I have a little something in store for when Nicklause arrives ;) he is also one of my favorite characters, along with Enzo... ahh, I'm so thankful for my British accent that goes so well for the men of my country :) Later in the story i will drop a hint for something you must look out for with Azz. I'm sorry for my little intro being a little so i wont keep you any longer... Enjoy! :)
Jessie's POV:
I woke up to someone shoving me to wake me up and making me groan in annoyance.
"JESS?!" I pulled the pillow over my head only for it to be ripped off me. "Get out I need to get dressed." I groaned.
"Stupid brother." I mumbled under my breath so he wouldn't hear.
"What was that?"
"Nothing." I waved him off as I walked into my bedroom across the hall and flopped onto my bed.
"ugh! Not happening." I said into the pillow hearing my phone ring.
"What?" I spat.
"Well good morning to you too sweetie." Damon answered sarcastically, as per usual.
"It would be if you were here with me."
"I am here." I turned to my bedroom door hearing a knock so I put the phone down. "Room service." I heard before he popped his head around my door.
He smirked placing a grapefruit and orange juice onto the bedside table next to me before lying down next to me allowing me to cuddle closer to him.
"No freezing cold shower this morning?" I grumbled.
"Not much of a morning person are you." He kissed the top of my head.
"Jess! Come on!" Jeremy yelled upstairs to me.
"Tell them I'm ill." I begged Damon and he eyed me questionably before leaving and shooting back to me.
"You ok?" he questioned.
"Tired. Hold me." I said groggily and he happily did exactly that.
"So what'd you do last night?" he asked to me, wrapping his arm around my waist.
"Video games, drew a little with Jeremy, ate pizza and we drank all the bourbon." I listed remembering as we got Elena to pay for the pizza, she didn't even have any, she's so dumb.
"No wonder you're tired. You draw?" he looked down at me and I nodded in response.
"Only a little. Not much of a passion though, I prefer painting." I noted to him, how can I be with someone who barely knows me?
"We should go on a date." I announced as I leaned up a little from his chest.
"And where would I have the pleasure to accompany you Miss Gilbert?" he asked looking down at me and I smiled warmly.
"Is this what you were like back in the 1800's?" I asked sweetly.
"Mmm, well I was in the war for a while so-"
"You were in the war?" I asked in amusement.
"mmhmm." He hummed in reply.
Third person POV:
"Now you're even hotter." His hand moved from the small of her back don't to her ass where it rested.
"Really? You like a guy in uniform, hu?" he juggled his eyebrows and she giggled.
"Well I think it's hot that you used a gun and fought for our country in honour, it's sexy." She leaned up more and kissed him before he had the time to smirk and he pulled her closer to his body but he moaned in disappointment when she pulled from the kiss.
"Do you miss it? Being human."
"You know, I used to miss being human, now I can't think of anything more miserable in the world." He looked away as he said this but soon turned back to face her and sighed as he watched her deep in thought.
"I hope your right. Damon, when we went to Georgia, Bree said something…" she trailed off and he raised his brow.
"What'd she say to you?" he questioned in worry.
"She said I'm a… walking voodoo doll or something. She stopped talking before you came back to the bar. She said she sensed me before I got there, my power." She sighed. "It's probably nothing but, I just thought I'd tell you."
"Jessie this is something; you can't just ignore it. Listen, today I want you to go to Sheila Benet and I want you to ask her what Bree was talking about, if she can sense it then surely Sheila can too. I don't want anything bad to happen. If she said something about you, you hav-" his rant was cut off as Jessie began to talk,
"Damon calm down. I will ok? Just stop freaking about It." he sighed lightly moved her onto her side of the bed. "You in a mood with me now?" she asked annoyed as he stood up.
"No. I gotta go do something, I won't be long and I'll text you soon, ok?" he kissed the top of her head and left before letting her get a word in.
Damon's POV:
This is not good. I had always thought Jessie's blood smelt sweeter and tasted more intoxicating than others but I just thought she had some kind of rare blood type, well technically she has.
I raided a couple of Stefan's journals while he was at school, only to try and find anything on wound powers or whatever. I stopped; realizing I wouldn't find anything in his journals so I decided to question Bonnie or Azz, whoever I see first.
Jessie's POV:
I did exactly as Damon asked me to and visited Azz's grams. I didn't usually speak to her much unless I picked Azz up and I stayed for a cup of herbal tea sometimes. We get along but she's just not someone I see regularly.
I knocked on the door and waited until it was answered. I stood patiently and anxiously until she opened the door. I needed to be careful on what I say because I didn't want to drop Azz or Bonnie in it about them telling me and Lena about them being witches.
"I was wondering when you were going to show." She informed me and a confused expression crossed over my face, I'm sure of it. She led me into the living room where we sat on the sofa with some herbal tea like always. "So, tell me, did you find out about your powers yet?" yup, she knows.
"That's the thing, I have no idea what I am or what my powers are." I stressed worriedly and she placed a comforting hand on my knee.
"You are powerful, but it's nothing I can help you with." She shrugged it off and I placed the tea she had made for me onto the table. "Now would you like me to tell you what you are or would you like me to show you?"
