Chapter 8: The curse

"Damon, we have a problem" Stefan said when Damon entered to the boarding house

"Now what Stefan?" He asked and a girl with pixie hair that reminded him of Alice Cullen from twilight appeared, at first he didn't recognized her, he thought she looked familiar but he didn't knew why but then it hit him, she was the girl who kidnapped Elena and then disappeared

"What are you doing here?" he growled

"Calm down Damon" Stefan said "She had information for us"

"What kind of information?"

"Sit down and she'll tell us everything" Stefan said.

"What do you know?"

"You might have killed Elijah but this isn't over" Rose said

"What do you mean?" Stefan asked

"This is not over the originals will continue to search for her"

"Why?" Stefan asked "Who are the originals?"

"They are the oldest vampires of history; Klaus have been searching for the doppelganger for centuries because she's the key to break the curse"

"Klaus?" Damon asked

"Elijah was the Easter bunny compared to him; Klaus is the oldest vampire in history"

"What else does he need to break the curse?"

"There lots of things but he can get most of them easily" Rose said "He needs a vampire, a werewolf, a witch…"

"And the doppelganger…" Stefan said

"Yes but he also need something more, something that is a little bit more difficult to find than the doppelganger"

"What is it?"

"He needs a fairy"

"A fairy? Like Tinkerbell or something? Does that even exist?" Damon asked

"Yeah fairies exist and they are not like Disney fairies" Rose said "They look like any normal human being but they are strong, stronger than a werewolf but not as strong as a vampire, they also smell different but they can cover their essence because their blood makes vampire crazy. They also have other powers but that depends of each fairy"

"So why are they so difficult to find?" Damon asked

"Most of them are extinct or are really good at hiding themselves; in my five hundred years as a vampire I've only met one fairy"

"Now he only needs the doppelganger and fairy" Damon said "Fairies are hard to find so we are okay with that but whom else knows about the doppelganger?"

"Only Elijah" Rose said but didn't looked at them

"Why are you helping us?" Damon asked

"Because Lexi told me about the two of you a long time ago" Rose said "I recognized you when you went to save Elena and thought you would need some help plus I've no one else in this world, I've not heard about Lexi in months and Trevor is dead…" said with a broken voice

"Okay, you can stay here and help us" Stefan said

"You need to call Elena and tell her to come tomorrow morning before she goes to school, I'm going to sleep" Damon said before walking upstairs

Elena came by the next morning and they told her everything about the curse and Klaus and they could see she was freaking out but there was nothing they could do, Stefan decided to go to school today because he wanted to make sure Elena was okay. Damon and Rose were the only ones in the house and they were doing nothing, Damon was the kind of people who was not happy with doing nothing he needed to do something to find Klaus and try to kill him to save Elena but he didn't knew how so first he had to talk to Rose and even though he didn't trust her much because he knew she was hiding something she was also the only one who could tell them something about Klaus.

"Alright Rosebud, I need some answers" he said walking into the living room and saw her crying "Oh Please don't tell me you're crying because your buddy Trevor lost his head"

"You've always been the sensitive?" she asked sarcastically

"Pull the vampire switch" he said "It takes the emotion out of it"

"You switch yours, I switch mine"

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Being in love with your brother's girlfriend might be difficult"

"You have no idea what you are talking about; I'm not in love with anyone"

"Would you like to try that again?"

"Don't get on my bad side" he said

"Then show me your good side"

"How do I find Klaus?"

"You don't find Klaus, he finds you" she said

"Come on somebody must know somebody who knows where he is"

"Add another two hundred somebody's to that and you are still not even close"

"Humor me, you got in touch with Elijah how did you do it?"

"Through a very low somebody" she said and Damon arched his eyebrow wanting to know more "A guy name Slater in Richmond"

"Perfect, I'll drive"

"No, do you forget what sun does to us?"

"Then you drive" he said walking to the door "Come on" Rose sighed but followed him, Damon opened the door and found Rachel standing there about to knock. "Rach, what are you doing here?" he kissed her cheek

"Hi, I came to know if you wanted to have lunch with me" she said

"I would love to but we are going somewhere" he said and then Rachel saw Rose behind him.

