"Listen to me, Eve. Put the gun down." Ivy couldn't believe that Eve had stooped this low. She was staring at her with eyes full of rage and continued to point the gun at her.

"No, Ivy. The only way for my family to stay together is for me to kill you." Eve said as she prepared to pull the trigger. Ivy closed her eyes as she waited to die. All of the sudden, there was a knock at the door. Ivy exhaled and Eve stared down at the gun. She couldn't believe that she was about to take another person's life. She was a doctor and she was supposed to save lives. Ivy walked over to the door and opened it. She was surprised to see Sam and Grace standing there.

"Sam, Grace, what are you doing here?" Ivy asked them.

"I have some papers for Julian." Sam told her as he handed them to her.

"Ivy, are you okay? Your hands seem a little shaky." Grace said as she noticed how nervous and almost frightened Ivy seemed.

"I'm fine. I haven't eaten anything all day." She lied. Grace seemed to buy it, but Sam didn't. He knew her too well. "Would you like to come in?" Grace and Sam nodded and then Ivy led them inside to the living room, where Eve was. Ivy wasn't about to stay alone with Eve.

"Hi, Eve, I didn't realize you were here." Grace said as she went up to her best friend. They all hear the front door open and moments later Ethan walks inside.

"Ethan, Darling, where have you been? I've been trying to call you up at the cabin but there was something wrong with the phones." Ivy said as she went up to her son and hugged him.

"You worry too much, Mother. I'm fine. There was an avalanche and the phone lines were down." Ethan reassured her.

"Thank God nothing happened to you. You know that I couln't live without you in my life, Honey." Ethan smiled at her.

"Did anyone get hurt from the avalanche?" Sam asked him, worrying about his daughters.

"Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald was hurt, but he's okay now. Other than that, everyone was fine. By the way, have you heard anything from Sheridan, Mother?"

"I talked to her once when she first arrived but that was it. She didn't seem happy there, even though she pretended that she was."

"I knew she wouldn't be. I'm going to call her and see how she's doing." Ethan said as he went over to the phone. Ivy turned to Grace and Sam.

"Can I get either of you something to drink?"

"No, thank you." Sam said.

"I'll have some water, please." Grace told her. Ivy went over to the bar and poured her a glass of water and then handed it to her. After Ethan hung up the phone he looked very upset.
"Ethan, what's the matter?" Ivy asked him.

"It's Sheridan. When I called her hotel a police officer answered. He said that she's been taken to a safe house because two hit men are after her."

"What? Oh my God. I hope she's alright." Ethan began to walk off. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Paris."

"There is no way I'm letting you go to Paris by yourself. If Sheridan is in danger than anyone she knows could wind up in danger as well. I'm going with you, Ethan."

"Okay. I'm going to go pack." And with that, Ethan went up the stairs. Grace turned to Sam.

"Honey, I don't think they should go by themselves. It could be dangerous. Why don't you go with them, Sam?" Grace pleaded with her husband.

"Grace, I don't think that's neccesary."

"Come on, Sam, do it for me. You don't want Ethan and Ivy to be in danger, do you?"

"No. I guess you're right. I'll go with them."

"Great. You talk to Ivy and I'm going to go home and pack you a suitcase." Grace gave him a kiss on the cheek and then left with Eve. Sam went over by Ivy, who was on the phone, and waited for her to get off.

"Yes, I want to leave in an hour. Make sure the jet is fueled and ready to go to Paris. Thanks, Bye." Ivy hung up the phone and then saw Sam.

"I'm not letting you and Ethan go alone. I'm going with you."

"You don't need to do that, Sam. We'll be fine."

"It's not an option, Ivy. You two could get yourselves into a lot of danger. I'm going and that's final." Ivy looked into his eyes and it was obvious that he meant business.

"Alright, Sam, you can come. Meet me and Ethan at the airport in an hour."

"Great. I'll see you then."
<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@
*At the Airport*
Ivy, Ethan, and Theresa arrived at the airport first and boarded the Crane jet. After Sam had left the mansion, Theresa and Pilar showed up for work. Ivy told Pilar that she and Ethan were going to Paris and suggested that Theresa go along. Pilar was reluctant to agree, but decided to let her when she heard that Sam was going, as well. Theresa and Ethan sat down on the seats across from Ivy. After a couple of minutes, Sam boarded.

