When they arrived at Klaus' house, it was obvious he had been working hard on organising this party. There was drinks, foods, music and pretty decorations all over the house and the yard.

Klaus had his eyes on Rachel ever since she came in and decided to go and talk to her.

"Congratulations on the win, they couldn't have done it without you." He told her when he finally came closer to her.

"Thank you. I'm not going to find a big bouquet of extravagant flowers when I get home, am I?" She asked him with an amused smile.

"I was going to but Rebekah advised against it. She told me it would be better to simply congratulate you face to face."

"She was right." Rachel replied.

"We've been working on our relationship, on being a family... It's not easy." Klaus confessed.

"If you want lessons on how to be a family you should watch the '7th Heaven' TV series. It's one of the best about family." Rachel told him with a soft smile.

"I'll make sure to check it out then." He told her, willing to make an effort for her.

"Oh, excuse me, I'm going to see how Rebekah is doing. I think she's getting lonely on her own over there." Rachel said with a smile.

She put her hand softly on his forearm and squeezed before she went over to her best friend who was looking rather sad, surrounded by couples.

.

Klaus watched as Rachel talked with his sister and wondered why Rachel was so special. More than ever, he felt attracted to this wonderful girl.

"If you don't make a move soon, someone is going to take her from you before you even have the chance to tell her you like her." Santana told him, surprising him since he hadn't realised she was right by his side.

"She's amazing. I don't think I'll ever get enough of watching her or talking to her... What makes her so special...so different from any other girl?" Klaus asked.

He wasn't really waiting for an answer but he got one none the less:

"You mean besides the fact that she's a hybrid?" Santana snorted.

"What do you mean a hybrid?" Klaus asked, surprised and not understanding what she was talking about.

"You don't know? Damon is Rachel's biological father..." Santana was about to keep on talking when Klaus interrupted her:

"Her biological father? How is that even possible? He was changed in 1864."

"Her mother is a witch... Well, the bitch lost her powers now so she's nothing but a human and she never loved Rachel so she doesn't really deserve the name of mother... She even tried to kill her but, well, point is, Rachel's parents are both different supernatural creatures." Santana replied, the sire bond pushing her to tell Klaus what he wanted to know even before he asked, also the booze she had been drinking might have been helping too.

"So, she's half human and half witch then?" Klaus asked.

"No, she was completely human until her 18th birthday, now she's half witch and half vampire... She's getting used to it but I guess it's cool since she doesn't have any problems like blood-lust and all... " Santana said.

"Amazing...perfect..." Klaus replied, his eyes locked on the girl who was still laughing with his sister.

"I care about her Klaus... Please don't hurt her..." Santana pleaded with him.

"Don't worry... Hurting Rachel is the last thing on my mind right now." Klaus replied.

Santana then excused herself and joined Rachel, Rebekah and Caroline. Together, they went next to the karaoke machine and sang "Wannabe" from the Spice Girls just for the fun of it.

.

As Rachel went to get a drink, she was surprised to see Klaus walking her way with a glass for her.

"Thanks." She smiled at him.

"You kept something very important about yourself from me." Klaus told her with a smile.

Rachel froze as he continued.

"Why didn't you tell me you were an hybrid too?"

"I'm still getting used to it... I...I try not to advertise it... If even my own mother wants me dead and calls me a freak... I just didn't want anybody else calling me things like this...I guess I was afraid of what you would think..." she said, blushing.

"It would be hypocritical of me to say anything of the sort don't you think?" he smiled, showing her he wasn't mad.

"Rebekah said you'd be fine with it... I guess I was just afraid..."

"Rebekah knew?" he asked, surprised that his sister hadn't told him.

"Please don't be mad at her for not telling you...She was just doing what I asked of her..." Rachel explained.

"I understand... I'm glad she finally has a true friend... I'm glad you're in our lives." Klaus said truthfully, feeling he could open up to her.

He remembered when, a few days ago, he wanted to follow Stefan in hope of finding his coffins and ended up hearing Rachel yelling at her uncle that he was being unfair.

She had yelled at the green eyed Salvatore that he had no right to judge Klaus after everything he had done himself. She had asked him why Klaus deserved to die for what he had done when Stefan and even Damon or Katherine lived. She had given quite a speech to her uncle and it had warmed Klaus' dead heart to know that she was defending him.

"Well, I'm glad to know the two of you as well!" Rachel replied, bringing him out of his thoughts.

Then Rachel was pulled away by one of her Glee friend and he wasn't able to talk to her again that night. All he could do is watch from afar as she had fun, enjoy to hear her laugh, to watch her smile at other people... Also, from time to time, he would catch her watching him, smiling at him in a way that made him feel special.

He managed, right before she left, to ask her if she'd like to get dinner with him the next day and she agreed, a soft blush on her cheeks.

They both knew that it was much more than a simple friendly dinner. It was a date and they knew it.
