The Mute Lockwood
Chapter 10
A/N: thank you so so so soooo much for the reviews guy's! Means a lot! So yeah it's kind of come to Kol and Jessie meeting at the ball and I have a pretty cool idea for that and I'm running through different scenarios on how they will play it out and with her old lover being Kol there will be problems ;) so yeah but that's about two seasons away so I don't need to worry about that right now. I'm trying to get through season 1 quite quickly and I think that's going to be a little easier now that Jessie is just a "normal human" but don't worry she will have run ins with vampires especially in Season two with some "special" vampires ;) also when I do Children Of The Damned, yes there will be another episode in this chapter, Jessie will appear in the flashbacks but she won't be remembering them… Stefan or Damon will, ok? How that's clear :) now on with the story… sorry about any mistakes again.

Unpleasantville/ Children Of the Damned
Jessie looked out the window while Alaric talked about the first Global Civilization. Jessie was thinking about what happened this morning… she actually said a letter… she said the letter 'A' and kept do it so she knew that she wasn't imagining it. Jessie couldn't keep the smile off her face for the whole morning causing her friends and family to question her but she just shrugged them off. When the bell rang, Jessie got up and went to Jeremy who got his paper back and Jessie saw an 'A' written in it in red writing making her grin at her best friend. "Surprised? It's a good essay your thoughts are clear and your argument was well laid out. It's just… err… you don't actually think that there are vampires in Mystic Falls?" Alaric asked and Jessie rolled her eyes at the strange thought of vampires being in Mystic Falls but she couldn't help but feel as if she should know something… something important…
"No… no I-I think statistically there has been more animal attacks mysterious deaths, people gone missing more than any place in the whole common wealth of Virginia." Jeremy answered and Jessie frowned a little before shaking her head, "It's conjecture but creative which is why you got the A but I just wouldn't get to caught up in the conspire theory of it all." Alaric warned but with a smile. "Yeah… I won't." Jeremy said and swung his arm around Jessie's shoulders in a playful way and they began to walk away, "Oh Jeremy… the sources that you got for the 1860's info? Err Jonathan Gilbert?" Alaric asked.
Jeremy nodded. "Oh my ancestors journal?" He asked and Alaric nodded, "I'd really like to see that sometime." Alaric said.
"Really?" Jeremy asked taking his arm off Jessie and getting his bag off his shoulder, "Yeah for someone who was from the Civil War that's like porn for a history teacher." Alaric replied and Jessie laughed silently while Alaric rolled his eyes at her. Jeremy got the journal out of his bag and gave it to Alaric, "Think my essay is creative wait till you get a load of this thing. Jessie's ancestor Jessica Lockwood was mentioned in there about her being a friend with Jonathan." Jeremy stated. "Thank you." Alaric said and Jeremy put his arm around Jessie's shoulders and they walked out.
After school Megan and Jessie went to the Grill where Kyle was with his friend Jay, "Hey Jessie over here!" Kyle said and waved them over, Megan pulled Jessie over to the table and sat next to Jay while Jessie sat next to Kyle who kissed her lightly on the lips and took her hand, "So you're 15 tomorrow… happy that your birthday is on the day of the dance?" Kyle asked grinning while Jessie rolled her eyes everyone knew that Jessie hated going to these dances and it made it worse as it was on her birthday. "Don't worry my birthday present will make up for it." Kyle said grinning and kissed her again.
Megan smirked, "Guys don't fuck in a public place, Jessie I thought I taught you better." Megan scolded and Jessie and Kyle pulled away with Jessie blushing while Kyle just rolled his eyes but had a small blush on his cheeks making Jessie smile. "Am I still allowed to stay at yours tomorrow Jessie?" Megan asked and Jessie nodded her head before someone came and they ordered some food to eat.
