Alrighty well, this is my 1st fan fiction. I read a lot of them but I've been inspired to write my own. The chapters will come rapidly after the other, I hope. Please R&R! I love reviews & I love to hear any ideas you may have.
DISCLAIMER:
I OWN MADELINE ROCKBAND-COMPTON, THOUGH SADLY,
I DON'T OWN TRUE BLOOD OR THE SOOKIE STACKHOUSE NOVELS. I WISH I OWNED ERIC, AND A STRONG PAIR OF HANDCUFFS. ;)
"Hello, welcome to Merlottes'." A friendly voice from behind the bar said cheerily. The beautiful brunette girl being spoken to took a seat at the bar. "Hello to you too, miss." Arlene blushed, she hadn't been referred to as a miss for quite some time. "What can I get cha, darlin'?" Just then Sookie Stackhouse walked in. "Sorry I'm late, Sam. Bill had just woken up and we had a chat before I left. It won't happen again." Sam sighed, "don't worry about it, Sookie. It isn't like I could ever fire ya anyway." Sookie smiled at him, he was such a good man. Arlene handed the brunette her sparkling grape juice. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry," said the brunette in a fading southern accent. "But did you say Bill, as in Bill Compton?" Sookie straightened her torso and flashed a smile, "yes I did. Do you know him?" The girl smiled brightly and stuck out her hand. "Yes ma'am, Madeline Rockband-Compton. Pleased to finally meet you, Miss. Stackhouse."
Sookie's face dropped. "Did you say.. Compton?" Maddie smiled, "yes." Arlene's eyes flashed between the two, Sam came over to join them. "Bill Compton is my father." Sookie dropped the tray she was carrying, the whole bar went silent. "Your.. Your father? That's impossible." "Not my blood father. My maker-father. I'm a vampire." Arlene let out a small gasp of what Maddie assumed was fright. So she smiled benevolently at her to show she meant no harm. "Bill never mentioned you." Sookie was unsure if she should be furious or just shocked. "That's alright, I never really expected him to. We parted ways nearly thirty years ago."
After Sookie's shift she offered to take Maddie to see Bill. Maddie gabbed and gabbed all the way over there. The way she talked, you never would have pegged her for a vicious vampire. She seemed and looked like a normal 18 year old girl. Sookie and Maddie walked in just as Bill was coming down the stairs. "Dad!" Maddie bellowed as she leaped into his (stunned) arms. "M…M.. Madeline." He gave a timid look to Sookie who stood furiously with her arms crossed. Maddie immediately sensed tension. "Sookie, let me explain this to you." They all took a seat in the living room, which Maddie remarked was lovely. "Bill only made me because he had to." Maddie started. "Like with Jessica?" Maddie looked perplexed, "who in the world is Jessica?" Bill cleared his throat, "we'll get to that later, Maddie." She started the story again. "I was 18, it was 1953. My boyfriend Charlie and I were on the way home from prom. It had been such a wonderful evening, near perfect. Lots of drunk drivers after prom, spiked punch and such. Another car filled with teenagers hit us head on.." She trailed off as a trickle-tear of blood began to cleanse her cheek. "Charlie was lost immediately. But I was thrown from the car, on a slow, painful way to death. I could hardly breathe, barely speak, I was bleeding to death. The other car took off, they were scared. Course I don't blame them, I've had many years to think about it. They were just kids after all. Anyway, Bill was traveling down that road at the right time and saw it happen. He rushed over, and my final, alive words, I begged him to save me. I thought he was my angel. Turned out I was right." Sookie turned to Bill then as sympathy tears were welling her eyes. She took his hand as an apology. He smiled lovingly at her and Maddie continued.
"It's a painful process, becoming a vampire. But I'm sure you've heard all about that. After about ten years, I asked Bill to release me, which he obliged. And I made my own life. I lived in Europe, New Orleans, New York was where I last was. But now I'm back, post cards and letters weren't cutting it anymore. I missed the only family I had left. And I was quite eager to meet you, Miss. Stackhouse." Sookie smiled at her fondly, "please, call me Sookie." Maddie smiled back, "I think I'm going to explore a bit if you don't mind, Dad." Bill stood up and hugged her tightly. "I'll show you to your coffin when you're ready. No later then 4 AM please." Maddie scowled playfully. "My house, my rules. Remember?" Bill reminded her. Maddie turned to Sookie, "and just like that, I'm 18 again." Sookie laughed with them in amazement. Why had Bill never mentioned Maddie before?
