A/N:
This is my new story! I'm really excited to be writing it. Let me know if you guys want me to continue it or just forget it but I'm leaning more towards keeping it...of course. So just for the record this story is going to have almost all the characters of the True Blood world in it. It will be focused more around Eric and Pam as major characters though. I'm leaning more towards Tommy as the love interest of the OC but I'm also thinking about using Jason...so any input about that will help with me making my decisions. Just let me know please!
Oh and everything in italics is a memory, just for the record.
Summary:
After her parents are killed as a baby, Nora is raised by Eric and Pam but Eric sends her away for school. Nora returns home to find out the truth about herself & what type of creature she is but Eric isn't willing to help her find out anything. Sookie immediately sees Nora as only a trouble maker when she takes an interest in Jason. Tommy is happy he finally found someone who he can relate too. Set after season 3. I might include some of season 4 but nothing major.
Nora looked towards the sky. It was going to be night time soon. She checked her watch and saw who she was waiting for was late. She tapped her foot nervously on the floor. She had a schedule she wanted to keep and this was throwing things off. Nora saw the car pull up next to her. She pulled out the white sealed envelop from the passenger seat of her neon orange convertible.
She handed over the envelop that had $4000 in it. "Its all there." She said bitterly. The guy in front of her began to count it anyway. "You suddenly don't trust me?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest.
He placed the money inside his pocket as he took a step closer to her. "I just need to make sure. I don't know what your deal is with this stuff." He grabbed a strand of her wavy blonde hair. "You're definitely not a V addict." He said and Nora could feel his breath on her face.
She smacked his hand away. "Its not really any of your fucking business, is it?" She asked as she dropped the small leather case into the passenger seat he had just handed her. "Don't worry. This is the last you'll be seeing of me. I have bigger things to deal with."
"Thats too bad. I would've loved to get to know you better." He said touched her arm lightly. Nora shuddered under his touch.
"Sucks for you." She jumped into her car quickly. She started the car and took off driving down the interstate. Nora stopped when she arrived at a white car with blue lights on top hidden in a few trees. She pulled up next to it. The window slowly rolled down. "Is this enough evidence for you?" She asked as she handed over the leather case. The police officer in the car opened it.
"And where is the tape?" He asked as smile spread on his face. Nora unattached the wire that was taped to her chest. She took out the tape and threw it towards him. "This certainly changes things." He said as he handed her a manila envelop. "I still don't know if this is the right information." He told her honestly.
"This is enough for now." Nora said as she placed the envelop carefully in the glove box of her car.
"Good luck kid. Call me if you need anything else." He told her his tone friendlier. She pulled away from him and got back on the interstate. She began driving and wasn't planning on stopping until she was in Louisiana.
Nora pulled into the small looking parking lot. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed the number she always used when she was in trouble, her best friend Aldric, who happened to be a werewolf. She placed the phone to her ear and waited while it rang but there was no answer. Nora felt tears in her eyes. She pulled down the visor and looked at her blue eyes, willing them to stop watering. "I'm fine. I'm fine." Nora repeated to herself before turning off her car.
She felt her stomach rumbling loudly. She was tired and hungry. She needed a break but didn't want to stop driving completely yet. She just wanted to relax but she knew she couldn't yet. She walked into the bar that had a sign outside with the word Merlotte's on it. She was greeted quickly by a smiling red headed girl. Nora instantly realized she was Vampire but it had no affect on her. "Hi, how many with you today?" She asked.
"Just me." Nora answered, She followed her to a booth. Nora grabbed the menu she handed her.
"Your waitress will be with you soon." She said smiling at her.
"Okay, thanks." Nora turned her attention to the menu. She felt her cell phone vibrating in her pocket. She pulled it out and saw it was Julie, her old dorm mate, calling her, again. Nora rejected the phone call. That wasn't the person she wanted to talk to before driving to Fangtasia. She was sure her night was going to be bad after getting there.
A blonde woman walked over with a smile on her face. "Hi, I'm Sookie. I'm going to be your waitress this evening. Are you ready to order?" She asked as a confused look passed over her face but then was replaced with a smile.
Nora ordered her food. She decided there was something strange about the waitress but she wasn't going to let it affect it. She needed to focus on eating and then going home. That was all that mattered to her. She noticed a few people watching her. She knew it was because she was new to the area. Her lack of a Southern accent made her seem like she certainly didn't belong.
Nora ate her food when it arrived. She ignored the strange looks her waitress continued to give her. Nora knew he name sounded familiar but she couldn't remember why she had heard it before. Nora finished eating when the waitress returned. "Would you like anything else?" She asked.
"No, just the bill please." Nora said politely. It was something she had been taught to do so she wouldn't attract attention to herself. Sookie handed it to her. Nora pulled out her credit card and handed it over.
Sookie walked away and then returned. She handed Nora the credit card. "So I noticed your credit card is under the name Eric Northman, is-"
"Do you need to see my ID?" Nora asked worried. The last thing she wanted to do was have to call Eric because then he'd know she was in Louisiana.
"Uh, yeah." Sookie said slowly. Nora pulled it out and handed it to her. Sookie stared at it and then looked back at Nora. She narrowed her eyes slightly. "We've just never had a human use a Vampires card before." Sookie said.
Great, she knows who Eric is. Nora thought. "Oh, well I lost mine. I can pay in cash." She suggested unsure. She had never had someone question her using the card before.