"Is everyone ready?" He asked them as he took a seat next to Ivy.

"Yup, all set. Buckle up, we're going to Paris." <3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@
*Meanwhile...In Paris*
"Luis, you don't have to protect me. Just go back to Harmony and I will be perfectly fine." Sheridan was being stubborn and she knew it. But she couldn't help it. Her pride sometimes got the best of her.

"Fine, Sheridan, if that's what you want. Have a nice life." Luis said as he left and slammed the door behind him. He just wanted to keep her safe from harm, but she wouldn't let him. He went to the airport and bought himself a ticket. As he waited for his flight to be called, it felt like a familiar scene to him. He was getting that feeling again. This time he didn't wait for it to get worse. He got up and headed back to Sheridan's hotel room. <3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@ After Luis had left, Sheridan decided that she needed some fresh air. She wandered around the streets of Paris for over a half hour and just got lost in its beauty. All of the sudden, someone grabbed her from behind and kept her mouth covered. She tried to scream, but it was no use. She was blindfolded and put into a car, so she didn't see the face of her assailant. She didn't know where she was being taken. Finally, the car stopped and someone picked her up. There was something rather familiar about this and odd at the same time. Whoever had kidnapped her wasn't being rough with her at all. He was being rather gentle. She was set down and her blindfold was taken off. She couldn't believe her eyes. Luis had kidnapped her!

Chapter 2

"What the hell are you doing, Luis?!" Sheridan yelled, rage filling her voice.
"I'm sorry I kidnapped you, Sheridan, but I couldn't risk your life. I won't let them hurt you and I WILL protect you." Luis said, sitting down next to her.
"I don't understand you, Luis. One minute you're kind, gentle. The most amazing man on earth. But the next minute you're cold and cruel." She said sadly.
"Why do you keep saying that? Damnit, Sheridan, just tell me what I did to you!" Sheridan stared into his eyes. Something told her that he really didn't know what he did wrong. But her pride stepped up and pushed that thought away.
"No! Just let me go!"
"I can't let you go! You're all that matters to me!" He couldn't believe he said that outloud. He was about to correct himself, but he knew he couldn't change what he said.
<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@
*On the Plane*
The plane was only in the air for an hour before Ethan and Theresa fell asleep. Theresa's head was lying on Ethan's shoulder and his head was leaned against hers. Sam and Ivy were both awake, but silence filled the plane. Ivy took off her seatbelt and went to the mini refrigerator to grab herself a drink. She looked over at Sam before returning to her seat.
"Would you like something to drink?"
"Sure, just water." Ivy nodded and grabbed him some bottled water and then she came back to her seat. She handed him his drink and then stared off into space.
"Thank you, Ivy." Sam watched her for awhile. He finally broke the silence. "Do you think Sheridan is okay?" She turned and looked at him.
"I hope so. She's been through a lot. All she wants is to find true love, and I think she's found it in Luis."
"But I thought she was angry with Luis."
"She is and for a good reason. But it's not his fault or hers."
"What are you talking about?" Sam was getting suspicious. Ivy realized that she was saying too much.
"Nevermind, it's not important." She changed the subject. "I think I'm going to try and get some rest. Night, Sam."
"Night." She laid her head back in her seat and closed her eyes. Moments later, she was sound asleep. Her sleeping body fell to the left, which was where Sam was sitting, and Sam held her up. He lifted up the armrest that divided their seats and brought Ivy's head down to lie in his lap. He watched her peacefully sleep and a smile spread across his lips. He heard a noise, and then looked up and noticed that it was Ethan waking up.
"My Mother looks so peaceful. She must have been tired." He whispered, not wanting to wake her or Theresa up.
"Yes, she does." Sam looked down at her for a moment and then looked up at Ethan. "Your Mother really loves you, you know." Ethan smiled at his comment.
"I know she does. I couldn't ask for a better Mother. But I could ask for a better Father." He said jokingly. He and Sam started laughing.
"I'll be honest with you. I don't exactly like Julian." Sam admitted.
"Sometimes I don't like him. Especially for what he does to my Mother. She deserves someone so much better."
"What do you mean?"
"You probably already knew this, but he cheats on her. I know that she doesn't really love him, but she doesn't deserve to be married to someone like him. She once talked about a great love of her life and I just wish that she could find that man again." Sam knew who Ethan was talking about. It was him. He could see the pain in Ethan's eyes as he talked about wanting his Mother to be happy.
<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@
"What did you just say?" Sheridan asked Luis. She wasn't sure if she had heard him correctly. 'Did he just say that I am all that matters to him'? She asked herself.

