The House Guest/ Know Thy Enemy/ The Last Dance
Jessie woke up the next morning with a headache. And feeling guilty. Guilt. She hated that. She hated feeling like that, but she has been feeling like that for a while now, I mean it was her fault that her father died wasn't it? Also she killed Vicki, Matt's older sister someone he loves and cares about, she kept the supernatural secret from Megan and that caused a rift in their friendship, also her brother left I mean that was her fault as well, wasn't it? Elijah being daggered was also her fault as well. She placed the dagger in his chest, watched the hurt and confusion flash through his eyes before he just died. She just feels guilty for all the things that she has done… and she needs to fix it. Starting with sorting their friendship out, she needed to sort things out with Megan first.
Getting changed into a pair of high waisted black shorts and black tights, also a baggy grey t-shirt that had NERD on it in black bold letters, she slipped on her black leather jacket before getting her converse on before grabbing her bag and walking down the hallway. Jessie looked in Tyler's room and sighed as his messy bed was still unmade, like the day he left, a football jersey laid on the floor with a pair of shoes. Jessie closed the door before going to Elijah's room and saw that it was all tidy, the bed neatly made, a suit jacket was hanging up by the closet before deciding to clear up his stuff when she gets back from school
Carol waited downstairs for her daughter while sipping her coffee. She looked towards the door as Jessie came in fiddling with that locket around her neck, Carol still didn't know how her daughter had gotten the locket other than she was always wearing it, have done since she was small, probably picked it up from somewhere. "Morning honey, the pots hot." Carol said and Jessie nodded her head giving her mom a smile, "So what do you think about having a movie night?" Carol asked as Jessie made her coffee, "Yeah that sounds pretty cool. Don't think I've got any plans, going to try and sort things out with Megan today." Jessie admitted and sat down next to her mom who gave her a small smile. "Things will be fine sweetie, if things do work out you two can go to The Grill, I heard that Matt has organised a live band." Carol suggested and Jessie nodded her head and flipped her fringe out of her face as it fell in front of her eyes. "Yeah, that's if things work out though. Can you give a lift to school please? I mean Ty would normally…" Jessie trailed and her mother sighed, they barely talked about Tyler leaving as Carol knew that it was a touchy subject for her daughter.
But Carol nodded her head anyway, "Sure sweetie."
When Jessie arrived at school, she saw Megan and Kyle snogging by Kyle's older brother's new car after the other one was at the bottom of the lake at Wickery Bridge. Jessie bit her lip before walking up to them feeling confident, "Hey Meg, Kyle." Jessie said grinning and they both stopped. Megan looked at her before looking back at Kyle and he gave Jessie a small smile and a nod, "Hey Jessie… I'll leave you two." He said and left after kissing Megan's lips and leaving the girls alone.
"What do you want?" Megan asked her quickly and Jessie's grin faltered a little, "Er… I was wondering if you wanted to go to the live band at The Grill tonight?" Jessie asked and her hand automatically went to her locket and began to play with it nervously, "I'm going on a date with Kyle tonight." Megan said giving her a small smile, Jessie nodded her head.
"Oh… yeah, sure. Have fun," Jessie mumbled and began to turn to walk away, "Maybe another time?" Megan shouted after her and Jessie turned around nodding her head, "Yeah," She called back and watched as Megan left to catch up with Kyle, "maybe another time." Jessie whispered.
Jessie slammed her locker door closed with a frown, "Whoa what's wrong with you?" Kayla asked spitefully and Jessie rolled her green eyes, "Leave me alone Kayla." Jessie muttered and began to walk away but Kayla grabbed her arm and pulled her back, "Don't talk to me like that you little-" Kayla began but shook her head and gave a fake smile, "Sorry for being rude Jessie, that was so not fair." Kayla said sweetly and Jessie frowned, "Erm ok? Can you let go of my arm now?" Jessie asked and Kayla let go. "Yeah, sure." She said.
"But what is wrong with you? You're usually all happy and rainbows and unicorns, but it looks like someone just killed a puppy and made you watch." Kayla asked confused and Jessie raised an eyebrow, "I'm not five. Nothing is wrong, and you wouldn't care even if there was something wrong anyway." Jessie said and went to walk away but Kayla took her arm and pulled her back, "Look I was a bitch before, I was just jealous that you got onto the cheerleading team and I didn't. I mean look at me? I'm beautiful, athletic, smart-" Yeah re-think the last one Jessie thought but didn't say anything, "and funny. Why wouldn't I be on the cheerleading team? But you got on it and I was jealous. But I want to start again and be friends with you." Kayla finished and Jessie frowned.
"Wait- say what? You want to be friends with me?" Jessie asked and Kayla nodded her head after a moment or two hesitation. Jessie burst out laughing. After a minute or so with Kayla tapping her heel impatiently Jessie finally stopped, "You done?" Kayla asked with a perfectly sculpted eyebrow raised and Jessie nodded her head wiping her eyes, "Sorry… but that was too funny. Ok I'm going to be late for English, this chat was very funny, ah see ya." Jessie said and left for class.
"So you're telling me, that Katherine is back and living as we killed Elijah therefore the compulsion wore off, and she is pretty good at being Elena?" Jessie asked Stefan who nodded his head. "Pretty much, be careful ok? You two… got along… occasionally in 1864, but you still hated her for messing with Damon and I." Stefan said and Jessie smirked a little, "Well you two were my boys, of course I will be pissed if a bitch came along and stopped you two from being my boys." Jessie said and Stefan rolled his eyes before looking at her carefully.
