First off let me just say thank you to the kind people who helped me stick with my original draft. To be honest I was surprised. I am going to continue with the original story as I have had it in my head. For those of you who don't like that well you don't have to read it. Once again thank you to the people who encouraged me! You guys are awesome!
Erica's POV
Ok, I really didn't like being stuck here in the first place. I totally hated when I was told I would have to change my appearance. Especailly since I had blonde hair just like my mother. Now well lets just say my hair that once had a length beyond my breats is now at my shoulders and it is now a light red color thanks to Pam. I admit that yeah she knows how to do hair very well I just hated all of these changes they were all happening so quickly. Not to mention big, tall and weird would watch me like a freaking hawk. No wonder my mom probably never told me anything about him. He would porbably be the ultimate stalker!
Just as I walk out of the bedroom I see Eric looking down at me, shirt less with blood on his mouth. I quickly back up and try to keep my distance from him. Even if I have to use my powers to sheild myself from him I will do whatever I need to.
"Now you fear me?" Eric asks me with a smile.
"You have some of your dinner on your lips there pal." I tell him as I keep walking backwards.
He just smiles as he takes his hand and wipes it from his mouth only to lick it off of his hand. I don't know what to think right now. All the sudden my phone goes off. Both Eric and I notice it and we look over to the bed where it was sitting. I know he would try to go for it and before he has a chance to make a move I run and grab it and slid off the other side of the bed. To my surprise it's a text from Bill. I quickly read it. "Mom's not dead. Still being kept alive. Not sure where. Lay Low." is all the text message read.
I can hardly believe my eyes. She's not dead! Mom's alive oh thank god! Wait then why would that doctor lie to the whole vampire population? You would think this is something that everyone would want to know. Just then Eric grabs the phone out of my hand.
"So she's alive, your brother is right though. You need to lay low. Hate to have two sources of blood for them to use." Eric says as he still holds my phone.
"Yeah whatever. You and my brother seem to make all of my decisions for me." I say as I grab my phone back.
"For your safety."
"No you have something else in mind! I'm sure your only keeping me alive so whenever my mom does wake up you can suck up to her. I hate to tell you old man but she won't chose you just like she didn't the first time!" I yell at him at the top of my lungs. "Take a hint! She hasn't talked to you for twenty years!"
Eric then grabs me and holds me against the wall.
"You fail to realize the whole story young one. Compton and I were always in competition in everything including your mother."
"You just are sad, I mean come on this is worse than Romeo and Juliet." I tell him as I use my powers to push him a little off of me. "What good will it do to live in the past? You of all people should no the past doesn't matter and that the future is everything."
"You don't know what your talking about. However we have to get you out of here. I know of a safe house I could take you to. Then we can come up with a plan to get your mother back." Eric starts to tell me.
"What makes you think we need your help with that? My mom wouldn't go anywhere with you when one of us would lead her another way." I tell him really getting tired of his attitude.
"You need me to keep you alive. If your not with a vampire out there I know for a fact someone else will try to take you."
"What do you want Eric? I already told you that you and my mom aren't going to happen so why not just let me go and fend for myself. You don't owe me anything." I say as I start to change clothes carefully not to let him see my body.
"What makes you think that this all has to do with your mother?"
"Ew, please tell me you aren't trying to imply something else."
"I am merely telling you it's not safe and I will go with you even if you don't want me to."
"Whatever dude. Let's get to this safe place. There I can team up with my brother and get our mother away from those blood suckers."
Eric just gives me a look as he crosses his arms.
"What? You got a better name?" I say as I quickly put on a black top.
Eric leaves in a flash and I barely have time to smile when he is back and dressed with car key in his hand. Wow this guy is serious isn't he? I just smile and walk up to him.
"Alright Northman tell me where I can have my brother meet us." I tell him now crossing my arms.
"I'll tell you when we get there." Eric says as he turns and walks out the door.
Oh what a pain in the butt he is. I follow him out the door and out of the apartment into a hallway where I shouldn't be surprised to see a vampire feeding on a human. I quickly put my hand over my mouth. The vampire must smell me since he looks up at me and smiles. I quickly run past him and grab Eric's hand putting a death grip on it.
