Pilot

Tyler carefully crept into Jessie's room trying to not wake his little sister, but it was a failed attempt as she was sitting on her window seat looking to the sky towards the sunrise.

Giving a small sigh at seeing his younger, mute, sister awake early like normal he knocked on the door making Jessie turn her head to look at him. "Can I come in?" He asked smiling. Jessie nodded. She never liked anyone entering without asking, she thought it was polite to ask before someone came in, it was as if she wasn't meant to be born in this era where people came and left as they pleased not caring much for manners whereas Jessie respected manners, and people's personal space.

"The sun looks cool today," Tyler, said absentminded, as he sat down on her purple bed cover. Jessie just nodded her head softly and kept her soft green eyes peering out of the open window.

"Looking forward to the start of school?" Tyler asked. Jessie nodded her head again. Standing up, he walked over and ruffled her hair playfully, "Get ready, I'm not going to wait for you today." He joked. Jessie gave him a small smile and signed to him saying, you're the one that takes forever, not me. Tyler chuckled and signed back, whatever you say little sis before he left Jessie to get ready.

Jessie gave a sad smile, before she got off the window seat and changed into her clothes for the day that was a light blue dress that goes a few inches above her knee with black ankle boots finished with a navy cardigan. She brushed through her bronze curls that reach mid-back before tying it into a braid over her left shoulder with a few strands free and falling around her face, she clipped back her right side fringe to show her big green eyes and put on a navy beanie before going to her bathroom and brushing her teeth.

Tyler finished making Jessie's breakfast when she came into the kitchen with her black messenger bag over her shoulder and her bronze curls pulled into her natural side braid with a hat on her head.

Tyler gestured to the breakfast, "Here you go Jessie." He said, she nodded and sat down before eating her breakfast while Tyler ate his. Tyler only ever acted soft and kind when he was around his little sister, she saw him in a different light plus he loved his little sister and will do anything for her.

When she finished, she mouthed thanks to Tyler who nodded. She didn't bother asking where are mother or father were, as she already knew the answer, work.

Looking at the news, Jessie frowned at seeing another animal attack what is with all these animal attacks?

"Hey we better go," Tyler said and Jessie nodded standing up grabbing her bag before she left with Tyler and got into his truck then he drove them to school.

When they got to school Tyler stopped Jessie before she got out, "remember if anyone gives you a hard time tell me ok?" She smiled and nodded her head shyly before getting out of his truck and started to walk towards school.

She went straight to her locker and opened it after doing the combination, and placed in her bag before getting out her folder for English, as that was her first lesson.

"Hey Jessie," Her best friend Megan said grinning hugely, Megan was Caroline's cousin but she lived with Care and her mom Liz as her parents died in a plane crash. Jessie smiled and waved at her happy friend before closing her locker and Megan hooked her arm through Jessie's and they began to walk to English while Megan talked about how Caroline wanted her to be on the Cheerleading squad but Meg would only do it if Jessie did it. Jessie rolled her eyes and pointed to her throat and recognition came over her tanned face, "I didn't mean it like that Jessie! It's just that… you don't like the spotlight on you, as you're really shy… I didn't mean it in a mean way about you being mute." Megan quickly said making Jessie give her a smile and shake her head. Then Jessie mouthed, it's ok, don't worry about it.

Jeremy came up to them looking frustrated, Meg raised an eyebrow at him but he looked at Jessie. "Your brother can be an ass sometimes," Jeremy muttered making Jessie nod her head smirking before he walked off to the men's room.

Jessie and Megan looked as Jeremy came out of the men's room and walked off, before they saw the hot new kid walk towards it and Elena come out bumping into him, "wow… he's hot." Megan said and Jessie nodded in agreement. "Too bad it's love at first sight," Megan mumbled making Jessie frown and looked at Megan confused, "look at Elena and the new kid… they look cute together." Meg grinned while Jessie smiled before they walked off to start their first day as a freshman.

After school Jessie went home with Tyler she went straight to her room and started on her History essay about the Early Civilizations. After 2 hours, she finally finished her essay before starting her English homework that was just writing notes on the chapter that she had to read on To Kill A Mockingbird. After she finished Tyler came in and saw his sister tiding up her books and getting her bag ready for tomorrow.

