Chapter 1; A new begining...
The dark night was not cold yet quite crisp, the Shreveport park was still full of people because of the lovely weather, children laughing, the smell of meat while people had barbeques and the lighting around the park made it just as enjoyable at night as it was in the day time. The young brunette sat on the park bench swinging her feet and scowling at a bird that flew past. It's not the birds fault I'm so messed up it's my parents! I don't wanna be a were thats the last thing I ever wanted to be! She inwardly screamed. She was no older than 17. Her huge blue grey eyes always curious, her big lips always seemed to be in a pout and her thick hair was yet to be tamed. Her long dress was whipping around her legs thanks to the summer wind. She plopped her self onto the ground facing the wind so her hair wouldn't be blown onto her face. The lush grass was always best in summer as the other months it was usually damp. As she layed there she did not hear the sound of approaching feet.
He sat down next to her and stared. Theres something about her he thought to himself. "You look like a vampire you know, out at night, pale skin." She heard a male voice beside her. "Mate if that was an attempt at a pick up line your out of practise. And I'm not interested." She replied not even bothering to open her eyes "One it was a pick up line meerly an observation and two you have'nt even looked at me so how could you possibly tell if you were interested unless of coarse your a lesbian." He said back in a polite tone.
"Im not a lesbian i just don't want a boy friend. I dont care if your Robert bloody Pattinson bugger off," She snapped. "You mean that poofy sparkling vampire?" She nodded. "Honey I'm no movie vampire. I'm the real deal." She finally opened her eyes to spare him a glance. Not even her eyes could escape his looks. His golden hair and eyes the same colours as hers to a tee. He was very tall and muscular. The sight of him could make any woman melt but she but an uninterested face on and closed her eyes again.
"So you don't like what you see? I must say I centainly do," He said flirtaciously. She sat up suddenly with a scowl on her face. "Why are you even bothering trying to chat me up there is atleast one hundred girls here that are more beautiful and skinnier than me! It cant be my blood because I'm a were so what is it that you want?" She snarled at him. He looked a little taken aback. "Now I might like you but you must remember despite the fact your a were wolf you must hold your tongue around vampires with out your pack here, they won't all be as leniant as me," He replied harshly lifting her chin forcing her to look him in the eyes. "And as for why I'm paying you attension is because I don't like bags of bones with no breast or asses, I like curves." He said confidently. "I must say if your breasts are natural they are quite sensatoinal." He added cheekily. I stared at him skeptically. "I'm Eric Northman and you are...?" He said charmingly. "Jessie Merlotte" She replied letting a smile play around her lips. "Any relation to Sam Merlotte?" "I'm his daughter, How do you know him?"
"My friends boss" He said the word friend bitterly. "Arlene, Holly, Tanya, Daniell or Sookie?" "Sookie" He nodded. The two talked for hours as she enventually let her guard down. They talked about Sookie, How she could be Sams daughter and Bon temps and also about each other and a whole bunch of random things that had Eric laughing. She glanced down at her watch. One o'clock! "I gotta go Dad will kill me I said I was going to buy a tooth brush!" She said jumping to her feet. "It was real nice meeting you Eric." She rushed. "Wait! Will you be here tomorrow?" He called as she began trotting away. "You'll just have to come tomorrow to find out!" She called back.
Erics P.O.V: I leapt to my feet as soon as she was out of sight. What the fuck was that about? I just sat here for four hours talking to some were pup! I will not becoming back tomorrow something about her messes with my head. I'm feeling real emotions like I lo- like I want her around and like i want to help her and comfort her. I need Pam to knock some sense into me. One-thousand years of cold, calculated decisions were not going to be ruined by some little girl. I began racing home as fast as I could attempting to clear my head. Maybe some sex would help me forget her. I arrived with a thud out side the back door of fangtasia. I found my self in a dream like state as i opened the door, running a hand through my blonde hair. Pam rushed to me in an instant. "You look like hell," She commented snidley. I shot her my famous I'm-in-a-mood-don't-test-my-patience look. "Pam something terrible has happaned." She looked at me intently. "I think I'm devolping emotions towards a were wolf." She look at me like some one had just staked her. She shook her head in disbelief. "You pulling my fangs! You might have gotten away with it if you had of left out the were part!" she laughed. I was getting real pissed. "Do I look like I am kidding?" I said acidically.
"Eric your just tired go see Yvetta blow off some steam among other things and go to bed, come tomorrow evening you'll be back to your old self." I walked off that sounded like a good plan to me. Just as I turned to leave she slapped me on the ass. I turned and saw her cheeky grin and I winked and vanished to find Yvetta.
