"Are you sure they are here?" Caleb asks, sitting in the bushes outside his castle in Transylvania.
"Alison said there it was foggy, and she saw a cemetery in the back. You know, you really should have someone keep an eye on your other property when you're away Caleb."
"Ok, so we're here. What's next?"
"We have two choices. We go in, take what's ours and leave or we transpose in and out trying to decide what he's doing first. What do you say?"
"I say you two are coming with me," said a voice behind them.

Alison paced in the room. She had finally gotten Angel to take a nap. She didn't understand how Joshua could be back. Everyone had said he was dead. It didn't take him much convincing this morning to let her go with him. He didn't seem to care about her, even though at one point he wanted to make her his bride. She knew someone must be working with him, just the way he acted. He didn't have the power he did in Port Charles. She stopped for a second and could hear voices downstairs. It was Rafe and Caleb. She started banging on the door, and yelling Rafe's name. She forgot that Angel was in the room, and soon had woken her up.
"Mommy, why are you yelling at the door?"
"Sweetie, go back to sleep. I just thought I heard your daddy, and was letting him know I was up here."
With her back to the door she heard it open. Turning around she saw Livvie, holding Angel's blanket in her hand.
"What are you doing here?" Alison said, standing up and grabbing the blanket from her hand.
"I'm here to make sure you follow Joshua's rules."
"His rules? Joshua has no power, and you know that. Caleb has the ring, Caleb has the power. You've been fine for the past three years, and you all of a sudden turn on your own husband?"
"I haven't been fine for the past three years. I always wanted Caleb to destroy you and Rafe. He wouldn't, so I found out how to bring Joshua back."
"Ok, before we go any further, can we please do it out of the earshot of my daughter?"
"Fine, you want to go outside and talk, we will," Livvie said walking outside.
"I'll be right back sweetie," as she kissed Angel and closed the door behind her.
"So you are the reason Joshua is back? Do you realize how selfish you are Livvie? Have you ever realized that? You and Caleb had your life, you two were fine. You have everything you need, and Rafe has been more than willing to stay out of your business if you stay out of ours."
"There's one thing Caleb and I never had though, and that's a family. I've wanted to have a child so much, but he always said no. He said that stealing a child would break the truce, and he didn't want to do that. So, I went and brought Joshua back from the dead. Joshua's almost got your little girl already, I mean he got her to leave Lucy's, didn't he?"
"You.you.ugh," Alison stomps back into the room and closes the door almost the whole way. She listens for Livvie to walk away, and goes over to Angel. "Shhhh. We're going to find Daddy, but you have to be very quiet, ok?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
"You know, we really need to stop ending up in your dungeons. Did you hear Alison yelling for me when we came in? At least she knows we're here."
"He can't keep us down here forever. At some point he has to let us go. I can't believe people are actually willing to follow him." Caleb says, stretching out on a cot.
"Your wife is one of those people," Alison says coming up to Rafe's cell.
"Alison, you're ok. Angel, come here and give Daddy a hug."
"What do you mean, my wife is one of the people helping Joshua?" he asked, walking up to the front of the cell.
"She just told me the whole story. You know she can't keep a secret. She brought Joshua back because he was willing to let Livvie raise Angel as her own. She's had a grudge with you for awhile now, Caleb."
"I knew she was upset about that, but thought it had passed. Great, my own wife has turned on me, and I'm again stuck in my own cell. How much worse can my day get?"
"You could be having hunger pains." Rafe says, with a chuckle.
"Don't remind me."
Angel walks up to Caleb and says "Hi. My name is Angel. What's yours?"
"I'm Caleb, I guess you could say I'm an old friend of your mom and dad," he says, noticing how she looks like Rafe, except for she has Alison's eyes. "You two have a pretty cute kid here."
"Thanks," comments Rafe, watching his little girl talking with Caleb, "We need to figure out how to get out of here, and you and Angel need to go back up to your room. We'll come get you when it's safe."
"Ok, Angel say bye to Mr. Caleb and Daddy."
"I have a secret, want to hear it?" she asks, looking up at Caleb.
"Sure, but then you need to leave."
"My mommy's going to have a baby!"
"Well, congrats to you," he says to Alison. "Now get back up there before Joshua and Livvie realize what happened."
"Bye bye, Mr. Caleb. Bye bye Daddy, I love you."
"Ok, so we know what we're up against," Rafe sighed as he went to lay down on the cot. "Somewhere, in the back of my mind what Livvie has done doesn't surprise me. I almost should have expected it earlier from her. Things were getting to become so normal. I guess it was too good to last."
"I think this is the last straw, she's betrayed me too many times. I honestly thought she'd changed, that some decent part of her still lived inside. The part that trusted me, and honored my wishes."
"So, we have to kill Joshua again. What do we do to Livvie to keep her from doing this again? Or doing something worse?" asks Rafe, turning over on the cot to go to sleep.
"Let me handle her, she's my problem and no one else's," Caleb said, still staring up at the ceiling. He didn't know how Rafe could be over there sleeping at a time like this. He figured that it was because he didn't get any sleep the night before. Eventually he did fall asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Alison was laying on the bed, it was daylight. It took her awhile, but Angel finally got to sleep. She was glad that Rafe and Caleb were working together, and not against each other like they used to do. As a team they were pretty good.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the opening of the door. She was scared to turn around, fearing that it was Joshua. Instead of hearing his voice she heard a 'psst' sound. Looking over her shoulder she saw Rafe smiling at her.
"How'd you get out? Is Joshua gone yet?" she said, sitting up.
"Yeah, he's gone. I'll tell you more later, I just want to get home."
"Ok," she smiled back. Picking up a still sleeping Angel, they went back home.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
"So whatever spell Livvie used to make him come back was only temporary?" Alison asked, fixing some sandwiches for her and Rafe.
"Yeah, when we got out of the dungeon and went upstairs he wasn't around. We found Livvie. At first she acted like he had made her come here against her will. That was until Caleb just started letting into her. That's when I left and came and got you two."
"I'd love to be a fly on that wall. So did Caleb have any idea what he was going to do?" She asked, walking over to the kitchen table.
"He said last night not to worry about it, that she was his problem. I'm just glad that I got you two back safely. I was thinking maybe I could get some time off and we go to the beach for a family vacation."
"I've done enough traveling for the past day and a half. I'd rather just spend time at home with you, Mr. Kovich."
He looked up and smiled at her. "Sounds fine to me," he said as he took a bite of sandwich.
"I've been thinking of baby names. If it's a boy, what do you think of Joshua?" she said, trying not to laugh as she spoke.
He had to catch himself from spitting his sandwich out. He looked up and just grinned at her, "Well, fine. Then if it's a girl we'll name her Olivia."
"Ok, it's settled then," she said getting up from the table and walking to the bedroom, still grinning at the thought.
"Are you sure they are here?" Caleb asks, sitting in the bushes outside his castle in Transylvania.
"Alison said there it was foggy, and she saw a cemetery in the back. You know, you really should have someone keep an eye on your other property when you're away Caleb."