"Tell me because I don't want to hurt you or anyone else."
"That's the beauty of it, you won't." She took an atheme from a bookcase that lay a short distance away from us and I gasped when she made a fine slice in her hand.
"Focus, close your eyes. Trust me" and I did as she said still worried a little reluctant and worried as to what she was doing,
"good. Now imagine the cut to be on your hand and not mine. Think of how it might feel against your skin, the feel of the athema slicing into your hand." I winced and immediately drew my eyes open to see a cut on my hand.
"Did you do this?" I asked not realising her wound was gone. She shook her head and held her hands out and I saw as the cut in her hand was completely gone. "What? Th-thi-this isn't ri-right!" I shook my head as I stared at the wound in fear.
"Honey, this is a gift. Acknowledge it and use it to help the ones that you love if they ever get hurt. You don't have to transfer the wound to you, it can be anybody. If you're hurt you can transfer it to someone else, but you must be careful with this, you don't want it getting out of control" I nodded at the incredible information she'd just given me.
"So I'm what, a walking, talking voodoo doll?" I asked still a little freaked to be completely honest.
"you have the ability to self-inflict wounds and pain to anyone you desire without feeling it or becoming injured yourself, note that if no one is around then your power can be rendered useless. Try it." she gestured to my hand as she took a seat next to me.
"I won't do that to you." I stressed and she nodded.
"Then do it someone you know will be healed quickly." She hinted, she knew I knew about vampires.
Wow; mouthful much?
I nodded.
"Close your eyes, send your pain to that person, imagine it on their body." I did as she asked and soon the wound was completely gone from my hand. I quickly picked up my phone and excused myself from Sheila's presence.
"Are you ok? Are you hurt?" I rambled quickly,
"What yeh I'm fine, how'd you know something happened to me? I did just get a cut from absolutely nothing which I'm kinda freaked about that I'm guessing you already knew."
"Don't be, listen I'll explain later, just meet me at the grill." I put the phone down and picked up my bag from the floor.
"Did it work?" a voice sounded behind me and I turned to face the wise woman before me and nodded.
"Yeh. I just- what if I can't control it and I end up with everyone's wounds?" I laughed nervously and she took my hand in hers.
"You won't. Come back to me whenever you get worried and I'll help you. Soon you won't even need to imagine anything, I'll help you gain control." I nodded and hugged her tightly,
"Thank you." I breathed and she patted my back.
"No problem. You need anything at all, I'm here." I nodded again as we pulled from the hug and I went to go meet Damon at the grill.
Damon's POV:
"What do you want from me?" the little witch replied sternly looking bored of the conversation already.
"I think we need a fresh start." I smiled down at her but it didn't faze her.
"You tried to kill Me." she crossed her arms and glared at me.
"But I didn't, and if I wanted to, I would have. Does that not count for anything?" I asked sweetly.
"You know, I can start fires with my mind. Fires kill vampires, right?"
cocky comment there Benet, not wise.
"You wouldn't want to break Jessie's heart now would you?" I challenged and she gave no answer, just as I thought.
"Just stay the hell away from me." she sat back and a guy showed up next to us.
"Everything ok over here?" he interfered.
"Yeah, we're fine." I replied, this is none of his business.
"I wasn't talkin' to you." I looked back and forth between the two and walked away, defeated unfortunately.
I guess Azz would help me I have a better chance with him, he's gay not to mention that Jess is his best friend too.
Jessie's POV:
As soon as I walked into the grill I watched Damon walk from Bonnie and Ben, the guy from behind the bar. All of a sudden my phone began to ring and I picked it up after looking at the caller ID,
"Where the hell have you been?!" I heard a scream come from the other end of the phone.
"Oh, my god Azz, I'm so sorry. I went on a road trip with Damon and-"
"And you forgot to tell me? Shopping tonight for the decade dance tomorrow night." He put the phone down and I turned ad hit a very hard chest that I know to be no other than Damon's. His hands steadied me as I wobbled a little on my feet.
"Sorry. So what'd Sheila say?" he urged.
"Um, hi to you to." I sighed and rand my hands along his chest. "We may need to go to the boarding house to talk." He nodded and grabbed my hand before pulling me to the car quickly, but gently.
I explained all about the crazy power shit to them as we sat in the parlour.
"Wait your saying you're a living voodoo doll?" Is all Stefan asked as me and Damon sat opposite him.
"Yup. Watch, this might sting a little." I picked up a letter opener from the table in front of us that sat in the parlour and held it to my hand.
"Jessie what are y-"Damon asked in concern and tried to take the silver opener from me but I cut him off and held the letter opener form his reach.
"Just trust me." I sliced open my hand and closed my eyes and focused like Sheila told me to.
"ouch." Stefan winged a little and Damon held my hand out to inspect it.
"It's gone." He looked at me in amazement.
"And you couldn't have done this to him? It takes longer for me to heal." He motioned towards Damon.
"I know, I'm sorry but I did it to Damon earlier." I turned to Damon and gave him a 'sorry' face which includes big eyes and all sincerity.
"That's what that was?" he looked down at his hand and clutched it before releasing it, looking baffled.
