know thy enemy

AVY glared at the woman before him, Elena doing the same.

"Hello, Elena, Avy" Isobel greeted "It's nice to see you again"

"Again?" Jenna asked.

"So you're the woman who's dating my husband" Isobel looked Jenna up and down "I need to speak to Elena, may I come in?"

"No" Elena stammered "Don't...don't invite her in"

"I need to talk to you, Elena, Avy" Isobel informed.

"No!" Avy hissed slamming the door shut.

The god-siblings turned, seeing Jenna confused, tears building in her eyes.

"You knew she was still alive?" Jenna asked "Ric? John? Did they know?"

"We can explain everything, Jenna" Elena began.

"No" Jenna moved towards the stairs.

"Jenna, please!" Avy called, she and Elena moving after her "Wait, Jenna, please wait!"

"Jenna, you have to talk to us" Elena called, leaning against Jenna's locked bedroom door

"We need to explain what's going on" Avy tried "Jenna, please"

Avy sighed as he opened the front door, Alaric stood on the other side, a wary look on his face.

"Hey" Alaric greeted "Is she up yet?"

"She won't come out of her room" Avy answered.

"What'd you tell her?" Alaric asked.

"Nothing" Elena sighed "She won't talk to us"

"We're gonna have to fix this, Elena, Avy" Alaric groaned.

"Hey" Avy greeted gently, seeing Jenna moving down the stairs.

"Jenna" Alaric spoke.

"I don't want you here, Ric" Jenna stated "You need to go"

"Okay, listen, I can't begin to imagine what you must be feeling right now" Alaric began.

"Rage and betrayal would pretty much cover it" Jenna pulled her jacket on.

"Where are you going?" Elena asked.

"I'm going to stay on campus" Jenna answered "I have a thesis to write, and I don't want to be in this house"

"Jenna, please just stop" Avy said.

"Let us explain to you exactly what is going on" Elena added.

"Elena, I need you to go to the Lockwood's today and accept the Historical Society's check for your mom's foundation" Jenna instructed.

"Okay, but, Jenna, please just..." Avy began.

"I don't have it in me to hear any more lies from you" Jenna stated.
