a/n: I know that Finn is the unlikely werewolf, but I thought that would give the story a little unexpected twist. I don't really like to be predictable and I also felt it would give Rachel a little bit more of an emotional struggle. I know I am not the best writer, but just bear with me. The more chapters I write the more is revealed and sometimes it even surprises me. Also sorry I am a little late in explaining myself. :)


Elena walks into her house, "Rachel? Are you home?"

Silence meets her. She sighs and walks into the kitchen. She looks in the fridge looking for something to eat. The doorbell rings. She closes the fridge and walks over to the front door. She opens it up and rolls her eyes. She attempts to slam it in her visitors face but she stops it.

Rebecca glares, "Contrary to popular belief I do actually care. I heard what Klaus did to Rachel and I wanted to make sure Rachel was… adjusting."

Elena raises her eyebrows, "How do I know this isn't some crazy scam."

Rebecca just shakes her head, "Is Rachel here or not?"

Elena frowns, "No she isn't. I don't know where she is."

Rebecca smile, "She is probably with Damon. That's where I would go if I were in love with him."

Elena furrows her brows, "She isn't in love with him."

Rebecca laughs, "You are obviously in denial. Can't get over the fact that he doesn't love you anymore?"

Elena rolls her eyes and closes the door.

She gets her phone out and calls Stefan, "Is Rachel there?"

"No, no one is home."

"Great. That means that Rachel must be off somewhere with Damon."


"So where are you taking me and why am I dressed in the ridiculous costume?"

He smirks, "you look amazing and you will see. Trust me we will be having an amazing time."

He drives into a college parking lot. He parks and gets out.

He walks around and opens her door, "You invited me to a frat party?"

Damon smiles, "Everybody is dressed in horror movie costume and drinking. Nobody would suspect a thing."

She smiles wickedly. They walk in to a crowded fraternity house.

"The trick to finding a good victim is looking for the biggest ego maniacal douche."

She looks around. She tunes into the noise all around her and hears a guy hitting on some girl, "Come on. I'm hot. You're smokin' and have a bangin' bod. We should totally get together."

Rachel grins and points, "Him."

She walks over to him and smiles flirtatiously, "Hey."

He looks over at her and half smiles, "Hey, baby. You lookin' to hook up."

She steps closer and rubs her hand up his chest and grabs the outside of his shirt and pulls him to a remote corner.

She compels him, "You won't scream. You aren't going to be scared."

She lets her fangs out and bites into his neck. She savors every drop of blood.

She pulls back and says, "Now you are going to leave all of the girls here alone and drink until you pass out."

She turns around to see Damon smiling, "Ready for some fun?"

Her smile widens and she takes the hand that he offers her. They walk out on the dance floor. Damon compels a few of the college students to be their "friends." As they dance around they drink some blood letting it drip down their faces. Rachel dances closer to Damon and puts her arms around his neck. She felt like they were dancing on air. She gets a little closer and he leans down closer and kisses her. She kisses back more urgently. He deepens the kiss. She moans under his mouth as he pulls her closer. They break apart and Rachel continues to dance. Damon grins loving the view. Rachel was having the best time of her life. Maybe being a vampire wasn't as bad as she initially thought.


They walked into the boarding house still laughing. Damon pulls her in for a kiss. They hear a cough and break apart. Elena is standing there looking at them with her arms crossed. She takes in their appearance including the blood on their clothes.

Rachel smiles, "Hey, Elena."

Elena glares, "What were you doing? No scratch that I can see clearly what you were doing. They are people not human blood bags. You can't just use them like this."

Damon scoffs, "Oh get off your high horse. We didn't kill anybody and it was all harmless fun."

Elena shakes her head, "Oh, please. Drinking people's blood is not harmless."

Rachel rolls her eyes, "God, Elena. I am a vampire. That is what vampires do. Stop being all judgmental. You don't even understand."

Elena looks sympathetic, "I get it. It's a big change for you and you are just trying to get used to it. But there are other options. Animal blood. Just ask Stefan."

Damon laughs harshly, "That's because Stefan can't drink human blood without going crazy and turning into ripper. Trust me he would rather be drinking human blood."

Rachel just shakes her head, "Listen, I know this is hard to believe, but tonight I had fun. The most fun I have had in a while. Just let me do what I need to do. I promise I won't go too crazy and start killing people."

Elena looks down for a minute, and then looks back up with a small smile, "Fine. But be careful. I am just trying to look out for you."

Rachel walks over and hugs her, "I know. And I appreciate it, but until you turn into a vampire you can't understand. I hope you never have to understand."

Elena pulls back and smiles, "I'm going leave you two alone."
