-General POV-
The morning after Rebecca was undaggered, they found themselves at a clothing store. Klaus and Stefan were relaxing on lounge chairs as they sipped champagne. In the dressing room, Jessica and Rebecca were trying on clothes.
"I don't see why I have to try clothes on to." Jessica complained to Rebecca.
"Because you're my sister." Rebecca said. They weren't blood sisters, but they were close enough to be sisters.
"But you know I don't like wearing dresses..." Jessica groaned. Rebecca gave her an annoyed look. "I only wore them because jeans weren't invented yet." Rebecca looked at Jessica and the dark blue dress she was wearing.
"You look good in that dress..."
"I know, but I'd rather have it in red." Jessica said before stepping out of the dressing room. "What do you think?" She asked Stefan.
"I like it." Stefan said and Jessica knew he was being honest. She smiled a little and went by him. Stefan handed her his glass of champagne and she took a sip.
"Thanks..." She said.
"There has to be more to this dress." Rebecca shouts from the dressing room.
"There's not." Jessica said. "Now get out here and show your brother who has the good looks in the family." She added and earned a glare from Klaus.
"Don't look at me like that." She said with a smirk before Rebecca walked out.
"So woman in this century dress like prostitutes then?" Rebecca asked.
"She does..." Klaus said and pointed to Jessica.
"Hey!" Jessica said, acting offended. She went over to him and downed his glass of champagne. Then she took the bottle and walked back to Stefan. Rebecca held out her hand and Jess gave her the bottle.
"Give it back..." Klaus said before Rebecca took a long sip.
"Just get another one." Jessica said.
"Why are you so grumpy?" Rebecca asked her brother.
"I needed one thing from you for my witch to find out why my hybrids are dying and you lost it." Klaus said.
"I didn't lose it..." Rebecca said "...it's just been missing for 90 years." Jessica smiles a little before sitting on Stefan's lounge chair. "So..how do I look?" Rebecca asked as she turned a little.
"I like it." Stefan said and Jessica couldn't help but look at him. He looked at Jessica, then back at Rebecca. "What? I said I liked it." Stefan said when he noticed Rebecca didn't seem satisfied.
"I can always tell when you're lying Stefan..." Rebecca walked back into the dressing room.
"Nice one, good work." Klaus said after getting a new bottle of champagne.
"You're the one who pulled the dagger out of her." Stefan said.
"I heard that." Rebecca shouted and Jessica smiled.
"Alright, I'm going out for some fresh air." Stefan started to get up and accidentally brushed his hand against Jessica's back. She tried to hide a blush as Stefan walked out.
Jessica leaned against the chair, relaxing into it. Klaus looked over to Jessica and noticed something.
"You're still wearing his necklace." Klaus said. Jessica looked at her necklace and held it in her hand.
"The last thing I got from Kol before you daggered him." Jessica started. "I have to wear it." She added because it let her walk in the sun. Jessica took a sip and got up. "I'm changing out of this dress." She said and went to the dressing room.
Jessica quickly found a pair of jeans and a tank top to wear. She looked over to Rebecca, who was still looking for something to wear.
"Just go with this..." Jessica suggested. She put down her clothes and picked some out for Rebecca.
"I like it." Rebecca said and looked at Jessica. "You should decide all my outfits."
"How about no?" Jessica replied with a small smile before changing.
After they were done, Jessica followed Rebecca and Klaus to Gloria's bar. She laid on the bar behind the two as she played angry birds on her phone. Jessica exited the game when she kept failing.
"I don't see why I can't help." She whispers to Klaus so Gloria can't hear.
"Go ahead..." Klaus said, but Jessica didn't go over to Gloria. Instead, she moved so she was sitting on the bar. Jessica was about to say something when Stefan came in.
"You left us." Rebecca said when she saw him.
"Sorry." Stefan said. "Retail therapy was making my head explode."
"Tell me about it." Klaus and Jessica said at the same time. "I hate shopping for clothes." Jessica said. Stefan walked towards them.
"What's she doing?" He asked as he looked at Gloria.
"She's failing." Jessica said.
"It's hard to find something when you have nothing to go on." Gloria said and Jessica rolled her eyes.
"So use me." Rebecca said as she started to walk over to Gloria. "I only wore the thing for a thousand years."
"See, now this one offers a solution." Gloria said and Jessica leaned to Klaus.
