Jill woke up for school after spending the first night in her new bed. She wished she could have moved her old bed, but Anna was sleeping in it and she didn't want to kick her out. Klaus was at her side. There were sleeping together, but still had yet to sleep together.
"Good morning, Love." He greeted her.
"So what are you going to do while I am at school?" Jill asked curiously.
"I can find many ways to pass the time." Klaus explained. "I may check in on the Founder's Council since I was among the true founders of this town."
"Maybe you could look into that order that tried to kidnap Matt." Jill suggested.
"Rebekah, Jillian, it's time for school." Elijah called through the house. "You need to be up because we will be leaving in half an hour."
"My brother-in-law is my Biology teacher." Jill complained as she began to get up and headed toward the bathroom. "Don't even get me started on the irony of someone dead teaching about life, and no you can't join me."
She showered and met Rebekah at the foot of the stairs. Rebekah tossed her a bag of blood, which she caught. She then went to the kitchen and grabbed an orange. She had once used her fangs to drink all of the juice out of one, but that just left her with a dehydrated orange.
Elijah drove the two teenage vampires to school. Jill was thankful that Kol had no interest in going to school, because it meant that she would see him less.
"Have fun." Kol teased as they went out the door. As much as she enjoyed causing Kol pain, it didn't make him any less of an ass. She somewhat wondered if there was something wrong with him.
"So I'm surprised that you're interested in school, Rebekah." Elijah remarked. "You never were before."
"Women didn't have rights then." Rebekah pointed out. "I don't have dress like a nun anymore."
"I think I preferred it when you did." Elijah remarked. She rolled her eyes.
"We both have cheerleading after school." Jill stated. "We're not going to need a ride home."
Caroline had already arrived at school and she went over to talk to Matt.
"So, just to be clear, you never saw that guy that tried to kidnap you last before?" Caroline asked him "I mean you never saw him at the Grill?"
"No, but I'm pretty sure that he's the one that killed Mike." Matt answered. "I don't understand why anyone would want me. Out of everyone in town, I'm probably one of the most ordinary people. I mean I'm completely human without that looking like another person that Elena has."
"Well I don't know why they're after you." Caroline admitted. "But I definitely won't let them take you."
"I'm pretty sure that my girlfriend won't exactly stand by either." Matt added.
"That's something that I don't get." Caroline remarked. "You broke up with me because I am a vampire just to go out to date a different vampire?"
"It just happened, okay." Matt remarked. "It probably had something to do with working together."
Elena walked into school with Stefan. She had once again spent the night at the boarding house.
"You've never heard of this order?" She asked him.
"I really don't know how an organization of vampires would slip under the radar." Stefan explained. "I also don't know how Klaus wouldn't know anything about it."
"I'll see you in history class." Elena told him. "If we don't know anything about them, we can't do anything about them."
Stefan walked down the hall, looking for any suspicious people that he had never seen before. Since he wasn't looking where he was going, he collided with someone.
"Well this is an interesting way to say hello." Jill commented from the ground.
"Jill, I'm sorry." He apologized as he helped her up. "I wasn't looking where I was going."
"Don't worry about it. I was really hoping to be knocked on my ass today. I'll get you back later." She joked as she grabbed her purse. "So what were you doing that kept you from looking in front of you?"
"I'm surprised that Rebekah isn't by your side." Stefan replied. "I thought you two did everything together these days."
"Just because we used to date, doesn't give you the right to make fun of me." She pointed out. "I saved your life. You know I do hope that we can be friends again. I really liked that."
It was at that time that the tardy bell went off.
"Well now we're late." Stefan commented. "But I think that I will take your friendship offer into consideration if we don't get detention. Not that Alaric would do that."
The two walked to class together and Jill took her seat by Rebekah.
"So what is up with you and him?" The Original whispered. It was pretty low. Jill was probably the only one who could hear it.
"Nothing we bumped into each other in the hall and we talked." Jill whispered back. "We were friends before we dated and we really didn't even date for very long."
"If you say so." Rebekah told her quietly. "I just think that you should know that Nik is the jealous type, so you need to be careful what you end up doing."
For her next class, Jill went to Biology. She hadn't even realized that Anna and Diana were in the same class.
"Hey, mind if I sit here?" She asked them.
"What's this about a new teacher?" Anna asked.
