Second Chances : Chapter Five

"Starr, why are you crying?" Michael asked.

"It's nothing, Michael. I just wish we'd get there. I hope we can rescue Cole and Hope," Starr stated as she looked out the window.

"We are going to rescue them. I promise you that we will not stop until you have been reunited with your family," Michael said. It was killing him, knowing that keeping his promise to Starr might end up costing him her, but he couldn't let her down again.

"What was that?" Starr asked as there was a loud noise and the plane started shaking.

XOXOXO

"Why were you in the bathroom so long?" John asked.

"I was in the bathroom a long time because I had to take a pregnancy test and it was positive. Congratulations you're a father," Tea said as she smiled.

After she lost Victor she never thought that she would feel complete again, but now she felt whole once again and it was all thanks to John.

"I...I got you pregnant?" John asked.

"Yes, we're going to have a baby," Tea said as she grabbed her hand and placed it on her stomach.

XOXOXO

"What's wrong?" Todd asked.

"I am feeling uneasy about taking you to meet her. Even though she's been eager to meet you, I am not sure what her reaction will be," Marty explained.

"To be honest, I'm a little worried about that myself. I just want what's best for her. I love her so much already and I don't want to upset her."

"Charlotte doesn't like change, so we'll have to be very patient with her while she adjusts," Marty explained to Todd.

"I can do that," Todd said.

"I got the test results back," Patrick announced as he entered the waiting room.

"Can you help Marty?" Todd asked.

XOXOXO

"She needs to be punished," Faison stated as he glared at Charlotte.

"A night with Caleb ought to teach her a lesson she won't soon forget," Irene said as she cackled.

She snapped her fingers and two of her henchman grabbed Charlotte while she screamed.

"Caleb's very hungry my dear, so don't be alarmed if he bites," Irene said to Charlotte as they arrived at his cell.

"Caleb, I brought you a little snack," Irene said as she entered the cell.

Caleb looked at Charlotte with hunger and lust in his eyes as the henchman tied her to the bed.

Charlotte cried out for help as Irene and the guards left. Caleb approached her as his stomach growled...the smell of her blood was far too appetizing to resist.

XOXOXO

Michael tensed as the plane started to shake uncontrollably. There was a terrible sound as one of the engines started to give out. "What's going on?!" Starr cried out.

Just then the pilot of the plane announced that everyone should put on their seat-belts and prepare for a crash landing. "Ohhh my God!" Carly gasped when she realized the plane was about to crash. She jumped into her seat and put on her seat belt. Anna tried to calm everyone, but Starr was crying.

"It's okay, Starr. We'll be alright," Michael said as he reached for her hand.

"Now we'll never rescue my little girl," Starr said sadly.

"We're going down!" AJ yelled as the plane suddenly flipped on it's side in midair.

XOXOXO

"This is wonderful news," John said happily when Tea announced she was pregnant with his baby. "I would like you to move in with me... so we can raise this baby together."

"What?" Tea gasped.

"Tea, I love you..." John implored.

"John, I can't agree to move in with you," Tea told him. "My husband is still alive. We are going to be meeting up with him soon. I still haven't gotten over Victor. I need to talk to him."

"You're making a big mistake," John said.

XOXOXO

"I'm very sorry," said Patrick. "I am afraid I can't help. According to these test results, Marty's tumor is inoperable."

"What?" Todd cried out. "No! Marty can't die! I refuse to let that happen."

"I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do," Patrick stated. He gave them a sympathetic look, then walked away so Marty and Todd could digest the news.

"Let's go," Marty urged Todd. "I need to see Charlotte."

She grabbed Todd's hand and lead him away toward the elevator. Once they got outside and entered his car, Marty started crying. "I can't die, Todd," she sobbed. "I can't leave Charlotte."

"Ohhh baby," he said as he took her in his arms to hold and soothe her. Tenderly he caressed her hair as he kissed away her tears. "I love you... and I will be here for you, no matter what. I refuse to let you die."

"Wh- what will we do?" Marty asked.

"We'll find another doctor after we visit Charlotte. We'll fly to Europe if we have to... but I won't stop until I save your life," Todd said with determination.

XOXOXO

"Please don't hurt me," Charlotte whimpered as Caleb neared her in the tiny cell.

"It's alright, little one. I won't hurt you. You're going to enjoy this very much," Caleb stated as he caressed her hair. Charlotte wasn't able to move or escape him because she was bound to the bed.

Caleb used his vampire magic to place Charlotte under a spell so she would not be scared. "You will be mine," he said as he unzipped his pants and lowered himself over her. Due to his magic, Charlotte wanted him just as much as he wanted and needed her. He sunk his fangs into her neck as he began to make sweet love to her.

Charlotte gasped as Caleb took her virginity. It hurt, but there was also pleasure in the pain. Despite the bonds, she arched up to him to take him deeper into her virginal body. "When you wake up, you won't remember this," Caleb whispered as he climaxed and held the beautiful girl in his arms.

When Charlotte awoke later, she saw a handsome man lying on the cot next to her. She realized she was naked and lying in his arms.
