~True Blue Passions~
A series by Tainted Love
Chapter One: Love in the Shadows
***Note: takes place just after they find out Theresa is alive, Sheridan and Antonio come to Harmony and Kay beds Miguel, but it won't follow what is happening in the episodes on TV. It will go wherever my thoughts want to go. Enjoy! ***
Ethan felt as if the ground had dropped out under his feet. His knees shook and he clasped unto Gwen's arm for strength. He couldn't believe it. Theresa was alive! She wasn't dead. Quickly, he gained control over his shocked legs and half ran, half limped over to Theresa.
Theresa was as beautiful as ever, maybe even more beautiful, now that Ethan could see the sparkle of life in her big brown eyes. She was still wearing her funeral clothes, a closely fitted cream-colored pantsuit. But, no one would be able to mistake Theresa for a dead body anymore. She was still a little shaky on her feet with a slightly dazed look in her eyes, but there was a warm color to her skin. She was alive.
Ethan took Theresa in his arms, not even trying to hide the tears trailing down his cheeks. All he cared about was the living, breathing girl in his arms. Theresa pulled back a little and smiled up at Ethan. Ethan gazed down at her with an overwhelming sense of joy. His Theresa was alive!
"Ethan, I told you I'd be okay," Theresa said happily.
Ethan struggled to find words to say to her, but his heart leaped at the smile on her face and he couldn't speak. Instead he pulled Theresa closer and kissed her warm forehead. Theresa lightly traced the tears on his face with her soft fingers. He couldn't help himself; she was just so beautiful in that moment. Without thinking, Ethan lowered his head and met her lips in a soft embrace. An intense wave of happiness and joy flowed over him, as they gently broke apart. Ethan couldn't be happier at that moment, but his joy quickly crashed as he looked over Theresa's shoulder.
Gwen. how could he forget about his fiancé? Her brown eyes were almost black with fury and hurt. Ethan let go of Theresa and started towards Gwen, but it was too late. Gwen had fled out the patio door and into the dark night.

Kay watched Miguel from the darkest corner of the hospital waiting room. She felt the need to hide from the world after today. Why didn't Miguel love her, and not Charity? What was it about Charity that was so special? Tonight, Kay had finally made love to Miguel; only he had thought she was his love, Charity. And afterwards, when he found out it was her, Miguel had been shocked. It wasn't supposed to turn out like this! Kay had used the potion of Charity's essence, hoping that it would lead Miguel into realizing that it was Kay who he loved. But things went wrong and now Miguel looked at her with such anger, hurt and confusion, that it tore Kay's heart right out of her chest.
Kay watched as Miguel paced across the waiting room carpet. Kay had to grab the chair she was sitting in to keep herself from going over and comforting him. She knew it would only make things worse. Miguel didn't want to see her right now. He just wanted to find out if Charity was going to live.
Alone, huddled in the dark, Kay finally broke. She began to cry over all the stupid things she had ever done as she had tried to win Miguel's heart. It was her fault Charity laid unconscious in the ICU of the hospital. She was the one who had conjured up a Zombie Charity to take Charity's place. And it was the Zombie Charity who had attacked Charity and Timmy before she was vanquished. Kay had done so many stupid things. and the worse part was, none of them had worked. She was still no closer to winning Miguel's love. If anything, she had succeeded in losing him as her best friend. Kay buried her head in her hands. It had all gone so wrong.
Dr. Eve Russell entered the waiting room. Everyone stood at the sight of the doctor, but no one was brave enough to ask the question. Are Charity and Timmy alive?

Diana was nervous. She was about to meet Brian's family for the first time. She hoped she would make a good impression. Diana loved Brian with all her heart. They were going to get married. She wanted her in-laws to be a big part of their lives. Diana loved the idea of having a family to lean on. She didn't remember her own family and ever night she wondered about them. If only she could shake her amnesia. She would love to be able to find out if she had loved ones of her one, waiting somewhere for her return.
"While, this is it," Brian announced as their cab approached a large mansion.
"Is your family rich?" Diana asked as she took in the large estate. For some reason it looked very familiar. She could feel her brain working far underneath the layers of mist. Something was indeed familiar about this mansion. She could almost think of why, but there was still too much fog clogging up her brain. Maybe soon, she would be able to have her memories back. maybe very soon.
Brian laughed, "No, this is the Crane estate. My mother told me on the phone that I would find my family here. I can't think of why they would be here, though. My family has never been fond of the Cranes. They have ruined many lives in Harmony. I hate every Crane that's ever lived."
Diana almost gasped at the pure hatred she heard in Brian's voice. But she couldn't dwell on that; the cab was pulling up to the doorway of the Crane mansion. Diana closed her eyes, as a memory finally broke from the fog. She could remember herself entering this twin doorway many times before. She could see herself twisting the brass doorknob and pushing the door open. She always entered on the left door and not the right one.
The cab stopped and Brian paid the driver. Brian smiled softly at Diana, kissing her gently on the lips. "One thing you should know," Brian looked almost sheepish, "My real name is Antonio. My family will be calling be that."
Diana laughed, "Well, I guess you do look like an Antonio. I like it. My Antonio."
Antonio looked up with a smile of relief. "Okay, lets go meet my family. My mother said the door would be unlocked and that they'd be in the living room." Antonio reached for the right doorknob, and Diana shook her head.
"The right door is always locked, you have to enter on the left side."
Antonio looked up with surprise. He tested the right doorknob and sure enough, it was locked. The left door swung open with ease and Antonio looked at Diana questioningly.
Diana shrugged, "Like we said, I might be from Harmony, so I guess I may have been to this house before, maybe for a party or something."
Antonio agreed quickly. They had time later to figure out who Diana was. Right now, he just wanted to have his family meet the girl of his dreams. They entered the house, and Antonio called out, "Mama, it's Antonio. Come meet the love of my life."