"Want to come to The Grill? Mom and dad aren't back till later so we cane get dinner there." Ty said. Jessie gave a soundless sigh before nodding her head and picking up her phone and grabbing a scarf she walked with Tyler to his car and they drove to The Grill.

When they got there Tyler and Jessie saw Matt and made their way over, they sat down and Jessie got her IPhone out and played angry birds on her phone while Matt and Tyler talked about football.

"What do you want to eat Jessie?" Matt asked and Jessie looked up before signing to Matt, chicken salad and soda please. Matt nodded and said her order to his sister, Vicki as she gave Tyler his drink then Tyler took Jessie's phone and played angry birds and she took a straw from the straw pot and took it out of its wrapper and twirled it around her fingers.

"Looks like Jeremy just got blown off by my sister," Matt mumbled and Jessie looked up to see her other best friend, Jeremy, look a bit annoyed and frustrated making her roll her eyes at how he was being a lovesick puppy but he was her best friend and she will stick by his decisions.

"Here you go," Vicki said giving Jessie her food and Matt his, "Thanks Vic." Matt said to his sister and Tyler gave Jessie's phone back to her and she saw a text from Megan. I'm at the grill u with Matt and Ty? X –Megan

Yeah near the bar… ish… Vic's here x –Jessie

Oh :3 hehe… x –Megan

Jessie smiled when Meg made her way over to them and got past Matt so she was opposite Jessie next to Matt.

"Do you need another refill?" Vicki asked Tyler, "I'll have one." Tyler replied and Jessie made a gagging face making Matt smirk.

"Please tell me that you're not hooking up with my sister." Matt asked. Tyler made an innocent face, "I'm not hooking up with your sister," He said innocently making Jessie give him a look and he shrugged. "You're such a dick." Matt said rolling his eyes.

Jessie ate her salad with Megan picking at the chicken, "how can you like cucumber?" Megan asked scrunching up her nose while Jessie blushed slightly and shrugged before pointing to the cucumber and sticking her thump up with a small smile then rubbed her stomach. Megan grinned at her best friend before picking some chicken again.

"I'm going to go play pool, you going to be alright Jessie?" Tyler asked her. She sighed and thought, I'm not weak but nodded her head playing with her lettuce before Matt and Tyler got up and went to the pool table.

"Bonfire tomorrow night, so what you wearing? I can come over and help you get ready after school then do your make-up then your hair. You could have your hair straightened and down…" Jessie zoned Megan out as she began rambling on about clothes, hair and make-up she is too much like Caroline, Jessie thought.

Everyone thought that Jessie was weak just because she was mute, but she wasn't also they thought that she couldn't do anything without anyone else being there to help her, she wants to do things on her own but she can't as she is the mute Lockwood, the one everyone has to look out for, the one people talk about when they think she can't hear. Jessie was just unlucky that she was born with this, but she developed early and is very smart she knows more things than the average adult but she doesn't show it in her essays because she doesn't want to be the geek that is mute.

"Jessie? Jessie?" Megan said waving her hand in front of her friend who seemed to have zoned out. Jessie snapped back and looked at Megan sheepishly and blushed, before mouthing sorry. Megan smiled at her best friend she has a habit of zoning out. "It's ok Jessie, oh look its Mr. Sexy…" Megan said looking at Stefan Salvatore as he walked into the Grill with Elena Gilbert.

Jessie gave Megan a grin before pulling her knees up to her chest and looking at Stefan.

Stefan looked behind Matt and locked eyes with the green eyes bronze girl he froze as a memory flashed before his eyes.

"Jessie I don't wish to sword fight with a lady," Stefan said not looking up from his book. Jessie placed her hands on her hips and tilted her head to the side as she thought. Stefan looked up and saw an evil glint in her sparkling green eyes. "Please Stefan? You'll be my best friend," Jessie said smiling innocently.

"It's very unladylike for a lady of your nature to be sword fighting a man Jessie." Stefan retorted before Jessie stole his novel making him frown before getting up. "Give me my book back, please Jessie." Stefan asked nicely. Jessie shook her head smirking her bronze curls pulled back into a braid going down her back.

"I'm unable to do so Stefan, unless you sword fight with me? Please Stefan? I'm bored without Damon around, plus since Damon left for war you've been a grumpy old sod now come." Jessie said determined.