"Yvetta! "Yvetta!" I called out. "Oh Yvetta there you are." It was second before I had my clothes off and I enjoyed watching her take hers off slowly...
Jessies P.O.V: I tiptoed in the door attempting to get quietly into my room when Dad flicked on a light. "Where the hell have you been you left at seven saying 'I just wanna suss the place out Dad can I go to Sheveport it's bigger there and I'll be home by ten' But no it's two-fifteen in the morning." He wasn't shouting but he was speaking loudly and frowning. "I met a.. person and we got talking and I lost track of time I'm sorry it won't happan again." The frown faded from his face and a mocking grin replaced it.
"By person you mean guy, I wasn't born yesturday. So whats his name?" He asked curiously. I blushed a deep red. "Uh Eric." He raised his eyebrows indicating for a last name. "Northman." His eyes widened in horror and shock. "You stupid, STUPID GIRL! He's a Vampire and a lying cheating son'o'bitch!" He screamed. I felt anger rising in me aswell. "You're an idiot! So thats what you wanna aspire to? Some fangbanger?" He shouted. "You have some nerve, I've been with you all of three days and you think that you can control me screw you!" I screeched back and stamped into my room and slammed the door. I threw myself onto the bed sobbing. How dare he! I knew Eric better than he did! I began to feel myself shift from all the anger. Once the fog of anger had dissapeared I began to think clearly. Dad will never let me out tomorrow night if he thinks I'm running off with Eric I'll have to suck up. I wasn't quite calm enough to change back so I walked into the lounge room in my wolf form. My soft white fur made me noticable as soon as I was in the room. He stared at me not quite angry not quite apologetic. I walked over to him slowly with my tail between my legs and head dipped slightly so i could give him my big blue puppy dog eyes. I jumped onto the couch with him resting my head on his lap. He patted my fur. "Listen you and him a done ya' here." I nodded my head. I had calmed down so i licked his cheek and leapt off the couch into my room. I quickly shifted back and got dressed. I came back in and layed my head back onto his lap. "I'm sorry Daddy, he probally glamoured me thats all. I definately wont be seeing him again." He stroked my hair softly, it felt oddly comforting. "Ok then go to bed you're gonna help me at work tomorrow, well I guess today so go get some shut eye." I gave him a quick hug and went to bed.
I woke up at ten o'clock and put on a Merlottes uniform. I think it makes me look sexy. I went into the bathroom to do my make up and in half an hour i was put together. I emergered into the kitchen just as dad was putting pancakes on the plates. "They smell great, Thanks. Dad does uncle Tommy still work at Merlottes?" He nodded because his mouth was full of pancakes. That made me eager to get going. I heard alot about uncle Tommy from the people round town, to me he sounded like fun. I ate my pancakes in record time and raced out the door and into the bar. A young vampire was sitting on a bar stool in a Merlottes uniform. "He you must be Jessica, my names Jessica to but people call me Jessie" She looked confused. "Im sorry should I know who you are?" She asked a little sarcastically. "Oh I'm sorry I'm Sams daughter." That got her attension. She smiled at me and went off to attend to what needed to be done. I walked up behind her. "Do you know if Tommy is here yet" I asked politely. She indicated out back as she was singing along to Bad things by Jace Everett.
I walked out back and saw a fit boy outside bring in the deliveries. "Well hi," I beamed at him. He looked slightly puzzled.
"Hi there gorgeous, do I know you?" I laughed for a while and i think he was starting to think i was crazy. "I'm your neice," I said after i'd recovered from laughing. "Oh god and i just thought about you.. and me.. oh god ew!" When he got over it he came up and pulled me into a bear hug. "So you're Jessie huh? This might sound creepy but you sure are pretty." I blushed. Back in Florida every one thought I was ugly and wierd now in under twenty-four hours two people have said im pretty. "Also gonna sound creepy but your hot for and uncle." I winked at him. He pulled he into another hug.
"Alright you two quit flirting i need some help in here!" A whiny voice scolded us. "Arlene I'd like you to meet my niece." he chuckled. Shock went on her face. She went off in a hurry calling for Sam.
"C'mon we better get inside." He nodded and followed me.
When I got in I saw Dad talking to a pretty blonde. I went into the bathroom to check my make up but could still hear them clear as a bell. "A thousand bucks if you can guess who my daughter was out til two o'clock in the morning with?" "Brad Pitt?"
