Chapter Four: Stranger in My House
Alana was sitting at the bar still doing the Web design when Tara came running out the bathroom screaming at Sam, "Keep that girl away from me!" The brunette was smiling at the lovely conversation Adele and her had. Adele handed her a letter and told her to never open the letter until she passed and finally needs answers. Alana had grown so close to the woman, she reminded her of so much of her Aunt Melody. The two ladies walked to the antique shop, she saw a book on mermaids and was engulfed. They walked out with five new books and sat in a little cafe, and spoke about everything. From how she felt about Bon Temp to her and Sam to how Sookie left her at the raid. She loved Gran, she almost thought of Adele as her own family. It seemed like they knew each other forever no wonder Aunt Mel told her everything.
Alana turned her attention to Tara as Sookie ran behind her, "OH MY GOD! Alanie! Where have you been? I was so worried about you." Alana widened her eyes at Sookie. The fuck you mean, you were worried! You left me behind while Bill carried you away like a princess. "Oh no! I didn't mean to leave you behind. But with everything going on a Fangtasia and the raid, Bill picked me up and we left. We thought you were behind us but then we went to turn around and it was all a mess. Later on on our way home we got pulled over, Bill glamoured the officer probably would have bite him too." Tara and Sam watched as Alana recoiled from Sookie when she went to touch Alana's hand. "...Alana I said-"
"I don't want to hear it, Sookie. I was so close to getting swept up if Sam hadn't helped me, I would have been locked up. I hope it was worth it last night, cause you and I both know that you and Bill heard me when I said to wait up." Sookie looked down at the ground nodding she did hear it. Tara got so angry at Sookie, "How could you do that? Leave poor Alana all by herself while the police came into a VAMPIRE bar and she had run on her own. I feel real sorry for ya, Sook, first probing in my head now this shit. Damn Sook, I knew that you were ignorant at times but you seem to be more than that." Sookie left mouth wide open and stomped away, Tara shook her head. "I can't believe you asked her on a date, just now. Still got time to back out." Alana looked at Tara and Sam. "Tara.." Sam groaned at her suggestion, just because she got angry at her best friend. Tara quickly went over to Andy who was asking about her relationship with Jason, since she had lied about them two being lovers.
"Wait, what did I miss? What date?" Alana looked at Sam, puzzled.
Sam wiped the bar down and looked at her apologetically, "I uh, asked Sookie on a date. You know if she would go get coffee after the DGD meeting at the church."
Alana was kind of hurt by his action. She thought that after last night they really clicked, she kind of had actually thought the alluring power she possessed had no effect on him. She looked down at her laptop and held back her look of anger and annoyance. She had all these emotions mixed up in her, she was angry at Sookie, hurt by Sam, felt like nothing cause of Bill. This kiss Sam and Alana shared had seemed like nothing to him, the dancing, the song it all seemed like nothing to Sam. He didn't even tell her that he was going to ask Sookie on a date, after she told him everything he could have gave a simple heads up.
"Uh... Well have fun then. I- I got" Her voice became different almost like the voice someone has right before they blow up; yet she continued, " to go. See you."
Sam looked at her feeling guilty, thinking she had developed feelings for him and this situation was just the icing on the cake to cause her to blow up. "Alana! Please, let me explain." He called after her but she left in a hurry. Tara ran after her, "Hey! 'lana where you goin' in a hurry!" Alana was still in Sam's line of vision, Tara turned her around to reveal Alana with a tear sliding down her cheek. Tara looked back at Sam, furious. "Alana please! Just talk to me."
"Shut up, Sam." Tara snapped at Sam. Wrapping her arm around Alana she took her keys and drove Alana home.
Alana, Adele and Tara sat on Alana's bed talking. Alana had told Tara all about her and Sam and the whole raid. When Adele nodded at Alana, Alana revealed how she told Sam what she was and how last night he helped her out.
"Oh honey, don't fuss over Sam. He ain't worth tearing up 'bout." Adele hugged Alana, feeling sorry about what Sam did. Even though she should be happy for Sookie, she didn't like that Sam did that to this poor girl she looked at as another grand-baby. Tara on the other hand was fuming. Sam Merlotte pulled this shit on Alana, he was lonely and took advantage of the situation but, the minute he can get Sookie he drops her like some old dog toy."Yeah! He's been hooked on Sookie for ages. I love Sookie but, if she never took any interest in him before she won't now. He's an asshole. You told him what you are that means you really trust someone, I mean you told me! I know you are annoyed he didn't tell you about him asking Sookie out, but as much as Sam Merlotte is an idiot, you can tell you mean something to him. "
"Thanks guys but, I think with all these emotions between yesterday and today I got really overwhelmed. I will be fine. Tara, go see Sookie. She is your best friend, even though she can be an air head, she loves you." After some convincing Tara left saying, she was coming to pick Alana up for the meeting.
