Chapter One: Praise the Vampire

Sam POV

It's busy in the bar tonight everyone wants to catch a glimpse of the new vampire that just drifted into town. A Mr Bill Compton that's his name, I saw him checking in with Eric at Fangtasia about a week ago. Eric's the owner of Fangtasia, he's a 1000 year old vampire it's heard to believe it isn't it. I hope he will stick to what he promised Eric. Bill Compton was only allowed to live here in Bon Temps if he drank that synthetic blood –was is it called again-that's it Trueblood, Bon Temps is too small a town for him to feed everyday even if they were willing. I wonder if he will come in tonight, I certainly hope not Sookie is in tonight I don't want him anywhere near her. Awwh Sookie. Sookie is a waitress at my bar but more importantly she is the woman I've been in love with since I first saw her. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and the cutest little mouth and nose. People call her crazy I simply call her enchanting.

Suddenly there was knock on my office startling me from my thoughts of Sookie.

'Come in'

There standing at my door was a pale looking Sookie. I jumped out and pulled her in and sat her down on the sofa that was in my office.

'Sookie are you okay? What's wrong?' I was starting to panic.

'The vampire that's in town is in the bar and sitting in my section. I can't hear him Sam! He's blank like he doesn't think'

I did mention that Sookie is a telepath didn't I. I looked at Sookie her hands were shaking so bad that if she was holding a cup of water there would be none left in there. I took her hands in mine and squeezed them to get her attention. When she looked up at me I kissed her forehead and said

'Sookie everything is going to be all right. Okay, I want you to take deep breaths and calm down'

One she calmed down I led her back out to the bar.

'I'll do this table Sookie you go get yourself a drink. Okay?'

'Okay' she replies

I make my way over to the table where Bill is currently sitting at with Rattrays.

'Hello what can I get ya'll tonight'

'Can I get a bottle of Trueblood, O negative and two beers for these two' the vamp said.

'Sure coming right up'

I went off and got their drinks and returned them to the table.

'Have a nice night' I said ad walked back to the bar. I looked for Sookie, she was busy busting her other tables. I couldn't get over how beautiful she looks, the way her hair shines in light and her eyes twinkle with happiness as she chats with her customers. She spots me looking at her and smiles, I grin back at her. I can't help but not love her. I've noticed the vampire and the Rattrays have left the bar, good riddance I say. The rest is uneventful, the rest of the staff are just leaving, Sookie is staying buy to help me stock up for tomorrow night.

'Night Sam'

'Night Arlene'

It's just me and Sookie now, we get all the restocking done in no time. We are ready to leave, I'm in the office getting my mobile when Sookie calls me.

'Sam !'

'Yeah'

'The doors locked'

'I'll be right out.'

Arlene sometimes locks the door after her even if there's someone still in the bar. I double check that the safe is locked and grab my keys and walk out into the bar. Sookie is standing by the door I get my keys out and put them in the lock. I hear a snapping sound, I look down and see that the key has snapped in half. Sookie must have see the look on my face.

'What wrong Sam?' she asks

'Looks like we are stopping her for the night. The key has snapped'

I'm pretty sure that her face looks just like mine.

'Oh' she breathes

This is going to be a long night
