Fox woke up to rustling and bustling down stairs. Sookie working to get the house ready for when they leave. Fox hurried down stairs to helped as well. Than the doorbell rang the next day. Fox had her stuff packed and ready by the stairs, her hair braided loose, wore a long sleeve baggy white shirt with matching jeans and gloves. She skipped to the door thinking a happy mood would help Sookie today. She was right. Sookie laughed as they both reached the door at the same time. A young man about Sookie's age stood there blackish brown hair, green eyes, and tan skin. He looked at Fox.
"I'm Sookie… This is my roommate Fox, she's coming with us" Sookie put her hand on Fox's head smiling.
Fox nodded at Alcide. Alcide talked a bit.
"And uh… In this club they like you to dress in like club dresses and such" Alcide said glanced at Fox.
She looked down at her clothes.
"Fox can buy something when we get there" Sookie suggested.
Fox's eyes widened in fear.
"You need new clothes and with how much you've got saved from working with Sam you need to buy new clothes" Sookie said kindly.
Fox pursed her lips snorted and walked off heard Alcide laugh at her display.
"Oh one more thing if we're gonna be… Living together… Don't Touch Fox's bare skin… she loathes people touching her skin…" Sookie said to him.
"Really? Why?" Alcide asked.
"I'm not really sure… I think we do something to her when we do… We have yet to see what would happen if someone touched her without her tensing up and concentrating very hard…" Sookie muttered.
"Oh… Everyone?" Alcide asked.
"Yes Everyone" Sookie nodded.
Fox grabbed her bag put it by the door. Sookie came out of her bedroom looking angry. Fox looked at her confused.
"Sam wants to talk to you" Sookie pointed her thumb at her room.
Fox walked into the bedroom and took the phone.
"Hello?" Fox asked.
"Keep her out of trouble" Sam said in a begging tone.
"Sure thing…" Fox nodded phone held away from her skin.
Suddenly Alcide's hand touched her neck where a scar was. Fox's head jerked back cried out suddenly saw Alcide fighting loudly with a woman. She clenched the phone tightly than looked at Alcide glared.
"Don't ever touch my skin!" Fox was trying to keep from yelling and snapping at him voice shaking and hands.
"Fox? You okay?" Sam asked.
Alcide tried to guide her toward the bed to sit down. She moved away from him.
"I'll be fine in a bit…" She muttered.
"Okay… Keep yourself out of trouble kiddo" Sam muttered.
"Hm" she muttered.
"I'm sorry…" Alcide was saying but she walked passed him.
She rode in the backseat relaxing eyes closed.
"I really am sorry" Alcide said as he pumped the gas, Sookie getting them coffee.
"Just… Don't do it again" Fox patted him on the back calmly.
"So it's just your bare skin right?" Alcide asked.
"Yeah at least… Not at least unexpectedly like that" Fox whispered softly.
He nodded. They reached his apartment. Fox took the couch slept on a blanket she bought with her. She didn't want to go to the Salon. Alcide left too. Fox had the apartment to herself. She took a shower. She sat there in a bathrobe and towel on her head with socks on her feet painted her nails black and pink. She braided her hair loosely some strands framed her face. Sookie came back had a dress for her. Fox ran from the room in sweats and a long sleeve shirt with her gloves. She hid behind Alcide and hissed as Sookie came out of the room.
"You are wearing something nice" Sookie snapped.
Fox pouted.
"Fox please" Alcide smiled a iceberg melting, fire starting, make any woman wanna kiss him smile at her.
Fox looked at him eyes narrowed in annoyance than grumbled walked back into the room.
She came out after Sookie in a long sleeve purple and black pixy like dress with matching gloves and stripped purple and black tights and shiny black flats with straps. He smiled at her. Fox sat in the back wore black tight spandex shorts under her shredded skirt. She ate with Alcide and Sookie. They drove to Club Dead. The truck drove away. Sookie held Fox's hand arm around Alcide's. They entered the Club. Fox had her hands behind her back hummed softly. Than saw Alcide tense and look seriously agitated and tense. Fox kissed his cheek same time as Sookie. He suddenly relaxed faster than any massage or hot bath could ever do for him. Smell of his mom in his nose and heard her humming his ear softly. Debbie looked angry now. Alcide smiled happily led them to a table. Fox ordered a virgin strawberry daiquiri. She than saw a familiar face.
"I'll be right back" Fox said.
She walked over to a man tugged on his sleeve. He turned. Long black hair tied back green eyes and tan skin that matched her own. He hugged Fox tightly smiled happily arms around her waist. She wrapped her arms around his neck cheek against his showed him a little bit of her past. He kissed her forehead. His sweet little sister she turned to the other green eyed man and hugged him as well. Fox kissed their cheeks than went back to the table pep in her step. She came up behind Debbie.
"Where's the other little rental?" Debbie asked.
Fox tapped her shoulder. Debbie turned "accidentally" smacked Fox who saw a flash of something, blood and familiar face. Fox stood there. Her brother growled loudly had fangs suddenly eyes started to change. His oldest brother grabbed his shoulder in warning. He looked at him than sighed.
"You know what would happen to her… he will stop at nothing to have her" the oldest whispered.
"Unless we kill him first we are the brother clan we could take him down easily with the rest of the brothers… she is our littlest and youngest… we need to protect her, Luke" Hunter whispered.
"In time" Luke whispered back.
Fox turned to Debbie glare on her face. Debbie stepped back a bit.
"Sorry… that was… not needed… I'll uh… leave now" Debbie quickly walked away.
Fox looked at Alcide and Sookie.
"Who was Bessie?" Fox asked.
They laughed together loudly. Her brothers looked around. Sookie stood looked at Fox's cheek awed kissed it. Alcide pulled her onto his lap hugged her smiling.
"Thank you" he whispered in her ear.
She nodded. The two danced. Fox sat at the bar asked for a apple martini since Sookie was too busy to notice her drinking. Fox sipped her Martini calmly than a hand grabbed it. She pouted slightly. He fought down a smile than gave it back to her. She smiled drained the rest. She loved her brothers she had four more out there somewhere in the night. Fox just hoped she wouldn't have to run again. She sighed softly than heard Sookie's voice snap at someone. She looked around saw a Were trying to get Sookie to join them. Fox jumped from the stool and ran over to them the Were tried to grab Sookie's arm when Fox suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled it behind his back. He cried out loudly. She kicked him in the ass made him go flying forward into his gang's table and shatter it to pieces.
"Oops…" Fox whispered.
