Chapter 65-Don't talk to Strangers

It was Saturday morning and there was no school so Chrissie decided to help out around the house. She made the beds, started the laundry, took out the trash and served breakfast made by herself on her toy oven for her parents, a blueberry muffin for her mother and a plasma fruit muffin for her father. 

She wasn't allowed to use the espresso machine yet or she would have made some lattes for them also.  She hoped that juice would be a good substitute for coffee.

Chrissie:  Good Morning Mother and might I say you are looking lovely this fine morning.  I made some breakfast for you; it is already set out in the dining room.

Starr:  Thank you so much for the lovely breakfast but the answer is still NO.

Chrissie:  Oh come on now, not even a little puppy?  You're a wolf and wouldn't you like another canine in the house?

Starr: I know what canines do to furniture which is why I'm never home on a full moon. We have already discussed this and when you are old enough to take on the responsibility we will talk about it at that time.

Chrissie: But I'm old enough now!  Please Mom, please.

Starr:  The answer is still no.

Chrissie knew that she should not argue with her mother anymore as it would most likely end up with her being grounded.  They were supposed to go to the park with Brooks and Alvaro today so the last thing she wanted to do was spoil that.  She would probably have better luck with her father anyway; usually she could get anything she wanted from him.  She runs over to her father and gave him the biggest hug she could.

Chrissie:  I made you breakfast Daddy because I love you so much.

Nick:  Thank you so much pumpkin and I'm sure I'm going to love it.

Chrissie:  Daddy can I please get a pet of my own.  Pretty please with sugar on top.

Nick:  I'm sorry but your mother and I have discussed this and we think it would be better if you waited until you were older.

Chrissie:  But that is going to be so long, I want one now!

Starr:  OK enough about the pet as that subject is now closed.  Go upstairs and get ready as we have to leave early to pick up Brooks at Grandpa Wolfie's house.  The Kincaid’s will meet us at the park.

After Chrissie runs up to her room Starr and Nick look at each other and laugh.  The day Chrissie has been looking forward to was closer than she knew.  A puppy by the name of Cheech was on his way over to Chrissie and they were saving it as a surprise.  

Nick's niece Grace Solo had a few puppies in the house as Ancha had just given birth to a litter of puppies sired by Vor.  Starr remembered what a good dog Vor was so they asked if they could adopt one of the puppies for Chrissie.  Grace and Jonas happily agreed to send her one but they had to wait for the puppy to be old enough to leave his mother.  Starr and Nick couldn't wait to see the look of on her face when they surprised her with the news.

Later on that same day:

Spring had just sprung and all of Aurora Skies seemed to be enjoying that first warm day of spring at the festival.  It was a perfect day for a family picnic and the Slayers and Kincaid’s who had now become the best of friends were going to take advantage of this beautiful spring day.  Starr never dreamed she would ever have a female friend, but Candace reached out to her during her darkest hours when she needed a friend the most. A picnic lunch was prepared and set out by the parents while the kids went off to play.

The boys decided to play tag but Chrissie didn't feel like chasing after them so she decided to pick some flowers.  

A man by the name of Cecil was watching her and he approached her as soon as she was out of the parents view.   He told her that he couldn't find his kitten and that he needed help to find him. Her parents always warned her not to talk to any strangers but he didn't look like a bad person to her.   He told her how worried he was and she thought about how frightened and alone the poor little kitty was so she decided to help with the search.

There wasn't any lost kitten as Cecil was hired gun was paid to lure Chrissie away.  His intention was not to kidnap Chrissie but to use a magic potion on her.  What the potion did he hadn't a clue and he didn't care.  In his type of work he knew enough not to ask any questions all he needed to do was get the job done and not to be seen.  The fact the she was a little girl didn't matter to him at all, that was not his concern.  The only thing he cared about was getting paid for a job well done.  His plan was to bring her to the other end of the park where he could use the potion and than disappear.

 Lunch was ready so Starr called to the children to come and eat.  The boys came running over quickly as they were famished, but Chrissie was nowhere to be seen. When the boys were questioned they said she went to pick some flowers and they hadn't seen her after that.  Starr and Nick couldn't find Chrissie anywhere so they started to search for their daughter as Candace made a phone call to the police department. Candace stayed with the boys as Spencer went off to help in the search for the little girl.

 All three split up so they both could search in different areas, and Starr was frantic with worry. Starr didn't really take her eyes off of Chrissie that long and she felt as if this was her worst nightmare come true.   She seen her daughter with some strange person and her sixth sense told her that Chrissie was in trouble. 

Cecil lifted his arm to toss the potion at her but he was not fast enough. 

  

Starr was  to reach her in time and push Chrissie out of the line of fire as she found herself right in it.  She fell to the ground unconscious while Chrissie started to cry and tried to wake her mother up.  

