Author Note: Hello everyone this is my first True Blood/Sookie Stackhouse story came to me one day during work and I kept writing it down on post its and finally typed it up lol. This story takes place a year after "From Dead to Worse" but I will use some ideas from book nine "Dead and Gone" I chose to use 8th book because it fit my story line better. Oh and I'm going to use the idea of the show as well like here Tara works in the bar and at the store she owns too. Hey the economy sucks right now having two jobs is good lol why not use that in the story. Also my story is being told by Sookie's view like the books with the other characters as well like the show. If you have any questions about the story let me know I'm going to do my best how on describing what has happened in a year. Enjoy!


Chapter One: Mine

It was just another night in the bar, the same people who came for a burger and fries, the same who played pool with a beer, and of course my brother Jason doing anything he can to avoid his beloved wife Crystal.

He will hang with his pals from work and joke around like always and caring that he had a wife at home waiting for him but I made no point to be in his business and tell him how a husband should act, who knows maybe they were having problems and he prefer being away from her but like I said I don't want to be in his business.

I know how they say that the older brother/sister of a family is supposed to protect his/her younger siblings but Jason and I were total opposites I always had to look out for him and get him out of trouble. My parents and Gran knew I was the responsible one and I have a good head on my shoulders. But Jason isn't a little boy any more he needs to start doing things for himself and start making right choices and besides I have my own problems.

A year has passed since the take over with the new King. Bill has been working crazy with this new King doing special projects for him whenever he asked and Eric wow Eric I haven't seen him in a year since he's been so busy. No calls, text, Pam checking up on me, nothing of the sorts. I guess Eric didn't care any more about me because he is always checking up on me and making sure I'm okay. He probably didn't like how he remembered everything that happened between us when he wasn't himself and how he agree to be with me forever. The great Eric giving everything up for a human was not like him.

I was sad and confused thinking that maybe there will be a chance that Eric will walk through my door and crawled in bed with me and tell me he loves me and wants to be with me and he doesn't ever want to let me go. There were nights were I will cry myself to sleep wishing he was with me and I will try to connect with him from the blood bond but it was like he blocked it some how so I took that as he really didn't want nothing to do with me. I will sit in my backyard hoping I see a shadow of some sorts thinking it was Eric but one night it was Bill and he stayed with me and we talked and talked like how we used to. Eventually we started to date again I admit it felt weird being with him after everything we been through and then me with Eric but Bill has been there for me and my feelings for Eric were slowly going away while my feelings for Bill were coming back again.

Now back to work, I don't know for some reason I felt restless today like I didn't want to be in and I just want to run home and have some me time where I change to comfy pajamas and curl up on my bed reading a romance novel.

I was about to take my break since my side of the tables were pretty empty but then a couple walked in and decided to sit on my tables. I rolled my eyes and took out my pen from my hair.

I walked over to them and handed them the menus, "Hi I'm Sookie, how ya'll doing this evening?" I greeted and smiled brightly at them. They return the smile and looked over the menus. I never seen them before around here so I decided to take a sneak peak into their minds and see what they were up to just to play it safe.

"Hm the turkey burger looks good." "God I hope the toll truck comes fast the kids are waiting for me." So they were from out of town and their car broke down on the way.

"We won't be staying too long we are just waiting for a toll truck. For now I'll have a coke and the chicken soup." Said the woman and handed me the menu. She looked about in her mid 30s, dark brown curly hair and had it picked up half way. Her husband had black short hair and was a big on the chubby side.

"Well since I'm the one doing the driving I will have a nice turkey burger with American cheese and fries please. Oh and a coke. Thank you." He gave me his order and menu. "I'll put in your order and bring out your cokes." I said and turned away from them.

"Hey Tara can I get two cokes with a little bit of ice." I said to my good friend Tara who was the bartender. "Here you go Sookie. So any plans after your shift is over?" She handed me the two cokes.

"I'm not sure yet Bill wanted to go to the movies and see that new war movie but I don't really much care for it. Why what you have in mind?" Bill my vampire boyfriend loves war movies well anything action really just your typical guy even if he's undead.

"Lets do a girls night out. We haven't done one in ages! You, Amelia and I hitting up some clubs dancing with cute guys." I cringed, "I don't know Bill gets very jealous when he smells other men on me." Bill even gets upset when Sam hugs me.

"So take a shower before you see him come on Sookie." "It's not that simple Tara. Vamps can smell anything with or without a shower. I don't know Tara; I have to discuss this with Bill."