"Sometimes it's good to have a vampire at your side isn't it?" Eric asks me as he looks over to me.
"Don't get use to it pal. Think of it as a way of survival." I tell him as we keep walking.
"Your a lot different than you mother." he tells me as we walk out of the apartment building and onto the sidewalk.
"Thanks, I think." I tell him as we start walking further down the street.
After about three blocks we stop at a car and get inside of it. Without even giving me the chance to put on a seatbelt Eric starts our journey to only god know where. I quickly put on my seatbelt. He might not be able to die but I can and I don't want that to happen for a while.
"How long is this trip going to take?" I ask him.
"Through the night, when we arrive I must rest." Eric tells me not looking away from the road.
"Your still not going to tell me where we are going are you?" I ask him.
"You are not a patient person are you?" he asks as he glances at me.
"Not exactly. Listen if you want me to go by all your rules shouldn't we have some kind of trust or truth between each other?"
"You want to trust me?"
"Don't sound so surprised, I tend to trust more people than my brother or mother."
"Alright, what then would like me to do?"
"Well for starters you can answer a couple of questions for me."
"Why do I have a feeling I am not going to like this?"
"Hey fine I was just trying to be civil."
"Fine, ask but make them quick."
"Why in the world did you kiss me?" I ask him since I have been wanting to know this myself ever since it happened.
"My scent would be on you. That way other vampires would leave you alone."
"Wouldn't you scent already be on me since I drank your blood?"
"Yes, that was just an extra measure."
"Right, ok how long do you think we'll have to stay at the safe house or whatever cause we need to get my mom asap."
"That depends on how fast we can come up with a plan. My turn besides your ability to move things do you have any other powers?"
"Yes, like my mom I can hear peoples thoughts you know kinda like read their mind. Mom was always better than me though."
Eric looks at me mildly surprised about my powers. Of course this tends to creep me out a little.
"Your mother used her powers to help me once, someone was stealing from me." he tells me as he looks back at the road.
"Wonder who would have the nerve to do that?" I ask sarcastically.
"Another vampire who was ended quickly."
"Right, so you had my mom read peoples minds. Let's just leave it at that. I don't want to know if you loved her or anything like that cause well she's my mom."
"No worries there, Compton was the only vampire that had your moms heart. She was useful to me but not in that way."
"Wow, what was Compton's first name?"
"William, but everyone called him Bill."
"Oh your kidding me? My mother named her two children after vampires?!" I say as I put my hand on my head.
"What do you not like your name?"
"After finding out its origin I'm not so sure." I say as I look out the window.
Just when we think we are making good time we see a road block ahead of us. Great this is all that I need to go through now. Eric stops about three cars back. Of course one cop seems to be a natural human while the woman with him we all know she isn't. She goes to the cars and if there are any males in the car she takes the out and into the woods. Are you kidding me? Hey it's only one right. I move my hand to the door's handle when Eric puts his hand on top of mine.
"What are you doing?" Eric asks me.
"Letting off some steam. Hope you brought some extra clothes for me." I tell him as I take his hand off of mine.
"What exactly are you planning Erica?"
"Oh calling me by my first name now we're getting somewhere. Just trust me Eric. My brother and I have done this a million times. Not to mention I hate sexist vampires." I say as I open the car door and start into the woods.
"She is going to be the death of me." I hear Eric say as he opens his car door.
I make it just inside the woods where I can hear the woman talking seductively to the man. I take a branch from a nearby tree and break it off turning it into a stake as quick as I can. Just as the vampire goes to bite down on the man I attack and bring her down to the ground. The man just looks at me shocked as I wrestle with the vampire. I barely have time to register what is happening as she picks me up by my neck.
"Well what do we have here."
"Bad Blood." I say as I manage to bring my leg around her neck and flip her back onto the ground but also knocking the wind out of myself.
I hear the man take off back to the cars. I look up as the vampire woman comes after me again. It sucks being the hero that's when my so called powers come into play I use them to push me off the ground so that she misses me.
"Oh a special girl huh?" she says with a grin.
