Founder's Day was going to be interested. What the girls had agreed on was going to be Mystic Falls Through The Ages. Caroline was wearing an 1860s dress and Elena was in a similar dress, through representing the 1890s or something. Amber had dropped out so Tina was taking her place, dressed in 20s clothes, Blair was representing the 80s and Jessie being queen would represent present day. She put on an elegant golden gown that went to the floor and covered her shoes. She had a matching scarf draped over her shoulder and her hair was pinned up. It was definitely lovely.

In Town Square, Anna came across Jeremy who was dressed as a Confederate soldier.

"How are you doing?" Jeremy asked. "I heard the news. I feel awful."

"Why? You didn't kill my mother. Your uncle did." Anna explained.

"You don't know it was him." Jeremy told her.

"Who else would have done it?" She inquired. "So I take it from your outfit that you're not going to be standing next to Caroline."

"Matt's off today." Jeremy explained. He then turned his head and Anna also turned her head. The two of them both noticed Jessie in her dress with her Miss Mystic Falls sash.

"Hey." Jessie greeted them.

"Wow." Anna commented.

"So I kind of wish that I could have you up there standing beside me." Jessie replied. "It would make me feel less stupid."

"I don't think the town would be ready for something like that." Anna replied. "Plus, I don't want to be center of attention like that."

"Well I need to go find Tyler then." Jessie stated. "By the way Jeremy, you need to make up with your sister. Trust me sibling bonds are a good thing and you can't keep hating Elena for trying to protect you."

Jessie found Tyler with Caroline. Matt walked away almost immediately when he showed up.. The two were conversing as she walked up.

"I said I was sorry." Tyler remarked.

"You made out with his mom and beat him to a pulp." Caroline pointed out. "It's going to take a whole lot more than sorry."

Jessie stood beside Tyler.

"I have to admit, you look nice cleaned up." Jessie told him, noticing his tux.

The parade started not that long after. Jessie's role was basically waving to the watchers. She was pretty bored by it. However, the idea of hers was pretty well-received. She did kind of like the attention that was given to her. She also managed to see Damon waving to Tina before he went to talk to Bonnie.

"What are you doing?" The witch asked.

"Just watching my girlfriend in the parade." Damon remarked as Bonnie began to walk away. "Where are you going?"

"Away from you." Bonnie replied.

"I just want to tell you something." Bonnie replied.

"What's he saying to her?" Tina whispered in her sister's ear.

"He's thanking her for something." Jessie whispered back. No one else seemed to think their whispering was unusual. Though, the young vampire began to feel a bit weary based on Bonnie's demeanor.

Anna managed to infiltrate the remaining tomb vampires. She wanted them to at least think that she was on their side. She needed to know what they were doing so she could tell Jessie about it.

After the parade was over, Jessie had changed back into civilian clothes. She wore a brown top and jeans. It felt nice to be wearing something that she didn't have to worry about tripping over. She walked into the Grill and happened to come across Alaric of all people.

"So I'm going to say that I thought you looked really in your dress." He told her.

"You just had to wait until I was in a relationship to show interest in me." Jessie joked. He didn't laugh at it. "Okay, but thank you. Now I have to see if I can find my girlfriend."

The next person that she found however was Blair. Her sister apparently wanted to talk to her.

"So what were you and Tina whispering about on the float?" Blair asked.

"It was just something about Damon." Jessie explained. "She asked me what I thought about him."

"What did you say?" Blair then asked.

"I told him that while Damon has a bit of an…unpredictable side, I like him." Jessie lied on the spot. She actually didn't feel that strongly either way about Damon, but she did believe he would treat Tina right. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Blair answered. "Mom's just experiencing some neck pain. She wants to see about staying for the rest of the night, but Dad is thinking about having me drive her home."

Afterwards, Jessie finally found Anna.

"There you are." She said. "I've been looking all over for you."

Anna didn't exactly look happy to see her.

"What's wrong?" Jessie asked.