"You sure you're ok? I mean with Tyler gone and you daggering Elijah…" Stefan started, but Jessie shook her head, "I'm fine ok? Seriously, I'm fine. I've got to go, packing Elijah's stuff up then probably movie night with my mom." Jessie said and Stefan nodded his head and gave her a hug which she returned before they pulled away, "I'll drop you off." Stefan said and Jessie nodded her head before she got into his car and he dropped her off at her house.
Jessie went straight up to Elijah's room with spare boxes and began to go through his closet and packed away all his suits nicely before moving onto the research papers, Jessie skimmed read them even though she wasn't meant to but she couldn't help herself. When reading about the history of Mystic Falls also some things that Elijah had written in his perfect writing about how there was an 'Original Family' when her phone went off, Jessie answered it. "Hello?" She asked.
"I'm coming to pick you up, you're staying at my house you don't really have a choice." Jessie heard Jeremy say before he hung up and she rolled her eyes at him before putting the papers down and left Elijah's room and went into her own room and packed a bag for the night before going downstairs just as the doorbell rang and her mom answered, guess she was finally home.
"Jessie!" Carol called for her and Jessie jumped off the last step and went to the hallway and saw Jeremy giving her his famous grin, "Is it alright mom? To stay at Jeremy's?" Jessie asked to make sure and Carol nodded her head, "Yeah it's fine. I've got loads of paperwork to do as well sweetie, you two have fun." Carol said and Jessie smiled and hugged her mom before leaving with Jeremy.
When they got to the Gilbert household, Jessie saw Caroline and Bonnie there as well, she waved at them and they all smiled and waved back, "Hey sweetie," Caroline said to Jessie, "Hey," Jessie replied before she went upstairs with Jeremy and threw her bag onto the floor before jumping onto Jeremy's bed and laying down, "Go get me ice-cream." Jessie ordered Jeremy who laughed, "Get it yourself." Jeremy replied and threw a pillow onto her face. Jessie pouted before picking her pillow up and hitting Jeremy with it, he grabbed her waist and threw her onto the bed again, "Piss off." He said grinning and got a pillow and began to hit her again while she screamed and got free before she retaliated as well laughing while doing so.
Bonnie knocked on Jeremy's bedroom door and came in seeing Jessie and Jeremy in a pillow fight, she rolled her eyes smiling at them, "We're all going to The Grill to see the band. You coming?" Bonnie asked and smiled at Jeremy who smiled back, Jessie looked at them and smirked before nodding her head, "Yeah. I'll be downstairs don't be too loud you two, Caroline is a vampire, she will hear it." Jessie said innocently and ran out the room as Jeremy threw a pillow at her retreating figure while Bonnie blushed.
Jessie finished tying her hair into a ponytail as they entered The Grill, hearing the music blaring, they all giggled and Jessie thought that the lead singer was quite good-looking, "Wow good-looking singer." Jessie shouted to Caroline over the music who giggled and nodded her head. Jessie stood next to Jenna and Caroline dancing a little before she spotted Alaric and she had heard about her break-up between Jenna and Alaric and bit her lip as Jenna said, "I need a drink." Before walking away. Jessie sighed before Matt came their way and Caroline said, "Hey Matt," But he completely ignored her and talked to another girl before he walked back their way but ignored them. Megan and Kyle walked past Jessie and Jessie smiled at them and waved, "Hey Meg," Jessie said but Megan just shrugged and walked away with Kyle. "Things just got real awkward." Bonnie said.
Jessie went over to where Jeremy was drinking his coke and she took it and took a gulp down before putting it back on the table and made a face, "Ok that's defiantly not just coke." Jessie stated and Jeremy shrugged, "Maybe it is, maybe it's not." Jeremy said and Jessie shook her head and sat down next to him putting her head on her crossed arms that were on the bar, "What's wrong pouty face?" Jeremy asked and did the same thing that Jessie was doing. "Megan hates me," Jessie mumbled and Jeremy sighed and scooted closer to her still in the same position, "She doesn't Jessie… it's just… well I don't really know whats going on with her right now. I mean she just found out about the supernatural world and stuff, Megan takes things differently we always do, she's probably just pissed that we kept it from her. Don't worry she's ignoring me as well." Jeremy said but frowned when that didn't seem to help Jessie.
"What did she say to you?" Jeremy asked concerned. Jessie bit her lip before shrugging, "Nothing really… and the stuff she did say was right." Jessie mumbled. Jeremy frowned and sat up properly and poked her arm making her sit up as well, "Tell me what she said." Jeremy said carefully and Jessie sighed before shaking her head, "Really it doesn't matter Jer. It's fine," Jessie said smiling but Jeremy raised an eyebrow at her and was about to say something else when they heard Caroline's voice.
"Hey everybody," Jessie and Jeremy turned around and saw Caroline on the stage, Alaric went and stood next to them, "Let's hear it for the band." Caroline said and began to clap and Jessie, Jeremy and Ric all joined in giving each other looks, "This isn't going to end well." Alaric said but Jessie shrugged, "Hey you never know." Jessie mumbled and watched Caroline.
"So there's this guy and err, he told me to tell him how I feel about him… like it's so easy. Erm, just because I talk a lot doesn't actually mean I know what I'm talking about, rem like now and I'm feeling loopy and I don't really know how to express myself. Erm," Caroline said and the singer went to take the mic off Caroline, "I can sing. Yeah! You know what? I'm going to sing." Caroline said and Jessie looked at the other two, "Sing?" She asked and Alaric shrugged before they saw that Caroline was talking quietly to the lead singer and the three of them already knew that she was compelling him.
They watched as Caroline began to sing Eternal Flame and Jessie grinned at Jeremy and Alaric before seeing Jenna look at Alaric and she smiled softly before nudging Ric, "Go get her," She whispered and Ric sighed before shaking his head and she raised an eyebrow but he said nothing.
