Chapter Two

Sookie POV

Touching down in New Orleans, I am anxious, nervous and scared. I have not been home in 15 years and I vowed never to come back but yet, here I am, touching down in vampire city. New Orleans is famous for vampires and after Hurricane Katrina, it became even more famous. Being here in America, I am confused at why I am here...oh that's tight because an ever-so annoying daughter and a must-try-everything best friend wanted to see the place where I grew up, fell in love and left.

After a week of tears, fights and snappy comments, Sissy, Shai and I had finally decided on moving to America. Sissy had never been overseas and Shai, well she's looking forward to meeting her dad. I told her that it will possibly never happen and she isn't too happy with me at the moment. Sissy went and got us all fake passports and we sold all the furniture that we had in the house and brought a house in Bon Temps. By some strange coincidence, it happened to be my grandmother's house. I burst into tears when Sissy told me the address of our new home and Sissy knew the history of the house. At first, she wanted to sell it and buy another but I didn't let her. I am too happy to have my home back.

Shai is getting nervous like I am but not for the same reason. She is looking forward to seeing all the people that had matter to me the most. We had decided not to tell them who we really are and Shai didn't mind. In fact she is looking forward at keeping such a big secret. I smile, thinking about my daughter. She is really a one-of-a-kind and I grow even more scared about revealing her to a world full of vampires. What if they found out she was half-vampire and Eric's child no less?

Mum, stop worrying...I'll be fine...just be calm...stop filling your head and my head with all these thoughts!

Hey! What did I say about reading my mind?

Yeah, like you don't read mine all the time.

I stare at my child. She smirks and looks away. But she is right...things will be fine.

After our plane has docked and we grab our bags at the baggage department, we hire a car to drive to Bon Temps. We load the car with our bags and take off. Since I am driving, Sissy is in the front seat and Shai is sitting in the back seat. As we drive, I start to remember the scenery and sights. This is home and the trees look like they are welcoming me home. We then get Shreveport and by then, it had become dark. I drive into a garage and start fill up the gas tank. Sissy goes inside to the shop to grab some drinks and food and pay for the petrol. Shai is fast asleep in the back and I smile at my daughter as I looked into her thoughts and see that she is dreaming about glamering Zac Efron and marrying him. Standing there, I see a Ferrari pulling into the garage. It pulls up in front of me and the driver got out. I gasp in shock as I recognise the driver. It is Pam and she seems to be talking into a mobile phone.

"Yes, I am filling it up now, Eric. I shall be back at the bar soon, Master." She hangs up the phone and throws it in the car. She had been talking to Eric...my heart jumps and I feel a pang for my former lover. I then realise that Sissy is behind me and Shai had woken up. Shai gets up and gets out of the car. She then looks at Pam, who is now filling up gas.

Whatever you're about to do, don't do it...

Don't worry, I'm just gonna ask her a question.

Shailee Anna Stackhouse Northman!

Shai clears her throat. Pam looks at her. "Are you a vampire?"

Pam finishes putting gas in the car. "Yes, why do you ask?"

"Oh I have never seen one, that's all. I hope you're not offended." Shai says.

Pam shakes her head. "No, on the contrary, I am quite interested. You don't smell like any other teenager. Are you sure you're a teenager."

I suck in my breath, waiting for Shai to answer but then Sissy spoke up. "You mean is she annoying? Yeah...well anyway, nice to meet you, whoever you name is and we have to get going...See you around."

Sissy gets into the car, followed by Shai and soon I get in, after smiling at her. She gives me a smile back and we take off. I look at my rear-view mirror and see that is still staring at us.

"Who was that?" Sissy asks

"That was Pam?" I tell her.

Shai looks at me. "You knew her?"

"Yeah...her maker, the man who turned her, is you father." I tell her.

Shai gasps. "So in way, she's was like my sister/aunty?"

I nod. "Yeah, in way. She was friend."

"Do you think she recognise you?" Sissy asks.

"No, but she was curious about Shai." I say.

"People are always curious about me. I'm half vampire, but they don't know that." Shai mutters.

"Should we be worried about her?" Sissy asks as she takes the turn-off into Bon Temps. She is still staring at me. I shake my head.

Was she your friend?

Something like that...she and I were close, but she was funny, and she could be scary at times.

Wow, she was the first vampire we'd seen and she happens to be your friend.

Yeah...

As I think about Pam, that pang for Eric came creeping into my heart. Oh Pam, why did you have to show up now?

After a long drive, we arrive at my old house and I remember the memories I had shared with the house. I have been through so many things with the house, some good things and some bad things. The driveway is still the same, but the forest had gotten brown and much bushier. The house is old looking, but it was more than 150 years old. As I remember the times with the house, I couldn't help but to wonder when the men were coming back.

As we already have the key, Sissy unloads her suitcase and goes into the house first. As I unload mine and Shai's suitcase, I hear a noise from behind me.

I turn around and yell out "Who's there?", I see the girls run out, alert.

"You are not supposed to be here. This house does not belong to you. Leave." orders a male voice.

I take a step back as a figure approaches from the forest. I gasp when I see who it is.

It is Bill Compton.

Pam POV

Arriving back to Fangtasia after filling up on petrol and that unfortunate filling up blood...yum...I park the car and walk inside. I go to Eric's office and see, as usual, that he is on the phone.

"She's not there? Obviously this was a waste of time. Let me know when you do find her." Eric says angrily before hanging up the phone. He is looking for Sookie again. I sigh at Eric and he looks up. He looks so down. I have never seen him like this but he has been depressed, ever since Sookie left.

When Sookie suddenly vanished and somehow broke free off her blood bond with Eric, he began to look for her and track her down. I didn't want to say or think anything, but I fear that Sookie had vanished once and for all. There has been no sign of her existence.

"You were looking for again weren't you?" I ask.

"I won't give up finding her, even if she is alive or dead." Eric vows. Even though he didn't want to admit it, he was still in love with Sookie and has been for the last decade and more.

I feel for my master. He isn't like this. "Well, the car is filled up and ready to go."

He nods. As I think about the car, I remember the encounter with the young female. She is pretty and she reminds me of Eric but she had that arrogant and cocky look, a look that I am familiar with, as it is Eric's look he always gave whenever he was amused about something. A look I hadn't seen in 15 years. With her, were two women, one who is black and the other wore glasses and had brown hair. The woman with brown hair looked really familiar and she smelt familiar too. But the teenager didn't smell like a human. She smelled like a vampire, but a human too. But this girl couldn't be both.

I wonder...

I leave you hanging...
