Second Chances : Chapter Six

"Are you okay?" A.J. asked Carly when the plane crashed onto an island.

"I think so," Carly said as she stood up.

"Michael, are you okay?" Carly asked frantically as she looked around.

"I'm okay, but Starr's not," Michael said as he held Starr in his arms.

XOXOXO

"John, you aren't in love with me. You sleep with anything that moves. I was just your flavor of the month," Tea stated.

"That's not true...well maybe it started out that way, but things have changed. I have fallen in love with you and I will do anything to prove that to you."

"If you love me then you'll give me space so that I can figure out where I stand with Victor," Tea stated.

"Don't you love me?" John asked.

XOXOXO

"Right now Charlotte is the most important thing. I need to prepare her for whatever happens. She needs to meet you...so that if anything does happen to me, she has someone to love her and take care of her," Marty said.

"I'm going to love Charlotte and she will always be taken care of, but nothing's going to happen to you, I won't let it," Todd stated as his phone began to ring.

"Hello," Todd said answering his phone.

"I know where Charlotte is, but I will only give you her location if you give me what I want," the caller stated.

XOXOXO

Charlotte looked at the handsome man lying next to her. She knew that she should feel frightened, but she didn't. Instead she felt an intense longing for this stranger, a fluttering feeling began to spread in her lower regions as she leaned down and kissed him.

"Hello Charlotte," Caleb said as he smiled.

"Who are you and why do I feel like you are part of my soul?" Charlotte asked as their kiss faded.

"I am your protector Charlotte, I have watched you and looked after you from afar for your entire life. My name is Caleb and you are very special to me as well," Caleb explained.

"Will you make love to me?" Charlotte asked.

"I love you Charlotte and I want to make love to you, but I need to ask you something first," Caleb stated.

"What is it?" Charlotte asked.

XOXOXO

Michael was frantic as a large potion of the plane was lying over Starr. There was twisted metal everywhere and he wasn't able to lift the heavy potion of the wing off of Starr. "Help me!" Michael cried out as he saw Starr clinging to life. "I can't lose Starr!"

"We'll help you, Son," AJ promised. "Starr is gonna be alright."

Anna and Robert were lying on the beach. Both were dazed after the plane crash, but thankfully they were both uninjured. "Where are the other passengers?" Robert asked frantically. "Anna, are you alright?"

"I'm alright, Robert," Anna said as she gently kissed him. Her hair was a tangled mess and dangling into the water near the shore. She sat up and accessed the situation.

"I hear someone calling out for help!" Robert cried out.

Xxxxoooo

"I don't know how I feel," Tea stated. "I had a lot of fun with you, but maybe that's all it was."

"What?" John gasped with pain in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, John. I really thought I loved you at first, but then Victor returned... and my heart wants to be reunited with him."

"But what about our baby?"

"I promise you will always be a part of our child's life," said Tea. "Just let me talk to Victor... and try to work things out with him. He's my husband."

"Alright," John sighed with reluctance. He wanted Tea and their child, but he knew her heart was still bonded with Victor. He could only hope that she would change her mind and want to be with him.

The remainder of the flight, John and Tea were silent. They arrived in Switzerland and met Victor at the airport. "Victor!" Tea gasped as she threw herself into his arms. "I've missed you so much."

She started to cry as she looked at him, then her gaze settled on John. "There's so much we have to talk about," she said.

Xxxxoooo

Todd's eyes got huge when he heard the voice on the phone. "Who the hell is this?" he demanded.

"Awwww, Son. Don't you recognize the voice of your mother?" Irene taunted.

"Irene! It can't be you! You're dead!" he gasped.

"Afraid not, Todd. You didn't kill me. I have nine lives, just like a cat," she said with an evil chuckle. "Now... about Charlotte, I know where she is."

"What have you done with Charlotte?" Todd asked with fear in his heart.

"I took her... and I am playing a little game with her right now," Irene stated. "If you want her alive and well, you will give me what I want."

Todd glanced over at Marty who was listening to the conversation with fear in her eyes. He knew she would crumble if anything happened to Charlotte. After losing Cole and Hope, Charlotte was all she had, and Marty's health was swiftly deteriorating. They had to find Charlotte... NOW!

"What is it you want?" Todd asked. "I will give you ANYTHING... just don't hurt her."

Xxxxoooo

Caleb tenderly kissed Charlotte on the lips. "If we make love again, you must agree to become my wife. We'll be married and eventually you will give birth to my child," Caleb stated. "Do you agree?"

"Yes," Charlotte said with a smile. "But will I become a vampire like you?"

"You remember last night... when we made love and I drank from you?" Caleb asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I remember everything."

"I used my vampire magic and I told you to forget," said Caleb. "For some reason, my spell did not work. My powers must not work with you as it has on all the others."

"That's because I love you, and I want be with you, too."

A smile of contentment came to Caleb's face. "I will keep you safe... and as soon as we get out of here, we'll get married and we'll start working on our family. And if you want to become a vampire later, that is fine. What do you want?" Caleb asked. "Would you like to become my vampire bride?"