Jessie looked at the other side of The Grill to Megan and Kyle who were both laughing at something, Megan caught Jessie's eye and nodded her head giving a small smile before Megan looked back at her cousin singing. Jessie looked as Matt went onto the stage and kissed Caroline she giggled and yelled, "GET IN THERE MATT!"
Jessie was dancing to another song with some boy, his name was Joel, the two of them were dancing around together hands linked in each others when suddenly the lights burst, "Shit… what's going on?" Joel asked and Jessie frowned confused and looked behind her and saw Jonas, Luka's father talking to Bonnie and instantly felt like something wasn't right. "No idea… better get out of here." Jessie said and Joel frowned when the lights all went and the music cut off. Suddenly fire just started and everybody started to panic and scream, Jessie felt Joel tighten his grip on Jessie's hand, "We're getting out of here." He whispered into her ear and she nodded but looked around and saw that Kyle and Megan were leaving. Jessie bit her lip before she was being dragged out the back way by Joel who had a tight grip on her arm now instead of her hand. Jessie looked behind her and saw a fire suddenly go up behind her burning her arm as she wasn't wearing a jacket as she left it at Jeremy's house. She hissed in pain and felt tears brimming in her eyes, Joel kept dragging her out though until they got into the night air out back. Jessie bit her lip to keep from screaming in pain as her arm stung painfully, "At least we're out of that. Crazy warlock setting the place alight." Joel said annoyed before turning around and looked at Jessie who was looking at her red arm that was bleeding badly.
Joel's eyes changed red, fangs came out of his mouth and Jessie looked up, "You smell so good… just a taste." Joel whispered before biting into Jessie's neck. Jessie screamed out and tried to fight the vampire off of her but she was too weak and she could feel herself slipping when her locket suddenly burned against her skin making her hiss as well and Joel was flung off of her in confusion, "What the fu-" He began before his heart was ripped out of his chest and Elen- no Katherine was standing behind him holding the heart. "Well… that was new." She said smirking.
Jessie fell to the ground in pain. Katherine watched her before going over to her, "Hm… you know I could just leave you here to die. But then I would lose the trust of the Salvatore's…" Katherine trailed before biting into her wrist and holding his out of Jessie, "Drink." Katherine snapped but Jessie just looked at her with a traitor tear falling down her cheek, Katherine rolled her eyes and shoved her wrist into Jessie's mouth making her drink. Jessie tried to fight her off but drunk it before she pulled away and Jessie wiped her mouth looking at her bloodied arm seeing it start to heal up slowly but it was healing.
Katherine raised an eyebrow at Jessie, "What no thank you? Well I did just save your life, Jessie." Katherine snapped and got up but Jessie got up as well and followed her, "Thanks… but this doesn't mean that I like you Katherine. You ruined the Damon and Stefan's relationship." Jessie said and walked beside Katherine who looked at her quickly, "I know. If it helps, I don't like you that much either Jessie. Clean yourself up, before Stefan get's here." Katherine said and threw Jessie some tissue which she used to clean the blood away on her arm and neck before throwing it away in the nearest bin and they waited till Stefan came, "Why are you wearing Elena's clothes?" Jessie asked as Katherine looked around for Stefan, "It's for the plan. I'm pretending to be Elena, it's to save her." Katherine said quickly.
"What's in it for you?" Jessie asked confused. Katherine turned and gave her a look, "Nothing. Look I want Klaus dead as much as they do… except for you. You don't want Klaus dead do you?" Katherine said smirking. Jessie bit her lip, "I do." Jessie said confidently.
"Oh really? Even after 1864-65?" Katherine asked. Jessie looked around for Stefan before asked quietly, "How do you know about that?"
"Been running for 500 years, people look out for me and tell me things. Also that you had a love affair with one of the Originals… Kol was it?" Katherine asked and Jessie felt her cheeks go warm, "Don't worry I won't tell your precious boys. But just remember that I know things also I saved you tonight, you owe me." Katherine said and it was silent until Stefan came and they went to the Gilbert household.
"It's not over yet," Katherine said pretending to be Elena to Jeremy and Bonnie, "What's going on?" Jeremy asked. "He'll explain," Katherine said to Jeremy talking about Stefan before she went upstairs, Jessie watched her go, "When did you guys get home?" Stefan asked calmly.
"A few minutes ago." Bonnie said confused, "Did you check the house?" Stefan asked, "Why would we check the house?" Jeremy asked.
Jessie looked at them before saying, "Because someones here."
They all went upstairs and saw Katherine drop Jonas' body to the floor with blood around her mouth, "Your welcome."
"You didn't have to kill him." Bonnie said to Katherine who rolled her eyes, "Yes we did." She replied and Jeremy looked at Jessie who was frowning at Katherine.
They watched as Bonnie placed her fingers against his temples but he woke up and touched her head and she screamed. "AH! Get it out!" Bonnie screamed and Jessie jumped back before Stefan snapped his neck and Katherine placed her foot against his chest looking at him making sure he was actually dead.
Jessie cleaned up the blood while Bonnie and Jeremy were in his room "talking" yeah right, and the others were downstairs after Stefan disposed of the body. Jessie took to cleaning up the blood. She looked at the tissue that was covered in blood and went to put in the bin when her arm started to bleed again, a new wound opened up making her hiss. She threw the bloody tissue in the bin before shifting through the cupboards and found the first aid kit and got some cream and bandages. She was he the blood off in the sink and watched as it fell down the plug hole before getting the cream and bit her lip from the stinging pain before getting the bandages and wrapped it up then taped it so it didn't come off. Her neck was fine just a little sore, guess Elijah was right… I do need Original blood to heal properly Jessie thought with a sigh and finished cleaning up before Jeremy came into the bathroom with a happy glow. Jessie smirked at him and he helped her up, "So… you and Bonnie," Jessie began but Jeremy pushed her gently and she laughed before he spotted her arm and frowned and lifted it up. "What happened? And don't' tell me it was nothing, this is not nothing. Also your neck is bruised, this wasn't here before." Jeremy said protectively and Jessie rolled her eyes giving a small smile. "I just had a small accident Jeremy. It's ok." Jessie said and went into his room and picked up her pyjamas and went back into the bathroom and closed it before Jeremy could come in.
