Chapter Three
"I know who your mother is." Sam admitted.
"I know that but how?" Lucky demanded.
"Laura is the reason I've been trapped here for the last three years." Sam just blurted out without thinking. How was she going to get out of this without telling the truth?
"What are you talking about? You don't even know my mother."
"It's nothing."
"Why did you say it then?"
"You don't want to know the answer." Sam said quietly.
"Tell me the truth. Now."

It felt wrong, him a Cassadine being in the Quartermaine mansion. Alice had let him in. He was just grateful that she had answered the door, and not Tracy. He was not ashamed to admit he was afraid of that woman. He looked up to see Emil walk in the room.
"What are you doing here Nik?" Emily said wrapping her arms around herself.
"I need to talk to you and you've been avoiding me."
"I have not." She protested.
"You've been ignoring my calls."
"I've been busy."
"Really?" he said walking towards her.
"Yes." Emily moved away. The closeness between them was making her uncomfortable.
"You know you suck at lying."
Emily rolled her eyes. "Fine I've been avoiding you."
"So you admit it." He smirked.
"You deserve it from the way you've been acting lately."
"I know."
"You're an ass whole."
"I just admitted I was wrong."
"I don't care."
"I'm sorry. I know it wasn't fair of me to say that about Jason. I get he's trying to help Elizabeth but I'm scared for her."
"Jason would never hurt her, you have to know that."
"Not intentionally. But his life is dangerous and I think he's falling for her. He's not want to wait for her too much longer"
"Is that what you came here to say? You really suck at apologizes." Emily started to leave the room but Nikolas gently grabbed her arm.
"This isn't coming out right. I came here to say I'm sorry. Jason's your brother and despite what I feel about him I shouldn't talk about him like that, not to you."
"I get that you are worried about Liz, I am too but it's her choice if she wants to spend time with Jason."
"That's what she said."
"Well at least you finally get it."
"Are we ok?"
Emily waited a moment before answering. "I guess." Nikolas sighed in relief.
"Good."
"Why do you care so much?" Emily asked looking down.
"Because you're one of my best friends, I love you and I hate it when we fight."
You're just not in love me. "Yeah me too."

"Oh no Sarah, you don't have to come I've got tons of support here, I'm fine." Elizabeth had been on the phone for the last hour trying to convince, no beg her sister not to come back to Port Charles. For the love of god Sarah don't I don't even want you here!
"But I'm not alone, I've got plenty of support. No I will not move to California just so you can babysit me." The whole point of me being here is you're not.
"I don't care if it would make you feel better!" Sarah just shut up!
"I'm being selfish? No what. I've got to go." After the line was disconnected Elizabeth threw her phone across the room.
"Um uh…are you ok?" Elizabeth looked up to see Emily standing in the doorway.
"Sarah called."
"That explains it." Emily replied.
"She wants me to California."
"What?" Emily took a seat beside her friend on the couch.
"Don't worry I'm not. She says that I need to just "get over" Lucky and move on.
"I shouldn't be surprised but I am."
"I try not to think about Sarah too much. She just gives me a headache. So did you talk to Nik?"
"Yeah he apologized and we're ok?"
"Well that's good." She looked at Emily to see her looking down. "Right?"
"It is. I'm just so tired of pretending."
"Pretending?"
"That I'm not in love with him."
"Oh. That."
"But all he sees me is as a sister."
"Is that what he says?"
"No he doesn't have to. It's just obvious."
"I'm sorry Em."
"How does he not see it? How can he not see how in love with him I am? Everyone else does."
"Because he's an idiot." Emily laughed humorlessly.
"You know what Lucky would say to you if he was here."
Emily smiled, "That I deserve better. Shouldn't waste my time on some jerk. And then he would offer to punch him for me."
Liz smiled sadly. "He was always so protective of you."
There was an awkward moment of silence. "Well I should probably go it's getting late." Emily walked to the door and stopped for a moment. " You should go to bed, you look exhausted."
Emily walked out the door and headed back to the Quartermaine mansion.

By the time Nikolas walked into Wydmore it was late. He stopped when he heard Helena's voice. He hid behind the door so she couldn't see him but close enough so he could hear. "It's too risky to have them here where Nikolas or Stephan could find them. Stephan is already getting suspicious. I want to get them out of the country tonight"
"It's too risky to move them right now."
"Are you questioning my authority?" She asked dangerously.
"You're going to do it because if you don't, I'll find someone else to will." Helena pick up a knife and held it at the man's throat. "And I can't just let you go. I won't risk you screwing things up for me. I would hate to see your incompetence to get you killed. "
The man winced when Helena pressed the knife harder against his neck. "I'll do it." Helena moved away from him, "I knew you would see it my way."
"When do you want it done?"
"Keep your voice down you idiot." Helena hissed. She looked around the room to make sure no one was listening before speaking. "Get them out of the dungeon tonight. And be discreet. No one can ever know they were ever here."
After Helena and the man left Nikolas walked in the room. What had his grandmother done?

