Spoon Island

Sonny felt like a caged rat in a cavern. He wasn't in control of things and that bugged the hell out of him.

-Sonny you're going to make me sick.-

-I'm sorry.-

-Sucks?-

-Pretty much.- He sighed and looked at Elizabeth lounging on the couch.

The memory of that night coming back to him. He sat down took her hand she looked into his eyes.

-I'm sorry about that night about the whole thing. If had of seen you home.-

-Then Carly wouldn't have spent those months gone lock in my house while I was oblivious.-

-No.- He didn't mean that.

-Sonny, imagine what it's like for me. I keep asking myself that if I hadn't called in that favor. Or if I just watched my step that night maybe you and Carly would be happy now.-

-It wasn't your fault.-

-It wasn't yours either. I know the pain it caused you and the insanity it cause your brother. It will never be changed by I'm sorry's and it's my fault. Sonny I see you and Alexis and know there something there a connection that meant something to the both of you. Get past your anger and get it back or you'll regret it now more then ever.-

-I wouldn't know how, I betrayed her Elizabeth I let Carly's manipulation and lies get in the way of my better judgment. I was just so lost and so angry and the fury in Alexis eyes only reflects the same pain I inflicted on her then.-

-Then help her get past that.-

-How?-

-I get the feeling know one knows Alexis better then you do. You know but you're scared of her.- She said in a smile in her eyes.

-Stronger then most men you damn right.- He said smiling at her, her smile faded.

-I'm scared myself.- Elizabeth sighed.

-You are going to be a great Slayer what ever that entails, I know you are.-

-Thanks.- She said kissing him and hugging him.

Just then Nicolas walked in.

-Ric's home and worried about you Jason went to get him. Alexis left said something about still look....AH Sonny?-

Elizabeth looked at him he had that look in his eyes.

-She never left the island what shes looking for is here. Call my mother.-

Sonny ran out of the room Elizabeth reached for the phone. His mind shows him the path he had to take. When he came to the edge of the cliffs he notice something he was sure wasn't there before a make shift stairway leading down he saw a glint in the darkness of the walk. It was a short sword Alexis he was sure, he found its twin embedded in the stone he pulled hard on it but it wouldn't come loose, he left it, the ocean crashed against the rock soaking him, at the end of the step was a landing into a cave.

That's how he found her, it held Alexis six feet in the air, a male on hind legs. Its tentacles squeezing the life out of her. He looked for a ways to hit so it would let her go but he knew he couldn't. Sonny did the only thing he could, he tossed her the sword, Alexis cut off the tentacles and reached for Sonny and they headed deeper into the cave. It got darker and darker but he said nothing feeling Alexis hand on his back.

-Keep going.-

He heard the roar of the beast and kept running forward until he was thigh deep in water. Something moved passed him and his stomach lurched with the smell. Sonny reached into his pocket for something anything. -You don't smoke.- In the gleam of light he saw a torch, odd as it as it was he simply grabbed it and snapped the rocks next to it until it lit.

-Oh Christ.-

He was in what looked like a pit of water filled with blue rounded bumps in eggs thousands of them. Sonny slowly backed out of the pool but he could hear Alexis and the thing coming. He waves the torch around looking for another way out he looked to where the small amount of moon light was coming from a shaft not big enough for a child. Just as he was about to go out and suggest another direction Alexis came flying through the entrance in right to the middle of the pool.

Sonny looked around Alexis hadn't popped up yet. He heard the screeching of the eggs and swallowed diving into the pool. He reached around and swam around more space under the floating eggs. He grabbed her hand but something was off as he swam back to the top another male in human form come up with him. It was about to attack when Alexis came up behind it and cut off its head. Then it got quite.

They looked around, slowly making there way toward each other. Once back to back Alexis held up her sword and tried to focus on one point in the room. All she could hear now as Sonny's breathing, then without a noise Sonny went under. Alexis called out his name he popped up. -Help.- She went under with him and swung the sward at the tentacle hoping it wasn't a leg. She pulled Sonny up they returned to the back to back position. Ten little heads popped up and blinked at them.