"Yeah, about that, Elijah is now going to be teaching here." Jill told them. "I think it's to make sure that Rebekah and I aren't doing anything that we shouldn't be doing."
"So how big is this original family?" Diana asked.
"They had four sons and Rebekah." Jill explained. "Plus they had a daughter die in Europe and a son killed by werewolves here. There's Klaus, Rebekah, Kol, Finn…and Elijah."
That was at the same time that the suited Original walked into the room.
"Good morning class, you're probably surprised to see me. I am Mr. Elijah Mikaelson." He explained. "Your previous teacher decided to full her dream of being an actress and moved to LA."
Jill had to admit that that was a creative way to get rid of her without killing her.
"So I am going to start with a group project." Elijah continued. "You will be working in groups of…three. I want a presentation on any living species. It can be animal, plant, fungus, protist, bacteria, except humans of course. You groups will consist of whoever you're sitting with."
Jill couldn't help but wonder if Elijah had decided that as soon as he walked in the room.
"Okay, so since we're working together, why don't we do a report on vervain?" Diana suggested.
"I don't know if that's such a good idea." Anna commented. "We should probably do something else."
"We don't have to go into the supernatural elements of it." Diana added. "I just think that everyone is going to do animals and we should do something different."
Jill looked over to Elijah who was no doubt listening to their conversation. He gave her a nod for some reason.
"Okay, let's do it." Jill agreed. "But we are not bringing any in here. We can meet at my house after I am done with practice."
"Which house?" Anna asked.
"The one that you're staying in." Jill answered.
"Sure, why not?" Diana said. "I can't work again until the will situation is settled. I don't know who he would leave the place to since he didn't have any relatives. I don't know if he even had a will even."
"Then I imagine that it will go up for sale." Jill stated. At that time she noticed a new text from Klaus.
"Hello, Love. I just bought the local restaurant." It read.
"And it's been sold." Jill remarked as she showed the text message.
"I'm starting to think that I should quit." Anna replied.
After school, Matt walked out the door and began to head to his truck. As he walked out, he was approached by an African-American man.
"Matt?" He asked.
"Yeah…" Matt replied.
"My name is Ransom. I'm a football recruiter for University of Indiana." The man stated. "I was wondering if you had any time to talk."
"You do know that I'm not even playing this year, right?" The former quarterback asked.
"We've seen you in the past." Ransom declared. "We think that you'd be great for our program."
"I really can't right now, but maybe we can talk about something tomorrow." Matt suggested.
"I will see you then." Ransom declared. The man walked away and Matt was approached by Tyler.
"Who was that?" Tyler asked.
"It was some recruiter guy for the University of Indiana." Matt told his friend. "It's weird since I'm not even playing this year."
"I don't know if Indiana has ever had a good football team." Tyler remarked.
"Yeah, but if someone is willing to offer me a scholarship, I should take it since I can't afford to pay for college otherwise." Matt rebutted. "So anyway, I'm sorry that Caroline dumped you."
"Hey do you want to come out into the woods with and shoot some beer cans?" Tyler questioned.
"I don't know if I should trust you with a gun." Matt admitted. "Last time that you had one, you shot my sister. Dick Cheney might be a safer person to go hunting with."
"Okay let me call Dick then." Tyler joked. "So you don't think it's strange that some guy just comes up to and says that he's a recruiter?"
"Well with all of the weird stuff that happens around here, it would be nice if something the good kind of weird happened."
Jill went with her two fellow juniors to her house. Diana got her laptop up and began to look through it.
"Can I get you girls anything?" Miranda asked.
"No, I think we're good, Mom." Jill answered. "But I think that I missed the part where told me how you're back here."
"It's basically the old adage of a person cannot be truly dead unless a body is found." Miranda explained. "Most people don't know that I'm a vampire."
"I have to admit this people coming back from the dead thing is weird to me." Diana commented. "I am a little jealous since my mom died not that long after I was born. The only family that I have, I don't know very well. I have four siblings that I've never met."
"Okay all of this talk about family is depressing me since I don't have any." Anna remarked. "How about we just work on the project?"
"Why does vervain hurt vampires anyway?" Diana asked.
"It's because it grew at the base of the white oak tree that was used in the creation of them. It's the same tree that the stake that killed Mikael was made out of." Jill replied. "So why don't you tell us how you found out that you were a witch?"