He began to bang on the door, "Go away you perv!" Jessie shouted and changed into her clothes before brushing her teeth and taking her hair out of her ponytail and went into his room where he was already changed and he looked at her.
"Ok you need to tell me everything that happened with you and Megan also what happened with your neck and arm. Now." Jeremy ordered and Jessie sighed and sat down on his bed. "Megan just said that I control her life, I guess that I did… I mean it was me who decided not to tell her about the supernatural. Oh and I got bit by this vamp called Joel, thats why my neck is kind of sore and bruised but Katherine killed him and I got burned by fire on my arm… she gave me her blood to heal me but rem… I need Original blood to heal properly, I mean I will heal soon… but it's just going to take a while." Jessie admitted.
Jeremy sat there frozen before shaking his head, "Katherine helped you? Wow… and why only… Original? Blood why not a normal vampires blood." Jeremy asked confused and Jessie sighed getting ready to tell him about 1864 and 1865.
"So you're a re-carnation of Jessie Lockwood from the 1800's, who was best friends with Damon and Stefan. Your father from then sent you away because of the vampire drama and you went to live with the Originals, you fell in love with a Original in Mystic Falls but he basically compelled you to forget, then it was his family that you went to live with. You were friends with Elijah and Klaus also some other girl and you fell in love with that guy again then he made you remember. Got caught up in some witch drama and you were his fiancé then you just died a month after your birthday and you have no idea how you died. Have I got that all?" Jeremy asked and Jessie nodded her head biting her lip, "Wow… that's a lot to take in… how can you deal with that? And who have you told? What's the guy name, the one you fell in love with? Is he still alive?" Jeremy bombarded her with questions and Jessie smiled softly.
"I've learned to deal with it, no one just you… and you can't tell anyone ok? Spoilers, and I don't know…" Jessie whispered the last bit. Jeremy looked at his best friend before pulling her into a side hug, "I promise that I won't tell anyone… but are you going to be able to deal with killing Klaus? From what you told me you were friends with this dude?" Jeremy asked softly and Jessie nodded her head.
"Yeah I'll be able to kill him, I mean… I barely know him, really… that was in the past. It wasn't actually me." Jessie said and Jeremy nodded his head before the bronze haired yawned.
"Sleepy time for the baby," Jeremy joked and Jessie smacked his chest, "You're on the floor." Jessie said quickly and got under the covers while Jeremy groaned, "I'm always on the floor!" He whined but got onto the air-bed on the floor moaning while Jessie just laughed and soon fell into a peaceful slumber.
Jessie was wearing a light blue dress that reached a few inches above her knees with white converse, he hair fell in her normal curls and she needed to cut it soon as her fringe was growing out, she clipped her fringe back before going downstairs of the Gilbert house and saw Alaric punch John in the face, making her smile anyway, "Nice hit Ric." Jessie said and Alaric looked at her giving a small smile before leaving. "You know this is your fault, right?" Elena said to John. "Right." John finished before Elena took Jessie's hand and took her into Elena's room.
"Ok… explain." Jessie said and Elena began to explain about Isobel showing up and Jenna freaking out before Stefan walked into the room, "Wow… ok. Look I'll see you at the charity thing, my mom wants me home. Tell Jeremy I'll talk to him later, and this will work out… I think." Jessie muttered and waved to them before grabbing her bag and going downstairs and went out into the warm sun, Summer was coming soon.
Jessie walked back to her house enjoying the warm heat on her face and arm, she just had a plaster on her arm now as it was nearly cleaned up, he neck was perfectly fine now.
She got to her house and walked in seeing people sorting it out, Jessie went up to her room and put her dirty clothes in the wash basket before going back downstairs playing with her locket and saw her mom with Liz, "Hello Jessie." Liz greeted, "Hi." Jessie said waving slightly before going into the kitchen and making a glass of water, she drunk it before going back out and seeing Stefan with Elena, she went up to them.
"Hey," Jessie said and Stefan smiled at her, "Hey," Stefan replied. "What's up with Caroline? She was asking about Matt." Jessie said confused.
"Caroline saved Matt with vampire blood and then told him about her being a vampire, he freaked and ran." Elena explained and Jessie sighed before getting a text from Damon, get your ass to the witches place, big house in woods can't really miss it -Damon
Fine -Jessie
Jessie went over to her mom and said that she was going out for a while before she left the Lockwood mansion and walked into the woods and looked for the big witches place. After ten minutes of walking around aimlessly she finally found it and saw Damon outside of it, "Screw you to Emily. You know you're all on your own in there." Damon said when the door closed on him. Jessie giggled as Damon came towards her, he frowned at her, "Dress too short. You're changing." Damon ordered but Jessie just rolled her eyes, "At least the witches don't hate me, Emily was a good friend of mine, she hated you by the way." Jessie said and Damon frowned, "You're meant to be nice to me." Damon said.
Jessie shrugged, "You killed my Uncle, I don't like you." Jessie said.
Damon smirked, "Oh come on JJ, you can't be upset with me forever."
"Actually… Yeah I can." Jessie replied, "Ok well I'm sorry for killing Mason, but he had it coming to him." Damon said and Jessie rolled her eyes, "You're not really sorry Damon," Jessie said and Damon nodded, "Yeah I know but it was worth a try." He replied before his phone rang and he picked up and walked away talking to whoever it was.
