"So Imani," Jamal said as they sat across from each other, finally getting their smoothie date. "What is your last name anyways?"
Imani looked at him, why did he need to know that? It wasn't anything he needed to know. "It's Dragomir," she said with her head hanging down.
"Oh, is that Hungarian?"
"No, it's Romanian," she said getting upset with all the questions he was asking.
He was about to mention that was where Rafe and Caleb were from when his thoughts were interrupted by the phone ringing in his pocket, "Jamal Woods," he said answering.
"Hey Jamal, it's Alison."
"Oh, hey," he said walking away from Imani for a minute. "What's up Spunky?"
"Rafe was putting in the new members orders for the gym and wanted to check on Imani's last name."
"Yeah, it's Dragomir. Oh, she just told me her family is from Romania. Small world, isn't it?" he said noticing Imani seemed agitated sitting at the table by herself. "Hey, can I talk to you later? I'm on a date with Imani right now."
"Oh, sure. I don't want to interrupt you two," she said with a laugh. She walked over to the computer where Rafe was sitting "Yeah, that's right. Jamal just found out something else about Imani, her family is from Romania. Isn't that interesting?"
"Yeah, really interesting," he said getting up from the table and walking to the phone. He dialed quickly, and waited for the other line to pick up.
"Hello," Caleb said in a gruff way.
"Hey. It's Rafe. Remember that little legend about your great- grandfather and the Dragomir's? Well, it turns out part of that legend is wrong, and they are still alive. What's worse is that they are in Port Charles."
"This isn't good," he said as he ran his hand through the back of his hair.
"Tell me about it. What do you say we meet in 30 minutes at the overlook?"
"You've got it," he said hanging up the phone and looking at Olivia.
"What was that all about?" she asked.
He had her sit down on the couch and face him. His eyes had seemed to go from their normal blue color to that of a steely gray. "The Morley's haven't always been the head vampire family. They were originally just measly servants to the Dragomir's."
"They were worse than the Morley's. They ravaged the countryside, killing a village of hundreds in a single night. Nobody would stand up to them, and many slayer lives were lost battling them," Rafe said as he told the story to Alison.
"That was until my great-grandfather came along. He realized they were too powerful, and they needed to be stopped. So he formed a plan to trick the head vampire out of the ring. It worked, and he became the leader."
"The Kovich's then went out and killed what we thought was all of that family. We must have missed one of them. They must have escaped into the woods to hide for years."
"Now, the Dragomir's have followed me to Port Charles. I guess they want what is rightfully theirs," said Caleb.
"So what do we do?" Alison asked Rafe.
"I don't know. I don't know how many of them are here," he responded.
"We don't know how powerful they are," Caleb said walking over and looking out the window.
"I do know one thing. The Kovich's and the Morley's are going to have to work together," said Rafe as he put on a jacket.
"To defend ourselves and this town," said Caleb.
"From a power worse than anything you can imagine."
Alison looked at Rafe, scared as to what may happen to this town if this family were to control it. "So what do we do first?"
"Caleb and I are going to meet at the overlook. I don't want you to answer the door to anyone, do you understand me?" he said. She saw a look in his eye she had never seen before, even with everything they'd been through with Caleb and Joshua, this was much worse.
"I promise," she said giving him a kiss.
"You understand me, Olivia. Do not open this door for anyone under any circumstances?" Caleb said giving his bride a kiss before closing the door behind him.

Imani walked into her small apartment, and put her keys on the table next to the door. Turning on the lights she saw she wasn't alone.
"What do you want?" she said, now wishing she had taken up Jamal's offer to go back to his place for a bit.
"You know what we want. It's what we sent you here for. Why haven't you brought us the ring yet?" said Radu, her father's oldest son.
"It's harder than you think. There are slayers here. Plus, I don't want to help you anymore. These people have done nothing to our family. They live rather peacefully with the Morley's."
"Are you defying our father's wishes? Do you not remember the stories you have been told of how the ring was stolen from us? And how our family was hunted down by the Kovich's?"
"Well, I guess I am then-aren't I?"
"Mark my words, Imani, you will pay for your deceit," her brother said as him and his minions walked out of her apartment. What had she just done? She shouldn't have opened her big mouth and told them that the Kovich's were still alive in this town. She had to warn them, somehow, someway.

Rafe was leaning over the railing looking out on the city. His greatest fear was that the Dragomir's would take this city and rip it apart leaving nothing in their wake. He heard a noise behind him and saw Caleb walking up to him.
"Look at that town down there, not knowing what is about to fall upon them," Caleb said as he leaned onto the railing.
"This town may be big enough for me and you, but there is no way I'm letting them stay around."
"I forgot to ask, how did you find out about them being in town?" he asked, scared to say the name out loud.
"Imani. She's one of them," he said with a sigh.
"You should have let me kill her when I had a chance."
"Do you know what kind of destruction they can cause?"
"I can imagine. I remember being told stories about them. How they were ruthless, and didn't care if they hurt one of their own to get their way. This is why I've got to get the ring back."
"Ok, fine we get the ring, but then what. We still have to protect our families, alone with Port Charles."
"There is another form of protection other than the ring. Michael, he had this medallion. He gave it to Eve at one point to protect her and Danny from me. If you can find that medallion you can give it to Alison for protection."
"I'll go and ask Ian if he still has it. What else can we do?"
"Find out how the Dragomir's were destroyed in the past."
"I say we call it a night, and discuss this more in the morning. I don't want to leave Alison alone any longer than I already have."
"Alright. If anything comes up though tonight, we need to be ready."
