Chapter One
Eric Northman was restless and pissed off as he sat looking as bored as possible on the throne at Fangtasia. He received word from his spies in the Queen's court a couple weeks ago that Bill Compton had been sent to a town within his area to procure somebody.
Since lives in this area, Area 5, fell under his command, his per view, this pissed him off. This told him several things, whomever or whatever they were looking for they did not want him to know of because Bill had not checked in at all. This was against the law. It was a grave insult as well.
Secondly, to go to these lengths told him that whatever they were looking for was very valuable. Once he received word from his spies, he waited the three days as per law for a check in and upon receiving none, he sent trackers to watch his every move.
Two weeks of intel showed Compton was stalking a girl. Eric pulled up the information on his phone again with dossier on the girl.
Name: Summer Akatia Hale
Nickname: Sookie
Age/DOB: 18, June 21st, 1991
Next of Kin: Corbet Hale-deceased, Mariah Hale -deceased, Guardian/Grandmother Adele Hale-deceased, widowed, Sibling: Jason Hale-deceased, Aunt:Linda Roadhouse-deceased, Cousin: Hadley Roadhouse-unknown.
Eric paused at all the deceased family members. Or were they missing? He would have to double check this quickly he decided . He continued to read. School and work which had some weird notes he needed to think about. His tracker had even compiled some medical information and found that Mariah had frequently been taking the girl to doctors and psychiatrists. He zoomed in a part of shrink interview where Mariah had described how afraid she was of her daughter, citing that the girl was a monster.
Freya what was wrong with that woman?
He checked both Miss Hale's address and her place of work. The work place made no sense as he had seen she was an heiress to some fortune or something but hadn't yet touched it . It had been released shortly after she turned eighteen and her last relative had passed. No , that's not right, Hadley Roadhouse ,a cousin was still living.
An image of the stringy blonde drug addicted whore at the Queen's "palace" came to mind. Of course, something was different about Summer and the whore had told the Queen about it. Something that made people think her a "monster".
He could relate. He thought he felt several people move away from him, the scent of fear and excitement hit his nostrils. Ah, shit he was still at the bar smiling like a pissed off serial killer. Well, whatever.
He alerted Pam of his absence and left for the small town of Bon Temps.
It was not much longer later he landed at the farm house on Humming Bird and saw no one. After a quick check of the property he realized there was a large scent trail of a vampire he also sented some kind of magic. Eric thought it over and thought it may be warded.
Poor Bill boy must not be able to get past it. He had no problems himself seeing as he was well within the boundaries of it. His next stop was Merlotte's Bar and Grill where a known Shifter was pretending to be human.
