Salvatore Boarding House

Jo couldn't believe she was in another mansion. The floors looked like some kind of old wood and there was a huge oriental carpet. She was in a giant bed in another big room, alone.

The day was weird and she felt lonely. Valerie was sort of nice to her. But Nora and Mary Louise scared her. Lily was so prim and proper that it made Jo want to gag.

The other vampires in the house, Damon and Stefan, hadn't spoken to her. Enzo only talked to Lily. Since the boarding house just blew up, no one mentioned the prison world, Julian, or getting the kids out. Jo wondered if anyone had missed her. With Freya gone, she doubted it.

Tap, tap, tap.

Jo lifted her head, "Who is it?"

"It's Elijah. May I come in, Jo? Are you decent?" Elijah said through the heavy wooden door.

Elijah? Jo scurried out of the bed, but the door opened quickly.

"Josette! We were worried, I was worried. What were you thinking?" Elijah said coming towards her.

"I, I didn't want to be somewhere I wasn't wanted," Jo stuttered.

"Jo, please tell me what happened? When we heard about the explosion, I was worried. Your brother and sisters said nothing was amiss," Elijah prodded. "I just happened to hear about Lily coming here through the grapevine and then called Damon."

Jo was torn, she didn't know what to say. She thought of Freya and thought about her kindness, maybe they deserved the truth. Plus, Jo had nothing to lose. She could have been killed today and no one would have even really known why she left.

"Rachael threatened to kill me," Jo said simply.

"What?" Elijah asked in horror.

"She hates me and wants me gone. In a way, I can't blame her, I let them lock Kai away and get rid of the twins. Maybe it is all my fault?" Jo said looking up at Elijah's face.

Elijah came closer, "Josette, please look at me. Whatever you did, whatever you have done, you were a child. You are a child. What happened to your coven is a curse. If anyone can lift it, it is Freya, Davina, Bonnie, and you and your siblings. Together."

"Really? Do you think there is a chance?" Jo asked afraid to even hope.

"Yes, I do. I have seen stranger things happen. Plus, to get the children out of the prison world, that might be more difficult without a strong natural event like a comet. Now, get your things. Let's go home," Elijah said simply.

"What about Lily?" Jo asked timidly.

"I spoke to her. We'll work together to get the children out. We also want to make sure that this Julian isn't some kind of rogue monster. Now, hurry. We're going to have a little talk with your sister when we get home," Elijah revealed.