In the morning, as Jessie came downstairs are parents and brother were sitting at the table and smiled at her, "Happy birthday sweetie," He dad said and hugged her. Jessie returned the hug smiling at him before he kissed her head then her mom came, "Happy birthday Jessie." She said grinning and hugged her daughter and then finally Tyler came and smirked at Jessie. "Happy birthday cutie, finally 15… but that doesn't mean you can drink." Tyler warned before pulling her into a bear hug and kissed her forehead. Jessie grinned at him before her parents took her over to the table where three presents were.
Her mom picked up a square package, "here you go sweetie." Her mom said and handed her the present. Jessie smiled and opened it seeing red leather bound photo book with a black clasp and she grinned at her mom and hugged her, thank you she signed happily. "There are photos of you from when you a baby then a child…" Carol said and Jessie nodded smiling at her mom. "Ok so here you go." Her dad said and handed her a smaller package and she opened it seeing a new journal making her smile and nod her head to her dad. "My turn! I think mine's the best personally," Tyler said smugly and gave her, her present she opened it and saw a new pair of track shoes she grinned at Tyler who smiled and hugged her. Thank you all so much Jessie signed grinning. Her family smiled before Tyler looked at the time, "Come on I need to get you to school otherwise Caroline will kill me." Tyler said.
When Jessie got back to school to help paint for the dance, Caroline squealed and came over hugging the life out of Jessie, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Caroline exclaimed and hugged her making Jessie roll her eyes but awkwardly hug her back before Caroline got pulled back and then Megan was hugging the life out of Jessie. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY! MY BABY GIRL IS GROWING UP!" Megan exclaimed giggling and Jessie smiled at the blondes before seeing Kyle and mouthing help to him and Kyle grinned before coming over and pulling Megan off of Jessie who breathed a silent sigh of relief.
Kyle pulled her into a hug but it was gentler than the blonde duo hugs and Jessie smiled and hugged him back, there was a flash and the two pulled away seeing Megan with her camera and dramatically crying with Caroline. "They grow up so fast," Caroline wept dramatically making Jessie rolled her eyes.
Thank you guys Jessie signed to them and they all grinned at her and handed her, her presents. "Ok come on guys we have work to do." Caroline ordered before they began to help for the dance.
When they were done Jessie and Megan got a lift with Tyler to the Lockwood estate where they began to get ready for the 50's dance. Jessie was dressed in a white strapless puffy dress that went a few inches above the knee and had a black belt under her chest; her hair was left down in her natural curls with a black headband. She also wore black pumps. Megan was wearing a cute pink puffy dress a few inches above the knee as well, with white belt also black heels and her hair was curled and a few strands were held back with pink grip. They had make-up on, even though Jessie wasn't a fan of it Megan made her, as it was her birthday, before they went downstairs and saw Tyler ready. "Lets go ladies," Tyler ordered and they both rolled their eyes before getting into his truck and he drove to the school.
When they got into the school they saw the dance in full swing and smiled to each other before finding Kyle and his friends. Kyle grinned at Jessie and hugged her before pulling her over to the punch bowl where Jeremy was, Jeremy grinned at Jessie and pulled her into a hug, "Happy birthday Jessie. Here you go," Jeremy said and handed her, her present she smiled before opening it and seeing the book of Romeo and Juliet making her grin at Jeremy who smiled back at her, "Do you like it?" Jeremy asked and Jessie nodded her head hugging him again.
"Ok see you around the dance, and have fun." Jeremy said before Kyle and Jessie went off. Kyle pulled Jessie into a corner and got something out of his pocket, "Here you go… it's not much…" Kyle stuttered and gave it to Jessie who smiled and unwrapped it seeing a small penguin on a charm bracelet making her smile before kissing him gently then pulling away and signed, it's perfect. Kyle grinned and kissed her again before getting the bracelet and putting it on her right wrist with her other bracelet that she brought somewhere…
Megan had brought Jessie a new beanie also a scarf, and a skirt while Caroline brought her new converse and Elena also got her a new beanie and Matt gave her some chocolates. Jessie was dancing with Kyle when Stefan came up behind him, "Hey Kyle mind if I cut in with the birthday girl?" Stefan asked and Kyle shrugged before kissing Jessie on the head then left before Stefan was in Kyle's place.
