehead. "I love you so much."

Jason walked over towards Emily grasping her hand and picking her body into his arms. Her dress crinkled against him as he led the group Nikolas and Lucky behind him standing tall and strong, Alexis and Sam holding onto each other realizing the importance of their family and Lulu looking straight ahead in a daze her shoulder rubbing against Elizabeth's arm. Jason glanced out one of the many windows and saw that the storm was finally calming down. He laid Emily down on another bench outside of the ballroom and walked into the ballroom determined to get everyone off this island alive.
