True Love Once One is Removed
Chapter 6: Her Memory
****The characters of Days are not under contract by me or anything of the sort. In my demented mind, maybe, but hey that's with everybody (or female) who has seen Kyle Lowder. So you can't blame me for writing.
(A/N: I went in a different direction with this chapter. Hopefully by the end you will get were I was aiming at and how things came to be by the next chapter or whatnot.)
As Bart entered the 'Johnson residence' he said "Honey, we're home. And we brought a guest." As Rolf stepped up besides him to whack him for his obnoxious comment. But refrained when Stefano, Chris, and Lillie stepped forth from the foyer.
'I see her instructor and her tutor have already arrived' thought Rolf viewing the people before him. As he began to open his mouth...
"Well, where is she...We have people waiting and we have things that need to get done. Time is not our friend, so please quickly Rolf" Stefano said bluntly.
"I was just going to say something but you had already began... but that she is indeed ready. And you shall be proud. I haven't felt this much confidence since we transformed John Black..."Rolf smiled as he continued "and she is definitely capable of anything that is thrown her way. I equipped her with the knowledge for such agility, wit, emotion, and many other factors. But they will need to be heavily touched based upon if this mission is to be 110% set forth accurately. But without further ado to the anxious party I give you Alexia Kripet Johnson. Surrogate daughter to Max Johnson. As this is his 'friend's daughter' in which he raised from a small age since her mother died while giving birth and her father had been killed while on police business..." he informed them of the story that was to be fed to her before he left to go get her from the car.
"Aw, this should be interesting" Chris said as he continued "Where you in on this all along. I mean with her being your daughter and all. Because the name Alexia seems to be derivative of your daughter Alexandra, and I don't know about the middle name."
"You are quite right. Her name is derived from the family. Kripet is to be pronounced Cree-pay and the first three letters are from Kristen's and the last three are from Peter's. But before you ask. I will save the story of my other children for another day." Stefano said as he placed a finger upon his lips motioning for quietness as the doors reopened and out stepped Rolf.
"Lady..." as Rolf bowed his head to Lillie "...and gentlemen. I give to you the beautiful and combated Alexia Kripet Johnson" Rolf said as he stepped aside to let the figure step in.
The figure who mind once belonged to Chloe Lanes hadn't been necessarily wiped off her memory but placed to the back of her head. As the new missionary Alexia stepped onto the scene. She was Chloe physically but mentally she was a young woman on a mission. But for now she had to be trained for the task at hand and become accustomed to her partner Chris Riley.
"Wow" was all Chris could say. She was beautiful and yet un-reachable. He felt that about her presence but he knew he could never get emotionally involved with her. It was a business deal. 'Right business, nothing more, nothing less' Chris chanted into his head as he realized the next few months of close contact with her would probably be difficult. But it was his job. And he was going to complete it.
"Aw Alexia" Lillie greeted her. "How are you feeling my child? The trip wasn't to strenuous on you, I hope. If not, shall we begin your learning of the history of her, so that for the mission you can become her?"
"Ms. Faversham, I am fine and ready to take on the challenge. Don't let being packed in a car for a few hours lead to the presumption I am not capable. Because I am. I am willing to practice day in day out for the next 2 - 3 months it is for me to get this done. I will not become a failure. And hold up a good name for my father in light of this mission. I see it as my way of getting back what I lost so long ago. This is my revenge. And when I become her, I shall takeover that night" stated Alexia confidently.
"O' my child. How you do so well to please a legacy, your father's and that of this one's" Stefano smiled as he realized he could really do some damage with her by his side. And after the 3 months of conditioning there would be other places. 'And I can finally get my revenge on the Brady family' he thought proudly.
"Father, it has been too long" she said as she embraced him as her actual father. "I found the school quite boring after awhile" she said at the implanted memory of the Boarding School she had supposedly attended all her life.
"Well, you are home Alexia and I would like to introduce you to your partner. Alexia meet Chris Riley. Chris meet my daughter Alexia. I feel that in time you two shall become very close" smirked Stefano. As he had had plans for these two since the beginning.
"Hello, Mr. Riley" Alexia said blushing. She had never been around boys too much due to the fact the Boarding School seemed to be comprised of all girls. As she shook his hand she felt a jolt, something from the back of her mind and his hand shake had triggered it. 'But what was it' she thought.
"Hi Alexia, but please just call me Chris. I can't have you going around calling me that. You make me sound older than I am" he stated laughingly.
"Well, exactly how old are you Mr..... I mean Chris?" Alexia asked getting to the point.
"Ah, so she does ask. Well, I am only, can you believe 21 years of age" he stated slowly the age part smiling down at her. As he had been taller than Alexia.