-Little boys no older then Michael.-

-We're in the birthing chamber.-

-So they're?- Sonny swallowed.

A little head turned blue and screeched. Sonny ducked under the water and Alexis cut it's off. He came back up and looked at her.

-We have to get out of here. Back the way we came.-

The slowly made there way to the ledge where Alexis felt something on her leg she reached down and pulled out a bone a large one.

-Oh god it was a killer whale.- Sonny looked at it.

-As in Free Willy?-

-Yes.- Alexis made a grossed out face and climbed until waist deep in the pit.

Sonny reach for the torch and check to see if the guard was still there. No signs Sonny smelled his hands.

-Alexis get out of there.-

She climbs out a small body jumped at her she cut it in half. Sonny dropped the torch into the pit and it caught on fire. Egg burst and small bodies screech larger ones began to surface. In the light of the fire Alexis saw two cave entrances no doubt to the tunnels of Spoon Island. They ran down the corridor to the exit when eight tiny spines went into there back.

-Not again.-

It didn't take long for her to realize it wasn't poisonous but a knock out to get their food into the layer without a fight. Alexis and Sonny looked at each other and ran as fast as they could before the drug could take effect making it nearly to the top. Sonny passed out Alexis screamed for Adella. Hoping her mentors sixth sense would kick in, it did she felt Adella hand on her cheek as the pit exploded.

-What the hell was that?-

-I don't know but I don't like it. Let's get off this island. I suggest you get your people off to.-

Nicolas gave orders to evacuate the island and they speeded back to Port Charles.

-There doesn't seem to be anyplace safe for us.-

-Split up.-

-So they can pick us off one by one. No mother.- Ric said in anger.

-Ric listens to me. Alexis and I need to face this thing but we have to wait, why because we need to catch that thing and her helpers red handed. That means we have to divide up. Elizabeth has to be sent away.-

-We'll disappear.- Ric said.

-You can't Jason has to take her.-

-What? Out of the question.- Ric snapped.

-Ric you have to stay here the evil law firm will be watching. Besides Jasons a fighter I know he'll protect Elizabeth and the baby. Alexis and Sonny need the medical attention in L.A. Nicolas and Emily need to take a honeymoon until this is over.- Adella said.

-Not going to happen!- the three said at once.

Adella growled.

-You do what I say or swear to god I feed you to it!-

-No!- Ric said.

-Adella!-

She turned to see Jax coming toward her.

-Papi? What are you doing here?-

-Hope you weren't in the middle of this mess.-

-Well I was. Ah Papi?-

-Yes.-

-You think you can send Elizabeth and Jason someplace warm.-

-Why can't they go to Sonny casino in Puerto Rico?-

Adella blink and looked at Jason who nodded.

-Sounds like a plan. I'll get Elizabeth to the airport.-

-I'm going with her.- Ric said.

-NO Ric you have to stay here.-

-Mother.-

-Don't. Make. Me. Hurt. You.-

Ric swallowed and kissed Elizabeth deeply.

-The hell I put your family through won't compare if anything happens to them.- Ric told Jason.

-Nothing will happen to them.-

-See to it.-

Adella snorted.

-Why don't you piss on a tree while you're at it. Men.-

Jason and Elizabeth disappeared into the night, Adella patted her sons back. Ric looked after her and Jason.

-I just lost the only women I loved mother.-

-No baby.-

-She's always loved him they'll reconnect I know they will. Who will I love then?-

-The women you where suppose to baby boy the women you suppose to. Okay let's get these two L.A.-

L.A.

Illrya ran with them to the medical room. Checking them over carefully she finally turns to the worried group.

-They're fine it will wear off in a couple of hours.-

The group breathed a sigh or relief. Angel headed to the office he had to see her in person. Adella she was more beautiful then the last time he remembered seeing her. They where suppose to met talk about what was next for the both of them. He was supposed to start his future 31 years ago. She smiled dimples and teeth and he remembered the pang he used to feel for her. She hugged him putting her face into his neck.

