Rachel was with her father and her uncle, walking around a beautiful park, talking about her childhood and bonding with her uncle when suddenly, she felt an intense pain in her heart and double over, crying out.
"Rachel, what's going on?" Damon asked, immediately by her side as Stefan was on her other side.
"My heart, it hurts so much..." She replied, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Are you having a heart attack? Can you even have one?" Stefan asked her, confused and worried.
"No... It's not me... It's Klaus, somebody is hurting him, we need to get home and call everybody right away." She replied.
"He was alone at home today... Let's go." Damon replied, helping Rachel toward his car while Stefan started calling everybody.
.
In the half hour it took for Damon to drive them to the Mickealson's house, everybody had been warned and was making their way home, even Sage and Finn. They knew that for Rachel to feel it so painfully, it had to be something serious since they, too, had a soul mate bond and knew its powers.
As soon as the car stopped, Rachel rushed inside and called out for Klaus.
He wasn't there. Not in his painting room, not in the basement, not in the garden, not in the kitchen, not in the library, not in his bedroom...
She knew that he had not planned on leaving on his own because the paintbrush he had been using still had paint on it and was put down without being cleaned. He wouldn't have done this and left without cleaning it up. Something had happened, she could feel it.
Slowly, while Rachel tried to locate Klaus with magic, which was proving to be very difficult, everybody arrived and Damon explained everything to them.
Suddenly, Jeremy entered the house with the help of Jenna and Alaric. Kol rushed to help them.
"What's happened?" He asked his friend.
"Elena said she wanted to talk to me and we walked in the woods and we met with Bonnie there... Once there Katherine broke my neck... I woke up with a witch I didn't know standing over me and I couldn't move. Then she started muttering and put her hand over my heart. Then I died again and woke up alone in the woods." Jeremy explained.
"Oh god!" Elijah exclaimed, horror on his face.
"What is it?" Rachel asked him.
"I recognise this spell... I think they desiccated Klaus like Abby Bennett did Mickeal." Elijah replied.
Rachel was furious and everyone could feel magic creeping around her.
She didn't speak.
She stood up and marched to her father's car. Thinking she couldn't be left alone, they all followed her, in her car or others. She drove to the Bennett's house and blasted their front door with her powers before she came inside, furious.
She was so angry that the wind was blowing around her and she a created a storm outside when it had been a quiet sunny day before.
"Rachel, what's going on? Why did you blast my door?" Sheila asked her, afraid that some dark entity might have taken over the sweet but very powerful girl.
"Shut up traitor! If Abby and Bonny don't come to me right now I will kill you and not think twice about it." Rachel replied, surprising everyone.
Quickly, Abby ran in the room, pulling her reluctant daughter behind her. Immediately, Rachel pinned the three of them side by side against the same wall, facing her.
"What's happened to you Rachel?" Sheila asked before added "This isn't you."
Rachel ignored her, looked at Abby and asked:
"Who did you tell how you desiccated Mickeal? Speak now or die." Rachel asked, her voice dangerously calm.
Nobody knew what to do.
They knew that if she couldn't save Klaus, it would destroy her and they all hoped the Bennett witches would cooperate. Stefan quickly explained things to Sheila, thinking she deserved to know why she was being threatened. She had been his friend a long time ago after all.
"I...Nobody...I...Well, Bonnie asked me the other day and I told her but she doesn't have her power..." Abby replied quickly, fear in her voice.
"Bonnie has been working with Elena and Katherine... She never stopped helping them." Rachel yelled, furious at the young witch.
Her yelling broke the windows and every object made of glass in the room. She let go of Sheila and Abby who fell on the ground and concentrated on Bonnie who looked truly afraid for her life.
"You're not a killer Rachel..." Sage told her niece softly.
"She helped kill Klaus. Because of her I lost my one true love and I'll be alone forever. She deserves to die." Rachel replied in a hard voice.
"Rachel, you know that Klaus would hate for you to turn into a killer because of him..." Elijah tried to tell her.
