Chapter 6: Tragedy

"Luke, Laura, Barbara…" a deep, raspy voice whispered repeatedly.

Laura and Barbara clutched Luke's arm.  "What was that?" they asked in unison.  The lights were still turned off.  But suddenly, one by one the lights came on.

Gia knew something was going to happen, she hung onto Lucky as tightly as possible, but her efforts were not rewarded.  It was still dark in most of the room and no could see anyone else.  She felt her hand being pulled away from Lucky.  Someone was trying to take her, she couldn't scream, she fought to no reprival.

Lucky, everyone she was gone.  She was shoved into a room, her head was pushed into water, a needle pierced her skin.  She fell dizzily to a bed.  She was alone, she was unconscious.

All the lights were on, "I everyone okay?" Luke called out picking up LuLu and grabbing Lucas's hand.

"No." Lucky said.

"What's wrong cowboy?"

"Gia, she's not here.  She's gone.  This, this all the work of a Cassadine."

"Wrong!" an unfamiliar female voice shot from the darkness across the room.

 "This is the work of many Cassadines.  None whom you've never met before."  The voice was revealed as a young, blonde woman emerged from the dark shadows, with a young man and another young woman by her side, none were recognizable.

"Is this some sort of game?" Luke shouted.  Clutching LuLu and Lucas even tighter.

"No," the young man said.

"Where's Gia?" Lucky said tight lipped clutching his fist.

"Don't know, don't care.  I fact, it was her who helped us find you guys at the hospital the other."  The blonde woman said.

"Gia, she would, she would never help Cassadines!" declared Lucky stepping closer to the three.

"Why are we talking about Gia?!  She's not a princess, I am." The blonde woman said more impatiently.

"You are all gathered here today to get into the open a secret, actually there are two secrets." The red haired woman said.

Laura and Bobbie eyed each other gulping simultaneously, Nikolas observed, he knew that they knew what was coming.

"I am Kristina Cassadine, daughter of Mikkos and Kristen, sister of Stefan and Alexis." She said with dignity. "But I not the secret."

Luke knew it could only get worse as they went down the line of the Cassadines.

The blond woman stepped forward, "I am Caroline Cassadine, daughter of Stefan and Barbara Spencer." She announced.

Everyone turned to Bobbie, frozen with astonishment, Luke and Scott stared at her in disbelief.  Laura knew she was next, the most terrible thing that could happen to her happy family.

"And I and Nikolas Cassadine, son of Stavros," he paused and turned Laura, "Son of Stavros and Laura Spencer."

The room went dark. 

The Cassadines made their exit, unbeknown to the Spencers.  The plan was in motion.  They would do what it was their destiny to do, they would destroy the Spencers, at last.

Gia woke up to sunlight pouring into a room from an open window.  Where was she?  She stood up and walked to the window, the ocean.  She saw a white beach, clear water, she saw the ocean.  She then realized she was in hell.  She fell to the floor, and began crying and screaming.

"Lucky, Lucky!" she lay on the floor her hands in her face. 

She knew, she knew the truth, she would never see Lucky again.