"Oh, well I'm only 17. So technically you are old in the sense of comparison to me" she said smiling at her comment.
"Sure whatever you say my dear. Whatever you say" he said.
***Later on
After all the fierce history and painful exercise for training, Alexia had been finally been laying down to rest at '2:30 AM' she thought.
And thought back to her lessons with Lillie, which hand been an earful. 'And very boring' as she smiled.
But then when she thought about Chris, it was always active and a never tiring thing. He kept her on her feet and for some reason she could appreciate that. She liked the fact of knowing someone was able to match her or possibly beat her out. As the thought of it led her from thinking about Chris who happened to be 6'1, light brown/ blond highlighted hair, muscular built, and cute gray eyes to thinking of a certain blue eyed, blond haired, tall, and muscular figure. 'Where did he come from?' as Alexia began to drift off to sleep and dream....

Earlier
All the while Alexia had been training, Rolf had been explaining to Stefano what all happened. He had just gotten to the part of Chloe passing out, and how he thought it was permanently. When Stefano stepped in and said "You fool, how could you give her too much?!" angrily.
"I can explain....I mean I thought she was,...and I felt it wouldn't have much harm. Since I figured we were going to the original destination of the transformation. But when we had to go into Salem, maybe it was more time. But the past is in the past. Back to the story at hand...." Rolf began as he watched Stefano just sigh and Rolf continued "....so Chloe once again blacked out. We hadn't had the chance to phone and see if your daughter was home. And we needed to get Chloe somewhere in which she could get medical health without going to the hospital, for obvious reasons. So we went to the only place open....."
"And where exactly was that?" Stefano questioned.
"We went to church....A Catholic one in fact. And they took care of Chloe appearantly all the while Bart and I left to go set up the lab and also the arrival, so Mrs. Carver wouldn't notice. Even though now that I mention that... I didn't even see her around. Maybe out having dinner with her family, I presume." Rolf said.
As Stefano had become wide eyed and mouth open loosely " You...Left...Her .... Alone...and in Salem of all places to leave her where someone could easily identify her as Chloe Lane. If I hadn't had been in such a good mood right now...." Stefano said trailing off, allowing to fill in the blanks.
"Well, I didn't think there was nothing....I mean I've never witnessed them go to....and I just thought that no one at the time would be concerned about going. I didn't think of that possibility like that until just now." Rolf said.
"You mean until I just faced you with the certain aspect of it?" Stefano asked.
"Well, yes but I mean nothing happened obviously. Chloe, I mean Alexia is here now. After we picked her up, no questions asked as they tended to her needs and she rested, then everything else went downhill. I will have to tell you more about her memories later. But I believe you have the general gist of it, right?" Rolf said.
"Hello everyone..." Lillie said as she walked into the room and took a seat onto the couch in the foyer. "...what's going on in here. Secret conference I wasn't made known to?"
"No, nothing of the sorts Lillie. I was just inquiring into our Alexia's little adventure before she got her, and it was that indeed, wouldn't you say so to, Rolf?" Stefano said as Rolf gave a simple nod answering with a yes.
"And I was just about to go into the child's history or her memories of it, when you walked in." Rolf said.
"Aw, speaking of history, I must tell you how it went with hers. It was a total success. I quizzed, questioned, and she passed all. I mean ALL of them. It was like she was built to know this or she had some idea of it. Even if the transformation helped somewhat, it seems this girl had her own capabilities that exceeded average. The girl she had been once before, who still has a little mystery to her I don't know of....Aw, I am so giddy. I know she will be success at the winter ball held in...where is it being held, Stefano. I know it was to be in Italy, will it still be there?" Lillie asked confused.
"Well, it will be held in two places. As this event is 2 days and I will explain later. But the first day it is being held in Italy, why, because of its location. And the aspect of anything happening is not possible. As this will be the event where everything will come into work. But my plans for going to the second day, is personal. And the possibility of something happening there is very likely. And Alexia will be tested knowledge wise the first day. But her skills learned through Chris will be needed the second day. If all goes right. It will succeed but if it does not....than it shall not" Stefano finally had said after a long pause.
As all just sat down and continued discussions all surrounding Alexia and who she'd been before and who she would become in a matter of months....
***********
Elsewhere (back to present)
As Chris sat down onto his bed he thought of his first session with the beauty.
"No, no, no AJ you want to bring your leg over and under the rope." he commented.
"Look, I am getting there. Now, if you will please leave me alone and let me finish this silly rope maze and shut up about this whole 'You can do a lot better' fix then maybe I could do just that!" Alexia said through gritted teeth.