"Well I needed someone who could handle it and is tough and strong…" I flattered sweetly.
"Flattery, I like it." he leaned down and kissed me until Stefan spoke up.
"Guys, can we please stay on topic here?" I nodded to his request.
"Good. Jessie I think you should go tell Elena and I think she needs to talk to you too." I nodded and kissed Damon one last time before leaving.
Damon's POV:
"This is big Damon." I sighed and stood before heading straight for the bourbon as soon as his mouth opened.
"You don't think I know that. I'm happy that she can defend herself actually." I shrugged.
"I'm just saying, it's a good job Sheila Benet is helping her otherwise she could end up with every injury that lies on every person in this town." I gave no response I just gave a small smile before downing my drink knowing he's right.
Jessie's POV:
I sat at home after just talking to Elena 20 minutes ago. It came a surprise to me but in a way, I knew that something deep down didn't connect us in that 'sisterly-bond' way.
I didn't tell Elena about my weird new discovery, now's not the right time.
I was pulled out of thought when the doorbell rang and then Azz came strolling in with a huge grin as he pushed Elena out of his way, making her stumble.
He embraced me in a hug and I'm pretty sure my head almost popped off.
"God, I've missed you. I've had no one to dress up!" he yelled and pulled away. "Let's go! Bye Lena." He yelled pulling me out of the door and I gave Elena a sorry look before blowing her a kiss.
"And you're dealing?" Azz asked after I just explained that Elena is adopted.
"Well, yeh. Maybe it explains why were never so close, you know?" he nodded and held out a dress that looked like what Sandie would wear from grease.
"Defiantly not! Can't I go rockabilly or something?" I asked holding out a blue dress with red roses and an open back.
"Too tacky." He shook his head and handed me a red ¾ sleeve jumper along with a pair of tweed, black and white Balmain pants. I nodded looking at it and noticing it's something I would be obliged to wear.
"What about you, hu?" I asked from inside the fitting rooms.
"Well I was thinking a kind of nerdy look, or something." I nodded at his idea, knowing he couldn't see me.
I walked out in the little clothing and he clapped,
"perfect!" I jumped at his loud voice as he ran over to a pair of red, suede, court shoes and some typical red cat-eye glasses.
"Here, try it with these. I'm thinking maybe 'Veronica lake waves' for your hair?" I nodded at his opinion. Wow I looked great! Very 50's I must say.
"Ok, sure." I grinned happy with the idea.
I thought it best not to tell Azz about me being a voodoo doll or whatever it is that I am. I wonder how he'd react. I haven't learned that much about it yet but Sheila said she'd help me and for that I'm entirely grateful to her.
We sat in the grill for a little while and ate until Tyler unexpectedly came and sat next to me as we finished talking about all the latest news from school, which still about how much of a slut Jessica James is, not a surprise.
"Hey!" he shouted and sat next to me and gave me a side hug.
"Hey, how's everything?" I turned my attention the Lockwood boy next to me. Lockwood boy is something I've always called him as a little joke.
"Fine. Although my dad's still being a dick." He chuckled. "Missed you." He smiled.
"Missed you too." I replied simply with a smile to match his. "So what you guys been up to?"
"Nothing much. I've drew some more, hung with Matt and Azz, nothing out of the norm." He shrugged.
"Aren't you two fun?" I grumbled.
"Well there weren't much to do while you were gone, taking the fun with you." I chuckled at Azz's response, I was always the one to make ideas of what to do in the weekends for us all.
"So any new girls on the scene?" I nudged Tyler and winked at him and he laughed at my actions.
"No, still waiting for my chance with you." He flirted and I rolled my eyes before hitting his arm, making him rub it a little.
"I hate to say it, but I'm going to leave the two of you, unfortunately. You gonna be able to catch a lift off Tyler?" I asked azz and they both nodded.
"What, why?" Tyler asked in annoyance.
"Cause I've got to go get some clothes and everything for tomorrow, I'm gonna spend the night at the boarding house."
"Remind me to give Damon an earful of taking you from us." Azz retorted and I laughed lightly before waving to them.
"Bye guys." I left smiling hearing them shout a couple 'bye's' and 'love you's'
I drove home to grab some underwear and clothes for tomorrow, I didn't bother with pyjamas, I don't really wear them when I'm with Damon anyway, I mostly slept in my underwear around him unless I was naked... which was most of the time.
"Hey Stef, Damon here?" I asked as soon as I walked into the boarding house.
"Umm, yeh h-"
"Ok tell him I'm upstairs." I ran up to Damon's room where I spent most of the time in the house other than the parlour.
"Umm, sure." I heard him shout but I didn't pay too much attention.
Stefan's POV:
I was reading peacefully until Jessie came walking in without a care. She's so beautiful and I admire everything about her, her positive thinking, her confidence, the way she feels comfortable enough to do what she likes...
What am I doing? I can't think these things, I'm dating her sister!
I quickly walked into the basement where Damon was sucking on a blood bag,
"Jessie's here." I notified and he looked up at me with a smug smirk.
"If you wanted some just ask." He tilted the bag towards me but the blood wasn't the only thing in this house I wanted. I walked from Damon and continued to read, not like it took my mind off her though.