"Discuss what with me?" And there was my vampire boyfriend with that chilly voice that always sent my whole body to shake. He gave me a peck on the lips and sat on the bar stool.

"I'll be right back let me just bring these cokes to that couple over there." I said and left Tara and Bill at the bar. "Hello Tara, may I please have an O Negative." Bill asked kindly like a southern gentlemen and Tara went to fetch him a bottle of TruBlood.

"Bill the thing Sookie wanted to discuss with you is that we girls being Amelia, Sookie and myself want to do a girls night out tonight." Tara began and Bill looked puzzle.

"Girls night out? Don't you think you're a little too old for that?" Bill thought girls night out was for teenagers who will have sleep over and talk about boys. "No, girls night out is for any age it's were a group of female friends get together and go bar hopping or hit up some clubs. Dancing with cute…ourselves." Tara corrected.

"And you want Sookie to go with you?" Bill was bothered by the idea that his Sookie going to clubs and could possibly dance with other men, she was after all very beautiful. "Um yea she's my best friend and we used to do it when we were younger and it be fun to bring Amelia along." Tara explained to him.

I eventually came back and Bill didn't look too happy and Tara seemed nervous. "Darling, do you want to go to this club with your friends tonight?" I looked at Tara and gave her a cold glare I didn't want Bill to know right now I wanted to discuss it with him privately.

"Um yes it be fun to do normal girl stuff." I wouldn't mind going out and having fun being around vampires is making me feel not like a normal girl any more.

Bill took my arm gently and pulled me to the side for privacy, "Sookie if you wish to go that is fine I know you hate feeling like you don't have your independence. But once you leave the club I want you to come home to me this way I know you are home safe and in my arms. Also I can make you forget the men you danced with." He smirked and I got what he meant which was to rock my world and make me forget the other losers.

"Aw thanks Bill! I promise I'll be very careful and come home to you." I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him on his cold lips. "Tara I can go!" I waved at her and Tara smiled brightly.

Bill smiled at me, "I'll go home now so you can finish your shift." He said and I turned to leave but he grabbed my arm once more to make me face him and whisper in my ear, "Don't wear anything under so I can have easier access unless you want me to rip it off of you." He licked my ear lobe and I had to control myself from not taking him into the supply room and having my way with him right now.

My cheeks grew rosy and I shyly smiled even though we had sex a lot of times I still get shy about the idea of it and talking about it as well. That's what Bill loves about me that even though we went far in our relationship I still have my innocent's moments.

Bill left and Tara came and hugged me, "Yay! I can't wait till we get off and get ready for our girls night out! Just one thing…" "Yes you can borrow my clothes." I already knew what she was going to ask she always borrowed my clothes since we were kids even though she could afford her own now since she worked two jobs but old habits never died.

Sam let us leave early since the bar wasn't so busy and he can take care of closing himself. Gotta say Sam is like the best boss ever! We made it to my house that used to belong to my Gran but I took over since she passed away. It took some getting use to when I would come home and she was sitting in the living room by the fire waiting for me to make sure I got home alright.

I called Amelia asking if she will like to join us but she said she was out with Tray and they decided to go away for a week just a spur of the moment those two together were crazy and they were made for each other.

We were both in my room looking through my closet of what to wear for tonight. "What club are we going to?" I asked Tara since I had no idea where we are having fun at and to get an idea what to wear for the night.

"Oh that new one that opened up I think two weeks ago call Forbidden I read that it's the hottest new place to party and have fun." "Sounds cool. Hmm I think I go with all black or maybe black and red. Oh I don't know!"

Tara picked out from my closet a black mini skirt and a dark blue lacy top and for her feet she worn a pair of my strapping black heels. I finally decided on black tights with my black high boots with a nice dark red top that was a bit low cut to show some cleavage but not too much where I will be consider easy can't have that.

This outfit is going to drive Bill crazy when I come home to him I might get the best sex of my life! Even though with Bill sex is always great the way he touches me in all the right places, his cold lips running up and down my warm body sending chills and his….okay no more thinking about it.

We both began applying make up Tara decided to do a soft blue eye shadow to match the top and I decided to do smokey black eye shadow to fit the dark look. I curled up my hair so it looks wild and sexy and Tara kept her hair straight.

We both stare in the mirror and loved what we saw, "We look hot!" Tara said and I agreed with her. We then went into my car and drove to the club it was on the way to Shreveport, I prayed that a certain blonde vampire didn't sense me coming near that's if he even gave a damn to show up.