As Chris smiled. 'She needs to get loose' he thought as he knew what he was about to do next. And he began to walk over to her and noticed her get caught up on a rope and with no sudden warning she fell flat on her back and let out slow moans of pain.
Alexia didn't even look up to know Chris had been there, all she said was "Shut up, and don't say a word. I will get this before the night or morning is over. I have to prove it to myself and my father." As she finally looked up to the extended hands of Chris's. And as soon as she had taken it. He slid her from under the rope maze and then lifted her to him. Full body contact and inches. Inches away.
And he breathed out "Having fun, yet or is it too much AJ. Because we could always do this later, you know. I mean because it seems to me that this wasn't meant to be tonight" he smiled cockily. Knowing full well the extent of her mouth and his trouble he would be in......'
'AJ' he thought. The name he had gave her as a nickname to be called only by him. That memory of her he would always have. It was strength that had always been present in her. Even if she did seem to have her times. She was one of a kind. 'If only...' he thought as he lead himself to laying down on the bed and staring at the ceiling......
********
Elsewhere in Salem
It was 11:08 pm when Brady walked into the penthouse. Pain, tears, and hurt written over his face. He had finally found happiness somewhere outside of John, Belle, and just recently Marlena. But Chloe had been the result of such good relationships that had been forming in such areas. Now she was gone. 'She's gone' he thought as a tear came down his face. Had it all been one day this occurred. And sadly but true it had been just that. It all happened yesterday but it still haunted him this day. And this day would be slowly coming to its end soon. He thought of the events of yesterday. From her sudden disappearance, wrong plane, plane crash, her gone, possibility of being alive, then her body found burned inside of a car near the plane crash. There were still unanswered questions as to if the one witness was telling the truth where was the 3rd body? 'Where was it, if the witness saw someone carry Chloe off to an expecting car. That's 3 people, where had the other person went off to. Or was it some set up and he had been paid to deliver Chloe. No matter what, I know it was a set up' he had been thinking. Although, there was something else besides that day that haunted him. All the clues and strange feelings or connections to areas. The messages being shown to him. What had they meant. Why was going inside that Church such an importance as he had walked blindly around town not even driving his 'hip and happening car'. It had too many memories that he created with her and even the nickname of the car had he created with her. Also something was wrong with how the car had been. There had been leaves spread onto only the windshield of his car. For one thing the car was parked no where nearly close to a tree nor had it driven all day. He was going to run home and drive it earlier when he found out the possibility of Chloe being alive, but that had been ruined. But that wasn't the fact. The car had 2 letter spelled out on its windshield with the usage of the leaves.
As a knock came at the door of his bedroom. He had just began walking to his room through thought. And not even realized he was in it, until the knock. "come in" was all he said as a figure poked their head into the room scanning it, as if seeing the coast was clear.
"Brady, I know it hurts but.." Belle sniffled as she was aware of the next few words out her mouth "...will you be going to the memorial service tomorrow. I know Mr. & Mrs. Wesley would appreciate it. I mean if not for them, for her. Since it is going to be held in her memory. You knew her better than anybody, I mean you two were getting so close in the little time you two had. Please Brady, if not for me then for AJ." Belle said... '
As Brady awakened from his dream and read the time on his alarm clock. '2:30 am' he thought. Why had he had that dream. It probably would of made more sense if Belle had said Chloe, and how it was her memorial service being held tomorrow, or rather yet later on today. But why was his dream the way it was. But Belle had said AJ...the same 2 letters or name that had been on his windshield.
"Why?" Brady said aloud but in a whisper. And he realized today he was going to find out. First he would start off with the church and wherever it led to next......
******
'As a figure approached her. And out of the blue held her tightly and looked back into the deep blue of her eyes with his and kissed her. Deep. passionate, and a tension releaser. As all had been forgotten and the gates to heaven was being shown through them.'
As Chris awakened from his dream. He hadn't even realized he fell asleep but he had. But who had been the guy kissing Alexia. The figure kissing her was a blurred sight. Why had he had the dream and what was the significance? As Chris got up and began to feel around the walls for a light switch. But found something else, a hollow part of the wall. He soon found where it lifted to reveal a knob. As he was about to reach to twist the door knob the lights flickered on. And he turned his attention to the entrance of his room.
"Well, I see that you have found the way to Alexia's room. Your and her room are con-jointed. The only 2 rooms in this house that are. Don't get any ideas" Stefano smirked.
"NO!, I mean I was only looking for the switch when I came across this. Besides what are you doing in here at this time? Shouldn't you be somewhere thinking..." Chris replied. As he had felt guilty when he found where the door went to.
