All of a sudden they heard the front door open and close, and in walked Stefan. He looked confused seeing a young girl with them. "What's going on? Damon did you compel her? Zach did he?" Rachel stood up and walked to Stefan standing in front of him she said "Hi, my name is Rachel Nicole Salvatore-Pierce. I'm your daughter." Stefan's face dropped.

Chapter 4
Stefan walked around Rachel and stood in front of Stefan who then stood up to Stefan. "Catch a bunny brother? By the way that kid over there" he pointed to Rachel "IS yours, she brought this nifty little scrap book too, take a look." "Um, thanks for backing me up? My mom wanted me to tell you, she's been trying to reach my sister, Nadia for years, but she hasn't called back." Stefan stopped right before he picked up the scrap book "Katherine? Katherine is your mother? That's impossible, she died." "No, she's very much undead, when she came back, she came back pregnant, and that baby was me." "What day were you born?" "May 1st, 1992. She said if you wanted to talk to her I could bring you back to our house." "Can you explain how you're you? And everything that will happen along with you being you?" He asked. Rachel knew, just like she knew with Kol what he wanted to know, she was open to telling Stefan, I mean, he was her father. "I'm not trying to be rude, Rachel, but I would like to know as well." the man who she knew as Zach said. She knew eventually he could possibly work up to the Uncle Zach position, but for now, he was just Zach. Rachel sat down and explained everything about how she had to die and she would be truly immortal, also about the wolf and witch in her, which her mother and Kol are still trying to figure out. "Kol has been nice, for most of my life up until now, or all of my life up until now he was just a phone call but now he lives with us." Stefan was still processing how Katherine had befriended the Originals. He already loved Rachel more than anything. "Damon, Zach can you excuse us? Rachel come with me." He walked to the stairs and led her up to his room, she followed him. He closed the door. "Do you know what this is?" he said pulling out Sage. "If you have witch in you, you can burn it and Damon won't be able to listen it." He extended it out to her, she was cautious, but took it. He also handed her a lighter. She lit the sage and waved it, making it smoke a lot. "There, now he shouldn't be able to hear." "Stefan, what's your opinion on me? Do you think I'm a freak?" she said looking down trying to hide her sad expression, and holding back her tears. He walked up to her and touched her shoulder. "No, I already think you're perfect." She looked up to him. "Really?" "Really, I tell you what, from this moment on, I will be your dad, I will do everything I'm supposed to do, I promise. I don't care if it's 4:30 in the morning or midnight or even noon, if you need me call me. I'm here." She was shocked, she expected him to hate her, and want nothing to do with her." "I tell you what, I have some friends, Caroline and Bonnie. Caroline is a vampire, she just turned and she's sixteen, and Bonnie is also sixteen, and a witch. I can call them and see if they want to meet you. They go to Mystic High. I'll only call if you want me to?" Rachel thought it was funny how her father had two high school friends but she was happy he would help her know some people. "Okay, and can you explain everything to them." Referring to her supernatural identity. "Yes, of course." He took out his phone and called Caroline, who he knew was with Bonnie. Rachel took out her phone and texted her mom and Kol to let them know where she'd be. She sent a different text to Kol though.
Hey, my dad is taking me to the Grill to meet some friends that are my age and also sophmores, can you be there? Just at the bar or something, I just want you to be there. I don't know why but I do. –R
He later responded, right as Stefan got off the phone with Caroline
Yes, of course darling, if you want me to be.
Thanks Kol. Xox
"Caroline and Bonnie are excited to meet you, their on their way to the Grill right now, do you want to drive?" "Actually can we walk? It's beautiful outside and it would give us more time to get to know each other." "Yea, sure." She exited the room and went downstairs followed by Stefan, Damon was in the living room reading the newspaper and drinking whiskey "Burning sage Stefan, tsk tsk, not nice."
"Suck it up Damon, she's my daughter, not yours" "Whatever Stef, just don't screw up." Rachel wondered what Damon meant by "Don't screw up." Don't screw up….The thought echoed in her mind as she and her father exited the house walking down the street on the way to town. "I feel like I should let you know, Kol is going to be there." "Why?" "I just feel safer with him around." Stefan nodded as they continued walking. Stefan told her of his multiple adventures and how he was in the war. She told him about how she used to sing and that she was in glee club. Suddenly her phone rang, it was Kurt. "Sorry I have to take this" "Go ahead."
R- Kurt! God I miss you!
K- Same, Santana won't stop crying saying it's all her fault you left and how she never thought she'd miss you but she misses you so much, and how you were such a good person and how she misjudged you all for the sake of her popularity.
R- she said those things?
K- hell yes she did! So I asked my dad if we could move and Mercedes asked her parents if she could come- he said yes and her parents did too! But guess who else is coming?
R- OH MY GOD! THAT'S GREAT! And did you just say someone else is coming
Stefan was listening in, he thought it was a bit dangerous for her friends to come, but she was happy and he was too, but not just because she was but because he was greatful to know she had such great friends.
K- Sam and Puck!
Puck? What kind of name is Puck? Stefan thought
R- OH MY GOD! THIS IS AWESOME! Look Kurt, I have to go but I will skype you later, okay?
K- Bye girly, and okay!
