prisonworldJade: Quick question. Who the hell are you?
Josie: Jade?
FLASHBACK
Jade: Knock it off, Wendy. You're gonna burn the place down.
Wendy: Okay, Warden. You're just upset you can't go to your Muggle party.
Jade: Yeah, well, I told Inez I was gonna be there, and now she's gonna think that I flaked on her.
Wendy: Yep, the barrier spell is still up. Thanks for checking, though.
Diego: I hate being locked up.
Wendy: Yeah, well, in case you didn't notice, I got issues, too. And being stuck in detention with an edgy werewolf is triggering 'em.
Jade: You know, we wouldn't even be here if you could just control yourself.
Diego: It's not me. It's the turn. When the full moon's coming, something just happens to me.
Wendy: You mean, like, you become a wolf?
Diego: Oh, screw you. You got no idea what it feels like, to feel every bone in your body break. It's worse than any pain you've ever felt.
Wendy: Okay, you've convinced me. Life is awful and unfair. So relax. Detention's gonna last as long as it lasts.
Jade: Unless… Hey, Joze.
Josie: Hi.
Jade: What you doing? You spying on me? This is Diego and Wendy.
Josie: She's the witch who does fire.
Jade: Yeah, we're spelled in here. And now we're gonna miss this really awesome party that we wanted to go to.
Wendy: Aren't you one of those special siphon witches? I bet you could take this barrier spell down with no problem.
Jade: No. No way. No, that's too hard. Only advanced witches can do that. Unless I mean, you think you could handle a big girl spell like that.
Josie: I'm not supposed to.
Jade: No, it's all right. We'll go to the party and then be back before anyone even realizes we're gone. What do you say, Joze? You one of us?
Jade: Little Josie Saltzman all grown-up. I'll be damned. Is Lizzie here, too?
Josie: Uh, no. Jade, what are you doing here?
Jade: If it's okay with you, can we have this conversation after I eat? Because I'm starving, and you look delicious.
Josie: You're a monster.
Kai: A monster would have let you die. That vampire who tried to turn you into her own personal Capri Sun? She's the real monster. She and her cronies run this world. They revived me from desiccation just so they could have a little plaything. Every day, like clockwork, they hunt me down and kill me. But since I'm magically bound to this world, I can't actually die. So I pop back up only to be hunted and killed all over again every day. Welcome to the Supernatural Hunger Games.
Jade: Thank God you're here. I'm still hungry.
Josie: I thought you killed her.
Kai: Yeah, I totally did. But they're banished to this world, like me, so they just keep coming back.
Jade: Oh, this is gonna be fun.
Alaric: If you're planning on torturing me, you're gonna be disappointed. I can handle the torture.
Jade: How about seeing your daughter be tortured?
Alaric: Josie, are you okay?
Jade: For now, but what happens next is up to you. So talk. 'Cause I've waited ten years for an explanation for what you did to us.
Alaric: What other choice did you leave me?
Alaric: Tell me, how did this happen?
Jade: No idea.
Alaric: The three of you convinced Josie to let you out of detention. Wendy and Diego aren't talking. Jade, you're not like them. You're a good student. You care about people. You're applying to med school because you want to save lives. Talk to me. Tell me what happened. Help me understand because this, this isn't you.
Jade: Yeah, well, maybe you don't know the real me.
Alaric: One of the victims, her name's Inez. There's a picture of you two on your bulletin board. Why did you rip her throat out?
Jade: I wasn't there.
Alaric: She was holding this. It's yours.
Jade: So just go ahead and punish us. You've already made up your mind.
Alaric: I knew what I had to do. Five people were dead, brutally murdered. Fed on, ripped apart, dismembered, burned to cover it up. And not one of you showed any remorse or even admitted what you had done. I couldn't let you stay at the school. I wasn't gonna unleash you into the world.
Diego: So you sent us here forever? Is that how you help your students?
Alaric: No. I made a mistake. I should have killed you.
Jade: Ooh, doubling down in the face of imminent death. Ballsy.
Alaric: I knew you were killers, that you wouldn't change. It was Caroline that talked me into showing you mercy.
Diego: Enough talk. Let's kill him.
Jade: No. I want him to suffer first. You two go check on Kai. He has all the pieces to get us out now. Make sure he doesn't leave us behind.
