A/N: Hola! I just wanted to give a huge thanks to Kyokkou and mia for their reviews (Mia, I've written a response to your review at the bottom of the chapter). They completely made my day (and after a day of walking through gross slushy snow and ice to get to my classes, I really needed something to make my day). Also, thanks for the Follows and Favorites. This story is up to 12 Followers and 11 Favorites! ^-^ Anyways, here is chapter 4! Enjoy!

"No", I stated, shaking my head back and forth. "No way in hell." I glared at the smirking blond vampire.

"It's quite a nice bed, I assure you," Blondie said.

"It's not the bed I have a problem with, it's you." I looked from the bed he was currently lounging on, to him. He wanted me to sleep there. With him. On the same bed. At the same time.

"I'll behave, sugar," He replied, mocking the guy from the bar, James.

"Oh, come off. Is it really that difficult to believe someone would be interested in me?"

"Yes, I do find it difficult to believe."

"... And you wonder why I don't want to sleep here?"

"How am I supposed to protect you if you're in a different room?" Blondie snapped.

"How am I supposed to sleep while in the same bed as you?" I retorted.

Blondie stood up, a glare plastered on his face, and stalked towards me. "I don't give a damn about how well you sleep. I don't give a damn about you. But I will keep you safe. Godric requested I protect you, and that's what I'm going to do. Now get in the damn bed and shut up, you wretched human."

I glared at him, but stalked over to my suitcase (I had no idea how it got in the room... I don't even remember getting it off the plane...) and pulled a pair of shorts and a loose t-shirt out of it. I walked into the bathroom that was joined with the bedroom, closing the door behind me.

After slipping my clothes on, I walked back into the bedroom. Blondie was lounging on the bed again, his eyes staring up at the ceiling. I crawled into bed, snuggling under the covers. It was freaking heaven. I've never been on a more comfortable bed. Even Godric's didn't compare. This bed was warm, soft, and just amazing.

After a few minutes of laying there, I rolled onto my other side, before flipping over again.

"For god's sake, human, sit still," Blondie hissed. Cranky pants.

"Just tryin' to get comfy," I mumbled before sleep pulled me under.


I woke up an hour or two before sunset, so I had some time to kill. I took a shower (which was magnificent... honestly, this dude's rich as dicks) and changed into fresh clothes. I pulled out my phone and searched nearby restaurants that delivered. I found a yummy looking Asian place, so I called them and ordered some Stir Fry.

The sun was just setting when the delivery dude showed up. There was a hesitant knock on the door, so I skipped over and opened the door. I paid the man and took my food. When I turned around, there was a very angry looking Blondie standing by the bedroom door.

"What the hell are you doing?" He growled at me.

"Uh, getting food. I'm hungry."

"Fucking stupid. Godric told me about the people who are after you. What if that was them?"

"It wasn't."

He just growled, before his eyes shifted down the hallway leading to the back door. "Pam."

"Hello, Eric. What's all the growling about?" Came Emotionless Lady's response.

"Pam, meet Anna. Anna, this is Pam." With that Blondie turned and stalked back into the bedroom.

I turned to look at Pam. "Who pissed in his cornflakes?" She actually cracked a smirk.


Pam and I were chatting, apparently Pam was Eric's progeny (I am so making fun of Godric for being a grandpa), and it was about time to open up the bar. Blondie was lounging in his throne, clearly having nothing better to do with his un-dead self. Blondie ordered Pam to go open the doors up to the public, and I took my position behind the bar, Longshadow zoomed in next to me on his side of the bar. He had literally took some black tape (I think it was electrician's tape) and divided the bar into two sections. He had issues.

Anyways, Fangtasia opened, and I bar-tended. Woo. It was a booming night, so I was kept fairly busy. I had just given a vamp his TruBlood when a couple walked up to Longshadow's side of the bar.

The man had dark brown hair, and was short compared to Blondie. The woman was blond and a little shorter than the man... she reminded me of Barbie. I dub the Barbie! So your boyfriend shall be Ken. That's Barbie's boy-toy, right?

"How's it going, Bill?" Longshadow asked, sounding almost... nice? It cannot be so!

"Very well," Ken replied.

