Chapter Four

***Emmie's POV***

"Bill must really wish that you weren't related to him. You are just exquisite," A voice said to me.

"Who are you?" I called out into the darkness.

"I'm sure you would love to know, but we have time for that later," a man with blonde shoulder length hair said, walking out of the darkness.

I noticed his fangs as he walked towards me. Great, another vampire was just what I needed.

"I believe that some sort of thanks should be in order. I did save your life."

I could hardly find words as the vampire's fangs grazed my neck. My body tensed, but I couldn't hide the arousal that felt slowly rising in me.

"T-thank you," I choked out as his lips made their way down my neck.

"Good girl.."

The vampire pulled back before sinking his fangs deep into me.

I woke up with a start. I was sweating. I struggled to catch my breath while I reached up to touch my neck, a bit surprised when I found that there were no puncture wounds from the previous events.

"Careful, sweetie. You'll hurt yourself," Sookie's voice said.

"Sookie? Where am I?" Realizing I was on a couch in a home that I didn't recognize.

"You're at Bill's house. Bill, I think it's time," she answered then turning to Bill.

Bill walked over to me, looking a bit cautious. He placed a cold hand on my cheek and tilted my face upwards so that we had eye contact.

"Emmie, do you remember what happened tonight?" He asked, giving me a strange look.

"I'm not entirely sure. Bill, why are you looking at me like that?"

He looked shocked for a moment, but continued on.

"Can you feel my influence?"

I stifled a laugh and shook my head no.

"Damn.." Bill hissed under his breath as he pulled away from me.

"I should have known that she couldn't be glamoured," Sookie stated to herself.

"Oh, sorry about that. Maybe I should have said something?"

"A vampire has tried to glamour you?" Bill asked.

I shook my head.

"You're the first to try, but Tanta always said that I couldn't be. She was a close family friend that I was staying with before I came here. She knew about me being a telepath and helped me control it. Sadly, she passed away a few months ago."

"I'm so sorry for your loss," Sookie said, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"It's okay, I know that she would have wanted me to come back to Bon Temps. I plan to make her proud."

Sookie and Bill looked at each other and smiled as I slowly started to remember the night's events.

"The vampires...they...bit me...and..."

"Eric gave you his blood,"Bill said.

He didn't look pleased at this fact. I assumed that Eric was the same vampire they were telling me about before.

"You'll have to send my thanks to him. I'm sure that I wouldn't still be alive if he didn't."

"Actually... I think you'll be able to do that yourself,"Sookie said.

I gave her a confused look.

"What are you talking about?"

Bill stepped over to where Sookie and I were on the couch.

"When Eric was here, he's decided to summon you to Fangtasia. When you touched his hand, he saw something," Bill said then placing his hand on my cheek again. "I have to ask you for your own good, what are you?"

I slowly shook my head.

"I don't know. Tanta was going to tell me, but..." I trailed off as I felt tears starting to form.

"Bill, that's enough for one night. I already called Lafayette to tell him that you're with me. He says that he's going to be out handling some business so you're welcome to stay with me for the night, he's already drop some of your things off at my place."

"Sookie, I couldn't impose. I'm old enough to stay home by myself. Lafayette overlooks that sometimes but-"

She cut me off, "Really, it's no trouble at all. Besides, Gran would love to meet you."

I knew that I wasn't going to get anywhere with Sookie, she was as stubborn as a mule.

"Okay then," I said as Bill helped me stand.

Once I was up and on my feet, Sookie and I said our goodbyes to Bill then made our way to her bright, yellow Honda Civic. Everything about the car ride was silent, except for Sookie's thoughts.

"What is this girl? Is she lying about it? It's not good that she was summoned by Eric, he's not exactly the most trustworthy. And what the hell does he want with me, I went there one time for Jason-"

"Sookie, if I knew what I was, I wouldn't hesitate to tell you. I feel like I can trust you, but I honestly don't know. Also, don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

"Shoot, I forgot she could do that," Sookie thought as I chuckled.

"But you have no idea what you're getting yourself into. Eric isn't exactly someone that you want to get to know."

I sighed. "We'll see," I said when we pulled up in front of Sookie's house.

Her house was absolutely adorable. You can tell a lot about a person by the type of house they live in and Sookie's house fit her perfectly. When she opened the door, we were greeted by an elderly woman with long graying hair.

"You must be Tara's cousin, Emmaline. Sookie called me and told me that you were coming," she said with a smile, reaching out to shake my hand.

"Please call me Emmie, Mrs. Stackhouse. You have a lovely home."

"Oh, sweetie, please call me Adele."

I smiled sweetly at her. She was kind, just like Sookie. I owe a great deal of thanks to her. If it weren't for her, Tara probably wouldn't be alive or at least somewhat sane. Well, as sane as Tara could possibly get.

"Well, the guest room is right this way," she said, leading me up the stairs.

I picked up the dufflebag that Lafayette had dropped off for me and followed her.

"My room is right down the hall so just let me know if you need anything."

"Thank you so much, Sookie. I'll be out of your hair in the morning, I have to go see Sam about a job."

"I can take you there, besides Gran won't let you leave without having a hot breakfast first."

I placed my bag on the bed before giving Sookie a hug.

"You and Bill, you're a good match."

She smiled sweetly at me and looked down at her feet.

"We just started going out, it's nothing too serious yet."

I smirked at her deviously.

"Keep it up and you'll be my grandma."

Her eyes widened at my comment.

"Emmie!"

"I'm just kidding...maybe."

We shared a few laughs before we said goodnight. Bon Temps was quickly becoming my home again. My circle of friends and family was small, but there was so much love in already.

I quickly showered and changed into a tank top and pajama shorts. Soon after, I got into bed, but it wasn't long after until I heard a tapping on the window. At first I ignored it, but the noise continued until I finally got up to check the window. To my surprise, there was nothing there. I shrugged it off as just being the wind and went off to bed. My dreams were soon filled with rough touches and pleasure from the blonde vampire.

I hoped that everyone enjoyed this chapter! This story is quickly becoming my favorite to write. I'll be taking a slight break from this story to work on my others that I have posted on here and on Wattpad, but I'll be back pretty soon.

Special thanks goes out to my best friend Sharlie and ozlady80 for all of their help in editing and giving me ideas for the story :)