"I ended up finding my family's spell book and it told me who the other members of the circle were." Diana explained. "We really weren't all that powerful until Cassie moved to town."
"And how did you learn that you had dark magic?" Jill then asked.
"I don't want to get into that." Diana stated. "We need some poster board."
The next day, Jill was with Klaus as the hybrid presided over the reopening of the Grill.
"Where's Matt?" Klaus asked Tyler.
"He said that he was going to meet some sort of recruiter." Tyler answered.
"Love, I want you to take Tyler to go find him." Klaus instructed Jill. "I have a feeling that this is another trap set by The Order. You should try to find out more information this time."
The two left the restaurant and began to look for him in Tyler's jeep.
"So why do you think that this order wants Matt?" Tyler asked.
"Maybe it's because he's human?" Jill suggested. "But there are plenty of humans in this town and I don't know how they would know that he's and the rest of us aren't."
"Well you did kind of terrorize the East Coast." Tyler pointed out.
"I meant more about the people that live here." Jill clarified. "I may or may not have gained a reputation for what I did. Most people that saw me either don't remember me or are dead."
"Did you and Klaus really kill an entire pack of werewolves?" Tyler asked.
"Well technically Klaus killed them and then they turned into hybrids but they couldn't survive without Elena's blood. I only killed one and that was because he was attacking Damon and Elena, but I did kill a lot of people this past summer on two different continents and for the most part, I liked it."
"Well I know what you mean about blood." He admitted. "It does taste good."
"Right now we need to worry about protecting Matt." Jill told him.
They went to the school and to the football field. There was Matt talking to Ransom.
"What if this guy is the real deal?" Tyler asked as they hid under the bleachers.
"You're a better player than Matt." Jill pointed out. "Don't you think someone would want to talk to you? This guy has to be a fake."
"We could really use you at U of I." Ransom said.
"Isn't U of I Illinois?" Jill asked Tyler.
"Yeah, it is." Tyler remarked. "Let's go in."
Before they could even get to him, a stake flew through the air and went through Ransom's heart. Matt, Jill, and Tyler turned to see Ric holding a crossbow.
"We kind of wanted to see if we could get some information out of him." Jill told him.
"You know I thought this guy was actually the real deal." Matt admitted. "I guess it's just another disappointment in my life."
"Matt if you really want to go to college, I'm sure that you could get some help." Jill replied.
"Not to mention that there are numerous other scholarships that you could apply for." Ric added. "But whatever you do, don't apply to only one school."
"Just what we needed, an afterschool special." Jill snarked. "Do you think it's possible that there would be anything in Isobel's research about a group of vampires called The Order?"
"I'd have to check." The teacher said.
Later that night at the Salvatore house, Damon was helping himself to nightly glass of bourbon when he heard a knock at the door. He opened it and let Ric inside.
"What can I do for you, Ric?" Damon asked.
"Jill asked me to check Isobel's research to see if I could find anything out about The Order." Ric explained to him. "I found something."
"Well she's not here right now." Damon pointed out. "But I'm guessing that you didn't want to go to the House of Originals and came here. So what did you find?"
"The Order has been around for approximately one hundred years." Ric explained. "It's an underground group that mostly stays hidden."
"So in other words, it's vampire mafia." Damon commented. "So who is in the Vito Corleone?"
"It doesn't say anything about who the current head is." Ric explained. "I also still have no idea why they would have any interest in Matt. But I do know that they had one of their members pose as a recruiter. I'm pretty sure that we definitely haven't seen the last of them."
In Mikaelson Manor, Jill was preparing for bed.
"So tomorrow is my birthday." Jill announced to the house. "I don't want some huge party though."
"I will make sure that you get a nice gift." Klaus promised. "I'll also do my best to make it a birthday that you will never forget."
In the headquarters of the order, a woman walked inside. She looked around the room.
"Our efforts to retrieve him were once again unsuccessful." A man told her.
"Well you need to try harder." Kelly Donovan said. "I want my son here. I hope that you're also aware what Peter does to those who fail him."
"I understand Mrs. Donovan." The lackey said.
"And while you're at it, I have a body in the car that I need you to get rid of." Kelly added.
So we found out more about The Order in the fact that Kelly is involved with it. What's her connection to Peter? I will let you know that Kelly is NOT a vampire. Also Jill is starting to bond with Stefan again and also Anna and Diana. And Elijah is now a full-time teacher. Please don't forget to review
