"I'm sorry, but let's backtrack a second. Who the hell is 'Jacinta'?", Stefan finally spoke up, gaining everyone's attention. He had a point, so the four men looked to the girl moving to sit on the stone she was previously laid on.

"It's my name, but I-I haven't heard that name in a long time. I-I don't remember much. I remember my life with my village. My people were servants of nature, and were a quiet group of people. But they killed me. I don't even know why. They- They led me to one of our most prized gardens, and I was- . The pain it was-. And I-I remember falling in love, he - ", Jessikah stuttered not looking up for a bit, her head pounding painfully as she tried to search through her hazy memories. But then those blue eyes lifted up, and her gaze settled on what she thought was a familiar face.

Jessikah gasped, and almost passed out again. The face staring at her was one she never thought she'd see. The first face that stole her heart. The one that was in her happiest of memories.

"Silas!?"

Now.

Stefan looks at Jessikah utterly confused, but can't really bring himself to say anything at first. Jessikah rises from her seat and slowly walks to him. She stares at him with wide, curious eyes, and when Jessikah gets close enough, she reaches for his face.

Stefan stays still, watching her every move,

"Uhhh- No? I'm Stefan, Stefan Salvatore.", he speaks slowly. He had no idea who this 'Silas' guy was, but it was slightly hurtful that she had no idea who he was.

Damon, Nik and Elijah had no idea who she was talking about either, and they weren't pleased to hear her words laced with so much love. A wave of white-hot jealousy instinctively slices through their bodies, all three of them bristling at the thought of another man touching what was theirs.

Jessikah brought her hand to Stefan's cheek, and observed him for a moment longer. Then she shook her head, almost sad.

"No, No. Perhaps not.", she mutters before stepping out of the brooding vampire's personal space. His posture and mannerisms were not right. It was very obvious that this wasn't the man she thought he was. But for some reason he still seemed familiar to her. And that name was even more familiar.

The young woman racked her brain for where she knew him. And a long moment later, it clicked for her. Her bright blue eyes shoot up to his,

"Stefan Salvatore? I know you. I was alive when you were a kid. You came to visit Emily a lot. She would give you the prettiest flowers from the garden to give to your mother.", Jessikah spoke with a smile as she finally remembered something.

"Okay so she gets our first names, and a connection. But she remembers the first and last name and a memory from Mr. 'I'm the reason Bambi's in Witness Protection'? What is that?!", Damon whines loudly like a child. He was hurt that his love remembered more from his stupid brother.

Everyone except Jessikah raised their eyebrows in annoyance. Niklaus did everything he could to hide the smug smirk on his face, but failed majorly. He hated that Stefan got a bigger reaction than him and his brother, but it was hilarious to him that Damon was offended and was very verbal about it. It was like he was a toddler throwing a tantrum.

"Would you like a sippy cup and a naptime for that tantrum, Damon?", he chuckled out, gaining a harsh glare in return. Damon went to clap back, but the bell-like sound of Jessikah's giggle filled his ears. The sound instantly made him soften and smile dazedly at the girl. Klaus felt particularly proud he made her laugh, smiling widely. He shot a smug grin at Elijah and Stefan, who rolled their eyes at his shenanigans.