"Hmm, well it is 6 in the morning and I thought I would let you in on what you are suppose to do today. I have an assignment for you. And Alexia is not to know of this. This is strictly for you and I want you to do this. It involves you going to Salem and....." as Stefano continued on with the task he needed Chris to do.
A few minutes had passed after the talk with Stefano before Chris finally laid back down. 'I guess I will be getting to meet Chloe Lane's family and friends. Even a boyfriend. I wonder how was the life she lived or who she exactly was' Chris thought as he went back to sleep.........
**********
As later on elsewhere
"Hope, I wanted to let you know. I plan on going back to Ireland in few months for this event. It has Dimera's name written all over it. And I know he will be there. I know this isn't the time, since we are getting ready for the memorial service. But I have a feeling about this trip to Ireland for the winter ball. And I sure could use your support" Bo said.
"Sure Brady". As Hope wasn't even paying attention, she had caught the general gist of the topic. But her mind was elsewhere. Something about Chloe made her realize something. Her appearance had been close to someone's else she knew. And she just couldn't place her face. But she knew once she remembered it would explain the reason for Lillie being involved. And why someone else would be too ...'Stefano' she thought

Chapter 6: Her Memory
****The characters of Days are not under contract by me or anything of the sort. In my demented mind, maybe, but hey that's with everybody (or female) who has seen Kyle Lowder. So you can't blame me for writing.
(A/N: I went in a different direction with this chapter. Hopefully by the end you will get were I was aiming at and how things came to be by the next chapter or whatnot.)
As Bart entered the 'Johnson residence' he said "Honey, we're home. And we brought a guest." As Rolf stepped up besides him to whack him for his obnoxious comment. But refrained when Stefano, Chris, and Lillie stepped forth from the foyer.
'I see her instructor and her tutor have already arrived' thought Rolf viewing the people before him. As he began to open his mouth...

"You are quite right. Her name is derived from the family. Kripet is to be pronounced Cree-pay and the first three letters are from Kristen's and the last three are from Peter's. But before you ask. I will save the story of my other children for another day." Stefano said as he placed a finger upon his lips motioning for quietness as the doors reopened and out stepped Rolf.

As Brady awakened from his dream and read the time on his alarm clock. '2:30 am' he thought. Why had he had that dream. It probably would of made more sense if Belle had said Chloe, and how it was her memorial service being held tomorrow, or rather yet later on today. But why was his dream the way it was. But Belle had said AJ...the same 2 letters or name that had been on his windshield.
"Why?" Brady said aloud but in a whisper. And he realized today he was going to find out. First he would start off with the church and wherever it led to next......

'As a figure approached her. And out of the blue held her tightly and looked back into the deep blue of her eyes with his and kissed her. Deep. passionate, and a tension releaser. As all had been forgotten and the gates to heaven was being shown through them.'
As Chris awakened from his dream. He hadn't even realized he fell asleep but he had. But who had been the guy kissing Alexia. The figure kissing her was a blurred sight. Why had he had the dream and what was the significance? As Chris got up and began to feel around the walls for a light switch. But found something else, a hollow part of the wall. He soon found where it lifted to reveal a knob. As he was about to reach to twist the door knob the lights flickered on. And he turned his attention to the entrance of his room.
"Well, I see that you have found the way to Alexia's room. Your and her room are con-jointed. The only 2 rooms in this house that are. Don't get any ideas" Stefano smirked.
"NO!, I mean I was only looking for the switch when I came across this. Besides what are you doing in here at this time? Shouldn't you be somewhere thinking..." Chris replied. As he had felt guilty when he found where the door went to.
"Hmm, well it is 6 in the morning and I thought I would let you in on what you are suppose to do today. I have an assignment for you. And Alexia is not to know of this. This is strictly for you and I want you to do this. It involves you going to Salem and....." as Stefano continued on with the task he needed Chris to do.
A few minutes had passed after the talk with Stefano before Chris finally laid back down. 'I guess I will be getting to meet Chloe Lane's family and friends. Even a boyfriend. I wonder how was the life she lived or who she exactly was' Chris thought as he went back to sleep.........

As later on elsewhere
"Hope, I wanted to let you know. I plan on going back to Ireland in few months for this event. It has Dimera's name written all over it. And I know he will be there. I know this isn't the time, since we are getting ready for the memorial service. But I have a feeling about this trip to Ireland for the winter ball. And I sure could use your support" Bo said.
"Sure Brady". As Hope wasn't even paying attention, she had caught the general gist of the topic. But her mind was elsewhere. Something about Chloe made her realize something. Her appearance had been close to someone's else she knew. And she just couldn't place her face. But she knew once she remembered it would explain the reason for Lillie being involved. And why someone else would be too ...'Stefano' she thought
