It was never supposed to turn out this way. I was supposed to get married to my high school sweetheart, have kids, a house, heck maybe even a dog or two. My whole life changed with the "Great Revelation". All of a sudden, vampires, Weres, and other creatures that go bump in the night were real and they've been walking among us all along.
Gran always taught me to be tolerant and celebrate people's differences, but can I be expected to turn a blind eye to my own fiance lying to me?? On the night of the revelation he just up and told me he was a "shifter" and favored being a collie on the night of the full moon. He also told me he couldn't ever envison himself having children as he didn't want to put them through the hardships of being a halfling. So there went my carefully planned life.
He seemed physically pained telling me of his Supe ability, I wouldn't have minded half as much had we not been engaged or his regret at telling me not been so apparent on his face. He even had the gall to tell me he would've kept me in the dark our whole lives had it not been for the oh so GREAT Revelation. He then filled me in with the new rule required per their council to inform their significant others of their existence and species from then on.
From that day forth I broke off my engagement to Sam. Soon after I started to see the revelation as maybe my savior. I realized then and there that even without Sam being a collie, I would never be truly happy. I had settled for Sam because that was expected of me. I couldn't remember the last time I did something simply because I Wanted to. I loved Sam, and a part of me always will, but I was never in love with him.
Something Gran always told me was to never settle. She told me one day I'd find myself in one of those torrid romances that she always read about. She said I'd just know when I met the one When our sparks and life essence intertwined. Whatever that meant. I alWays chalked it up to Gran reading too many trashy romance novels. Looks like maybe she might've been mistaken this once.
Maybe Sookie Stackhouse wasnt destined for greatness or some soul touching love, but she sure as hell wasn't going to let the revelation or her failed relationship land her in the street or insane like Aunt Linda.
Speaking of which my ex fiance Was also my boss so I couldnt very well continue to Work at merlottes. I had to have a game plan. I decided it'd be best to find another employer. That brought me to Fangtasia... the bar with a bite. Seeing the vampire bar's motto made me burst out laughing at the cheesy line.
I hadn't laughed that loud since Jase fell out of the tree house. Our Grandpa Earl Was cursing a storm When he realized grans famous pecan pie Was gone. I was startled out of reading my book when I heard Grandpa Earl call out my brothers full name. Thats when we knew our hides Were really in trouble. "Jason Corbett Stackhouse you come down here this instance!" There atop our tree house was Jason cheeks full of pie trying with all his might to swallow the evidence. Looking like a mischievous chipmunk he fell down the ladder spewing out chunks of pecan pie.
Startled out of my reverie, a pretty vampire who shouldve been in Wonderland instead of a gloomy bar looking bored tried to card me.
Maybe working for someone who managed to make a gothic vampire bar less gloomy wouldn't be so bad. She looked like she Should be at soccer practice all in pink. I managed to keep down the giggles brought about by my random musings and showed her the megaWatt Stackhouse smile.