"I offered one." She whispered.
"But you didn't do anything." He whispered back and she sighed. She didn't see the look they were getting from Stefan.
"Just give me your hand." Gloria said to Rebecca. Jessica watched them from behind Klaus, wondering if Gloria could actually find the necklace.
"She's looking for the necklace?" Stefan asked.
"Yeah, and failing." Jessica mutted before getting off the bar to pour herself a drink.
Jessica starts to mix a few things together.
"Are you going to share?" Klaus asked her.
"Nope." She said without looking at her.
"I can sense something." Gloria said, which made Jessica look up. She watched as Gloria said a spell. "I found it." She said after a minute.
"Took you long enough." Jessica muttered quietly enough so Gloria couldn't hear. Jessica went back to work on her drink.
"So where is it?" Rebecca asked.
"It doesn't work like that doll." Gloria said. "I get images. There is a girl with her friends..."
"A dead girl with dead friends if I don't get my necklace back." Rebecca said to Gloria.
"I almost forgot how serious your sister is." Jessica whispered to Klaus. Rebecca sent her a glare, which made Jessica put her hands up in defence.
"I would have to dive back in for more details." Gloria said to Rebecca.
"So dive." Klaus said as he stood and walked towards Gloria.
"She needs more time Nik." Jessica said from behind the bar with her finished drink.
"She's right..." Gloria said as Klaus closed the space between him and Gloria. "And space. You're harshing my ju-ju." Jessica chuckled a little as she started to drink from the glass.
"We can wait." Klaus said and Jessica shook her head. 'Still impatient' She thinks to herself.
"I'm sure you can, but that's not what I asked." Gloria said.
"Why don't we just come back later?" Stefan asked as he walked closer to Klaus. "I'm hungry anyway. I'll even let you pick who we eat..." Jessica pouted a little because she knew Klaus would probably pick someone ugly for her. Someone with a unibrow. Jessica shook her head.
"I'm picking my own person." Jessica said before anyone could say anything. Rebecca and Klaus looked at each other as Stefan started to walk out. When they started to leave, Jessica downed the drink she made before following.
Jessica knew along with Stefan that the necklace that was Rebecca's was with Elena. She didn't say anything because she knew what Klaus would do.
They went back to the warehouse once they found people to eat. Jessica sat on the couch next to Klaus as she drank from the man she picked out. She purposely drank slow so she could savor the taste of this blood. It was something Kol taught her.
"My girls dead." Rebecca said. "I'm bored."
"Next time drink slower." Jessica said as she wiped her thumb around her lips. She sucked on it so she wouldn't waste the blood.
"You weren't kidding about being hungry." Klaus said to Stefan, who was still feeding on his girl.
"Yeah, well it's been a long day." Stefan said.
"Wait until you've known them for 200 years." Jessica said with a small smile.
"Try being related to her." Klaus said and nudged his head towards Rebecca. Jessica looked at Rebecca before hearing Stefan chuckle.
"You're being mean." Rebecca said to her brother. "And why are you being mean? You used to love me."
"It's been ninety years, give him a minute." Klaus said to his sister before Jessica started drinking on her guy.
"Why are you taking his side?"
"Because dear sister, I feel pity for any man who doesn't give you want you want."
"Will you stop making me out to be a brat? I am not a brat."
"A thousand years of life experience says otherwise." Stefan chuckled.
"You're no picnic either." Stefan said to Klaus. "I've only spent one summer with you and I already want to blow my head off."
"Fantastic." Rebecca said with a smile as she looked at Stefan. Stefan pushed the girl off of him that he was feeding on.
"I need to go." He said and Jessica lifted her head again. She watched as Stefan started to walk away. Her eyes landed on Stefan's butt as he walked away.
"Jess..." Rebecca said, using one of her nicknames. It took a minute before Jessica turned to Rebecca. "I know that look..." Rebecca added, referring to how Jessica was watching Stefan as he left. "Did you have a relationship with Stefan?" She asked, trying not to sound jealous.
"Yeah.." Jessica said. "After Klaus daggered Kol, I did some traveling and ended up in Chicago after the shooting at Gloria's." She explained. "And yes, one thing lead to another and we were a couple. He broke it off."
"And Kol?" Rebecca asked. Jessica unconsciously held the necklace she was wearing.
