When he was done with Tyler, Stefan decided to try and find Caroline again but he got cornered by Rebekah:

"Hey."

"Hey..." He replied nervously, not knowing what she wanted.

"We haven't really talked since everything started..." She declared.

"Yeah... I... You're with my brother and my niece is your best friend. What do you want to talk about?" He asked her.

"I just... I don't want things to be weird between us. We got together in the 20's and enjoyed it, we were good together but time passed... I'm happy with Damon." She declared.

"But..."

"No, no buts. I'm happy with Damon. I love him, he loves me. I know that you're good with Caroline and I just want you to know that I'm happy for you and that things don't have to be weird just because once upon a time we were together." She explained.

"I'm glad to know that you see things that way." Stefan smiled sincerely.

"Friends then? Without any weirdness?" She asked him.

"Friends, without any weirdness." Stefan agreed.

They hugged and parted. Rebekah went back to Damon while Stefan went back to Caroline.

.

Klaus kissed Rachel's temple and whispered:

"Just so you know, what I'm about to do, I've never done it for anyone before and I'll never do it for anyone else."

"What?" She asked curiously as he kissed her neck one more time and walked to the stage.

Rachel smiled when the music from "Forever" started. She remembered telling him that one of her favourite moment of the Full House Tv show was Uncle Jesse and Rebekah's wedding and that the song he sung to her was one of her favourite ever. She smiled happily to him and he started singing it perfectly to her, never looking way from her eyes.

Rachel was super happy at his gesture and for a second, she managed to forget that she had almost lost him, that she had believed him to be dead a few days ago.

She was happy and nothing could cloud this moment.

She realised how wrong she was when she got hit by a vision right before the end of his sweet song to her. Everything wasn't very clear, there were a lot of hidden facts in her vision but she saw a hunter arriving in town a few hours ago. She could see that his goal was to kill them all. She got back to reality just as Klaus reached her, concerned.

"Is everything okay Love? You seemed somewhere else for the last few seconds." He asked her.

"I... Just a vision... Don't worry about it. You were great, I can't believe you did that for me! Thank you so much!" She hurried to say, giving him a big and intense kiss.

"Well, I'll sing to you anytime if that's the kind of thanks I get." He replied, having already put her vision in the back of his mind, as she wanted.

Rachel looked around the Grill while Klaus went to talk to Elijah and she panicked when she couldn't find her father. Rebekah was talking with Caroline and Santana so she got closer and asked:

"Have any of you seen dad?"

"He went to the bar to get a drink." Santana replied.

"I was just over there, he isn't." Rachel replied, getting anxious.

"Maybe he's talking with Stefan or someone else..." Rebekah suggested.

"Everyone is here... Something is up." Rachel replied as she turned around and let her magic guide her.

The lights wavered for a few seconds and there was a drift of air before Rachel snapped her head toward the back exit. Suddenly, she ran to the back alley, followed closely by Santana and Caroline. Rebekah followed too but she grabbed Klaus and Elijah on the way, in case there were some problems to deal with. Sensing something happening, Kol and Jeremy followed.

.

Rachel arrived in the back alley in time to see Stefan on the ground, obviously vervained down and her father next to him. They had a man standing over them. It was the hunter from Rachel's vision and he was about to stake her father.

The man looked up and was about to open his mouth but Rachel didn't let him and she sent him flying against the wall, knocking him out temporarily while Rebekah and Caroline helped their men's up and guided them back inside so they could get better away from the fight about to break out.

"He's a hunter... He was the one I saw in the vision I got while you sung." Rachel explained to Klaus.

"What does he want?" Jeremy asked.

"To kill every supernatural in this town." Rachel replied while Kol walked to the body of the waking hunter and grabbed the stake he had dropped.

He turned toward his family and showed them the craving on the wood.

"He's one of the five." Klaus and Elijah said at the same time, hit by realisation.

"Who cares who he is. He was going to kill my family. He needs to die." Rachel replied.

"No!" Klaus protested loudly as he rushed in front of her.

"Why? Why are you defending him?" She asked him, not understanding.

"When you kill a hunter from the order of the five, it unleashes a terrible curse. He haunts you and makes you want to kill yourself." Klaus tried to explain to her.

"Are you sure? How do you know?" She asked him.

"Because I killed 5 of them a while back and was under this curse for over 62 years. Trust me Love, you don't want that on you." He told her.

"Well, we can't let him go either." Rachel complained.

The hunter was waking up now so Kol and Elijah rushed to hold him back.

"Nice ink though." Jeremy commented.

"What are you talking about?" Rachel asked him.

Klaus replied:

"If Jeremy can see the hunter's tattoo, it means that he is a potential hunter and that he will become one as soon as he kills his first vampire."

"Which isn't a good thing because after their first kill, hunters forget about their loved ones or their conscience. The only important thing for them becomes to kill vampires, no matter who they are with no distinction of good or evil and without caring about who they hurt on the way." Elijah completed.

"I guess I have to stay away from stakes then. Better keep that info for us though, who knows what Elena will do if she learns about it." Jeremy replied, not really touched by what was said.

It's not like he was planning on killing a vampire anytime soon anyway. His best friend was one of the Original. He was safe.

"What do we do then?" Kol asked.

"Keep him restrained. I'll stay here with you to make sure he doesn't go away. Klaus, you go to the hospital and get us something to keep him under for a while. Then we'll lock him up safely in that jail cell you have in your basement. Tomorrow I'll try to find out what I can about him and I'll find a solution. He must have a reason to exist. If he was created, there is a way to undo him." Rachel decided.

Klaus nodded and kissed her forehead before he rushed away.

.

When Klaus came back, they did as Rachel said and they went back to the Grill to join everyone else.

"What happened? Where is the sucker?" Damon asked.

"Don't worry, he won't do anything until tomorrow. We'll worry about everything tomorrow morning." Rachel replied as she hugged her father and uncle before going to grab something to drink.

She had decided that tonight, nothing else would come and ruin their fun and relaxing time. They would have all the time to deal with that hunter and his curse on the next day.


Will the hunter escape? How will they deal with everything?

A big thank you to all of my sweet reviewers. I love you guys! Keep them coming!

Review please.
