Just to get all of these out of the way first! :)
Author's Note #1: The chapters with adult content will be marked at the beginning of the particular chapter to inform the reader. This is regardless of where in the chapter it takes places so the reader will be informed.
Author's Note #2: I do not own the True Blood TV show or the Sookie Stackhouse Books by Charlaine Harris. I only own my original stories and any characters I might create in my stories.
Author's Note #3: This story takes place at the end on Season Three Finale; except Sookie did not go to fairy land (or whatever you want to call that place she went to).
Author's Note #4: I do not believe there will be any spoilers for the seasons past season three finale or the books as I am changing the storyline. If there are I am sorry, but I will try to warn you ahead of time.
Author's Note #5: This is not a love of Bill Fan Fiction story. I do not like the pairing of Sookie and Bill, therefore I choose not to write about it. I do not really like Bill's character in general from the show so do not expect me to be nice to him in my stories either. In the books he is not as terrible, but I still do not like the pairing of Sookie and him. If you like him and the pairing of him and Sookie, you might not want to read this story.
Author's Note #6: Italicized sentences or 'these sentences', depending on which format you are reading this story in are people's thoughts.
Author's Note #7: I do not own Netflix or anything relating or pertaining to them.
Author's Note #8: I do not own Food Network, Rachael Ray Show, or anything related or pertaining to them.
Author's Note #9: Arlene's baby she is pregnant with in my story is actually Terry's, not Rene's.
Author's Note #10: I do not own any ABC networks, Oprah shows or networks, Dr. Oz Show, etcetera , etcetera, or anything related or pertaining to them.
Author's Note #11: The whole situation with Sam and his brother never happened.
Author's Note #12: Jesus (the nurse) does not exist in my story or anything crazy going on with Lafayette . Lafayette is still a flamboyant gay guy though.
I hope you enjoy the story that I wrote.
I love reviews of all kinds. I just ask that if you have something negative to say you say something positive as well about my story.
Thank you in advance for reading my story.

Discovering the Unknown
A True Blood Fan Fiction
Chapter One: Visits
Sookie walked home slowly from the Tall Pines Cemetery near her house feeling slightly better than she did before coming there. She always felt better after talking with her Gran.
Even though Gran had passed away, when Sookie went to the cemetery to visit her grave, it was like she was sitting right beside her speaking with her; helping her decide what to do.
Just because she felt a little better did not mean she could forgive Bill for all that he had done to her and others or forget about those things. Their whole relationship, if you could even call it that anymore, was based on lie after lie.
Everything that he had ever said or ever done somehow involved a lie on his part. If there was one thing Sookie disliked more than anything else, it was a liar and being lied to by someone.
Every time she found out one thing that he had said or done and would forgive him for doing or saying it, something else would come out that he had lied to her about. She was tired of all the lies. She was done with him. She had, had enough.
Sookie was tired of having to keep working so hard on a relationship that he did not seem to care that much about. If he did he would have not have repeatedly lied to her about practically everything.
Everything he had ever said to her seemed to be turning out to be a lie. She had finally made it home from the cemetery when, who should be one her front porch but the liar himself; Bill.
'Why does no one ever listen to anything that I say to them? Do they just think I don't know squat. It is so frustrating,' Sookie thought as she walked up to the house, 'Fine. If he won't listen; I just won't talk to him any more. Maybe that will help him to understand better what I have been telling him.'
Sookie did not speak one word or even acknowledge Bill was even sitting there on her front porch. She just walked up the stairs to the porch and over to the front door. Then she opened the door, walked inside it, shut the door behind her, and locked it up for the night.
'Maybe now that will help him get the hint that I want him to leave me alone.'
Bill just stared at Sookie, turning his head to follow her, as she walked by him in to the house. He continued to sit on her porch until almost dawn when he had to leave before the sun came up.

Sookie walked into Merlotte's at five o'clock about a week later. She was working the late shift tonight, until close and would be on her own waitressing after six. Arlene had worked the early shift today and Jessica was having a date night with Hoyt, so she was off tonight.
Holly had been fired last night after Sam had caught her selling drugs out back behind the bar, to one of the patrons while on the clock. What people did on there own time was their business but what they did while working for him or at his bar was his problem to deal with.
Although the girls understood why she had been fired, the were upset that once again there was only three of them working. One of whom could not even serve alcohol ever, and could only work after it was dark outside.
Sookie liked the tips she made when she was working by herself, especially at night, but hated it when they got slammed and everyone's emotions got the best of them and their thoughts. It was times like those she had lots of trouble keeping the thoughts out of her head, and that was without the added stress, if it was busy at the bar.
"Hey Sam. Hey Arlene, how has the day been here today?
"Very slow," Arlene stated, turning towards the tables, "as you can see. I haven't made but ten lousy bucks all day long."
"Really?"
"Yes. I wish I could go back to working nights more but you know how Terry is with me and the baby. He wants me resting all the time and is so protective. I guess I should be lucky he lets me work here at all. It drives me crazy sometimes, Sookie, but I love him."
"Well anytime you want or need to change days or shifts, you just let me know."
"I will, Sookie. Thank you."
"You're welcome. I for one hope that it stays slow tonight. I don't think I can deal with a crazy night; I just might snap."
"What's wrong, Sookie?"
"Nothing. Just more of my messed up relationship."
"You know I am not a fan of Bill or vampires for that matter, but I do care about you. What's wrong?"
"Bill and I are through. I have had enough of his lies and his manipulation."
"And you're not changing your mind this time? I'm sorry, but you have said that before."
"No. I am not changing my mind. Do you know he came here to the bar on purpose that first night?"
"What do you mean he came here on purpose?" Arlene asked, pulling Sookie into the backroom of the bar.
"He had orders to acquire me for the Vampire Queen of Louisiana."
"They have a queen?"
"Yes or a King, of every state apparently."
"I didn't know that."
"Neither did I until very recently."
"What else Sookie; about Bill, I mean?"
"He let the Rattray's hurt me that night so he would be able to give me his blood to heal me."
"Why would he do that?"
"When a vampire gives you their blood they have a bond with you that grows stronger every time blood is shared. He wanted to have pull over me and for me to be drawn to him after he learned that he couldn't glamour me, because that is what the bond does. It makes the human have feelings for the vampire. I tricked me into falling in love with him."
"Oh my God."
"Yeah. That's just one of the many things he has done to me. I could keep going but I need to calm down so I will not read everyone's thoughts tonight at the bar."
"I'm so sorry, Sookie," Arlene said, as she pulled Sookie in for a hug.
"Thanks. I am sorry to unload on you but Tara isn't here and… well you did ask."
"You don't have to apologize to me. I know we have had our ups and downs in the past together, but you can always talk to me about anything. I love you, Sookie. You are like a sister to me."
"Thanks again, Arlene. I guess we should get back out front before Sam comes to find us."
""I'm not worried about Sam. It's not like he can fire us right now. He barely has enough of us to work all the hours here now," Arlene laughed.
"That's true," Sookie said with a smile on her face, walking back to the front.
They met Sam in the hallway and both of them started laughing.
