A Change of Heart And Soul

Disclaimer: I do not nor have I ever owned any of the PC group.. if I did the show wouldn't get canned! I might throw in a couple of original characters but I'm not sure yet.

Chapter One

Ali couldn't believe what she had done. She had betrayed the only man she felt she would ever love with his worst enemy.

'What am I going to do?' She asked herself as she chewed on her bottom lip.

There wasn't a way to soften the blow that Rafe would receive when he found out. How could someone easily tell the man that they have wanted to marry for over a year that they had slept with the only person in the world that could destroy everything sacred to them?

"I have to tell him." She said softly as she looked around the park, sitting on the bench she had occupied so many times before. She couldn't deny that something had changed in her that night. It had only been last week and she had avoided Caleb and the subject of their night of passion. Rafe had been worried about her the morning he had came back to their apartment after searching for her.

'He loves me so much and I do this to him.' She was sick of herself and she blaimed not only herself but Caleb and Livvie.

'If it hadn't been his damn ring and her silly wish this would have never happened.'

She couldn't help but admit that a part of her had enjoyed herself and possibly even wanted it. She had never felt such passion with Rafe. With Rafe it was slow and gentle but the night Caleb had taken her it had been riveting and exciting. She never knew of the talk that Livvie had had with Rafe about the dark side being seductive but if she had she would have agreed. She could still feel his touch and the taste of her skin. Closing her eyes she shook her head and tried to chase away the sinful images her memory displayed before her.

"It would have never happened if it hadn't been for that ring." She said sadly dropping her face into her hands.

"Are you so sure about that Alison?" Came a deep husky voice from behind her.

Standing up she whirled around to face him, the man that had led her astray with just one touch. He looked disconcetingly handsome as always in his black button up shirt and black leather pants.

"You shouldn't be here." She stated bluntly as she stepped back away from the bend where he rested his hands.

"Why not, it's a public park." His off handed manner helped to remind her of how much she hated him.

"You know what I mean Caleb. We can't be seen together. People will talk."

Shrugging he straightened up and walked around the bench. Stopping infront of her he looked down into her blue eyes, his own greyish ones displaying nothing of the kidness he had shown her when she had thought Rafe was lost in Hell forever.

"Didn't think you cared about what people thought of you Alison." Reaching towards her he brushed a stray strand of her golden locks away from her face.

Instintively Alison stepped back, loathing the skip in her heart beat as his finger tips brushed her cheek. He was everything she hated, evil, manipulative, egotistical, demented and not to mention destructive. Even though he was all those things she had let him touch her, make love to her and she knew she would burn in hell for her adultry.

"I only care about what Rafe would think. To hell with the others, he's the only one I care about."

Caleb gave her a half smile and the look on his face told her that he didn't quite believe the little front she was putting on.

"That's not what if felt like to me that night." Stepping up closer to her he reached out once more and Alison was rooted to where she stood, mesmerized by the look in the vampire's eyes.

"You'll be the end of me Alison." He whispered softly, his head descending towards hers. She knew that she should turn away from him and break the spell his voice was casting on her but she couldn't. As his lips brushed softly against hers all thoughts of Rafe and Livvie escaped her and she found herself clinging to his shirt. It was almost like she was trying to push him away and hold him there at the same time.

***** Lifting his face he brushed his lips against her forehead and inhaled the sweet scent of her perfume. He wasn't sure when he had began to feel something for the blonde goody two shoes. Maybe it had been when he kissed her to silence her at Joshua's or maybe it was before then. She had a light in her that Livvie never had and he was afraid to exstingush that light. He knew that if he were to persue Alison it would destroy them both and the last thing he wanted was to break her of her spirit, after all it was one of the things that drew him to her in the first place.

"I've thought about that night everyday." He whispered in her ear and smiled at the small shudder that went through her. He knew she was unable to resist his charms now that she knew what it was like to be in his arms. He knew a part of her was still very much in love with Rafe but in time that could become a small part. The Slayer had been a thorn in his side for what felt like an eternity and the knowledge that he held this beautiful, vibrant woman's heart almost drove him to madness.

"He doesn't deserve you Alison. He's always pulling stunts that would take him away from you. He went to Hell thinking he could stop this war that only he continues to wage against me."

He felt an ache in his chest as she pulled away from him, her eyes narrowed and full of accusation.

"If it hadn't been for that stupid ring of yours he would have never gone to Hell in the first place and we would have never..."

"Made love?" He finished for her in a questioning tone, his eyes gazing lazily down at her.

"N-No." She replied in a jerky tone but he noticed that she hadn't denied that they had made love.

He knew that he had unlocked a part of her that she had kept hidden for years. Who would have known that little miss Alison Barrington was such a wanton seductress. Livvie had gotten her wish, that had been the most memorable night of his life and he wanted to experience that again.

"You want me Alison, a part of you has always wanted me. For years I was kidding myself about Olivia being my soul mate. How could I ever latch myself to such a scheming piece of work?"

Shaking her head Alison stepped away from him, not wanting to hear his hypnotic voice or look into his mesmerizing eyes.

"You two are perfect for each other. You're both liars and your souls are as black as night."

Caleb would have once laughed and said she was right about his soul but the past few months as he had gotten to know Alison better he had felt a part of him change for the better. As much as he loathed to admit it he did have a conscience and she had succeeded in bringing out the best and worst out of him.

We he had seen the tears in her eyes the night Rafe had traveled to hell it had been his undoing. He had known about there little plan to steal his ring from the very beginning and yet he had allowed her to get close to him and make her speach about trust and friendship. Turning away from her he stepped towards the bench and sat down.

"You're mine now and soon you'll come to realize that and take pleasure in it."

A sneer crossed her pretty face as she looked down at him.

"You're so full of yourself aren't you? With your rock music and your devil may care ways. I'm Rafe's girl, I'll always be Rafe's girl and there is nothing you can change about that!" Turning away from him she walked away from him and towards town, trying to put as much distance as she possibly could.

Back on the bench Caleb smiled and shook his head.

"That's was you think Alison, but things change." He was already devising a plan to steal her away from Rafe he just needed a little time a patience.
