Rafe sat on the couch staring into space. He took another sip of the drink Caleb had made up. They hadn't said anything since leaving the castle, but both were trying to come up with a plan. Caleb walked back into the room and over to the chair, "So what do you think?"
"I think that all we need is two vampires and an extra slayer."
"Really? Care to enlighten me on your idea?"
"The two vampires are Jamal and Ian-they can take out the guards that will bring Alison and Livvie down. That way, when we kill Gavril and they tell the guards to kill them, Jamal and Ian can take them and escape."
"Ok, I'll buy that. What about Lucy? Even better, what about Imani? Where does she fit in?"
"Imani is going to give your ring to her father."
"And before she hands the ring over Lucy will kill him with a silver arrow?" said Caleb with a grin starting to appear as he realized Rafe's plan would work.
"You're catching on. I guess you can teach an old vamp new tricks," he said with a grin on his face.
"I wish we could have talked to Alison and Livvie tonight. Tell them we didn't betray them,"
"Tell them we love them," sighed Rafe as he finished the sentence. "Well, I'm going to head on back to the apartment. See you in the morning."
"Later, man," Caleb said as he continued to stare into space. At one point he looked down at his father's ring, his family's legacy. Was he willing to give up the ring again? Even if it was for just a minute in order to bring down the Dragomir's he was still scared of loosing the power it enabled him with. He closed his eyes and pictured Olivia standing there tonight in the hall. "I'm coming for you, Olivia. I promise," he said quietly as he finished his drink as fell asleep.
-----------------
Rafe paced behind the couch as Lucy, Jamal, Imani, and Caleb went through the map on where everyone should stand. He was starting to feel like he had no part in this at all. Everyone else had a job in some way, but he was just to stand there next to Caleb and put all his trust into Caleb and Imani doing their parts right. He didn't worry about Jamal or Ian protecting the girls, or Lucy shooting the arrow into Dragomir's heart. What worried him was what if Imani ended up betraying them after Caleb gave the ring. Or what if they walked in there and Caleb turned on the rest of them. He looked at his watch and walked outside the gym.
"What are you doing?" said Caleb as he followed him afterwards.
"I was coming out here to see if Ian was here yet."
"Liar," he said rubbing his eyes.
"Excuse me?"
"You're lying. I can tell. So why don't you just let it all out."
"You think I'm going to tell you my fears? That all of a sudden I'm going to come to you for compassion? You really didn't get a lot of sleep last night, did you?"
"No, I didn't. Because every time I closed my eyes I saw Olivia standing in front of me, begging for me to rescue her. And in order to do that I have to trust people that I normally wouldn't. So why don't you tell me what's going on with you now?"
"I feel like I'm doing nothing. I have to stand there and hope you don't turn on us when we get there. I mean if you do then we're all dead."
"I'm sorry I can't give you a part in the major play of events. You came up with this plan. Now why don't you just suck it up, and come back inside?"
"First, do you think we can truly trust Imani?"
"I don't know," he said as Ian came down the stairs, and they went back inside.
"So what are we doing?" asked Ian as he walked in behind Caleb and Rafe.
Jamal walked up and put his arm around Ian's neck, "We are going to rescue the damsels' in distress," he laughed as him and Ian went to go talk out a strategy.
"Rafe, do you think I should be located behind or in front of where Jamal and Ian will be standing?" Lucy asked as he sat down next to her on the couch.
"I think you should be in front of them-or next to them," he said looking up at Caleb who gave him a nod. "We don't want the arrow to shoot them by accident. Also, Imani you need to make sure that you aren't in Lucy's line of fire either," added Caleb as they continued to study the map.