When he came back he looked puzzled, "Come on we're going to your house. John had an "accident"." Damon said and they began to walk towards his car. "What do you mean an "accident" like an actually accident or…?" Jessie asked, "Someone probably pushed him down the stairs, by someone I mean Isobel." Damon filled in as they quickly arrived at the Lockwood mansion. Everybody was leaving and Jessie and Damon got out quickly and went inside, "Sweetie you can't see this," Carol said but Jessie just shook her head, "Mom it's fine." She insisted.
"How is he?" Damon asked them, "He's dead." Liz said after looking at Jessie, Jessie looked at his hand and saw the ring before rolling her eyes. "He'll be fine in a couple of hours," Damon said. Carol looked at her daughter before saying to Damon, "What are you talking about? Damon he's dead."
Damon made a face, "Well here's the thing, John's ring is an old Gilbert family heirloom that protects it's owner by death from a-" Damon looked at Jessie and Carol looked at Jessie as well, "Jessie go wait in the living room please." Carol said and she went to argue but after the look her mom sent her, Jessie went into the living room complaining quietly.
After a few minutes her mother came in, "What happened?" Jessie asked innocently and her mother sighed, "Nothing was just a false alarm sweetie," Carol lied and Jessie nodded her head, "Ok. I'm going upstairs, got homework to do." Jessie muttered and left going up to her room.
Jessie finished her history essay and closed her laptop before leaning back on her bed.
Running a hand through her hair, Jessie put her laptop next to her and left her bedroom before going into Elijah's bedroom and started to pack up the rest of his stuff before finding a photo… it was an old photo, over a hundred years old, it was from 1865… there was someone who looked exactly like Elijah… Jessie just knew that it had to be Elijah, his hair reached to the bottom of his ears, then there was a girl who had beautiful blonde hair that reached the middle of her back, she looked so happy just standing there, then there was another man standing next to her, he had blonde curls that went to his ears, he had a smirk on his lips then next to him was a girl… with bronze hair but Jessie couldn't be sure as this photo was so old, but it felt like she was looking in the mirror. Jessie was looking at herself. From 1865. This Jessie wore her hair in the usual braid with wisps falling around her face, she had a playful smile on her face and her round eyes looked so bright, the locket hung around her neck. Next to her was him… it was Kol. His thick brown hair had a wave going across his forehead then it stuck up going off towards the side, he had a playful smirk on his lips, his eyes shone bright with mischief and love? He wasn't looking at the camera, no he was looking at Jessie and he was kissing her cheek while holding her hand that had a beautiful ring on.
Jessie came out of her shook and placed the old picture away in the box before getting some tape and taping up the box and pushing it to the corner trying to forget about the picture that seemed to hold so much memories. Jessie remembered Damon telling her that Stefan had kept a box of things from her past life and she decided that she was going to get that all back and find out as much as she can, she needs answers.
"You really think Bonnie can take on Klaus?" Damon asked. Stefan shrugged, "She said that she can channel enough witches power to do it. Elijah thought that would work and he's an Original so." Stefan replied.
"Yeah but no offence to him, he can't be trusted." Jessie popped up and Damon nodded in agreement, "We just need to find him." Damon said talking about Klaus, "Can't she do one of those witches tracking spells?"
"Nope we don't have something that belongs to Klaus," Jessie replied and leaned agains the wall, "We already asked." Stefan said.
"You think he killed her?" Damon asked and Jessie looked at him then looked at Stefan who was on the other side of her as she was in the middle of the Salvatore boys, "Katherine? Probably." Stefan replied and Jessie bit her lip, "It's not like she didn't have it coming." Damon said and looked away, "No," Stefan whispered in agreement and Jessie sighed before the door opened and she looked at Elena shaking hands with that man, "Thank you," Elena said and Jessie walked straight into the house with Damon and Stefan following but they got held back by the barrier.
"I'm sorry, I completely forgot." Elena said, "Stefan, would you like to come inside my house?"
"I would love to thank you," Stefan said smiling and Jessie smiled at him before looking at Damon, "What are we twelve?" Damon asked and Jessie smirked, "Well you are." Jessie said. "Can't you leave him outside Elena?" Jessie asked innocently ignoring the glare that Damon sent her while Elena and Stefan both laughed, "If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house?" Elena asked.
"No." Damon replied easily and Jessie rolled her eyes, "Seriously Damon, my way you promised. I call the shots, no lies, no secret agendas, remember?" Elena said. "Yes Elena, sure," He said sarcastically and Jessie rolled her eyes at him, "Douche." She muttered and got another glare from Damon and a chuckle from Stefan. "Then please come in," Elena said and Damon came in before picking Jessie up and threw her over his shoulder and Damon looked at Stefan's amused face and muttered, "Shut up." To him before he carried Jessie into the living room with her hitting his back, "Not that you don't have a nice behind, you do, but put me down D." Jessie ordered.
"Thanks," They heard Elena say and Jessie looked up the best she can, "Wait where you going?" Stefan asked while Damon made a drink one-handedly, and the other held Jessie in place, "School." Elena replied.
"Huh?" Stefan asked confused, "Nah we didn't create a safe house for you to leave it." Damon said ignoring Jessie's threats and her hits on his back as he looked at the witch and Elena. "Yeah, guys Klaus is out there we know that." Stefan said, "Right. But where?" Elena questioned while Jessie still tried getting off Damon's back and everyone ignored the younger girl, "No one knows, look I really appreciate what you guys are doing and I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that I'll be safe here but I'm not going to stop going to school," Elena said and Damon made a face, "Your way Elena." He said and Jessie carried on hitting his back before an idea popped into her head making her smirk.