"I..." She began to say and remembered Klaus could hear them. "...I'm not going to talk about Kol with your annoying ass of a brother right here." She said and pointed to Klaus, who rolled his eyes.
"Because you know I would tell Stefan everything you say." Klaus said and Jessica glared at him.
"Shut up." Jessica said to him and stood. "I'm going or a walk." She added before walking away.
Jessica went to her old apartment and grabbed a small box she had hidden for years. Inside it was small things that were important to her and that she knew she would need. It wasn't small enough to fit in her pocket so she carefully carried it. Jessica couldn't help but look around her old apartment and realize she hasn't changed much since the 20's. She saw and old picture of her and Stefan so she carefully put it in the box so she would have it. She sighed and looked around her room one last time before before leaving.
Jessica took her time walking back to the warehouse. She wasn't exactly in a hurry to get back to Klaus. 'This city hasn't changed' Jessica thinks to herself as she looked around. As she walked she couldn't help but remember when she got into a Bon Jovi concert with Stefan and Lexi. 'That was fun' She thinks and feel someone behind her.
"Why are you following me?" Jessica asked without looking at the person.
"Do I need a reason?" Klaus asked as they continued to walk. "I need your help."
"Oh, now you need it." Jessica said as she shook her head.
"Gloria's gone." He said to her. "I need another witch."
"And what makes you think another witch will help?" Jessica asked. Klaus grabbed her arm, stopping her as he moved in front of her.
"Kol." Jessica stared at Klaus and sighed in defeat.
"Fine." She said and Klaus smirked. "But I get to undagger him whenever I chose without you coming after either of us." He looked at Jessica and nodded. "Or anyone that will be on a list." Jessica added, knowing how Klaus and his siblings would work around loopholes.
"Deal." Klaus said and they began walking again.
Klaus and Jessica walked back to the warehouse together. They saw Stefan and Rebecca standing near each other. Jessica couldn't help but look between them, feeling that something was odd between them.
"Gloria's gone." Klaus said to them. "She cleared out. We need to go." He added, not saying he already got more help. Klaus looked between his sister and Stefan. "What's going on?"
"Something's wrong." Rebecca said and Jessica looked at them with curiosity. "He was asking about Mikeal." Jessica tensed a little bit, knowing all about Mikeal from Kol. "He's not with us Nik. I can sense it." Jessica looked between Stefan and Rebecca. She didn't see that Klaus's expression changed. Stefan looked at Jessica and then back to Klaus.
"She's wrong." Stefan said. "Klaus..." Klaus sped over to Stefan and snapped his neck in anger. Jessica looked at Stefan lying on the ground. She didn't notice that Klaus turned to her. After a minute she looked up and saw Klaus staring at her.
"How am I supposed to know what Stefan is hiding?" She asks. "I haven't seen him since last year. A lot can happen in that time." Klaus looked at her for a minute, then looked at his sister.
"You're coming with." He said and picked up Stefan.
Jessica kept the box close to her as Klaus had them driven somewhere in a truck. She sat on Kol's coffin and had her eyes on Stefan. He would be okay, she knew that.
"You're not going to kill him, are you?" Jessica asked without looking at Klaus.
"Why would you think that luv?" He asked.
"Because you're you?" Jess asked as she looked at Klaus. Klaus smirked a little.
"I won't kill Stefan." Klaus said as Stefan woke up. "We were just talking about you." Klaus said to Stefan. Stefan moved and faced Klaus, still on the floor of the truck.
"Just give me a chance to explain myself, okay?" Stefan asked, not knowing what Klaus was going to do to him.
"No need." Klaus said as he looked at Stefan. "I'm not mad, I'm just curious. Rebecca seems to think you're holding onto something. A pieces of your old life. The thing is, she's got flawless instincts, borderline supernatural. So I thought I would check it out. See for myself what it is you've been hiding." Jessica couldn't help but look at Klaus with interest, not knowing what he was up to. It worried her a little. Stefan looked at Jessica and noticed the look on her face. He became a little worried as he slowly stood up. Klaus opened up the back of the truck, revealing a town. He looked at Jessica before looking at Stefan. "Welcome back to Mystic Falls Stefan." He said before Stefan started walking to the back of the truck. Jessica stayed on top of Kol's coffin as she looked out the back of the truck at Mystic Falls.
