Christina finally got home, although it was late. She unlocked the
door, turned on the living room light, and tossed her purse aside. She
scrunched her curls, and looked up to find Kevin and Lucy asleep on the
couch, next to the phone. She stepped down the stairs onto the living room
floor. When she did, Kevin jerked awake, and in doing so, woke up Lucy.
"Christina! Where the heck have you been!? We've been worried sick!" Kevin cried. Lucy noticed the heartbroken look on Christina's face, and clutched Kevin's arm to stop him. Christina shrugged, sleepily, and drew in a shuddery breath. She put a hand on her forehead, cursing herself under her breath.
"Shoot, I'm sorry I forgot to call," she said. "Well, Christina, sweetie pie, what's wrong? You look like you just lost your best friend!" Lucy said softly. "Not quite!" Christina said, tears forming in her eyes. "What are you talking about?" Kevin asked. " Raven got in a car accident tonight. That's why I'm home so late," Christina said, her voice cracking as she nearly started to cry again.
"What? Oh my, Christina, is she all right?!" Lucy exclaimed. Christina nodded. " She's going to be fine, and I don't want to talk about it!" she cried as she ran upstairs to her bedroom. Kevin and Lucy looked at each other, wondering what was going on with Christina.

Frank and Karen found it odd that Sascha was up so late, she usually went to bed early. They unbuckled their seatbelts, and exhausted, went inside.
When Sascha heard her parents (or at least one of them) come inside, she panicked. She decided not to mention this to them, not just yet. After all, she could already hear them arguing. She shoved the memorobilia back under her bed, and quickly draped herself over her bed with a book, to make it appear she'd fallen asleep reading.
She waited as such until Karen and Frank had each (seperately) come in, and kissed her head. She'd have to wait until a more convinient time to spring this newfound information on them.
* As it turned out, Jack, Livvie, and Eli, did go home, and there were no vampires waiting for them. But they were right back to the hospital the next morning to check on Raven. Alison, Danny, Eli, Jack, and Livvie were all crowded around Raven's bed, waiting for her to wake up. Finally, she did wake up.
She looked around, and gave everyone a tired smile before it dissolved into a confused frown. Her hand went to her head, where she felt the bandage over her eye, and the scrapes on her face. She squints, and remembered the accident. The man in the road, the Jeep flipping, and then darkness. Then now.
"Uh, Danny, Eli, why don't you guys go get Raven some breakfast from the cafeteria?" Alison suggested. Danny and Eli nodded and slipped out of the room. "How are you feeling, angel?" Alison cooed as she smoothed Raven's blonde hair. She'd spent the night gently washing the blood out of it with a washcloth.
"Like I got hit by a truck," she said sullenly. "Not exactly," Jack said jokingly. Raven wanted to laugh, but her ribs were sore from hitting the steering wheel the evening before. She smiled a tiny smile. Alison took her daughter's hand and patted it.
"Angel, listen. Do you remember what happened? Can you talk about it? I mean, you've always been such a careful driver ever since you got your license. I just don't understand, " Alison said gently, giving Raven a sympathetic gaze.
"Yeah...."Raven began, disoriented. "I was....on my way to the Recovery Room....and, I, there was this man.....he was standing...in the middle of the road.....and I...didn't want to hit him, so I swerved, and then...."
"A man, sweetie?" Alison asked, confused. "Yes, this.....man. The man I saw at Jack and Livvie's the day before yesterday, and then.....I had a dream about him, and then he was standing the middle of the road.....staring at me. He was tall, and had dark clothes, and dark hair, and these eyes....these flashing eyes," she finished meekly.
Alison's jaw dropped as she turned to look at Jack and Livvie, who were as shocked and bewildered as she was.

If I want to be with my sweet Olivia, the first thing I've got to do is to rid ourselves of her son and husband. That won't be difficult at all, since there are no slayers left in Port Charles to stop me now. Caleb thought to himself. He'd missed Olivia so much since he'd been gone, and now, without any interference from any outside forces, he was finally going to have her. At least that's what he thought.
"Christina! Where the heck have you been!? We've been worried sick!" Kevin cried. Lucy noticed the heartbroken look on Christina's face, and clutched Kevin's arm to stop him.