Damon's POV:
I knew Jessie was here, how could I not notice the incredible scent of her enticing blood?
I walked to where she was most likely to be and sure enough she was on her phone as she lay in my bed.
"I'm guessing we're here tonight?" I gestured towards her bag and she nodded. I laid myself next to her and put my hands behind my head as I watched her amuse herself with her phone.
"just when I think the blood bag satisfied my hunger…" I sighed and Jess spoke up,
"all you have to do is ask." She hinted and my mouth watered.
"I'm good." I replied, not knowing what else to say.
"You need a TV in here." She turned to face me.
"We watch TV at your place, this room is strictly for sex and sleeping. But if a TV will make you happy..." I shrugged and she smiled brightly before kissing me.
I get so lost in her kisses, it's like a wave of energy surges through my body, making me long for more. I moaned when she pulled away, lately she always seems to do this.
"No, no, no." I groaned at her pausing our passionate kiss. "Why'd you stop?" she removed her top and I smirked as she grinned. This I don't mind stopping for.
We continued to kiss as she sat herself on top of me where I began to feel myself harden. I sat myself up and continued to kiss her while I ripped my shirt off.
"feisty." She smiled through our kiss and I shushed her as I moved us so I was now on top.
I tugged on her jeans so they were now exposing some dark-blue, like always, lace panties that matched her bra and I smirked. She helped me pull off her jeans and I kissed up her abdomen and up to her breasts that were shielded by the thin layer of laced material.
Her fingers tangled in my hair as I kissed over her breasts and a moan escaped her lips while my hands moved to the clasp of her bra finally removing the sexy fabric.
Stefan's POV:
Almost three times a day I hear the sound of their crazy sex antics. I should get out the house but I don't, I wait for Jessie to come down the stairs in nothing but an over-sized shirt and underwear. She's truly breath-taking.
After an hour she finally comes down for a drink.
"Shit! Sorry I didn't know you were down here." She laughed awkwardly and smiled as she moved to the kitchen.
"It's no problem." I smile to her as she placed herself on one of the island stools.
"I'm sorry by the way. I know we can be… loud and you have… sensitive… hearing." she cleared her throat awkwardly with a cringe and I looked to the ground to try and hide my smile.
"We go through this every time, it's ok Jess. You need me to do you anything to eat?" she smiled warmly to me and she nodded her head.
"Sandwich, if you don't mind, would be great." she grinned and I nodded happily and begun on her sandwich.
"So what you been up to today?"
"Well, I brought my outfit for the decade dance tomorrow night. It actually suits me." she giggled her perfect, infectious giggle that made even me want to laugh.
"What about you? You enjoy the 50's?" she asked me as she took another sip of her water and I thought back to what it was like back then.
"It was a fun time. It was nothing like grease I'm sorry to say, no musicals started in the middle of lesson." She tusked and shook her head,
"See that's just disappointing." I laughed as she pointed her finger at me before I slid the sandwich over to her.
"Thanks." She smiled again before taking a small bite. "Wow, this ish amashingue." (this is amazing.) She said with a full mouth.
"Well, I guess it's my Italian roots coming out to play." I boasted and her eyes widened.
"You're Italian." She looked at me in amazement.
"Partially." I nodded and my stomach dropped as Damon came to spoil the only time I really had to get to know Jessie, thankfully he was wearing some sweats.
"mmm." He put his arms around her waist and she held the sandwich out for him to take a bite. "I see saint Stefan's been boasting about our Italian roots if he made you a sandwich."
"He wasn't boasting." She defended me and it made me smile warmly. I know I should be happy for Damon, but he fails to realize he wasn't the only one who had strong feelings for Eliza too, and even Jessie.
He kissed her neck and pulled away from her before his fangs let loose.
"I'm gonna go get something to eat." He kissed her again before leaving.
"You gonna take Elena to the dance tomorrow?" she asked as she finished her first half of the sandwich.
"Umm, yeh I suppose I am." I smiled with a nod before Damon came back into the room with the smallest amount of blood on the corner of his mouth.
"And I'm guessing Damon's taking you?" I asked and Jessie turned around only now noticing his presence.
"I am." he stated before getting a little confused, "Where am I taking you?" he asked turning to face to her.
"The 50's decade dance. You're so sloppy." She noted to him and glided her thumb past his part of the mouth that held the spot of blood and he, so predictably, licked it from her thumb making me all the more uncomfortable.
"I'm gonna go to bed, get some rest." I stated and Jessie gave me a warm smile.
"Have a nice sleep Stef." I smiled back at her before leaving the kitchen and honestly listening in on their conversation.
"Why're you so nice to him?" Damon scoffed and I heard her sigh.
"Because Damon, I don't have to hate him like you do. I consider him a friend and he's practically my brother." It was my turn to sigh, I knew she didn't see me more than that but it warmed to know she cares. I left them to their privacy for my own bed.
Jessie's POV:
I know Damon acts like he hates Stefan, but the truth is, deep down he still loves him because it's his brother. I decided to change the subject,
"So you're Italian." I wiggled my eyebrows at him and he nodded. "Well maybe that could be our date. Show me how good of a cook you are." I smiled and he kissed my hand.