"Oh okay" she said, suddenly she was feeling really uncomfortable.

"By the way, this is Rose" Damon said "She's helping us to protect Elena"

"Oh Okay… Hello Rose" she said relieved and Rose nodded at her and smiled.

"Do you want to come? We are going to Richmond to meet with somebody who might have some information we need"

"Um sure why not?" she smiled

"Okay, let's go. I'll explain you everything in our way there" he said and they got into Rose's car.

In their way to Richmond Damon told everything to Rachel, he told her about the curse, the originals, about Klaus and what role Rose played in all of that because they knew she might be her only way to get to Klaus and try to save Elena.

An hour later they arrived to a coffee shop in Richmond, it had a back entrance to an underground garage; they got out of the car and went to the shop where they were supposed to meet with Rose's friend Slater.

"How do you know he's going to be here?" Damon asked

"He's always here and I called him" Rose said

"Okay, just one thing" he said gripping her arm and pulling her close to whisper in her ear "If you are setting me up in any way I'll rip you heart out and shove it down your throat, something I'm very good at" he smirked and she shoved his hand away and twisted it.

"I'm older than you and stronger" she said "Don't get on my bad side. You can trust me" she let him go and they entered to the coffee shop.

"Oh what about the sunlight?" he asked

"Double paint and temper, UV rays cannot penetrate" Rose said taking her jacket off "You see the appeal now?"

"That and the free Wi-Fi" a guys said, Rose turned and hugged him.

"Hey, how are you?"

"I saw you would come, what are you doing here?"

"It's a long story… but I want you to meet…"

"Damon Salvatore, tuned 1864, Mystic Falls by Katherine Pierce aka Katerina Petrova" he said "So I take it I was right what I told you about the tomb under the church was true?"

"Yeah, thanks for the tip"

"It's Nice to meet you" he held his hand for Damon and he looked at him with a serious and almost threatening expression "… maybe" they shook hands

"This is Damon's friend Rachel" Rose said pointing at her.

"This is my girlfriend, Rachel" Damon corrected her.

"Hi" Slater said and Rachel just smiled and said hi.

"What's going on Rose?" Slater asked "Where's Trevor?" he asked, Rose and Damon looked at each other not knowing what to do.

"Well… Trevor is dead" Rose said sadly "Elijah killed him but gave me my freedom in exchange for the doppelganger but then Damon and his brother appeared, saved her and killed Elijah"

"Are you sure Elijah is dead?"

"Beyond dead" Damon said

"Trevor was a good man, he helped me with my dissertation on sexual deviants in the Bureau" Slater said

"Slater has been in college since he was turned" Rose said

"Since I was turned I've got eighteen degrees, three masters and four PhD's" Slater said

"The point?" Damon said becoming annoying and Rachel glared at him; he had no reason to talk to him like that.

"Exactly I mean what is the point what should I be doing with my eternity if you have an answer please enlighten me"

"We need your help" Rose said "If someone wanted to get in touch with Klaus, how you would come up?"

"Craigslist"

"Really?" Damon said

"Seriously by respond to personal aide that gets some to somebody who knows somebody who knows Elijah, who's dead and there's where my connection ends"

"Look here's what we know Elijah moved around during the day which means the original people knew the secret of the daylight ring now why would Klaus want to break the curse of the sun and the moon?"

"To keep the werewolves from lifting it" Slater said "If a vampire breaks the sun curse then the werewolves would be stuck with the curse of the moon forever"

"But werewolves are all extinct" Rose said

"True, I've never seen one but rumor has it…"

"Not such a rumor" Damon said and Rose and Slater looked at him.

"Mystic Falls?" Slater asked, Damon just nodded "I've got to visit this place, it sounds awesome"

"Awesome doesn't even begin to describe it" Rachel said and they looked at her because this was the first time she has talked since they arrived.

