Torn:
Torn starts out with Rafe lighting the candle in the hospital chapel and bringing Kevin back. And then going to Alison’s room, and he is drawn to kiss her, and SHE WAKES UP! Just like sleeping beauty! Alison wakes up thinking that she is in heaven, and surprised to see Rafe, kissing him and telling him how much she loves him, but Rafe is very confused. Alison explains to him how she collapsed and how they were meant to be together, but Rafe says he doesn’t remember her. Soon Jack, Jamal, and Ian enter the room and are surprised at Alison’s awakening. They said they knew if Rafe came, she would wake, but Rafe was still so confused about the whole situation. After they leave, Alison talks about how happy she is he is back, and how they can continue their lives together. Rafe tells her that he is already married. Alison mistakenly goes on about their ceremony and how beautiful it was. Livvie walks in and tells Alison that they are married, and took Rafe out of the room, next to see the Kevin was back, she still then left. Rafe and Livvie are in the hallway when Livvie makes up that she is pregnant to keep Rafe with her. The supernatural creature of this book was the Avatar, who was hosted by Frank. Desperate to get pregnant, Livvie sleeps with him. Alison took the fact that Livvie was having Rafe’s baby very hard, but she knew that she was lying about everything. She tried telling Rafe these things, but still, he wouldn’t listen. Sneaky Jack locked Rafe and Alison in the Barrington attic, and Alison convinced Rafe to kiss her, and he did! After they got out, Rafe met Alison in the park to tell her that he couldn’t be with her because he made a commitment to Livvie and his baby. So they shared a sad goodbye in the park. Crying, Alison turned to Jack. They celebrated her 21st birthday in the park with pizza and a little alcohol. They started become closer and they even shared a few kisses. Jack even asked Alison to become a model for him. Alison realizes where this is going, and tells Jack they should just be friends. While this is happening, Rafe and Ian get together to fight off the Avatar. Knowing what they are doing, Livvie tries to stop them, she doesn’t want Rafe to find about the truth of her baby’s father. Frank/Avatar doesn’t like that the two men are trying to interfere with what he has come to Port Charles to do, so to torment them, he tries to hurt the 2 people the men love, Danny (Ian’s son) and Alison. Ian gets Danny out safe, but Alison is in danger, and she falls off the cliff onto a rock a few feet down from where she had fallen off. Rafe diving to save her said something to the effect of “I came back for you, now you come back to me” and reaches as far as he can for Alison, but he can’t to her. But then magically their hands grasp together and Rafe pulls her to safety and Alison falls into Rafe’s arms. Alison then tried to convince they only reason he saved her was because of his magic, and the fact that it was true love that got them together like that. But Rafe refused and went back to Livvie, but still though to himself the things that Alison had said to him. Lucy, being the ‘universe’ nut that she is, knew that something had to have happened for Rafe to come back without a memory, so she convinces Alison to have a seance and talk to .. someone. During the middle of the seance, a bright light came over Lucy’s house, and a single piece of paper fell onto the floor. The paper said “A soul without love, is a lost soul.” Alison knew what she had to do, she need to make Rafe fall back in love with her in order to save his soul. Rafe and Ian’s plans to expose the Avatar came to a halt, when they trapped him in a silo. But then Livvie came and hit Rafe on the head, and started the silo on fire, but her and Rafe were stuck in the fire, but Frank/Avatar got out with the help of Karen. Alison and Ian came to the rescue and saved both Livvie and Rafe. Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Kevin found out that Livvie had blackmailed a nurse to change the paternity test to make it seem like Rafe was the father. Kevin told Lucy and Lucy told Alison. Alison wanted so bad to tell Rafe, but she knew that he had to come to her on his own, to fall in love with her, baby or no baby. But Alison did know that if things were different, Rafe would want to be with Alison instead. Finally, putting Livvie behind him, Rafe told Alison that he wanted to spend a day with her in the park, to see if he really had true feelings for her. Alison couldn’t let the opportunity pass by. Happy that Rafe could finally figure things out, he sat in the park waiting for Alison. But Frank kidnapped her, thanks to a little blackmail from Livvie. He chained her to a tree, and almost killed her. He didn’t kill her because Alison opted to leave Port Charles and not come back. Back in the park, Rafe got worried, and knew that it was Livvie’s fault, (she showed up in the park) Rafe told her that he was sick of her lies, and they were done for. Then Rafe went back to the