Always and Forever [Book 3]

Gone

Damien's POV
I walk into the woods and when I arrive at the Bayou I sit by the lake. Suddenly I feel a pain. And when I understand what it is I start running to the Mikaelson house.

Katnice 's POV
Kol: She's gone.

Katnice: No..

I fall on the ground crying.

Klaus: Katnice. She'll come back. She's not dead. She will wake up. She'll be OK.

Freya: Becoming a vampire doesn't mean that she's gone through the danger. Her powers will be unimaginable. She won't be able to control them. And if she dies again because of her powers it will be for good.

Suddenly we hear Rachel gasping.

Rachel's POV
I walk in a forest. I see a lake in front of me. I sit by the lake for a while, thinking. I died. I'll wake up as a vampire. I'll have to drink blood to survive. And if my powers kill me again I'll never wake up. I get up and walk towards the lake. I jump in.

I open my eyes gasping. Everyone comes and stands next me. My mom hugs me.

Katnice :Are you OK?

I nod.

Freya hands me a bottle with blood. I look at it. Then I look at them.

Rachel :I have to go to the bathroom.

I get up and run to the bathroom. I leave the bottle on the sink looking at it. Then I look at myself on the mirror. I get out of the bathroom silently and leave the house. I run into the woods. I arrive at the lake. I look at it. I move my hands towards it trying to control the water. But nothing. While I'm in transition I can't control my powers. I turn around and start walking in the forest.

??? :Rachel?

I turn and I see Damien. He runs to hug me.

Damien : I thought you died. I felt it.

Rachel: You felt right. Cause I did die. I'm in transition.

We start walking towards the lake.

Damien: Why don't you drink blood?

Rachel: Because I know that if I do, my powers will return and I might die for good. One way or another, I'll die.

Damien: Well, aren't you a fighter? You're gonna give up on your powers just like that? Give up on life? I know you can do it. You can control them.

I smile at him. Suddenly I feel a little dizzy. I fall on the ground and Damien catches me.

Rachel :You know, I think it's funny. Some of my family members still hate you, and now that I'm going to die they will find out that I have inprinted on you. You think they're gonna kill you?

Damien: Very funny Rachel. But you won't die. You have to drink blood.

With a knife he has in his pocket he cuts his palm and puts it next to my mouth.

Rachel:You really think I should do it? What if I learn how to control my powers and I turn into a monster?

Damien: You won't turn into a monster. You have the kindest heart I've ever known.

I put my lips on his palm drinking the blood closing my eyes. The sky turns purple with thunder. When I open them my eyes are purple with veins under them.

*******************************

I return to my house with Damien.

Katnice: Rachel! You didn't drink the blood we gave you.

Rachel:Yeah, I had second thoughts of turning into a vampire.

Freya: Well now that you're a vampire let's go practice. With an easy spell this time.

I follow Freya in my room.

Freya: Say invisique

Rachel: What if it doesn't work?

Freya: Just say it.

Rachel:Insisique.

I turn invisible.

Rachel:It worked.

I get back visible.

Freya: I don't remember it having time limit.

I turn back invisible. Then visible. This happens many times.

Rachel : You can see me?

Freya: No. Yes. No. Yes! What did you do?

Rachel : Nothing. I just casted the spell.

Freya: You're like a slightly unscrewed light bulb.

Rachel:Ha ha. Very funny. Now how do I turn back to normal?

Freya: Say Ando Invisique

Rachel: Ando Invisique.

It doesn't work.

Freya:Well you might have to wait for a while.

I roll my eyes and get out of the room. They all see me walking down the stairs while I'm turning on and off.

Rebekah: Sweetie are you OK?

Rachel: Yeah, but I can't undo a spell. So I'm stuck in this one.

Davina: You casted the invisible spell right?

Rachel: No it was the.. Put fire on someone spell. Of course it was invisique!

I enter the kitchen and I hear the others laugh. I grab a glass and fill it with water. Suddenly I feel something dripping from my nose. Blood.

Rachel: No no. Not again.