"You need to be careful, there's a vampire out to get Elena ok?" Stefan said seriously and Jessie frowned confused, what do you mean? Vampires aren't real Jessie mouthed slowly and Stefan seemed to freeze before cursing under his breath, "he compelled you… Err don't worry about it Jessie just those Twilight books that you gave me are getting into my head," Stefan played it off and Jessie nodded her head confused before giving him a small smile. "So err Kyle told me he got you a charm bracelet? Well me and Damon got you this for it…" Stefan said getting it out of his pocket it was a love heart charm that sparkled when the light hit it. Jessie was in awe and smiled at Stefan as he clasped the charm on before he smiled at her then frowned.
"I have to go, but have a great birthday Jessie." Stefan said before walking off. Jessie shrugged before finding Kyle and smiling at him before he took her hand and went over to the punch where Jeremy gave her a cup of punch, "I've spiked the punch but don't tell Mr. Saltzman." Jeremy said grinning and Jessie smirked before drinking and wincing at the strong vodka but drunk it.
"Everything going ok?" They heard and the three turned and saw Mr. Saltzman with Jenna. "Yeah," Kyle said, "Defiantly," Jeremy answered and Jessie nodded her head grinning. Jenna raised her eyebrows at them, "hmm… better be… happy birthday Jessie," Jenna said smiling and hugged the girl who hugged her back awkwardly before she pulled back and smiled. "Oh yeah happy birthday Jessie. Now remember to do your essay by next week guys," Alaric warned lightly before smiling and walking away with Jenna and the three teens gave a relief sigh.
"Well that was close…" Jeremy muttered smirking before they began to drink the spiked punch.
Megan, Kyle, Jessie and Jeremy were all outside on the filed with some of the spiked punch drinking and laughing the night away, "Oh yeah and this girl Anna…" Jeremy said slurring slightly, "I like she wanted to read Jonathan Gilberts journal… I mean I like her I think," He hiccupped, "She's cute and geeky and all… but I don't know my track record with girls is a little sketchy." Jeremy finished and Jessie nodded her head feeling a little regret for a reason she doesn't know before she drunk more punch.
"Hey! Let's go to the forest where we hung out as children!" Megan declared and stood up shakily making Jessie giggle silently before Megan took her hands and pulled her up and the girls ran to the parking lot looking for a car and pouted. Kyle and Jeremy shrugged before running after the girls and laughed at their pouting faces, "there's no car that we can use." Megan slurred annoyed.
Kyle grinned, "we can use my brothers car… he leaves the keys in the truck. Jessie your presents are in your brothers truck right?" Jessie nodded, "Ok then let's go to my brothers truck!" Kyle shouted and took Jessie's hand and pulled her to his brothers truck and Jessie got in the passenger seat while Kyle got in the driving seat and Megan got in the back but Jeremy was a bit reluctant. "I can't go guys… I'm on punch duty, remember?" Jeremy stated.
"You're no fun… bye!" Megan said giggling and shut the door. Jeremy rolled his eyes and walked back into the school while Kyle turned the truck on, "Do you know how to drive?" Megan asked Kyle who started off down the road, occasionally going into the other line, as he was drunk, also he didn't know how to drive. "Nope. But might as well learn, hey?" Kyle said grinning
Jessie rolled her green eyes and looked out the window feeling a bad thing in her stomach, "Woo!" Kyle cheered and drove faster but Jessie saw someone in the road. Jessie took a deep breath and started to panic and looked at Kyle in fear but he didn't notice it, "KYLE LOOK OUT!" Someone shouted, could have been Jessie, and could have been Megan no one knows until Kyle's car swerved off of Wickery Bridge and straight into the water. Jessie's head banged against the back of the chair and she groaned silently and froze feeling water at her feet and seeing it rising before she looked behind her and saw Megan passed out and Kyle waking up with a cut on his head, "Jessie? Megan? What?" Kyle asked confused before freezing at the water rising.