"The rest of the tomb vampires are attacking tonight." Anna explained.

"What?" Jessie asked.

"They want revenge on the founding families and they plan to attack as soon as the fireworks go off." Anna added. "I'm not sure what to do to stop them, though."

"Let me go find my dad and tell him about it." Jessie replied.

Anna went to find her father. She found him in the Grill.

"Dad I have something that I need to tell you." Jessie remarked before she was hit with the smell of blood. "Are you…bleeding?"

He lifted his pant leg up. "Yeah, I kind of wasn't watching where I was going when I trying to make a video of the parade and ran into a sign, but I'm fine." Hank replied before her looked up and saw the veins forming under his daughter's eyes. "Jessie, you're…"

"Dad, I can explain." She replied. She didn't want him to find out. She didn't know what he was going to do to her.

"You need to go home, right now." Hank ordered.

"What?" Jessie asked in surprise. She wasn't expecting him to say that.

"As soon as the fireworks go off, John Gilbert is going to set off a machine that harms vampires." Hank explained. "You need to be long gone before that happens."

"But that machine doesn't work Dad." Jessie responded. "It's been deactivated by a spell."

"Well you need to be gone regardless." He told her. "I'm going to have Blair drive Tina and your mother home, but you need to get a head start. They're going to burn the vampires in the old drug store and I don't want you to be here. This is all I can do to protect you. Please, don't what I say and go home."

"Can you try to find Anna?" Jessie requested.

"I'll try, but I can't promise anything." Hank told her. Jessie quickly began to walk away and once she was far enough, she sped off to the new house. Some movers had filled it with their stuff while they were at the parade. She found her new room which had a larger bed. She really hoped that her father would be able to protect Anna. She couldn't bear for her to be killed. Hopefully the invention wouldn't work and Anna would be fine.

After a while, Anna began to get concerned when Jessie didn't come back, and began to look for Jeremy. She managed to find him in the Grill. She noticed the mayor telling Tyler to take Matt and Caroline home, which made her nervous.

"Have you seen Jessie?" She asked. "She went to talk to her dad a few minutes ago and I haven't really seen her since."

"What's going on?" Jeremy asked.

Anna pulled him into the girls' bathroom.

"The tomb vampires are here. I need to get you out of here as soon as I find Jessie." Anna explained.

The mayor began his speech. Hank was on the stage. The mayor set off the fireworks and at the same time, John Gilbert set off the device.

Jessie sat in her room when suddenly she heard a high screeching. It was deafening. She grabbed her ears in pain.

Blair was driving to the house when suddenly she also heard the sound.

"What's that sound?" She asked.

"What sound?" Carla asked.

"I don't hear anything." Tina added.

"How can you not hear that?" Blair asked. "It's so loud."

Blair had to take her hands off the wheel to cover her ears and it wasn't helping.

"Blair what are you doing?" Carla asked.

"It hurts." Blair complained. Carla was unable to get control of the vehicle before it collided with a tree.

In the bathroom, Anna also began to hear the noise. Jeremy look confused, not knowing what was going on.

"Make it stop!" Anna cried. "It hurts. I don't know what it is, but make it stop."

Some of the deputies did what they were doing to everyone that went down. They grabbed her and injected her with vervain. Jeremy couldn't do anything to stop them from doing it to her. He didn't know where they were taking her.

After a few minutes, the ringing stopped. Jessie got up. The device must have worked. She decided to call her dad.

"Thank God you made it." Hank told her. "So you're safe and at home?"

"Yeah." Jessie answered. "Did you find Anna?"

"Jessie, I'm changing my view. She did this to you. You can't be with her." Hank explained.

"Dad, please I love her!" Jessie shouted. "Did you save her?"

"No." Hank replied. Jessie hung up her phone began to run. She began to run to the old drug store as fast as she could.