I parked the car in the parking lot and we waited on line to get in. It was finally our turn and we show our Ids as proof we were 21 and over. We walked in and it was dark with flashing colorful lights in the dance floor and loud music playing. There were booths on the side so the dance floor was huge. As we walked in I swear every man who was single or not single was looking at us like a piece of meat.

We made our way to the bar, "I'll have a gin and tonic with a little bit of ice." This way I get more liquor than just ice. "I'll have a screwdriver for now." Tara ordered.

The bartender gave us the drinks we then sat by an empty booth and watched the people dance on the floor and having a good time. Right now they were doing a mix of today's music pop mix with some hip hop it was very catchy.

Tara jugged down her drink and put it on the table, "We didn't come here to watch people dance lets go party." She said and dragged me to the dance floor. We began dancing to the music I was being careful because Tara didn't give me enough time to put my drink down. So I will sip and dance.

Tara was really getting down I guess that screwdriver already got to her, boy was that fast! I saw guys were noticing us dancing together and you can see the drool coming down their mouth as they watched us dance one of them was brave enough to come between us and dance with us. I felt uncomfortable since I have a boyfriend and not just a regular boyfriend a vampire boyfriend.

So I let Tara have the guy and I sat back down with my drink at the booth. I was having a good time even though I wasn't dancing but it felt nice going out doing something I want to do for a change. Sometimes I wish I was normal like the rest of them out there not being able to hear someone thoughts and I hate to say this but even associating with vampires.

"Hello beautiful, how are you doing this evening?" Some strange man came and sat next to me on the booth. I was used to men hitting on me because of the bar and my body can't forget the blonde hair men go crazy for blonds.

He was tall medium built dark spikey hair with an eye brown piercing and a tattoo on his neck not sure what it was but it look like a snake.

"Sorry not interested I have a boyfriend." I said and continued drinking. He then wrapped his arm around my shoulders and bought me to him, "Where is this boyfriend of yours? If you were my girlfriend I wouldn't let a sexy thing like yourself come here alone." Like I never heard that line before sheesh men can be such pigs.

"Oh man I can't wait to screw her brains out. God her breasts look so good to suck." I felt disgusted and I tried to get up but he held me down. "Why you running off so soon? Come on let me show you a good time." He whispers in my ear and I can smell the liquor on him it seems he's been drinking all day.

"Let me go." I warned. Then all of a sudden the stranger wasn't next to me any more and was pulled away roughly by the shirt, "I think the lady said she wasn't interested." Just my luck there he was the tall blond Viking Eric. Don't get me wrong I was happy to see him because he saved me from this creep but still, Eric!

"What are you her boyfriend?" The idiot asked. Eric smirked, "One day I like to be. Now leave before I make you leave." He said and shown him his fangs. Once he saw that he ran and left the bar.

Eric then made himself comfortable and sat across from me on the booth. He looked at me as if waiting for me to say something, "No thank you? No thank god you came Eric? Eric I am now in your debt? Nothing?"

"Thanks Eric for saving me from that big evil man I don't know what I would have done without you. Oh and it's nice seeing you again how you've been? " I sarcastically said to him and he picked up on it.

He then got a little too comfortable in the booth he stretch out his legs and placed them on the table and put his hands behind his head. "So what are you doing here? Slow night at work? No busy meetings or what not?" I asked him since he never left his precious Fangtasia and the new King.

"Nope I always check out the new clubs or bars that opened around my area to see the new competition I might have. Besides I picked up on your scent and decided to pop by for a visit since I haven't seen you in a while." He grinned. "Lucky me." I sarcastically said to him and rolled my eyes.

"So Bill let you off the leash?" I took that as an insult and how did he know that I was with Bill oh right he smells him on me, "I am not Bill's dog! Even though I am his girlfriend I am not one of those fang bangers you vampires are used to having."

"You don't know how badly I want to claim you as my own." He looked at me with lustful eyes and his fangs extended a bit, that's how you know when a vampire is excited the fangs come out.

"Eric you lost your chance I'm with Bill now. We are boyfriend and girlfriend none of this master and slave business. And I know you vamps find that hard for a human and a vampire to be together but Bill isn't like the rest of you vampires." Ever since I met Eric at his bar that he own he has been forever obsessed with me and wanting me he finally got me but he didn't remember it then he did and disappear on me.