barn, and carved his and Alison’s names back into the pole (that Livvie had sanded off so Rafe wouldn’t know) Alison couldn’t leave town knowing that she might have a chance with Rafe. Somehow the Avatar knew this, and Alison got trapped in a bear trap. As true love’s fate had it, Alison got out of the trap and went to the barn, where Rafe was. She saw that Rafe had carved the names back in and many questions went through her mind. Rafe had not yet remembered, but he told Alison that no matter what their past was, he had fallen in love with Alison, and they rejoiced with a kiss. During that kiss, Rafe stopped and shouted “I REMEMBER”. They kissed again, to their dismay, Livvie was there listening, and shot Rafe. Alison begged Rafe to hold on, but Rafe knew he had to go back to heaven, and they shared a very emotional goodbye. Rafe eyes closed and Alison laid Rafe down saying “goodbye my angel” and Rafe’s body disappeared. After yelling at Livvie for killing Rafe, Alison got the courage to leave Port Charles. Alison said goodbye to Lucy, Jack and Jamal, and got onto the train. Looking out the window Alison said goodbye to Rafe and to Port Charles. As the train started moving, Alison looked into a puff of smoke, and out walked ..RAFE! Alison ran to the back of the train, while Rafe was running towards her saying “They brought me back WAHOO, they brought me back to be with you!” and they grasped hands and fell onto the deck of the train kissing.

Naked Eyes:
Alison and Rafe shared a joyous night on (what Rafe called) “the love train”. Alison decided that she wanted to slip into something more ‘comfortable.’ As she was doing that, Rafe went to the door to put the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign up. A lady selling roses walked by, and Rafe asked for one single pink rose, and the lady said she only had red, yellow and white, so Rafe bought a yellow one anyway. Alison came back out and asked him what was behind his back and he said ‘well its not really the same thing but—‘ and he pulled the rose out from behind his back, and it turned into a pink rose, and Alison said “no its perfect!” They got back into bed together, and Alison decided to turn on the radio. The song “Naked Eyes” (the arc’s theme song) came on and Rafe got the feeling that they needed to go back to Port Charles right away. So they went back. The next day they arrived at Jack’s house because Alison wanted to tell him she was back, so Rafe left and went to Lucy’s (but she wasn’t there) Alison walked in, only to see Livvie. Livvie and Alison argued back and forth about Rafe and Livvie decided to leave, opening the door, shocked to see Rafe, alive! The two ganged up on her and confronted her about her lying, and they forced her to sign annulment papers, and she left. Finally Rafe and Alison were left alone in Jack’s house, and Rafe proposed to Alison, and she accepted, she told Rafe she wanted a Christmas wedding. Livvie, still angry with Rafe and Alison put a poison into Alison’s bath that would eventually kill her. In doing so, Livvie dropped her ring into the tub and fell in, she got out and got to General Hospital, Karen broke her heart by telling her that she had lost her baby. Livvie knew she couldn’t do anything to Rafe and Alison anymore, and moved on. While this was happening, Rafe had bought Alison an engagement ring, and walking out of the Recovery Room, he ran into a woman (not knowing it was Alison’s mother, Elizabeth) Rafe went on about how much he loved Alison and how they were soul mates, and Elizabeth just listened. Rafe told her he was talking Alison out to eat, and Elizabeth asked for a ride to the hotel. Rafe agreed and said they had to go back to his house first, and Elizabeth said it was okay because she wanted to meet this girl he didn’t stop talking about. Rafe brought Elizabeth home, to a shocked Alison who said when they walked in “mother.” Elizabeth came home to tell Alison that her father had died. Alison was not happy about this at all and ordered her mom out of her house. After that, Rafe went to Lucy’s to tell her he was back, surprised she excepted it and Rafe then told her he and Alison were engaged, but told her the bad news about Alison’s dad. Rafe then came home to a sleeping Alison, and knowing that she was going through a tough time, he entered Alison’s dream and had her dream about when Alison was little with her dad. After that, the reading of Alison’s will came, and as the man was reading it, he read that Elizabeth gets $1.00 from him, and that the rest be split between Alison’s father’s, 2 children. Shocked to learn she had another sibling, Alison was determined to find them. So determined that she told Elizabeth that if she helped find Alison’s brother or sister, she would give her mother her half of the money, Elizabeth agreed. Meanwhile, a new band called “The Stephen Clay Experience” came to Port Charles and Lucy and Rafe did not like their music and they felt there was something strange about the whole thing. Little did they know that