"You have no idea." I tell her as she comes at me again but this time I grab her by her neck. "Go to hell you blood sucking bitch."
I then thrust her forward staking her on the tree where I took the branch from. Of course when she explodes it somehow only lands on my shoe. Just then I hear something else in the background. I turn around and see a stunned Eric looking at me.
"So this is what you do for fun?" he asks me.
"No, I do this just for the hell of it. Lets off steam as well." I tell him as I shake the blood of my shoes.
"You seem to know what your doing."
"My brother and I had to protect our mother for so long we had to develop ways to do so don't you think? After all no one can call me the damsel in distress." I say as I walk up to him.
"Shall we go now? Or would your prefer to kill another of my kind?"
"Oh well I think I'm good. Not that you need to worry. Obviously I am keeping you alive, for some reason that escapes me." I say as I walk past him and start to the car.
"Your keeping me alive?" Eric calls out to me.
"Unless you wanna join the one I just killed then yes." I say as I keep walking.
Back in the car Eric just smiles at me not really sure why but we go up to the human cop who just stares at myself and Eric.
"One Vampire and One human. Any reason you takin the girl with ya pal?" The officer questions Eric.
"Just a friend, nothing wrong with that is there?" Eric responds.
"This vampire take you little lady?" the officer now asks me.
Ugh this is getting really annoying. I lean forward and take Eric's hand.
"He's just taking me home, any other perverted thoughts you are thinking in that small little mind of yours try to think about them at home." I tell him trying to block his perverted thoughts from my mind.
"Move along then." the officer motions for us to go past the road block.
I quickly take my hand back. I just sigh and roll my eyes oh what that cop was thinking was disgusting. I don't know how I am gong to get those images out of my head.
"Reading his mind huh? Apparently that part of your powers you can't control?" Eric asks me as the car takes off.
"I can control it but I used a lot of my energy taking down that vampire whore so forgive me if I slipped up." I say as I cross my arms.
"Can you hear what I am thinking?"
"I am blocking you on purpose. Anything that's going on up there I don't wanna know about." I tell him as I point to his head.
Eric just chuckles as he looks back to the road. I just lean against my door as I slowly start to fall asleep. The next thing I know I feel myself being lifted out of the car. I just lean against whoever is picking me up ignoring my inner self.
The next morning I wake up in what appears to be an old mansion of sorts. I sit up and look around. I notice the sun is down again as well. Once I turn to my left I see Eric sitting in a chair just looking at me.
"Are we here? This is the safe house?" I ask him.
"Yes, this is the safe house. I took your phone and let your brother know where we were and not to bring anyone else." Eric says as he stands up.
I quickly get out of bed and stand up as well. I feel like I always have to have my guard up with this vampire and I only trust him as far as I can throw him...that isn't far either. Still all these questions come to my mind.
"Why Eric? I don't get why your doing this? Trying to buy yourself a ticket into heaven just in case you do die?" I ask him as I look at him from my side of the room.
"Must everything I do be explained to you?" he asks when all the sudden he appears beside me.
I look over at him and really want to know what is going on in his head. Still a part of me doesn't want anything to do with him. There is a reason mom kept away from him for twenty years. Just as Eric is about to say something else when my brother Bill walks inside.
"Erica! Oh thank god your alright." Bill says as he runs to me and give me a hug and then he notices Eric. "Who the hell is this? Please tell me you didn't not with a vampire?"
"Ugh Ew no way, he just helped me. Bill if it weren't for him I wouldn't be alive." I tell him. "This is Eric, apparently he knew mom before we were even thought of."
"I mean no harm to you or your sister. I just brought her here to keep her safe." Eric tells Bill.
"Yeah and what do you get out of it vampire? You helping my sis to suck up to my mom cause trust me I've heard about you and I know she wants nothing to do with you." Bill tells him.
"You know about him? Why didn't mom tell me?" I ask Bill.
"He uses people like us Erica, once he's done he will throw you away." Bill tells me. "That however is not the biggest problem. The reason I took off is because I heard a rumor someone somehow got a hold of mom's blood and used it to bring a vampire back and it was true and he is our biggest problem."
"What are you talking about? How do you know this?" I ask him.
