The Henderson's Residence

Kate walked to the front door and peeked through the safety glass, she saw no one standing outside. She could have sworn she heard the doorbell. Deciding to take a look outside she unlocks and opens the door and walked out on to the big family porch. It was a warm sunny day outside and that can only spell rain later for the town. Whoever that was must have left she thought before heading back in and shutting the door behind her.

On her way to the kitchen she noticed the glass sliding door of their sun lounge standing wide open. Stewart must have left it open when he left earlier, she thought. She walked in and shut it. She looked around the spacious modern decorated room and smiled to herself, everything looks in order. Kate couldn't wait to get back to the kitchen to go through this new recipe she found in one of her mother's old cook books. She was about to walk out when a shadowy figure caught the corner of her eye.

"Hallo Kate." The shadowy figure said in a cold eerily voice.

Kate turned back slowly her eyes wide in disbelieve.

Stella and Jack's Apartment

Jack was up and on his feet in seconds from the couch. He quickly stepped in front of the door when he saw Stella heading that way with her handbag in hand. "I'm going over to Kate handsome she wants to show me a new recipe promise I won't stay out late." Stella said and kissed him on the cheek.

He smiled and shake his head no. Stella is unpredictable and who knows what she might do next if he let her out of his sight. For the first time in his life he has found real love with Stella and he was not going to lose her. He smiled and kissed her passionately walking her slowly back to the couch.

Stella laughed and pushed him back gently. "Very sneaky. I know what you're trying to do. We will definitely continue this when I get back okay? It's just that Kate sounded so excited and I don't want to disappoint her you know. She really values my honest and sometimes brutal critique."

Jack sigh inwardly. He knew there was no stopping her. He gently took her hand and kissed it and nodded his head letting her know he understands. "What will I do without you my hero. I will be back before you know it." Stella said with a cheery smile. Jack played along and smiled. He knew he had to follow her.

... What happened to Caroline at her home earlier that same day...

Dr Stephen and Caroline Salvatore's Home

Amber smiled when she saw her mom with baby Anna in the kitchen. Her mom looked so happy now that Anna is feeling better and with Anna all better that means dad can't boss her mom around anymore. Thinking about it is funny but Amber knew her mom was going to get her dad back one way or another.

"Don't you look better today. Oh yes, mommy's little munchkin is smiling again." Caroline said to a smiling giggling baby Anna.

"Yes, she does. I think dad was sitting up with her all night." Amber said when she walked in.

"He did the same with all of you. Doctor Stephen clearly does not trust me around the kids when they're sick." Caroline said with an eye roll.

"It's in his genes please forgive him mom and I don't think dad is doing it on purpose. I don't think he is even aware that his pushing you to the side and bossing you around." Amber said to her mom.

"Maybe you are right but I still think he is a jerk for doing that. A very cute jerk and I'm still deciding on his punishment."

Amber laughed and said. "What about a romantic date night just the two of you. Wine candle light soft music in the background."

"Oh, I can see myself in that but your dad not so much."

"Don't worry I will get the ball on the roll and plan everything just act surprise if it happens dad will have no other choice but to leave his books for one night and go out with you.' Amber said with a determined look on her face.

Caroline laughed softly and hugged her daughter. "You are going to change the world someday if you keep up with this positive attitude of yours."

"Awe thanks mom."

A car honk loudly outside breaking the special moment between mother and daughter. "Who can that be?"

"Its Jenna she wants me to go with her to the mall is there anything you want me to get mom?"

"Nope we are good or wait you can bring me something sweet and sour from Rosy. My usual." Caroline said and wink at a laughing Amber.

"You got it. I can take Anna with me seeing that your busy with the laundry." Amber said.

"Okay but don't stay out too late and be back before your dad gets home and no sweeties or ice cream for her and don't let people kiss her in the face or on her mouth and please let Jenna drive safely seatbelts always on. Anna safe and secure in her baby seat."

"Mom!" Amber said with a laugh. "Relax I know the rules. Dad is seriously rubbing of on you."

"No, he is worse I'm the cool one." Caroline said before kissing both her daughter's goodbye.

"Why did I start with the damn laundry." Caroline mumbled to herself as she is walking down the stairs to the laundry room. "Well better get it done who knows I might be going out tonight."