When Cecil realized the potion did not hit the intended target he knew this was trouble. His specific instructions were the child and no one else should fall under the spell of the potion though he had no idea why.  If his employers found out about the mistake he was good as dead so he took off like a bat out of hell.  Cecil had no idea that someone was watching the whole incident and he was not getting away that easily.

Spencer who was assisting with the search found both Starr and Chrissie.  He seen Starr on the floor and ran over to give her some medical attention.  Starr's vital signs were fine and from what he could tell here there was nothing medically wrong with her.  He really needed to get her to a hospital to run some test but he knew right away magic was involved.  Spencer picked up his phone and called for an ambulance, but his second call was to Dylan. He asked him to contact the witch's council in hopes to determine the spell Starr fell under as she may have started out the day as a wolf but his sixth sense told him that she was now a human.

The Next Day:

Starr was released from the hospital as there was nothing medically wrong with her besides being extremely weak from some kind of black magic.  Dylan did indeed call Mathilda and she went to see Starr to see if she could determine what kind of spell she fell under.  Mathilda knew immediately that this was a transformation potion that would cure a werewolf of the curse. However it would be fatal to a child especially a vampire child. 

Mathilda explained that she could cast a spell on Starr that would allow her to become a wolf again but the curse needed to be passed back to her within 48 hours.  Starr was born a wolf and wanted to remain one but just as she was ready to pick up the phone to call Grandpa Wolfie, Spencer showed up with some unexpected news.  They took many tests at the hospital and one of them was a pregnancy test which Starr tested positive for.  As she was excited for news of the baby, Mathilda had no choice but to give bad news.  In Starr's condition she would not be able to receive the curse from her Grandfather and the 48 hour period would pass, so Starr would never be able to be a wolf again.

Caleb and Sandi put an APB on the perpetrator who seemed to disappear into thin air. Their efforts to find Cecil were in vain as he was already dead and his body was disposed of.  Cecil's employer was very upset that he botched up the whole plan and he paid for his mistake with his life.  

As Dahlia received the word she was not upset as anticipated.  Maybe her ungrateful daughter would not feel the loss of her granddaughter now as desired, but with her own daughter Starr being turned into a human this was just as effective.   Sandi would outlive her own child and experience the same pain she did when Denny was murdered.  Dahlia moved back to Moonlight Falls satisfied now that thirst for revenge was quenched,  but she never expected little Chrissie would be the one to change all that.  

During the next few months the Slayer family became bigger.  Aunt Hope and Uncle Caleb brought home Cheech and delivered him to an overjoyed Chrissie.  The two became fast friends and were inseparable.

The Slayers were blessed with another little vampire girl, Taylor Abigail Slayer was born. 

Chrissie was the one who brought up the subject they were all thinking of, she wished that her mother would live forever just like the whole family would.

And soon after Chrissie's wish was granted and Dahlia was livid when she found out.

Chapter 61.3-Confessions and Soul Searching

Katherine arrived home to find her Grandparents talking with her father and they all had serious looks on their faces.  She could tell that something bad had just happened and she was about to find out.  Her father asked her to sit down because he needed to ask her some questions since she was a stock broker.  He explained to her that the same mobster who was wanted in the kidnapping of Dylan McIntyre was brought in for the attempted murder of Starr.  Jules asked if she had any idea why they were after Starr's shares in Landgraab Industries as that had been the reason for the attack.

The minute Katherine heard that she broke down in tears, she wanted revenge on Starr but she never dreamed that Denny would go to this extreme.  She never intended for Starr to get hurt or killed.  She told them to call Wolfie and when he got there she confessed everything.

Katherine:  I am so sorry I never thought anyone would get hurt, can you please forgive me.

Wolfie just sat there and listened as anger started to build up inside of him.  Starr was indeed wrong for being cruel to Katherine, and had he known he would have put a stop to it.  That did not excuse Katherine for jeopardizing a company that has been in his family for years.  He paid for her education and this is how she thanked him.  He also knew that he was going to have to find a way to deal with Denny.  He couldn't believe that his own flesh and blood was the head of a mob family who attempted a hostile takeover on his company.

Katherine:  I have more to tell you Landgraab Industries is not out of danger.  Valerie is planning on selling her shares to Denny, but she claims that she has to wait until you die before she can do so.

Wolfie:  There is a clause in my father’s will that says no one can sell their shares unless they have permission from me first.  Valerie knows this and that is why she has to wait.

Katherine:  That meant Starr couldn't sell hers either?

Wolfie: No, she couldn't and she almost paid with her life.  I have to leave now.

Katherine: I am so sorry Wolfie.

Wolfie: Katherine, you made your deal with the devil, now it’s time for me to make mine.

