Chapter 11:
Nikolas was taking Lucky and Elizabeth to see Dr. Kevin Collins at
his lighthouse. He was hoping that he would be able to help get Lucky's memory back. In a
million years he would never have thought that Lucky would ever call himself Lucas
Cassadine. Nikolas wanted to wring his grandmother's neck for what she did.
Elizabeth was happy that Lucky was alive. She could not get over how good he looked. He
was taller and he was no longer the skinny 16-year-old. His blue eyes still pierced
through her. She hoped that his memory would return. These two years with out him in her
life were lonely. Despite the fact that she had become close to Emily and Nikolas they
could not replace Lucky in her life.
Lucky was extremely confused. Everything Nikolas and Elizabeth were saying rang of truth.
However, it contradicted everything Helena had told him. He had no idea what to think. He
also had no idea where they were going.
"Nikolas where are we going?"
"We're going to Dr. Collins he's a psychiatrist. Hopefully, he will help you to get
your memory back."
"How?"
"I don't know, but it can't hurt to try."
"Ok." Lucky was skeptical, but he had too many questions. Hopefully this doctor
will help.
They arrive at the lighthouse minutes later.
Dr. Collins answers the door and lets them in.
"Nikolas what can I do for you."
"I was hoping you could help my brother." He says looking at Lucky. Kevin takes
a closer look at Lucky and recognition dawns on him.
"Lucky?"
"So they say. But then I don't really know. You see I can't remember anything from
earlier than two years ago."
"When you fell off the parapet."
"Right. I woke up two years earlier in Greece with absolutely no memory of who I was.
However, I have been having dreams that contradict what my grandmother has been telling
me, or should I say Helena Cassadine."
"Helena Cassadine kidnapped you."
"Yeah, you see that's why we're here. We were hoping there was a way that you could
help him to get his memory back." Nikolas adds.
"Lucy's not here right now so I can try to hypnotize you."
"Ok. Do whatever you have to do, because I need to know who's lying to me and who's
not."
Kevin nods and motions for Lucky to follow him.
"Make yourselves comfortable." He says as they leave. Nikolas and Elizabeth sit
on the couch.
"I hope this works, because that wasn't Lucky."
"I know, to hear him say that stuff it was like hearing myself speak. Helena has
really messed with his mind." Nikolas replied.
"I am just glad he's alive."
Chapter 12:
Lucky and Kevin were in the other room. Lucky was already under
hypnosis.
"Ok Lucky tell me about one of the dreams you have had."
"We're at this dark mansion looking in on a party. She is telling me how she wishes
she were with them."
"Who is she Lucky?"
"I don't know, I ask her dance and after hesitating she says she wants to."
Lucky pauses as if he were collecting her thoughts. "We're done dancing. Her name is
Elizabeth. I remember."
"Good Lucky, I am going to bring you further back now." Kevin is saying, but
Lucky is in his own world images are swirling in his head. "I remember being in the
hospital. My sister-I have a sister, Lulu, needed a bone marrow transplant. I remember
meeting Nikolas, my brother." The images keep swirling in his head. He remembers his
father. "My father Luke Spencer has a night club, Nikolas was shot there."
"Luke Spencer is my father." More images keep appearing. "I remember
running away with Emily. My parents were fighting; she couldn't stand the Quartermaines.
So we ran."
Lucky slowly remembers everything why he was at Wyndemere, the fact that he was mad at his
father. He remembers everything. "I remember."
Kevin watches amazed at how everything is slowly coming back to him. "Ok Lucky, I am
going to wake you up now. I am going to count back from ten to one when you here me snap
my fingers you will wake up and remember everything." He hoped.
"10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 snap." Lucky's eyes opened.
"Helena lied to me."
"I'm sorry Lucky."
"Dr. Collins, don't tell anyone that we were here. My parents will know soon enough.
Thank you."
"I won't tell anyone. But Lucky take it easy, everything is coming back to you, and
you may not remember everything ok?"
Lucky nods and runs out into the living room and out of the lighthouse startling Nikolas
and Elizabeth. Elizabeth runs after him. Nikolas looks at Kevin. "What
happened?"
"He remembered, and just found out that he had been lied to for the last two
years."
"Thank you." Nikolas goes after Lucky and Elizabeth.
Chapter 13:
Elizabeth found Lucky about 100yds away from the lighthouse staring
out into nothing. He looked lost and confused.
"Lucky?" Lucky does not turn around at the sound of her voice, but starts
speaking. "For two years I thought my name was Lucas Cassadine. I had no reason not
to. When I woke up I remembered nothing. I was an open book and she used that against me.
She used the fact that I was practically helpless to make me need and trust her."
Lucky still doesn't look at her. Elizabeth put her hand on his shoulder.
"I am sorry Lucky. I am so happy that you are alive. When they told us you had died
it felt like my heart was being ripped out."
"Elizabeth I'm sorry I didn't remember." Lucky says turning around.
"It's not your fault. I am just happy you are here." Elizabeth gives Lucky a hug
and they both hold on for dear life. "Your parents are going to be so happy
Lucky." Lucky winces when she mentions his parents. He remembers the way he had
treated his father. He pulls back and looks at Elizabeth.
"My father must have hated me."
"No, Lucky he loved you, and still does. It almost killed him when he thought you
were dead." Lucky thinks back to what he had just witnessed on the yacht, and the
pain that was still in his father's eyes.