"You really are good at lying. Now that can be a blessing or a curse." Gran continued, "Alana, now I know you are still hurt by what Sam did, but he does care for you. He is a man, Sweetie. They do dumb things and don't recognize it until someone gets hurt and in your case that was you as much as you deny it, you know it. I remember your Aunt Melody mentioned how mermaids have all these powers and that one of them was having great instinct. I know you had a reason for telling Sam, you trusted him and there ain't know shame in confiding with the ones you trust. I know Sookie was in a panic, this is a girl who rarely went out or had friends. When she got her chance for quietness in her brain and have fun she went for it; I'm guessing the whole police thing she freaked and ran. Sookie sounded really upset on the phone, just talk to her, please?" Alana hugged Gran with all she had.
"I love you so much, it feels like I have known you forever. You really mean so much to, I want to thank you. For everything. Letting me stay here, listening to me, teaching me how to cook and garden like a true southern belle, as much as I hate to say this Aunt Mel's death was a blessing in disguise. Meeting you has to be one of the greatest gifts of all." Gran kissed Alana on the forehead, "I know, I know. Now go on and relax. I need to go to the church and prepare for the meetin' tonight."
Alana tried to rest until her phone rang, "Hello?"
"Hookah where you at?" Only one person Alana knew who said Hooker. Lafayette. "I heard about the whole Sam thing. Suga' I will bust his ass. I know I don't know the details but Tara is here and we are bored. I was hopin' yo sexiness could help me cook and do some shots!"
"I don't know La-la."
"Yo white girl, if you ain't here in 20 minutes, I is leaving my job and draggin' you here! Yah heard!"
"Okay! Okay! Dammit, I am coming. Just make sure to get those shots ready."
"Good thing, baby girl. I didn't want sweat off my eyelashes off haulin' yo ass here. La-la loves you. Peace bitch."
Lafayette hung up on her, Alana laughed at the way he talked. This was what she needed, some time with her two friends that could cheer her up and laugh. Lafayette could always make her happy with his sass and Tara really understood her and the two of the combined was like watching a comedy show. She threw on a pair of black skinny jeans and a red loose fitted shirt. Her phone buzzed continuously, messages from Sam and Lafayette were on display. Sam wanted to talk to her meanwhile Lafayette was sending pictures of himself with Tara doing weird crap. Alana laughed as she put eyeliner, she did the wing and placed some mascara on. She looked in the mirror, her phone began to ring as she turned to see who it was. An unfamiliar number was requesting to FaceTime her, she shrugged and accepted it.
"Sorry, La mia bellezza. I am still trying to figure out this phone, I meant to text you but this came on instead. Anyways, how are you since we last saw each other in Greece?" Alana smiled at the dark haired person, smiling through the screen. She had missed, dearly since they last saw each other.
"I am fine, you know there has been some bumps in the road here and there but all will be fine. I moved to Louisiana since Melody had past, a good friend of hers offered me to stay here since I was planning on moving to America with her but, it was never completed obviously."
"I am sorry, we all heard it about it and give our condolences. I miss you, Alana. We need to meet again since, we are closer to each other now."
"I know, we did have some good times in Greece. I miss you too, Godric. Oh did I mention I went to a vampire bar and got hit on by the owner of the club and his companion? Now that's a night to remember. Especially the tackiness of the bar. Who names a bar, Fangtasia?"
" Well, that is my child for you. I knew that if you ever met Eric or his child Pamela, they would be all over you. He told me about the raid, the little telepath and the mysterious woman who reminded him of the North Sea."
"Wait, he is your child. Man, do you picked them well. Yes, the raid well, that is a whole other story for another time. Can you do me a favor and tell Eric to not creep on me, he asked if I was someone's. Not that I would ever tell him who I belonged to, I said he wasn't the first to ask. He has a fantasy to have a threesome with his child and I."
"Eric said that! *Roars in laughter* Eric always was a creative one in the bedroom. Are you going somewhere?"
"How did you know?"
"Well, Ally you are fixing your hair into that bump thing on the back of your hair you always use to wear."
"Don't say it like that! You make me sound like I was hit on the head. Yes, I am going out to see a friend. By the way do you like this shirt or should I wear the one you bought me, I am going to a church afterwards for some town meeting."