"Eric Northman," He said through clenched teeth. I thought Blondie was gonna choke on her ice-tea.
"You can't be serious! She's seventeen! Is she a fangbanger?" She whispered. "THATS MY DAUGHTER YOUR TALKING 'BOUT!" He yelled across the bar every one stopped to look at him. I came out of the bath room and every one looked at me. Suddenly uncle Tommy was at my side. "She ain't a circus attraction buzz off!" He yelled and every one put their heads down. Through out the day people were murmering stuff like, "gosh shes a cutie, she does look a lot like her dad, She looks sweet" I smiled sweetly as I handed every one there orders. On mine and uncle Tommys' break i thought i'd put my plan to action. "Uncle Tommy? Would you consider telling dad your taking me out tonight?" I asked laying on the sweet thickly.
"And why's that?"
"Because theres a guy I like and Dad wont let me go so i gotta sneak out to Shreveport." "Alright I'm in." He smiled. I couldn't help but beam back at him. "I could see you becoming my best friend." "You're already mine Tommy," He put his arm around my shoulders.
After work I went straight to the trailer to get ready while Tommy told Dad. I decided on a cute floraly dress that was quite suggestive. I threw my hair into curlers and vigoriously started on my make up it would be dark soon. In twenty minutes i was ready to go. I ran past Dad to the front door. "You look erm... nice," His eyes started at the pink pumps and went up the dress (what there was of it) and to my face. Every thing about my dad was screaming Tramp. "Why are you so dressed up?" "Oh please I've been dying to wear my new dress out," I heard a beep out the front. "C'ya dad" I ran out the door and hopped in tommys car. He wound down the window and called to Dad, "If we're gonna be late we'll probally crash at mine!" Dad waved as we drove off.
As soon as we were out of sight we began talking. "Im gonna drop you to Shreveport ok?" I nodded happily. "And you gimme a call when you wanna be picked up. Or atleast drop me a call if you'll be.. other wise engaged for the night so i wont worry." I thanked him the whole way to Shreveport. It was just dark when we pulled up to the park. I kissed him on the cheeck and ran to my favourite patch of grass. I sat listening to my ipod. An hour went past and I was getting nervous and cold. Hour by hour passed. It was now midnight and I had tears endlessly streaming down my face. I got up to leave well a group of probally ten weres came through the gate I spun on my heel and walked off but it was too late they'd seen me. "Where you going darling?" One called. "To my find my friend." I replied curtly. "They're very silly indeed to leave you all on you cold little lonesom." Another shouted. Within a blink of an eye the had me in a circle. With the stress i shifted. "She's even pretty as a wolf boys!" One laughed. I snarled and lunged for them, but they were quick spinning and grabbing my by the throat. I shifted back without meaning to. My naked body seemed to make them even worse as they pinned me to the ground and then the first one approached. I let out a echoing scream as he entered me and only hope some one could hear me.
Erics P.O.V: I sat in my office attempting the last of my paper work while my swedish music played in the back ground. Suddenly I heard one high pitched sceam after another. I knew that voice. It was her! I tried to ignore after a few minutes I couldn't stand it anymore. I ran out the back door racing for the park. The screams were cut off completely with a gurgle. I ran faster hoping to find her when I saw them. An undescribable rage filled with in my seeing her bruised and bloody naked body laying on the ground gasping for air as they released on her. When they were done they began to beat her even more. I knew she couldn't hold out much longer. I had to think of a plan that wouldn't get us killed. But all rationallity went away when our eyes met. In that second I wanted nothing more than to rip them Limb from limb. I charged at them after summoning Pam. I grabbed two and killed them instantly. The others shifted and jumped on me. I pulled a dagger out of my belt and stabbed one in the chest twisting the blade. Their bites hurt but it was sheer adrenalin pumping now. I grabbed another by his jaws and pulled the top part of his head clean off. Suddenly Pam and chow were pullin gthe remaining wolves off me but three ran off leaving their pack brothers behind. I turned to them both. "Pam chow go back to my house and dig a grave." They both exchanged looks but vanished. I ran to her side. He pulse was so weak i could hardly be felt. Yet there she was still consious. I took my jacket off and covered her.
"P-pleas-se will y-you h-h-help me" She shivered rapidly. "I don't have enough blood to heal you." I said i could feel tear gathering in my eyes. "I hope you survive." I whispered and dug my fangs into her neck. Her scream could be heard for miles, then her body went limp...