"If that's what you wish then it shall come true." I giggled at his gentleman behaviour as he picked the now empty plate from in front of me and placed it in the sink.
"What were your plans before you decided to join me as a vampire?" he asked me and it stunned me for him to ask such a question.
"Well, I guess to travel, meet someone I'd fall in love with along my journey, eventually get married and return to mystic falls." I listed and I saw interest in his eyes as he stalked closer to me. "What about you?" I asked tilting my head upwards as he stood in front of me.
"Like every man's expectations of life in the 1800's." he shrugged.
"Which is?" I urged for him to tell me.
"Marry with a beautiful wife and have maybe two kids, preferably boys and success in business to become wealthy." He played with a piece of my hair and finally met my gaze.
I felt terrible for him, I know he was most likely to Mary Eliza, and not to mention she was pregnant and he would undoubtedly become successful with a little help off his farther.
"I'm sorry." I breathed and he looked at me in question. "I know you almost had all of that and-"
"Jessie, that was when I was human, now all I want is you. I'd choose this life with you over a human life any day." He smiled at me before bringing his lips to mine.
"I'm gonna go take a shower while you change the sheets." I pointed at him and he immediately groaned.
"What? Why can't we just sleep in one of the guest rooms?"
"Because it's lazy. And I want to be in your room." I added the last part and he smirked. "Don't do that?" I crossed my arms and glared at him.
"Do what? Look at my incredibly sexy girlfriend who is stood in front of me in nothing but my shirt and sexy panties?" I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him and again he smirked.
"That. What is your deal with smirking? I Mean seriously?" he smiled and pulled me closer to him so I was now in between his legs.
"All part of my irresistible charm?" he chimed and kissed me deeply.
"Come on." I moved away from him and pulled him back to the bedroom after making a short stop down the hall to get spare sheets and hand them to him.
It wasn't long before I was in the shower for less than 2 minutes, feeling Damon's arms snake around my waist and his head buried its self into my neck as his breathing on my neck relaxed me.
"You're supposed to be making the bed." I told him as I turned around to face him.
"Already done." He said simply before kissing me again. I hummed in pleasure as he kissed down my neck to my chest.
Again, we had sex, and I had a quick wash after, well that's what I usually do. Instead I found myself being carried to the bed where I lay breathlessly on the clean, expensive sheets.
"I may be bruised." I groaned and he chuckled.
Damon's POV:
"That was the best sex I've ever had." I replied honestly and incredibly breathless myself. It's unbelievable the number of women I've had and never had sex like that, I didn't even need a bed.
"Yeh, thanks for nearly killing me in the process." She breathed before turning her head to me.
"You're welcome." I grinned lightly and kissed her shoulder, I didn't quite have the energy to lean across to her lips. It wasn't long before she fell to sleep and I regained the energy to cover her in the soft sheet and settling myself down with my arms around her tightly as usual.
I woke up to a knock on the door and grumbled as I tightened my arms around Jessie in protest, even though the person behind the door couldn't see my disapproval.
Hearing another knock on the door I decided to answer, maybe then it'd shut up.
"Who is it?" I groaned again and Elena walked in.
"Is Jessie in-"she stopped when she noticed Jessie asleep and I shushed her, "Tell her I'll see her later at home." she whispered and I nodded before resting my chin back on Jessie's shoulder before closing my eyes.
"Shut the door on your way out." I ordered, keeping my eyes closed. "You can open your eyes now." I chuckled as she sighed.
"Damn your vampire hearing. I'm a terrible sister, I shouldn't avoid her." I hugged her tighter to my chest and she turned her head to me. "Am I being horrible? I should be spending more time with her shouldn't I?" she asked with concern and I kissed her head.
"You're not a horrible person. It's bound to be a little weird just finding out she's adopted." I reassured her and she nodded before pulling me into a kiss.
Jessie's POV:
The day went pretty fast and before I knew it I was sitting on my bed with Azz as he did my hair into 'Veronica lake waves'.
"Hey, I came by the boarding house earlier but you were sleeping." Elena walked in. "wow, you look amazing." I smiled at her and got off the bed just as Azz finished my hair.
"Thanks, you look good too." I kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry I've been with Damon a lot lately-"
"Jess, its fine. I know it's weird but you'll always be my sister and I'll always love you." I took a deep breath, I still have problems saying those words but I have to get over it, it's been a year.
"I love you too big sis." I smiled as she grinned widely, little freaky I must admit.
"What? Oh my god Jess! I love you too." She screamed before squeezing me in a breathless hug, until thankfully Azz came to pull her off me.
"No messing up my master piece, I still have to do her makeup but still." He shimmied his hands over my face in demonstration and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Yeh, makeup then Damon's picking me up. Azz's going early to catch up with Caroline and Bonnie." Elena and Azz nodded.
"Ok, Stefan's coming in a little while." I nodded to her before she left.
"Ok, let's get this done." I sat in front of the mirror and he smiled as he begun on my cat eyeliner while I applied some red lipstick. Before I knew it he was done and left to go find Bonnie and Caroline, as they were already there.
