Chapter 2

Inside the recovery room the birthday was starting to wind down a bit and everyone was getting tired. "So what did you think of the party?" Karen asked helping Alison pick up some of the wrapping paper. "Oh the party was lovely and I am so happy that you all came." Alison said giving Karen a hug in between picking up the paper. Rafe then came up to Alison and put his arms around her "My other present to you comes later tonight." Rafe whispered in Alison's ear and made Alison smirk and turn around looking into Rafe's eyes "You know I love you Rafe Kovich--with all my heart and soul." Alison replied and then giving him a passionate kiss on the lips.

"Well I think we are going to get going." Caleb said interrupting the two lovers. "Alright, thanks for coming you two." Alison said giving Caleb and Livvie a hug and they all said their good-byes and Caleb and Livvie left.

Outside the recovery room Livvie drops something and stopped "Caleb my necklace broke again--could you help me find it?" Livvie asked looking into Caleb's sharp blue eyes and Caleb and Livvie kneeled down and started searching for the necklace on the ground. Suddenly a woman wearing red stiletto heels which laced up her calf stood above Caleb. "Looking for something?" the woman asked in a seductive tone and Caleb looked up at the woman who was wearing a short red strapless mini dress and her make-up was done with dark tone. Livvie looked over at Caleb who had been staring at the woman and she hit him in the arm and Caleb got out of his trance. "Yes we are looking for something--I lost my necklace." Livvie said with annoyance in her voice. The woman laughed a breathless laugh and bent down and picked up this beautiful necklace with a most interesting cross "Is this the necklace you're looking for?" the woman asked in a breathy voice. Livvie and Caleb both got up and Livvie rolled her eyes and took the necklace from her "Thank you" Livvie said putting the necklace on "good-bye" Livvie said "dragging" Caleb along. Caleb pulled Livvie towards him to stop her from rushing down the ally way to get a cab "What's wrong with you tonight?" Caleb asked looking into Livvie's eyes "Something about that woman just got to me and rubbed me the wrong way." Livvie replied and Caleb gave her a grin and took her in his arms and kissed her gently on her lips "It'll be all right." Caleb replied and then they started walking together.

Inside the Recovery Room the woman walked in and Rafe noticed her right away.

"Sweetie can you hold on for a little--I will help you bring the presents to the car but I need to go and talk to someone really fast." Rafe whispered into Alison's ear and then gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Okay--don't be to long because I am expecting the present from you tonight." Alison replied with a seductive look in her eye and Rafe replied back with a big grin on her face. Rafe then walked over to the woman who had settled down and ordered a drink and he sat right across from her.

"Hello Jessica." Rafe said with a smile "So how are you doing?" The woman looked up at Rafe with evil in her eyes. "Oh I am doing fine… surprised that no one has killed you yet though." Jessica replied with a laugh. "Not as surprised as I am to see you still walking and talking and sucking the lives out of the people you come in contact with." Rafe said with a smirk and then got up "Tell your sister I said hi--she's the good twin at least." Rafe said and walked over to Alison. "You'll get what's coming to you sweetie." Jessica said with a grin.

"Rafe who was that?" Alison asked looking confused. "Oh just a woman that I knew in Transylvania--no big deal." Rafe continued "Lets get these presents together and go home." Rafe and Alison then gathered the presents together and left the Recovery Room.
