The Hybrid
I'm really starting to hate this. The late nights, the bad grades, the disappointed looks from my parents - and I can't do anything about it!
That's not even the worst part, though. The worst part is seeing my friends in danger, again, because of my enemies. The ghosts that I'm supposed to stop because no one else can fight them the way I can. My parents may be ghost hunters, but my unique abilities give me an edge over ghosts that even my parents' equipment doesn't provide.
That's why I have to do this. Protect everyone I can from my mistake. I chose to go into the portal - something that was expressly forbidden by my parents because of how dangerous it was - and it got turned on because of me, and now, ghosts are plaguing my town, practically 24/7.
My friends Sam and Tucker help me fight the ghosts, and keep some semblance of sanity in my life; and they claim to be fine with it. But I can see the effect it's having on them. They help me take care of the ghosts, and then they get into the same trouble that I do for breaking curfew and falling grades. Every time they get in trouble or get hurt, I try to apologize, but they won't have it. They tell me it's worth it to protect the town, but I can't help but feel like I'm taking their lives away from them. My dreams of being an astronaut are already pretty much shot; why should my friends lose their dreams too?
Unfortunately, whenever I try to push them away, keep them safe, they see through it every time, telling me that they'd rather stay by my side instead of hiding on the sidelines. They're the best friends anyone could ever ask for, always caring about my safety and my happiness.
But sometimes, I wish they'd care a little less.
