Moving to Bon Temps was only supposed to be for a month but it seems like the past three months had flown by. Getting a call from my cousin Sookie telling me Gran had died was just another crappy thing to add to the list of awesomeness that was my life. I had moved in with Sookie for the past few months but really wanted a little more independence, the only problem with that was my money was running out and there was no why in hell that I was going to have enough to keep myself much longer even if I did have my cousins helping me out (which I hated). I needed a job and fast.

Walking into Merlotte's that night, like I did most nights smiling at the locals and the few friends that I had made since my arriving I sat down in a booth in Sookie's area. Looking around the room I saw the usual rednecks giving some a hard time, the lonely women wearing the shall we say 'fuck me' length skirts and barely there tops. I shook my head at those women, they didn't know a decent man if it hit them in the face and im pretty sure most of the men that they were involved with did. Next my eyes went over to my man whore of a cousin Jason who was sitting over at a table with his buddies checking out what was on the menu for the night (and no im not talking about the chicken, even though Lafayette makes it amazingly) all I could do was give him a smirk and shake of my head at him before he smiled back gesturing me to come and join them.

Thinking about it for a second I why not. Getting up from the warmth of what was my booth I went over to the guys table. Arlene came over just as I sat down smiling at me "and what can I get you tonight Anna?" looking back up at her and giving her a smile back I said "just a beer thanks Arlene, you know if Sookie is around here?" she looked back at me a apprehensive "she's out back talking to that Vampire that keeps coming in here. I still don't think that is such a good idea I have a good mind…." I cut Arlene off before she got going "that's ok im sure she will be back in soon." with that she left the table. Turning back to the guys I smiled at them. Hoyt drinking his beer trying not to make eye contact with me, he has always been the shy one. "so Jason making the rounds I see, who's the lucky winner tonight" tearing his eyes away from the little piece he had seen in the corner looking back to me with that sly wolf grin on his face I began to laugh shaking my head in a disapproving way as I always seemed to be doing with that boy.

After a few minutes of word lashings I was giving my older cousin and laughing at some of the company at the bar this evening I saw Sam come back in from the back not looking too happy. I had been thinking for some time that I needed to get a job if I was ever going to be able to get out from under Sookies watchful eye. She was the mother hen and she gave me a good pecking once or twice before. Getting up from my seat I went to go see if I could have a quick chat with Sam.

Slamming some empty bottles down into the recycle trash he hadn't heard me come walking up to him he looked up fast with a scowl on his face still 'must be still in a shitty mood…oh good'

"hey Sam what's goin on?" I said trying to break the ice with him. He looked to me this time and gave me a small smile. Giving myself an intake of breath I began my cause "so Sam I was thinking that maybe..I mean if you think it's a good idea…im kinda looking for a job around here if im going to be staying living around here I guess" I could hear the nervousness in my voice I usually wasn't like this. He looked like he thought for a second and the smile was lost from his face. "im sorry Anna but right now I don't have any hours to give ya sorry darlin" I was kind of taken back from this, he was usually so into helping out his friends and locals. "oh..ok Sam thanks anyways though…." turning around walking away before he could say anything else to me I went back to the table plopping down back into my chair. The boys just looked at my with questioning eyes. "don't worry about it" taking down the rest of my beer I threw down a few bills and got back up "see you boys later" giving them both a smile and walking out of the bar looking strait not wanting to make eye contact with anyone around I just wanted to get back to my room and cry in peace.

Exiting the bar I saw Sookie and her Vamp friend in a deep discussion not wanting to disturb them I walked passed not saying a word, but to my dismay she turned around just as I was about to unlock my door to the car. "miss Anna where do you think you are going. I thought we were going to talk to Sam tonight for a job" turning back around I tried to give her the most 'its ok' smile I could muster. "I already talked to him, you were busy…he said no" that's all I said as I unlocked my room and started the car. Sookie had a shocked look on her face…about the same as I did when he gave me his answer.

Finally back in the safety of Grans house I rushed up to my room still trying to hold back the tears. I was much stronger than this why was it getting to me so easily? After quick shower I felt better grabbing up my laptop from on top of my dresser I opened it and quickly typed in search bar came up and I typed JOBS BON TEMPS hitting enter I saw the first thing that came up. The name that flashed on the screen was Fangtasia. Clicking on the link I started to read. "hmm now that's interesting"
