Chapter 1 :

The night still left a dry heat in Bon Temps, Louisiana it arose an eerie ominous feeling with a young librarian who had to close up this evening. It curse left her lips when she knew that vampires came out to feed on humans not liking the synthetic blood they were given to urge them away from their natural needs.

At least I have some silver on me, yet I am glad that at the last minute buy the spray would come in handy, Avea thought to herself.

Avea found a good deal on silver spray that would be effective if she got in a dangerous didn't have anything against vampires but that didn't mean it would be fair game for her to become a dessert tray. She was certainly not ready to let one of these creatures of the night bite her and drain her from all her blood.

She made her usual rounds to around inside the library to make sure that no one was left inside. This late in the evening there were stragglers left behind if you didn't check thoroughly so Ms. Baker told everyone reminded constantly because they had a past incident. Everything was in shambles from torn books with the wooden bookshelves messed to bits and scatter across the room.

Once she was finished, she left the library making sure that she had locked the door. Sure that was not something she could forget but that was only a precaution. After her little check, she didn't waste time and walked away from the place she worked at. Avea didn't have the most exhausting job in the world but after a long day of work, she was tired and dreamed of nothing else but her warm bed. The young woman didn't live far away from library and that was why she didn't have a car. She was used to walk every day and night, it didn't truly bother her.

Before vampires came out of the coffin, Avea was less on her guard on the way home but now it was very different. She was uncomfortable and that feeling was increased tonight. Surely her mind was playing tricks on her. She was all alone as she walked down the streets and that was perfect that way.

Yet, she still had a strange feeling deep inside of her, like she was being watched and the small noise she heard behind her didn't reassure her. She immediately turned around, her heart pounding in her chest. There was no one, the street was deserted. She was just going crazy or perhaps she was just too tired for her own good.

Calm down Avea, she thought to herself shaking her head. She started walking again but that time a little bit faster. If anyone saw her, they would believe that she was ridiculous but at that very moment, she didn't really care. The young woman was just eager to go back home and feel safe inside her home. Avea was not very rich but she could rent a small house and she felt extremely good there.

Suddenly, a hand covered the young woman's mouth as someone dragged her towards a dark alley and pushed her against the wall, face first. Avea tried to scream but the sounds were muffled by the hand. Not seeing who her aggressor was, she started to fight against his grip but he was so strong. That was when she realized something. Her assailant was without any doubt a vampire, it would explain the sudden and vicious attack. The only thing that monster didn't know was that she was well prepared. While the creature turned her around, probably hoping to gain a better access to her neck, Avea managed to grab her silver spray in her purse and used it on her aggressor.

To her greatest surprise, the man didn't move an inch as if it wasn't affecting him, as if he was immune to silver. That was when Avea's heart skipped a beat, realizing her mistake. The person in front of her was not a vampire, it was a human. Her fantastic silver spray, her only weapon was useless.

As if the situation was not already terrible enough, she briefly saw the man holding a blade in one of his hands before bringing it to the woman's throat. In a desperate attempt to free herself, Avea tried to kick the man where it hurt the most but she failed horribly. It only angered her assailant even more and he pressed the knife on her throat, almost making it bleed.

Unable to control herself, the young woman felt tears starting to run down from her eyes. She didn't want to die, she just wanted it to end. What could the man want with her? Who was he? Why her? Was she going to die tonight? Those questions played in her head and she had no answer. The only thing she noticed was the smirk on the guy's face. He was proud of himself, he was enjoying the situation and that scared her even more.

"Don't even think about screaming. There's no one here for you and you would regret it." The man's hand left her mouth and she obeyed him, knowing he was right.

"Please... Don't hurt me." She begged, a part of her hoped that he was only a thief and only after her money, though she didn't have any. "I don't want to die."

She didn't know if her plea for mercy would be heard but it was the only thing she could do. That man was much stronger than her, there was nothing she could do against him. Her only hope was that he would only take what he wanted and leave her alive and not too hurt.

"You're not going to die, not yet at least. He wants you alive but he said I could play with you and have my fun." He said, his tone was icy and sent shiver down the woman's spine.

Avea just didn't understand what was happening to her, she hadn't any enemy. She had never hurt anyone or been mean to anyone. Why would someone be after her? Why would someone send his guy to kidnap her? That was just crazy. The man was perhaps a psychopath and nothing else but the way he talked told the young woman that man was deadly serious.

What truly scared her was his words and his intentions towards her. What did he mean by having fun? Unfortunately for her, Avea had a small idea of what it meant, even more when she felt the coldness of the blade against the skin on her stomach and soon on her thigh.

"I hope he'll give you to me in the end."

More tears fell from Avea's eyes. The man was surely going to force himself on her, to rape her before bringing to whoever was behind that attack. The knife was brought back to her throat and the woman felt a stinging sensation there. He had cut her, not deeply but just enough to draw blood and make him laughed. He was sick and sadistic which didn't reassure her. He would do more than rape her, he could torture her.

"This is going to be so much fun."

The young woman felt cursed at that very moment. How could she get out of that terrible situation? Why would someone want her? It didn't make any sense for her, she lived a quiet life without trouble.

All of a sudden, the man was torn away from Avea who fell on the ground, her knees too weak to support her anymore. She was breathing heavily as she looked at the scene before her. There was a young boy, probably a teenager, he was the one who saved her. He was holding her aggressor by the neck, his grip was strong and firm. That was when Avea noticed a very strange thing about her savior. He might have been a boy but the evidence of his true nature was on his face. He had fangs, he was a vampire.

A creature who was supposed to be after humans, who was supposed to drain them, was currently saving her from a mere human. That was so ironic considering the fact that she thought at first that the man who was attacking her was a vampire.

As she watched the vampire and her assailant, she couldn't help but wonder what would happen now. Was she truly safe or did the vampire want her for himself? It seemed that the vampire was more focused on the human, he was showing him his fangs and suddenly, he bit violently into his neck making Avea shiver. Was she his next victim? She heard her aggressor scream for mercy but after a few second, he was silent and the vampire let go of him, making him fall on the ground. The young looking vampire then turned toward Avea, her eyes were wide open and fear was written on her face.

"Please..." That was all she managed to say.

The vampire said nothing and just walked towards her, kneeling in front of her. He wasn't looking at her like she was his next meal. In fact, his face was full of compassion.

"I'm not going to hurt you." He said calmly and smiled softly at her.

"You killed him." Avea blurted out and realized her mistake a second later. He was just telling her that she was safe with him and the only thing she said was that. It was stupid.

"He's not dead. Just unconscious. Are you okay?"

Avea looked at the supposed unconscious guy and when she looked closely, she could see him breathing. So that vampire hadn't lied to her.

"I'm as fine as I can be, thank you."

She was slowly regaining her composure. Her heartbeat was not quick like before. If she was also being honest with herself, the presence of the vampire didn't bother her. Sure he had saved her but there was something about him that made her feel comfortable and safe. Did vampires have the ability to do that? Was it a trick from him? She didn't believe so because if he wanted to drain her, he would do it right here and right now.

"I'm Avea." She said, smiling at him.

"Godric."

There was a long pause after that. Avea just didn't know what to say to the vampire who saved her. She had already thanked him but perhaps she could propose him a Tru Blood in a bar to show her gratitude.

"It might seem a little bit strange for you but where are we? Which day it is?" He suddenly asked, looking a little bit lost.

The young woman was taken aback by his question.

"We're in Bon Temps, Louisiana and it's tuesday. Why do you ask?"

" I'm afraid I have no memory of anything. My name and my condition are the only things I do remember."