"I'm not going to deny my feelings any longer, Sheridan. I came to Paris to get you back. You came into my life just as quickly as you tried to leave it. But I'm not going to let that happen. When I thought that you might be in danger, I felt my heart break. I don't think I can live another day without you in my life. What I'm trying to say is that I love you."

Chapter 3

*On the Plane*
"Have you lived in Harmony all your life?" Ethan asked Sam.

"I was born and raised here, but I left for awhile." Sam began, thinking about the time he had to leave when Ivy married Julian because he was too heartbroken. "I only came back because Grace wanted to."

"Did you ever know my Mother back then? Cause I was thinking that I could find whoever this 'great love of her life' was and see what really happened between them. Maybe there's still love there, and if there is, maybe they could get back together." Sam tensed up. What was he supposed to say to Ethan? That he was the 'great love of her life'? Before he could answer anything, the plane experienced some minor turbulance, but it was enough to jolt Ivy and Theresa out of their sleep. Theresa lifted her head up off of Ethan's shoulder and smiled at him. Ivy was extremely surprised to be sleeping in Sam's lap. As she was trying to sit up, the plane experienced more turbulance, causing her to grab ahold of Sam's thigh for support. After the plane was back on track, she still had her hand there without even realizing it. Sam and Ivy looked down at her hand at the same time and she quickly removed it. Ivy looked over at Ethan and Theresa. There was something different about them. She saw a twinkle in both of their eyes as they looked at each other.

<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@

Sheridan stared at Luis in confusion. He just said that he loved her, but it was still hard for her to believe.

"You love me?" She asked, her eyes lighting up. Luis went over to her and held her hands in his.

"Yes, Sheridan, I love you more than life itself. I would NEVER hurt you or let anything happen to you. I want to spend every waking moment with you and be the last person on your mind when you go to sleep. You complete my soul." Sheridan was in tears.

"No one has ever said anything like that to me before." She flung her arms around him and whispered "I love you, too, Luis." Luis held her for what seemed like hours.

<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@

"I need to get something to drink." Ivy said as she undid her seatbelt and stood up. She wasn't thirsty at all, but she needed an excuse to get away from Sam. He was making her extremely nervous and she couldn't stand being so close to him and not being able to run her hands all over his body. She would do it, whether he liked it or not, if Ethan and Theresa weren't there. Before she can get to the refrigerator, the plane begins to jolt again, sending Ivy falling. She stood up and made her way back to her seat, but then things got worse.

"What's going on?" Theresa asked, beginning to get scared.

"I think it's just turbulance." Sam said, trying to reassure her. But then all of the sudden, the plane began to nosedive....

Chapter 4

"Oh God, we're going to die!" Ivy screamed as she held on to one of the seats as the plane went further down. Sam saw that she was struggling to hold on, so he undid his seat belt and carefully made his way to her. Ivy was startled when he grabbed her by the waist in order to secure his balance. He held on to her tighter as she held on to the seat.

Theresa was so scared that she was crying, so Ethan wrapped his arms around her as they sat in their seats. All of the sudden, the plane crashed.....
<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@
As Luis held her, Sheridan began to remember what Luis had said on the wharf. It didn't make sense why he would say those things, yet risk his life countless times to save her. And now he said he loved her and she could see it in his eyes that he really did. Maybe she was wrong about what she heard at the wharf. Luis saw that she was deep in thought and wondered what it was about.

"Sheridan?" He called out her name a couple of times before she finally looked up at him.

"Yeah?"

"Where were you just now? You seemed like you were a million miles away."

