The Mute Lockwood
Chapter 37
A/N: so for those saying that Jessie being a werewolf shouldn't she not be compelled, my bad anyway just miss that bit out also I thought that Mason ingested vervain? If it is wrong then I apologised but the reason behind it, I just thought of one ;) Jessie was a newly turned werewolf it only works after her first transformation before she is a fully complete werewolf, make sense? But yay nearly on the chapter where Kol enters... the Mikaelson ball... aw you all think that Jessie won't go, that's cute ;) don't worry she is going hehe... Kol makes quite an appearance on her ;) now the next chapter, where she is in Denver, is very long and rushed before she heads back to Mystic Falls so I again apologise in advance for that terrible chapter, I admit it wasn't one of my best as I kind of just wanted to get it out of the way and not drag it on.
Cerysclark, no of course you aren't bugging me, it's fine :) I still don't know whether or not to, I may decide on it later then I will put it up in an authors note.
Thank you all for the reviews, ahhhh I love you guys! Sorry for any confusion but I am new to writing fanfics, etc so therefore there will be mistakes and I apologise for them :) Sorry for any mistakes.

Our Town
"So yeah… moving to Denver with Jeremy… going to be a bit strange not being in Mystic Falls anymore. This is a new start, it will be good for me and for Jeremy to get away from all this crazy stuff going on." Jessie said before looking down and stood up from the chair that was in the room, "I'm talking to a bloody coffin, wow I really have gone insane." Jessie muttered and looked around the room filled with four coffins. She looked down at Kol's coffin again and looked around for Stefan he had gone out for a while to get Damon they were meant to meet Bonnie here soon and Jessie needed to be out of here by then. This was her goodbye to Kol. Jessie lifted the lid off of Kol's coffin and looked down at his grey body. "Not many people can pull off the whole being dead thing and still look insanely handsome… but you can." Jessie mumbled and stroked his face slightly before shaking her head and putting the coffin lid back down with a loud thump. "Yep I have gone insane." Jessie said before quickly leaving the witches house, she doesn't know how she hasn't pulled the dagger out from him yet but it's been tough. She keeps seeing those strange visions of Kol telling her that he hates her yeah they aren't nice. But she's managed… kind of.
Jessie soon arrived back at her house and saw her mother crying again, Jessie sighed and went over to Carol and hugged her, "Mom I'm not going to be away for that long… it's going to be good for me, to get away from all this drama ok?" Jessie whispered and her mother sobbed but nodded her head, "I know sweetie. I'm just going to miss my baby girl." She wiped her tears then looked at her daughter, "Where have you been all morning?" Carol asked and Jessie gave a small smile, "Went for a walk. Can you give me a lift to school please? I need to get all my things out of my locker today and it's also Caroline's birthday." Jessie answered and went into the kitchen and poured herself some orange juice.
Carol nodded her head, "Of course sweetie. Still not talking to Tyler?" Carol asked.
Jessie shrugged, "It's complicated."
Carol nodded her head before looking at the time, "we should probably go." Jessie nodded her head and quickly finished her drink before grabbing her bag also Caroline's birthday present and followed her mom towards the car before going off to school.
Jessie went to her locker first and started to get everything out of it and put it all into her bag when Liam and Louise walked up to her, "Hey Jeremy is leaving town to stay with family friends in Denver and he said that you're going as well? Where's our goodbye?" Louise joked. Jessie smiled a little, "Hey guys… rem yeah it's for the best. Just need to get out of town for a while," Jessie smiled and Louise looked at her as if knowing something but said nothing until the bell rang.
"Ok well I guess this is goodbye… Jessie, text me when you get to Denver ok?" Liam said and Jessie smiled at the red faced dorky boy before hugging him quickly then he smiled at Louise before he left for class while Louise stayed behind.
"You and Liam, eh?" Jessie smirked and added more stuff from her locker into her bag while Louise laughed, "Yeah… How have you been since you know, killing the history teacher?" Louise asked quietly. Jessie shrugged, "Ok. How do you know everything?" Jessie replied, Louise looked around before saying, "Bonnie kind of knew that I was a witch… she's helping me out also she's filled me in on everything,"
Jessie frowned but nodded her head, "Oh. Well be careful, you don't want to get involved with all this Klaus business."
