"Come on, Kat. You're going to be late for work."

I groaned and wanted to shove Sookie out of my room. Sookie is like an older sister to me. When my mom died a few months ago, Sookie promised to look after me.

"I don't want to get up!"

I pulled the blankets over my head an almost fell back asleep. Almost being the key word there because Sookie ripped the blankets off me.

"Next time, I get the cold water. Now get up."

Damn it! I hate it when she uses that threat. I sighed and stretched my arms over my head before climbing out of bed.

"There, I'm up."

She nodded and skipped downstairs. She's way too cheerful sometimes. I grabbed a change of clothes, which happened to be black shorts and a Merlotte's t-shirt. I slid on some black and white converse because we all know those shoes are awesome. ;)

I did my normal morning routine and brushed my long black hair (which had purple dip dyed tips) and headed downstairs. Today was my first day of work. I don't want to be here or in Louisiana for that matter. My mom was killed in Louisiana, so why would I want to continue to live in the same state? From what I understand, vampires even live here.

Sookie grabbed her car keys and kindly drove me to work. I grumpily walked inside and into Sam's office with my arms crossed.

"Good evening, Kat."

I rolled my eyes and resisted the urge to flip Sam off. I'm fucking tired and grumpy. I've had nightmares since my mom died and I haven't gotten a decent sleep in months. I'm pretty sure it's around two in the afternoon right now. I can sleep during the day because the nightmares aren't so bad then. At night, they're bad.

"Is it even legal for me to work here? I'm sixteen and you serve alcohol."

Sam sighed and stood up from behind his desk. He walked over to me and put a hand on my shower. He gave me a small hug that was really awkward.

"I know you don't want to be here, Kat. But your mother would want you to be happy."

I pushed Sam off me and glared daggers at him. If looks could kill, I'm pretty sure he would be dead right now.

"Don't you fucking dare bring my mom into this! None of you gave a shit about her! You didn't even know her!"

I grabbed my apron and got to work. My shift seemed to drag on for forever. Finally, around ten, I clocked out and left without saying goodbye to anyone.

Sookie picked me up from the parking lot and decided that instead of just taking me home, she was going to interrogate me to death.

"How was your first day? Did you have fun? You look exhausted."

I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming on. I don't enjoy okaying twenty questions. Thankfully, she finally pulled into the driveway of the house.

"I'll be home either late tonight or tomorrow morning. I'm going over to Bill's."

I nodded and got out of the car, glad to have the rest of the night to myself. I went inside and changed into a tank top and booty shorts. I had enough time to pour me some iced tea before there was a knock at the door.

With a cup of tea in my hand, I opened the door to reveal a really tall guy who looked to be a Viking. Holy hotness!

The guy may have been hot, but I'm not stupid. He's really pale and I'm pretty sure that I see fans peeking out of his mouth. Vampire. Just my luck.

"Who might you be?"

I rolled my eyes at his question. Obviously I'm a unicorn, duhh. I'm pretty sure I should be asking him that question since he's the one that knocked on the door.

"What do you want?"

The vampire Viking seemed shocked at my attitude towards him. He's probably used to people throwing themselves at him. Not me.

"To see Sookie."

Well, damn. Doesn't Sookie already have a vampire named Bill or something? Apparently Sookie attracts all the fucking vampires.

"Too bad, she's not here."

I shut the door and went to the living room. As soon as I set my tea down on the coffee table, there was a knock on the door again. I went back to the door and opened it to reveal the vampire Viking again.

"Don't you know it's rude to slam the door in a guests' face?"

I rolled my eyes at him again and flipped my middle finger at him. He may be hot as hell, but he's starting to really annoy me.

"Don't you have something better to do, Viking?"

The vampire Viking didn't seem to like my demeanor towards him at all. It's actually pretty entertaining. I took another look at him, prepared to slam the door in his face again. His eyes caught my attention though. They were blue, a bright blue. His eyes were almost the same color of mine.

"Tell me your name."

I rolled my eyes for the third time that night and crossed my arms. Who does he think he is to demand things from me? Demanding things is just plain rude.

"Excuse you? Just because you're a tall Viking vampire doesn't mean you can demand shit."

The Viking vampire walked into the house without me inviting him in. Damn it, Sookie! You just had to invite a vampire into your house, didn't you?

"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Eric Northman, sheriff of Area 5."

I walked backwards into the kitchen, never turning my back on the enemy. I learned that from scary movies. I always learned to keep them talking and that's exactly what I did.

"You act like that's supposed to mean something to me."

I backed into a counter and grabbed the closest knife. It was only a steak knife, but it will have to do. I don't have a choice right now.

"That won't protect you."

No shit, Sherlock. He smirked and took a step closer with his fangs visible. I started to feel afraid, but I didn't let it show.

"Get out of this house. I take away your invitation."

He chuckled and walked even closer to me. Before I could register what had happened, I was pinned against the wall with his hands pinning mine. I tried to struggle out of his grip, but he tightened his hold on me.

"Only Sookie can revoke my invitation."

Fucking great! Does my luck always have to suck? Can't one good thing happen to me already? I mean seriously? What in the hell is next?

"Get off me."

I tried to pull at my hands but he was way too strong.

"Tell me what you are."

What in the fuck is that supposed to mean? Is he fucking insane?!

~ A/N – Hey guys. Yes, I'm starting an Eric story. I promise to keep working on my Godric story as well though. I hope you guys like this story as much as my last one. This was originally supposed to be two different chapters, but I put them together. Do you guys prefer shorter or longer chapters? :). I hope to see story follows and reviews soon. :).

Kitten

p.s. Yes, I know I kept the character 'Kat' and that's because this was supposed to be my first true blood story I couldn't think of a name for my last story. So please just block out 'Kat' if you want and fill in your name instead. :b.
