Night of the Comet

Tyler came and picked Jessie up in the morning just like he said he would.

When they got back to the Lockwood mansion, they both got out and went into the kitchen where Carol Lockwood was making coffee. Jessie grabbed a cup before taking the coffee pot from her mom after she was done with it, and poured some coffee into her cup. "Did you have fun last night?" Carol asked her daughter. Jessie nodded slightly before walking upstairs with her coffee.

Carol sighed. "Is Jessie alright?" Carol asked her son Tyler who made some cereal. He shrugged. "Don't worry about it, she's probably just in one of her moods you know what's she like she'll be all happy and stuff soon." Tyler reassured his worried mother. Carol sighed again before shaking her head and leaving the kitchen as Tyler spilled milk down his chin.

After a shower Jessie changed into some grey sweats and polo also a grey hoodie and tied her hair into a loose bun before grabbing her laptop, black board and glue. She loaded up her laptop before putting in the memory chip from her camera and loaded up some pictures that she took of natural forms. Turning up her music, she printed off a few pictures onto photo paper before sitting on the floor with her board, glue, paints and photos. She grabbed a paintbrush and painted delicate flowers onto the corners of the board in red, yellow, pink, blue and greens. Then in white paint she did in curly writing, 'Natural Forms… My Photos.' Waiting for the paint to dry she finished her coffee before placing it onto her cupboard and went to the toilet before coming back and grabbing her paint pallet and going to her bathroom again and washing it up then back into her room where she picked up her paints from the wooden floor and put them all away in her art draw. Sitting back down on the rug, the paint was finally dried so she picked up a picture of a bright pink flower with a creamy white and yellow/peach middle with black and brown seeds she stuck it down after gluing the back. Picking up a picture of a brown butterfly she stuck it down layering over the top of the flower, in the corner so it doesn't cover the whole thing, before picking up her final picture of the sun rising with the black silhouettes of the trees, the a bird flying across the sky. Sticking it under the flower, she got up and turned her Mac laptop off before picking up her board and opening her walk-in closet she went to where her art/photography things were and placed it onto a shelf just a bonus of being the Mayors daughter, she thought.

Going back out after making sure that her room was tidy again, she grabbed her mug before going downstairs and into the kitchen putting it away and making a sandwich to stop her stomach from rumbling. After eating lunch Jessie went back upstairs and closed her door before jumping onto her bed and turning on her television and watching Twilight, grabbing her white teddy bear with blue splotches she hugged it close not caring if she was being a baby she just wanted to forget about everything and relax.

Since Jessie was little she was shy, she has never talked not once in her life. People believe that she was born with this, but Jessie seems to believe otherwise she doesn't know why but she doesn't think that it was just because she was born with it, it was because of something else… something important but she just doesn't know. Could be to do with something that happened to her Ancestors. She didn't sleep very well when she was younger, so she was always up early and it's kind of stuck as not once has she had a lay in, she's always up early. Around when she was 3 years old, she clung to her older brother Tyler, who was 5, always by his side no matter what they did everything together but as she grew older she became to be more independent and the only people she likes to talk with is Megan, Jeremy and Tyler also their friends but she doesn't sign to them that much as she's always shy around people.

On Sunday night, Jessie was having another one of her strange dreams that are becoming more frequent than before.

"That was rubbish. At least try and put effort in wanting to hit my handsome face and body, even though I know you don't want to Jess." He said smirking cheekily. Jessie rolled her green eyes at him before throwing a hit towards his face which he blocked with ease, then she quickly went to trip him up but he jumped out of the way. Breathing deeply she through punches at his arm then his chest but he grabbed her arm and twisted her around into his body holding her there while she breathed deeply.

"Close, but not close enough darling." He whispered sending shivers down her spine. Jessie bit her lip before bringing her leg up then down and into the place where the sun doesn't shine. He groaned and bent over in pain, "That was uncalled for, love." He muttered out standing back up and giving her a soft glare in his deep brown eyes that were always holding a mischievous glint to them. Jessie shrugged innocently before turning her back to him and started to walk away from the clearing but he wouldn't let her go that quickly.

