CHAPTER 7

Jazzy

Something snapped then everything really went black. Am I dead? I felt like I was floating. I knew something was touching me but I wasn't sure what. I also thought I heard my name being called but my body felt too heavy to move.

A strange energy pulsed through me. I could make out words now.

"Why?" said an angry voice. I quivered, uncomfortable.

A calm voice replied. "She is strong and young. Rather her than her grandmother, right Rose?" There was a hiss, followed by another. "I believe she is waking up now. Jazzy?" He called my name.

My eyes fluttered open. Then sun shone straight into my eyes. I covered them quickly. "What happened?" My voice was a little shaky.

Then light haired man standing closest to me stuck his hand out and helped me up onto my feet. My eyes adjusted to the bright light so I dropped my hand. The other two people in front of me looked at me in shock. I studied their faces, something familiar about them. "Do I know you two from somewhere?"

The dark haired man opened his mouth but the man next to me spoke first. "You should, since they are the ones that kidnapped you and killed you."

I froze. "They WHAT? Why?"

The man shrugged. "How can I guess crazed vampires' intentions?"

"Cause you are one!" The dark haired vampire hissed. He turned to me, his dark eyes stunning me. "Don't believe him. He is the one that turned you, not us. Try to remember."

My head throbbed trying. Right then I noticed the odd burning in my throat. "My head hurts and my throat is burning. How do I make it stop?" I whined.

The men spoke at the same time. "Drink the blood of a human." The lighter haired man smiled, and then signaled to the trees. "There are a couple of hikers half of a mile away. How about that?"

After his words, instinct took over. My senses spread out, pinpointing the exact spot of the hikers. After that, I ran. It felt like I was fling through the dense trees. My legs came to a stand still a couple yards away.

The two hikers were a mom and her seven year old daughter. I walk toward them calmly. "Excuse me; I believe that I am lost. Do you know where the closest road is?"

The mother smiled at me. "Let me check the map." She craned her neck to look over her shoulder, at her back. Right then, I sprang.

My teeth weren't sharp so I had to bite in really hard. The little girl screamed at my feeding. Once the blood hit my mouth, my teeth sharpened.

The mother grew limp in my arms so I dropped her and faced the horrified girl. "What is wrong with your face? What did you do to mommy?" Tears lined her face.

I did a big smile. "What I am going to do to you!" She screamed louder. Arms held me back when I took a step toward the fright filled girl.

I thrashed but the hold stayed firm. "Stay right here little girl." The girl's eyes went blank as she nodded to the voice of the dark haired man. "Rose!"

The woman appeared. She ran right to the girl. "Are you okay?"

The girl shook her head no and pointed at me. "She hurt mommy." Rose got up and turned around to face the corpse of the mother.

"Oh my." Rose covered her mouth.

I smirked. "Can't handle blood?"

Rose glared at me. "Damon, can you bring back her memories?" So the dark haired man's name was Damon.

"Yes, but we need to find something to bring them back. We also need a ring for her."

Rose looked at Damon. "Melody has one. When I offered to turn her, I gave her a ring. When she declined, I told her to keep it and gave her a quart of my blood. Melody should still have both. Come on."

The little girl looked at me. "What about me? Please help mommy!" The sound of foot steps approached us. We all looked at the figure.

Rose ran to him with open arms. "Stefan!"

Damon perked up behind me. "Are you okay brother?"

Stefan looked at us. I smirked at him. Rose pointed to the little girl. "Her mother was attacked by Jazzy here. Could you take both of them to the hospital?" Stefan nodded and was gone with them in a blur.

Not letting go, Damon ran off, avoiding sun spots. Rose followed.

We jerked to a halt behind a building. An elderly woman was standing in front of us. The woman tossed something to Rose then she ran over to me, slipping a ring on my finger.

I looked down at it. A strange blue stone was in the middle, surrounded by black onyxes. So this will protect me from the sun, hmmm. I took a step into the sun and held my breath. Nothing happened.

"It works," I said in amazement.

"If you ever take it off in the sun, you will turn into a vampire crispy critter." I nodded, admiring the ring. I glanced over at Rose's hand and saw a ring similar to mine. That meant Damon had one too.

I squirmed in his hold. "Can you please let me go? This is quite uncomfortable." Damon snorted behind me and then he released me.

I took a couple steps away from him. The old woman looked at me in confusion. "She wasn't supposed to be a vampire till later on. This person changed things. Ya'll were supposed to get closer first."

I glared at this woman. "What right do you have to say when something happens? Why shouldn't I eat you now?"

Rose was quiet. "She is your grandmother."

I studied the lady. There was a feeling of familiarity but it was faint.

My grandmother stared at me directly in the eye. "Jazzy, we are feelers. We feel the future, past present and energy given off. Many of our kind work with animals or people, since we can pick up on their feel and understand them. I felt you would turn, but not today."

Footsteps approached us. "That is because this group of vampires is filled with witches and any other paranormal human turned vampire he could find. Except a feeler. He needs her to complete his collection. His witches must have altered the feelings of this place. Too many ley lines here."

Damon nodded. I just gave off a confused look. "What are ley lines?"

Damon replied. "There are energy lines called ley lines and when the intercross, paranormal creatures are attracted."

Suddenly, the smell of a delicious fragrance was filling my nose. It was coming from the building my grandmother had run from. "What is that?"

My grandmother smiled. "How about you check for yourself." I nodded and ran inside, not noticing the vampire watching me.