As Wolfie steamed out, Katherine's phone rang.  It was Denny who was obviously very angry and looking to do damage control.  With Johnny in jail his empire was in danger of being destroyed.  He told Katherine if she told anyone about the shares that he wanted to purchase from Starr or anything else that she knew, he would kill her.  Holly and Emmett knew it was Denny on that phone and that he had just threatened her life.  So the next day in order to keep Katherine safe, they sent her through the time portal where no one but them could ever find her.

A few months later at Starr's house:

After everything Starr had gone through, she couldn't figure out what caused her the most pain.  She was drugged and viciously attacked but the physical pain didn't even compare to the emotional scars that she had to live with forever. 

Spencer was married to a girl who was so nice that even she couldn't hate her, she wanted to hate her but couldn't.  Candace was a nurse and she was a kind soul as any nurse would be.  She made it her business to come over every day and check up on Starr.  She wanted to be Starr's friend and she would listen if she wanted to talk about what had happened. Starr couldn't tell her, she couldn't tell anyone what a horrible person she truly was.

Starr never thought that she would ever become serious with Spencer not at least that way, but she always thought she would be the center of his universe.  Now she not only had to step aside and watch another woman take her place, but she had to move over for a little girl named Carissa too. They already had a child.  This certainly was a blow to her ego but it wasn't the worst issue she had to deal with.

Starr practically locked herself in her house for months because she couldn't face her family.  Sure she knew she treated them badly in the past, but she really did love them. She was even able to forgive her cousin Katherine, something she would have never done before.  She knew that Katherine was provoked to take those actions, and it was her that led Katherine to take those desperate measures.  Now Katherine was alone sent through the time portal to protect herself as Denny threatened to kill her. They could only send Katherine but she would have gladly gone with her, anything to escape this mess she called a life.

The worst part of everything was the guilt she would carry with her forever about sleeping with the man who kidnapped her father.  Everything inside herself told her to stay away from him but she didn't.  Oh why didn't she show those photo's to her father herself, he would have identified Johnny and none of this would have happened.  If her father's magic didn't work, Johnny would have killed them both. 

She wouldn't open the door for anyone, but Nick thought he should at least give it a try. As he was the only one she never hurt or manipulated in any way, she allowed him to come in.

Nick: Starr why are you doing this to yourself?

Starr:  Doing what to myself?

Nick: Cutting yourself off from the world and everyone who loves you.  You need your family right now.

Starr: The best thing I could do is stay far away from all of them.

Nick:  That is not how your mother or father feels, they are both worried about you.

Starr: You don't understand Nick; they don't know what I did to them.  I can't talk to them. I can't even look at them.

Nick: Than talk to me.  You father tells me that you kept saying you didn't know.  What didn't you know?  

Starr:  I didn't know he was Johnny.  He gave me a different name.

Nick:  There was no way for you to know who he was.  You didn't do anything wrong.

Starr:  Yes I did.  In Egypt I betrayed my father by sleeping with the man who kidnapped him.

Nick:  That was a long time ago, you didn't know and you didn't do anything wrong.  He lied and took advantage of you.  There was no way you would have ever done that if you did know.

Nick held her close to him as she started to cry.  Starr was a strong woman who didn't cry easily and he urged her to let it all out.  He comforted her and kept telling her that everything was going to be fine.  She was going to survive this and he was going to stand right by her.  

He kissed her on the forehead and then on the lips.  Starr had been kissed many times before, but this was different. She felt as if she was struck by a bolt of lightning as for the first time in her life there was real emotion behind that kiss.  Nick expected her to pull away but she felt safe in his arms and she kissed him back.  

She wanted him to hold her the whole night and that is exactly what he did. They woke up the next morning in each other’s arms.  Starr wouldn't admit this not even to herself but she was beginning to fall in love.

At Aurora Skies Penitentiary:

Johnny pleaded guilty to everything.  He said that Brandon Alto hired him to kidnap Dylan and hold him hostage in the Alto home in Lunar Lakes.  A witness, Cora Borealis who heard the voice of the fairy with white wings could not identify Johnny's voice.  

He also pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of Starr McIntyre as he knew he would be found guilty.  There were also some other offenses including murder that he was also found guilty of.  He received a life sentence with no chance of parole.

As he walked into a high security cell designed to hold fairies, he met his cellmate.

Brandon:  Allow me to introduce myself; I'm the person you framed for kidnapping. Just so you know the Alto family runs this cell block.  Oh we are going to have a wonderful time together, because you are my bitch now.

Author's Note-I would like to thank Vuneca for the use of Candace, if you haven't read her story it is absolutely awesome.

Bonus shots:

First here is a better picture of Candace and Spencer's daughter, Carissa.

Now when I placed Johnny and Brandon in the prison I got this message:

I seen that and started laughing was Giancarlo the latin lover gay all this time and I didn't know it but now that I have the mod I had to check:

That should be the last we see of both of them.
