CHAPTER FIFTY TWO

I took a deep breath in as I stood outside the house I grew up in. My fist was raised, ready to knock on the door, but I just couldn't do it. I had barely come to grips with the news so how was I supposed to tell my aunt? I knew that Jenna would be nothing short of supportive, however it was still incredibly daunting.

It had only been a day since we had returned from London, leaving my dreams behind me. The journey home had been long and tedious since neither me nor my companions were in a particularly chatty mood. Rebekah's betrayal had cut us all deep.

The moment we returned to the Mikaelson Mansion, Kol and Elijah had excused themselves to go and do some research. Klaus had locked himself in his art studio with the family portrait, no doubt furiously scribbling Rebekah out. Needing the maternal guidance of my aunt, Finn had graciously offered to escort me to the Gilbert residence.

"If you are perturbed by knocking, you could always ring the doorbell." Finn suggested from beside me.

I suppressed a smile and sent him a disapproving glare. Finn did not smile much. It was simply not in his nature, however, I knew from the look in his eyes that he was rather amused by my predicament.

"This is the most intimidating front door ever." I told him as I glared at it.

"Would you like me to knock for you?"

"No, I need to do this myself!" I denied, pouting my lips, "But maybe you could move my wrist for me?"

Finn's eyes sparkled as he gently grabbed hold of my wrist. He moved my hand forward and tapped it against the door three times. I gave him a grateful smile before the door flew open and Jenna crashed into me, enveloping me in a tight hug.

"Emilia, it is so good to see you!" Jenna squealed, "I missed you so much!"

I hugged my aunt back just as tightly, "I missed you more!"

Jenna released me and sent a questioning look in the direction of Finn, who fidgeted under her scrutiny.

"Which Mikaelson brother are you?"

"I am Finn Mikaelson, ma'am. It is an honor to meet you officially. Emilia speaks of you with such high regard." he replied, nodding his head forward in greeting.

Jenna hummed thoughtfully, "I think I prefer you to Klaus."

"Many do!" I quipped, earning a rare chuckle from Finn.

"Come in, come in!" Jenna said, hurrying us inside the house.

"Is anyone else home?" I asked as I nervously looked around the house for any sign of my twin sister.

"Jeremy is upstairs in his room, would you like me to go and get him?"

I shook my head, "Not right now. There is something I'd like to speak to you about privately."

Jenna raised her eyebrows curiosity as she gestured for Finn and I to take a seat on the sofa, "Would either of you like anything to drink?"

"No, thank you." I replied and Jenna took her seat opposite us. "Where is Elena?"

"She has practically moved in with the Salvatore brothers. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet." Jenna answered, "I like Stefan but I am not overly fond of Damon."

"Few are." Finn replied, no doubt thinking back to my kidnapping.

"Which one is she dating?" I asked curiously.
