Stefan staggered to the side, bumping into a random student, as he tried to walk down the hallway of the high school. 

"Sorry," he mumbled apologetically, raising his hand and shading his eyes from the painfully bright fluorescent lights along the ceiling. 

"Whatever, freak!" the student snapped rudely, shoving him back into the lockers behind him. 

The air rushed out of Stefan, with a weak whimper of pain. He sank down to the floor. panting heavily as a kick landed against his leg and stomach. He curled into a tight ball, hiding his face to avoid showing his eyes changing. 

The assailant laughed, finally ending the torment after roughly fifteen harsh blows. He walked away, poking fun with his buddies. He walked past Jeremy Gilbert, Elena's little brother, laughing about beating up a a tall, skinny guy.

Jeremy bolted down the hall, searching for whoever had been beaten up. He stopped short, his eyes widening when he saw Stefan still curled up in the fetal position. 

"Hey, Stefan, are you okay?!" He asked quickly, kneeling down beside the vampire in concern. He gently put his hand on Stefan's shoulder, immediately noticing that the vampire was shaking and warm to the touch. 

Stefan flinched, curling tighter as he tried to hide from Jer. 

"Hey, its alright. I'm not going to hurt you." Jer cooed sympathetically.

"Elena?" Stefan ground out, making it clear that he only wanted Elena. 

"Okay, I'll get her." Jer said quickly, jumping up and taking off down the hall. He ran down the halls, stopping at Mr. Alaric Saltzman's class. He knocked on the open door, briefly. 

"Yes, Jeremy?" Alaric asked, looking up from his desk. 

"Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Saltzman. I need Elena right now!" Jer said firmly, putting a hand to his stomach, as if to say he felt sick.

Alaric frowned, looking at Elena uncertainly. 

"Go ahead, Elena, take your brother to the nurse." He said calmly, giving her a look to imply that he didn't want her coming back to class.

Elena nodded briefly, gathering up her books and bag, and looked around for Stefan. She frowned slightly, wondering where he was. She walked over to Jer, leading him kindly down the hall. 

"I'm fine." Jer said, shrugging her off. "But someone else needs your help." he added, huffing softly. 

Elena glared at Jer, suspiciously.

"What's going on, Jer?" she demanded, putting her hands on her hips. 

"Just trust me. Come on." Jer said in annoyance. He led her down the halls, until he found Stefan again. 

Elena gasped softly, dropping to her knees beside Stefan. She touched his shoulder lightly, shocked that she could feel a fever pulsing through him. 

"What happened?!" she demanded of Jer, looking at him briefly with a flicker of fear in her eyes.

"A kid beat him up, for bumping into him." Jer explained quickly. "Stefan wouldn't let me help him, he only wanted you." he added thoughtfully. 

Elena's eyes narrowed angrily, making her look like she was about to kill someone.