Louise smirked, "I dunno… Elijah was it? He's pretty cute." Jessie looked at Louise in shock, "You've seen Elijah?" Jessie asked.
Louise nodded her head, "Yeah I helped him out a few times when he came into town, lovely guy. Bonnie told me that Klaus daggered him?"
Jessie nodded her head as an answer, "Yeah he did… right in front of me. I guess that I could have un-daggered him but risk having being hunted down by the Hybrid? Yeah no thanks." Jessie replied and closed her locker.
"Heres my number, call me or text me anytime if you need something." Louise said and gave Jessie her number before looking at the time, "Late for class, oh well. Look I know that you might be pissed at Bonnie for breaking her promise to you about Mikael but she needed to do it, Klaus has ruined everything for everyone. Also I know about your past… and the Original brother, Kol was it?" Jessie looked at her shocked, "Be careful of him. The spirits talk, Jessie. And if Klaus un-daggers him… he's going to be trouble. Look I'll see you when you get back from Denver, have a great time!" Louise waved then left.
Jessie stared at her retreating form before feeling a tap on her shoulder and jumped before seeing Jeremy and he grinned at her, "Hey Jessie, want a lift to your house?" Jeremy asked.
Jessie looked down at Caroline's present in her hand, "Wait I need to find Care first, give me a sec. She's got History," Jessie said and Jeremy smiled and nodded his head before they both went to Alaric's classroom and Jessie looked in the window but didn't see Caroline and frowned before thinking of something, "Hey can you drive me to the cementry?" Jessie asked.
Jeremy frowned, "Cementry? Erm… sure. But you owe me an explanation, ok? Just make sure that you are ready and packed to leave tomorrow." Jeremy said and Jessie nodded her head, "sure." She replied before Jeremy drove her to the cementry.
Jessie grabbed her bag and Caroline's present and got out of Jeremy's car and waved at him before going off and finding Megan's grave and she saw Caroline by it. Jessie slowly and quietly walked up to the graze where Caroline was sitting by on her own, before Jessie sat down next to Caroline and looked at Megan's grave seeing fresh flowers at the grave. "I came here every week during the summer, while you were with Klaus and Stefan… I just came here telling her what was going on with you and everyone else, I find it pretty pathetic now that I think about it." Caroline laughed and wiped her eyes. Jessie shook her head, "It's not pathetic, Care. She was your cousin, she meant a lot to the both of us and Liz." Jessie replied.
Caroline nodded her head before looking at Jessie, "When did you last come here?" Caroline asked Jessie. Jessie bit her lip, "At the funeral… the first and last time I saw her grave. I just… I just didn't ever want to come here again, you know I never visit my dad's grave. I just want to forget about everything that has happened and move on, just forget all the bad things that have happened." Jessie replied honestly and Caroline looked at her, "Everyone keeps saying that you are going to break soon… with being a werewolf everything is heightened just like being a vampire… Jessie it's ok to come and visit them, you need to move on, yes but you can't move on until you know that it wasn't your fault that they died." Caroline said softly.
Jessie gave a small laugh, "I could have helped my dad in that basement fire… but I didn't… I could have made a deal with Klaus to not kill Megan… but I didn't. So yeah… it is my fault, Care."
Caroline shook her head, "Oh sweetie, it's not. You know Megan wouldn't want you to be thinking that it was your fault, yeah she was angry at you but she still loved you, honey. She wouldn't want you to live in regret and grid for the rest of your life."
Jessie gave a small smile and wiped her eyes, "I know that Care… but the thing is… I can't find it in myself to forgive myself for everything that has happened…" Jessie replied quietly and Caroline pulled her into a hug whispering, "It's going to be ok, Jessie. We'll make it through."