Bill and Sookie had just finished making love and were cuddling together when Sookie decided to ask. "Why didn't you mention her before, Bill?" He sighed, "I never really thought to. Yes, Maddie is like a daughter to me. But a grown up one. She's been on her own for years. I had always planned to tell you, I just wasn't sure how. I'm sorry." Sookie kissed his forehead, "I forgive you." Bill stared into her eyes passionately. "You know, Maddie has never killed another human being before." Sookie was shell-shocked. "Pardon me?" She managed. "Never. She's drank from them, certainly. But only as a means of survival in the old days. Never left them for dead and was always merciful. Also quite popular in our world. Many supe's are fond of her. Many others, the more rogue, fear her. She has more friends then enemies, but her enemies are not limited. She only drinks from animals, never endangered ones of course, to survive. Since True Blood's been invented I don't think she's touched neither human nor animal." Sookie was shocked. "And she can really live like that?" Bill nodded, "she sees neither as a temptation. She values human life more then any other vampire I've ever met. Probably because hers' was taken from her so rapidly. She was barely 18." Sookie was happy at how much compassion Bill had for his surrogate daughter. He seemed to truly care for her. "She sounds like an angelic-vampire, Bill. Just like you." Bill chuckled darkly. "Just because she's never killed anyone doesn't mean she doesn't have a few skeletons in her closet." Sookie shuttered.
It was evening again and Sookie had stayed the day at Bill's, tidying up a bit. Jessica was the first to rise, flawlessly gorgeous as usual. "Evening Sookie." Sookie smiled and handed her a True Blood. "How was your rest, Jess?" She shrugged, "same as usual." Bill woke up and followed suit. He'd barely had time to tell Jessica the bare minimum about Maddie when she came into the room bright-eyed and cheery. "Jessica!" She gasped and immediately hugged her "younger" sister. "My my, you're a stunner!" Jessica couldn't help it, she smiled at her. She was going to love having Maddie around. Maybe she could talk Bill into buying her a car.
After an hour of non-stop chit-chat Jessica felt like she'd known Maddie their whole lives. Hoyt was knocking at the door for their date and was introduced to Maddie immediately. "She's real nice, isn't she?" Jessica asked them at Merlottes'. "She is, I like her. She seems like a keeper." Maddie walked over and joined them. "Don't mind the big sister, I'm only here for a minute. Just trying to get away from Dad. He's trying to talk to me about some unfinished business I need to take care of here." Jessica's interest was peaked. "What unfinished business?" Maddie waved her off and sipped her drink. "Nothing to worry about." Hoyt started a different conversation. "So Maddie, have you met any guys around here yet? Jess and I were hoping if we could tie you down you'd stay for a while." Maddie smiled brightly. "I'm single but not one to mingle, Hoyt. No worries about me leaving though, I have too many things to do and too little night hours to finish them in quickly." Jessica looked relieved. "I'd better get going. I have an appointment." Maddie left before Jessica could ask her where.
Fangtasia was buzzing of course, fang-bangers were all decked out in their usual (hideous) garb. Maddie sighed as she waited in line to be let in. She certainly wasn't one to judge, but didn't these people have any idea the messes they could potentially get themselves into? Damn, they could be dead quicker then you could say "blood is red." She sighed, people will be stupid sometimes. Finally she was at the door. Pam had her usual clipboard and glanced only briefly from it. Maddie stared a hole through the top of her head. "Pamela." She said curtly, out of usual character. Pam's head slowly rose in disbelief. She met Maddie's eyes. "Madeline, what a pleasant surprise."
Maddie burst through the club with Pam on her tail, leaving her assistant at the door. "Where's his office, Pamela?" Maddie's voice was filled with contempt. "He's not in." Pam lied. Maddie turned on her heel. "Bullshit. Either point me in the right direction or I'll make a scene." Pam contemplated for a second and sighed, unable to delay the inevitable. "He's not in his office, he's up front." Maddie followed Pam's finger in the direction of what looked to be 'King Eric.' She sighed disgustedly, surrounded by desperate fang-bangers. Maddie marched over to him with Pam at her heel once more. Eric spotted her immediately and a smug smirk curled at his gorgeous lips. "Go away, Pam." He shooed Pam and the others away. One woman complained that she was first and the other "whore" would have to wait. Maddie was none to pleased.
"What happened to you, Eric? You used to be better than this." Eric's smirk broadened. "What do you want, Madeline?" She stiffened her torso and suddenly her smirk matched his. It was the first time she'd ever truly managed to look evil. "A divorce."
Again, I'm sorry for re-uploading, but I had a lot of spelling errors and such to finish. I'd love to hear your thoughts. R&R please! Much love. New chapter soon!
