"What happened?" Damon asked, his voice half a growl, half a plea. His baby was sad, obviously hurt and he needed to know who had done this to her!

Rachel was too busy crying to reply and so Puck told him what she had just explained.

"She said that Shelby told her horrible things but she refused to tell us what it was!" Finn added, hating to see Puck getting all the glory for the Rachel rescue.

.

Damon finally took Rachel home and while she took a shower and changed, he called Sage:

"What is it Damon? You usually don't call at this hour." She said as she picked up her phone.

"I need you here right away… It's Rachel…" He didn't have time to say more that Sage's worried voice cut him off.

"Rachel? Did something happen? What is it?"

"That Jesse kid broke her heart… No he shattered it and on top of it all Shelby was in on it the whole time… The things she told her Sage… Rachel is so sad… I don't know how to deal with this without killing several people… I need you!" He pleaded, sounding desperate.

"I'm not far. I'm in my car right now, I'll be here in less than two hours!" Sage said before she hung up.

Damon sighted… Everything would be fine now… He trusted Sage when it came to Rachel, she would know how to deal with things. What could he have done to prepare his daughter for a moment like this? Did he miss something when he raised her? Should he have prepared her for a moment like this when someone she opened her heart to broke her?

"How are you feeling Princess?" Damon asked Rachel when she came down in her fluffy pyjamas, interrupting his self loathing thoughts.

"I want Jesse to be eaten by a lion…or a vampire!" She replied seriously.

Damon was shocked.

"Are you sure about this baby?" He asked her… Seriously, he wouldn't mind making the boy suffer, he's been dreaming of taking a bit out of him since he first stepped into their house!

"I don't want you to kill him… just to make sure he suffers as much as he makes me suffer!" She replied.

"Whatever my Princess wants, my princess will get!" Damon replied before he took her in his arms in front of a movie she loved and informed her that Sage was on her way.

.

For the next few days, Rachel wasn't the only was to be down… The whole Glee club ended up being in some sort of Funk.

Rachel got a little better after Sage arrived and she knew that Damon and her had been to terrorize Jesse as much as they could and ended up compelling him to think it had all been a dream and to feel the same fear every time he was hearing a musical song… Rachel smirked when she remembered Sage telling her this… she had never been a vengeful person until someone actually hurt her… Now she understood how Klaus could work so hard to make hybrids and break his curse… he wanted to be able to get revenge against Esther and Mickeal's action that hurt him in the past…

More than ever, Rachel could understand him.

.

Damon was still furious at Shelby and he managed to corner her in a bar near town.

"Damon, still hanging out in bars I see… Not exactly perfect father behaviour…" Shelby said smugly when she saw him.

"I was looking for you Bitch!" He snarled.

"Oh, well, seeing how the last time we were together ended, I'm not sure it's such a good idea…" She smirked while walking away.

He grabbed her arm and forced her to follow him in the dark alley behind the bar.

"Hey, watch out! What do you think you're doing manhandling me like this?" She spat.

"I want you to pay for what you did to Rachel! You had no right speaking to her like this!" Damon growled.

"She's my daughter and she came to me! I had every right in the world to act this way!" Shelby replied, sure of herself.

"She came to you because you made Jesse convince her to do it…I won't allow you or anyone hurting her like that!"

"Calm down she's fine… Nobody touched her." Shelby said.

"You think it's the only way to hurt someone? You don't think your words could have hurt her too? You have no idea how hard I'm working to keep myself from killing you here!" Damon spat, anger radiating from him. His vampire face was out.

"You can't kill me, people would get suspicious!" Shelby said smugly.

"Don't flatter yourself too much, and there are other things I can do besides killing you! You will suffer for what you said to my daughter!" Damon said.

"She needed to know what a freak she truly is going to be!" Shelby snarled.

Damon lost it and grabbed Shelby.

He sank his fangs into her neck and drank from her, making sure it was painful.

When she was weak, he compelled her to never try anything against Rachel again if she didn't want to die. When she nodded her agreement, he let her fall down on the floor and left, knowing she wouldn't die but that other things might happen to her… When she fell, he was sure he heard a bone crack... He wasn't sure which one it was but he didn't care, she deserved it.

.

When he got home, he went in his daughter's bedroom and watched her sleep.

"Did you kill her?" Sage whispered from the doorway.

"No… I promised Rachel I wouldn't… But she suffered and I compelled her not to try anything else on Rachel." He replied.

"Good." Sage said with a small smile before she went in her room, leaving her friend with his daughter.

I know I'm moving a bit fast through this time period but I just have much more interesting things planned for later...

What did you think of this one?

Please Review, I'll do my best to answer it.
