Chapter Two � �Forbidden Memories� Note: This story is on an all together different time line. Lucky is fifteen has been living with Cassadines for ten years. I writing it because a friend of mind and I were talking about what could bring Nik and Lucky together as friends. Works been boring so my mind started wonder as you read that could be a bad thing, but who cares right. The ones who say they are normal are the ones who worry me. Lucky opened the box and brought out all the letters and birthday cards he has received over the years. �I�m only allowed to here from them on holidays and birthdays. They never say too much, but they are all I have to link me to my parents. And the way those two change their minds sometimes. I thought they would be safer here,� he said handing the letters and cards over to Stefan. Stefan noticed that Lucky�s hands were trembling with fear and a little apprehension. He took the letters and laid them gently down on the bolder. �Let�s see more. I�m curious of what you have hidden away and don�t worry this will stay between you, me, and Nikolas. Of course you can trust Alexis,� he said smiling at Lucky. �These are Letters I write to them. Telling them everything that has happened to me over the past ten years. I started it about five years ago. I didn�t remember much from the early years but the others contain almost everything that is important.� Lucky stopped to see what Stefan would say or do. To his surprise, Stefan just smiled and motioned him to go on. �Remember when Stavros let me keep one present from my parents on my eleventh birthday and I chose the figure of Han Solo from Star Wars. He almost popped a blood vessel. He never understood why? The reason was very simple. It was the one thing that reminded me of my father. Han and Luke to me are a lot alike and one day, he will save me from this place. I know it. If I didn�t believe that, there would be nothing for me to live for.� Lucky said laying the figure and the notebook down on the letters. Lucky took out a small wooden box with a simple silver plate with �Laura� engraved on top. He slowly ran his fingers across the top tracing each letter. Nik gave me this about a month ago. He found it with a bunch of stuff that used to belong to my mother when she was here. Stavros gave them to him and said he could do with them as he saw fit. Nik picked a few keepsakes out and threw the rest away. He thought I might like something that used to belong to her. I hide it here because I�m afraid of what Stavros would say if he knew I had it. Last are those drawings. Most of them are of my mother. I know what she looks like from the painting that Nik has. I have changed it around a little but it is still her. The drawing you saw was the first time I ever tried my father.� Lucky sat down the box and waited for Stefan�s reaction. �Your wise to hid them here. Stavros and Helena would not understand any of this and they would make you pay for think of you parents but unlike them I understand. I even understand your wish about being saved by your father. Maybe someday it will come true. Until them we better get back its getting late and supper not to long off and if we are late. We both have had it.� Stefan said placing items back into the box and closing the lid. Go get your other stuff and I�ll put this back. Then will head down.� When Stefan was sure Lucky wasn�t looking. He opens the box and pulled out the notebook of the letters to his parents and hid it under his topcoat. Chapter 3 Back to Lucky's Hell |