Stefan gave a laugh at his best friend before she ran off, making him shake his head and chase after the bronze haired wonder.

"Stefan you ok?" Elena asked concerned. Stefan broke contact with Jessie and nodded his head while Jessie was confused as she recognised him not just because she saw him this morning.

"Ok so today class, you're given the free will to do anything you wish. But you must take the photographs on school grounds ok? Be back before the end of the hour please." Miss. James said and Jessie picked up her camera before walking out into the hallway and onto the school field before climbing to the top of the bleaches and taking a picture of the whole school filed with the sun just right making the grass sparkle adding a rainbow to the camera. Looking at the picture Jessie smiled before taking a few more pictures of the nature then heading back into the classroom just as the bell rang.

"Ok remember you have a month to do your photo board ok? They have to be your own photos otherwise you won't be graded and will fail the class. See you next week." Miss. James said and dismissed her class.

Jessie grabbed her photo folder and held it while holding her camera in her case before going to her locker getting her bag and slipping her books in that she needs before closing her locker and seeing Megan. Megan hooked her arm through Jessie's and began talking about how Jeremy was still hung up on Vicki which annoyed Megan and Megan had a crush on him but wouldn't admit it to him, Jessie just nodded at the right time taking in what her best friend had to say before they got toe Tyler's truck.

He smiled a the two girls before driving them all back to the Lockwood's where they got ready for the bonfire.

"This skirt will look so cute on you! With black tights and a cute shirt." Megan said going through Jessie's closet. She gave Jessie her clothes and Jessie went into the bathroom to change while Megan changed in one of the spare rooms.

Jessie looked in the mirror and she was wearing a checked blue and black skirt that was flared and went to mid-thigh, with black netted tights also a white long sleeve button up shirt. Jessie pulled her hair into a ponytail but didn't add any make-up before going back into her room where Megan was dressed in a black mini skirt with a long sleeve red tee and a jacket. Jessie slipped on some black converse before grabbing a jacket and heading downstairs where Tyler was. He looked at Jessie and raised an eyebrow, "change now." He ordered but Megan glared at him.

"Hell no football guy! You are not ruining my piece of art so shove it up your ass and deal with it, now can we go?" Megan asked giving Tyler a sweet smile making him roll his eyes before she walked out leaving the Lockwood siblings on their own.

"Come on sis, let's go." Tyler said and placed his arm around her shoulders in a brotherly way and led her towards the car and drove them all to the bonfire.

"Ok remember no drinking otherwise I'm bringing you two straight back, and Megan I'm telling your aunt also I'll tell mum and dad about you as well Jessie, ok? Now go have fun." Tyler said to the two girls. Megan rolled her eyes but smiled at how protective Tyler is of his sister before getting out and hooking her arm through Jessie's and they walked off to see their friends.

Tyler made sure that Jessie and Megan were all right before going off to see Vicki.

"Hey I'm going to go get us a drink ok?" Megan said and Jessie nodded giving her a thumbs up and Megan left to get them a drink.

"Hey I'm Stefan, your Jessica right?" Jessie looked up and saw Stefan. Jessie's mouth opened to try and reply but then blushed, so she just nodded.

"Your Tyler's sister, aren't you?" Stefan asked and Jessie nodded her head as she didn't know is he knew sign language like her friends did as they learnt for her. Jessie looked to the ground trying to think of a way to tell him that she was mute. She looked into his eyes and pointed to her throat and shook her head. "You… you can't speak?" Stefan stumbled trying to not sound like it was bad, it wasn't it's just that he's shocked.

Jessie bit her lip and nodded slowly. Stefan smiled at her before signing, you seem pretty cool Jessie. Jessie gave him a smile and blushed before Megan came back with a drink for her. "I'll see you around Jessie, bye Megan." Stefan said and left.

"What did Mr. Sexy want?" Megan asked taking a sip of her soda, Jessie just shook her head and drunk her soda before seeing Jeremy walk up to them.

"Your brother is being a dick… again." Jeremy mumbled and drunk his beer. Megan and Jessie looked at each other before looking back at Jeremy, what's he done now? Jessie signed to Jeremy who sighed. "He tried to force Vicki to have sex with him against a tree in the woods." Jeremy said.

Jessie frowned confused. What the bloody hell is Tyler thinking?

