Hey guys!

Sorry this is taking so long to write.

I just got my first car, a 2008 Dodge Charger with a V6 engine! Mom and Matt didn't think I could handle a V8, but hey, I'm not complaining…yet.

Anyway, here's the chapter. Enjoy!

"Oh my God…"

I quickly closed my eyes and shook my head. How could Eric be sitting here at 2:00 in the afternoon?!?

I opened my eyes, only to find myself looking at a blonde, fair-haired gentlemen who wasn't Eric. I let out a sigh of relief as I looked the man over. He was somewhat muscular, had blonde hair to about his chin that was gelled neatly back. He had on a Ohio State shirt with a regular pair of jeans and red, white and black Nike shox. There was also a leather band on his left wrist. The only difference between his and Eric's looks is that this man had warm brown eyes. They contrasted very nicely with his surfer's tan and honey colored hair.

"Hello, the name is Alex. You must be Sookie?" He asked with a smile. His voice wasn't as rough as Eric's, but it wasn't too soft, either. Alex… great name.

Remembering my Southern hospitality, I quickly regained my composure and smiled my signature smile. "Yes, I'm Sookie. Nice to meet you. Don't be offended by my asking, but how do you know me? Well, my name?"

"Ah, well," he blushed a little, and gestured to the seat across from him. "Would you like to sit down? It's sort of a long story."

"Uh, yeah, hold on." I quickly turned around and told Terry to tell Sam that I was taking my break. "Okey-dokey," he said.

I rounded the corner back to Alex's table and took a seat. "Ok, shoot," I said, smiling.

"Well, first off, I'm one of Eric's last descendants. Me and my twin sister came here from Ohio after our parents died in a car accident. They told us both when we turned 16 that we had only one…er, family member still sort of alive. She told us about Eric, and how he owned a vampire bar called, uh…" He looked at me questioningly.

"Oh! Uh, Fangtasia. Sorry, it's just really big news that Eric still has a descendant. Well, a living descendant. I thought his family died when he was turned?"

"Well, our mother said that our ancestry was passed down from a…bastard child." He said, acting as if he was embarrassed. "But yet, his looks have been dominant throughout our line. As you can see," He said flashing a small smile my way.

I laughed, shaking my head. "Apparently, his attraction methods have also. So, how long are you and your sister in town for?"

"Well, see, that's where you, possibly, come in," He said, trying to hint at something. "See, we're going to try to move and live down here, just in bon Temps for awhile. Then, once we prove to you that we can get jobs and maintain a stable life, Eric said he'll give us both jobs at Fangtasia as we both head off to college. We'll live in Shreveport. He's giving us 6 months to try and create a stable life."

"So, what do I have to do with it?"

"Well, we were wondering if maybe you could help us find an apartment to live in and maybe a place hiring two 18-year-olds."

"Oh, so your twins?" He nodded. "That's so cool! Where is she?"

"Er, uh, well…. she's sleeping."

"But it's 3 in the afternoon…Wait, is she-?"

"A Vampire? Yeah."

"Oh…" Was all I apparently had in my vocabulary at that moment. "Well, then, that's nothing that I'm not used to." I said, with a reassuring smile. "So, I've got to get back to work, but while you're here, is there anything I can get you?"

"Yeah, I'd love a coke, please." He said, smiling.

"Coming right up!" After smiling one last time, I rounded the corner back to Terry and Sam.

"Hey Sook, who's that?" Sam asked, looking almost worried.

"Uh, just a…relative of mine. He's in town for a while with his sister since their parents just died in an accident…terrible loss for the family, you know-"

"Sookie, why didn't you tell me there was a death in your family?! You know I would have given you time off."

"Trust me, Sam, we weren't that close," I said, trotting off.

5 hours later, at 7:00 pm., I was finally allowed to go home. Alex had left about 10 til 3:00, waving goodbye and flashing a smile to me when I had been cleaning the tables. I walked out of the bar into the November air. It was only 65 degrees out, but it was enough to make me shiver. I got in my car and started the voyage home.

As soon as I pulled up to my house, I knew something was off. First off, it was a gut feeling. Secondly, there was a red corvette in my driveway and no Arlene. Something was definitely up. I shut off the car and walked up to my porch steps, weary about what news the 6'4 vampire had to share. I'm sure he was hear on business of the twins, but I've been proven wrong many times before.

He leaned against the doorway, staring at me. He was very clean shaven and in a deep blue V-neck shirt with an old fashioned pea coat over it. His jeans had the "new, but looks worn" look. Like your favorite pair. But to top the look off, he had on the original black and white Converse. I almost melted at the sight of him. Almost.

"Sookie," he purred, his eyes scanning my figure.

"Eric," I said curtly. I walked around him, and opened the door . "Come inside, please, but I'm afraid it'll have to be short. I'm babysitting-"

"Already taken care of. You are free of all duties tonight."

"I-W-What?! How is that- Pam isn't-"

Eric was suddenly right in front of me, with his hands on my shoulders. "Sookie. I've had one of my workers baby-sit for you. Pam simply glamoured Arlene into thinking that Coraline was the babysitter all along." He smirked at my shocked reaction.

"Eric, I don't care if you're the next Adolf Hitler and I'm the last Jew on the planet, you cannot interfere with my life!" The Stackhouse fury was only sizzling.

"I know, and for that I am so sorry," he said, sarcastically. I shrugged his hands off of my shoulders as my anger started to get the better of me.

"You don't have to be such a jackass!"

"Sorry, it comes with the fangs."

"What. Do. You. Want.?"

"You."