"I know Elizabeth." Tears were falling from both their eyes.
Nikolas arrives and looks at Elizabeth and Lucky. "What are you going to do
now?" Lucky is startled by the sound of Nikolas's voice.
"Go back to the yacht."
"Lucky, what about your parents?" Elizabeth asks.
"Look Helena wanted me to trust her, which I did, for some reason. I need to know
why. I am pretty sure that she will make my presence known. I need you to keep quiet that
I am back. Helena has to pay, but I can't have my father knowing yet. He will act first
and think later."
"Alright, Lucky we'll wait to see what you do. I have to tell you that I am glad
you're alive. I don't want us to go back to the way we were. Can we go on from here?"
Lucky looks at Nikolas, and remembers both before and after the accident. How he had hated
Nikolas for the wrong reasons, at first because he was a secret, and later because he was
the chosen one.
"I would like that." Nikolas smiles in response.
"Before you go there are a few things that I have to tell you. Jason and Caroline are
married and have another child a daughter, Jennifer. Bobbie and Stefan are married, and
Emily and I are going out."
"I am happy for you two. I have to go. Hell-ana is waiting. Remember don't tell
anyone." Lucky walks back to the yacht where Helena is waiting for his return.
Chapter 14:
"Lucas! Where have you been? I have been worried sick about
you?" Yeah right, Lucky thinks to himself. Come on Lucky act like nothing has
happened.
"I am sorry Grandmother, but I got sick of the yacht, and I was anxious to see the
town that my parents live in."
"Where did you go?"
"Just around the docks and the park. I didn't see anyone. I am sorry if you are mad
at me."
"Nonsense Lucas, I was just worried about you. There are people in this town who
don't like the Cassadines and that could put you in danger."
"I am sorry Grandmother. When can I meet my family?"
"Tomorrow, my darling Grandson, I am holding a dinner in your honor. The invitations
have already been sent out. Now it's late and I have work to do."
Lucky nods. "Good Night, Grandmother." He kisses her on the cheek like he has
for the past two years when he says good night, inwardly disgusted.
Lucky thinks about tonight. It was so good to see Elizabeth. It was
amazing how you could miss something you never even remembered. The feeling of her in his
arms felt good and right. He couldn't wait to see her again. He fell asleep with a smile
on his face.
The next morning Nikolas awoke and walked into the dining room at
Wyndemere. He noticed Bobbie and Stefan eating breakfast. It took every ounce of control
not to tell everyone about Lucky's reappearance. He was happy and excited he and Lucky had
had their first real conversation ever with out insults.
"Good Morning."
"Good Morning, Nikolas, how are you this morning?"
Before Nikolas can answer his uncle, Mrs. Landsbury walks in.
"Excuse me Mr. Cassadine, a messenger has arrived with these." She gives one to
Bobbie, Stefan, and Nikolas.
They all open them up.
Your present is requested at a dinner tonight at the Port Charles
Hotel at 8:00pm. The dinner will prove to be well worth your time.
Helena Cassadine
"What could she possibly want Stefan?"
"I don't know, but something tells me we will find out."
Nikolas sits back and doesn't say anything. He knows what is going to happen tonight.
Luke and Laura were at breakfast with their daughter when the
messenger arrives.
"Well, well, well, what does the old bat have in store for us this time."
"I don't think I want to know."
"Well we most certainly can't refuse her invitation.
Elizabeth, Emily, Alexis and Ned Ashton, and Jason and Caroline
Morgan were also given similar invitations.
Chapter 15:
At 8:00 the guests arrive: Luke, Laura, Stefan, Bobbie, Nikolas,
Emily, Elizabeth, Jason, Carly, Ned, and Alexis. Only Elizabeth and Nikolas had a clue as
to why they were invited here.
"Well Helena we're all here what do you want from us?" Luke yelled.
With that Helena entered. "Hello, I am so glad that everyone arrived on time. I
wouldn't want anyone to miss the show."
"Mother what is this about?"
"Patience, my son, all will be made clear soon."
As Helena was talking Lucky was in the other room pacing. He didn't know what to expect
from his parents. He hoped that they'd be happy to see him, but he wasn't sure. He could
hear the conversation in the other room.
"I have someone I would like everyone to meet." Lucky looked up when he heard
this took a deep breath and entered the room.
"Lucky?" He looked at his mother.
"Mom!" Lucky ran towards Laura. Laura took Lucky into a hug and held on for dear
life. Tears were running down their faces. "Oh my God. You're home Lucky, thank god.
You're ok." Laura finally released Lucky.
Luke was watching his son unsure of how he would react to seeing him. Looking into his
father's eyes Lucky didn't hesitate. He walked over to Luke. "I'm sorry."
Upon hearing this Luke gave his son a hug not saying anything, and more tears were shed.
Stefan watched the scene with a mixture of jealously and happiness. His son was alive, but
he still believed that Luke was his father. Bobbie had tears in her eyes with happiness
for her brother that he has his son back.
Helena realizing that Lucky remembers his parents and that her plan failed.
She quietly left the room while everyone else watched Lucky. No one noticed Helena's
disappearance until Lucky asked. "Where did Helena go?"
"I'll deal with her later. What I want to know is where have you been for the past
two years."
"I'll tell you, but let's sit down first." Everyone sat around the table waiting
for Lucky to begin. Elizabeth sat next to hi holding his hand. For them two years had not
changed the way they felt about each other.
