"JESUS CHRIST SHEPARD OF JUDEA!" Sookie retreated to her bathroom panting leaning against her door, before she realized that it could and probably will crawl under the gap and attack her ankles. Another shudder ran through her as she searched her room for something flat that she could use as a weapon but would remain undamaged when she used it to defender herself. However, given her local her options were limited; a plunger not firm enough and honestly to oddly shaped to do any real damage, a hairbrush also not useful, she really would have to get close to wield any benefits with that, if only she hadn't left her shoes on the porch, maybe she'd be able to throw them… It was a bad day made worse by the intruder, first her period had started, which you know, whatever, except for the fact that it was a week early and Sookie was already running low on supplies so she had to stop at the grab-it-kwik before going to Merlotte's, then it was just an average albeit busy day of serving ill-mannered, dirty mind, grabby handed rednecks. But Sookie's shift ended, she grabbed her paycheck, and was heading home with plans of a long hot shower and an early night. Then this happened, because when life gives you lemons, it likes to squirt you in the eyes with them. But on the plus side her day couldn't get any worse. Then her phone rang.
"Are you alright Sookie?"
"Eric? What? Why are you callin'?" Still panting slightly, and rummaging around her bathroom, for a fabled weapon.
"I felt a spike of fear in you, is everything well?" His voice less anxious now that he's heard her voice. It would seem that she isn't in any grave peril, based on the lack of screaming, anyway.
"Um, yeah, there was just...well...there's a spider in my bathroom."
Silence followed that statement followed by a booming laugh.
"...A spider? That caused you to send terror through the bond? Pam, you will never believe what has scared Sookie, the great telepath and rescuer of vampires!" Sookie hears the laugher start again, with what she can faintly make out, "Oh that breather is too much!"
"HEY! It's a really big spider and it jumped towards me when I tried to squash it and now it's somewhere under my laundry!"
And now there is more laughing from the other end of the telephone. More than a little peeved, Sookie contemplates hanging up the phone when Eric finally gains control over himself.
"I'll come over and deal with your spider problem".
"Its fine Eric, I can handle it myself, and I was just about to get into the shower".
"All the more reason for me to come over, lover; once I help you by killing the spider I can help you with those hard to reach places."
"Eric, get your mind out of the gutter! Talking nasty isn't going to convince me to invite you over; I'm still really peeved about this "marriage" thing."
"I will be over in fifteen minutes".
"You're just ignoring everything I'm saying aren't you?"
"I'll see you soon lover." and with a click he was gone.
"I have the right mind, to revoke your invitation, you high-handed...jerk", Sookie glared at the little red cell phone in her hand before none to gently putting it on the counter, then she went back to looking at the gap under her bathroom door.
