Alison watched as a bright light lit up the sky, the rain had seemed to stop. It was so beautiful and entranced her until as quickly as it came it was gone. She blinked a few times and tried to remember why she was looking out the window to begin with. She looked around the room and it felt so empty and like something or someone was missing. She shrugged it off and layed down on her bed. She closed her eyes and wrapped the blanket tightly around her feelings suddenly cold. It was easy to get to sleep as if she hadn't slept in days and soon she was dreaming. She was wrapped in the warmest embrace and felt so happy, safe, complete and most of all loved. She looked up to see the face of the man that brought out all these feelings, but his face was hidden in the shadows. He seemed so fimiliar somehow though she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She didn't question it, she just knew she never wanted to wake up if she could never find this man in the daytime. A small smile creaped on her face as she slept.

Rafe looked nervously at the door to his cousin's house, he had no idea what to expect. All he knew is that Ed said Lucy would lead him to his destiny and that he'd be expecting him. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Hold on one tinie tiny second." A voice called from the other end. When the door opened he saw her a little disheveled with toys in her hand, she eyed him suspeciously. "May I help you?"

"Lucy right?"

"Who want's to know?"

"Rafe Kovich, your cousin?" He said with a hint of uncertainty, wondering if she'd believe him.

"Oh, Oh OH." Her eyes widened with realization. "Well come in, come in. come in, don't just stand there." She waved him in and opened the door wider allowing him entry. She deposited the toys in a nearby toy box and motioned for him to sit on the couch. "Wow, my how you've grown." She shook her head in disbelief.

"Um, you do know we've never met right?"

"Yes, but it just seemed like a relitively thing to say."

"Oh, I see." he was a little perplexed, but he couldn't help, but smile at her. "So you were expecting me?"

"Well, sort of. I was doing a tarot reading and it said that an old relitive will appear on my doorstep and here you are."

"How can you be sure I'm not a psycho killer here to come and murder your whole family."

"I'm a good judge of character and besides, psycho killers don't generally knock." He couldn't help, but laugh.

"So did your cards tell you why I came here?"

"No and frankly I don't care, just the fact that I have family right here in my home is enough, just tell me your staying, you are staying right?"

"For a little while, I do eventually have to go back home."

"How long is a little while?"

"13 weeks."

"That's it? I'm sure you could stay longer, I'll make you stay longer, I'm very persuasive."

"I have no doubt that you are, but this is non negotiable, I have to leave whether I want to or not, but I am on a mission."

"And that would be?"

"I was told to find you and you would help lead me to my destiny."

"I suppose I could do a reading on you, I'm pretty accurate."

"I'm open for anything."

"Well that's great, cuz you have to be open for this to work." There was another knock on the door. "Wow, I'm Mrs. Popular today." Lucy laughed. "Why don't you go into the kitchen and get my cards and bring them back out here along with some soda's that are in the fridge, while I get rid of who ever is here."

"Alright." Rafe stood up and made his way to the kitchen. Lucy got up and walked the opposite way to the door and opened it a little surpised to see who was on the other side.

"Alison? What are you doing here, if you're looking for Livvie she's not here."

"No, I'm not looking for Livvie, I'm looking for you. Lucy, I need you're help, since you know all about these sorta things."

"What sorta things?"

"I had a dream and I want to see what it means, if it will come true or what."

"Alison, you seem freaked what was it about."

"It was the most intense dream I've ever had and I can't stop thinking about it."

"You know, now is not the best time."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"No it's just my cousin from far far far away came for a visit and I'm in the middle of something with him."

"Oh, ok, I can come back later." Alison was getting ready to leave when Rafe came out of the kitchen, Tarot cards and Soda's in his hand.

"Ok Lucy, here they are." Rafe looked up and his breath caught in his throat as he saw the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen in all his eternity. Alison couldn't take her eyes off of him, he was beyond handsome and had the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen, not to mention he seemed oddly fimiliar, something that had not escaped him either.

"Well, I guess introductions are in order." Lucy broke the two out of their staring contest and they both turned to look at her. "Rafe Kovich meet Alison Barrington, Alison this is my cousin Rafe." She watched as Rafe put down what was in his hands almost too hastily to extend a hand to her, she couldn't help, but smile at the looks these two were giving each other. Maybe she wouldn't need the tarot cards after all.

Paige looked down on Rafe and Alison and giggled lightly amazed at how quickly everything was falling into place. "I knew this would work, I just knew it."

"This is only the beginning and you know that Paige, these two have a long road ahead of them." Ed came up from behind her.

"I know, but they can feel each other in their hearts still, they feel their bond."

"Yes, but attraction is a far cry from true love, I'm just saying Paige, that those kids are going to have a long and bumpy ride ahead of them."

"Do you think they can do it?"

"I hope so, I'm rooting for them too, I hate to see the kid so unhappy." They turned back to watch Alison and Rafe who still were staring at each other their hands still joined.
