A/N: hey ya'll, so I am gunna start a new story, and it will be my own version of season 5. I am a little disappointed in the lack of reviews from the other story, so I am not sure if the other story will be continued. Drop by over there and leave a review if u would like me to continue it. Now the season 4 finale was last night and I am a little disappointed that she didn't pick Eric, broke my little heart. So in this story it may be a little bit until their characters are together, but I promise I will stick as close to the show and books as possible, but adding my own little twist. Please leave a review so I know to continue this, because I really do love the love you guys give me in the reviews, thanks, now on with the show.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story. All property goes to HBO, Alan Ball, and Charlaine Harris.
"Oh my God, Tara no", I screamed, and held my best friend tighter, ignoring the bloody body of the barely recognizable Debbie Pelt. I couldn't lose her, not her. This was all my fault, "Someone help", I said in between sobs.
"Sookie", I faintly heard someone call my name, and the rustles of footsteps all around me, but I kept my eyes shut, praying to God for help. I began to feel myself being dragged away from Tara.
"No let me go, Tara", I screamed, fighting the person holding me, trying to punch and kick my way back to her.
"Everything will be ok, please calm down", I opened my eyes, and saw Bill giving Tara his blood, and I looked up and met Eric's eyes.
"She killed her, so I killed her, and, and", I mumbled numbly, and Eric looked over to Debbie's body, and growled.
"Fucking were bitch", he mumbled, then turned his gaze back to me, "your friend will live, Sookie look at me", I kept my eyes on Debbie's body, and Eric lifted my chin back up to his face, " look at me, you did nothing wrong, it was self defense, she would have killed you", I stared into his eyes, and felt myself break down a bit.
"I'm a murderer, I've killed before, but not like this, I killed her, I killed her", my knees gave out, and Eric fell to the floor with me, never letting me go. I cried, as I held onto him, and then I heard a faint gasp.
"Sook", I looked over, and saw Tara.
"Tara", I yelled as I let go of Eric, and crawled over to her, grasping onto her for dear life, "I thought you were gone", I cried.
"I couldn't let that bitch kill you, not after all we have gone through", I laughed softly, trying to control my tears.
"Everything is going to be ok", I heard myself say, wishing I could believe that, "Bill, thank you", I whispered to him, and he gave me a soft smile, and a nod in return.
"Sookie, you should go clean up, we will take care of the were", Eric said, dusting himself off, as he rose from the ground.
"Oh my God, Alcide, he is", I was cut off by Eric.
"Never going to find out", he said offering me a comforting smile, and I nodded to him. My cell phone started to ring, and I looked over to the clock wondering who would be calling at a time like this. I look at the caller information and see that it is Alcide, oh shit.
"Um, hello", I ask shakily into the phone.
"Sookie, Sookie is Eric near you", he asked frantically into the phone.
"Yeah, he is, Alcide, what's going on", I asked, but Eric grabbed the phone away from me, before he could respond.
"What", Eric listened for a bit, and his eyes widened, with what I think was fear, "how, it has only been a year", he listened again, and then he cursed, "secure the perimeter, and meet me at Fangtasia as soon as possible", he clicked end on the phone, "fuck", he yelled and threw the phone at the wall.
"Eric calm down, what's going on", whatever is making Eric act like this is not good. I wipe away my tears, and try to put on a strong face for whatever information I was about to receive.
"He, he got out", Eric whispered, and Bill gave a confused look.
"Who", Eric looked up at him, and as if they could read each other's mind, Bill's eyes widened.
"Eric, Bill, someone answer me", Tara stood up and walked closer to me, waiting to hear an answer as well.
"He's back", I gasped as I realized who was back, but how is that possible, how did he get out?
"How", Tara still looked confused, but I ignored her.
"Someone helped him, someone let the fucker free", Eric started to pace around the room, as I just stared off into space.
"I will call for back up, we will all meet at Fangtasia", Bill said.
"Debbie", I mumbled, and Bill paused.
"I will send a team to take care of it", and with that Bill was gone.
"Sook, who the fuck is back", I looked over to her.
"Russell, Russell is back", she became speechless.
"I'm gunna go get Lafayette, he can't be here alone", she mumbled, and ran upstairs, leaving me and Eric alone.
"Who do you think helped him", I asked.
"I don't know".
"Where do you think he is"?
"I don't know".
"What are we gunna do"?
"I don't fucking know", he yelled at me, and I flinched as his anger pierced through me. He sighed, "I'm, I am sorry; I just don't know what we are gunna do. I didn't mean to yell at you like that", I nodded.
"Eric, wherever he is, he has help, and we all need to work together, and trust each other so we can stop him, once and for all", I emphasized the last part, letting Eric know, we had to kill him.
"I know", he looked up at me, and we kept each other's gaze, letting the silence fill the air.
"It won't be safe here anymore, since you own my house", Eric looked like he was lost in thought, and then finally let out a breath of air.
"I agree, when we get back to Fangtasia, I will sign the house back over to you", I raised my eyebrow at him.
"No fight", he smiled.
"Your safety is of greater importance to me, then a small claim of ownership", he shrugged, "but I do have one thing to ask, you will invite me in, and keep my invitation open for as long as I like", I thought it over and then nodded.
"Deal", he kept his eyes on me, until my phone rang again. I looked over to the caller ID, and saw that it was Jason.
"Hello", I heard some frantic noises coming from the other end, and some static.
"Sookie, he's back, he's fucking back", oh no, Russell was with Jason, no, oh please God.
"Jason, Russell is there", I asked, and Eric growled, getting closer to me.
"Who, oh, fuck no, but Steve is", Steve, Steve who?
"Who", I heard a crash, and a mutter of curses.
"Steve Newlin, he's back, and get this, he's a vampire", Jason yelled, until I heard a loud crash, and then the phone line went dead.
A/N: Hope you guys like the first chapter, remember the action always starts later, I just need to set some of the main plot points. I also know some of you may be like, now Lauarayette, why did you choose to keep Tara alive. Well, as a writer I believe to stay true to the show, and the books, her character will most likely be alive. Trust me I am not a fan of Tara either, but to follow the story, I think she will still be very much alive next season. Remember to review so I know to continue this, or just leave this in development hell. Peace and True blood to all. Til next time⦠Review Review Review!
