By the time Bill heard Sookie's scream, he was already half way to her. He heard the growl of the creature attacking his Sookie. Bill couldn't believe he had actually let her walk home. He should have followed her after they had their fight, but he was too stubborn.
Back at Jessica's old house, he had the right to be mad at her. He had found her and Jessica at the Hambys' house. Jessica was about to kill her father. Bill was shocked that Sookie could have actually put a human family in such risk of losing their lives. He thought she was smarter than that. He acted on an impulse and leapt to conclusions. He wanted to run into that house, get Sookie and Jessica out, and then get rid of the family. But he knew it wouldn't be that easy. He knew he'd have to be invited into the house. Being a vampire surely did have its drawbacks.
When bill got to the house, he ran up the walkway, and stopped at the threshold. He opened the door, but that's all he could do. What was happening inside the house was madness. Sookie was on the floor. Jessica had her father up against a wall with a belt around his neck. Her fangs were extended. The mother was standing next to Jessica, trying to convince her daughter to stop the terrible deed she was about to do.
Behind the woman, was a little girl, probably not much older than 8. Perfect. Such a naïve child would be scared of him, but glamouring her might get him the invitation. The glamour did work. The girl invited Bill in.
He ran to Sookie, pushing past Jessica, pushed her out the door, while yelling at her, telling her that it was all her fault he had to do this, while she pleaded with him to not kill the family. He pushed Sookie out the door.
He didn't wait to watch her run to her car. He had more important things to tend to. Like Jessica and her shocked family. He would have to kill them. But what were 3 lives to a vampire? He killed the father first. Jessica had told him how mean her father was. He deserved to be killed. The mother and daughter were harder for Bill to kill, but he knew he had to do it, so he did it quickly.
After he finished draining the Hambys, he set the scene up so it looked like any other murder. Preferably one not committed by a vampire.
Bill then walked out of the house and looked for Sookie. He spotted her in her car across the street. Jessica was with her, red tears streaming down her face. It looked like Sookie was trying to comfort her. It looked like Sookie needed some comforting too, but Bill didn't care. Not now. Not after what just happened.
Bill walked over to the car, slow for a vampire. He knocked on the window lightly. Sookie lowered it slowly. Her face was slanted down, so he couldn't see her eyes.
"I'm afraid you're going to have to drive me home"
"Ok," Sookie said quietly. She opened the door and stepped out, keeping her face out of the light of the street lamp above her. She tried to walk past Bill, but he grabbed her arm, and turned her around, to face him.
"Sookie. How dumb are you? Why would you risk taking HER here? That was one of the stu-" Sookie cut him off.
"I don't want to hear this." And with that, she pulled away from him and walked to the passenger door. She opened the door, and slid into the seat. Bill didn't even bother going after her. He slid into his seat, and was about to drive away, when he realized that they keys weren't in the ignition.
"Sookie? Where are the keys?" He asked.
"They fell out of my pocket when Jessica pushed me before. You pushed me out of the house before I could pick them up."
"Good job, Sookie," Bill said sarcastically. She looked up at him like he'd slapped her.
"Don't you dare talk to me like that, Bill Compton," she said quickly. "You've never been sarcastic with me before, and I can tell you this much; I don't like it."
"I don't care if you like it or not!" Bill yelled. Sookie then opened the car door, and stepped out quickly and started for Jessica's house. Bill got out of the house and ran vampire-style to Sookie.
"You stop right there," Bill said. "I'm not letting you go in that house. I'll get the keys. You get back in the car."
"I won't take orders from you, Bill," Sookie responded. "But I don't want to see the dead bodies, so…go." With that, Bill stalked off into the Hamby house.
A minute later, He came out with the keys in his hand. Sookie was already in the car, talking to Jessica. This time, it was Sookie who was crying. Bill walked back to the car, got in, placed the key in the ignition, and drove off into the night.
