"Don't worry Santana, Tyler will understand eventually. You go on, I'll talk to him." Rachel told the latino hybrid as she was about to go on the next plane for Lima for a much needed family reunion.

"Thanks Rach. I'll call you as soon as I land." Santana said before she hugged Rachel and left.

Inded, Santana was, for the first time since being thrown out, going back to her home to visit her family. She was going to show her family that she was in complete control and try to mend things so she doesn't end up hating them forever...and if she could spend some time with Brittany while she was there, why wouldn't she? She was also planning on giving Quinn a piece of her mind for telling Jesse where Rachel was.

Of course Tyler had immediately jumped to the conclusion that Santana wasn't going to be with her family but to spend some 'quality time' with Brittany and the couple had gotten into an argument about this subject. It had been the biggest fight they had had so far and it had been very public. Thankfully, only supernatural aware eople had seen it and Sheriff Forbes had asked them to take it somewhere else before other people came and spotted them.

.

After dropping Santana at he airport, Rachel drove back to her house, knowing she would be alone since her father was in a bar out of town trying to bond again with Stefan and to get him to give the coffins back and forget about his plans to kill Klaus. It wouldn't be an easy task and she was trying very hard to remind herself that using her powers to sway her uncle wouldn't be right. If she wanted to remain a 'nice' hybrid and not the monster her mother made her out to be, she had to control herself and so she let her father deal with Stefan on his own.

Also she was happy that Stefan acted nice enought towards her at school. It was like they weren't on opposite side of the 'Klaus'coffins' affair. She guessed that since he had been denied his role as uncle for so long, he didn't want to loose any more time with her. She didn't complain, while he was spending time with her, trying to get to know her better, he wasn't with Elena. She had tried to get him to give Rebekah a second chance but she knew it was too late for those two... All she could hope was that either Elena would change or Stefan would fall for someone else...

As she got out of her car, already imagining putting her favourite songs loudly while she entered a nice bubble bath with candles around her, the young Salvatore was surprised by Tyler waiting on her front porch.

"So she still went didn't she?" He asked, sounding very mad.

"Of course she did Tyler. She wants to visit her family! You've got to stop being jealous and get your head back on straight or you're seriously going to loose her!" Rachel replied, annoyed at the interruption and trying to stay calm.

"I'm not jealous I'm just saying things as they are! She's in love with this Brittany and she's going back because she heard she had a boyfriend and she doesn't like it!" Tyler yelled, getting closer to Rachel who sighted.

"Brittany is her best friend Tyler, Santana loves her as a best friend, nothing more."

"Oh, come on! You know you're lying Rachel, you're just covering up for her! She's going to Lima to cheat on me! Admitt it!" As Tyler yelled this, he grabbed Rachel by the shoulders and yelled right in her face and the young woman could smell the strong alcohol on his breath. He must have been drinking for a while.

"Tyler, let me go, you're scaring me!" Rachel pleaded, getting seriously scared and hurt that he was holding her so tightly. It would leave bruises, even on her.

She could use her magic to force him to let go but she knew that it would be very painful and she hated hurting people, especially close friends of hers who were already hurting like he was.

"Tell me the truth now! Is Santana going there to cheat on me?" Tyler yelled.

Rachel couldn't move so she settled on giving him a magical headache but instead of letting go of her, he bit her, instinctively.

"Ouch! What is worng with you Tyler!" Rachel screech as the pain she was feeling was like nothing she had eve felt before.

"Rachel...Oh god...I'm so sorry!" Tyler said, immediately sobering up when he saw the pain on her face.

"It hurts..."

"Werewolf venom kills vampires!" Tyler said in realisation.

"Well, apparently my witch half doesn't change that... Help me!" She pleaded, barely able to stand because of the pain.

Tyler immediately took her in his arms and ran her to Klaus' house.

It looked like her witch half made things worst. He had never seen the venom acting so quickly before and Rachel was already allucinating when he ran in the living room of the Mickealson's house.

"Rachel! What's going on?" Rebekah asked.

Klaus was nowhere in sight.

"Where's Klaus? We need him! I accidentally bit her!" Tyler yelled, not bothering to explain more as Rachel moaned in pain.

Klaus immediately ran in, a bit of paint visible on his shirt, informing them of what he had been doing. He pushed Tyler away and took Rachel in his arms, setting her softly on the couch and glaring at the boy who had brought her like this.

"Oh look, he's funny isn't he? He's handsome too...Shhh, he can't know!" Rachel said as she pointed at Klaus, clearly delusionnal because of the fever.

"No! How long ago was it?" Klaus asked as he bit on his wrist and brought Rachel on his lap so she could drink from him.

"Less than 5 minutes! I don't know why it's acting so quickly, it was just a small bite... I was drunk and angry at Santana and jealous... I don't know how but the minute it happened I was sober again..." Tyler explained, looking extremely guilty.

"Maybe it was her magic or the spirits making sure you would bring her here and save her." Rebekah suggested as Klaus whispered in Rachel's hear that she had to drink to get better.

A few minutes later, Rachel opened her eyes again and it was obvious that she was fine again.

"Thank you Niklaus." She whispered, not really wanting to move from his arms but knowing that she had to if she didn't want things to get awkward.

"You're welcome. How are you doing now?" Klaus asked her.

"Much better." Rachel smiled.

"I am so very sorry Rachel... I don't know what took over me... I was drunk and so mad...when you gave me this headache I couldn't control myself anymore!" Tyler explained.

"It's okay, don't worry." Rachel replied as she stretched, getting ready to head home.

"Come, I'll drive you home." Rebekah suggested, knowing that Tyler had ran there.

"Thanks. See you later Tyler, Klaus." Rachel said, nodding their way before she followed her best friend out of the house.
