Rachel was cleaning her house. It was the only way for her not to think about what she had done. She was vacuuming when someone rang the doorbell. She unplugged the vacuum-cleaner and walked to the front door. When she opened she came face to face with the person she least expected.
“Hi, Rachel.” Veronica said. “I’m back”
“I wasn’t expecting you” Rachel said sheepish. Ronnie conjured a huge smile. “Can I come in?”
Rachel couldn’t come up with an excuse to send her away and thus she stepped away, letting her pass.
Veronica walked to the kitchen and noticed the vacuum-cleaner. “You were vacuuming?”
Rachel only nodded.
“Wow, you have some hearing” Veronica smirked.
“When did you get back?” Rachel asked, a little nervous.
“Few weeks ago” Veronica answered. “When they found Kelsey. I had to be at the funeral”
“You’re a true friend” Rachel said with a slightly trembling voice. Veronica frowned. “Are you afraid of me, Rachel?”
Rachel shook her head heavily.
“Don’t you think I should be the one being afraid?” Veronica continued. Now Rachel frowned and Ronnie smirked. “You’re really sad, Rachel. I almost feel sorry for you”
“What are you going to do?” Rachel asked scared.
“Well, in any other circumstances I would kill you on the spot” Veronica said cold. She then looked Rachel straight in the eyes. “But because you’re Kelsey’s mother I’m willing to do you an offer”
Rachel breathed deeply and lifted her chin a little. “And what may that offer be?”
Veronica grabbed Rachel’s hands. “Join me. Join me and we can build an army to kill all super naturals. Together we can take them all down” she said enthusiastic.
“No” Rachel said.
“What?” Veronica asked surprised. Rachel jerked her hands.
“I said no” she repeated.
Veronica gasped. “I am offering you a free pass here”
“Thanks a lot, but I don’t need it” Rachel said. “You can let yourself out”
“Fine” Veronica said. “Your loss” She turned around and walked out of the door. Rachel leaned against the wall and sank down on the ground.