"Shit! Fuck this shit! Oh fuck! I'm so dead!" Kyle exclaimed before looking at Jessie then taking off his seatbelt and tried to kick the window down but they wouldn't smash, Jessie took her seatbelt off and ignored the throbbing headache and pain in her knee and began to kick the window as well feeling panicked and scared her knee groaned in protest but Jessie wouldn't stop kicking.
The water was now up to their chest and Megan still hadn't woken up, Jessie was fearing the worst when she saw someone swim up to the car door, it was the man that she spoke to before, and went to open her door but she shook her head and pointed to Megan and Kyle. He looked conflicted but she gave him a pleading look as the water was up to their necks now. "Jessie… I'm so sorry." Kyle murmured and took her hand, Jessie nodded and gave him a small smile before the back door opened and the man took Megan out before swimming to the top.
"If he comes back, he's taking you Jessie. This is my fault." Kyle said as the water was at their chins, Jessie shook her head trying to keep her head above water, "No. He's taking you Jessie." Kyle ordered, Jessie just nodded before the water came above their faces and they both took a deep breath getting as much oxygen as possible.
The mystery man came back again and pulled open Kyle's door but Kyle shook his head and pointed to Jessie but Jessie looked at the man and he nodded before he swum up the surface with Kyle. Jessie felt like crying and screaming from the agony in her knee and head but knew it would do no good. She could feel the darkness coming over and her eyes shut close just as the mystery man ripped her door off and picked her up in his arms looking at her panicked before going to the surface.

Jessie smiled at seeing Anna and ran up to hug her friend. "Hello Jessie." Anna greeted, "Hello Anna." Jessie replied and they hooked arms and walked around the gardens. "So tell me, what is of this mystery boy Jessie?" Anna questioned her friend and Jessie sighed dramatically not knowing that Original watching her again from the forest.
"You as well Anna? Dear lord, can I not be seen telling a boy to leave me alone and not have the whole town to think that we are courting?" Jessie asked smirking. Kol couldn't help but smirk as well at seeing the playful smirk on her rosy lips wanting them on his lips again.
Anna smiled at her friend, "The town talks quickly Jessie, you should know this," Anna said and Jessie sighed but nodded her head.
Tyler was at home when he got the phone call. He just heard, "Jessica Lockwood." Also, "car crash," before he dropped the phone and jumped into his car and drove all the way to the hospital demanding to see his sister, they said the room number and Tyler ran to it and got in there seeing his sister all hooked up and her face pale and sunken also a cast on her right knee.

Emily, Jessie and Anna were in the greenhouse with Katherine and Pearl, Katherine and Pearl were talking in hushed voices while the other three were looking at the flowers before Mr. Gilbert came in and nodded his head towards Jessie. "Seems like your mother has an admirer," Katherine commented smiling to Anna who smiled back and Emily and Jessie giggled.
Jessie walked out of the greenhouse and saw Stefan and Damon's father talking to them, "All you have been is disappointment." Their father said and Jessie frowned and locked eyes with Damon and he nodded slightly before she walked off and saw her father talking to George. Her father waved her over, "Yes father?" Jessie asked politely.
"You have a curfew, be home before dark rises Jessie. Do not argue," He ordered and Jessie nodded confused before she walked away.
"I'm hurt Mr. Salvatore, have you traded me for Miss. Pierce?" Jessie asked mockingly as she saw Mr. Salvatore playing crocket with Katherine. He looked up at Jessie, "Of course not Jessie. Just Miss. Pierce was free to play." He answered but Jessie rolled her eyes before walking away.
Tyler held Jessie's hand with tears in his eyes hoping that she was going to be ok. A few minutes later their mom and dad came in confused, "What happened?" Richard asked quickly and looked at his little girl lying in the hospital bed. "She was in a car accident… Kyle was driving but something happened and they went… they went over Wickery Bridge… then they all just turned up here." Tyler answered that was all that he got from nurses and doctors when they came and saw Jessie.