"Can we stop the curse to be broken at all?" Damon asked

"What do you mean?" Slater asked

"Well we stop the curse from being broken"

"I supposed we could do that but why do you want to do it?"

"Tell me how"

"Do you think I'm going to help you figure out how to do something that would piss off an original and keep me from walking on the sun?"

"You want to walk in the sun, I can make that happen" Damon said "If you help us"

Damon waited for Slater to think about it but before he could say anything the windows of the coffee shop blew, Damon pulled Rachel up covering her with his body, he tried to make sure he was okay but he heard someone scream in pain behind him, he turned and saw that Rose was burning, he looked back at Rachel and she nodded at him to go help Rose, he took his jacket of and covered Rose with it before talking her in his arms, he took Rachel's hand and they ran out of the coffee shop before anyone could notice anything. They ran to the car and Damon sat Rose in the back sit, she was scared and sobbing.

"You are gonna be okay" Damon said

"I know" Rose said

"Who's behind this?"

"It's not Slater, he's a good guy he wouldn't betray me"

"Then who did it?"

"It's Klaus don't you understand?" she said between sobs "You don't know this man, we are all dead" Damon closed the door of the car and went to see Rachel.

"Are you okay?" he asked but he could smell blood, he looked at her from head to toe and saw her arm was covered with blood.

"I'm okay" she said

"No, you are not, you have a big glass in your arm, I have to take it off" he said and she nodded "This is going to hurt a little okay?" He waited for her to nod again and removed the glass from her arm and she whimpered.

"I'm okay" she said again when she saw the worried look in his face, he nodded and looked back at her arm but it wasn't bleeding anymore, and the wound was healing fast.

"What the fuck?" he said out loud, Rachel looked at him and then to her arm and noticed the same thing, her wound was healing really fast and she had no idea why.

"Have something like that happened to you before?"

"No, this is the first time" she whispered scared "What's happening to me? What am I, Damon?"

"I don't know, Rach" he hugged her "But we'll find out, okay?"

"Okay" she nodded and they got in the car. In their way back Rachel couldn't stop wondering what the hell was going on with her, first she threw Tyler across a parking lot and now she healed really fast, that wasn't normal that couldn't be normal, she would be freaking out if it wasn't for Damon who was squeezing her hand, trying to comfort her and telling her he was there for her. They got back to the boarding house and Rose said she was going to drink a glass of blood and take a nap because she was exhausted.

"Rach" Damon said "Can you please say something? You have been quite all our way back here and it's starting to freak me out"

"I…"

"Yes?"

"I'm really confused right now" she said

"I know, this is a lot to process but I need to know if something else happened to you" Damon said "Have anything weird happened lately?"

"Umm… A few weeks ago I threw Tyler across the parking lot" Rachel said

"Really, why?"

"He was freaking out about turning into a werewolf so he was stalking Caroline and I demanding us to tell him what we knew and we tried to walk away he grabbed my hand so I pushed him trying to make him get out of my way but instead he flew across the parking lot and hit a car"

"Wow, okay so you are also stronger than a werewolf" Damon said "Are you stronger than a vampire?"

"I don't know, I've never tried"

"Well let's do an experiment" Damon smirked, he told her to throw a punch to his hand so he could know how strong she was, she did and he wasn't prepared for her strength she was much more stronger than he imagined so he called Stefan and told him to come home immediately.

"What's up?" Stefan asked as he entered to the house.

"Lots of things, but I called you because of Rachel"

"Okay… what's going on with you, Rach?"

"We have no idea" she said

"She's really strong, she's not as strong as us but she's stronger than a werewolf and she heals fast just like us"

"That can't be possible" Stefan said

"Look at this" Rachel said and took a knife that was on a table.

"Rach, you don't have to do that" Damon said

"It's okay, he needs to see it" She said and cut the palm of her hand.

"What are…" Stefan tried to say but then he saw her hand again and it was already healing "What the hell?"

"That exactly what I said, Do you think she is a …?"

"I don't know… Maybe" Stefan said

"We need to figure this out"

"Yes, I need to know what I am" Rachel said

"Okay, it's time to investigate" Stefan said

"Do you think that there might be something in dad's journals?"

