Hi there, I just want to thank you for your reviews and your follows, it means a lot to me.
Chloe - Thank you so much for your support
Enchanted Hybrid - I agree with the whole Elena part and how she would act, so hopefully I did her justice in the chapter. I was originally going to make Jess a minor character but knowing you like her I might make her a more major part of the story.
christine768594 - thank you so much for your support
Demi3456 - I am definitely going to play with the idea of Theresa/Jeremy and slowly integrate the originals, are there any in particular you would like to see?
A few drinks later, Stefan and I called it a night and headed back to the farm. When I pulled up to the house I saw the lights downstairs where still on which meant Jess was up and about unpacking our things. I swung the door open and called out for her "Jess you here?"
I followed Stefan who made his was in to the kitchen where he got out a blood bag, I followed suit and grabbed one to replenish my strength.
"Already battling the hangover I see?" I smiled widely then turned around to see Jess standing there with her hand on her hip and an eyebrow up.
"Haha please, you know it would take a lot more than a couple of beers to get me really hammered. And I really didn't want to receive another lecture on drunk driving awareness and what not." She gave me a small smile.
"Well, seeing as Theresa is so rude and egotistic" she teased me and gave a small wink "I will have to introduce my self, hi, I'm Jess."
She stuck her hand out to Stefan and they shook. "Hey, I'm Stefan, pleasure to make your acquaintance"
"Oh, I know. Theresa always seems to talk about the Salvatore brothers, and when I first saw you, you didn't seem like a.. how did you put it again T? Self-indulgent egomaniac playboy, so I assumed you weren't Damon. And plus when Theresa arrived soaking wet from diving in the lake, she was cursing and muttering 'Lexi you owe me one', 'Stefan Salvatore you owe me new Manolo Blahniks' blah blah blah." she explained.
"Today has been exhausting, so I am going to head off to bed. You should get some rest too Jess, I don't want to lose you again. And Stefan there's a room for you too. Night" I trudged up the stairs and put on my pyjamas and fell blissfully asleep.
-Next Day-
I rolled onto my side and opened my eyes to see the sun rising, it was just around 6:30 in the morning so I decided to go on a run. I know it sounds silly going on a run when you are a vampire and are in peak physical form, but it's the one thing that makes me feel free and slightly human, so on that note I pulled on my sneakers and went off on my run. polyvore (.com) /theresa_12/set?id=90549247
I decided to run on a trail I noticed yesterday that wound around the forest. I was running at human pace, I figured what's the fun in running if you can't take in the scenery. Just as I turned to the right catching a glimpse of the river from yesterday I crashed into someone sending us down onto the forest floor.
"Oof! Oh my god I am so sorry, I didn't mean to." I explained as we got up, I looked up when I heard them chuckling.
"It's no problem. I should've been looking where I was going too" Jeremy said giving me this sheepish grin "what are you doing out here? And at this time? I would've thought you'd be sleeping, getting all of your beauty rest and what not"
"Are you suggesting I need the beauty rest?" I joked, he turned pink "don't worry I was joking, I like coming for runs, it's the one normal thing I can do as a vampire."
"Look, I know this is a bit out of the blue but would you like to hang out some time? Like today at the Grille for lunch?" He looked down at his feet.
"Jeremy Gilbert I would love that" I smiled warmly "anyways I better head back and beautify myself for our date later. I'll meet you there around 12" with that I took off back in the direction of the farm.
After I showered, got changed and did my make up and what not, I headed downstairs to the kitchen to find some breakfast. When I entered Stefan and Jess were at the table laughing over something, Jess acknowledged my presence with a "good morning" and Stefan followed suit. polyvore (.com)/theresa/set?id=90419267
I leaned back against the island so I was facing them, "I'm going out for lunch today, do you guys want to head into town?"
"Nah, we were actually planning on staying here. I'm going to teach Jess how to ride a horse, isn't that right Jess" Stefan looked at her with a genuine smile on his face.
