The woods they stood in now were half a mile from the castle. Imani had pointed out which turret the girls were located in, and both Caleb and Rafe could feel their presence. It was still a few more hours until nightfall, but Jamal and Ian were getting ready to go in. Imani was going to lead them up to the entrance, and then return. Before they left Rafe pulled Ian aside, "Hey man."
"What's up?"
"I want to make sure you can do this. I know you can, but you know we all get nervous before doing something big."
"We'll be fine. You should know that."
"Yeah, I do. Also, can you do something for me? In case, for some reason you get the girls out and we don't come out, can you tell Alison I love her?"
"Don't think that way," he said as he patted him on the back. "Ok, I think we're ready. When is Lucy going to go in?"
"She's going to enter about thirty minutes before we do. That way there isn't extra time where they might possibly catch her," he said as they walked back to the group. "Ok, let's do this thing."
-------------------
Livvie and Alison were sitting in the cell when they heard the door open. They looked up and saw the guards standing there. This time the guards seemed different. They were wearing hoods to cover their faces, and when they made the girls leave the room, they were almost gentle. They walked down the stairs, and Alison started to feel like she realized them.
When they got to the room again Alison was taken to one side of the room, and Livvie was kept near the door they came in from. Livvie thought she saw movement out of the corner of her eye, but figured it was her imagination. She looked at Caleb, he had a look on his face like he had been defeated. What was he about to do? He couldn't be giving up the ring for her. It wasn't possible.
Rafe looked straight ahead. He didn't want to see the fear on either Livvie or Alison's face, and he didn't want to give away Lucy's hiding place. He watched as Caleb took off the ring, and handed it to Imani.
"No, Caleb! Don't do it!" Livvie screamed as she was held back by the guard.
Imani walked up to where her father stood. She took a deep breath, "Here you are father. The ring of our ancestors is back in its rightful place." Just as she said the last word she saw the arrow coming towards her father. It pierced his skin, finding its way to his black heart.
"Guards!" yelled Radu. "Kill the two women now!" The guards did as they were told, Alison being led out one door and Livvie out the other.
"Alison!" Rafe yelled. He saw that Caleb gave him a look asking if that was really necessary.
-----------------
Alison was in tears, "Please don't kill me. Please, I'm begging you." She saw the guard take off his hood and she then gasped, "Ian."
"Come on, we don't have much time," he said as he carefully took her to the safety point.
"What about Livvie? Is she going to be killed?"
"Livvie will be fine, Jamal has her. Now let's go."
----------------
"You little-," Radu said to Imani as he looked up from his father's body.
"You can't go around taking things that don't belong to you, Radu," she said, tossing the ring to Caleb. He put it on his hand and walked over to Radu.
Rafe saw Lucy standing over in the shadows and motioned for her to come over. "You won't have to mourn your father's death too long, as you will be joining him shortly." Lucy handed him the stake she had been carrying, and he plunged it into Radu's heart.
---------------
"Where are they? Why haven't they shown up yet?" Livvie said as they stood outside the castle walls.
"They'll be here, I'm sure," Ian said as he tried to reassure the others that they would see them soon. Fog had started to roll in from the surrounding areas, and it was getting harder to see the front of the castle. He first saw a silhouette walking out, and then others behind that one.
"Caleb!" Livvie said as she ran into his arms.
"Are you ok?" He said taking her face into his hands. She looked a lot better than he had been thinking she would. How did she survive without blood for so long? It wasn't making any sense.
Rafe ran up to Alison and picked her up in his arms. Her hair was matted, and her face was dirty, but she seemed to be ok. He took her hands and kissed them, then noticing the bite marks on her wrist, "What is this?" he asked looking at her and then over to Livvie.
"I did it to save Livvie. She needed blood. I can't believe what you guys did in order to save the world from those monsters," she said, looking at everyone, "No offense, Imani."
"None taken," she said as she stood next to Jamal.
"See Alison, I told you this would be an adventure," Livvie smiled, as Caleb held her tightly around the waist, not ever wanting to let go of her again.
"This was more than an adventure. This is what legends are made of," Ian said as he took Lucy in for a kiss.
-------------------
"Do you think what Ian said was true?" Alison said as she got out of the shower she had just finished taking.
"Which part?" Rafe said as he pulled her over to him and held her tight.
"About tonight being the making of a legend."
"Sure, why not? Just think centuries from now they will be talking,"
"About how a vampire and a slayer," Caleb said as him and Livvie lay on the couch together wrapped in each other's arms, "and how they again defeated the Dragomir's."
"All in the name of love," Rafe said giving a kiss on Alison's forehead.
