"Johanna wait! Johanna what are you doing?" Jenna followed Johanna out into the rain.

"I already told you I am going to California with Grant." Johanna opened her car door.

"What about Jeremy and Elena you're leaving without saying goodbye?"

Johanna grasped the bridge of her nose then looked back up at Jenna, "I can't. Just take care of them." Johanna jumped in her car and left.

7 months later…

Hey Chelsy,

How has these past seven months passed me up so quickly? I mean I feel like just yesterday I arrived in California. Grant has been really busy with his new band but I have managed to keep myself busy.

Johanna is reading a book in a local coffee shop around L.A. Her hair is shorter hitting just above her shoulders with beachy waves. She has a loose cream white dress on and some brown sandals. Someone sits down at her table and she looks up and smiles, "Oh hey" She giggles and leans in and kisses him on the cheek. He had dirty blonde shaggy short hair and chocolate eyes.

"Hey darling. Is that my drink?" His accented voice was music to Jo's ears.

"Yes," She hands him a coffee cup, "Green tea with lemon and honey."

I can't wait for you to meet Weston.

Weston crinkles his eyebrows, "That isn't my order?"

Johanna stops smiling, "You're kidding?"

"No I am serious that is Grant's order."

"Oh my word I am the worse girlfriend-"

"Just kidding." He starts to laugh leaning back in his chair.

"Ha Ha Ha. So funny just know I am totally going to get you back for that." Johanna says giggling.

Speaking of which, I am heading home. After seven months of being of the grid, you could say, I am absolutely terrified to see Elena and Jeremy.

Two other girls walk up to the table Weston and Jo are sitting at, "Hey you guys ready?"

Johanna smiles at Katie one of her closet friends in California, "Yeah Weston you ready?" Weston nods and the four leave the coffee shop. They walk to Terra's old range rover and they pile in. It was quiet for a while until Jo got antsy, "So can y'all go?"

"Good news bad news" Terra said while driving, "Bad news I can't go. Good news I got accepted to UCLA"

"What Terra that is awesome! You can miss Mystic Falls for that." Johanna squealed. They pulled into Grant's apartment complex.

I haven't talked to anyone in Mystic Falls and honestly I don't think any of them will want to talk to me. However I am taking your advice and jumping in all the way. How has Colorado been with Blake and Brandon? And how ready do you feel about turning this month?

As they were walking up too Grant's apartment Terra pulled Johanna aside, "Here you go." She handed her a bottle with a green smoothie like liquid in it.

"You are a life saver." Johanna muttered while taking a sip of the cool liquid. Her eyes sparked yellow and then she started to chug the drink.

"Jo what happens when I am in California and you are in Virginia I can't ship this supplement. You need to be more open to Weston's plan." Jo wiped her lips and her eyes were a normal color again.

"No, no Terra no blood. We already know I can't control myself around blood and that stupid ring only worked in the beginning. I will just have to learn-"

"Learn! Jo you are a gypsy, marked, and you died. That is a triple whammy. I can give you enough supplies for four maybe five days of supplements but sooner or later you need to learn how to control the cravings or it will just get worse."

"Okay your right. I will work on it with Weston, I promise." Terra hugs Jo and they hear Katie run down the stairs.

"Hey are y'all coming?" Terra nodded and the girls went up.

Hey Jo,

Colorado has been amazing this summer. I am finally getting the hang of this wolf thing. I have missed you like crazy and Weston seems wonderful. But I mean I wouldn't know I don't read about it every other day. ;P

"I can't believe you get to stay here and sing for our senior year while I have to go to school… In Mystic Falls." Grant just laughs picking up Jo's bags.

"I will come visit don't fret." Katie came up behind him, "and I can keep him company till I raise enough money to get my ass down there."

I know it is going to be hard but seeing your adoptive family will be good for you but just be real with them and live with me so you can hide from them half the time. I will see you soon!

P.S Happy Birthday Sissy!

Elena had been up for what seemed like hours. She felt the sun on her face and slowly decided, even though every fiber in her being told her to stay hidden in her, she would try. She made her way to Jermey's room and for the first time she stopped in front of Johanna's old room.

She went in and turned the light on. It looked like Johanna's room but felt like Jenna's. It felt like a museum as if Jo was dead and no one wanted to touch it so a piece of her was still there. But, Elena quickly closed the exhibit and made her way to her little brother's room.

Jeremy was fast asleep but that quickly changed when Elena opened the window.

[Flashback day after Johanna left]

"What do you mean she left? She was in a wreck two days ago." Elena yelled at Jenna.

"She seemed shaken up Elena. She felt like it would be best if she just left."

"How could that be better? How could leaving your family be better?"

"I don't know Elena but I am sure she will call soon." Elena started to cry and Jeremy held her.

[end of flashback]

Alaric folded up his blanket, "Was that eh... Stefan news?" He asks carefully.

Elena nods taking a coffee cup out of the cabinet, "Could be more Klaus victims."

Ric places the pillows back in their rightful spots, "You certain Stefan's still with him?"

Elena pours a cup of coffee, "Easy to be certain when the alternative is that he's dead." They are both silent for a second, exchanging looks. Then Elena notices all the extra sheets, "Are you sure you're still okay on the couch?"

"Yeah, Yeah, I'm good." Ric pats his pillows.

Elena takes two cups of coffee and starts to walk towards Ric, "Because you spent half the summer on it. If you need your own bedroom?"

"Eh, sleeping in your dead parent's room or my dead... girlfriend's room. Nah."