"Oh you shut up. All you care about is that you're at the top of your family hierarchy again and now that Klaus is out of the picture you can be almighty..." Rachel barked back at him.
"Rachel please..." Bonnie begged.
"I thought you loved Jeremy and yet you helped Elena use him, against his will, in this ritual. He could have not been brought back to life... His ring could have not worked and you knew it. You almost killed him too. Twice! He died twice today!" Rachel yelled and Sheila was horrified by what her granddaughter had become.
"Bonnie, tell me it isn't true... Tell me that there has been a mistake..." Sheila begged but her words were ignored.
"Rachel, I know you're upset honey but you need to calm down. You can't let your anger rule your life... You'll hate yourself if you do, trust me." Stefan told her.
"Please forgive Bonnie... I didn't know what she was going to do with the information, I should have been more careful and kept my guard up... Please punish me but let her live." Abby begged, on her knees in front of Rachel.
"God forgives, I don't." Rachel replied in a hard voice as she sent Abby flying into the wall with one hand, knocking her out.
Out of the corner of her eyes she could see Sheila and Sage helping Abby up and giving her blood to heal her.
Bonnie was shacking with fear and before Rachel could say anything Elena came in through the back door:
"Bonnie it worked better than I thought it would. We're now rid of Klaus forever." Elena said in a super happy voice.
As soon as Elena saw that everyone was present, she tried to run but Rachel used her powers to send her against the same wall Bonnie was held against.
"Without Klaus I don't have any reason to care about anything anymore so if you don't want me to kill you, you better tell me where Klaus is you little bitch." Rachel growled menacingly, squeezing around their necks with her magic.
"I don't know...I..." Elena tried to say put Rachel squeezed harder.
"Don't even think of lying or I'll kill you right there and nobody will care enough to bury your body. Your spirit will be stuck on earth to watch your body rot while nobody cares that you're gone." Rachel snapped.
"Katherine and her minions took him. She spoke of throwing him in a volcano, she took the idea from you. I don't know which one and you can't use magic to locate them because she's protected against your powers." Elena blurted out, afraid.
Her words seemed to hurt Rachel even more. She had given Katherine the idea of a volcano when she suggested it to Klaus.
"Klaus desiccated can be saved but if he's thrown into a volcano..." Rebekah said in realisation.
"No, I can get him out, I'm strong enough. He'll need longer to heal but I can do it." Rachel said in a strong voice.
"No, you can't." Elena laughed before she added, once everybody watched her again:
"Katherine had someone put on his body the same spell she has on her that prevents you from using your powers on her." Elena sounded proud of herself and only at this moment did she look at Stefan and realise that he looked disgusted with her and that he had Caroline in his arms.
"Klaus is dead Rachel, You've lost. You failed." Elena yelled hatefully.
"So have the two of you." Rachel replied before she pulled them away from the wall and sent them flying through the window and in the front yard.
Bonnie landed on her grandmother's rose bushed while Elena landed on the gardening tools that were lying around and they both had pieces of wood from the window pane stuck through their stomach. Everybody supernatural could hear that they were still alive but barely. They would need a good doctor or blood, but none of them was willing to give them blood.
Rachel looked destroyed and dead inside when she turned toward Sheila, Abby, Jeremy, Alaric and Jenna and said:
"No magic or vampire blood will heal them ever again. You better ask that they'd be put in separated room because the next time they look directly at each other or talk to each other, they will die of a heart attack. Sorry for breaking the window, send me the bill." She had spoken in a dead voice and walked out of the house, followed by the Mickealson's, her father, her uncle, Santana, Tyler and Caroline.
Outside, the storm has died down, so had the wind. It had been replaced by a pouring rain. It was like the clouds were crying the tears that Rachel was holding back.
Now, that was a big and sad chapter wasn't it?
Do you think that Rachel went too far? Do you think she'll turn evil now? Will they be able to find Klaus before he hits the Volcano's lava? Will Katherine be killed this time or will she walk out of it without a scratch as she always does?
Tell me what you think or hope for in a review.
