In this chapter, they finally arrive in Mystic Falls. I didn't do the best job near the end, but I wanted to get it done... but I'm still pleased with it.
There is some Klessica in this... and Damon make an appearance. Now enough with the author's note, read the chapter.
ENJOY!
The sun was beating on top of them as they passed the sign welcoming them to Mystic Falls. They had left the top down on the car so they could feel the wind through their hair. Jessica sat in the back of the car. She had her head tilted back, so she could soak the sun's rays in her face. She took in deep breath, smelling the Mystic Falls air. She looked at the sky through her sunglasses as they drove up to a house. Jessica looked up at it and she had to blink a couple of times. She'd never seen a house look that expensive looking before. Klaus parked the car and walked up to the house with Jessica and Elizabeth behind him. He put his hand on the door knob and turned it. He tested to see if they would be able to go in by moving his foot over the line at the bottom of the doorway. It went through which meant they were able to go in. Jessica and Elizabeth followed Klaus into the house, amazed at the inside of it. The stood in the circular area and Jessica was just plain awe.
"Ya like it?" Klaus asked as he turned to them. They just nodded their heads before started to explore the first level. The girls were just amazed at the house while they looked at it. They only looked at the first floor by the time an hour had passed. Jessica went into the circular area that she was in when she entered the house.
"I'm gonna go get a bite to eat," She said before grabbing her purse.
"Make sure you come back." Klaus said from the living room. "Bring something warm." Jessica turned the knob and went out the door.
She walked around town for a little bit before coming upon the grill. She went inside and ordered some food. She took a deep breath before taking a sip from her soda. While she waited for her food, she looked around at the people. She has her eye on a blonde before a black haired person sat next the person. She moved her head back to her table, looking at her soda. Not long after her food came, which she finished fast, she went into the bathroom.
When she got out, she walked past the bar. She froze and took a step back to see the face. He eyes searched his face, staying the same size.
"Umm..." she said which made the man turn his head to her, "I think I know you." A small look of interest came upon the man's face. "I don't know …uh, excuse me…" She said before going back to her table. She saw the bill, so she grabbed it and went to the cashier.
She looked into his eyes "that will be on the house," Compelling the cashier after giving him the bill. She walked out of the grill and remembered what Klaus said before she left. She let out a sigh, and tried to focus on that instead of the man she saw inside.
There was nobody that she was interested in around. She looked around and over in the distance Jessica spotted the man from the grill, staring at her. She was aware of that type of stare, so she got up off the bench and started walked towards to buildings. Listening behind her, she could tell someone was following her and she hoped it was that man. There was an area between two buildings that she was going to, leading him to. There was nothing in between the two buildings except for a couple of cardboard boxes and a broken broom. The closer she got, the more she thought about what she was going to do. She walked in between the buildings, knowing full well that he was still following her. They were in the middle when she stopped. She knew he followed her, but when she turned around to see if he was there, he wasn't. Jessica closed her eyes and extended her senses. He came at her from behind, but she caught him off guard, caught him by his throat, slammed him against the wall, and bared her fangs.
"Never thought a girl would do this to me." He said even though Jessica had him at the neck. He quickly forced her hand off of his neck and tossed it to the side "Don't even try," He said trying the threaten her. Her fangs had retreated before he went to punch her, she quickly stopped it. Then he punched her with his other hand in her stomach. She let go of his hand and he used it to grab her by the neck and pushed her against the wall, just as she had done to him. "I'm older than you." He said as he got in her face.
"How do you know," Jessica managed to ask you, "I could just be having a bad day."
"That is soo the reason," He kept his hand around her neck. They looked into each other's eyes, "Then why is it that the last time I saw you, you were compelling people out in the open? Older vampires aren't as obvious when it comes to that." He let go of her neck and she coughed.
"It's not my fault I'm not as old as you." She said with some attitude.
"It's not my fault that you can't fight." They were close, looking at each other's faces.
"Hey!"
"Why has a new vampire like you come to this town anyway?" He changed the subject while they stayed standing in between the two buildings.
"Change of scenery." Jessica wasn't going to tell him the truth. She didn't know if he was after Klaus or if he was just a vampire hanging out in the town. "Can I know the name of the vampire that tried to attack me?"
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" He squinted his eyes.
"Well…" Jessica glanced at the ground before looking back at him, "not really." She held back a playful smile. The man looked at her as she started to walk away. He sped to her and nobody saw them because they were still in between the two buildings. He grabbed her arm, which made her look at him.
"If you really want to know," They were looking into each other's eyes "It's Damon, Salvatore."
"Well, im Jessica." She replied to him before taking a step away "and I'd prefer it if you don't tell people you met me. I don't want to be haunted down." Jessica walked away, leaving Damon in between the buildings. Jessica looked up at the sky and saw that the light was still beating down. She sled her sunglasses from on top of her head to over her eyes and walked.
She was almost was back to the house when she remembered what Klaus has said to her. She let out a short groan because she wanted to back. She stopped and looked around to see if there was anyone near. Jessica quickly spotted a male, about her age with brown hair. She walked over with the intention to bring him back.
"Hello." She said to him.
"Hi."
"What's your name?" She was listening in, to see if he was human. Their hearts beat faster than vampires because they are living and not undead.
"I'll tell you if I can know yours." She could tell that he was trying to flirt with her.
"Jessica" She said with a smile, playing along.
"Alex."
"I like that name," they both smiled. Jessica didn't hear anyone around her. She took her sunglasses off and they looked into each other's eyes. "You will come with me and not speak a word until we get there." Jessica compelled him.
They were walking to the house that Klaus is having them stay at, when Jessica had to stop for a moment. She thought she saw someone that she's met before. She looked over towards the person. The person had long, straight brown hair. She reminded Jessica of someone, of the person that she saw yesterday…. 'Katherine' She thought. 'If you see me again and my hair isn't curly, chances are, it's not me", Katherine's voice played over in her head. 'If it's not Katherine, then who is it?' She thought, before remembering that Alex was right by her.
"Come on, let's go." She said to him as they started to walk away. Jessica looked back at the girl, who was talking to a blonde. Jessica brought her head back forward and walked towards the house once more.
Jessica got to the house, with Alex right next to her.
"We're here," Jessica whispered to Alex, making able to speak again. They were in the circular area when you first walk in, when Klaus came in. Jessica looked into Alex's eyes again "Go sit on the couch and don't say anything. Stay there till one of us tells you otherwise." Alex walked into the other room and sat on the couch, just like he was compelled to.
"Who's he?" Klaus asked.
"Does it matter? You said bring something warm, and that" She pointed to Alex "is what I assumed you meant."
Klaus smiled, "You did good, now go pick a bedroom." Jessica went upstairs, and was amazed. It was just as beautiful as the downstairs. Jessica looked around and found a room she liked. It has a view of in front of the house, a walk in closet, and its own bathroom.
Jessica went back downstairs, remembering that she didn't have her stuff. She walked down the stairs and saw that Alex wasn't in the living room anymore. She chose to ignore that and stood in the door way leading to the living room.
"I want my stuff." She told Klaus, who was sipping some wine.
"Oh, don't worry its coming." Klaus told her, turning his head towards her.
"When?"
"Soon." Jessica scoffed just before Klaus got of the chair. Jessica really isn't that much of a patient person, but she deals with it.
"I know something that we could do to make the time pass." A smile appeared on his face as he walked towards her. Smile appeared on hers as well. He put his hand on her cheek and they looked into each other's eyes. Jessica swore she saw something flicker in his eyes, but she didn't know what it was.
He brought his head closer enough to hers that their noses rubbed together. Jessica closed her eyes as she moved her mouth up against his. He parted his lips and they kissed. Jessica could feel a wave of happiness come over her body. They broke apart for air before going back in. This time it was more intense. Jessica has her hands around his waist and his were around his neck. They sped and were against a wall in seconds. They weren't against the wall that long before speeding against another wall. Jessica released a moan from pleasure as Klaus moved to her neck, kissing it. She leaned her head back as she continued to feel his lips on her neck. They could both hear the front door open so they turned their heads to the door to see Elizabeth with a somewhat shocked look on her face. Jessica's face became red as Klaus stepped away from her, giving her some space to move.
Elizabeth smile a little "Am I interrupting something?" She chuckled a little bit.
"We were just… umm…" Jessica didn't know what to say "Passing time." She finally said.
"Sure." Elizabeth said in a sarcastic way.
"Did you find what I asked you to look for?" Klaus asked Elizabeth.
"Yep."
"We'll go there tonight then." He said before turning to Jessica. "Meet me upstairs." Jessica nodded her head and walked upstairs, leaving Klaus and Elizabeth downstairs.
She went to the bedroom that she picked out and laid back onto the bed, thinking about Klaus. If Elizabeth didn't come in when she did, it could have gotten farther, she smiled at that idea. Although she didn't really like that idea to do that just to make time go by. She started to notice that the bed was soft and comfortable. Jessica started to close her eyes to relax and next think she knew, she was asleep.
I wanted to get this chapter done, so it might seem not as good as past chapters. I like it though... well.. for the most part.
I had to think while I was writing the Klessica moment because I don't really think about those when I'm writing. I'm more of writing fights, like I did back in chapter three. But I am starting to get better at writing those types of scenes.
It's going to be a while until the next Chapter, but I'm working on my other stories as well. At this point in time I'm writing more to those than this, so please be patient until I can update this again.
Let me know what you thought about the chapter... and don't forget to check the poll on my page for this story.
R&R 'till the next update.