"Don't worry if he shows his face, I can take him. I know how." Bonnie said.
"The way I see it, next to Bonnie is the safest place that I can be," Elena said before looking at Jessie over Damon's back when they suddenly heard Damon give a groan and let Jessie go. She smirked and walked over to Bonnie and Elena them giving her a questioning look, "You did not just do that." Damon said in shock. "Oh but I just did." Jessie replied smirking. "What did she do?" Stefan asked confused at his brother. "She gave me a fucking wedgie!" Damon accused and they all looked at each other before they burst out laughing while Damon just stood there in shock and glared at the younger girl who smiled innocently at him.
"Don't put me over your shoulder again and not let go, then it won't happen. Bye boys," Jessie said and blew them a kiss before leaving with Bonnie and Elena, "Wait I'm coming." Stefan said after he stopped laughing and he went outside ignoring the death threats from Damon.
At school Jessie spotted Matt and waved at him, he looked at her for a second before giving a small hesitant wave back and walked away. Jessie lowered her arm and frowned, ever since the day Caroline had compelled him to forget everything she had told him he has been off with her like he knows she killed his sister, it's a bit weird. Jessie bit her lip before walking to class.
During lunch, Jessie was helping with setting up for the dance. Jessie was painting a banner when a shadow came over her work, she looked up and saw Kayla, "Hey Jessie." Kayla said smiling with Louise at her side. Louise gave Jessie a soft smile which Jessie returned before she looked at Kayla, "Erm… hey? What's up?" Jessie asked and carried on painting her banner, "Nothing… just wondering what you're going to wear for the dance tonight." Kayla said and Jessie frowned and looked up again, "Don't really know… I'll look for something when I get home. Can I help you with anything else? I'm kind of busy." Jessie said and Kayla shook her head, "No… sorry, see you at the dance though! Come on Lou." Kayla said and walked away. Louise looked at Jessie shyly, "Sorry about her… but she really isn't as bad as she use to be. Trust me, I think she actually wants to be friends with you. I have to go, see you later." Louise said politely before leaving. Jessie frowned looking after them before going back to her work not seeing Megan looking at her.
"Let me guess, we're learning about the 60's because of the dance tonight?" Alaric asked as he walked into the classroom, Jessie was getting her book out as Megan replied, "Yeah."
Jessie felt a stare on her and looked around before seeing Alaric staring at her in shock? But she gave a smile, "Right… erm ok then." Alaric said and finally looked away from Jessie who frowned a little confused before looking at Megan who was concentrating on the board. Jessie sighed and wrote some notes down from the board, "So what do you know about the sixties?" Alaric asked the class.
"Hippies." Kyle called out making the class laugh and he sent a wink in Jessie's direction making her roll her eyes while Megan frowned, "Yeah there was hippies… anything else?" Alaric asked when no one said anything he picked on Jessie, "Jessie, do you know anything?" He asked looking straight at her making her feel a little uncomfortable, "Erm… the guy on the moon." Jessie replied slowly and Alaric nodded, "Yeah 1969, the man on the moon. Anything else? Anybody? Come you ought to know something." Alaric pressed and Megan put her hand up, "Yes you." Alaric pointed to her, "Assassination of John F Kennedy?" Megan offered and Alaric nodded, "Correct." He said.
"So we go to the dance, we find him." Damon said, "Really? How we going to do that? We don't even know what he looks like." Stefan said and Jessie concentrated on keeping her heart rate normal and bit her lip to keep from blurting out that she kind of knew what he looked like, "Something tells me that he's not going to be 16 and pimply."
"Would be funny if he was," Jessie supplied making Damon roll his eyes at her while she gave him a grin.
"He could be anywhere, at anytime. He compelled somebody at school," Stefan filled in, "Guess this is not as safe as you guys thought, huh?" He carried on before the door knocked and they all looked and saw Alaric come in, "There you are." Damon said.
"Sorry I'm late," Alaric said. "Hey I need you to put me down as a chaperon for the dance tonight, Klaus made his first move." Damon said, "Yeah a crappy and a little creepy move. I mean why compel some poor soul to do your dirty work? It's not that hard to go up to someone and say 'Oh hey I'm Klaus and I was err wondering if you wanted to save a dance for me, or you know I'll kill everyone you love' like seriously." Jessie said rolling her eyes while everyone looked at her, "Why did you turn British?" Bonnie asked and Jessie bit her lip, "Well he's mean to be like old so… he could be British… I don't know ok." Jessie muttered folding her arms over her chest.
"Ok so we find him and then what? What's our plan of attack?" Elena asked. "Me, I'm the plan, he has no idea how much power that I can channel. If you can find him, then I can kill him." Bonnie replied.
"It can not be that easy, he's the biggest baddest vampire around." Alaric said, "Could be an act, I mean he might not be the biggest baddest vampire around, he could be like a cuddly teddy bear." Jessie supplied smiling innocently while Alaric chuckled, "Sure sweetheart," Alaric replied but Jessie frowned a little when he called her 'sweetheart' but no one else seemed to notice, Jessie looked at Alaric questionable and he gave her a small smirk before looking away.
"Alaric has a point I mean what if he-" Damon began and went to attack Bonnie but she flung him back easily, "Well I was impressed." Stefan said and Jessie nodded her head, "Can you do that again please? I want to record it this time." Jessie said smirking at Damon who frowned at her and gave her the finger, "It doesn't matter if he's an Original, I can take down anyone that comes at me. I can kill him Elena, I know I can." Bonnie said and Jessie gave a small smile but didn't think that Bonnie will be ok I mean she is only new at being a witch, won't this kill her?
