A/N: First read the chapter-there's another note at the bottom. Enjoy!
~~~~~~
Livvie was lighting candles as there was a knock on the door, "I'll get it," she said as she blew out the match and went to see who it was, "Alison, is everything ok?" she asked.
"Yeah, I just wanted to give you your jacket. I'm on my way to dinner with my mom," she said handing the jacket over. "Something smells good," she said as the aroma made its way to the hall.
"Caleb's cooking something-he says it's a surprise."
"He can cook? I'm impressed," she laughed.
"Yeah, I guess living for hundreds of years you have to learn to cook for yourself," she shrugged. "Well, I better get back in. Enjoy dinner with Elizabeth," she said with a smile.
"Who was that?" asked Caleb as he came out with two plates of pasta.
"That was Alison," she said holding up the jacket and putting it in the closet. "That smells so good," she said as she went to sit down and he fed her a bite.

Jack was drawing again the new outline for the place when he heard his name called. He looked up and saw Jamal standing there and his jaw dropped, "What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I came for a visit, and tie up some loose ends. What's wrong-am I not supposed to be here?" he said looking around.
"No, you aren't. You are supposed to be in Alabama where Rafe is. He got your cell phone message and--."
Jamal interrupted Jack just then, "I never called Rafe. And if it was about the werewolf guy, it's over-I killed him myself."
Jack then began to explain to Jamal everything that had happened for the past two and a half months, from the wedding to the Halloween party, to the sudden appearance of Rafe's friend from home.

"Will you please wipe that grin off your face," teased Chris as he walked up to the desk from seeing a patient.
"Look who's talking," he said. "Anyways, I was just trying to decide how to tell Lucy I'm normal again."
"You will never be normal," he said with a laugh as he went and picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Hi Lucy," he said trying to ignore Ian's attempt to grab the phone from him.
"Hi Chris," said a confused Lucy. "Do you need something?"
"Yes, I just wanted to tell you-darn," he said as Ian finally got the phone from him.
"Hi," said Ian with a hint of laughter in his voice.
"Uhm, hi. What was Chris wanting to tell me?"
"Nothing, but I did want to ask you something," he said as Chris grabbed another chart and left. "I was wondering how you would like to celebrate tonight."
"Celebrate what exactly?"
"Oh nothing really-just the fact I'm not a vampire," he said as he heard a squeal from the other end of the phone. "I take it you are happy."
"Happy? More like thrilled. Ok, I'm going to go drop the kids off at Gail's and get something for dinner."
"Why don't we not send the kids away tonight," he said jotting down a quick note as he went to the next file. "Anyways, I've got a load of work to do for right now. I'll call you when I can make it home."
"Ta," she said hanging up the phone and still grinning.
--------
Alison was halfway down the steps when her cell phone began to ring, "Hello?" she asked.
"Alison, I'm so glad you are answering. Where are you?" asked Jack who was now grabbing his keys and locking up the Elixir.
"I just dropped off Livvie's jacket and am going to meet my mom. Why?"
"I can't explain now. I want you to go back to Livvie and Caleb's and stay there until we get there."
"We?"
"Jamal and I."
"Jamal? What is happening? Where is Rafe?" asked a frantic Alison as she turned around and saw Annette standing at the top of the steps. "Annette," she gasped, and then screamed as the woman pushed her down the steps.
--------
Livvie and Caleb were sitting on the couch eating when they heard her scream in the hall. Caleb jumped up and was out the door before Livvie could sit down her plate. He stood at the top of the now deserted stairs seeing Alison at the bottom, and then went down them. "Hey, open your eyes," he said as Livvie came bounding down the stairs. "Try and wake her up. I'm calling an ambulance," he said as he ran back up the steps. He had just left when Livvie heard the footsteps on the stairs, "That was quick," she said looking up to see Annette. "What-what are you doing here?"
"You'll find out soon enough," she said now standing directly over to the two girls.
"Rafe," whispered Alison.
"It's me, Ali. Caleb's calling for help. It's going to be ok, don't worry," she said running her hands over her hair.
"No it's not. The only way it would be ok is if Caleb had never come to this town," said Annette grabbing Livvie and stepping over and leaving with her.
"Caleb!" screamed Livvie as she left.
Caleb came running back around the corner just that second to see the door to the outside closing shut. He ran outside and looked around for her, "Olivia!"
--------
"Well, time to celebrate," said Ian as he came into the doctor's lounge to see Chris getting ready to go.
"Yeah, I just called Jack, but he's not answering. Must have got busy all of a sudden," he said as Colleen walked in.
"I was wondering if you two would mind staying a bit longer."
"Colleen, we love you, but I think it's time to say good night."
"I really need you to do a consultation on someone coming in. You may actually be interested in who it is," she said handing the folder to Ian.
He looked at it once and then again, "Where is she?"
"The ambulance is on the way to pick her up now."
"Who is it?" asked Chris as Ian handed him the folder, "Alison."

A/N: Ok, I'm pretty sure right now two of the three Awians are screaming bloody murder, and worried about Alison. Don't jump to any conclusions- wait and see what I have planned. PCGirl.