"JESS!" I heard Elena scream from her room and I went racing into her room where she stood, freaked out. Thank god I wasn't in my heals just yet.
"What, what is it?" she pointed to the Gilbert device and it seemed to be going off the rails like crazy.
"It's freaking me out." She panicked and I put my hands on her shoulders.
"Just let's go downstairs and call Stefan. Ok?" She nodded and we both made our way downstairs into the living room.
'Stefan's phone. How may help you?'
"Where is he?" she spat through the phone. So she's talking to Damon. I rolled my eyes.
'He's on his way to you, Forgot his phone.'
"Thank god." She sighed with relief. "This compass was spinning. Stefan must be here. Thank you." She added to him and put her thumbs up to me. Finally, a little more civilization.
'You're welcome. Is Jessie ready yet?' and Elena said yes to his question, leaving me to wonder what they were talking about. 'Tell her I'll be there in literally a minute'.
'Ok.' She nodded and put the phone down.
"Damon said he'll be her in a minute." I nodded and all of a sudden a vampire jumped from the ceiling and everything got chaotic after that. He made a move to imbed his fangs into Elena's neck and I picked up the closet thing next to me; a vase, and smashed it off the ass-holes head, but it didn't faze him.
Thankfully Stefan arrived just in time to throw him off Elena and before I knew it he was gone, out the front door surprisingly. I watched as she clung onto Stefan in fear and I rubbed her back.
"I'll go get you some water." She nodded against his chest and I did exactly that while they sat down.
"How did he get in?" Damon asked as he paced cross the living room before sitting on the arm of my chair and placing his hand on my back.
"He was invited in." Elena said still a little shaky.
"He posed as a pizza delivery guy last night." Stefan and I informed at the same time and we looked at each other for a second.
"Well, he gets points for that. Did he say what he wanted?" Damon asked. 'Well no, dughh!'
"No. He was too busy trying to kill me." I smiled over to Elena for her comment.
"And you have no idea who this is?" Stefan asked Damon, how the hell is Damon supposed to know?
"No. Don't look at me like that. I told you we had company." He added to Stefan who sat next to Elena, a little further away than usual.
"You think there's more than one?" I turned my attention to Damon just as Elena asked her question.
"We don't know." He shrugged.
"Damon, he was invited in." Stefan stated clearly.
"Then we go get him tonight. Until that bastard is dead, Jessie is staying at our place." He informed and I looked at him with a glare.
"I can handle myself, besides he wants Elena." I shrugged and she shot me a look. "No offence." I added but he ignored my comment completely.
"You up for it?" he looked over to Elena.
"What do I have to do?" she asked fearlessly but she was crapping herself, I could tell.
"Just do what we were going to do originally, let your boyfriend take you to the dance, I'll take Jessie, and we'll see who shows up."
"That's a bad idea." Stefan shook his head in protest.
"Till' we get him, this house isn't safe. For anyone who lives in It." he shot back to his younger brother.
"It's worth a shot. What other opportunity will we have after tonight?" I questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"I'll do it. I'll be with the three of you, even though Jess' just human she can fight like hell. I'll be safe." She agreed and rubbed Stefan's hand and both Stefan and Damon looked at me, just now noticing I didn't tell her about my 'powers'.
Third person POV:
"Having fun?" Elena asked both Bonnie and Caroline who stood with Azz as they chatted.
"No, but this took about 2 hours, so I'm at least staying half of that." Caroline motioned towards her outfit.
"What's Damon doing here?" Bonnie asked looking over at him as he stood with Jess.
"He came with Jess. Look I know you don't like him, and things… happened, but just try and tolerate him for Jess? I know I do." Azz stated.
"No, you tolerate him for Jess and the fact you think he's hot." Bonnie added.
"I promise. He'll behave." Elena swore even though it wasn't her place to reassure them.
"So, what is this, like, the four of you now, the gilbert sisters and the Salvatore brothers?" Caroline asked obviously jealous.
"If I'm gonna be with Stefan and be jess' sister, then I have to learn to tolerate Damon. It's not like I can kill him." Elena explained.
"There's a thought." Caroline chirped.
"Mm. I'll help." Bonnie interjected before leaving after Azz headed over to his old 'friend' Billy.
Jessie's POV:
I watched with Damon and Stefan as all the other students danced to probably the worst song of the 50's while we scanned the room for the bastard who tried to kill my big sister.
"Care to dance?" he smiled at me and I shook my head. "Have I told you how hot you look tonight?" I shook my head again, not giving him attention, which I should have known would faze him. "Ok spill, what's wrong?" he turned me to face him.
"They're talking about you." I sighed. "Go ask them to dance." I ordered and wandered over to them with a groan.
I watched as they both turned him down and I walked over to him with Stefan and Elena who had joined me just a moment before.
"Where did they go?" Elena asked and I stood next to Damon who put his arm over my shoulders.
"I don't know." Damon replied simply.
"What'd you say to 'em?" Stefan asked with a smug smile.
"I was perfectly polite." I kicked him in the shin and he looked down at me and I motioned towards Elena. "Elena Would you like to dance?" he took the hint.
