“Hey troublemaker,” said the cute willowy blonde with light blue eyes. Her voice had a teasing lilt as she sat down next to me in Friday morning business class.

I didn’t think I’d be seeing Christina in class, she was who knows where, but we all guessed her and Matt weren’t in Chicago anymore. Still, I hadn’t expected Christina’s usual sitting partner would come seek me out either.

I replied, “Hey witch.”

Jo stuck her tongue out.

I shrugged, “You call me Tom, I’ll call you Jo?”

She said, “Sounds fair, but you are a troublemaker.”

I laughed, “And you are a witch.”

She giggled, “Fine, point. Tom.”

I said, “Jo,” and smiled.

I wasn’t sure why I was bantering with a witch, even if we did get along well enough. Except, my weird sense of humor did kick in when I was off balance, and her sitting next to me had been enough of a surprise to do that.

Still, I was smart enough to be wary. The plan was to lay low as possible the next four or five days, and survive any assassins that were sent our way. Otherwise we were trying to avoid making any waves that might provoke a heavy response from the Blood leadership. Once the truth had been spread, it would be time to push back and get some kind of resolution or compromise everyone could live with. Jo never treated me badly, except perhaps the first time we met, but I couldn’t forget she was the heir to the coven, and anything I told her would go straight to Katherine’s ear.

Absurdly enough, that didn’t mean we weren’t friends of sorts either.

We settled down as the professor came in, stood behind the lectern, and started his usual droning, which he called teaching. And as usual, I took notes, because it helped me stay focused, otherwise his voice would make me zone out about ten minutes in.

After class she murmured, “Hold on a minute, I want to talk to you about a few things.”

I immediately felt suspicious of her motives, but pushed that down. I’d give her the benefit of the doubt. It only took a couple of minutes, and we were the only ones left in the lecture hall.

“First, I wanted to tell you I believed you, but as heir to the coven I have surprisingly little power. That will change in a few years, when I take over for my mother, but until then I’m like a princess, fussed over but no real power.”

“Can I call you princess Jo.”

She rolled her eyes, “Shut up.”

I laughed, “Yes princess.”

She snorted, “I’m trying to extend an olive branch here.”

I nodded, “Sorry Jo, what were you saying?”

She shrugged, “I tried, but they weren’t there with us, and didn’t hear it first-hand. Or see first-hand the belief and conviction in the eyes of over forty Blood spirits. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but us witches can be rather arrogant sometimes, admitting we’ve been fooled for countless generations is a hard pill to swallow.”

I nodded, “I get that, thank you.
