I was pulling my Merlotte's t-shirt over my head just as Sookie threw my door open "I'm le…" she trailed off "Where are you going?" she asked crossing her arms and looking at me with her gran look.
"To work" I said as if I hadn't been stabbed last night
"You need time to heal! You were freaking stabbed!" she yelled at me pushing me towards my bed.
"Stop!" I lifted my shirt "I'm fine" Sookie starred at my stomach, unscratched. I put my shirt back down and grabbed my sweater "Now if you don't hurry up were going to be late"
"Hold on! How in god's name did that heal over night!" She yelled after me running down the stairs. I sighed
"The same why you heal over night sometimes" I threw my hands up and walked out the door.
"But Bill was with me all night!" she chased after me
"Yes he was" I replied, she grabbed my arm
"Kiran you didn't!" she yelled in sudden realization
"It was infected, it was either that or die!" I yelled back in defeat "and don't get all mightier than thou on me! Cause you would have done the same thing!" Sookie opened her mouth to protest "I'll walk to work"
"You'll be late!" I just shrugged walking away from her. I walked down the dirt road that lead into, I suddenly got the urge to run just all out book it so I did. I ran faster than I ever thought I could, I made it to work in as little as 10 minutes it was usually a 45-minute drive. I laughed as I walked into the bar, I put my stuff in that back in Sam's office. On my way back to the front I ran into Sam
"Kiran your like a half hour early" he said surprised
"I know" I laughed
"But your not even supposed to be in today. Sookie said you needed a little while to recover"
"Well I'm fine, I don't need any time off"
"You drank from Bill didn't you? That's why you're fine after being stabbed not 10 hours ago!" he still harbored a small amount of hatred for Bill even after what happened with Maryanne.
"Sam calm down, I didn't drink from Bill. I found my own" I laughed walking away from him. Work went by slowly, I was on lunch shift so I was done by ten o'clock, I sighed remembering Sookie was on dinner shift and wouldn't be done till around one thirty. I started my trek home hoping I would get another urge to run, it would make getting home a lot faster. I walked for about ten to fifteen minutes before there it was, I didn't even think about it this time I just let it take over like my feet had their own minds. I hadn't even broken a sweat when I reached the front door, I smiled walking in the door. I wondered if it was Erik's blood that was doing this to me, he never really had explained anything, I just I passed out a little while after feeding off him and he left. Sadness pricked at the corners of my mind, no being upset will not happen tonight, I was so sick of being upset I mean it was just Sookie, Jason and I left out of all of out family. Tears welled up in my eyes, Sookie had saved everything she could from Gran's room after Tara and Eggs had smashed it up, Sookie had tried to restore Gran's room to what it had been before Maryanne but it just wasn't Gran's room anymore. I hadn't realized it but tears spilled down my cheeks, I hoped the bond that Erik and I now shared wasn't like the one Sookie and Bill shared, I would hate for Erik to realize just how pathetic I really am, and have to feel as miserable as I do right now. I sat down in the middle of Gran's room and cried, I didn't know what else to do, I hadn't cried in a long time, I didn't even cry at Gran's funeral, everyone thought I was ungrateful but really I was just holding back so I could be there for Sookie. I jumped when ice-cold arms wrapped around me, at first I thought Godric, but the skin was too grey, then I thought Erik but the arms were too thin. I looked up and found Jessica hugging me crying, I started to cry harder as I thought about how the girl and I never really got along but she cared enough to comfort me. "Thank you" I sniffed
"I know how you feel, I mean yah my parents are still alive but they're glamoured to the point they believe they only have one kid" the blood running down Jess' face was coming faster and faster
"I didn't even get to see Gran one last time before she died… she didn't even get to see me graduate…." My own tears came faster, Jess' arms tightened enough for me to not feel alone but not be crushed like a twig.