"I would love to." Damon smiled over to Stefan and my smile had dropped just as she turned to Stefan, "May I have is dance?" I breathed a pissed off sigh as they both moved to the dance floor.
"Come on," I rolled my eyes and pulled him to the dance floor. "So tell me, what was it like in the 50's?" I asked to try and take my mind off everything else.
"I wasn't particularly a fan of the fifty's, I wasn't around much." I raised my eyebrows.
"Thanks for shedding light on this evening." I smiled and he chuckled.
"If you could have lived in any decade, what would it be?" he asked and I smiled.
"Is that even a question? Roaring twenties!" I smiled and he chuckled again. "What would yours be?"
"Well the 80's were way better than the 90's, by far, but I would also go with the twenties." I laughed.
"How convenient." I smiled up to him.
"Honestly, burlesque, the more than fun Charleston dance, which I mastered to perfection and of course the jazz. Let's not forget Cars also gave young people the freedom to go where they pleased and do what they wanted, which some called 'bedrooms on wheels'." He listed and I laughed.
"Bedroom's on wheels?" he nodded. "wow." I smiled and a fast song came on.
"so… the Carleton?" I asked with a smirk and he laughed.
"I'll show you some other time." He whispered into my ear and kissed my neck.
"Mind if I cut in?" Tyler stood next to us and I smiled over to him. Damon hesitated a little and I kissed his cheek before he agreed.
"I'll be by the punch." He looked over Tyler as he said the word punch which made me a little uneasy. Never the less I danced with Tyler until the next song and I laughed all the way as he attempted to do some fifty's moves, some of which failed completely.
I jogged over to Damon just as Tyler left.
"What was that about?" He looked down to me as I questioned him and he put his arm around my waist.
"He was asking a lot of questions, I don't like him, there's something off about him." I scoffed,
"Not everyone's out to get you Damon. I'm gonna go get us a drink, I'll be right back." I kissed his cheek before leaving him again.
"Was that the girl you been hanging out with?" I asked to Jeremy and he nodded.
"Yeh, she's being weird though." He handed me a drink of punch.
"Oh?" I sort of asked.
"Yeh, she wants to borrow Jonathan gilbert's journal and freaked when I said I borrowed it to Alaric instead." I stiffened. What's with this journal?
"Hey, you ok?" I broke from thought and smiled at him.
"Yeh, can I have another, for Damon?" he nodded and handed me one. "Thanks, I'll see you later?" I asked and kissed his cheek before moving back to Damon.
"See him yet?" I asked and he shook his head. I sighed again, something I seem to be doing a lot lately. He turned me away from him and began to rub my shoulders a little.
"Just loosen up a little, relax." He whispered down to me.
"How can I relax when there's vampire out to get my sister?" he kissed my neck and turned me back to face him, just as a more upbeat song came on.
"Come on, let's dance grumpy-grumperson!" I laughed as he pulled me to the dance floor and he begun to spin me around until I got a little dizzy and a less frantic song came on.
He did a pathetic dance as he pulled me a long in and almost ballroom fashion that just made me laugh at his serious face.
Third person POV:
"We really can't take them anywhere can we?" Elena giggled and watched as Damon and he sister dance across the floor.
"Uh, no." he shook his head with a smile until Elena's dropped.
"Stefan, The back corner." She urged.
"Get Damon." He ordered before going after the guy in the hoodie that Elena had recognised.
"Damon!" Stefan shouted as he came to find his brother and Jessie still dancing and laughing.
"What, what's wrong?" he asked in concern and Jess' eyebrows knotted together.
"He tricked me, he has Elena." Jess' eyes widened in her new discovery and they rushed to find Elena, Stefan using his speed while Damon and Jessie followed.
"Hey, dickhead. Nobody wants to kill you. Just wanna talk." Damon said holding his hands up in defence with half of a wooden mop in his hand that Elena had snapped while Stefan held the other.
But the vampire sped over to Jessie, who was making her way over to Elena, making Damon growl and speed over to him where Stefan staked him in the stomach before he could do anything more.
"Now you feel like talking'?" Stefan questioned as the vampire fell to his knees in pain.
"Screw you." He spat back earning him more pain as Stefan twisted the pole more into the vampire's stomach while he let out a groan.
"Wrong answer. Why are you doing this?" Stefan interrogated.
"Cause it's fun."
"Why do you want with Elena?"
"She looks like Katherine."
"You knew Katherine?" Damon asked in confusion.
"Oh. You thought you were the only ones. You don't even remember me. Well before she found out about you and Eliza here, she had fun with others too, you know." Damon looked down to Jessie who had stiffened at the vampires misleading sights.
Obviously, he hadn't got the memo of Kathrine killing Eliza. Damon pushed Stefan out of the way and pushed the hand-made-stake closer to the Vampires heart,
"Tell me how to get in the tomb. Hmm?" he asked as he crouched down.
"No." again Damon twisted the stake further, earning a loud groan of pain. "The grimoire." He breathed out in pain.
"Where is it?" the sharp wooden stick was pierced into the vampire's body, ripping through the layers of cartilage.
"Check the journal." He gasped a breath of air before continuing, "The journal. Jonathan gilbert's." he fessed up in fear.