After a few minutes of silence Jessie let got of Caroline and gave Caroline her birthday present, "It's not much…" Jessie said and bit her lip while Caroline unwrapped it and there was a photo frame that Jessie had made with pictures of all the happy and good times before all this drama happened then in the middle was a picture of Liz, Caroline and Megan. Caroline stared at it before she started to cry, "I told you it was going to be rubbish." Jessie said deflated but Caroline shook her head, "No… no it's not that, Jessie," Caroline cried, "It's just… it's just perfect! Thank you so much." Caroline said sincerely and Jessie smiled before the girls hugged each other with Caroline's cries filling the empty cementry.
Jessie quickly checked her phone and saw a text from Elena, Hey I know that u r probably with Care, get her 2 her house plz? Birthday surprise x -Elena
Yeah sure, will be as quick as I can x -Jessie
"Who was that?" Caroline asked suspiciously, Jessie gave her an innocent smile, "no one important. Hey we should probably get you back to your house, I need to get to my house and finishing packing." Jessie said.
Caroline nodded her head, "Oh yeah. Hey you really sure that you want to go to Denver?" Caroline asked as they stood up, Jessie grabbed her bag and nodded her head, "Yeah… why do you ask Care?"
Caroline shrugged and said nothing while Jessie stared at her suspiciously but also said nothing before getting into Caroline's car. Caroline drove Jessie to her house and smiled at the younger girl, "I guess this is goodbye… I'll call you everyday and you better pick up, missy otherwise I'm coming to Denver for you. Also reply to all my texts, ok?" Caroline said sternly. Jessie grinned and kissed her cheek, "Thanks Caroline, and yes I will. I see you… whenever I'll see you. Have a great birthday," Jessie smiled before getting out the car with her bag on her shoulder and waved to Caroline before her car left the Lockwood estate and Jessie went into her house and up to her bedroom to finish packing but was shocked to see Kyle in her room.
"Your mom let me in," Kyle said quickly. Jessie frowned but nodded her head and out her bag onto her bed and looked at Kyle confused, "You never came to say bye to me so I came to you." Kyle explained.
Jessie shrugged, "I guess it slipped my mind… sorry." And started to put her clothes into a suitcase while Kyle stared at her, "What's going on Jessie? One minute we're fine and now you're giving me the cold shoulder? You didn't even tell me that you were leaving. Why?" Kyle asked confused.
Jessie rolled her eyes at him but carried on packing, "Look I've just been busy, ok? I'm moving to Denver with Jer so I'll text you sometime when I'm there."
Kyle frowned again, "Why the cold shoulder? I don't get it."
Jessie groaned and looked at him, "Look Kyle. Why don't you just leave, ok?" Jessie replied and looked at his perfect blonde hair and his shining grey eyes, no snap out of it Jessie, remember he's just your friend you can't have feelings for him anymore.
She shook her head and turned back around and finished packing her clothes when Kyle grabbed her arm and turned her around and looked at her green eyes carefully, "I'm just going to do this one thing… it will never happen again… I swear," He said quietly before kissing Jessie. Jessie froze before kissing him back then stopping herself and pushed him away and covered her face with her hands, "Oh my god… just get out…" Jessie mumbled.
Kyle looked at her, "Jessie-"
"Just get out. Now." Jessie shouted at him and he looked at her before nodding his head and left her bedroom then left her house. Jessie wrapped her arms around her, "What the bloody hell did I just do?" She whispered.
"JJ, where is your pretty ass?" Damon shouted before walking into Jessie's bedroom and saw her listening to music really loudly from the speakers. Damon smirked and turned the plug off while Jessie groaned, "Hey! What was that for?" Jessie asked. Damon shrugged, "I'm bored plus got to the Founder's party early and you mom asked me to tell you to turn the music down, also British guy is downstairs kissing ass to your mom."
Jessie groaned and rolled over to lay on her front and covered her face with her pillow, Damon jumped onto the bed and laid next to her, "what's wrong, JJ?" Damon asked her and flicked a curl. Jessie looked at him, "Kyle kissed me," She mumbled into the pillow and Damon shrugged, "That's a bad thing because…" He trailed confused.
