Twisted Bonds

Chapter 60: Meetings

Emma's POV

It was the end of the week. Klaus called me saying that we no longer had to worry about his mother. Enzo was coming back from Arkansas. Finn was almost done learning English. Everything was going great.

When Enzo called me telling me that he was coming back, I asked him if he was okay with meeting Jenna while we were catching up. Thankfully, he was cool with it.

When Jenna and I entered the grill, I saw Enzo sitting up at the bar. I smiled and led Jenna to where he was sitting. I sat next to him and Jenna sat next to me. "Welcome back!" I greeted him.

He turned to me and smiled. "Good to be back!" he replied. His gaze shifted over to Jenna. "And I'm guessing you're Jenna."

"That's me, it's nice to meet you." Jenna said.

"Likewise." Enzo replied.

"So, how was your time in Arkansas? Did you and your friends wreak havoc?" I asked.

Enzo chuckled. "You bet! You've got to meet them at some point. They're a bit crazy, but so much fun to be around." he told me.

"I'm sure they are." I said.

"Anyways, what's been going on around here? You said something big happened." Enzo inquired.

"Yeah, so, remember when I told you I was mated to the Mikaelson brothers?" I asked.

"Yeah..."

"So, their mother, Esther, somehow came back to life, and plotted to kill them and Rebekah." I told him.

"Sounds like a shitty mother." Enzo commented.

"You got that right. So, their mother teamed up with Elena's gang. Somehow, she managed to desiccate all of them. I found out that something was wrong the moment I felt a massive pain in my chest. I managed to track down Caroline, who helped with their little plot. I had her tell me what was going on. The moment I knew where Esther was, I went there. So, after a massive fight, and nearly dying, I incapacitated her. I revived Finn and he immediately snapped her neck. Damon, who I trapped when I arrived, broke out of the hole I put him in and tried to drain me." I told him.

At the mention of Damon, Enzo growled. I continued. "I was already badly wounded, but thankfully, Finn knocked him out and healed me. I revived the rest of the Mikaelsons. We came up with a plan to keep their mother from coming back and trying to kill them again. A plan that was just executed a couple days ago."

"So, their mother, if you could even call her that, is gone?" he asked.

"Thankfully." I said with a short nod.

"Good. So, is killing Damon still off of the table?" he asked.

"For now, yes." I said.

"Damn..." he mumbled.

Jenna decided to start a new conversation. "So, Emma told me that you guys met when she was thirteen. So, how did you two meet?" she asked.

Enzo and I glanced at each other awkwardly. "Huh, this will be an...interesting conversation." Enzo said. "Emma, I think it would be best if you told her."

"Fine. Well...where do I start..." I mumbled as I gathered my thoughts. "Back when I still lived in McKinley, my parents back then were invited to some event at the Whitmore house." I started. I noticed that Enzo, understandably, had an uncomfortable look on his face. "I ended up going with my parents to the event. I was, by far, that youngest person at the event. I didn't even know what the event was even about. Anyways, later on in the evening, after using the restroom, something inside of me guided me down into the basement. Down there, trapped in a cell, and covered in blood, was Enzo."
