Rachel's house was strangely quiet when she came home after school. She couldn't tell if they had heard about Rachel getting detention. She takes off her shoes, setting them by her parents' shoes and tries to head to her room but she heard her father call her name. She winces. Trigon used her full name. Not a good sign. Rachel sighs but puts on a fake smile so her father doesn't suspect anything. She was face to face with him, her father reading the newspaper with his leg crossed as he was sitting on one of the kitchen chairs, smoking his pipe.

"Hello, Father. How are you today?"

Trigon's eyes were slanted as his stare was cutting her up like meat, making her shiver mentally and physically.

"Rachel, what happened after school?"

"Nothing. Just hanging with some friends..."

"Friends who like to set fires to dumpsters?"

She winced.

He knows.

Her mother comes in the kitchen, pouring tea into her husband's cup, as she smiles at her only child but it changes when she saw the look that Trigon was giving her.

"Trigon, dear, are you okay?"

"Rachel, tell your mother about what happened after school with your...'friends'."

Her mother, Angela, looks angelic as she looks worriedly at her daughter.

"Rachel...?"

Rachel sighs. "Yes, Dad, me and some girls were setting fires, but you CANNOT judge me since YOU used to do it when you were going to school!"

"That was a long time ago, young lady, and you know IT. Don't use me as an excuse to misbehave! You know our rules.", says Trigon as he shakes his head and glares at her.

"Mom, tell Dad he's being a...a...big BABY."

Angela gasps while Trigon sneers.

"How dare you talk to me, your FATHER, like that?!", Trigon yells as he stands up violently.

"Yes, how 'dare' I talk back to the man who raped my mother...?"

Everything, everyone, went silent.

Rachel quickly covers her mouth. She'd NEVER had thought of snapping at her parents like that before..! Rose had changed her completely...! Rose. Her heart sank when she thought of her. Rachel tried not to cry in front of her parents. She didn't want them to know what was she thinking. Trigon stares at his daughter as she was starting to choke up.

"Dad..."

Trigon walks away, making Rachel sniffle and cry. Angela hugs her daughter and strokes her hair.

"Mom, I..."

"Shh. It's okay. How'd...you find out...?"

"I've heard stories...is it true?"

"Don't worry about it, sweetie."

"But, Mom-"

"Shh...your father will get over it. Now, PLEASE stay out of trouble."

Rachel nods as her mother kisses her cheek and smiles, walking away and going into her room to take a nap.

Rachel's cell phone was ringing. Checking the caller ID, it was Rose.

Crap.

Should she answer it?

Well...she didn't want to be rude.

"Hello?", answers Rachel.

"Where'd you said your house was again?"

"I...never told you where my house was..."

"Well, can you TELL me, dammit?"

"Um..."

Should she DARE tell Rose where she lives, for she might seek revenge and kill her...if she hasn't killed the Titans first.

"Rach, I'm losing patience."

"It's a two-story black and purple house a few blocks from the school."

Shit.

Now Rachel might die.

"Rose, why do-"

There was a knock on the door.

Rachel's heart was pounding out of her chest.

"Just a second.", she yells as she was thinking of a way to escape death.

Then, she thought about it.

She's immortal.

She can't possibly die...!

She mouths a tiny 'thank you' to God and opens the door, shocked to see Rose wearing a neon blue t-shirt and camo pants and Timberland boots. Rachel blushes. She DID look chic...and cute. Rachel gulps as she shivers, then shakes her thoughts and lets Rose go inside, even though she barged inside rudely anyway. Rachel scoffs and huffs through her nose.

Snob.

Rose flops on the purple and white big couch in the middle of the family room, kicking her feet up on the burgundy coffee table. Rachel closes her eyes and breathes through her nose.

"PLEASE don't put your feet upon the furniture, Rose."

Rose glares at her but eventually puts her feet down. "Or what? You'll unleash the 'great and powerful' Trigon Roth upon me to banish me to the demonic world?"

Rachel cringes.

"Face it, Rach. I'm nothing but trouble and you're NUTS to be with me."

"You're right; I'm nuts to be with you. But, that doesn't mean we can't change each other."

Rose looks at Rachel and cups Rachel's face with her hands, kissing her.

Rachel returns her kiss, but they stop when they a single crash on the floor. The sound of a teacup being dropped, hitting the ground. As they turn to see where it was coming from, they saw Trigon's face, for it was filled with shock and horror of the image of his daughter and only child kissing a FEMALE in his household. Rachel blushes hardly while Rose waves slowly.
