Rachel stared at her eldest daughter, crying of happiness and grief. The last time they had seen each other Rachel had told Kelsey about her true nature and things didn’t end well between them. Now all Rachel wanted was for Kelsey to become solid so she could take her in her arms like any normal mother would.
“Are you…a ghost?” she asked. “Why haven’t you try making contact with me? Why now?”
“We tried, mom” Amber replied. “When Derek dug up our graves on Veronica’s command, he didn’t just release our bodies, but our spirits as well. We tried to reach you, but like Jeremy said, you wouldn’t open yourself up to it”
“And Ronnie gladly takes advantage of it” Kelsey continued. “She makes you believe you’d betray us if you don’t avenge our death, but she’s blaming all the wrong people. It’s not Stefan’s fault Amber died. And it’s not Damon’s fault I’m death”
Rachel shook her head in disagreement. “Stefan turned you” she looked at Amber. “And Damon ripped your heart out. How are they not responsible?” she asked looking back at Kelsey.
“Stefan had no choice” Amber defended her vampire buddy. “Klaus threatened to send a werewolf to bite his brother. I would’ve done the same, had the situation been reversed”
“And I had it coming” Kelsey explained cryptic. “I went to Klaus to get the cure. But instead of giving it to me, he fed me with it. I knew I was going to die and I wanted to take Stefan with me. But Damon stopped me, before Stefan had a scratch. He didn’t kill me. He put an end to my agony”
Rachel sank down on the nearest grave, hoping no zombies would grab her. “This is all a little too much” she mumbled, taken aback. She looked up. “What do you want from me? Am I supposed to be besties with the Salvatores now?”
Both Lindy sisters sat down next to their mother, a sister on each side. “Of course not. But you’re a werewolf and they’re vampires and it’s a known fact that werewolves and vampires do not get along. But it’s time we put our differences aside and combine our powers” Amber responded. “It’s time we strike back”

“Can I come in? This talks so…weird, you know. And if Veronica sees us…” Stefan said warning.
“I’m not afraid of Veronica” Rachel said in such way it sounded like she meant the opposite.
Katherine was dragging Gabe’s corpse to the backside of Rachel’s house. She couldn’t get inside the house, so she opened the window to the basement and pushed Gabe’s body inside. She held his shoulders and let him down carefully. When she thought it was safe she let go. The corpse fell on the basement floor, mute for a human ear, but as Katherine heard the thump, she figured Rachel would’ve too.
“Damn it” she mouthed. She stood and looked around. Rachel was nowhere to be seen and from what Katherine could hear, she was still listening philosophized to Stefan. If Rachel had heard anything, she sure didn’t suspect anything.

The Hospital
The door of the examination room slammed open and doctor Fell looked up. “Would you mind waiting outside, please?”she said annoyed.
Tyler ignored her and walked straight to the bed.
“How are you feeling?” he asked worried.
“I’m okay” Veronica said. “Doctor Fell gave me a miracle drug. I’m as good as new”
Meredith shot her a warning glance.
“How did you know where I was?” Veronica wondered.
“Rachel told me” Tyler explained. “She told me Rebekah attacked you”
Veronica shook her head. “Actually it was Stefan” she said.
“Why would Stefan want to hurt you?” Tyler asked skeptic. “He doesn’t even know you”
“Neither does Rebekah” Veronica shrugged. “They know. They know that we’re going to try and take them down. We’re going to have to move fast”
“No, what you need to do is stay away from Rebekah” Tyler said. “I mean it, Ronnie, she’s dangerous”
“So am I” Veronica said sharp.