"It's a bad thing because I shouldn't be kissing him back, D. It's not fair on…" Jessie trailed, "Not fair on, Kol right?" Jessie gave Damon a confused look, "Stefan told me." Damon explained and Jessie groaned, "Great is nothing a secret anymore?" She asked sarcastically and Damon smirked but shook his head, "This is Mystic Falls, JJ. You know nothing is ever a secret for long here," Damon smirked.
Jessie flipped him off before getting up, "Come on, we need to get downstairs. The dick Hybrid, is probably talking a load of BS to your mother." Damon said and Jessie smirked at him before getting off her bed and went downstairs with Damon's arm around her shoulders.
"Oh I hate Founder's parties." Jessie muttered, Damon nodded his head, "Same here, kiddo."
Jessie went over with Damon to Alaric who smiled at them two, "Got everything packed for tomorrow, Jessie?" Alaric asked. Jessie nodded her head, "Yep." She replied before looking down at the Wickery bridge.
"This is where Elena's parents died in a car accident, something's up with her. Elena, something more than usual, you know what it is?" Alaric asked Damon, Jessie looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "Well I'm sure that it starts with a Stef and ends with an 'an'." Damon replied.
"I'm going to go get another drink, right a cheque and then we're out?" Damon asked and Alaric nodded his head before Damon kissed Jessie's forehead then left.
Jessie looked at Alaric, "You think Elena and Damon kissed?" Jessie asked him quietly. He looked behind himself before nodding his head, "Oh yeah." He replied.
"Alaric Saltzman and Jessie Lockwood," Jessie turned around and saw Meredith Fell she helped treat Jessie when she was in her coma, "Hey Doctor Fell, erm I'm just gotta go. See you tomorrow, Ric. By Doctor Fell," Jessie smiled then left them two after giving Alaric a wink and he rolled his eyes at her.
Jessie found Damon again and took his drink taking a sip before he stole it back, "My drink. Get your own," He smirked before rolling his eyes and Jessie looked at his line of sight and saw Klaus talking to her mom, great.
Damon and Jessie walked over to them and Carol smiled at her daughter, "Look at what the cat dragged in, nice vest." Damon said and Jessie smiled at her mom.
"Well thank you very much, good to see you Damon and of course, Jessie." Jessie gave Klaus a sarcastic smile, "Err Carol and I were just discussing whether you be tonights other big benefactor." Klaus said looking at Damon after giving Jessie a wink.
"What do you say Damon? Klaus has made a very generous pledge. You know how we're chomping at the bid to begin the renovation." Carol said and sipped her drink, "Klaus being generous? Wow." Jessie said sarcastically.
"Hmm…" Damon nodded his head, "Carol don't take this the wrong way but did you realise that you have been kissing ass of an immortal hybrid who ruined your sons life and lets not forget, made Jessie into a werewolf?"
"Oh come now. Some might say that I saved him with all that nasty full moon business, I offered to make Jessie into a hybrid so she won't have to change very full moon but she turned me down." Klaus said then turned to Carol, "I've never had to go through it myself more than twice to be honest but still I'm very sympathetic."
Jessie rolled her eyes, "Please tell us another joke." Jessie said to Klaus who rolled his eyes at her, "Jessie." Carol said sternly.
"What, mom? He is constantly ruining out lives!" Jessie whispered harshly and glared at Klaus her eyes changing from yellow to green before she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"Klaus has promised to protect Tyler and you, Jessie. And our town." Carol replied, "From who? His hybrids are the ones that this town needs protection from," Damon butted in.
"Well I'd have no use for them if your brother will kindly return my family." Klaus said looking at Damon, "Not going to happen." Jessie said and Klaus looked at her confused before glaring slightly. "That's what I thought, which is why I've come to an agreement with the Mayor. You and the council stay out of my hair, I stay out of yours the town gets protected my hybrids get left alone and everybody will be happy." Klaus said looking at Jessie who rolled her eyes, "How about you just get out of town? Then everyone will defiantly be happy." Jessie snapped at Klaus who smirked. "All you have to do is get Stefan to stop decapitating my friends." Klaus finished.
