Some is from the season 2 of True Blood, but some has been altered to fit Gabriella into the story. This is a short chapter I know, but I wanted a space in between this one and the next one where Eric finally catches Gabby (Or does he)? Don't be mad at me for the shortness though, I am working on the next chapter, and I hope it will be out very soon.

Future
Sookie's house was much the same as I left it, aka lack of Sookie; I was kinda bummed I still hadn't met her; she must be an extraordinary person to elicit such responses from Vampires like Bill and Eric. And if she was such a person, she may be willing to help me get Lafayette out of Eric's hell.
"Uh hi I'm Jessica, Bill asked me to come and check on you" gasping I spun around at the voice, in the lounge room there was a very pretty red headed Vampire in a bright yellow dress, strangely enough her Aura seemed to be of confusion, which meant a new Vampire. Mentally shaking my head I forced myself not to try and read her more, instead I smiled and watched in pleasure as her Aura changed into a less unhappy mood.
"Hey I'm Gabriella" I wasn't sure why I told her my long name, it just seemed right.
"Oh Bill called you Gabby, well never mind. Oh Bill asked me to tell you that Sookie is detained at the moment" I giggled accordingly at her apt impersonation of Bill's incredibly old fashioned speech.
"Is she alright, it's just I wanted to meet her before I..." I snapped my mouth shut before I mentioned where I had decided to move on to, you never knew who was listening; thankfully Jessica didn't pry.
"Ah Sookie is fine now, I think... Well with Bill looking after her she must be. Ok well I just came to tell you that, I'm sorry I wanted to go and check out the town, I would love for you to come" I smiled at her innocent excitement, hell the only interesting thing she would find here was, well nothing actually.
"Well I really appreciate you passing on the message from Bill and thanks for the offer to hang out, but I can't I'm sorry, maybe another time" Jessica seemed disappointed but she was a young Vampire, nothing stayed in their heads for long. Sure enough she shrugged and disappeared, laughing under my breath I considered making dinner, but eating someone else's food just didn't sit right with me; so I grabbed a book of a nearby table and settled down on my makeshift bed.
Eric smirked at the words he was overhearing, looks like dear little Sookie found out about Lafayette in the basement, no matter.
Eric walked out from where he had been listening, figuring her might as well make this an advantage to him.
"She's referring to the human in my basement. The human that traded sexual services with a Vampire... In order to sell his blood. Which as you know, is a grave offence." Eric waited not even seconds for the outburst he knew was coming.
"His name is Lafayette, you ought be ashamed of yourself for what you've done to him" he knew her hand was coming to expresses herself, humans where so predictable, well except Gabby but then she was not entirely human.
"I'm glad you're feeling better, and might I add that colour suits you very well" Eric smirked to himself, there was nothing like watching a human women fire up and Sookie didn't disappoint.
"Go to hell" Eric ignored Bills next words; he was hardly worth notice really.
"Oh it is not nearly enough, they tortured him and bitten him and shot him... And kept him down there in his own filth for weeks"
It surprised Eric to see Bill shocked by this; really you would think the man didn't know him. "This is true?"
"Others would have done far worse, and you know it" what Sookie said next did surprise him however, she actually demanded something.
"You're going to let him go right now, or I swear I will go to the police" furious Eric snapped out his fangs, crowding the insolent little bitch.
"I do not respond well to threats, but perhaps we can come to some sort of arrangement" (This is where I start to change it) Eric watched in amusement as Bill walked forward in front of Sookie. "There will be no arrangement Eric."
"Oh and why is that, do you believe yourself in possession of something I want more" Eric almost laughed at the audacity of Bill believing he has something of greater importance than using Sookie's abilities to find Godric. It was in the second that Eric noticed a scent of Bill, one that had literally escaped him not long ago. Grabbing the front of Bill's shirt, Eric ignored the annoying screech of Sookie objecting.
"Where is she" yelled Eric, infuriatingly Bill merely smiled, while Sookie looked confused.
"She is safe, for now. But ask this of Sookie and you will never see her again" spoke Bill calmly.
"What makes you think I wish of her that much" Eric released Bill, his face relaxing into one of indifference.
"Apart from you reaction now, I happen to know how you hate it when something escapes you...Even when you don't own it in the first place" Eric followed Bill's gaze to Sookie, he estimated her objections to everything being said to erupt any second now...
"Bill what is going on, who the heck is Eric talking about?" Sookie moved in front of Eric to face Bill as she spoke, it amused Eric to see Sookie trust Bill so much only to have it constantly be let down; and she was always surprised by it.
Bill sighed "Eric has showed interest in a young women, she is different. Like you are Sookie" he caressed her cheek "only far less precious" much to Eric's enjoyment she pushed his hand away, Bill really should know better than to coddle her.
"Now you listen here Bill Compton, I won't have some poor girl sacrificed to save me from owing Eric a damned favour" she turned to look at Eric.
"What is it you want, for Lafayette and the girl's safety from you" she spat out the last part like his name was dirt.
"Your assistance will only allow you the safety of one person, unless you wish to give me more than a mere favour" Eric ran a finger down her arm, already knowing how Bill would react. Snarling he grabbed Eric's hand, "Gabriella is at Sookie's house".
"Miss Stackhouse feel free to release your friend Lafayette, I look forward to our future deals" before they even realised it Eric was gone, he had a score to settle before he left for Dallas.
Sookie stared at where Eric had been seconds before, "you realise he just manipulated you Bill". She was furious at both Eric and Bill's audacity, before he could speak she held up her hand.
"I don't want to hear it Bill, every time I turn my back you have some new secret. Help me get Lafayette, we need to get him safe and let's just pray that Gabriella stayed inside my house where Eric can't get her."