Elena sighs and hands him his cup of coffee, "Alright, Got it." She starts to walk away but then Alaric sighs, "Hey Elena, Happy Birthday." He smiles gently.

Elena takes in a deep breath and half smiles, "Thanks."

[Flashback 2 months]

"I have been looking for two months now Grant and all I can find are the names of my dead parents and what my real birthday is." Johanna huffs frustrated and sits down on Grants couch. He goes to sit next to her, "Please don't get near me when I am angry." She stands up and starts to walk away.

Grant catches her arm and turns her around, "No Jo you can't shut me out like that-" Johanna quickly pins him to a wall. Her fangs are out and her eyes are that eerie bright yellow Grant hated.

"I am not shutting you out! I can hear your heart beat, and can smell your blood. I don't know why," her eyes go back to normal and she turns around, "I was supposed to leave so I could find someone to help me. All I have done is come to find I want blood and I am two months older than I thought I was." Johanna turned back around, "I am sorry Grant-"

"Stop with the apologizes. I already told you that you are learning and if you slip up. I won't be mad just don't stress out Jo. You'll be okay."

[End Flashback]

"Welcome home!" Chelsy said to Jo while almost squeezing her to death.

"Chelsy. I. Need. Oxygen." Jo got out and then Chelsy let go laughing. Weston came up behind Jo and coughed quietly, "Oh Chelsy this is Weston." Johanna stepped to the side and Weston started to shake Chelsy's hand.

Chelsy squeezed his hand, "Hi I am the territorial werewolf best friend don't screw her over." She smiled.

Weston then counter acted the squeeze with his own firm one, "And I am the very strong and dashing boyfriend who wouldn't dream of screwing anyone over." He then flashed a smirk at Chelsy.

They let go, "I like this one." Chelsy said laughing.

Johanna sat down on Chelsy's guest bedroom couch, "You look beautiful as always, darling." Johanna looked up slightly and smiled at Weston.

"Thanks." She whispered.

"You're nervous?" He enquired walking closer to Jo.

"Yes. I am nervous and totally terrified. I have missed everything, every tear, every laugh, every-"

"You were falling apart Jo." She looked down as Weston sat down next to her. He lifted her chin up and their eyes met, "Do you remember when we first met?" Johanna nodded.

"I remember I could see the terrified look on your face. I knew this had to be the first big party you were at. I knew that something was apprehending you from being fully yourself. I was drawn to you and I didn't understand why but I felt like I was going to be the man to help you."

Weston lifted up his sleeve and Johanna looked at the marking and put her thin wrist next to his muscular one, "We are the same. The prophecy doesn't state, 'written in the stars' for no reason. I know you feel responsible for your family but at that moment you were broken and you needed to pick up yourself and fix what needed to be fixed."

"I love you." Johanna said.

"And I love you so much more." Weston gently grabbed Jo's face and kissed her. "Let's go meet this Mystic Falls family of yours. Shall we?" He held his arm out and Johanna snaked her arm lazily around his and they walked out.

[Flashback 900 years ago] (A/N The seer looks like the one from OUAT)

A young girl runs into a hidden underground room, "The seer has arrived, Lord Apollo."

"Bring it in." The seer was then brought in by two guards, "What is the fate of my people."

The seer brought her hands up and eyes within the palm of her hand open, "This day will mark the day of the genocide that kills a nation. Gypsies will be erased from time." Lord Apollo put his head in his hands knowing fate would be fate.

"But there is hope. There will be a line saved. A servants hand will guide the gypsies back to power."

Apollo looked up at the seer and then to the small servant girl. Her bright humble blue eyes were scared yet hopeful. He called her forth, "Guards save this girl take her far from our land. Be it by boat or horse I do not care. Protect her with your life for the sake of our people."

"I am to be the servant?" the young girls asks.

Before Apollo can answer the seer continues, "For many centuries later two will be born of different blood lines with the same mark. They will be the most powerful gypsies there has been or will ever be but with their many powers come many curses and trials. Once they find each other it is up to fate so see them through." The seers eyes close and she gasps.

Apollo hears the enemy coming, "Take the girl she is our only hope. Do not get caught."

The three left leaving only the seer, Apollo and a few guards. "Well Apollo it seems as though you have lost. Any last words?"

"Niklaus your quick temper and judgmental harsh hunger for power will be the end of you." Apollo stands tall and Klaus comes up to Apollo and reaches into his chest.

"I suppose it maybe," He rips the heart out and Apollo just falls to the ground, "but not today." Klaus turns around to the seer, "If you want to live. I suggest you tell me everything you told Lord Apollo." Klaus just smirks and the seer reaches her hands up to save her own skin.

[end of flashback]

Johanna and Weston walked up to the party at the Salvatore boarding house. It was in full swing and the music was blaring. They walked to the front door and Johanna turned to Weston, "Not that I do not love having you here. It is probably best if I reunite with Elena by myself."

"I will be with Chelsy if you need me. You can do it, love." Weston kisses Johanna softly and leaves her quickly.

Johanna walks in and sees all the old friends and people of her past. That is when she sees Elena her back turned to Johanna. Her hair was in loose curls and she had a beautiful white dress on. Johanna then saw Damon next to her and her blood boiled. If had done anything to Elena she would kill him right then and there. Caroline walked up to Elena and smiled she said something to Elena. Caroline seemed happier less annoying and more confident than before. Then Caroline's face got serious when she saw Johanna. Elena turned around quickly, "Johanna?"

Johanna forced a half smile, "Hey Elena…"