Jade: You're so sure you're right. How about I tell you what actually happened that night? Inez invited me to a party in the woods. We'd been flirting for a few months. I thought it was my chance to finally see if she was really into girls or not. Wendy really wanted to come, and she was trying to get Diego to notice her, so she talked me into bringing him, too. It was a freak party. Seeing who could get the biggest weirdo to show up. Yeah, they took one look at us, and they just they knew we were different.
FLASHBACK
Inez: Hey.
Jade: Hey.
Inez: I'm glad you came.
Townie: Wow. Inez actually got three of the boarding school losers to show up.
Jade: What's he talking about?
FLASHBACK
Jade: Let's go.
Townie: Check this out. [Throws a football at Diego's head.]
Wendy: Diego, don't.
Jade: It should have ended there. I could have stopped it, but I froze. Maybe I didn't want to prove them right about us being different. Or maybe part of me wanted it to happen. Everything after that's a blur. I did find out something that night. I'm a ripper.
Inez: Jade, please. No, Jade…
Jade: I'm so sorry.
Jade: That was the worst moment of my life. You think I didn't feel any remorse for what happened. But I did. Shame. Guilt. Panic. I couldn't bear feeling all of it anymore. So I decided not to. I shut off my humanity that night. I was screaming for help. You just couldn't hear it. But being here where you sent us, I've killed Kai, Diego, and Wendy thousands of times. So maybe you're right after all. Because I've finally become the killer that you thought I was.
Alaric: I'm sorry I didn't recognize the signs.
Jade: You were too busy protecting your daughters. You're good at that. Let's just see how good. Come with me. There's a game I want to play.
Jade: This is the fun part. It's what we do with Kai. Basically, it's hide-and-seek. You run and hide and I seek.
Alaric: No.
Jade: Uh, yes. Or else I will hurt Josie. I will hurt her so bad that she will be begging for me to kill her. Come on. It's supposed to be fun. You know what? I'll even give you a five-minute head start. And if you can survive being hunted for 24 hours, I will let your daughter live. I mean, that's all you really care about, right?
Alaric: Fine. Let's play.
Diego: [Holds up a note that reads: "THANKS FOR ALL THE SEX — KAI."] Your boyfriend left us here.
Jade: Yeah, well, it's a good thing I prefer girls anyway. Besides, I don't care about that guy. All I care about right now is finding Saltzman.
Wendy: A locator spell isn't very sporting of you.
Jade: Yeah, well, let the punishment fit the crime.
Wendy: [Chanting.]
Diego: No way. He's here.
Jade: No. He's beneath us. He's in the tunnels.
Diego: He's at the armory. What is that?
Jade: Who cares? We'll find him. And he won't put up much of a fight.
Wendy: Jade, he's in the house!
Jade: Tag. You're it.Oh, come on. Let's not fight. We don't want to waste any of that blood. [SCREAMING. [PANTING.] [SWITCH: FLIPS.] I'm so sorry.
Alaric: Josie.
Josie: What did you do? I fixed her.
Jade: I can help. Dr. Saltzman. It's me. I don't know how, but Josie turned my humanity back on. Look, you can still kill me if you want to, all right? I know that I deserve it. But I was training as an EMT when I was 16, and I've spent the last ten years learning how to patch people up after a fight, all right? I can help her. But I can't be near the blood. So you're just gonna have to do exactly what I tell you.
Jade: Okay, now you're gonna need to stop the bleeding. There's a Laughlin clamp on the tray. It kind of looks like…
Alaric: Yeah, I know what it looks like. Her mom invented it.
Jade: Okay. Vessel's sealed. Her pulse is steady.
Alaric: Thank you.
Josie: Hello again.
Jade: What happened to you?
Alaric: She did something dangerous with black magic. And now she can't recall why.
Josie: I must have had a reason. But it's blank. There's something's missing from my memory. Or someone. Jade: Uh same. I don't know what this is, but I found it in my pocket.
Alaric: Who's Kai?
Josie: The person who's missing from our memory. There's a spell affecting my mind. I've felt it before. Malivore.
Alaric: You might want to grab a seat, Jade.
Jade: Why?
Jade: So, does this mean you can get us back into the real world? It's all right. I talked to them.
Wendy: We just want to go home.
Jade: Hey. So, um Lizzie should stay off her feet for a day or two. And, uh, she shouldn't lift anything heavy. I'm, uh I'm glad to have the real you back.
Josie: Same.
Josie: Jade?