Jeremy drunk his beer and looked over at his sister before leaving his friends and walking into the woods with his sister calling to him.

Jessie saw her brother and handed her drink to Meg before walking over to her brother and tapping him on the shoulder. He turned around and groaned mentally, "what?" He asked annoyed. Jessie raised an eyebrow before signing, what the hell is wrong with you? Stop being stupid!

Tyler rolled his eyes before turning back around but Jessie grabbed his shoulder and turned him back before slapping his face then signed, stop being a jerk and walked away from her shocked brother.

"Whoa well done Jessie," Megan said grinning before they heard Elena shouting to everyone.

"Somebody help!" Elena shouted as she and Jeremy came out of the forest holding Vicki. Jessie and Megan shared a glance before running over with Matt who was panicked and scared for his sister, "what the hell?" Matt asked in shock as they saw her neck bloody.

"Guys somebody call an ambulance," Megan said. Jessie looked at Vicki's neck and saw two holes, what? "Guys give her some space, back up!" Tyler ordered moving people away so there was space.

"She's losing a lot of blood, it's bad." Elena said worriedly as she tried to stop the bleeding. Jessie stood next to Jeremy and took his hand squeezing it meaning that it's going to be ok Jeremy nodded and squeezed her hand back but looked worried at Vicki. Jessie looked up and looked at Stefan as he began to walk backwards before turning away, frowning she turned back to look at Vicki.

"Vicki come on open your eyes, look at me." Matt said worried.

Megan looked at Jeremy who was intently focused on Vicki and sighed but couldn't help but panic and keep checking behind her looking into the woods feeling scared while Jessie remained calm at least she was on the outside.

The ambulance soon arrived and Jessie and Megan walked over to Caroline who was drunk, "hey girlies." Caroline said slurring slightly. Jessie smiled at Caroline before Bonnie came over.

"Hey were going to the Grill to wait for the news, you two want to come?" Bonnie asked. Megan nodded still in shock while Jessie looked around for her brother but couldn't see him. Jessie turned back and nodded her head deciding on texting her brother when she gets to the Grill.

Bonnie drove them all to the Grill and the four girls went and sat down after ordering some coffee to help sober up Care.

Jessie took her phone out and sent a quick text to Tyler, staying with Meg tonight pick me up in the morning x –Jessie

Ok be gd x –Tyler

"Are you sober yet?" Bonnie asked Caroline. Care looked up, "err no." She mumbled before looking back down. "Keep drinking I've got to get you lot home, I've got to get me home." Bonnie said smiling softly.

"Come on Care, drink your coffee." Megan said to her cousin.

"Why didn't he go for me?" Caroline asked looking back up, "you know, how come… the guys that I want never want me." Caroline said. Jessie signed to Megan, got a sleeping tablet? Could put it in her coffee and then she's out like a light so she won't embarrass herself? Megan grinned at her friend but shook her head no.

"I'm not touching that," Bonnie said softly shaking her head but Caroline went on. "I'm inappropriate, always say the wrong thing and Elena always says the right thing." Caroline said and Jessie looked at her confused, "She doesn't even try! And he just picks her! And she's always the one that everyone picks, for everything and I try so hard and I'm never the one." Caroline ranted.

"It's not a competition Caroline." Bonnie said but Caroline just looked at her before answering, "yeah it is." She said.

It was silent as they all drunk their coffees before Bonnie got up and went to pay for them with Megan while Jessie stayed with Caroline. Jessie tapped Caroline's shoulder and smiled at her which Care returned before Jessie signed to her, guys do want you. You should hear what they say at school about you. Caroline smiled at Jessie, "thanks Jessie." Caroline said softly before looking up and smirking flirtatiously.

Jessie followed Care's line of sight and saw a handsome man who seemed about 23 sitting on the booth next to them.

Damon smirked at the blonde a plan already forming in his head before his gaze turned to the bronze haired girl who looked at him curiously. Everything seemed to freeze as Damon looked at her, how could she be here? How is she alive? He got up and left the Grill quickly, and went straight back to the boarding house and into Stefan's room.

"Why is there a 15-year-old looking girl that looks exactly like JJ when she was alive in 1864?" Damon asked.

Stefan looked up from his journal and sighed, "That's what I want to know, brother."
