"Jeremy!" He's practically tackled as soon as he gets out of the car, it's been five months since she's seen him and Elena hugs him fiercely. Alaric and Jenna look at them from the porch. It's been nice to have Elena back, she's settled into their routine nicely, coffee then a morning run then breakfast and onto the agenda of the day.

"Are we going to tell them? Jenna wonders quietly.

"The Salvatores are the only ones we know of and they're leaving next month. There's no need to worry them with it." Alaric murmurs back and Jenna hates to admit he's right. She does send Elena tea that has vervain in it and perfume that has vervain in it, she does everything to keep them safe. Ric made Jeremy a vervain ring that has A protective coating over the metal that makes sure it won't get damaged no matter what Jeremy's up to, and the clear coat had vervain in it. Jeremy never takes it off.

"Even if they run into vampires, they'll be protected from compulsion." Ric tells her and Jenna frowns.

"That won't stop them from being killed." Jenna argues and Alaric shakes his head.

"Later." He promises and Jenna nods as they move to help Jeremy unload his car.


"She'll be out for a run tomorrow morning. We'll get her then." Rose decides and Trevor grins.

"Centuries of running, soon we'll be free." Trevor says quietly and Rose smiles with him, they watch the Gilbert house for a few more minutes before they leave.