"Sorry darling, but you're going to have to pay for that." He said as he wrapped his toned arms around her waist pulling her into his chest. "Hmm… how shall I pay for that?" Jessie asked mockingly as he gently tugged on her braid over her shoulder.

"With a kiss." He murmured. Jessie rolled her eyes before getting out of his grip making him frown, "sorry love but not today." She said smirking before walking away. He watched as the bronze haired wonder left the clearing holding up her blue dress.

Waking up, early like normal, Jessie ran a hand through her loose curls before grabbing her journal and sitting on her window seat.

Dear Journal, I had another strange dream again it was with him… but I don't know the man name. He seems older than me but only by a few years. These dreams are becoming more frequent than before, they use to be once a month then once a week but now they are every night or so ever since Stefan Salvatore came to town though. Stefan Salvatore… I feel like I know him but I don't know how, I just feel like I do. I believe that he's appeared in my dreams before I just couldn't place a name to him but now I can. These dreams… they don't feel like dreams… they feel like memories…

Tyler opened Jessie's door and saw her sitting on her window seat writing in her journal, he smiled before knocking making her jump. He chuckled while she sent him a weak glare. "See you in 20 ok?" He said and Jessie nodded before he left. She grabbed some dark wash skinny jeans with a grey tee that has a faded American flag on it then a sweater that is light grey with a dark grey cross. She slipped on some black ankle boots and brushed her hair into her normal side braid with her fringe down covering her right eye slightly. Going into the bathroom she brushed her teeth then came out and made her bed, grabbing her bag she went downstairs into the kitchen.

"Coming to see the comet tomorrow?" Tyler asked, giving Jessie her cereal. She thought about it before nodding her head.

They drove to school and Jessie jumped out seeing Megan's blonde waves by the main door, "hey Jessie." Megan greeted holding the door as Jessie went in, hey Megan you ok? Jessie signed. "Yeah I'm good you?"

Yeah I'm all right Jessie signed back before they went to Megan's locker. Megan got her English folder out before they went to Jessie's locked where she got her English folder out as well and put her bag away in her locker and her phone in her pocket before they walked to English. "You written the notes?" Megan asked as they walked into the classroom.

Jessie nodded her head and gestured to Megan, "nope. Mind if I copy?" Megan asked and Jessie grinned before shrugging as they sat down. She got her notes out and handed them to Megan who thanked her before copying them down.

Jessie shook her head smirking before getting her phone out and playing angry birds waiting for the teacher to come in.

At lunch Megan and Jessie were outside talking/signing about the comet tomorrow when Megan saw Jeremy walk out of the doors and was heading towards Tyler Lockwood. "Uh ho, what's Gilbert doing now," Megan said tapping Jessie. Jessie looked towards Jeremy then her brother, giving a soundless sigh she got up and walked towards Tyler as well.

"Hey Tyler, yeah I'm sorry to interrupt I just err wondering how Vicki was doing since you guys were so close. Is she ok?" Jeremy asked Tyler as Megan and Jessie turned up. "She's fine. Now get out of here." Tyler answered shortly.

Jessie frowned at Tyler. "Well how bad is she? Do they know what attacked her? Do they know whether she is going to make a full recovery? Hey was she happy to see you? What room number was she in?" Jeremy asked. Tyler was trying to not get angry as this was Jessie's friend but Jeremy wasn't helping, "I'm going to kick your ass." Tyler said.

Jessie rolled her eyes while Megan giggled quietly, "You know you keep saying that but when are you actually going to do it. Because I vote for right here right now," Jeremy said pushing Tyler away. Jessie shook her head and got in between Tyler and Jeremy giving Jeremy a look. "Walk away Gilbert. That's your final warning." Tyler said after looking at his sister.

"No this is your final warning, dick. I'm sick of watching you play Vicki, hurt her one more time I swear to god that I will kill you." Jeremy threatened before storming off.