"Maybe, he wrote about all kind of things" Stefan said "I'm going to tell Bonnie to look in the grimore and in Emily's journals, Emily knew everyone and everything I bet there might be something"

"Okay, Rachel and I will be in the library reading some of the old journals" he took Rachel's hand and they went to the library. "We're going to find out what you are, I promise." He pulled her close and kissed her lightly "Everything's going to be okay"

"I know" she kissed him again before they pulled apart and went to read the journals, each took one, sat in the couch and started reading, both of them lost track of time as they were really focused, the next time they looked at the clock, it was 8pm and that meant they have been sitting there from 3 hours.

"Wow, it's really late" Rachel said "I should call my mom, she must be really worried. Can I stay here?"

"Sure" he smirked "Do you want to sleep with me again?"

"Yeah right" she laughed "I really want to find out what I am soon or I won't be able to sleep"

"We will Rach, calm down" he kissed her forehead

"Okay, I'm going to call my mom" she smiled and went to call her mom; she told her she was staying at Caroline's and convinced her.

"Bonnie is here, she says she found something" Damon said when she came back to the library. "Are you ready to find out what you are?"

"No, not really but I need to know"

"It's going to be okay" he hugged her and they went to the living room where Caroline, Stefan and Bonnie were waiting for her.

"What did you find out?" Damon asked

"Emily met someone like Rachel, it was a man, of about 30 years old, he had the same characteristics and some other powers that he developed with time"

"What was he?"

"He was a fairy" Bonnie said, Damon and Stefan looked at each other knowing what that would mean. Rachel felt as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water to her, she couldn't think straight, she felt her muscles go numb and she was about to fall but she couldn't do anything to stop it, luckily Damon noticed that and put his arm around her waist before she could hit the ground, he sat her in the couch and noticed she was really pale and she had a lost look, he getting really worried.

"Rach? Rach, please say something" he pleaded, Bonnie, Caroline and Stefan approached them. "Rach, please baby look at me" he pleaded again but Rachel didn't react, Bonnie and Caroline shared a look when Damon called Rachel "baby" because they would have never imagine Damon as the loving type of boyfriend, it was weird but they would mock him about that later when they knew Rachel was okay.

"Rachel please say something, you are freaking us out" Caroline said and with that Rachel seemed to snap out of her weird trance.

"I…I just… I have to process this" Rachel said

"It's okay, Rach" Damon said "I know it's a lot to take, just take your time to process it"

"I need to take walk" Rachel said standing up

"I'll go with you" Damon said and she nodded. "Be back later" Damon said to Stefan and they walked out of the house. Damon took Rachel's hand and laced his fingers with hers, they walked through the woods for almost half an hour and in that time Rachel haven't said anything, she was lost in her thoughts and Damon couldn't take it anymore, he needed to know what was going on in her head.

"Rach, talk to me please" he said "If you don't talk to me I can't help you. Please tell me what's going on in that pretty little head"

"I'm fairy, Damon" she said in disbelieve "I'm a fucking fairy" she stopped walking and faced Damon "I'm part of that curse, I'm going to die" she said with tears in her eyes. "I don't want to die"

"You're not going to die, I'm not going to let anyone hurt you" Damon said pulling her into a hug and she started crying in his chest "If anyone wants to touch you they have to kill me first"

"Don't say that… I would rather die than see you get hurt"

"We'll protect you" Damon said "Between Stefan, Caroline, Bonnie and I, We'll make sure you're safe"

"You guys are also protecting Elena, you're going to get hurt for trying to protect us and I can't live with that"

"We can handle that, plus no one knows you exist so unless any of us tells Klaus about you, you'll be safe" Damon hugged her "Just trust me, okay?"

"Okay" she nodded and kissed him, it was passionate and needy, it was like she needed to kiss Damon to get through everything and actually she did, she knew that without him she couldn't get through all of that and would be a total mess.

"Ready to go back?" he asked when they pulled apart, she nodded and they walked back to the boarding house.