Anna was lying on the floor of the basement. Damon and several of the other vampires were there with her. Also, the mayor was there. It must have been true. The Lockwood family must have had the werewolf gene. One of the deputies began to douse the room with gasoline. She tried to grab John as he walked by. John only smirked at her and prepared to stake her.

Jessie killed the deputy as soon as he went up. She rushed down the stairs and managed to snap John's neck before he could plunge the stake into Anna. She didn't care if he would come back. She just needed to get Anna.

She pulled Anna up and began to drag her along up the stairs before the fire began to spread.

"What about me?" Damon asked.

"Sorry, Damon, but you're a lot less important to me than her." Jessie explained. "Come on we'll get out of here."

She found her dad standing outside.

"Dad, please I had to save her." Jessie begged, hoping her father would understand. "I love her. I love her. I love her. I could not let her die. You have to understand."

"Jessie, Tina called and told me that they were in a car accident." Hank cut her off.

"What?" Jessie asked.

"Blair suddenly started to complain about a sound as soon as the device went off that Tina and your mother couldn't hear." He explained. "She couldn't maintain control of the vehicle."

"Dad, Blair wasn't a vampire." Jessie replied. "I know because I was able to compel her and I frequently saw her drinking that vervain tea, including this morning. So is everyone okay?"

"Tina is definitely fine." Hank said. "Blair seemed to be okay, other than something with her eye, but your mother is in really bad shape. She might make it to the hospital."

"If I can get there in time, my blood can heal her." Jessie explained. "If you take Anna home for me, I'll go to the hospital and see if I can save her. Please don't stake her."

Jessie handed her barely conscious girlfriend to her father and began to run again. She knew that she should probably help Damon, but her mom was of higher concern to her.

She made it to the hospital as soon as possible. She found Blair and Tina were in the waiting room.

"Is she okay?" Jessie asked.

"Where were you?" Blair asked accusingly.

"I was at home because Dad told me to go there." Jessie explained. "What happened?"

"I was driving when I this loud shrieking sound." Blair explained. "Mom tried to control of the car when I lost it, but I hit a tree and she flew out the windshield."

"Is she okay?' Jessie asked hopefully.

"No." Tina answered. "She's dead. DOA."

Jessie felt her world stop. She needed to go home. She just needed to see Anna and now she needed some comfort. She rushed out the door. Blair was confused how she moved so quickly.

"I'll explain later." Tina promised.

Jessie arrived home just as Hank arrived with Anna. She was glad at least that he had brought her there.

"Did you go to the hospital?" Hank asked.

"Dad, I think we need to go inside." Jessie replied as they walked in. She set Anna on the couch so she could rest. She then walked into the new kitchen with her father.

"Well I have bad news and I have worse news." Jessie explained. "The worse news is that mom was brought in dead on arrival."

"What's the bad news then?" Hank asked in shock.

"I saw Mayor Lockwood in the building and when I was in the ER, I managed to overhear that Tyler was in a car crash as well." Jessie explained.

"Jessie, I don't see what this has to do anything." He declared.

"Dad, if the mayor and Tyler were both affected by the device for some reason. Blair was also affected by the device. I can't be positive, but this seems like too big of a coincidence to be anything else."

"Are you about to say what I think you're going to say?" Hank asked.

"Yes." Jessie replied. "I think that Mayor Lockwood is…or was if he was killed in the fire, Blair/s father. Mom must have cheated on you around the time Tina was conceived. The only question is if the Lockwoods weren't vampires, what were they?"

At the time, the two of them heard Anna mumble something. Even Jessie's advanced hearing couldn't pick it up. She had to get closer. She sat on her knees in front of the couch.

"Now could you please whatever it was that you said again?" She requested as she held Anna to close to her. Looking at them, Hank could see that Jessie really did love her.

"Werewolves." Anna remarked.

And there's that development that I talked about. Blair is a werewolf. The reason that I killed off Jessie's mom is that I literally had no idea what to do with her. No Katherine in the chapter, but there will be plenty of her in the next one. Jessie won't be able to avoid her. Please don't forget to review.
