JORDANNA GRUMBLED AS the sound of her ringtone reverberated throughout the bedroom. Klaus groaned in irritation, moving to swat the device off of the bedside table before the Jones harshly swatted his hand away, shooting him an annoyed glare.
"What?" The vampire snapped into the phone, once answered. She didn't bother to check the contact name before doing so, so imagine her surprise when she heard the gruff voice of her best friend.
Stefan, not seeming to be in the mood, didn't care for greeting's either. "Wanna tell me why I had someone from the Strix, which I don't even know what that is, try and kill me on my run this morning?"
Jordanna sat up against the headboard in alarm, her abrupt action caused Klaus to be elbowed in the nose. "What?" The Jones turned to man beside her with a sheepish expression on her face and mouthed sorry upon seeing the glare he was giving her.
"Mhm." Stefan mumbled. "Feel like telling me what the Hell that's about? Because I have a feeling you know exactly what I'm talking about."
Jordanna paused in place as his words suddenly engraved in her brain. "Wait! You're not dead? The Strix came after you and you're not dead?"
Stefan rolled his eyes. "Well, I had a little help. I was lucky Bonnie was there, otherwise I might've been dead. Now, what the Hell are you involved in? Is this some kind of gang or something? Am I supposed to know who they are?"
"Ha, funny story actually ... basically-"
But before she could even begin to explain, another phone call came through. The Jones pulled her phone from her ear, this time checking the contact name, only to find it was Naomi.
"Hold on, Stef."
"What? Jordanna — wait-"
But before he could finish his sentence, she ended the phone on him.
