Chapter 1:

'Great. This is not what I needed today. I could just let him deal with this on his own. He probably doesn't even want my help, but…. Oh what the hell.'
"What is going on here?"
"Spencer this doesn't concern you."
"You see that's where you are wrong. You're messing with my brother."
"And what are you going to do about it. There are four of us and two of you."
"Just evening the odds a little bit." Nikolas looked at Lucky in shock. Out of all the likely people that would help him. Lucky was not one of them.
These four guys had picked a fight with him for no good reason. Two of them had him by the arms and were about to beat him when Lucky showed up.
"Let him go. As you said there are four you and only two of us. If you want a fight we'll give you one. But let's make it fair by letting him go." The 'leader' nodded to the other two and they let him go and pushed him towards Lucky. Lucky and Nikolas made short work of the first two. They were now fighting one on one with the other two. Nikolas punched his guy in the face hard enough to knock him down. He was catching his breath watching as Lucky took care of the other guy. Lucky had stopped to catch his breath when he noticed one of the guys take out a knife and move towards Nikolas who was facing the other way. Lucky didn't even think about it as he knocked Nikolas out of the way.

Chapter 2:

Lucky and Nikolas were sprawled on the ground catching their breaths. Lucky had a black eye forming and Nikolas had a bloody nose and a split lip. "Where did they go?"
"I don't know and at the moment I don't care." Lucky sits up wincing. Lucky looks at Nikolas and notices his bloody nose and hands him a tissue.
"Here." Nikolas takes it.
"Thanks." Nikolas looks at Lucky and notices the blood seeping through Lucky's shirt.
"Lucky you're bleeding." Lucky looks at his shirt and sees a three-inch slice on the right of his body. It's bleeding heavily. He presses down on the cut with his hands.
"Well it looks like I ruined another shirt." Lucky says trying to crack a joke. Nikolas looks at Lucky concerned.
"This is not funny that may need stitches."
"Nikolas I'm fine."
"At least let me take you to GH."
"No thank you. They'll tell my parents. Besides it's not that bad."
"Yeah right. Lucky let me look at that."
"It's not bad." Lucky said wincing. Nikolas ignored Lucky and lifted up his shirt.
"Lucky you need to get this checked out."
"Look Nikolas I don't want to go to GH."
Nikolas decides to drop it right now. "Fine. Where are you staying?"
"The boxcar."
"No you're not." Lucky looks at Nikolas quizzically. "I'm not?"
"You are coming home with me."
"To Wyndemere. I don't think so."
"Lucky it's either that or GH."
Lucky sighed. "Fine. What will Stefan say? Not that I care."
"Don't worry about it. Keep pressing down on that cut. We have got to get the bleeding stopped. Let's go." Lucky tried not to wince as he stood up and followed Nikolas.

Chapter 3:

Lucky and Nikolas boarded the launch to Wyndemere. Stefan was at the hospital working (Katherine never fell off the parapet at the ball, but Katherine decided not to marry Stefan anyway. She ran off with another man.) On the launch over Nikolas had called their personal physician to come to Wyndemere despite Lucky's protests. When they got to Wyndemere Nikolas settled Lucky into one of the guestrooms and got some quaze to try to stop the bleeding. The bleeding had slowed, but Lucky's shirt was still soaked. Ten minutes later Dr. Greenovitch arrived and checked out Lucky's side. It had finally stopped bleeding. The gash did need stitches, which he sewed. The doctor prescribed some more penicillin for Lucky and told him to rest.
After the doctor left lucky was about to fall asleep when he remembered Elizabeth.
"Oh no."
"What?" Nikolas asked.
"I was supposed to meet Elizabeth for dinner an hour ago at Kelly's."
"Don't worry about it. I'll call her and tell her what happened."
"Thanks, I appreciate it. Elizabeth is probably ready to chop my head off."
Nikolas laughed.
"I'll call her." Lucky nodded and fell asleep. Nikolas watched Lucky fall asleep. He couldn't believe what had happened. In a million years he would not have suspected that Lucky would try to protect him. Besides it wasn't his job to. Nikolas was supposed to protect him, he was older. Nikolas sighed and walked into the hall to call Liz.
"Hello?"
"Hi Mrs. Hardy, this is Nikolas Cassadine, is Elizabeth home? I have to tell her something about Lucky."
"Ok. I'll get her."
Mrs. Hardy put the phone down and walked upstairs.
"Elizabeth, Nikolas is on the phone."
"I don't want to speak to him." Mrs. Hardy looked at Liz and noticed that she was close to tears. She knew that she was supposed to meet Lucky, but something must have happened.
"He says it's about Lucky."
Elizabeth looked up startled. Nikolas would never call about Lucky.
"I'll get it."
Elizabeth grabbed the phone that was next to her bed.
"Hello?"
"Hi Liz. I just called to tell you that Lucky is sorry that he couldn't meet you."
"Why isn't he calling?"
"Well…you see he got stabbed tonight."
"Again? What happened?"
"He noticed that these four guys were giving me a hard time and he stepped in. We fought them and when we thought they were through one of them was about to stab me when Lucky pushed me out of the way. He ended up getting stabbed."
"Is he ok?"
"Yeah, the doctor just told him to rest and prescribed him some penicillin."
"Where is he?"
"At Wyndemere."
"How did you pull that off?"
"I told him it was either that or GH."
"I'm surprised he didn't chose GH."
"Frankly so am I." Nikolas hears the door open.
"Nikolas!" Stefan was calling.
"Hey Liz, I got to go. My Uncle is home."
"Ok. Tell Lucky I'll see him tomorrow. If that's ok with you."
"Sure. That's fine. I'll tell him. Goodnight."
"Goodnight. Thanks for calling."
"Your welcome. Bye." Nikolas hangs up the phone.
Elizabeth could not believe that Lucky had been stabbed again 'I swear that boy just finds trouble.' She thought to herself.