"Please Damon, just get your brother under control or the council will be forced to take action." Carol said looking at Damon, "You've got to be kidding me." Damon replied.
"Oh come on mate, give peace a chance." Klaus smirked, "With you there will be no peace, Klaus." Jessie said.
"Jessie watch your manners, Klaus is trying to protect all of us." Carol said sternly.
Jessie rolled her eyes at her mom, "Mom we all need protection from, him." Jessie spat and glared at Klaus, "He's the one who killed Megan! Yeah remember her? My best friend? The girl who was like a sister to me? Also he killed Jenna, you do remember her as well right? What about Tyler having a normal life? Now he's sired to him." Jessie whispered harshly.
"JJ… watch it," Damon whispered quietly to her but she ignored him, "I need to speak with Liz. Don't do anything that you'll regret." Damon whispered again before giving Klaus a look then left.
"Jessie, not now. Not here." Carol pleaded.
"Careful sweetheart," Klaus said softly to Jessie and touched her arm but she pushed him away angrily before he grabbed her arms, "I'm just having a word with your daughter, Carol. Don't worry, she'll be fine." Klaus said an dragged Jessie off and into her dad's old office which was now her moms. He closed the door and looked at Jessie while she glared at him venomously, "Oh come on sweetheart. I know that you hate me, but let bygones be bygones and don't be so rude to your mother." Klaus said and crossed his arms.
Jessie flipped him off and went to walk out but he grabbed her arm and she aimed a punch with her free hand, towards his face but he easily blocked it and moved out of the way when Jessie went to kick him off her feet and held her hands behind her back, "Stop struggling, sweetheart. Your emotions are all over the place at the moment, but learn to control it otherwise I will compel you to." Klaus warned. Jessie rolled her green/yellow eyes, "Oh piss off also once I've turned for the first time, you won't be able to compel me ever again." She growled and tried to get free but he easily held her in his grip before she stopped struggling after five minutes.
"I am trying to protect you, Jessie. I know that you might not believe me but it's true. Oh sweetheart, you believe that? I will just threaten people you love and care about." Klaus said. Jessie said nothing until he let her go then she gave him one last glare before leaving the office and went to get a drink when someone covered her mouth, she struggled against the person before being put into a car and Stefan drove off quickly.
"Woah, what are you doing Stefan?" Jessie asked confused as he drove really quickly down the roads.
Stefan looked at her before calling Klaus an put his phone on speaker, "Stefan, great to hear from you. So when are you giving me the coffins?" Klaus asked through the speaker phone.
"When you get your hybrids out of town, Klaus." Stefan replied. "Well that's not going to happen." Klaus replied.
"What would you do if I gave Jessie my blood then drive her off Wickery bridge? Would she come back alive, or will she just be dead?" Stefan asked, "You wouldn't." Klaus said, "Oh yeah? Try me." Stefan said and bit into his wrist and fed Jessie his blood, Jessie swallowed it and tried to force him away.
"Say goodbye to Jessie, Klaus. Your blood source and coffins are the next to go." Stefan said, Jessie screamed as he sped up more, "Stefan! Stefan stop the car!" Jessie yelled at him.
"Stefan, stop the car." Klaus growled through the speaker phone, "Stefan! Stefan!" Jessie screamed. "Fine the hybrids will leave, now stop the bloody car!" Klaus yelled through the phone.
Jessie screamed as they turned towards going off the bridge when Stefan suddenly stopped the car and Jessie lurched forward before hearing the phone hang up.
Jessie stared at Stefan in shock before getting out the car, "Jessie get back in the car." Stefan said getting out again.
"Stefan you just tried to kill me! Elena and Jeremy's parents died going over this bridge, Elena nearly died then I nearly died going over this bridge! How could you!" Jessie shouted at him. Stefan looked at her, "I'm sorry, Jessie but I need him to give over and get the hybrids out of town, this was the only way. I knew how much he cared for you." Stefan replied.
Jessie stared at him, "Stefan what about us? I knew you since you were born!" Jessie said to him before walking away, "I said I'm sorry, Jessie. I really am. I just needed him to get the hybrids out of town! Look do you want a ride back?" Stefan asked. Jessie looked at him, "What do you think?" She said before he sighed and got back into his car and drove away.
