Weeks had gone by since she had last seen Eric, Pam or any other supernatural beings, even Massacre had left her. After Niall had finally said goodbye, he was still searching for Fae who wanted to come back. Last Sookie heard Massacre was still fighting him and the queen to keep it open.
She was driving to work when a sudden wave of nausea hit her, hard. She came to a stop and pulled over rest her head on the wheel. The nausea soon went away and she restarted the drive to work. She knew something was up the second she pulled in, something felt, off.
She grabbed her purse and quickly made her way in the back door. After stowing her purse in Sam's office and tired on her apron. Everything looked normal; everyone was chatting and drinking after work like normal. Sam was tending the bar with Terry.
"Hey Sook, what wrong?"
"Nothing, just tired is all." She lied, "Don't worry about me." She went about serving as usual the sun had just set, and in came what she was expecting. Pam, Eric, Felipe de Castro, and Victor, they sat down in Sookie's section.
"Hello, can I get ya'll anything to drink?"
"Yes, TrueBlood, whatever kind you have." Felipe answered immediately.
"Alrighty," She smiled and walked over to the bar to get the four bottles of TrueBlood. She brought them back and set them down politely as she turned to leave a cold hand wrapped around her wrist.
"Sookie may I talk to you outside?"
"Sure Pam."
"Excuse me Master." Pam said and got up leading Sookie out the back door, "I have news."
"About?"
"Massacre. She finally figured out when Eric's birthday is he's never told us." She seemed genuinely pleased with this, "we're going to throw him a party, you must-." She stopped for a minute and looked around. A second later she grinned and continued, "You must come. Okay, promise."
"Yeah, yeah I'll come." She replied, "sounds like fun, when and where?"
"I dunno, Massacre is still working on that in between arguing with the Fae about letting the portal stay open. She's actually pretty convincing." Pam grinned broadly, "Anyways, I have to get back he'll be wondering where I went to." She gave Sookie a brief hug, a very not Pam like gesture, unless she was in Massacre's presence, and seemed to skip inside.
Sookie followed her inside her head spinning with the news. If the portal hadn't closed why hadn't she seen Claude, or Claudine? She wanted to know if they were staying or leaving. Claudine probably wasn't, she had her baby to take in to consideration.
When Sookie got back in the bar Eric and Pam were the only ones left, Eric nodded at her politely and then whispered something to Pam. Pam waved goodbye to Sookie and followed Eric out.
20 minutes later the door opened up and in came Massacre, Claude, who was rather less then happy, and Claudine who was smiling brightly, "Sookie darling!" Claudine gushed as she hugged Sookie tightly; Sookie hugged her back just as tight.
"How've you been? Can I get you-all something to drink?"
"Water for me please, I've been good, a little unsettled about having to leave, but it's for my baby."
"I'm sad you have to go Claudine I'm going to miss you." Sookie sighed, "Can I get you anything, Claude, Massacre?"
"Water for me too."
"Iced Tea for me cousin." Sookie nodded and went over to the bar. She got a glass of iced tea for Claude and two bottles of water for Massacre and Claudine.
"So Sookie, how have you been?"
"I'm doing good, just a bit busy ya' know? Massacre, let me know when and where. I'll talk to you later tables." She waved and walked over to a table who was calling her.
At closing Massacre was still sitting in her booth, she was rubbing her temples and focused hard on something. Sookie couldn't tell what her mind was closed off to outsiders, "Massacre, we're closing."
"Huh? Oh sorry." She grabbed up a few papers and jammed them into a laptop case.
"Massacre!" she stopped and turned to face Sookie, "Where have you been staying?"
"At a motel." She shrugged.
"Come back and live with me. Please."
"If you want me to." Massacre sounded detached from her emotions.
"I insist you must. Come on I'll drive to your motel to get your things."
"I don't have anything but this." Massacre shrugged. This was a new side of her Sookie didn't know if she liked it all to well. Sookie drove Massacre back to the house, once inside Massacre submerged herself back in the papers.
"What are you doing?" Sookie asked causally.
"Ah, some paper work for Eric." She said scribbling something down. Her hand writing was almost identical to Eric's. It was extremely weird.
"Oh, sounds interesting."
"About as interesting as a kid picking his nose." Massacre laughed.
Sookie smiled, "so how are things with Niall and your mom going?"
"My mom's trying to beat him into submission, they might not close it as of yet." She sighed, "ugh I hate this new king. So much useless paper work." She shoved the papers back in her case, "anyways, I'm having the party at Fangtasia, Pam is inviting a few people not many, its going to be tomorrow, that's his birthday."
So his birthday is January 23, Sookie thought to herself, no wonder he liked winter, he was a winter baby.
"It looks like its going to storm." Massacre said as she gazed out the windows, "are you windows shut?"
"Yes." Sookie said, "I hope it isn't to bad."
"We should be fine, only supposed to be a light rain." That 'light' rain turned out to be a huge thunder storm. It lasted through the night and into the next day, finally stopping around noon, the sun stayed hidden most of the day.
Sookie and Massacre stayed inside watching movies all day, starting with The Nightmare Before Christmas all the way to Edward Scissor hands. After they ran out of movies they both switched to reading books, they read all of the books in Sookie's stack, which wasn't many and decided to go get more from the library.
Around 4 they got up, Sookie showered and Massacre went to find some clothes. She packed them in a bag, planning to shower at Fangtasia.
"Alright I'm ready." Sookie decided an hour later.
"Finally! Come on." Massacre grabbed her hand and yanked her out the door to the car.
