There I stand watching the woman do her daily rounds, checking in on each and every patient while she knows that her brother will be coming to kill her soon. It amazes me exactly how much this woman doesn't care but she should care, she should be scared. I waste no time and make my way over to her and as soon as she turns around to face me, her eyes roll.
"Elena, I already told you. I'm not running away from my brother, if he wants to come kill me, he can." She states taking a look down at her clipboard
"Jo, please. It's not only for your protection that you come to Mystic Falls, what about Alaric? He loves you and would you really want him to go through that type of pain?" I question her, pleading
"Alaric will be fine. I've run from my family for eighteen years, I'm not doing it anymore."
Welp looks like I tried. Now I'm losing my patience. I decided to finally get rid of the Elena facade and go with my plan.
"You see, Josette, I know what it's like to run and you can do it for a few extra days, hm?"
"Elena, I'm not-" I quickly cut her off by covering her mouth and speeding her into the empty patient room next to us, the door quietly shut behind us.
"Sorry to do this to you Josette, but I'm not Elena. I think it's time for a nap."
I let a smile slip before she passes out from the herbs that she has now inhaled into her system, her body limp in my arms. I open the door and look out for people before I speed to my car, placing her in my backseat. I take one more look around before I get in my car and drive off, none the wiser.

"What the hell, Katherine? I was going to convince her to come back, you didn't have to kidnap her." Elena exclaims, pressing a cool cloth to Jo's head
"Yeah, that wouldn't have worked. She's very adamant about not running from her brother, you wouldn't have been able to convince her." I explain
"How do you know? You went off without me."
"Because I pretended to be you, Elena. I put on the whole nice act and tried to get her to come with me, just for a few days and nothing." I explain further
"You did what?! I thought we were past the pretending to be me thing?" She raises her brow
"Elena, let's calm down a little bit and think about this." Silas chimes in
Elena returns her head towards Silas and is about to say something when Damon grabs a hold of her hand. She lets out a breath of air before she turns back to me.
"Look, Elena, I'm sorry that I impersonated you but I got her here. Isn't that what matters?"
"Fine, whatever but for the love of God, I'm Elena, you're Katherine. Let's keep it that way. Now help me to get her awake." She demands
"Yeah... she's going to be asleep for a while. I gave her some pretty strong herbs." I sucked my teeth, making a sorry face
"Great! I have now kidnapped my teacher and now I have to wait for her to wake up and tell her it wasn't really me. Thanks, Kat!" Elena exclaims sarcastically before walking off, Damon right behind her
I look over to Stefan who just shrugs his shoulder at my look and turns to walk away too. I look over at Silas and by then my mouth is dropped in awe.
"You did kidnap someone." He smiles
"Yeah, they should know by now that I do those kinds of things. They'll get over it when I keep Jo safe from her sociopath brother." I smile back, turning to see Jo still passed out on the couch
I take a seat on the chair across from her and pull out my phone dialing Nadia. It rings a couple of times before she answers and I can hear Ava laughing in the background.
"Hey, Katherine. How's it going in Mystic Falls?" She asks
"I would tell you but there's so much I don't know yet. This Kai guy is all over the place, I just kidnapped somebody for the greater good, and I think Qetsiyah is hiding something. That barely even scratches the surface." I explain "How's Ava?"
"She's good. We just ate dinner and now she's watching some kid show before bed."
I smile at the thought of my child not having to deal with all this hardship and that's she's happy. I look up to the sound of Jo stirring around, groaning.
"Nadia, I gotta go. My hostage is waking up. Give Ava bunches of kisses and hugs for us."
We say our goodbyes and she hangs up the phone as Silas walks over to me.
"I thought she was supposed to be asleep for a while?" He asks confused
"Hey! I'm still new at this witch thing." I shrug my shoulders as he just chuckles and shakes his head
Stefan walks into the room and makes a beeline to Jo with a wet cloth and presses it to her forehead. After a few moments Jo's eyes open and she starts to adjust to her surroundings after she sees where she is, she pops up with her face covered in panic. She looks straight at me and furrows her brows.
"What happened? Where the hell am I Elena?" She asks, quickly looking around the room
"Josette, I need you to calm down for me. You still have a little bit of stuff in your system and I need you to be really still." I start
"What stuff? Did you drug me?" She asks
"Sort of, it wasn't anything bad, I swear. Just a few witchy herbs meant to knock someone out. Now, are you okay? Do you feel nauseous or have a headache?" I ask as I get up to examine her
"No, no I don't. Elena, why did you bring me here?"
I let out a little chuckle at the fact that she still thinks I'm Elena, but I quickly let her know.
"I told you at the hospital, Josette, I am not Elena. I'm Katherine. I would say it's nice to meet you but under these circumstances."
By now Damon and Elena have made it into the room and when Jo sees her, her jaw drops as she looks back and forth between us. I roll my eyes and snap my fingers at her
"Yes, there are two of us and no, we aren't twins. Look, my patience is running thin so I'm gonna cut to the chase. You are Josette Laughlin born Josette Parker, the sister of Olivia, Luke, and Kai Parker and you are now under our protection." I state, looking at the surrounding people
