Rafe was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling. He looked at his watch, noticing he hadn't set it to the right time. The watch said 4:45 PM, meaning it was really 11:45 PM. He had started to doubt himself at dinner. Maybe he shouldn't tell Eddie about being a slayer. Maybe he should just take the next 8 days as a vacation for him and his son. No, he had to tell Eddie. If he didn't then his son would continue to get the feelings whenever around Caleb and his family and would never understand it.

He looked up and saw her standing there, his Angel. "What are you doing here?" he said, sitting up in the bed.

"I'm here to let you know you can do this Rafe Kovich. You can tell Eddie, and he is going to understand. Don't think of it as a curse, I never thought of your gift as one," she said, and then disappeared as quickly as she had come. He must have fallen asleep, because the next thing he knew he was being awoken by the sunlight coming in from the window.

A few hours later, Eddie walked downstairs to the kitchen. "Good morning, Dad."

"Good morning, Son. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yeah, but I kept waking up wondering where I was a few times. Is Delia here?"

"No, I gave her the day off. I figured I can make our meals for at least one day this week. It won't be authentic Romanian food though."

"That's ok," he said, sitting down at the table. "So what are we going to do today?"

"I thought we could take a walk around, and--," he said getting sidetracked by noises from outside. "You stay right here, do not leave this house. I will be right back," he said walking outside.

"Hello? Who is out there?" he said, in the direction of the woods.

"Well, look who decided to come for a visit and didn't invite me. I'm hurt slayer," said Caleb, walking out from behind a tree.

"What in the hell are you doing here?" he asked with little enthusiasm.

"I could ask you the same question, but I think I know the answer. I didn't realize Eddie had reached the age of fifteen yet, or I would have had my guard up a lot sooner."

"He doesn't know yet, and I would like to be the one to explain this whole thing to him. Don't worry, our truce is on, unless you royally screw it up this week." He said, tiring of the truce and of Caleb. Caleb said nothing, just smiled and disappeared.

Rafe walked in, still upset from the confrontation he had just had.

"Who was that, Dad?"

"It was just some wild dog, that's all."

"Oh, I thought I heard you talking to someone."

"Anyways, as I was saying before we could go for a walk, or visit the market. What do you want to do?"

"Well, I didn't want to bring it up, but you said before we could talk about why I was getting these feelings all of a sudden when I'm around Caleb. Can we talk about that?"

"Sure, let's take a walk and talk."

--------------------

Caleb quietly opened the door. He saw Livvie lying down on the couch, taking a nap. He walked over and gave her a kiss on the lips. She moved a little and then opened her eyes to see his beautiful blue eyes looking back at her. "Hey there," she smiled. "Did everything go ok?"

He didn't say anything, just walked around the room. He was worried that the truce would be called off. There had to be a way to protect himself, but how?

--------------------

"So what do you think of Romania so far?" Rafe asked, walking through an overgrown trail behind the house. He remembered being Eddie's age and walking this trail, trying to decide why he kept having these feelings when he went into town.

"It's beautiful. I wish Angel could be here with us, I think she'd enjoy it too."

"Yeah, she would. Your mom never got to see this place. When we were here so long ago we didn't get to do much sightseeing," he said, seeing a bench to sit down on.

"I guess this is where you tell me about you and Caleb, huh?"

"Yeah, it is. I hope I can tell this right, and get you to understand this."

"It's ok Dad, I'm sure you'll do fine."

"That's what your mom said."

"What?"

"Your mom came to me last night. I don't know if it was a dream or a vision, but she came to me and told me everything would be ok. Anyways, here in Transylvania the Kovich's and Morley's are widely known, but lately have become legends. Our family is the last of the Kovich's and Caleb's is the last of the Morley's. This rivalry has been going on for hundreds of years," he said, taking a very deep breath before continuing. "To the townspeople the Kovich's are considered hunters, hunting the Morley's down. The truth is we hunt them so they do not destroy innocent lives. They are.vampires, and we, the Kovich's, are slayers."

He stopped and looked at his son. He could tell he was still processing the information, when he jumped up, "That explains everything. That's why I felt like I needed to protect everyone from Caleb. My instincts were telling me he was dangerous. So, what causes you not to kill him?"

"When your mom and I were married Caleb came and talked to us. He wanted a truce, saying he wanted to have his family and let Alison and I have our family. It started eighteen years ago, and it just has never stopped."

------------------

They talked for hours, walking through the woods and back to the house. He told Eddie he had a decision, he could accept he was a slayer and let it be, or he could study so if the need ever arose he could defeat evil.

Rafe had gone upstairs, looking for something. He knew he had an extra one, just where it was he wasn't sure. He had gone through the whole bedroom when he picked up a book and opened it up and there it was. He grabbed it, and ran down the stairs. "Eddie, I found it!"

"Found what?" he said, looking up from a book he was reading in the library.

"This," as he handed his son the extra chain and fluer-de-lice he had.

"It's just like yours," he said as he placed it over his head.

"It's the sign of a slayer. You don't have to wear it all the time like I do. Just when you feel like you truly need to protect others."

"Does Jesse know the truth? I mean about you being a slayer and why you and Caleb don't' get along."

"No, I decided early on in our relationship there was no reason to tell her. If for some reason, in the future the time comes where she has to learn the truth then I will tell her then."
