Always and Forever [Book 3]

It Won't Change Anything

Rachel's POV
I turn around to see the person who called my name and then I see them. My mom, dad, Rebekah, Klaus, Davina, Kol, Elijah, Freya, Marcel, Keeilin and... Damien.

Rachel:Mom?

They all run to hug me.

Katnice :My sweet girl. What are you doing here?

Rachel :What are you doing here?

Katnice :We heard your scream.

Rachel:But I didn't call you to come.

I turn around and leave. I get into the abandoned building and on the balcony. I put my wrists on the rail. Damien comes.

Damien : Rachel, what is going on?

Rachel:Nothing.

Damien :You've changed. You're not the same happy girl I remember. The girl full of life.

Rachel:That girl is gone. That's what the Maze Trials do.

Damien:Maze Trials? What are you talking about?

After I tell him what happened after the hospital he comes closer to hug me but I stop him. My family appears behind him. I roll my eyes and turn around to the edge of the balcony.

Rebekah:Sweetie are you OK?

I feel Rebekah's hand on my shoulder but with my right hand I twist hers.

Rachel :Do not touch me.

Klaus: Rachel what the hell is going on?

I turn around again so I won't face them.

Rachel :You lied to me.

Katnice :What are you talking about?

Rachel: You said you didn't know that Lucien was alive. But you did. When I was 15 he had attacked again. That day was the day that I met Damien for the second time and the day I died.

FLASHBACK

I am in my room. It's Sunday. I walk down the stairs.

Rachel:Mom let's go. We're gonna be late.

Katnice :Relax. Bayou won't go anywhere.

We get in the car.

Rachel :I'm sad.

Katnice:Why's that?

Rachel :Irene says she won't make it. She has to study.

Scott:That's something you should be doing too.

Rachel:Irene goes to a normal school. I go to a school for supernaturals.

Katnice : You really think you're going?

Rachel : Physically no, mentally yes.

We arrive at the Bayou. I walk to the lake and look at it. I throw some rocks and then I turn to my family

Rachel :When Will the food be ready?

Rebekah :It takes some time.

I roll my eyes.

Rachel :I'm gonna go for a walk.

Katnice :But not far.

I nod and I walk into the woods. Suddenly in front of me I see a figure running. He stops and looks at me.

Rachel:You always run shirtless or is it just now?

??? :You remember me?

Rachel:Of course, Damien
