Chapter 14

*Sam*

"Finally, what a day." Sam says as she climbs into bed. Between the events at Silas' house and the football game with the guys, she was beat. But it was a happy tired. She thoroughly enjoyed the game. Every time the ball went into the air, Danny squealed with joy. And he got to taste his first chili dog, courtesy of Silas. Rafe had a blast finally being out with both of them for a change. "Silas' relationship with is growing better by the day." Sam thinks to herself. She starts to smile as she thinks about Silas. Sam believed this was the start of something beautiful. She finally got him out of that shell of his. "But how long would it stay like that?" She wonders to herself as she drifts off to sleep.

S&S&S&S&S&S&S&S

Sam wakes up to a pitch black room. She looks around to see what she can make out. Nothing. She quickly jumps off the bed and lands with a thud. "Well at least there's a floor." Sam says as she walks into the darkness. "Hello? Is anyone here? Hellllloooo?" Sam says as she looks around. Suddenly she sees a mirror hanging. "What's this doing here?" Sam asks as she stands in front of it. "Looks like a normal mirror." She starts fixing her hair in the mirror. In a moment she notices something's just not quite right. She looks down and sees she still in her pajamas. But her reflection has on a white dress. "What the…?"

"Don't be alarmed…you're not losing your mind." "Yes I am. My reflection is talking back to me." "Now Samantha, you're smarter than that." Sam stares wide eyed at the lady in the mirror. "Who are you and why do you know my name?" Sam questions. "I know everything about you Samantha. You have 3 sisters, a brother. Your husband's name was Jason Morgan and you have a beautiful son named Daniel or Danny." "Ok…I don't know who the hell you are bit I'm telling you right now come near me and my son and I will kill you." Sam threatens. "Okay first of all, I don't want to harm you or Danny. I actually want to help protect him from what's coming. After all, you did protect my step-son from his deranged father." When the lady says that she steps from behind the mirror. "No…" "Hello Samantha. My name is Olivia or you might know me better as Livvie." Livvie says to a shocked Sam.

"Oh no…this can't be…..Nope (shakes head)" Sam says as she starts to back away. "Samantha stop…" "Stop calling me that! Only one person calls me that." "I know what Silas calls you. I know it all. And yes I am dead." Livvie says. "Then how…?" "Special connection. You have my step son with you. I have to protect you at all cost. And plus you make Silas happy. That's all I ever wanted for him." "Why?" Sam asks. "Not important…" "Ok then, why are you here Olivia? As in why am I seeing you here, now?" Sam asks, still a little freaked. Livvie glares at her. "Don't call me that. Please call me Livvie for the sake of my sanity." She says annoyed. "Call me Sam and we have a deal." "Fine then. To answer your question, yet again I might add I'm here to help protect your love ones from what's to come." "And that is…?" "A dark force that needed to be dealt with a long time ago. A whole bunch of people failed the last time." Livvie says walking towards something. "Failed in what?" "Taking down my husband." Livvie says turning on the lights.

"What the hell is this?" "This is where I keep an eye on things. Making sure things are in order." "Is this heaven or hell?" "Given my track record…neither. Too bad for Heaven and Hell would probably hand over the reins." Livvie laughs. "I know the feeling." "Anyways, I watch the world from here. Keeping things in order as punishment for making the world worse I guess…" "Not following." Sam says. "I've done some terrible things Sam. Things that people would probably deem unforgivable. Do I regret them? Sometimes." Livvie says looking away. "Ok….I understand that. But there must been somebody that didn't think so." Sam says sitting down at the table. "Yes there was. Those boys…..Silas and Caleb." "Stephen." "I met him as Caleb and that's what I've always called him. He always told me that Stephen was a stage name. I didn't know until later after I was dead that it was all lies." "So what drove you to do it?" Sam asks. "Do what?" "You know…off yourself." "Oh that…..Rafe. He was born and I knew what happened to cause that. After he was born, Caleb wanted another child. Something I couldn't give him because I was barren. He wasn't having that so he started losing it…" Livvie says sitting down. "Did he ever hurt you?" "Oh no! Caleb would never put his hands on me. The man you met was not the man I married. That man is long gone."

Livvie looks down. She didn't want to show Sam she was crying. She was stronger than that. "So why you bring me here? What do I need to do?" Sam asks. "You need to warn Silas. Warn him of the impending danger that's ahead." Livvie says getting up and walking towards a dashboard underneath a screen. "What danger? Look just tell me what it is and I can handle it. I'm pretty sure you know what Jason was." Sam says walking towards her. "I know you can but I don't want you handling this alone." "What is it?!" "It's Caleb…he's coming back for Silas and Rafe." Livvie says as Sam looks at her weird. "Livvie, Stephen can't come back. There is no way of that happening." "Yes it is." "No it isn't! Stephen's dead. I saw him die. Two other people saw him die." Sam explains. "Don't you think I know that?! But I'm telling you now, Caleb is coming back. And he's heading for Port Charles." "You're just trying to get us all riled up. He's not there. He's not alive. Why don't you just leave us alone." Sam says as she starts to walk away. Livvie grabs her and turns her around, facing her. "Samantha listen to me! Caleb is coming and you need to be prepared!" "No I don't believe this! Let me go!" Sam says trying to break out her grip. "No! Not until…" Livvie stops as she hears footsteps. "Who's coming?" Sam asks. "Oh no…Sam you have to go. You have to leave before he shows up…" Livvie says backing away. "Before who shows up?" "Never mind that just go! Remember what I told you." Livvie says as she pushes Sam back the way they came. "Livvie!" "GO!"

Sam wakes up abruptly to Rafe looking over her. "Sam are you ok? You were swinging about in your sleep." He says. She looks around to see she was back in her room at her house. "Oh thank goodness. It was only a dream." Sam sighs to herself. "Another dream about my dad?" "No…why? Have you been having them again?" "Here lately I have. They come more frequent now. Like it's a sign or something. I don't know I just tend not to think about them." Rafe says as he hugs Sam. "I'm glad you're okay. And whoever you were fighting in that dream got what they deserve." He laughs as he gets up. "I love you Sam. Goodnight." "Goodnight Rafe. I love you too." She says as he walks out. Sam gets up and goes down the hall to check on Danny. He's sound asleep in his crib. She goes back into her room and lies back down. "Remember what I told you…" Livvie says as it echoes through Sam's head. "Let it go Sam. It was just a weird dream." She says as she falls back to sleep.
