As I am pulled to my day time slumber I keep thinking about what she said. Is my beauty only skin deep?

Chapter 4 Teachable moments

EPOV:

As I awaken from my daytime rest, I run through the pervious nights events. She saved two vampires, probably more last night. So now I know she doesn't hate my entire race. Just me. No she doesn't hate me I could feel that instantly when she took my blood. We got off on the wrong foot. She thinks my behavior towards her was normal for me the first night we met. And even though it infuriates me I have to agree with her my behavior left her with little desire to get to know me further. Hopefully I can find the time to redeem myself this evening. There is a knock on my door. The donor I ordered last night. I open the door and in walks a scantly clothed blonde blood bag. Her hair is almost the right color. But her body is off. In the place of the curves I desire are skin and bones. Everything is going wonderful until she speaks.

"What can I do for you tonight Master?" being called this by the blood bags usually spurs me on like no other. Frustration racks through my entire being. Just when she said master Sookie's disgusted face looms in my mind.

"What is your name woman?" never have I asked this of a meal.

"Lilly, Master." The same feelings hit me when she says master again. I grab her more roughly than I should have and yelps. The stink of fear that spreads through the room like wildfire usually turns me on. Now however I find myself disliking it. Hating it really. Then my mind reels over what this little fae has done to me. I find myself wanting to change her opinion of me as if it mattered what she thought! All this thinking and these Gods forsaken feelings in have put me out of the mood. I grab my wallet from the night stand and go the woman. Taking out a few bills as I stand in front of her she asks.

"Am I not pleasurable enough master? Did I do something wrong?" she starts to tremble. For the undead life of me I cannot explain why I asked my next question.

"Lilly, why are you in this line of work?" she looks just as surprised by my question as I am.

"Um... well… " Humans, They can never just answer a damn question.

" Spit it out woman!" Fear permeates the air once more.

"My daughter is in the hospital master, her bills are piling up and a friend of mine mentioned this place to me. She said she made good money here and all she had to do was give blood and sex to vampire and she made three thousand dollars." Her lower lip starts to tremble and I can smell the tears even before they fall. "I have never done anything like this before. It was my only option you see. Please just tell me what I did wrong and I swear I will do better I know I can please." The tears are flowing down her cheeks like a stream.

"You say this is for your daughter?" I ask and she nods meekly. I pull all the bills from my wallet.

"Here." I say as I thrust the bills in her direction. "Take this. There is over five thousand here. I want it spent on the medical bills and anything else she may need. But you will tell no one of this do you understand?" with shaking hands she takes the money. She looks me in the eyes for the first time and I see the emotions cross her face as she feels them.

"Oh god! Thank you so much you have no idea how much this will help. I couldn't make this money in six months at my normal job. My little girl and I are so grateful." And I can see the honesty in her eyes. Not that I will admit this to anyone out loud ever but I feel a little sorry for her. And I guess the surprises aren't over.

"What type of work do you do?" She sniffles and laughs and I find myself liking the laughter opposed to the tears.

"I am a waitress at a local bar." Waitress huh. That explains the muscle tone in her legs.

"If you ever find yourself in this situation again come here and ask for Godric. Not all vampires are gentle. I myself have been known to be rough. And something tells me that wouldn't appeal to you am I right?" she nods and I can see her confusion hell I am confused as well. I don't know why this matters but it does.

"What I mean to say is this. If you find yourself in need of money again for this reason then come here and ask for Godric. You won't just be given money but he will make sure the vampire you are with is more…. Suited to your demeanor. Now if you don't mid I have some where I need to be. But remember tell no one of this." She falls to her knees in front of me and places her head to the floor. I find I like this show of submission far more than those I receive at my bar. Because this is an honest and grateful gesture. Not someone trying to take from me.

I leave her there in her submissive position as I go to find my maker.

I can feel her before I even enter. Confusion and regret are prominent. Ad I near the door to Godric's hotel room I feel him tell me to wait. Then I hear their conversation.

"My child is quite taken with you Sookie." I feel apprehension and desire from her. She wants me too.

"Yes I get that. Can I ask you a question?" there is no response but she doesn't stop so I guess he acknowledged her request.

"What is his normal behavior? I mean to say after what I just heard that I am confused would be an understatement." What she heard?

"What do you mean little one?" thank you Godric I would like to know as well.

"Well he just helped someone and asked she never mention it. I won't tell you what he did but what I will tell you is that it goes against everything I thought of him. Our first meeting… well I am sure he has told you of it. But between that and what I just heard I am torn. So I think I may have jumped the gun as they say. On one hand I want to kill him... I won't Godric I swear! No matter how much he irritates me. On the other I find myself wanting to know more about him. I…I told him something last night that I think I may regret." My maker is telling me to stay where I am. And I am finding I like this off guard Sookie a lot more.

"What did you say to him? And why?" This is what human parents would call a teachable moment. He is doing this on purpose.

"I told him his beauty was only skin deep. I think I may have been rash in my judgments. It's just what he tried to get me to do, and then the frustration of having to clean up another of my brother's messes. My main question is this though. Does he rape? Let me be more specific. Does he use his glamour to take away consent?" so that is her main problem with me. Not what I tried to get her to do but the way I tried to get her to do it.

"Sookie, I do not understand what you mean. We have always glamoured our meals and bed mates." I can feel it coming again teachable moment.

"Godric I am not saying what was done to survive in the past was wrong. Hell I am not even saying glamouring is wrong. But nowadays you guys have a whole line of fang bangers just waiting to service your needs. I guess what I am really trying to ask is if I could have been glamoured would he have taken what wasn't his to take but mine to give?" Just then I feel my makers call and go to the door I hear Godric just as the door opens.

"Why don't you ask him yourself?"
