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:
