History Repeating
Jessie put her earphones into her ears before taking off in a gentle run going into the woods. She liked to run to clear her thoughts also its good to take a run in the mornings where she can think and not be disturbed. She jumped over a log that was in her path and ducked under a branch before coming into a small clearing where she ran through it going back into the trees. Recently, when Jessie coughs a little she hears a noise she thinks that its just her imagination but it's strange as she feels like she is actually making the noise which is weird as she is a mute. Jessie tries not to dwell on her getting a voice, before she came back to the Lockwood estate. It was around 6am so she went upstairs and got a shower before changing into dark wash skinny jeans with a long sleeve cherry tee also a black leather jacket. She tied her hair into her braid with her fringe over her right eye before getting a cherry beanie and plonking it onto her head and brushing her teeth before grabbing her bag and phone then going downstairs seeing her dad making coffee.
"Hey sweetie, here you go." Richard said and handed her a cup of coffee, which Jessie smiled at and drunk out of it while she put bread in the toaster. "Do you have track after school?" Richard asked a Jessie spread chocolate spread on her toast and she nodded her head before taking a bite out of her toast and Tyler came downstairs and took Jessie's coffee.
"Come on cutie lets go," Tyler said calling her by her childhood nickname. Jessie raised an eyebrow but shrugged nothing the less and kissed her dads cheek before they young Lockwood's left and got into Tyler's truck.
They drove to school, and got there just as the bell rang, "Ok text me when track is finished yeah?" Tyler asked and Jessie nodded her head before getting out and heading to her locker getting out her English folder before heading to English. She sat down next to Jeremy and noticed that Megan wasn't here yet.
Jessie frowned before looking at Jeremy and signed where's Megan? Jeremy shrugged and frowned as well before getting his phone out and probably texting her. Jessie looked to the front as Mr Cole began to teach. She felt a tap on her shoulder and looked over to her left and Jeremy was holding his phone out, she took it and read the text messages.
Where r u? x –Jeremy
L8 slept in x –Megan
Jessie smirked but nodded her head giving his phone back, "Miss. Lockwood and Mr Gilbert am I interrupting something?" Mr Cole asked and Jessie shook her head while Jeremy answered, "I was jut showing Jessie what we were doing as she was a little confused Sir," Jeremy lied easily. The teacher believed it before rolling his eyes and turning back and lecturing everyone again while Jessie and Jeremy smirked at each other.
After class Jeremy and Jessie got up and went towards their next lesson, "hey I have to see the new history teacher at lunch, come with me?" Jeremy asked as he dropped Jessie off at her biology class, Jessie nodded her head smiling before Jeremy left and went to a different biology class.
Half way through the lesson and Jessie thinking about when Damon had compelled Jeremy, Jeremy had been acting differently, Megan came in with a flushed face. "Sorry I'm late Miss," Megan apologized and gave the teacher a note who just waved her off and went back to reading her magazine while everyone else talked.
Jessie raised an eyebrow at the blonde who blushed before she sat down next to Jessie on their bench in the back next to the window where Jessie normally looked out of, "You know Jason McDonald?" Megan asked grinning. Jessie nodded her head, he was on the football team and was friends with Tyler, "Well… last night we hooked up at his place and he asked me to be his girlfriend!" Megan squealed and Jessie rolled her eyes at her friend.
Megan carried on talking to Jessie about Jason for the rest of the lesson while Jessie listened and nodded her head occasionally before it was time to go.
At lunch Jeremy found Jessie walking the hallways with her boyfriend Kyle, Jeremy went over to them and Jessie spotted him before waving bye to Kyle who kissed her on the lips quickly and Jessie walked over to Jeremy. "Come on lets go, before you think about fucking Carter in the middle of the hallways," Jeremy smirked before Jessie whacked his head and he grumbled under his breath, "what is with you and whacking my head."
They went to the new teachers room and Jeremy looked at Jessie a little worried before she pushed him in smirking, "Hey Mr Saltzman I'm err Jeremy Gilbert, you wanted to see me." Jeremy said outside the door. Jessie got a good look of the new teacher that she was having next lesson and shrugged, pretty good looking for someone about 30.
Mr Saltzman make a gesture with his hand for them to come in, and Jessie was going to wait outside but Jeremy took her hand pulling her in, "You know that your old teacher had a jackass file, no joke." He said and Jessie and Jeremy sat on one of the desks as he talked, "It's err typed on a label and has all the troublemakers in it," He said and Jeremy looked at Jessie.
"Well your not in that then," He said to her smirking while she gently hit his arm smiling before looking back at Mr Saltzman.
"But really its just an file, for you," He said flicking through it making Jessie smirk at Jeremy who rolled his eyes at her. Mr Saltzman laughed and got up, "don't worry about it," Before he threw the file away making Jessie frown confused, "I'm not him. Clean slate. Now… lets talk about grades." H said sitting on his desk and Jessie looked at Jeremy knowing that his grades were to put it lightly… crap.
"I know it's been a rough couple of months and I've been trying to turn them around," Jeremy answered. Because Damon took away your suffering Jessie thought dryly.
"I know… I saw that but the problem is, is that we're half way through a semester and half a fail is still pretty bleak." He answered. "This is the part of it where you say to me, what can I do to change that?" Jessie couldn't help but roll her eyes at that, "Glad you asked." He said and Jessie and Jeremy both smiled.
"How do you feel about extra credit?" Mr Saltzman asked, "Yeah, yeah totally whatever." Jeremy answered.
"Good write me a paper then." Mr Saltzman answered
"Okay… what about?" Jeremy replied. "History. Pick a topic, keep it local and no Wikipedia registrar. These old towns have a lot of rich history, so just get your hands dirty, make it sane and get back on track." Mr Saltzman said and Jeremy nodded his head, "Deal?"
"Yeah, yeah deal," He said and shook hands with him and Jessie got off the desk and picked up her bag, "That's a err cool ring." Jeremy said pointing out the big ring on his finger.
Jessie frowned slightly but didn't notice the stone that vampires used so she breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks it's my fathers, little garish but family. You know? You've got a week." Mr Saltzman said before Jessie and Jeremy left.
"Well he seems like a cool teacher… come on lets go get some lunch." Jeremy said and took Jessie by the shoulders and guided her towards the canteen where they brought something to eat. Jessie and Jeremy went and made with towards where Megan was sitting talking to Kyle, Jessie sat next to Kyle who grinned and kissed her lips softly before pulling back so she could eat her sandwich.
"Jessie can I stay over tonight? Don't want to face Liz." Megan groaned and Jessie smirked before nodding her head and eating her a grape. "Yay thank you!" Megan giggled before going back to texting on her phone while Jeremy talked to Kyle and Jessie ate her lunch.
Megan and Jessie walked to history with Kyle and Jeremy following behind them, Jessie looked at Megan before signing to her I have track later after school so what you going to do until I finish? Megan thought about it, "Track is like 1 and a half right?" Megan asked and Jessie nodded her head.
"So you'll be finished by 4:30 ish… I can go to my house with C and get my clothes because Liz doesn't get back till 6 then you can pick me up?" Megan finished and Jessie nodded her head smiling before the four teens went into History seeing the new teacher there.
"Hey I'm Alaric Saltzman but you guys can call me Ric." He introduced.
After school, Jessie went straight to the changing rooms and changed into her shorts with a tank and a black hoodie also put her hair into a ponytail before running outside and seeing her friends gathered together in a circle. She made her way over there and waved at them and they waved back before Lucy froze then smirked, "whoa… look at the new track coach…" Lucy said and Jessie turned and saw a well-built man maybe in early twenties. He had honey blonde hair with blue eyes and was tanned.
"Looks like he just came off a beach from California," A girl called Nicki said and Jessie smirked before the new Coach introduced himself.
"Hey I'm Coach Smith but you guys can call me Ryan. I'm your new track coach, so were going to do some warm-ups before heading for the 60 minute run. Any questions?" When no one raised their hands or asked any questions he carried on, "Great. Alright then, lets start." He ordered and the 20 girls on the team began to do their warm ups.
After their 30-minute warm ups, "Ok so long distance runners with Jay then sprinters with me." Coach Ryan said and Lucy and Jessie also the other 8 girls made their way over to Jay who grinned at the girls while the other 10 made their way over to Coach Ryan.
"Hey Jay," Lucy said, "Hey Lucy, hey Jessie. Ok girls, you guys ready? Get into positions and remember to do as many laps as you can and if you need to pull out just pull out. Ready? On your marks… get set… go!" He blew the whistle and they were off.
Jessie started in a soft jog to begin with and cleared her mind of all thoughts and concentrated on just running not seeing the man in the trees watching her with a small smile on his face.
After 60 minutes Jessie had done 32 laps, they did a cool down afterwards so they weren't sore in the morning before the Coach dismissed them and they went to the changing rooms with the girls chattering away about the new coach. Not bothering to get a shower Jessie just changed back into her clothes and put her track clothes in her bag as well as her beanie before texting Tyler to pick her up.
Jessie waited outside of school for her brother, not noticing her surroundings so she jumped when she heard a voice. "Hello there," Jessie turned and saw the man from the night of the comet standing right next to her. Jessie took an unconscious step back, which he noticed, and looked at him confused before giving an awkward wave and he smiled.
"You're Jessica right? Jessica Lockwood." The man stated and Jessie frowned confused as to how he knew her but before she could do anything her brothers truck pulled up and she smiled at Tyler before turning back to the suit man but discovered that he was not there. She bit her lip wondering where he went before getting into Tyler's car.
Need to pick Megan up she's staying over Jessie signed to Tyler who nodded and pulled out of the parking lot and drove to Megan and Caroline's house. Jessie texted Megan top tell her to come outside, "Want to eat dinner at The Grill tonight? Mom and dad are out something to do with the council or something." Tyler asked.
So much for family bonding Jessie thought before turning to Tyler and nodding her head before Megan got into the car. "Ok drive Lockwood before Liz gets here! Go! Go! Go!" Megan ordered and Tyler chuckled before driving and going to the Lockwood estate.
When they got there Megan and Jessie went to Jessie's room, getting a shower then were going to The Grill Jessie signed to Megan who nodded her head and Jessie went to the shower and got another shower before coming back out in fresh clothes of a pair of dark grey skinny jeans and a tank underneath a grey hoodie. Jessie left her hair down to dry before she grabbed her phone and Megan and Jessie went back downstairs before Tyler drove them all to The Grill.
"Ok so what do you two twits want?" Tyler asked as they sat down. "Lovely to see you too Tyler," Megan said sarcastically while Tyler rolled his eyes and Jessie smirked.
Chicken burger and fries Jessie signed to Tyler who nodded before Megan told him her order and then he went to order it.
"Oh look at Mr Saltzman and Jenna getting it on," Megan said gesturing to the two adults. Jessie rolled her eyes but grinned at Megan as the two girls watched while getting some blackmail to use on the two adults.
"Whoa wait? Mr Saltzman was married? Holy cheese." Megan gasped dramatically making Jessie giggle silently before Tyler came back over with their drinks and a waiter came over with their food.
When they finished Jessie's phone went off she frowned before picking it up.
"Jessie it's Elena, Emily Bennett is in Bonnie's body come to my house now please. I know that Megan is staying with you but Care can drop her off." Elena said before hanging up. Jessie frowned before signing to Tyler, take me to Elena's house please?
Tyler frowned but nodded his head and drove to her house just as Caroline was coming out, Jessie got out and Caroline saw Megan and frowned, "Megan come on my mom was worried last night she needs to make sure you're ok. Come on were going home," Caroline said. Megan frowned and pouted, "but I was going to stay at Jessie's…" She whined making Jessie roll her eyes.
"Jessie can bring your clothes over tomorrow," Caroline urged before the blondes got into the car and drove away, Jessie signed to Tyler, Elena will drop me off later don't wait up before she ran into Elena's house not caring if he didn't want her to go or what.
Elena was on the phone and Jessie guessed that it was Stefan, "It's Bonnie." … "Emily is possessing her. She said something."… "She I won't let him have it, it must be destroyed and then she just left!"… ""I don't know… Fells Church… by the old cemetery that's where she took Bonnie in her dreams. We have to help her Stefan." … before Elena hung up.
Jessie raised an eyebrow at Elena but Elena took Jessie's hand and dragged her upstairs to her room.
"You know Bonnie is a witch… right?" Elena asked and Jessie nodded her head and Elena let out a breath. "She's been having weird dreams and she always wakes up in the Fells Church, with her ancestor Emily Bennett." Jessie remember Emily from her memories… "But now we were calling out to the spirits, Emily, and the candles went all funny then the window opened and when Bonnie threw the necklace onto the ground the lights all went out and then the necklace moved. It went to the bathroom, Bonnie went to get it but the doors closed and she got locked in Caroline and I were freaking out trying to get the doors opened and when they did open it was like Bonnie wasn't her… she wasn't even freaked out about what happened and now I know why. Emily is possessing her for some unknown reason, but Bonnie isn't Bonnie right now, Jessie." Elena explained and Jessie stood there frozen before tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear and giving a silent sigh trying not to freak out.
I'm sure that Bonnie will be fine Elena, Stefan is going to help her out ok? Bonnie will be back to her normal fun loving self soon Jessie signed to the elder girl who nodded and ran a hand through her hair before she froze and looked at Jessie. "Come on," Elena said and she ran downstairs, Jessie frowned before running downstairs as well and going out the front and saw Elena getting into her car. Jessie got into the car as well and sat patiently as Elena drove, probably to the Fells Church. They stopped and got out before running when they saw fire, "Bonnie!" Elena shouted and went to get her but Stefan held her back.
"No!" Damon exclaimed and Jessie froze confused before seeing the necklace thrown up and blasting the necklace up making small sparks before the fire died down.