"Who else is working with you?" Damon stood up and looked over to Jessie who stood emotionlessly. Hearing the open of a door by Anna, who was unknown to be there by them, rushed off out of the hall before her identification was revealed.
"Who else is there?" Stefan asked.
"No. You're gonna have to kill Me." easily done. Stefan removed the wood before baring it into the vampire's heart.
The vampire gurgled until he turned grey with death and fell back onto the floor while Elena gasped, however this did not phase Jessie as she comforted her sister.
"What do we…how are you gonna find the others now?" she asked with a shaky breath pulling herself from Jessie's hold.
"He had to die." Damon stated and put his hand on Jessie's back.
"But-"she tried to protest but they weren't having any of it,
"Elena, he's been invited in." Stefan said coldly.
"Go. I got this." Stefan said as they all turned to see Alaric walk by after they heard a loud clunk sound, Damon complied and rushed off to go question the person.
"Jess, you ok? You ok a little… out of it." Stefan asked from where he stood with Elena in his arms.
"He thought I was her. He knew Elena wasn't Kathrine but he failed to notice I wasn't her." she voiced before moving to the only available exit. "Tell Damon I've gone home."
"But there's another out there Jess, you shouldn't go alone." Elena said to her young sister who stood in the doorway and turned to face them. She took a pencil from the floor next to her and stabbed herself in the hand, closing her eyes for a brief moment of pain and concentration, and projected it back to Stefan who winced a little.
"I'll be fine." she walked off and left Elena and Stefan baffled beyond belief, as she didn't tell Elena of her new found power just yet.
"There's no way that idiot was working alone." Damon said as his brother stood opposite him.
"You are." Damon shot Stefan a sarcastic smile before his brother continued. "So the grimoire that was Emily's, right? That's what you need to reverse the spell and possibly find information about Jessie's power. When the founding families burned her, they took her things, and you were hoping that dad's journal would tell you where it is." Stefan clicked on as he came to stand closer to his brother.
"Look at you puttin' the pieces together. Good for you. I was half-right. Well, it's out there now. Let the games begin." He breathed.
"My offer still stands." Stefan reminded.
"Yeah, with some hidden caveats, no doubt."
"No. Nothing hidden about it. No lies. No deception. I'm there when you open up that tomb, You get what you need from Kathrine, you kill her, And the other 26 vampires die." Stefan knew there was more to killing Kathrine than just killing her, Damon wanted answers, and he wanted to know if Eliza was truly pregnant. Damon couldn't just go by Kathrine's word anymore, Stefan new that much.
"If I agree?"
"I'll help you."
"Why should I trust you?"
"Because I'm your brother."
"No, that's not gonna cut it." They debated.
"Because I want you gone. And I know you're gonna take Jessie with you if you leave, no doubt." Damon studied his brother for a while before thinking over why he wants him and Jessie gone, he couldn't bare being around Jessie when Damon knows that Stefan loved her too.
"Ok." He agreed. "But on one condition, you admit it." Damon added and his brother's eyebrows drew together.
"Admit what?" he asked shaking his head.
"That you love Elena but have feelings for Jessie that you know you shouldn't have." Stefan took a deep breath in before releasing it.
"Fine, I... I feel something for Jessie." Damon nodded, satisfied at his little brother's statement and they left with Elena to go back to the Gilbert house.
As soon as they arrived Damon rushed to Jessie's room where she lay on her bed and turned her head after feeling him lie down next to her.
"You…" Damon paused, searching for the right word. "Stabbed… Stefan in the hand, without actually stabbing him… again." She sighed but he didn't mind it, if anything he was thankful, his brother deserved it.
Stefan needs to learn to be happy with what he's got and stop trying to take Damon's place in everything.
"Thank you." He chuckled and pulled Jessie closer to his chest.
"I didn't hurt him too much did I? I hope he doesn't hate me for it." She looked up at him.
"No believe me, far from hate. I'm proud of you for using your 'power'." he smiled down at her and kissed her head.
"Well Jessie's asleep." Damon sighed as he slumped on the couch before putting his feet up and his hands behind his head, "I'm staying here tonight, if you don't mind." Elena eyed him questioningly a tilted her head, "your right, I don't care if you mind or not." He shrugged as Elena and Stefan sat cuddled up on the sofa.
"Stefan told me about what happened with Jess and Stefan earlier at the school, I can't believe It." she breathed.
"Well believe it, she's better than you." Stefan glared him in anger, but he knew deep down, it was true.
Whatever makes Elena look like Kathrine, Jessie has it too, and Jess has a power which indeed makes her better than Elena.
Long, blonde, shiny, enchanting (almost white) hair compared to chocolate brown. Bright, icy blue, glistening eyes compared to dull yet sparkly eyes. Both incredibly beautiful, but Jessie's beauty seemed to sand out more to Elena's without a doubt. Jess was something seen from a child's eyes as a real-life princess, no matter how much she hated being called it, it was the perfect description.
So that's that chapter over and I will say I enjoyed writing for this chapter :) so we had a little thing with Stefan admitting his feelings about Jessie to Damon there :O what'd you guys think? was it good, bad? let me know in a PM or review, you don't need an account to review.
