RREEEEEEVVVVVVIIEEEEEEWWWWWW! I know I'm being dramatic but please do review as they help the story in a way.

Now, on with the story...in Shai's POV...

Chapter Four

Shai's POV

Mum has someone at the door, which is perfect timing for me, because I need to escape...I knew that I'd get in trouble but eh...I don't care especially since I have a lot to learn about Mum's old life. I only know the basics of her life. The vampire Pam, the ex-lover Bill, the best friend Sam, the uncle Jason and my father, Eric...the one man that I have been dying to meet ever since I first heard about him and the woman Pam is the only key to meet him. I jump out of the window and land on my feet. I am good at jumping from fair heights and landing...maybe it is a gift from the man I call daddy.

I start to run away from the house and eventually I get to the main road. I jog down the road, heading to the town Shreveport. I need to find the vampire Pam. She is the connection in finding my dad. I remember the day I found out the truth about my dad. Mum had told me that he's a vampire and sheriff of Area 5...what ever that is. I am more interested in the love story of Sookie and Eric, the telepathic waitress and the Viking vampire...plus I love hearing stories about me, the kick-ass teenager with an anger management problem, which was when I was younger. Mum said that it is strange raising a half vampire kid who loves to get angry and is really cocky

I can't help getting angry at things. Sometimes some situations are simply not my fault. I can't help the fact that I am half vampire plus a swearing Aussie...Mum hated it when I swore but I love it. Growing up in Australia did that to you. Mum is the sensible one whereas Sissy taught me the 'black' way of life. Sissy is an Aborigine and a tough one at that. She grew up in the harshest communities and then her life got even harsher as she fell in love.

I had a good life but I got getting tired of the moving around and such. When Mum gave into my pleas to move to Bon Temps, her home town, I was ecstatic, as I wanted to learn everything about Mum's life. Mum is everything to me and although I am a troublemaker, we love each other. But she has a past that she didn't want me to know about. She did use to tell me stories though. Stories about her life and she showed me pictures of her and her brother...my uncle Jason, the only other family member besides my dad and the vampire Pam, who is my aunt/sister or something because daddy dearest turned her.

But I have to find him. If he is what Mum said he is, a strong, Viking powerful vampire, he can help Mum...somebody has to.

Along the way, cars driving past and would honk and carry on but I don't care. I keep jogging, which is getting a bit difficult. I am wearing jeans, a Paramore t-shirt and ballet flats... maybe I should have worn my sand-shoes but ah well, I'll have to put up with the pain. But I am still jogging 5 minutes later and my feet are starting to get sore. I guess I am more human than I am vampire.

So, I start to walk instead of jogging. Jogging is hard when you haven't done much of it. Mum loves to jog but me, I took things nice and slowly. She loves the sun but I love the night. In a way we are the same but we are different. I love my mother, but honestly, she can be annoying and she worries about me a lot, but that's what you get from being on the run.

I am still walking when I see lights and more cars. It is the service station that I was at earlier in the night. It is still open and there are still cars in the lot, including a huge black truck. There is a man with blond hair who has his back to me. He is putting petrol into the car, but then he turns and I immediately recognise him.

"Jason?" I blurt out.

The man turns and looks at me. "Who are you?"

Oh shit. "Huh...nobody..Sorry, I thought I knew you from somewhere."

I walk past him. He starts to follow me. I get to the door of the station when I turn around.

"Listen, I'm sorry but can you not follow me? That's creepy." I tell him.

"You know my name...how?" he asks.

"I...um...I can't tell you." I say, hitting my forehead. I am so stupid, at times.

"Sookie?" he asks.

"Say what?"

He shakes his head. "Nothing."

"I'm saying in that house, with that woman..Sookie...I just moved into her house." I tell him.

He nods. "Good to know that someone finally moved in there...is it good?"

I nod. "Yeah, but that vampire is nuts for the woman Sookie. He told us we didn't belong there."

He chuckles. "Yeah, Bill is like that...Say, how old are you?"

"15...born 2010...you?" I reply.

"Old...2010...oh shit...you wouldn't happen to be related to Sookie by any chance?" he asks.