Jessie looked at Damon as he was staring at Bonnie intently, before he suddenly lunged for her, and Bonnie screamed as Damon sunk his teeth into her neck. Jessie's hand went to cover her mouth before she picked up a stone and threw it at Damon's head but it did nothing until Stefan came and pushed Damon back.
Jessie went over to Bonnie as she lay on the floor and watched as Stefan held his ear up to her face to see if she was breathing. Jessie looked up and glared at Damon who glared back at her before looking back at Bonnie, "She's alive but barely. I can save her." Stefan said and bit into his wrist before holding it to her mouth as she gulped down the blood.
Jessie and Elena watched as the neck healed, "Her neck… it's healing." Elena breathed out.
Jessie gave a silent sigh before running a hand through her hair before Stefan took Bonnie to Elena's car and Jessie looked at Damon and saw him looking upset making her feel bad before she turned and walked away with Elena.
"I don't understand Elena, Jessie. He attacked me… his face was like." Bonnie said, Jessie bit her lip, "How do you feel? Are you ok?" Elena asked her instead.
"Fine it's just this blood… I don't…" She stopped looking up and seeing Stefan come towards them.
"I'm not going to hurt you." Stefan said and Jessie looked at him and he nodded to her before Jessie looked back at Bonnie, "what's going on you two?" Bonnie asked.
"Look I'll explain everything… ok Bonnie? Let's just get out of here." Elena said softly. Bonnie looked at Stefan with fear but he just nodded his head, "Bonnie… Bonnie look at me… trust Jessie and I. He's not going to hurt you," Elena promised and Jessie nodded her head in agreement when Bonnie looked at her. "Come on, come on." Elena said and guided her to the car where Jessie nodded her head to Stefan before she got into the car as well and gave a small smile to Bonnie who was crying.
"Do you know… do you know as well?" Bonnie asked. Jessie nodded her head weakly and Bonnie nodded as well. Jessie saw Elena crying and frowned before seeing Stefan look at her in the eye and signed sorry before he walked away with Elena calling after him. Elena got into the car with tears coming down her face but said nothing, "you want to stay over Jessie?" Elena asked weakly but Jessie shook her head giving her a small smile. Elena nodded before driving Jessie back to the Lockwood estate, Jessie got out and gave the older girls a small wave biting her lip before going in and up to her room closing the door.
She changed into her pyjamas quickly and grabbed her journal.
Dear Journal, why can't we just have one normal day? Just one normal day in Mystic Falls without havoc being caused in it? Today there was a new teacher, Mr Saltzman or Ric he seems pretty cool I guess also there's a new Coach for track he's handsome I guess… but today Emily Bennett possessed Bonnie and Bonnie/Emily destroyed a necklace that meant something to Damon I guess but I don't know. Bonnie is going to be told everything meaning the vampires because Damon bit her what a douche. Stefan is leaving because of Damon… everything seems to be happening because of Damon though I just don't get why that guy wants to ruin anything good in peoples lives? It could be because he was lonely… but still you don't stop being lonely by making everyone else lonely.
When she was finished writing in her journal, she put it away before climbing under the covers and falling asleep.
Mystic Falls 1864
Kol watched from a distance as Jessie sword fight with that Salvatore. He smirked when she jabbed the sword lightly into his chest while the Salvatore chuckled. "Well done Jessie. That's enough for one day, your brother, George, will have my head if I were or hurt you or he to find out that I have been teaching you how to sword fight. Jessie sighed pouting, "Fine Stefan. Are you going to drool over that Pierce again?" Jessie asked with a slight smirk on her face.
Stefan smiled at the younger girl but shrugged, "she is beautiful Jessie. When I'm with her… time stops Jessie." Stefan said dreamily making Jessie smiled before a smirk was on her face again. "Is Stefan Salvatore in love? With the women that also holds his brothers interest? What shall become of this?" Jessie gasped dramatically making Kol chuckle while Stefan rolled his green eyes at his friend.
"Hmm… don't think that I didn't see that man that was trailing after you last night at the ball Jessie. Who was he?" Stefan asked and Jessie rolled her eyes but Kol caught a faint blush rose onto her cheeks that the human eye wouldn't catch, making his smirk grow.
"Oh him? He's just a petty boy Stefan. He was following me around like a loss puppy," Jessie said smirking and Kol frowned before growling a little, I was not a puppy he thought snidely.
"Has he caught my friends eye?" Stefan asked as they came towards the Salvatore house. Jessie smiled softly before shrugging, "That, my dear friend, is for me to know and for you to dot, dot, dot." Jessie said smiling. Stefan shook his head, "you have been spending too much time with Damon." He mumbled. Jessie grinned before going into the house.