Jessie was shifting through some clothes from her Ancestors in the attic when Damon came up holding something, "Hey JJ. Got something perfect for you," Damon said and threw her the clothes. "Thanks," Jessie said looking at the dress, it had a high waisted pink puffy skirt, that had a blue top, it had long black netted sleeves and a yellow belt around the middle. "Now go get ready JJ, I'm your date for tonight." Damon said smirking and Jessie rolled her eyes before going down the stairs from the attic and went into her bedroom, already had a shower early Jessie just got the dress on before finding a bright pink pair of knee high converse and she got them on. Jessie straightened her hair before finding a blue headband and used that to keep her fringe away from her face. She added some lip gloss before grabbing her phone then going downstairs seeing Damon in his fancy gear, her mom had gone out of the night.
"Ready?" Damon asked holding his hand out and Jessie nodded her head, "Sure," She sighed before taking his hand and they got into his car driving to the school.
Jessie saw Bonnie and Jeremy having what looked like a serious conversation before Damon and her walked over, "Damon, Jessie." Bonnie said giving them a small smile, "Evening." Damon said as if he knew what they were talking about, he probably did. Jessie and Damon began to walk away and Jessie looked at Damon, "What's going on D?" Jessie asked him as they entered the hall, "Basically Bonnie will die if she kills Klaus, too much power." Damon whispered and pulled her onto the dance floor, pulling her close and they began to dance to the slow song. "What? No… Bonnie can't do that D." Jessie whispered quickly looking around for anyone who looked strange.
"I know, I'll talk to her." Damon replied quietly before Dana went onto the stage, "Thanks for being here everybody."
Jessie and Damon pulled away and looked around and saw the others, "We have a special shout out tonight, this is for Elena and Jessie… from Klaus," Dana said and Jessie felt Damon grip her arm before he pulled her over to the others, "Why Jessie as well?" Elena asked concerned. "No idea." Stefan replied looking at Jessie making sure she was ok but Jessie just stood there frozen not comprehending what was going on.
"That was a lame cheap shot, he's trying to bait us." Damon said still holding onto Jessie, "I know everyone here." Elena said looking around, "Maybe he's not here, he just wants us to believe that he is." Stefan said looking around as well. "Come on people, blend. Let him come to us." Damon said, "Good idea." Bonnie said and began to pull Jeremy away, "No, no I really don't feel like dancing," Jeremy protested making Jessie come out of her frozen state and give a small smile, "Too bad." Bonnie retired.
"There's Ric, come on Jessie. We'll be back." Damon said and took her hand and pulled her over to Ric.
"What a special occasion huh? As in a little twisted." Ric said, "I'm not impressed." Damon said and Jessie looked around trying to find Klaus, "No?" Alaric asked, "Let me know if you see anything out of whack." Damon said and pulled Jessie with him and onto the dance floor.
"We're dancing." Damon said and Jessie groaned, "Really?" She asked but he just nodded and twirled her around in his arms before un-twirling her again making her giggle. They danced around for a while before Damon said to her, "Go dance with Megan. I need to dance with Elena, stay where I can see you." Damon ordered and twirled her into her blonde friends way who looked at her confused. "Hey Jessie," Megan said and gave a small smile, "Hi," Jessie said awkwardly waving. It was silent for a moment before Megan sighed, "Come on let's just dance weirdly." Megan said grinning and Jessie grinned as well before the two girls began to dance around the floor weirdly not caring what anyone thought about them.
"Hey do you know whats going on tonight?" Megan asked confused and Jessie stopped dancing and nodded her head, "Yeah… this Original called Klaus, he's here. But we don't know what he looks like, just keep an eye out for anything weird ok?" Jessie asked her and she nodded her head her curled hair bobbling, "Sure… hey Mr. Saltzman is coming over," Megan said and Jessie frowned before turning around and seeing Ric there, "Jessie… he has Jeremy, come with me." Alaric said and Jessie froze before looking at Megan, "Go, I'll go find someone." Megan ordered and Jessie nodded before going off with Alaric. They came into a hallway and carried on walking, "Where is he Ric?" Jessie asked confused before he just stopped and laughed.
"I'm so sorry for what I'm about to do sweetheart, but I can't risk you getting in the way." He said before everything went black.
Bonnie and Elena saw Jessie out cold with a gash on her head, laying on the ground, "Alaric… what's happened to Jessie?" Bonnie asked concerned and went to sit near her checking she was ok, "She's just out cold. Don't she'll be fine soon enough. But it's you that won't be." Alaric said smirking.
Jessie began to wake up and went she did she saw Alaric being flung back into the lockers, "Jessie? Jessie?" Elena said and went next to her while Bonnie dealt Alaric and flew him into the trophy wall, "Come on, we need to go." Elena urged and helped Jessie to stand up, Jessie's head went all fuzzy and she went blind for a moment before her she could see again and she began to run with Elena and Bonnie but kept tripping every now and again.
"What happened?" Damon asked seeing Jessie leaning on Elena's shoulder, "Klaus is in Alaric's body and he knocked Jessie out cold," Elena explained, "What?" Damon asked confused and took Jessie from Elena letting her lean against him, Jessie kept blinking to get rid of the colours in her eyes.
"He's like possessing it of something," Bonnie said, "You need to find Stefan. Now, now." Damon said to Elena as he bit into his wrist and gave it to Jessie who drunk the disgusting metallic blood before he pulled away, "You going to be able to do it?" Damon asked Bonnie as Jessie started to look a little better. "He's got some kind of protection spell on him," Bonnie said.
"You have the power of a hundred witches, break it." Damon ordered, "I'm trying but if I kill Alaric, he'll just possess someone else. He knows that I have my power Damon, he's trying to kill me." Bonnie replied.