"Mine of course, I do recall you saying I have amazing taste." Alana took out her shirt of the drawer and put on the shirt Godric bought her, not caring to cover herself while talking to Godric. He has seen her, after all she was a mermaid. "Well, be safe and I will inform Eric to leave you be. I will visit you very soon."
"Okay, Ricky-Ric. Thanks by the way."
"*Chuckles* You know not to ever call me that unless we are alone but, anything for you Ally. Now I must go before I get the bleeds. Stay in touch, I love you."
"I love you more."
"I love you most." Godric ended the FaceTime. Alana thought about how she forced Godric sit there and watch the movie Tangled with her. They had rephrased that one scene with the I love you's exchanged between the "mother" and Rapunzel as an inside joke. Alana headed out the door and into the car driving back to Merlotte's. She thought about how Godric claimed he couldn't stand her movies that she picked whenever he visited. She remembered when she first met Godric 10 years ago. Since she was immortal she barley aged. When a mermaid becomes of age to receive all their true powers they age to their true age. Which basically means how old you are meant to look. Her Aunt Melody looked 45- 50 meanwhile Nexie looked 18. Alana laughed at the thought of Nexie convincing Godric into wearing a Santa hat since, Nexie claimed he was an old man and so was Santa. Godric taught Nexie and her how to speak Swedish and even Italian, Nexie claimed it was the language of stupid love stories instead of a romance language and gave up. Alana learned it knowing it was the language Godric had learned since he was a roman slave.
She pulled up at Merlotte's forgetting all about what had just happened early. She was smiling at her memories of Godric and Nexie. She walked in through the back door into the kitchen. Right there she was greeted with a shot glass in her face, "You are 5 minutes late bitch. Now drink so we can get started!" Tara hollered at her. The trio laughed and cooked, Alana told Arlene to leave that she will take over since, Arlene wanted to leave with Renee. Waiting tables and laughing for the few hours they had until they left to go to church.
It began to get dark out, and Lafayette was able to begin closing down the bar since most had left to go to the DGD. Alana looked at her phone saw a text message, the unknown number appeared as the message read, 'So you tattle tailed on Pam and I to Godric? Aren't you so mature.' She smiled at the text message and responded, 'Hey, I try my hardest to be the bigger person. Bite me.'
She shut the lights off and hopped in the car driving to the church, she followed Tara. At a light she stopped and saw the message box on her had an unread message, 'Don't tease me. I don't play that often. But if you insist I can help you out in the biting department ;)' Alana almost face palmed herself at the fact she wrote bite me to a vampire, a very horny one at that. She decided to shoot a text to Godric complaining that Eric was sexually harassing her, she laughed at the though of Eric getting in trouble by Godric again. She arrived at the church late. Bill had begun talking as Tara and Alana entered. Tara saw Sam and Sookie sitting next to each other looking at the duo. The girls decided sitting on the opposite side of them next to Arlene and Renee would be best. Alana opened her phone and laughed that Eric decided to make a group chat between the three:
Eric: Alana tell Godric you were lying to him, when you said I was harassing you.
Godric: Eric, stop acting like a child, you are a thousand years old.
Eric: She lied!
Godric: Ally would never.
Alana: Shut up both of you, I'm in church.
Eric: And you haven't started to sizzle and burn yet? I'm shocked.
Godric: Apologize to her.
Eric: She asked for it.
Alana: Actually, you immature dim-witted twat, I am here cause the whole town is listening to Bill go on and on about his boring ass life a solider. On account to the DGD club.
Eric: Tell him to shove it, he is rather dull. Did he get up to the part where he wanted to come back to his home and remember it's "glory."
Alana: Tell me about it. I rather play hide and go seek with a damn ghost that this shit. Or even be at your cliche club than listening to this. "My life was.. Blah blah..Solider"
Godric: Ally and Eric stop being disrespectful. Ally pay attention you always did love history and Eric do something.
Eric: Well I was planning to do some work but, now I am feeling rather... intrigued by billy boy's life. Maybe I should crash the gathering.
Alana: NO! Godric tell him not to! And I love history when it doesn't come from a whinning bitch boy.
Godric: Eric, no. Ally, watch what you say. Now stop texting. You can text after words, I highly doubt the woman you reside with would approve of you texting during her meeting.
Alana locked her phone and looked at Bill. She began to zone out as he spoke about his life before war.
"Momma why is he so white?" Arlene's son said. Alana's ears perked at what the child said. Arlene shook her head and responded, "We're white, he's dead." Alana muffled her laugh as Tara tried to contain her composure. Arlene was sweet but, boy she said some dumb crap. Jason stared at Tara, when Alana glanced around and saw Jason. She wondered when he got out of the slammer and why was he so jittery? Alana elbowed Tara in the and nodded towards Jason with a questioning look. Tara shrugged her arms muttering, I covered for him saying we slept together so he had an alibi and now he has gone bat shit. Alana stared at Tara, "The hell you mean you lied?" Tara looked over at her, "Shut up, we all know he is to stupid to do that shit."