"I wouldn't count on that if I were you Caroline Salvatore."

Caroline stopped dead in her tracks when she heard the mocking voice saying that.

With fear in her eyes she looked around her. The laundry room that was down in the basement was big with lots of dark corners and hiding places thanks to Stephen who stores everything he can't throw away. "Who said that? What do you want?" Caroline asked in a weak voice shaking with fear. She looked up the stairs the door was open but she won't make it. What if her attacker has a gun? What if he shoots me in the in the back? And to scream for help will be fatale Sophia is in her room upstairs with Francoise and to call her for help will only endanger them all and she can't put the lives of her children in danger.

"What do you want? How did you get into my home?" Caroline said hard.

"So many questions and so little time that we don't have Caroline Salvatore. We still have to go to Kate Henderson's house after this maybe I will explain on the way that's if your still alive." The haunting voice said followed by a hard and ugly laugh.

"What, what do you mean?" Caroline said as tears welled up in her eyes. Arms out of nowhere suddenly wrap around her from behind and a cloth with a sharp odour was placed over her mouth and nose. Caroline struggled in vain as her world slowly faded to darkness.

The Henderson's Residence

"I can see you and this time I'm ready for you." The woman said as she's peeking through the curtains in the living room. She had a clear view of Jacks car that was parked in the street. She smiled to herself and closed the curtains again. She turned back and her smile got wider when she looked down at Stella and Kate seemingly lifeless bodies sprawled out on the living room floor. She took out her phone and dial Amy's number. "You're on. You know what to do." The woman said in a cold voice to Amy over the phone. The ugly sinister smile that spread over her face when she ended the call spelled nothing good for whatever is about to happen next.

Amy looked down at her hands that was shaking uncontrollably after she got the call. She quickly threw the phone on the back seat of her car and closed her eyes. "I have to do this if I don't, she will kill my whole family and besides, its not like she's going to hurt anyone." A nervous Amy said to herself trying to make herself feel better and to calm her down. Her eyes went back to the house. The house of Bonnie and Damon Salvatore. Amy had no idea how she's going to kidnap the two little twins without getting caught or worse, killed.

…

A smiling Zoe walked to the family garage with the twins in tow. Her smile got even brighter when she saw Cayllum in there busy cutting the ropes around Dylan's boat. "Hey I'm going to take the twins to the park with me. Do you maybe want to go with us?"

"I would love to go with you guys just let me tell Dylan first. He wants me to go with him and Walter we taking his boat for a spin on the lake." Cayllum said and immediately dropped the cutter from his hand.

"Oh no you can't do that you will break his sailor heart. You have to go with him Cayllum and besides you don't get out much and a boat ride on our lake on a day like this is really nice." Zoe said with an adorable shy smile.

"Are you sure? I don't mind going with you and to be honest your brother can talk non stop and Walter still have a crush on you just think about it, me in the same boat with those two something is going to happen." Cayllum said and smirked.

Zoe's adorable laugh sounded like sweet music to his ears. "You will enjoy it trust me and remember this, do not insult his boat or try to be the captain. There is only one captain of that boat and that's him. I tried that once and he threw me over board but no harm done. Water is my second home." Zoe said with a cute smile.

The twins were starting to get restless and pulled Zoe's hands. "We want ice cream." The two whined. "I should go before my arms get ripped off by two very eager beavers." Zoe said.

"Are you guys walking there? I can drop you off." Cayllum said and stepped closer to her.

Zoe's breath got caught in her throat the minute Cayllum stepped closer to her. "It's such a lovely sunny day outside the walk will do us good and besides the park is not that far." She stumbled out quickly and took the twins hands. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek before walking out of the garage with two very excited little twins by her side.

...

"Come on, come on, what should I do. I can't sit here in the car all day people will start to notice me." Amy said to herself. She was a nervous wreck. "I need fresh air why is it so hot in here. Wait I can't get out what if someone see me." She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath releasing it slowly. Her eyes immediately snapped open when she heard a young girl's voice and the laughter of two little toddlers.

She saw the young girl walking down the street holding the hands of the two little toddlers. "This is it. Luck must be on my side." Amy said to herself and started her car. She followed the trio at a safe distance.