Richard and Carol sat down next to their daughter watching her shallow breathing carefully.
Mystic Falls 1864
Kol was angry. When Kol was angry nothing good ever came from that. He was angry because some bloody farm owner decided that he wanted to court Jessie, his Jessie Lockwood. And Kol was having none of that.
At nightfall, he went up to her bedchamber and saw her taking all the grips out of her hair so it fell in her perfect ringlets, Kol smiled to himself as she started to get undress but froze. "I know you're there Mr. Mikealson." She said softly and Kol appeared behind her and began to undo her corset like before and she wasn't stopping him, "You have an excellent ear, Miss. Lockwood." Kol murmured softly as his fingers trailed over the thing fabric underneath her corset.
"Thank you Mr. Mikealson," Jessie replied and took the corset off before picking up her silk nightgown and looked at Kol expectantly, he raised an eyebrow, "Really? It's not like anything that I haven't seen before, love." Kol said smirking and Jessie blushed making his smirk grow before he turned around dramatically and she smiled before taking off her dress then slipping on her nightgown and walked behind Kol and tapped him on the shoulder. "You're done? Fantastic." He said smirking before picking her up and throwing her onto her bed with Jessie giving a small squeal and he smirked and appeared right on top of her.
"What are you?" Jessie asked softly as she ran her fingers down his white button up shirt, "A vampire, love." Kol whispered and Jessie nodded her head before he leaned forward. "And I'm angry, darling… you see some pathetic farmer boy believes that he can take what's mine. And that just doesn't suit well with me, sweetheart. So this is how it's going to go, we're telling your father that we are courting then you move away to England with me and see my family." Kol said sweetly and Jessie raised an eyebrow and scoffed making him confused. "And what makes you think that I'll agree?" Jessie asked. "I'm a vampire love, I can easily compel you also you're mine." Kol said possessively and Jessie rolled her eyes at him being possessive.
"Hi I'm Doctor Keen, Jessica was involved in a car accident with Kyle Carter and Megan Forbes. Jessie seemed to have the most injures as she had taken in the most water. She has a broken kneecap, which will heal in about 6 weeks then we will be doing some physio to help get back the muscle. There was a head injury, luckily there wasn't any bleeding, but a concussion but Jessie had fainted so she has gone into a coma." Carol gasped and Richard held her close while Tyler just kept looking at his sister, "We're sure that she will wake up from it. It's just a traumatic experience and her brain needs so time to heal," The Doctor said. "How long will she be in the… coma for?" Richard asked. "We're not sure." The Doctor answered before going to leave. "How are Kyle and Megan?" Richard asked as his wife sat down with tears coming down her cheeks.
"Kyle just has a small concussion and will be staying over night, Megan seemed to have gotten a small fracture to the wrist and we placed a cast over it also we're keeping her in overnight just in case of a concussion. Their guardians are here. The police will be involved tomorrow and they will need to question Jessie when she wakes up. That's if she remembers." The Doctor replied. "What do you mean if?" Tyler asked annoyed. "There was a knock to the head… the brain is very fragile, but there could have been some memory lost." The Doctor replied before leaving the family.

"What's happening? Father, brother what is going on outside of these walls?" Jessie asked confused hearing gunshots and shouts from outside.
Her father looked at her, then at his son before the father and son nodded to each other and George went over to his sister, "Sister, you're going to stay with a friend of ours. He will look after you. Remember I love you." George said, "I love you sweetie, but Mystic Falls isn't safe anymore… he will look after you. Ah there he is now, go with him and don't disobey Jessie." Her father ordered and Jessie looked at the man who had dark brown hair and was very handsome with a playful smirk on his face, "Hello, love. I'm Kol Mikealson and I believe that you are coming to stay in England with my family and I. Don't be afraid, it'll be fun."