-I can't believe I ever forgot you.-

-Hmm. Well I'm glad to know that I'm not the unforgettable.-

-Your not the type.-

She pulled back and looked at the pictures.

-She must have been something else. Alexis said you seem devastated.-

-She was, god she reminds me of you. She was good mother to.-

-What?-

-I.. Didn't mean to.-

-Angel?-

-I have a son don't ask how but I do. When I took this job I made him and everyone else forget.-

-Why on earth would you do that?-

-He was so unhappy he wanted to die and take her with him. I wanted him to live a normal life.-

-I can see that but Angel he should know his mother is dead.-

-I can't bring him that pain Adella. Enough on this lets talk about you.-

-Nothing to talk about start 31 year ago and fast forward to now. That's my life.-

-But?-

-Natasha and Michael share a child and hate each other. Michael's attached to a witch that will only bring him down. Ric may have just lost his wife and baby to her true love, Courtney needs a mother without her own self interest at heart. Mike and I need to deal with some stuff. I want to get to know my grandbabies and a vampire need me. I leave anything out?-

-No.-

-This sucks big time. I go back after this I know it.-

-Adella you still don't know what brought you here.-

-That crystal, no more bullshit Angel bring the guys who set us up down. I need to get my family in order and make sure my grandchildren are safe.-

-Adella.-

-There it is.-

-What?-

-That Adella have patients don't raise holy hell voice. Natasha tried it and lost.-

Angel regarded her. He picked up the phone and called Harmony. Ten minutes later Buffy walked in.

-Adella Corinthos, Buffy Summers.-

-So your what the fuss it all about.- Adella said Buffy blinked

-Yeah I guess I am. You're the one who clams that the Council has betrayed you.- Dripping with sarcastism.

-Listen to me you snotty half wit. Don't ever talk to me like I'm an idiot again, I've been in this game longer then you sister. That spell zapped me and not the demon, Natasha was a potential she couldn't handle that thing which it was stronger then us by the way. The Council had an agenda replacing us. Slayers like you and me who don't fallow the rules. Now you turn on your own. You sure she's the great Slayer.-

By now Buffy was fuming.

-You can get out now.-

-Angel?-

-I asked you to do your job the first thing you do is call her a liar.-

-I didn't say that.-

-No being rude is common occurrence.-

Buffy sighed.

-I'm sorry it's just all over whelming.-

-Tell that to my fucking family! I don't give a shit about your problems or your lack of will to do your job I want justice give me Prices head on a platter.-

-What?-

-Price Sr.-

-Wesley father behind this?-

-The man be disgruntled about how we Slayers of the new generation do things he wanted to get rid of me its tradition you know.-

-What?-

-Read the chronicles. When a Slayer got out of hand she was pitted against an enemy she was never prepared for and killed in the hope that the next will co-operate that's why none of us live past our teen years. That's when we realized how truly powerful we are. From the look on your face you know what I'm talking about.- She said to Buffy.

-So they kill us?-

-Yes. I had a son and life and I wasn't going to do it their why anymore and I started Natasha out young. Price was livid.-

-Son of a Bitch!-

Buffy began to pace.

-Okay fine I get the evidence you need and bring them all to justice. I swear on my sisters head. Angel?-

-I deal with W&H.-

-We'll deal with the demon.-

Buffy stormed out of the office and the building. Adella turned to Angel and smiled.

-One down.-

-Two to go.-

Alexis woke up to Kristina giggling she assumed it was Spike playing with her but when she walked into her room Sonny was sitting on the blanket with her tickling and talking to her in Spanish. Sonny could see the rage on her face, he picked her up and she put her cubby hand on his face and smiled. Alexis walked away not saying a word. -What do you think Mi Amour have I won the first battle or has the war only just begun?- Kristina smiled. -The battle defiantly.-
