Veronica parked her car in front of her supernatural prison. She stepped out and walked to the back of her car.
Two of her minions, guarding the entrance, came towards her to give her a hand. Veronica unlocked the trunk and the two men grabbed Jeremy’s arm.
“Lock him up” she ordered furious. They both held him tightly, though he was in no condition to fight them. “Is Rachel inside?”
One of them confirmed that and she headed to the entrance. Rachel was pacing through the room where Caroline, Stefan and Katherine were captivated.
“Can I talk to you for a moment?” she asked dead serious.
“Yeah” Rachel nodded. She walked towards Veronica, with the intention to follow her outside. But Veronica stopped her.
“I think I’d rather stay here” she said. She signaled at a chair. “Please, sit down”
Rachel reluctantly pulled a chair and sat down. Veronica herself kept standing.
“There’s something I have to tell you” she started, acting uncomfortable. “I wasn’t sure if I could trust you, so I gave Derek orders to follow you”
“Derek has been spying on me?” Rachel exclaimed upset and disgusted.
Veronica lifted her hand. “That’s not the point. The point is that I was right to do so. See, Derek told me you’ve been conspiring with the enemy”
Rachel heavily shook her head. “No. That’s not true. He’s lying. Why would you trust him over me? Vampires lie a lot more than werewolves”
“That’s exactly what I thought” Veronica returned with a big smile. “Maybe Derek is lying. Maybe you are just as loyal to me as you claim to be”
“I am” Rachel nodded desperately. “I am, Veronica. I am on your side”
“Well, in that case you won’t hesitate if I ask you to kill one of our prisoners right here, right now” Veronica manipulated and she reached out a stake to Rachel.
“What?”
“The whole point of this…project is to get rid of anything unnatural” Veronica explained obvious. “So, if you’re really on my side, you will accept this stake and drive it through a heart”
Rachel took the stake and examined it as if the answer to her dilemma was somehow carved in it. After a couple of minutes she shook her head and put the stake down. “I can’t do it. I’m sorry”
“I understand” Veronica replied patiently. She took a vial and smashed it in Rachel’s face. While Rachel screamed as the wolfs bane burned her face, Veronica grabbed an axe and chopped Rachel’s head off.
Katherine and Stefan looked at each other as Veronica chopped into Rachel’s body until there was nothing left but a bloody mass.

Katherine and Stefan looked at each other as Veronica chopped into Rachel’s body until there was nothing left but a bloody mass.
“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.