"Would you believe me if I did?" Sam asked doubtfully.
"It depends on what you say."
Sam rolled her eyes, "You think Laura is so perfect. You have no idea who she is."
"You're wrong. My mother could never do this to you, she doesn't even know you."
"It not what she did, it's what she didn't do."
"What do you mean?" Lucky said in frustration.
Sam didn't know what to say. How did she get herself into this? There was no way to avoid this now. But if she tried to tell him the truth would he even believe her? "Just drop it."
"No. You can't say something like that and expect me to drop it."
"It's not important."
What did you mean?"
Sam took a deep breath. "I know who she is because I'm her daughter"
To say he was shocked, that would be an understatement. "No you're not. Why are you lying?"
"I'm not lying. It's true."
"No it's not possible. My mother she can't...
"Lucky think about this. Why would I lie about this?"
"You tell me. Are you working for Helena? Are you just a spy or something?"
"No." Sam said horrified.
Lucky wasn't sure why but he believed her but he did.
"But how is this even possible?"
"Laura gave birth to me when she was kidnapped by the Cassadines. Stavros is my father."
"So you are my sister." Lucky was shocked. He had a sister. He knew Helena was a evil bitch but he never thought she was capable of doing something like this. But who was he kidding? She had kidnapped him, made everyone believe he was dead. Just to spite his, no their family.
"Yeah."
"I can't believe this." Sam looked down
"Just forget I ever told you."
"No. Why would you say that?"
"It's just better that way?"
Lucky moved towards her so he was now sitting next to her. "How?"
"Look we may be related by blood but that means nothing."
"Sam-
"Lucky our mother abandoned me she didn't even bother to tell anyone I existed. This whole time she's been the perfect mother and wife to your family. I'm not a part of that, I never will be."
"But you could be. We're going to get out of here Sam."
"Lucky if we do ever get out of here it doesn't mean I want anything to do with your family."
They're yours too."
"No there not, I don't even know them. And I hate our mother! Because she cared so much about getting back to you, she didn't think about me, or Nikolas and I have suffered because of it."
"It's not true. Mom would never do that. If mom knew you were alive. You have to understand the reason mom claimed Nikolas is because Lulu was sick. She needed a bone marrow. No one was a match except for Nikolas. If there was any chance she thought you could save Lulu she would have came for you. If not for you, for Lulu."
"You just don't want to admit she's not who you thought she was."
"Nikolas felt the same way. But now they are close. It can be like that for you too."
"I am not Nikolas."
"I never said you were. Just give her a chance"
"None of this matter because we're not getting out of here."

"What the hell are you doing here." Laura said angrily.
Sonny sighed. "I need to speak to Luke it's important."
"Who the hell do you think you are showing up at my house like this?"
"Laura look-
"Luke's not here so you're just wasting your time." Laura tried to shut the door but Sonny his hands on it and slid in the house. "It's really important that I speak to Luke. Do you have any idea where he could be?"
"Like Luke tells me anything these days. And even if I did why would I tell you? Why would I want the man that got my son killed around my husband?"
Sonny looked down, "What happened to Lucky is a tragedy but it's not my fault."
"You can't be serious? Get out now!"
"Look-
"You've done enough to my family. I don't want you anywhere near them."
Sonny sighed knowing he wouldn't get any answer from her. "Let Luke know I stopped by." Before leaving Sonny turned to her one last time. "You may blame me for Lucky's death but eventually you will have to face the facts. I did not do this."
After Sonny left Laura sat down on the couch. She hated him so much. Why did he have to come here? He had done enough already. Because of that man she had lost her son, her family and marriage was being torn apart. When he walked into her home it made her so furious. Sonny didn't even care about what happened to Lucky. Lucky. Today was the first day in over six months that she hadn't been to his grave. She missed him so much. She didn't know if she would be able to get through losing her child…last time she almost didn't.
"You did great Laura." Stephan said handing Nikolas over to her
"Nikolas he's perfect." But then Laura stopped. "Where's my baby girl."
"Laura…"
"Where is she? I want to hold her."
"She didn't make it."
"No! Don't lie how could you say that."
"I'm so sorry."
"NO!"

Nikolas made it down the stairs unnoticed. When he walked up to the locked door he saw a guard by the door.
"Mr. Cassadine." The guard clenched his fist. "You shouldn't be down here."
"Why is that?" Nikolas said walking closer. He could tell the guard was starting to get nervous "I'm on orders from your grandmother. No one gets in."
"Who is in there?"
"Nothing you need to know about."
Nikolas pretended to walk away but quickly turned around and threw the guard against the wall knocking him unconscious. Nikolas grabbed the ring of keys on the man's belt. He found the right one. He opened the door. But nothing could prepare him for what he saw in front of him. "Lucky?"