"But for how long? Most relationships don't last when a vampire is with a human. I have been a live for a very long time and they always end badly." Eric said to me. "If that is so then why do you want me?" I shot back at him; let's see if he likes them apples.

He softly chuckle and sat up, "These vampire and human relationships end badly because one of them will betray the other. You may give up Bill to the Fellow Ship of the Sun to save your brother lets say or Bill may give you up to save his own unlife." Typical Eric never giving me the answer I want to hear as to why he is after me if a human and a vampire can't be together.

He came closer to me and his face was inches from mine, "But I can sense that you really do love him and you will do whatever it takes for the two of you to be happy even if it's to risk your own life which you have done for him. But tell me what has he done for you to show his love for you? The only way he shows it is when he has you in his bed but maybe he only loves your blood and company but not all of you. I just want to warn you be careful with Bill I don't trust him fully he hurt you before he can do it again."

He then reached out and softly pushes my hair behind my ear, "I hate to see this beautiful face in pain and full of tears. Be careful sweet Sookie."

I looked into his eyes and call me crazy but Eric seem truthful of what he was telling me but I had to remind myself he was the reason I was sad and confused after he just left without a word but I didn't want to bring it up, "How do I know this isn't an act for me to distance myself from Bill and you come in to sweep me off my feet?"

He then got up the booth and looked down on me, "Just be careful." Was the last thing he said to me because he left in a flash.

Tara and I left the club and I had to help her walk since she has a little too much to drink I only had one drink since I was going to drive. I dropped her off first at her home and helped her up the stairs and to her bed. Once that was done I got back in my car and drove over to Bill's just like he wanted me too.

I kept thinking what Eric told me that to keep my eyes open around Bill, but why? Bill hasn't been acting funny toward me or anything I mean yea we saw each other less that is because he's been busy with his vampire work but that's all. Did Eric know something about Bill that I didn't again? Was it true what Eric said that Bill only loves drinking my blood and just sleeping with me? I made it to the little drive way by Bill's house.

I got out of the car and just lean on the car thinking if I should go in or not, Bill was expecting me to come right home to him right after. Then I noticed from the windows that the light in the living room was on so that meant Bill was probably in the living room reading or working.

I took a deep breath and made my way to the front door as I got closer I heard soft music playing from the piano and I knew it was Bill playing since he loved playing soft classical tunes from his time. I opened the door and walked in to the old Compton house.

He looked up at me and nodded but continued playing. I threw my purse and slipped off my coat on the railing of the stair case. When I walked back into the living room he looked me up and down at my clubbing outfit and had a sly smile on his face. I then walked over to him and sat next to him on the little bench of the piano and watched him play, we do this a lot I sit and hear him play.

He once told me that playing the piano keeps him at ease and it reminds him of when he was a young boy being force to play piano by his parents because back then it was like a must to play some sort of instrument and become famous because of it but he just wanted to play for fun not for show.

He suddenly stopped playing and looked at him; he inhaled deeply and growled, "You smell like Eric." He wasn't too happy about that.

"This guy was hitting on me at the club and wouldn't back off then Eric came out of blue and made him go away. We just talked is all." I explained to him but seeing the look on his face he still wasn't too happy. "How did Eric know you will be there?" He asked.

I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know maybe he picked up on my scent since the club was around Shreveport where Fangtasia is. Anyone ever tell you vampires that smelling people is kind of gross?" I tried changing the conversation just a bit. Bill swung his legs the other side of the bench and got up to sit on the couch away from me.

I was getting fed up with his jealous crap, "Bill what is the big deal? I'm with you Bill not Eric you saw what a mess I was after he just left but you came and took care of me and made me love you again. So, what if I smell like him not like we well you know." I got up from the bench and was now standing in front of him with my hands on my hips. "You might as well since you reek of him."

I sighed and decided to play the sexy kitten card it's a good trick we women have against men during a fight, "Oh Bill when are you gonna realize it's only you I want not him." I settle myself onto his lap and was straddling his waist.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and nuzzle his neck, "I'm yours and always will be." I whisper in his ear and the way he looked at me when I said I'm his was the most sexist look alive and the most sexist thing you can say to a vampire as well.

He all of a sudden flipped me on my back now and he was on top, he captured my lips in the most passionate kiss and his cold hands made its way down to my womanhood and I felt him growl in my mouth when he realize I obeyed him when he said to wear nothing underneath.

He then let go of my lips and his fangs were out the last thing he said before he plunged his fangs into my neck was, "MINE!"
