Jade awoke feeling like a million dollars, that had been the best sleep she had had in days. It probably helped that she almost died so she was a little exhausted. She sat up on her bed and stretched noticing that she was still wearing her clothes from the night before, covered in blood and dirt.
"Attractive." She muttered as she stripped and wrapped a towel around herself. They proceeded to grab her bath stuff and headed off to the showers.
Once she was done ridding herself of the grime from the night before she made her way back to her dorm. She was clad in a pair of sweat shorts that were way to short in her opinion and an over sized sweater. She still did not understand, the shorts this company had made had little fabric to them, but her sweater was far to big. She would never understand the fashion in this century.
Toweling her hair dry as she headed back to her room she approached her door to find it open a crack. Slowly she pushed open the door to see Alaric sitting on her bed. Standing quickly he shoved his hands into his pockets. "Sorry, you didn't answer my call, so I got worried."
"Sorry, I realized I had left my phone here once I got down to the showers." Jade smiled as she closed her door so they would have some privacy.
"Ya I kind of figured that, when I got here and found your phone." Alaric walked over to her and gave her a look over, for any injuries.
"I am fine Alaric." Jade smiled as she moved to step around him but before she could make it to far he reached for her wrist to stop her.
"Thank you." He spoke slowly as he looked down at her. "You saved my life, seems like you tend to be saving me a lot actually." Alaric chuckled as he released his grip on her. Jade tossed her towel onto her bed and just smiled up at him.
"You are pretty likable, and I have only been here for a bit. I really do not feel like losing any of my new made friends so fast." Jade spoke as she to looked Alaric over as well for any injuries. "You doing okay?"
"I'm fine, it's you that I'm worried about." Alaric reached up and pushed a piece of her wet hair behind her ear. "Vampire, I heal pretty quick."
"Oh I know, Damon gave me some blood last night, and it is amazing what kind of sleep you can have when you almost died earlier that night." Jade without realizing it leaned in to Alaric's touch as he brushed her cheek.
"Knock knock." Came Caroline's voice from behind Alaric. Quickly Alaric dropped his hand and moved to stand next to Jade so he could see Caroline, who was currently peeking between her fingers as she looked at the two of them from behind her hand. "Sorry." She dropped her hand. "I knocked but you guys were a little preoccupied I guess." Caroline smirked as she said this, her eyes fluttering between the two of them.
"Bonnie said you were wanting to get some studying done, I just coming to get you. We were all gonna help you get caught up." Caroline spoke as she focused her gaze on Jade. "That is unless your busy with other extra curricular activities."
"I was just leaving anyways." Alaric spoke almost to quickly, and moving to exit the room. "I just came to make sure Jade was okay." Then he left.
"Sure, that's why you came." Caroline whispered with a smirk.
"What was that?" Jade questioned, not having heard what Caroline had said.
"Oh nothing. Grab your stuff the others are waiting for us." Jade proceeded to stuff everything in her bag and then her and Caroline made their way to the library.
Once they arrived Jade found Elena and Bonnie already with books open waiting. Then the studying began, and few hours passed when Elena and Caroline announced they were going to go have a quick drink. Once they had gotten up and left Jade reached up and stretched her arms.
Looking over at Bonnie she watched as the girl kept her nose to her book seeming to not even notice that the other two had left. "Bonnie?" Jade spoke quietly not wanting to disturb the other patrons. Bonnie acknowledged Jade by looking up with a smile. "I am just gonna run to the washroom, before they get back."
"Alright." Bonnie nodded and went back to reading. Jade stood and headed out of the large library and made her way to the washrooms. After she emerged back into the hallway she began to head back to the library when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Before she could turn around however, the someone had wrapped their arms around her and placed a cloth in front of her mouth and nose, effectively knocking her out.
Meanwhile back in library, Elena and Caroline arrived back at the table. Sitting down they looked around the room and then focused on Bonnie. "Hey Bon, where is Jade?" Questioned Elena.
"She left after you guys to go to the washroom." Bonnie spoke still engrossed in her text.
"Bonnie, we've been gone for half an hour." Caroline spoke. Bonnie looked up from her book, and examined the spot where Jade had been sitting. Phone and bag were still sitting there untouched from when Jade had left.
After packing up and checking the washroom and Jade's dorm, she was still no where to be found. Elena texted everyone to meet at Jade's dorm, and once they all arrived, it was decided that Bonnie should do a locator spell.
"Here, help me lay out the map." Bonnie spoke as she unfolded a map of Virginia. Stephan leaned down and help to spread it out along the floor. Elena, Caroline and Enzo stood off to the side waiting for Bonnie to work her magic.
"Who would take her?" Caroline spoke starting to pace the room. "It's not like anyone actually knows who she is."
"Hey guys!" Bonnie spoke as she stared down at the map. "I can't find her."