"I went to his grave and there he was, I mean seriously sis he was just a coffin full of blood before and now well look at him...get in here you!" Bill calls out to him.
Then a dark haired vampire walks inside and locks eyes with me. I have no idea who he is but once again this guy seems to know me.
"Bill Compton, Welcome back." Eric says looking at the vampire.
I just faint on sight.
"She does that a lot." I hear my brother say as he picks me up.
Bill's POV (Human)
Of course my sister had to loose it. I pick her up and put her in the bed. I am still surprised that she came here with a vampire usually she kills them by the dozen and now she is here with some blonde weirdo who mom already told me was bad news.
"Well since you two already know each other, William or Bill whatever the girl that just fainted in front of you is my mom Sookie's daughter, Erica." I tell him as I look to my sleeping sister.
"She reminds me of Sookie, the red hair is new though." Bill the Vampire says.
"That was Pam's doing. We had to have her blend in until we could take her out of the city." Eric says finally speaking to me straight forward.
"How long have you been with my sister? Plus what stupid non sense did you put in her head?" I ask him as I point my finger at him.
"I found her at that makeshift hospital, she was dying I gave her my blood and saved her. She has been with me since then. I have not as you put it put stupid non sense in her head either." Eric starts to explain.
"Why you never do anything unless it can benefits you." Bill the vampire tells him.
"I'm hurt Bill really, I want nothing from her or her family." Eric says.
"Yeah like vampires save humans out of the kindness of their hearts?" I question him. "Stay away from my sister, you try anything on her and I will stake you."
"What about your mother? Your sister said you two would come up with a plan." Eric says going back to a chair and sitting down.
"So that's it huh? You wanna see Sookie again?" Bill the vampire says walking up to Eric. "She didn't want you before Eric and she won't want you now."
"It's not like that Bill, you loved her and believe me I know it. You wouldn't let anyone forget it." Eric says looking back to Erica.
"Then why did you help Erica?" Bill asks again.
"I have no idea. I found her alright and yes at first I was going to drain her but I just couldn't alright! Don't ask me why because I have no idea!" Eric yells at Bill as he stands up.
"You were going to kill my sister? Wow you really are a monster. I have no idea why she even trust you." I say as I reach into my jacket for my stake.
"Really your going to stake someone who helped your sister?" Eric asks me.
"You just said your first intention was to kill her!" I yell at him.
Just as I bring my stake out Erica somehow moves in front of Eric guarding him with her body.
"Enough Bill, he wouldn't be the first one who wanted to kill me. All that matters now is he saved me and he has money. We can use him just like he used mom." Erica says as she stands against Eric.
"Now you'll know how it feels to be used Mr. Northman." I tell him as I throw the stake down and leave the room with whom I was named after right behind me.
Erica's POV
Whew. Jees and people say that I over react? Ha I think Bill you know my brother Bill not the other one could definitely beat me in that area. I just sigh as I let my arms fall down beside me. Then I am turned around to see a very confused Eric.
"What were you thinking?" Eric asks me in a stern voice.
"Wow, you really don't know how to say thank you do you?" I ask him. "That's pretty ungrateful Eric."
"Your brother is right not to trust me."
"Didn't we already have this conversation? I told you I trust more people than Bill does and now we have another old friend of moms who looks just dumbstruck. I wonder who would have brought him back though?" I say as I start to walk over to the window and look up at the night sky. "Trust me, the moment I saw you I knew you were trouble."
"Seems like this mystery is getting bigger and bigger." Eric says walking over to me.
I just keep looking forward and can see the sun starting to rise. I take my hand and start to close the drapes. I knew that Bill nor Eric would need to rest while my brother and I made a plan. Eric watches me as I finish closing the last drapes.
"Bill and I will rest and I suggest you try and get some as well." Eric says as he walks to the bed.
"I'm perfectly fine. Thanks though I need to talk to my brother." I tell him as I leave the room.
I can't stand this! Why am I being nice to his jerk? Obviously he used my mother probably telling her that he loved her and that was all a lie. I knew better than to listen to anyone in the house including both Bills. No matter what I have to do I will help my mother. Even if it means my life for hers.
