I woke up feeling better than I had in a long time. The house was peaceful, and the weather was nice. I put a bathing suit under a blue sun dress and made my way to the coffee pot. I felt a pang of sadness at the empty pot, Amelia always made some.
Shaking the thought I focused on having a good day. I poked around in the fridge and found some eggs and sausage. Perfect. I flipped on the radio an started on my breakfast. I was putting everything on a plate when there was a light knock on the door.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" An accented voice asked. Slowly, cautiously I opened the door. More paranoid than ever.
There a small girl maybe fifteen with dark brown hair smiling up at me. "I know it's early but my car broke down and I have no idea how to fix it. Would you mind if I used your phone. I'll stay out here."
I smiled back automatically-not the crazy smile either. "Come on in. I was about to eat breakfast, you want me to make you some?"
"If you wouldn't mind. I've never had southern cooking before." She said making conversation.
"Well i'll have to fix that. If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing in Bon Temps. It's not exactly a tourist destination.
The girl smiled, "I'm on my way to visit my brother in Shreveport, and I needed to stop by and see Sam and Bill. I need to go out to hotshot but I have no idea how to get there."
I stopped fussing over the eggs. "You know about..." I trailed off.
My guest laughed, it sounded like wind chimes. "Sorry I shouldn't laugh. But yes I know all about the Weres and Shifters. Even the fairys,, though they closed the door, which is just a mistake if you ask me."
My breath caught at the mention of fairys. Who was this girl. "Um...what exactly are you?"
"I'm sorry I didn't introduce my self. I'm Carrington. I go by Cara now. As for the what, not even I know that." she said the last bit with a harsh tone.
"I should probably explain since you've been kind enough to have me in your home. I'm a mix of all the Supes, not by choice but I was part of an experiment quite a while ago. I tend to live by my self but with De Castro in power I'm here to keep my brother from doing something exceptionally stupid." she shook her head but smiled when she mentioned her brother.
I didn't want to be in Supe business. Never ever again. But this girl just had an air about her. I felt like nothing could touch me if I was with her. Who odd for some one who looked about fifteen. "I can call you a tow and letcha stay here until Bill gets up. I'm going to Shreveport tonight so I can give you a ride there too."
"Thank you! I haven't seen my brother in almost a century. I'm excited!" She looked like any excited fifteen year old right then.
"Who's your brother?" I asked thinking it might have been one of the Were's in Alcide's pack.
"A vampire. Eric Northman."