"Damn that was like a death threat, you hear that?" Tyler said. Jessie slapped the back of his head before Megan grabbed her arm and pulled her to where Jeremy was.

"Gilbert! What the hell?" Megan shouted and Jeremy turned around rolling his eyes.

"Look sorry, I know he's your brother Jessie and all but like I don't want Vicki to get hurt ok? I like her." Jeremy said. Jessie saw Megan looked heart broken but she covered it up, "I need to go to the girls room." Megan said and walked away.

Jessie sighed before whacking Jeremy around the head, "Ow! What… what was that for?" He asked rubbing his head. Jessie pointed to where Megan had just been then at him before signing, stop being so stupid Gilbert! Before walking off to see Megan.

Jessie heard the soft cries of her friend in a toilet stool, she gently pushed the stool door open and gave Megan a soft smile as she cried. Jessie pulled Megan into a hug, "why is he so… ignorant to the fact that I like him Jessie? I've liked him since 4th grade for crying out loud! But he's too hung up on that Vicki… Donovan…" Megan cried into Jessie's shoulder. Jessie awkwardly patted Megan's back she wasn't very good at comforting people she always found it awkward. Megan gave a small laugh at her friend being awkward, "let's go to history." Megan said as the end of the lunch bell rang. Jessie nodded her head smiling softly at her friend before they hooked arms together and went to their lockers before heading to Mr. Tanner's classroom.

After school, Megan said goodbye to Jessie before getting into the car with Caroline.

"C did you find out who the mystery man was?" Megan asked as she fiddled with the radio dial, Care sighed, "Nope, but damn he was hot." Care giggled and Megan giggled with her cousin. Caroline looked at the time, "hey I'm meeting up with Bon and Elena, you want to come?" Caroline asked looking at Megan quickly before looking back to the road. Megan shook her head smiling, "No I'm good. Got this new magazine and want to try out this new hair style." Megan said grinning and Caroline nodded her head smiling.

"Oh cool, right show me when I get back yeah?" Caroline asked and Megan nodded her head excited and began describing it to Care.

Jessie slammed the car door before storming into the Lockwood mansion and into the music room. Tyler sighed and rolled his eyes before getting out of his car and going into the house.

"Tyler what's happened? Why's Jessie stormed into the music room?" Carol asked confused. Tyler groaned silently, "no reason mom. I've got homework to do, so bye." Tyler said quickly and ran up to his room passing his dad coming downstairs.

Richard frowned seeing his son running upstairs but just shrugged and kissed Carol on the cheek, "where's Jessie?" Richard asked Carol. She sighed. "In the music room, best leave her be honey she's a little mad at something Tyler might have done." Carol answered softly, Richard frowned and went to go back upstairs, "Richard… leave Tyler… Richard… Richard!" Carol said sternly but her husband went to the bedroom floor leaving Carol frustrated as she ran a hand down her face.

Jessie slammed her fingers onto her piano. Sighing, she got up and left the music room and went upstairs to the third floor where the bedrooms were located, going to the end of the hallway Jessie passed Tyler's room and heard her dad and him arguing. Frowning confused, Jessie pressed her fingers against the door, and lightly pushed before peering her head in.

"What did you do to make Jessie angry?" Her father asked annoyed. Tyler rolled his eyes, "Look, everything is fine. Just stay out of my life and Jessie's if you actually care about us." Tyler retorted.

Jessie bit her lip, before pulling the door close and slowly walked to her bedroom and gently closed the door before grabbing her journal and sitting on her window seat

Dear Journal, I'm not angry with Tyler it's just… these dreams, there are confusing and are frustrating me to no end! I mean, how can I dream about these people when I've never met them before and my imagination isn't that good because I wouldn't be able to come up with these perfect people. Dad is arguing with Tyler again, because of me. You know, I wondered, if I wasn't born would things be different? Would Tyler and dad actually get on? Would mom and dad stay at home and have "family time" instead of working all the time? Also could it be because I was a mute, that the family had a strained relationship. All these things, everything that's happened to our family could be because of me, because I'm the freaky Lockwood, the girl who's a mute and has weird dreams of people she's never seen before but now they are suddenly popping up. I just wish I were normal.