"No, its fine." Sookie said quickly. "Um, it was nice having you here." She smiled before walking away and leaving Nora confused by her interest in the card name.
Nora stood up and walked out of Merlottes. She walked over to her car and got in when someone walked out. "Hey, you left this inside." He walked over quickly to her. He handed her her book she had been reading while waiting for her food.
Nora noticed he smelled different than most people. She knew he wasn't normal or human. She smiled at him. "Thank you Tommy." She said noticing his name tag. "See you around." She winked before driving off.
Nora felt like she was driving for hours but it was only around 30 minutes before she pulled into the parking lot of Fangtasia. It was her first time being there but judging by the crowd of people outside she knew it was definitely a successful business. She pulled her car into the back so it wouldn't attract attention. She walked around to the front and saw Pam standing there. Her idea of sneaking in and being unseen instantly became impossible.
Nora walked past the crowd of the people who were waiting in line. She didn't need to wait in line. Pam looked at her. Nora saw a smile on her face. "Well, well, well, look what the wind blew in all the way from California." She said raising an eye brow at her. "Does Eric know you're here yet?" She asked. Nora pressed her lips together. "What did you do this time?" She asked crossing her arms over her tight black leather dress.
"Can you just let me talk to Eric this time?" Nora begged Pam knowing that Pam would give in if she asked enough times. "Please? Please?" Nora begged.
"Fine. Have fun inside." Pam responded sounding annoyed but Nora knew Pam was happy to see her even if she wanted to pretend she didn't care.
Nora walked into the night club. She wasn't shocked by what she saw. She'd heard a lot about Vampire night clubs and how Gothic they were. She looked around as the loud music pounded in her ears. She could feel the bass of it vibrating through her whole body. She noticed humans buying fangtasia shirts. Nora smirked as she thought of the all the money Eric was making off of this club. He had wanted to open a club for as long as she could remember.
She saw Eric standing near the back talking with a group of women who Nora could only assume were fangbangers. She felt sick thinking of Eric as that kind of Vampire but she quickly pushed the thoughts out of her mind. She decided to wait until he noticed her. Nora walked over to the bar. A vampire with dark green eyes eyed her. "What can get for your?" He asked, his voice husky and deep and his fangs showing.
"Can I get a vodka and cranberry with no ice?" She asked.
"I'll need to see some ID." He said crossing his arms over his cold chest. "Unless theres something else you'd be willing to show me?" He asked leaning over. His hand touched her neck softly and trailed down almost touching her chest. Nora could feel her pulse speed up and she knew he could sense it as well.
"That will certainly not be happening." An icy voice said loudly from behind Nora suddenly. The bartender took a quick step back and turned away like Nora wasn't there. Nora turned around as she felt her stomach twisting in knots. "What are you doing here?" Eric asked angrily.
Eric kicked open the door to the run down house. He stepped inside with ease. The humans who lived there were scum, not only for being V addicts but because they had killed a Vampire in Eric's area. He'd been invited in before and the owners of the house were regretting it now as they stared at him. Eric appeared instantly in front of the man. He grabbed him by his neck and snapped it instantly not leaving any time for the man to even beg for his life.
Eric turned towards the woman. She dropped to her knees instantly as she began to beg for her life. Eric smirked at her knowing no amount of begging was going to save her. He grabbed her by the neck and sunk his fangs into her. Her blood was sweet and warmer than normal. He thought they might be shifters. Shifters always had warmer blood. The woman tried to fight him off but it was useless. No one could fight off Eric and his strength. Soon her body was motionless. Eric dropped her to the floor as he licked his lips to get rid of any extra amount of blood.
He straightened his shirt and leather jacket before turning for the door as Pam called for him to hurry while she was waiting outside. He suddenly smelled blood around him. It was something different this time, something certainly not human or shifter. He turned quickly but didn't see anyone. He felt something on his leg and looked down. Eric took a step back in shock.
A baby was using his leg to stand up. It's hands reached up to him, wanting to be picked up. Eric stared down at it not knowing what to do. The child reminded Eric of his baby sister who had been killed before he was a Vampire. She had light blonde and shining blue eyes.
He considered draining her but then he remembered Godric. He knew if Godric found out he would be disappointed in him. "Go crawl some where else." He said shaking the baby away from his leg.
It crawled back over to him and he repeated his actions this time making the baby fall backwards and land hard on her back. The baby began to cry and Eric reached down. He scooped the child up, hoping she would stop. He didn't know what else he would do with her. The baby rubbed her face into his chest as her crying stopped. "Dada." It mumbled as she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
Nora opened her mouth to answer but Eric didn't give her a chance. He grabbed her by the arm. "Lets go, now." He said dragging her into the back of the Fangtasia. She saw other Humans watching with worried or sympathetic looks on their faces but Nora didn't need their looks. She knew Eric wasn't going to do anything to her.
He walked into what Nora believed to be his office. He slammed the door shut as he shoved Nora in. "You don't have to be so aggressive." Nora rubbed her arm.
"Nora, what-" Eric took a step towards her.
Nora held up her hand to interrupt him. "Before you get angry at me, you have to admit...you're slightly happy to see me. It has been a long time." She said smiling at him.
Eric glared at her but touched her face lightly. He kissed her forehead. "I'm still angry with you." He told her.