"I was just thinking about why I turned on you and I think it's time to tell you the truth."
<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@
The plane was split into three pieces when it hit the ground. The front of the plane hit first and the force of the impact caused it to crack. The other piece flew and when it hit, it cracked into two pieces. The pilot was in one part, Ethan and Theresa in another, and Sam and Ivy in the last piece.

Theresa opened her eyes and felt the pain rush to her head. She touched her head and then noticed that she had blood on her fingers. "I must have cut my head." She thought to herself. Then she remembered Ethan. When they they were tossed out of their seats and they went flying in separate directions. Theresa had hit her head and it knocked her out. She carefully stood up and couldn't believe what the crash had done to the plane. She had to climb over things to make it anywhere. "Ethan?" She called out as she looked for him. Then she saw a hand. She ran over to where it was and moved the wreckage that was covering the body. It was Ethan. She panicked when she saw that he was unconscious. She put her ear up to his chest and could her his heart breathing. She gently touched his face and continued calling out his name. All of the sudden Ethan's eyes started to open. His vision was blury and he was kind of out of it.

"Are you an angel?" He asked her as he reached his hand up to touch her face. Theresa smiled.

"No, Ethan, it's Theresa. We were in a plane crash." Ethan looked at her with a confused look on his face.

"Theresa...that's such beautiful name."

"Thank you." Theresa blushed. Ethan carefully sat up, still looking into her eyes. He still had his hand on her face and then he pulled her into a passionate kiss.
<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@
Sam opened his eyes and he could feel an intense pain shoot through his body, especially through his legs. He looked around and realized that he was trapped with Ivy underneath him. When the plane was crashing, they held onto each other and neither would let go. When the plane hit, things went flying and something landed on top of their legs, making it impossible for either one to get away. He looked down at Ivy and saw that her eyes were closed and that she had a huge gash on her head. Sam tore off a piece of his shirt and placed it on the cut, applying pressure to stop the bleeding. With his other hand he caressed her face.

"Ivy? Please wake up." She began to stirr and then her eyes opened. She looked up at Sam.

"Was I dreaming or were we just in a plane crash?"

"We were in a plane crash and now we're trapped. Something landed on top of our legs."

"Oh my God, where are Ethan and Theresa?!" Ivy panicked as she remembered that they were on the plane as well.

"Ivy, calm down. I don't know where they are. I would get up to go find them, but we're kinda stuck here. It's not going to help either one of them by panicking. We need to stay calm and figure a way put of this."
<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@
Luis looked at Sheridan with a surprised look on his face. He didn't think Sheridan would ever tell him.

"Okay, I'm listening." Sheridan took a deep breath and sat up. Luis sat up as well and waited for her to start.

"After out kiss that night on the wharf, I went back. I saw that you were on the phone and I was about to leave, but I heard my name. I heard the horrible things you were saying. You said that you intended to use me and called me a spoiled princess. That's why I slapped you. I said those things to you about you being my 'boy toy' because I didn't want you to know that you had hurt me so bad. I now know that I couldn't have heard that, that it was some kind of mistake. Can you ever forgive me, Luis."

"I don't know if that's possible." Luis began as he took in everything that Sheridan said. "How could you think that I would say something like that? After we kissed, I went back to the station and then I went home. You could have just asked me and we could have settled this whole thing."

"But Luis, I--" Sheridan began, but Luis cut her out.

"I don't want to hear it right now. If you couldn't trust me enough to ask me, than I don't see how this relationship is going to work. I have to get out of here." And with that, Luis left a shocked Sheridan alone. After he shut the door, she collapsed on the floor in tears. She heard someone knock on the door. She jumped up, hoping it was Luis coming back. But when she opened the door, she was in for an even bigger surprise...

"Hello, Sheridan, it's time to die." Roger said as he held a gun to her head.
<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@<3<@
After Ethan pulled away from the kiss, Theresa stared at him. She couldn't believe he just did that. Ethan was the first to speak.

"Why do you look so surprised? You are my girlfriend, aren't you?" Theresa was very confused.

"You mean, you don't remember me?"

"I remember your face, and only your face. But I can't remember anything else. Where are we?"