Damon shook his head, "No… Klaus does not get to win tonight, you still willing to do whatever it takes to kill him?" He asked and Bonnie nodded her head while Jessie just closed her eyes feeling very tired. She drowned out the voices of Bonnie and Damon not knowing what they were saying which was exactly what Damon was hoping for before Bonnie left and Damon picked Jessie up bridal style.
"You hang in there JJ." Damon whispered and Jessie woke up from her strange nap feeling a lot better, "I'm fine now." Jessie murmured and got out of Damon's arms and looked for Bonnie,"Where's Bonnie?" Jessie asked confused. "She's doing what she has to do." Damon replied and Jessie felt dread go through her, "No. No Damon, get Bonnie out of here, now. She can't die." Jessie began to rant but Damon just shook his head and took her arm to where Elena and Stefan were coming and they began to question him as well.
"Come on Jessie," Elena said and took her hand and they began to run to find out where Bonnie was, they found her in the canteen area bit.
Bonnie shut the door on them and Jessie shouted, "Bonnie no!" With Elena to her. Stefan, Elena and Jessie tied kicking the and banging the door down when the lights were sparking everywhere and Bonnie looked at Jessie and Elena with blood coming down from her nose, "Bonnie! Bonnie!" Jessie shouted and tried kicking the door. She went to attack Alaric again but she just fell to the floor and all the lights went out, "No!" Elena screamed and they all ran into the room where the doors opened. Jessie felt tears falling from her eyes when she fell next to Bonnie and took her wrist trying to find a pulse but couldn't.
"No, no, Bonnie. Bonnie, hey, hey. Stefan she's not breathing, Stefan, I can't… I can't find a pulse. Stefan do something please, Stefan please just give her blood just do something please!" Elena cried and Jessie just looked at Bonnie, "It's too late. I'm sorry." Stefan said quietly and Jessie fell backwards and felt the tears fall silently down her face as she looked at Bonnie laying dead on the floor.
"No, no, no no. No, Bonnie please stop. No, no, no, no." Elena cried and Jessie just watched before looking at Damon coming in. He looked at Jessie's tears that were falling from her face and felt guilty, "Stefan get Elena and JJ out of here. I'll deal with Bonnie." Damon said and Jessie glared at him, "What do you mean deal with it?" Jessie snapped angry. "The sheriff can't know about this, the last thing we need is a last mysterious death." Damon said coming over, "This is Bonnie!" Jessie yelled at him tears still falling from her big green eyes, "Get them home. Now." Damon ordered.
"Hey, hey, hey, Jessie, Elena, come on." Stefan said and took Jessie gently by the arm and the same with Elena, he wrapped an arm around Jessie's waist while the other was around Elena's shoulders, "What about Jeremy?" Elena asked, "I'll get him." Damon replied before Stefan pulled the two upset girls away and drove them to the Salvatore boarding house.
Jessie took the headband away from her hair and threw it onto the table before falling onto Stefan's bed feeling hollow. She didn't want to be with Elena and Stefan, she just likes to deal with things on her own.
Jessie ran a hand through her straightened hair and wiped at the tears on her face, "Come on, no more crying… no more crying." Jessie said to herself and wiped the tears away harshly before crossing her legs on Stefan's bed and wrapped the blanket around her shoulders. Stefan came in a few minutes later with a hot chocolate, "Hey, Jessie. Here drink this," He said sitting on the bed next to her, "Thanks, you need to go see Elena now. I'm fine." Jessie said giving him a small smile before drinking the hot chocolate trying not to think about Bonnie, "Yeah you do know that I don't believe that right? I know you Jessie, you deal with deaths differently. You block everything out and act like your fine before that all crashed down and you began helpless. This isn't going to happen ok?" Stefan said and Jessie gave him a small smile, "I just… Damon… he sent her into her death knowing that she'll die, he didn't stop her." Jessie whispered and Stefan pulled her into a hug.
They stayed like that for a few minute before Stefan pulled away, "You going to be ok? You're sleeping here tonight. You don't have a choice, really." Stefan said smiling softly and Jessie nodded her head giving a smile, "I'll be fine." Jessie whispered, "Oh here you go, I went to your house earlier and got your some clothes to wear," Stefan said and Jessie raised an eyebrow, "Perv." She stated and he rolled his eyes, "Shut up. Get a shower, change and then get some sleep ok." Stefan said and Jessie nodded her head, "Yes Dad." She said smirking and he winced before leaving. Jessie sighed before getting the clothes and going into Stefan's room and getting a shower. After washing, she changed into the dark wash jeans and blue t-shirt, leaving her hair down to dry. Jessie went to a spare room and put her dress also some clothes to sleep in on the bed before going into the hallway and seeing Damon. She frowned before going up to him and slapping him, "Ok… I guess I deserved that." Damon muttered and Jessie nodded her head, "Yeah you did. You let Bonnie die!" Jessie accused while Damon just rolled his eyes, "Look witchy isn't dead. She put a spell on herself to stop from dying. We needed Klaus to make it look like she was actually dead, the reactions had to be real." Damon said and began to walk away but Jessie held him back and slapped him again, "What was that for?" Damon asked annoyed.
"You didn't tell me that she wasn't going to die you ass." Jessie snapped and slapped him one last time before going into the spare room and texting her mom saying that she was staying at Stefan's house tonight.
Jessie was playing doodle jump on her phone when Elena came into her room, "Come with me." Elena whispered and Jessie frowned before getting up and left with Elena who kept looking around.
They went into the basement and Elena opened the door where Elijah was stored, "Elena… 'Lena… no." Jessie whispered as she knelt beside him and pulled the dagger out.
"He's going to bloody murder me!" Jessie whispered looking at Elijah's body.