Jessie wiped her eyes before she began to walk back to her house from Wickery bridge when a car pulled up beside her, "You want a ride, sweetheart?" Klaus asked. Jessie looked at him with tear filled eyes and nodded her head and got in.
"I still hate you." Jessie mumbled and wiped her eyes, Klaus chuckled, "I know that, love. Are you ok?" He asked. Jessie nodded her head, "I'm always going to be ok." She replied softly.
"I'm going to bloody kill him." Jessie growled when Tyler told her what had happened with him and Caroline, Tyler looked at his younger sister and hugged her, "Hey it's going to be ok. I've got an idea to break this sire bond, it's putting you all in danger. Are you sure that you are really ok from what happened tonight?" Tyler sake his younger sister. Jessie nodded her head giving him a small smile, "Of course I am, Ty. I need to get to bed because I'm really tired and I need to get sleep before tomorrow." Jessie replied.
Tyler nodded his head, "Yeah, sure. Sleep well, sis. Love you." He said, "love you too." Jessie replied and headed up to bed.
Jessie hugged her mom tightly, "I'm sorry for last night, mom." Jessie whispered. Carol gave a small laugh, "It's fine sweetie. I'm sorry as well." Carol replied and kissed her daughters head, "You be good ok?" Carol asked as Jessie pulled away. She nodded her head, "yeah." She replied smiling softly before going over and hugging her brother, "Hey cutie, look I know that we have had some tough times but I still love you ok?" Tyler said and kissed her head. "I know, Ty." Jessie whispered and hugged him tightly, "Hey, wear this ok?" Tyler asked and gave Jessie her vervain bracelet, "You found it." Jessie said smiling and Tyler put it on, "Yeah it was on the bleaches. Alaric is waiting, you better go. Be good and be safe." Tyler said and Jessie nodded her head smiling at her mom and brother before picking up her suitcase and bags then waved to them before going to Alaric's car and helped put her stuff in before getting in the back and waved to her family before they left her sight.
"You ok Jessie?" Alaric asked. Jessie looked at him and repeated what she said to Klaus, "I'm always going to be ok." She smiled and looked out the window.
"Why do we have to go on a plane?" Jessie complained to Jeremy as they sat down in the plane seat. Jeremy laughed and ruffled Jessie's hair, "because I'm not driving half way across the country, Jessie. Now shut up and stop complaining, it's going to be a long journey." Jeremy said and Jessie flipped him off before getting her earphones in and started to listen to music to calm her down, she hated planes.
After a few hours, Jeremy was waking Jessie up and she looked around hazily, "we here yet?" She asked sleepily and Jeremy nodded his head. "Yeah, come on." He said smiling and they both got off the plane and went to get their stuff before looking around the busy airport and saw the family friends, it was a young couple of mid-thirties and they looked friendly. They waved Jessie and Jeremy over to them and Jessie got nervous, "Hi Jeremy, Jessie, I'm Claire and this is my husband, Roy." Claire introduced and Jessie smiled at them softly while Jeremy grinned, "Yeah I remember you two. Jeremy you really have grown, so have you Jessie." Roy said and Jessie smiled, they met each other when Jessie and Jeremy were younger.
"Thanks, Roy." Jeremy grinned and smiled at Jessie who returned it. "So let's get your bags into the car, and get home." Claire smiled and helped Jessie with her bags while Roy helped Jeremy.
On the car ride to their house, Jeremy and Jessie talked about their new school and asked questions about Denver and the good take-out places.
Jessie felt nausea, here comes the homesickness. She gets really bad homesickness and being half way across the country, doesn't help her at all.
"Jessie, you ok?" Claire asked seeing Jessie go a little green, Jeremy looked at his best friend in concern, "Yeah, I am thank you Claire. Just got a little homesickness." Jessie smiled to show she was alright and Jeremy looked at Jessie giving her a look but she smiled at him to show that she was really ok.
She was going to be ok. Hopefully.