Alison’s mother was dating Stephen Clay, until the band held a Halloween Party, and although Rafe didn’t want to go, Alison begged him, and he couldn’t say no to her, so they went. They came face to face with a masked Stephen Clay. Rafe knew he had seen that face some where, and it bothered him for the rest of the night. Soon after that the Stephen Clay Experience held a concert which would unvail who Stephen Clay really was. At the concert, Stephen Clay rose from the bottom of the stage and revealed himself to a shocked crowd, he looked just like Caleb Morley, the vampire. Angered, Rafe jumped unstage and told the crowd that Stephen Clay was a vampire, yet Stephen denied everything, and Rafe was pulled off stage. In the crowd, Alison warned her mother to stay far away from Stephen because of what he might do to her. After the concert, days went by and Rafe began worrying more about Caleb everyday, and Alison didn’t like it at all, she didnt want to loose Rafe again. While getting ready for bed, Rafe comforted Alison and told her she wouldn’t loose him again, and he pulled out the engagement ring he had bought for her when he ran into Elizabeth. He then proposed again, and Alison took the ring and smiled from ear to ear. The next day Elizabeth told Alison that she had found the woman who claimed to have Alison’s dad’s child. So Alison got onto a plane with Elizabeth. Alison had called Rafe and told him her plans and she wanted him to join her. Meanwhile, Jack and Rafe were raising hell, when Jack tried to drive a stake through Stephen, but him and Jack got arrested instead. Stephen the borded the plane with Alison and Elizabeth. And the plane took off, Alison asked the pilot to turn the plane around but he couldn’t because of bad weather. Stephen then told her about Jack and Rafe and Alison convinced him to drop all the charges. When they got out of jail, Rafe learned that Alison’s plane had dropped off of the radar and began worrying. The jet had crashed because of the bad weather. Haaving this happen, Elizabeth felt so bad about neglecting Alison for so long. Stephen helped both the women, and the two girls told eachother that they love one another and they would start to change their ways. Alison then was convinced that Stephen wasn’t Caleb, but Rafe still didn’t believe him. Alison and Rafe fought a few times about it but they still believed the same things in the end. Little did they know that Stephen had bitten Elizabeth so that he could stay with her. Elizabeth started to act strange and Rafe began to get suspisious. When the women from Canada showed up unannounced to Elizabeth, she came to the confession that it was all a set up, and sent the woman home, Alison was very upset about it all. Stephen then conviced Elizabeth to rip up the contract that Alison had made about her half of the money, and Alison decided to give her mother a chance. To prove Alison who Stephen Clay really is, Rafe entered Alison’s dream again. But things went wrong, Stephen entered the dream, bit and killed Alison. She had woken up horrified. Rafe admitted to doing this, and Alison and him got into a fight. She told him that he needed to stop with the nonsence before she ended it for good. Rafe agreed, and they wanted to live a normal life. In effort to do that, Rafe went to Lucy for advice. She gave Rafe the idea to start a business, a gym to be exact. Alison walked into the place excited to see Rafes new hair cut, and his idea of a normal life and job. Elizabeth still acted wierd and Rafe and Alison became concerened. Rafe and Alison went up to Elizabeth’s aparement, to find her and Stephen in bed, even though Stephen was hiding the fact that Elizabeth had bitten him. Stephen walked into the hallway to apologize for the misconvience. Rafe noticed that Stephen had to spots of blood on his robe. Rafe then convinced Ricky to steal a bottle of Stephen’s ‘special blend’ water and had it tested by Chris. Christ told him that the water was some type of serem, vampire serem. Rafe went to confront Stephen, and found him showing his fangs, and his glowing red eyes. Stephen vanished into thin air, but Rafe found him not a second later, they fought and in the end Rafe drove a stake through Stephen. Rafe was shocked to see Stephen pull out the stake and say how he was ammune to the stake. Rafe and Alison’s wedding came just around the corner. A private investigater stopped and gave Alison a chest of things he had found of her fatheres. Alison searched, and found a picture of the woman who was the mother of her brother or sister. One episode was Alison sitting at a table writing a letter to what she hoped, was her future child. The wedding came and Alison gave Rafe a present of a solar watch, so the he knew their time together would never end. The day of the wedding, Rafe sneaks into the living room before the vows to give Alison a braclet with a locket on it that once belonged to his mother. The arc ends with Alison standing at the end of the isle waiting to marry the man of her dreams.