Afterwards Alana met up with Bill and Adele. Bill apologized to Alana, in response Alana said she forgives him but, still doesn't change what he did. Bill stiffened at the sight of Sookie and Sam walking towards the trio. Sookie hugged her Gran and then Alana, whispering in her ear how she was sorry. Alana nodded and told Adele she would wait up for her. She was about to leave, when Sam grabbed her arm. "Cher, listen, I know you don't want to hear it but I am sorry. I never knew you felt that way about me and I understand now why you sang that song, More Like Her. You were referring to Sookie, I didn't realize it until now. Look, I want to be close with you. I want you to see me as a friend, a brother cause you are really important to me and the only one I can confide in." Alana looked up at Sam, and laughed dead into his face. Confusion washed over Sam's face, "That song was the only country song I knew, Sam. Yes we shared feelings especially last night but, I realized it was our friendship. I am annoyed you didn't give me a damn heads up about the date, you dumbass. Go have fun with Sookie, I forgive you. Now get out of my face before I take it back."
Sam hugged Alana and Alana left for home. After getting lost for a bit she arrived at the house. She entered through the back door and noticed it was open. She got spooked but remembered people tend to do that. She went up stairs and showered, she heard Gran pulling up the driveway and she walked past Gran's room see her clothing on the bed. She heard Gran downstairs, she quickly changed into pajama shorts and a tank top and suddenly heard another pair of footsteps coming up the stairs. She knew it wasn't Sookie's or Grans; she heard a gun cocked and she hid under the bed with her phone, she began to panic and could only think of one person to text. Eric.
She opened up the group message and quickly wrote:
Alana: Someone is in the house with a gun. 1 person male, Adele downstairs no idea what is happening. Eric help!
Eric: You live with Sookie, right? Where are you now? I am coming.
Alana: Yes. Under the bed in my room. Hurry! He is close, I'm scared.
Godric: Ally, please don't move. Eric circle the house first, unless you hear any screams then forget protocol.
Eric: Alana, I'm on my way. Stay quiet.
Alana: He's here. He is right by me. Dark hair, timberland boots
Eric: Alana don't make a move.
Godric: Eric, he got her! GO NOW.
Alana had been dragged from under the bed. She hit the man and made a run for it. She screamed Adele's name but she didn't know Adele was bashed in the head and passed out on the floor. The man regained his composer and darted after her. He grabbed her hair and pushed her, tumbling down the stairs that led to the foyer she landed on the flat surface that cause a break in between the stairs in order to turn. The man roughly grabbed her and smacked her on the face. In an unknown accent he said angrily, "You made a wrong choice to come here." He smacked her repeatedly.
Eric took to the sky it took him about 10 minutes to arrive at Sookie's house but he was met with a gruesome scene. The door was left wide open and he could see Alana lying on the floor with her hair and blood covering her face. She was raggedly breathing, still alive. Having a knife lodged in side she very quietly managed to invite Eric in. He ran to her smelling the scent of another person's blood. "Get her" Was the last thing Alana managed to say before passing out of blood loss. Eric ran into the kitchen and saw and elderly woman on the floor with a frying pan beside her. Eric was conflicted on what to do. He dialed the police station and reported a home invasion and two victims on the brink of death.
Sookie pulled up in the car with Sam. Eric was standing on the porch watching Adele and Alana being place in an ambulance.
"What the fuck is going on!" Sookie screeched as she ran up to Eric. Bill appeared next to her as Eric told her what Alana told him and what had happened. For the next couple of hours Sookie sat there numbly as she scrubbed the floors. Eric had left promising to inform her what was happening with her grandmother and roommate. Bill stayed with Sookie cleaning up with her as Sam made his statement. Sookie was lost in her thoughts, as she laid down with Bill in her bed she felt safe but scared. What Eric had told her scared her. The amount of blood on the floors and Eric's emotions took a toll on her. When he has said Alana texted him, she was confused on why she had notified Eric of all people, then again she didn't care. All that mattered was he was there and helped them out.
Eric called up Godric telling him he needed to come quickly. He wouldn't tell Godric what happened but, told him it was almost like the scene of a horror movie, only worse.
The night had not played out to be a good night as everyone had assumed it would be. Not by far.
I hope you all enjoyed it! You will be meeting Godric and Nexie next chapter! But I want know what you all want to happen.
