Jennie's eyes flutter open. Her eyes are instantly met with the blinding light of the sun, causing her to squint. She winces once she feels the burning pain all over her body. She pushes herself up, groaning while doing so. She looks around and immediately sees Landon and her father on the ground, Hope sitting up looking at them.

She looks around confused. What the hell happened? Alaric and Landon wake up with a gasp and start to groan.

Jennie gets to her feet and walks over to Hope. There was a hole in the ground with smoke all around it. It looked like there had been some sort of explosion. That would explain all the pain Jennie was feeling.

"Where the hell are we?" Landon asks confused. "What happened?"

"I don't know. But I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." Alaric replies, equally confused.

Hope turns to face the two, but Jennie just stares ahead. "What the hell?"

THREE DAYS EARLIER

Jennie Saltzman was tossing and turning all night. She couldn't sleep. She hasn't been able to for a while. Between her nightmares and the previous day's events, she had to many things on her mind to get even an ounce of sleep.

By about 1 AM she had managed to find a comfortable position. By about 2 AM she had managed to fall asleep. But her newly found sleep was interrupted when she heard Hope get out of bed.

She turned to face her roommate who was making her way to the closet. "What are you doing?"

Hope jumps in fright and turns around. "Gosh, you scared to crap out of me."

Jennie sits up. "What are you doing?" She repeats.

"I'm going after Landon, he's in trouble." Hope answers.

Jennie gets out of her bed and walks past Hope to their closet. "Now what are you doing?"

"I'm coming with you." Jennie simply states, pulling out a pair of jeans.
