Rachel had made up her mind. Stefan was right. It was not right to turn her back on her family. Veronica wasn’t family. Kelsey and Amber were. And they were supernatural, as was she. Taking Veronica’s side would be like denying her nature and it would be an insult to her children. Gabe had made her a prisoner, had forced her to become this. She wouldn’t let anyone tell her her species had no right to live, that there was no place for them under the sun.
“I’ll do it” she said determined. Then, thinking about Veronica if she found out about her betrayal, she felt less confident. “She frightens me. I don’t know if she’ll buy what I’m going to tell her”
“You’re going to have to put yourself over that” Stefan said strict. “We need you to go back and pretend like you’re still on their side. If you openly come to us, she’ll suspect you to give away important information and she’ll want to eliminate you. You have to go back”
Rachel shook her head. “I can’t go back now. I’m not an actress. She’ll figure me out” she said desperate.
“We’ll be there with you the whole time” Amber promised. “Jeremy can let us in. He let Jenna in as well”
“Jenna’s my aunt” Jeremy explained. “She’s a ghost”
“No, I can’t do it. It’s too risky” Rachel refused.
“Well, then I guess we might surrender now, since you’re not willing to do everything it takes to stay alive” Stefan replied manipulative.

I could kick myself. Why the hell had I done it? Like the stupid thing was any use to me anyway. Of course I knew why I had done it: boredom and a source of entertainment. These two things were precisely the reason why I had done many of the things I had done in my 1000 years of existence.
Now I was running from werewolves. You could say I was on their "most wanted list" which was definitely not a good thing. Werewolves hunted in packs and are a very loyal species. It was impossible to know how much of them were after me. Of course I was no stranger to being on the run which is why I never really had any real relationships. Before this…well that was a very long story indeed…