"I'll say it is... Is this your meal for tonight?" He asked, eyeing Barbie.

"This is my friend, Sookie," nope, pretty sure she's Barbie, "Sookie, Longshadow."

"Nice to meet you!" Barbie's cheery voice rang out. There was a brief pause filled with Longshadow's silence. "Uh, I'll have a gin and tonic, please?"

"And I'll have a bottle of O Negative," Ken said.

Longshadow nodded to me, and I rolled my eyes. Lazy ass. Making me do all the work. I quickly threw together the ingredients and heated Ken's TruBlood.

"Longshadow, Sookie here would like to know if she could ask you a few questions. Would this be accepted?" Yeesh, so formal.

"I just have a couple of pictures I'd love you to take a look at. You recognize either of these woman?" Barbie asked.

Longshadow looked over the pictures, and replied, "Yeah, I've seen them both here before."

"Great, thank you," Barbie said. "Do you also happen to remember who they hung around with?"

"That's something we don't notice here. You won't either."

"Okay then. Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time."

"This one," Longshadow held up one of the pictures, "she wanted to die."

"How do you know?" Barbie questioned.

"Everyone who comes here does... in their own way. That's what we are. Death." Well, that was a little... ominous. And completely unnecessary.

Ken paid Longshadow as I handed them their drinks, and they walked away.

I continued to bar-tend, doin' my thang, Longshadow was doin' his thang (whatever that was), and Blondie was doing' his thang (which involved kicking a man across the room... not even going to question it). I noticed Ken and Barbie up talking to Blondie, Barbie sitting next to Blondie and Pam hovering behind Blondie. So, because I had absolutely nothing better to do, I eavesdropped.

"She is mine," Ken said.

"Yes, I am his," Barbie agreed.

"Well, what a pity... for me," Blondie said. There was a moment where Blondie just looked at Barbie, eyeing her up. "Sit with us," He said, looking over to Ken. "We have catching up to do, you and I. It has been too long."

"Yes," Ken agreed in a voice that clearly said I-wanna-get-the-hell-outta-here. He moved and sat in the empty chair next to Blondie.

"We have to get out of here!" Barbie suddenly exclaimed.

"Sookie," Ken said in a warning tone.

"Eric, the cops are coming, there's going to be a raid." Barbie said, ignoring Ken.

"Tell me you're not an undercover cop..." Blondie said, the underlying warning clear in his voice.

"I'm not, but the man in the hat is." I looked around, finding the only guy in the entire bar with a hat. Huh. Guess hats are going out of style.

"Even if you're right, we do nothing illegal here."

"There's a vampire named Taren in the ladies' room with that man you kicked before. She's feeding on him." Barbie said.

I moved from the bar, making my way towards Blondie, Pam, Ken, and Barbie.

"How do you know this?" Pam questioned.

Ken looked at Barbie, shaking his head slightly.

"I'm putting my money on psychic," I said, walking up to them. Eric opened his mouth, probably to tell me to go back to the bar, but he was cut off by police barging in.

"Police!" the police yelled. Humans and vamps started running around, reminding me of headless chicken... kinda amusing...

"Follow me," Blondie said, grabbing onto my arm and dragging me with him. He led us out a back door and Ken quickly scooped Barbie up in his arms. "I enjoyed meeting you, Miss Stackhouse. We will meet again."

Blondie reached for me, like he was going to pick me up like Ken had done to Barbie, so I just jumped on him piggy-back style. Pam laughed, and we took off down the road.

A/N: Well, there's chapter 4. Thanks to all of you who have stuck with me through my first 4 chapters. It really does mean the world to me. :) If you have time, leave a review! Tell me what you like, what you didn't like, or something random. I'd love to hear from you guys (and gals)! Thank you!

Mia: I'll reveal her age in a latter chapter (I have it planned out ^-^). I'll let you know that she's kind of in her 20's. And yes, she is a bit immature. She'll mature throughout the story, don't worry. I'll also get into her back-story, which will explain why she is the way she is. And I definitely agree, sometimes people do need help. Anyways, thanks for the review! It made my day. ^-^ Let me know if you have any more questions. I'll do my best to answer them without giving anything away.

THANK YOU!
