Enjoy :-)

I've always been an adventurous girl, and I must admit, I'm pretty much asking for trouble most of the time. So when I decided to move to Bon Temps I was expecting it to be... well, anything but exciting.
So why move here then? That's pretty simple. I inherited my fathers old house. My original plan was to go here and sell it as my father kindly instructed before his passing, but for some reason I changed my mind.


I have been living in Bon Temps for about a month now, working my ass off at a bar called Merlottes. Sam is the owner of the bar, and he's also known as my boss. He generously offered me the job only a week after I arrived. But thats Sam for you, always helping people in need.

Merlottes was insanely busy tonight, it seemed like the entire population of Bon Temps was dining here.. But it was Friday after all so it didn't really surprise me.
"Hey, Al!" I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Sookie looking at me with a big smile on her face.
"I'm off work for the night, and I have been invited to Bills. I know it's late to ask, but could you get a ride from Jason instead? I already asked him, he's fine with it." she said while giving me an apologetic look.
Jason is Sookies older brother. I must admit, that boy has an IQ of room temperature, but he's likeable nonetheless.
"Of course I can. Have fun" I responded giving her a quick smile.
"Thanks Al, you're the best!" she said while hugging me.
Moving pictures flashed through my mind..
'Sookie was walking along side Bill in the dark. He was smiling at her.. Holding her hand. Her heartbeat started to raise, as he leaned in to kiss her'
I discretely backed away from Sookie. I didn't like to be prying into someones memories like that. Over the years I have been able to control my ability and block people out.. But sometimes I just cant help myself. It's pretty interesting to have a look at someone else's life, but sometimes disturbing too. I have witnessed some pretty nasty stuff over the years. Stuff that would make me look at a person in a completely different light.. But that's my own fault, I shouldn't be prying.

As Sookie stormed out the door, I couldn't help but smile at the blond fairy. Oh yes, I knew exactly what she was. I knew from the first moment I saw her. I haven't told her though. She would think I was out of my mind if I did. Not that it would bother me, I was used to people thinking I'm crazy, but it would be nice to feel normal for a change. I wasn't sure Bon Temps was the right place to feel normal though. It's only been a month and I have already met a vampire and a fairy. I'm not used to meeting vampires. My father always told me to stay away from them, and that is pretty much the only rule I haven't broken... well, so far. I'm still a teenager after all.

But in all seriousness, I know vampires are dangerous to my kind. They are one of the biggest reasons why there's not many of us left. I'm a half breed, both human and of Elven kind. Thats correct, I'm an elf. And no, I'm not a small midget wearing green clothes who helps out Santa every winter. Thank god for that, I'm all about giving, but that would truly be a drag. Most of the elven folk are tall, graceful and incredible beautiful. I on the other hand, was born both human and elf, so therefore I do not look like an elf of pure race. That's a good thing though, it keeps me alive. Most of the ancient elven kind have passed away because of their striking looks. The only elf of pure race I have ever known was my father, He was 235 years old when he decided to die. Yes, decided. Elves can live for centuries before they die, and when they feel like they have accomplished everything, they have the ability to leave the world. I miss him, it would be a lie if I said I didn't. But I know that he's with nature now.. He's home, like every other elf before him. Thats why elves do not fear death. I do not fear death either, but unlike my father I will not have centuries to accomplish my goals, I will die at a human age. I don't mind that though.

When I finally got off work I walked towards the parking lot only to find Jason waiting for me. He was leaning against his car. "Hey Alvena, you ready to go?" He said while sending me a big smile.
"yes, get me out of here" I smiled back while recalling the busy night I just had.. The thought alone made me yawn. I was exhausted and pretty much ready for a good nights sleep.

Something told me that I wasn't going to regret moving to Bon Temps. This was going to be one hell of a ride, and I couldn't wait.


So what do you think? I would love your oppinion.
And sorry for all the mistakes. I'm danish so it's not easy for me to write in english.