~call ended~
Stefan and Rachel walked up to the front of the Grill and he said "You ready?" "Yes, I need friends who are from here, and they're supernatural as well, which is great." "Okay then" and with that they walked inside, up to a booth where a Blonde haired girl and a brunette girl were. "HI! I'm Caroline! It's so nice to meet you!" Caroline said jumping out of her spot hugging Rachel. Rachel didn't hug back because she barely knew the person. Caroline pulled away. "Don't mind her, she gets super happy." The girl who must be Bonnie said. "I'm going to go get a drink, talk to Kol." Stefan said going and sitting next to Kol. "I'm Bonnie." She scooted over, allowing a spot for Rachel to become open. "Stefan didn't tell us your name, just that you are his daughter, which is totally awesome!" "I'm Rachel." She said smiling. "Well, it is very nice to meet you. Stefan explained the story to us about you, so we already know that. But what I don't know is why you moved here. Was it just for Stefan, or?" Caroline said. Gosh, she's happy. Rachel thought, it didn't bother Rachel though. "Um, I was beaten twice by this football player named David Karofsky and then severely bullied by two girls, Santana Lopez, and Quinn Fabray. They were my best friends up until eighth grade where they just turned on me. And now, Santana is regretting bullying me and apparently cries everyday in Glee Club, which I find hysterical because she was such a bitch." "I'm so sorry." Bonnie said, sincerely. "What's glee club?" Caroline asked. "Caroline!" Bonnie said noticing it was quite an innapropriate time to say this. Stefan was at the bar next to Kol, and had listening in on the whole conversation, asking Kol if it was true, he confirmed it. "Glee club is where you sing and perform in competitions, and every week you have a new assignment. I got all of the solos for all the competitions." "You must be good then" Bonnie said, followed by Caroline asking "Can you sing something for us? The Grill has a stage and a stereo that has like a billion songs on it, karaoke of course, but can you?" "Yea, I guess so." "MATT!" she called to a blonde guy who had the bluest eyes ever, no pun, over to the table. He walked over followed by Stefan "I wouldn't mind hearing it." Stefan said, Kol followed too "Me neither." "Will somebody fill me in." "Matt, this is Rachel, she can sing- so let her sing." Matt laughed "You want to?" "Yea, singing is my life, well music is but I love singing more than anything." "Go up there, pick a song, I'll play it for you." "Okay." She walked up to the stage and looked at the computer with a list of songs, she picked one. She stood in front of the microphone and Matt nodded at her from the computer. "Excuse me." She said into the microphone. Everyone in the restaurant looked at her, 50 people maybe? Possibly a little more. "My name is Rachel Pierce, and I will be singing "Roots Before Branches by Room for Two"
Hey, heeey
So many things to
do and say
But I can't seem
To find my way, but I
wanna know how
I know I'm meant for
something else
But first I gotta find
myself, but I don't
know how
Oh, why do I reach
for the stars
When I don't have
wings to carry me
that far?
"She's amazing!" Stefan said to Kol, and the girls. "She really is!" Bonnie exclaimed. "I remember the first time I heard her sing, she was three and she knew every single word to all the songs in "Funny Girl" it was adorable." Kol said, astounded by how she had grown. He didn't think he would ever get over the fact about how wonderful her voice was. She could be on broadway if she wanted, it was true. Stefan sighed at the fact that Kol was there to hear her when she was a little girl, and he wasn't.
I gotta have roots
before branches
To know who I am,
before I know who I
wanna be
And faith to take
chances
To live like I see a
place in this world
for me. oh oh oh
Hey, sometimes I
don't wanna feel
And forget the pain
is real
Put my head in the
clouds
Oh, start to run and then
I fall
Thinkin' I can't get it
all, without my feet
on the ground
There's always a
seed before there's
a rose
The more that it
rains, the more I will
grow
Gotta have roots
before branches
To know who I am,
before I know who I
wanna be
And faith to take
chances
To live like I see a
place in this world
for me, oh oh
Whatever comes,I
know how to take it
Learn to be strong, I
won't have to fake it
"Damn she's hot!" Tyler told Matt "Back off bro, you don't need to play with her heart." "I can if I want" "You don't deserve her" Matt told Tyler and walked away. Kol heard and wanted to get it across to this Tyler kid, that he won't mess with her without crossing him too.
Oh, you're understandin'
Oh, but when we can come
And do what's best
Blow me North and
South, East and West
But I'll still be
standing
I'm standing, if I
have roots before
branches
To know who I am,
before I know who
I'm gonna be
And faith, oh to take
chances
To live like I see a
place, place in this world
Gotta have
before branches
To know who I am,
before I know who I
wanna be
And faith to take
chances
And live like I see a
place in this world
for me
Oh ooooh
I gotta have roots
before branches
Oh, yeah
She finished the song with everyone clapping, absolutely astonished at her voice. She wiped away her tears, as of she always cries when she sings, saying it was due to her emotional bond to music. "Thank you!" she said into the microphone as she stepped of stage and went to her friends, she immediately hugged Kol, who kissed her head. That feels right. Shut up Rachel ignore the fact that you like Kol, he's never going to have returned feelings, it's not like you're in love with him, shit I'm in love with him, and I barely have spent any time with him. "You were great darling." He said pulling away, Stefan was actually jealous, of course not in a romantic way, that'd be gross. He was jealous that she went straight to Kol. She then whispered in Kol's ear "I know" he smiled and looked at her. Caroline and Bonnie were amazed by how an original showed her that much affection- an Original. Were they something? Were they ever going to ever be something? Rachel questioned that, as did Kol. They both thought they would give it time, but they didn't know they had shared feelings for each other. You'll know sooner or later if he's meant for you Rach, don't question yourself for some guy, even if you love hi- Shut Up Rach! Little did Rachel know she could deny her feelings all she wanted, but they will never go away.
