Hybrid In Debt.

Chapter 3 - start and end

When I woke up, I had sweat all over my forehead and felt really hot. I tried to get up, but I was too weak. I was worried - what if something happened to Kelsey? What if she died? What if I die with her? I felt heart-ache at the thought of dying... again. Especially if I was pregnant with probably the only baby I could ever have, being what I am.
I turn to my left, and saw Matt sleeping in a chair.

"Matt?!" I said loudly, trying to wake him up, but he didn't move.

"Matt?!!" I said, louder than the first time. I felt Kelsey kick me. I was happy for that, even though the kick was kind of hard, because that meant that she was okay.
Matt started rubbing his eyes and looked at me. He come over and stared at my face, like I had a booger or something.

"How do you feel? Do you need blood?" he said pulling, his sleeve up.

"I'm fine, thanks," I said, putting my fangs into his warm wrist. I drank and stop when I felt that it started hurting him. He was kind, and I didn't want to leave the poor kid blood dry. Even with my humanity, I could leave any human blood dry and not care.

"I should go now - I have to see my brothers." I got up, even though everything in my body ached. I walked towards the front door, turned the knob, and opened the door. I barely noticed that Matt was on my heels. I stepped outside, and I was walking down the street, when I fell to the ground. I was really dizzy. I didn't know why. I had blood in me. Nobody could hurt me, and I know Kelsey is fine already. What is going on?
I was so light-headed, I barely noticed that I was already in Matts' arms. He was carrying me bridal style back towards the house. He laid me down on the bed. I started to feel really hot and tired. I haven't done anything - just lay down - but when I get up, everything hurts. Why?
I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.

DREAM FLASHBACK TO MYSTIC FALLS 1864

This morning, Father told us we're having someone special coming to stay with us. I was walking downstairs, when I see my beloved brother, Stefan, playing with Damon. They were outside, playing this new game Damon taught us. Football. I love to play it. My brothers would always win, since they were a bit faster and stronger than me. I run to get the ball that Stefan just threw to Damon. I catch it first.

"Come and get me if you want it back!" I yell, running towards the back.

"Oh, Sister, we're faster than you. We'll get you in no time!" Damon says, Stefan right behind him.
I run and run the fastest I could, but then I felt a pair of arms snake around my waist, throwing me to the fluffy grass. The ball was taken away from my hands, and I felt four hands tickling me. I kicked and laugh, knowing that the two people tickling me were my brothers.
"Please!.....Please!....Stop!......I'm going to wet myself!" I said between laughs. I wasn't kidding, either - when I say I'm going to do something, i will do it. They kept on tickling and I kept laughing and kicking. Then, I kicked Damon in his jaw, and he falls to the ground with his hands on his jaw. I get up and rush over to him.

"Jazzy. You're getting stronger by the day." Damon says, examining me.

"I'm so sorry, I couldn't control it. I just don't like the tickles." I say, sitting down with him. He puts his arm around my shoulder, and I motion Stefan to sit next to me. The three of us have a moment of silence, just staring straight ahead at the woods. I clear my throat and I'm the first one to speak.

"Damon. Stefan. I don't want to get married."
I was thinking of the past two weeks. My father had arranged for me to marry George Lockwood. I never liked him. He was too... weird. I turn to look at Damon, who was on my right, just staring down at the grass. I then turn to look at my left, where Stefan was just playing with loose grass.

"I know you guys can't do anything about it, but I don't love him." I say with tears in my eyes.
