After spending a weekend relaxing with Klaus and talking on the phone with her father and her friends, Rachel felt once more like she was at the top of the world when she spotted Brody, who was waiting for her with a cup of coffee.

"Hey Rach. How was your weekend? I didn't see you Saturday night at the bar..." Brody told her as he handed her the coffee he had picked up just for her.

"No, I stayed home with Klaus. What's in this coffee? Special herbs so I can fall faster under your charm?" She asked him, not drinking the coffee.

"What are you talking about Rachel? Did Klaus tell you something? If it's about him being jealous of our friendship..." Brody started but Rachel cut him off immediately.

"Stop! Just...stop! Friday night I heard you and your friend Tom in the changing room." She declared louder than necessary.

"What? No! We... I... We were simply rehearsing a play for the..." He tried to defend himself but was cut off by the vampire diva once more:

"Come on! You know I don't believe that. At least admit it! You're trying to use me for power and status or whatever!" Rachel snapped, her tone rising as she kept on talking.

"Fine, I admit it, I don't really like you, I just want you to be mine so I can create a strong family, have all of my siblings look up to me and be at the head of all the covens in the country." He replied.

"You disgust me! How deluded can you be to believe that you actually stood a chance to break Klaus and I up?" Rachel asked him, her voice still high.

"Well, I did managed to get you weaker with you daily coffee and my special addition to it." Brody smirked at her.

"You're sick! I never did anything against you. You're going to regret this." Rachel yelled at him.

"Hey, no need to yell here, I can hear you clearly!" He snapped back.

"What's the point of having a voice if I'm not going to use it?" Rachel snapped at him before she turned around, planning to leave and head to her first class of the day.

At least his confession explained why she had so quickly felt like she wasn't going to make it, like she was exhausted. The coffee had prevented her from recognizing the taste of the herbs. He had fooled her and made her think that she was losing it. She had never done anything to hurt people, she had done her best to be a good girl her entire life... Why did he chose to do this to her now?

"I'm not giving up on my plan you know. I will have you, one way or another." Brody called back at her.

Infuriated with what he was implying, Rachel turned back, walked the few steps that separated them and threw her still warm coffee on him before she replied:

"Don't even think about it. You're not strong enough to go up against me on your own and I actually have friends in a lot of covens. If your coven attacks me, I won't stand alone against the lot of you. You should also keep in mind that if you do anything to me, Klaus will get his revenge and make you suffer 1000 times what you put me through. I have lots of friends, hybrids, vampires, witches and even hunters. If you go up against me, you'll break. Oh and if you try to bother me again, I'll tell everyone that you're an escort. Somehow I don't think NYADA will be too proud of having you as one of their students." Rachel told him before she turned around and walked quickly toward her next class, leaving a fuming Brody behind her.

Brody went to get a shower and change clothes before he had to go to class and as he left, he didn't see the young man that was watching him with interest.

Indeed, Kurt had caught the entire scene and he couldn't believe what he had heard.

Supernatural, really?

That was Rachel's secret?

Well, that opened a whole new way to hurt her for him. He smiled and went to work, planning on finding this Brody and offering him to join their forces later.

.

That same day, as she was walking back to her car at the end of her day of class, Rachel ran into Kurt. She didn't catch a glimpse of him, no, she actually arrived right in front of him. He didn't seem to be expecting this and actually looked very surprised to see her.

"Kurt, Hi! I had heard you were in town. How are you doing?" She asked him nicely, trying to offer him a friendly hand.

"Oh, great, Rachel Salvatore... because this town just isn't big enough. What, tired of playing stars at school already?" He asked her.

"The...last class was cancelled today..." She replied, not understanding his reaction.

"Great, I don't care. Leave now." He snapped.

"Kurt, what is your problem? I trying to be your friend here!" Rachel argued.

"I don't want to be your friend!" He snapped at her and Rachel then decided to try and compel him to have her answer.

"If you don't want to be my friend, then why are you following me everywhere?" She compelled him.

"I follow you everywhere because I want to know everything there is to know about you so I can ruin your life, one way or another, because I hate you." Kurt replied before he opened bright eyes and ran away.

Despite her surprise at his answer, Rachel let it go and went home. Since Klaus was still working at the school he had been hired as an art teacher, Rachel called Santana and told her everything that had happened that day.

"I just don't know why he hates me so much..." Rachel complained.

"It's simple Rachel, he's jealous not only because you're more talented than he is but also because you have all the cute boys he crushed on after you. First Finn, then Puck... He's jealous of you." Santana replied.

"It's not like I didn't try to be his friend... I just wished there was something I could do to help him get over this..." Rachel told her friend.

"Just drop it Rach, I think he's too far gone for you to help him." Santana replied before they shifted the subject to Lexi who had recently joined Stefan and Caroline in college and was getting closer to Tyler every day.

It's almost the end...

How will it end for everyone? What do you think?
