AUTHOR'S NOTE ::: This is the love story of Marty and Todd starting from the very beginning when they first met in college. It also includes several other characters as well as their storylines. This story is based off the hit soap One Life to Live, yet the "history" has been changed somewhat to suit the purposes of this story. Not all the parts of this story will contain erotic sex scenes as there is a plot. First and foremost, this story is a romance/drama, not a sex story. This story also deals with the topic of nonconsensual sex as well as other disturbing material, so if you are bothered by that please do not read any further.

Also, I'd like to note that I do not own ABC's One Life to Live or the characters and I will NOT be receiving any payment whatsoever for writing this story. It is intended for entertainment purposes only.

*~Chapter Fifty-Three: Wicked Plans~*

Marty had arrived at Vicki's with tears streaming down her face. "Please... take her," Marty begged as she placed Lilly in Vicki's arms.

"Marty ~ honey, what's wrong?" Vicki asked as she took little Lilly into her embrace. "What is it, sweetie? Where's Todd?"

"I don't know," Marty said in a sob... because the monster who had attacked her and took her children was NOT Todd.

"I- I gotta find him..." Marty said to Vicki. "Please watch Lilly."

"Marty, you're scaring me. Where are Samara and Logan?" Vicki asked.

"I don't know..." Marty repeated sadly. "I gotta find Todd. Just keep an eye on Lilly, and I'll be back."

"Does this have something to do with Tina?" Vicki questioned, but before she could finished speaking, Marty had rushed back toward her car. Marty sped away quickly as Vicki stood there at the door holding precious baby Lilly.

Marty arrived home and hurriedly packed a bag. She stuffed it full of some of her clothing and all the weapons she could find in the house. She was going to look for Todd and the kids herself. She knew that the man who attacked her couldn't have been Todd. There was something not right about him. She had no explanation for what had happened, but she HAD to find Todd and her children.

*I just wish I knew where to look,* she said to herself as she sat down in the living room to think.

*~o~*

The guards had been careless and Todd had escaped from his prison cell at his mother's compound. He grabbed a gun from Agent Kent who had been torturing him. With the barrel of the gun pressed against Agent Kent's temple, Todd forced the agent to lead him to his mother's office. There he found his mother and Tina discussing their wicked plans. When Todd walked in, he overhead his mother's side of the conversation. "I sent Victor back to Llanview. He has orders to impregnate Marty. I need another heir," Irene stated. Todd growled in disgust when he heard his mother and his sister's evil laughs.

Todd aimed the gun at his mother. At that moment, Irene realized her son had escaped. "Tell me where my kids are!" Todd demanded. "Tell me now or I'll blow your sorry ass away!"

"You can't destroy me, Todd. If you kill me, Victor has orders to kill Marty," Irene threatened. "Victor is on his way to Marty now as we speak."

Todd grabbed Irene by the throat and drug her away. He forced Tina to follow him into the prison cell he had just escaped. "Hurry up, Tina.. or I will blow your bitch of a mother away!" Todd yelled.

"Todd, you can't kill her. She's our mother!" Tina snivelled.

"She's YOUR mother- not mine!" Todd bit out as he tossed both Tina and Irene into the cell. "Wicked witches like her don't deserve children. Barbara Manning is MY mother!"

Todd locked the door of the cell and turned to Agent Kent who had been struck silent by fear. He knew Todd Manning was a dangerous man. He believed Todd when he said he'd blow him away. "Alright, Agent Kent. You and I are gonna go make a phone call," Todd said.

At gunpoint, Todd forced Agent Kent to give him the location of Irene's compound. In his mother's office, Todd called Bo Buchanan in Llanview. "I know you hate me, but Marty's in trouble," Todd spoke on the phone. "My identical twin brother is in Llanview on he's on my way to my place now."

"He's going to hurt Marty. Listen! You gotta help her!" Todd said urgently. Todd told Bo the location of Irene's compound.

"My kids and I need you to send help! Irene Manning and my sister Tina are lunatics and we are being held here against our will. Hurry!" Todd insisted.

After Todd hung up the phone, he forced Agent Kent to lead him to Logan and Samara. Once he had his kids in his arms, Todd felt so much better. He held them close as tears clouded his eyes. He could only hope and pray that Bo Buchanan came through for Marty. Victor couldn't hurt her. Todd would tear the earth to shreds if his evil twin brother hurt the woman he loved.

Marty was sitting on the couch with her head in her hands when the front door came open. HE walked in. "Todd?" Marty said hopefully as she stared up at him in shock.

"It's me," he said as he took her in his arms.

"Thank God," Marty said as she threw herself against him and cried.

"I was scared. I thought he had killed you... I thought..." she said in a sob. "Where are our babies? Where are Samara and Logan?"

"They're in a safe place," he said as he crushed her in his arms.

"I need you..." he whispered as he lifted her up and began to carry her toward the stairs.

"No, Todd. We can't," she said in a whimper, trying to escape from his arms. "I need to see Samara and Logan first. I need..."

"No!" he said firmly as he hurried up the staircase. "I have to have you. NOW."

Something in his eyes alerted her to danger. This wasn't Todd. It couldn't be. This was HIM!

"Ohhh God! No!" she said, disbelieving that she had made the same mistake twice. If only he didn't look and sound so much like Todd. But he wasn't Todd. He was a demon, intent on raping her!

"Let me go!" Marty screamed as she fought him. She kicked him and clawed at his face, but he didn't stop. He carried her down the hallway and tossed her on the bed. Although she fought with all her strength, he tore away her clothes and tied her to the bed.

"Please don't!" she sobbed as she saw him free his erection and walk toward the bed.

"It's time for you to make a baby with me," he said with a grin. "Nothing's gonna stop me this time, Marty. Nothing!"