I sigh, nodding my head. "Only her name is not Sookie. I'm Shailee...I guess I am your niece."

"So she up and got pregnant and disappeared...who's your papa?" he asks.

I cringe. "You might not believe me."

"If you say Eric, I'm gonna crack up." he says. I look at him.

"Oh shit, my sister got knocked up by a vampire." He mutters. I smile, but it drops when I see Jason's face.

"Well, it's sure nice to meet you, Uncle Jason."

"Don't call me that."

He continues to stare at me for a moment and mentions me to get in his car.

I cringe again. "Mum told me never to get in the car with strangers." I know he's my uncle...but still.

"Shailee, is it? I am your uncle, so I know that you should do as I say. Get in." He orders

"But Mum is gonna be mad...I snuck out." I tell him.

He laughs. "Just get in."

I get into his huge car and he goes off to pay for the petrol. He comes back out and gets in. Then we drive off, heading towards my house.

"So why did you sneak out?" he asks.

"To find Pam." I reply.

"Pam? Why?" he says.

"Because I wanted to meet my father." I say.

He frowns. "Seriously?"

I nod. "Yep...I wanted to put a face to a name and stop my mum running."

He looks at me. "Why have you been running?"

I look down. "That's something you have to ask Mum."

He nods to himself. "Right...so...did you inherit her gift?"

I nod.

"Cool...well, it's nice to know I have a niece and it's good that my sister is back." He says.

We have been driving for awhile and I notice that we are getting closer to the house. I then see the road heading towards the house and Jason turns off. After a while, we see the house and the lights are still on. I cringe, as I didn't want to deal with my mother, but I have to. Oh boy, she is not going to be happy.

Jason parks the car and together we get out and walk to the front door. There is still another car in the driveway, so Mum's visitor is still here. Jason knocks on the door and Sissy answers.

She stands in shock for a minute before getting angry. "Shailee Anna Stackhouse Northman! What in the world? Where have you been? When did you sneak out? And who the hell is this?"

"Jason, this is Sissy, the over-protective black woman on earth. Sissy this is my uncle Jason." I introduce.

"Young lady, don't be rude...Hi there." Sissy greets as she gestures to us to come inside. We all walk to the lounge room, where Mum is sitting, obviously pissed off at me and the vampire Pam is sitting too and I could see that she is trying not to laugh. So now Pam knew what is going on. I sit down on the couch and Jason looks around.

Mum stands up. "Jason, wha-?" she hugs him.

"Shailee here was at the gas station. She kinda told me." he explains. Mum gives me a look. I shrug, which makes Pam chuckle. I like this vampire.

"You told him?"" mum asks.

"Not everything...he pretty much figured it out." I say.

"But you snuck out of the house...to go where?" she asks.

"To find Pam...But here she is." I tell her.

Why?

I want to meet him...my father...is that so much to ask?

Shailee! You know I will introduce you when the time is right!

What about Pam? She's here! She knows!

She figured it out, just like Jason. You are grounded...

"What?" I yell, getting out of my seat. Jason jumps at my outburst.

"Yes, grounded. You snuck out, you deliberately tried to find the one person that I am not ready to see and you brought another innocent person into the situation." She tells me.

"But Jason is family, so is Pam and so is Eric...My father!" I yell at her.

"Go to your room...Now." she orders.

I glared at her. "I hate you."

I ran up to my room and slam the door. One day, I will find Eric...I have to.

Sookie POV

I hear my troublesome daughter slam her door. I cringe and face Pam and Jason. They are sitting on the couch, waiting for my explanation.

"I tell you everything...later. Right now it's nearly daytime and Pam, there is the hidey hole upstairs in Shai's room. Just knock, tell her who you are and she'll let you in. Jase, the couch is brand new and soft. We'll talk more later on. Now, we'll sleep." I tell them.

"You will tell us though Sookie?" Pam asks.

I nod. I have to...I have to stop running and face the fact that wherever I go, someone is always there, after me but there are people willing to help me.

Please Review and I'll give you a hint of what's happening in the next chapter...it's to die for..hehehe

Until then, Cheers...