The night of the comet was here and Jessie was dressed in a lavender dress that reaches mid-thigh with black ankle boots and a black cardigan. Her hair was pulled into her signature side braid and her fringe clipped back also a purple beanie on her head. She grabbed her silver chain necklace that has a blue heart shaped locket, she's had it since she can remember but the locket wouldn't open she has tried everything, and clipped it round her neck so it fell over top of her breast before she grabbed her phone and ran downstairs seeing Tyler.

"Hey Jessie, ready?" Tyler asked and Jessie nodded her head before they got into his truck and drove in silent to where the celebration was.

"Look… I'm sorry about yesterday." Tyler started but Jessie shook her head and smiled at him before mouthing it's fine.

Tyler smiled at his little sister before holding his hand up and she grinned before high fiving him.

Megan looked around tapping her foot on the ground, as she stood next to Caroline in a red dress with a white cardigan.

"Aren't you meant to be handing out programs?" Caroline asked confused. Megan smiled at her, "Yep but can't be bothered and I'm waiting for Jessie she said she'll be here soon then were going to be helping out with the face paints." Megan said and looked around for her friend.

Caroling nodded and smiled her cousin, "How's it going with you and little Gilbert?" C asked raising an eyebrow at Megan who blushed, "He's still hung up over Vicki Donovan…" Megan mumbled.

Caroline sighed, "Look he's stupid if he can't see that you like him ok?" Caroline said and hugged Megan who hugged her back, "Thanks C. You're amazing," Megan said laughing slightly, Caroline grinned, "Of course I am." Caroline said.

Jessie arrived, and jumped out the car hearing Tyler call after he about being back there by 12, she went to where she saw two blondes and tapped Megan on the shoulder. She turned and grinned at her, Jessie did the same and waved to Caroline who smiled softly at her.

Megan and Jessie made their way over to the face painting and waved at Georgia who was running the stall. Megan grabbed a brush before painting a butterfly on Jessie's cheek, Jessie grabbed a brush after Megan was finished and painted a rose on her cheek.

Jessie was painting a tiger onto a little boy's face while Megan was painting dolphin onto a cute little girl.

After doing a few face paints, it was starting to get dark so Jessie and Megan left Georgia after clearing up their stuff and walked into Matt he smiled at the two girls.

"Here you two go," Matt said handing them both a candle before lighting them with his, Jessie smiled in thanks and Matt nodded his head, "thanks Matt. Could you take a picture of us?" Megan asked grinning. Matt laughed and nodded his head ,"sure." He said and took Megan's phone and Jessie's phone, the girls posed normally, just smiling while he took a photo on both girls phones before they did a goofy one and he took photos again so they both have a copy.

"Thanks Matt." Megan said grinning before the girls walked away.

Megan was looking at the two photos on her phone before looking at the funny one and laughed, "We are so sexy, Jessie." Megan said grinning while Jessie grinned, defiantly she signed.

The girls met up with Caroline and Bonnie, "hey girlies." Caroline greeted the two girls, "hey C and B." Megan greeted before chatting away with the two older girls while Jessie got her phone out and took a photo's of the comet smiling.

Looking around Jessie saw someone looking at her she frowned confused as they locked eyes. Jessie froze as she recognized the man, he gave her an almost there smile before she blinked and he wasn't there anymore. Frowning, she looked around and tried to spot the man with dark brown hair to his ears and a calm feeling around him.

Jessie shook her head slightly thinking it was her imagination before turning back and looking at the comet.

The girls all went into the Grill seeing the others there, Tyler smiled at Jessie and swung his arm around her shoulders, "You alright sis?" Tyler asked. Jessie nodded her head giving him a small smile, not wanting to worry him about seeing the man.

Jessie saw Jeremy coming towards us and Megan frowned.