"Yes he is! I am so excited Theresa!" She beamed at me, I felt a smile form on my face. polyvore (.com)/jess/set?id=90671476
"Okay then, have fun!" I waved bye to them and headed to my car and drove off to the Mystic Grille.
When I entered I scanned the room for my date but he hadn't turned up yet, instead I walked up to Damon and Elena who were sitting in the same booth as they were last night.
"Hi Elena! Damon. I was wondering if it would be okay if I sat with you until my date arrives?" I asked.
"I don't think s-" Damon started but Elena cut him off.
"Of course you can." As she gestured to the seat across them "sorry about how I acted last night, you have to understand it was a bit of a shock seeing Stefan with a new girlfriend already."
I gave a light chuckle before smiling at her "Stefan and I aren't dating, I'm just looking out for him on behalf of Lexi. You know sisterly duties and what not."
"Oh, okay, well seeing as Damon refused to spill. How do you two know each other? You know what don't answer that yet, me and Caroline officially invite you to a girls night this Friday, what do you think?" her eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Haha, well that sounds great, as long as you give me all the juicy gossip on what's been happening in town. Particularly the Mikealson's" I saw them both tense when I mentioned their names but before they could say anything my phone chimed alerting me of a new text.
Hey. It's Jere, I'll be there in 2 minutes.
I sent off a quick reply then stood up, "my date is about to arrive so I will see you guys later" I got up and went over to Jeremy who had just walked through the doors.
"Hey, wow you look great" I blushed at his comment, "do you want to go somewhere else? My sister is here and I don't really want her watching our date"
"Yeah, do you want to give me a tour of the town? I haven't been here in centuries, and everything is completely different" He held his hand out for me to take and I did.
He took me around the town showing me the school, town square, the library and all the other places. We ended up walking in the park by the river.
"Go on" Jeremy gave me a confused look "well I know you're dying to know stuff about me, so I will give you 5 questions"
He chuckled then looked at me "okay, I'll start with something easy, are you really Lexi's older sister?"
"Mmmhm, although not many people would know about me, our relationship was sort of a grey area" We moved off down closer to the river and on to the grass and found a bench to sit on.
"How old are you?"
I fake gasped "Jeremy Gilbert! Don't you know it's rude to ask a lady her age?" I put my hand on my chest and sighed "and here I thought you were chivalrous" I gave him a small nudge and said "human years wise I am 24, vampire years wise I am going to go with 300 to 400 years plus"
"Wow, I don't know how I feel about dating an old lady" he teased "you by far are the oldest cougar in town" we both burst out laughing, "favourite year or era?"
"I will definitely have to say the 1920s" I remember it clearly, vivacious women who dressed how they wanted and had fun because they knew they had just as much right to it as men did.
"Have you ever in your time ran into Stefan or Damon?" I moved my gaze from the river to Jeremy.
"I had the.. well I wouldn't say pleasure, but I have met Damon before today and Stefan I've seen once or twice when Lexi pointed him out. Last question Gilbert make it count"
He pretended to stroke his invisible beard and thought long and hard about it, after several minutes he finally came up with one "How many boyfriends/husbands have you had?"
I must've looked shocked and impressed because he was laughing quite a bit. "That is a very good question, shall we walk and talk" we pushed ourselves off the bench and continued walking "Let's see boyfriend wise I would say 50 plus, and well I've only been married once"
"Who did you marry?" I could see the curiosity gleam in his eyes.
"Uh-uh Gilbert, answering that would mean I broke my rule of 5 questions only" honestly the marriage wasn't a very good idea and I for one am all for living in the moment and not dredging up the past.
"Technically this counts as a sub question to my previous question, if that makes any sense" this boy just wouldn't give up.
"I definitely think it's someone you might know" we had stopped walking and were now looking at each other.
"Okay, so who is it? Martin Luther King? The pope? Shakira?" I giggled.
"His name was Kol. Kol Mikealson"
I thought I would leave it with a bit of suspense about this. Please review and tell me what you think about the chapter, it would mean a lot to hear what you have to say.
Let me know which originals and characters you would like to see in this story, and what do you think about a flash back chapter?