"Hey has anyone seen Vicki," Jeremy asked frowning, "of course." Megan muttered but I still heard her and gave her a small smile as Tyler went and sat down. "You're her stalker, you tell us." Tyler answered back.

Jessie gave Tyler a glare and he shrugged, "well I can't find her." Jeremy retorted annoyed. Tyler smirked, "well she probably found somebody else to party with. Sorry pill pusher, guess you've been replaced." Tyler said. Jessie turned and looked at Jeremy raising an eyebrow at pill pusher, he ignored her.

Elena turned and gave Tyler a strange look, "what's with the pill pusher?" She asked confused. Tyler nodded to Jeremy, "Ask him."

Jeremy shook his head "you want to do this right now?" Jeremy asked annoyed. Elena sat up and looked at her brother, "are you dealing?" She asked.

"She's never going to go for you." Tyler said smirking, Jeremy sighed, "She already did, over and over, over again." Jeremy retorted.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Tyler said not believing it but Jessie sighed as Megan rolled her eyes. "You slept with Vicki Donovan? I mean Vicki Donovan slept with you?" Caroline asked giving a small laugh of disbelief.

"There's no way!" Tyler denied. Jessie bit my lip as Tyler looked at her, "yeah and I didn't even have to force her into it." Jeremy shouted. Jessie looked at Jeremy and gave him a look, again, he mouthed sorry but Jessie just rolled my eyes.

It was silent, before Matt broke it, "what the hell is he talking about Ty?" Matt asked looking at my brother.

"Nothing man, just ignore him he's just a punk." Tyler said glaring at Jeremy, Jessie frowned at Tyler before looking at Matt, "look how about all of you just shut up and help me find my sister." Matt ordered.

"We'll check the bathroom," Bonnie said gesturing to her and Caroline. "I'll check the square," Matt said, "Me and Jessie will help as well." Megan said to Matt and Jessie nodded her head.

"I'll come with you." Jeremy stated looking at his sister, "Oh… n-n-no. You are coming with me." Elena said and pulled him away while Jeremy sighed annoyed.

Matt, Megan and Jessie walked out into the square, "Ok meet here in 10 yeah?" Matt said and they nodded before we walked off on our own.

Jessie looked around the square before looking up on the building's roofs well… she is on drugs… Jessie looked around before spotting two people on the roof, Jessie faintly heard Vicki screaming while a man was pushing her off the roof but pulling her back. Suddenly another person appeared and Jessie could just faintly make it out as Stefan Salvatore. How did he get up there so quickly? Jessie thought confused.

Jessie saw the two men talking for a while, before she saw Vicki stand up and say something then she came down.

Vicki walked out of the building and saw Jessie before Stefan appeared by her side.

Jessie frowned before walking away from the square and into the Grill going over to Tyler, "want to go home? Stefan brought Vic in." Tyler said and Jessie nodded her head stifling a yawn before she went over and saw Megan.

"You going home now?" Megan asked. Jessie nodded her head and Megan smiled giving Jessie a hug, "see you tomorrow yeah? Hopefully we can have a semi-normal day." Megan smirked and Jessie grinned nodded her head before going outside and getting into Tyler's car.

When they got home, their parents were asleep as it was 12am so they said goodnight to each other before Jessie went to her room and grabbed her journal.

Dear Journal, today was normal… I guess. It was the comet today it was pretty cool got some good photos on my phone. Megan and I did face painting got some money from that, so that was fun. Vicki Donovan was like being help captive on the roof of a building today with Stefan Salvatore and the other new guy, but Stefan he got onto the rood so quickly! It wasn't possible! Then there are the twin bite holes in Vicki's neck when she got attacked… Something else was a little strange though, I saw a man today it was a man that has appeared in a few of my dreams. But… it's just that… why are the people from my dreams coming to life? I mean, could these dreams mean something or be memories from a past life? Stupid right, but anything could be possible. I don't know, something is going on, something big… and I've got a feeling that this is just the start of it.
