Chapter 2

Sookie came closer to my face then

'Well... what would that be?' She asked

'A telepath. Y'know what? I'm one too' I beamed at her and then I jumped up out of my seat to hug her. Although it kinda is an invasion of personal space, I had the need to.

'Do you think we could be friends, Miss Stackhouse...?' I asked pulling away to look in her eyes 'It really would be the best thing that-' I yawned pretty hard and I had to put a hand over my mouth 'sorry I-' I began but Sookie stopped me.

'You feel tired now?' She asked me looking just as shocked, if not more, as Eric.

'Well... yeah. I'm a morning person'

'But vampires sleep during the day. I'm tired now. You shouldn't be' she sounded a little bit scared and she had her hands on my shoulders

'Well... why can't we come out during the day?' I had asked a stupid question to someone who wasn't even one of us

'Haven't you ever seen a vampire film...?' She asked me with a really confused expression

'Nope, my parents liked to keep me sweet. I also never had a rebellious age' I smiled with pride

'Well if you go out into sunlight you'll burn up. Literally. You'll burn to ashes in sunlight' Sookie looked worried for me and then turned her attention to Eric who was staring at me looking mildly surprised and mildly amused.

'Eric! Why didn't you tell her about the whole "sun burns you" thing?!' Sookie asked him angrily

'I... assumed she knew. I suppose you can't help it, when most people have seen these... vampire films' He looked at me and smiled reassuringly as if to tell me it was okay I hadn't seen one. He suddenly changed the subject and I could tell that before he spoke because his facial expression changed from calm friendliness to furrowed worry.

'Have you ever felt tired at this time before?' Eric asked me. I laughed. I had stood in the sun since I'd been turned and I hadn't burnt at all. Eric stared at me.

'I've stood in the sunlight recently' I said 'It didn't hurt me at all, and it especially didn't burn me'

Eric looked at Sookie and vice versa

'Sookie, would you be willing to take Venus home with you and confirm this?' Sookie hesitated and looked at me with an anxious look pasted on her face.

Why did she think I would be dangerous in anyway? I had only recently been made so I would still be able to remember how horrible death was and all the human emotions. How pointless. Maybe she was scared because I was only recently made (this really sounded like I was some kind of toy).

I sighed and turned my head from her, before getting up and walking over to the bar. Chow was serving and seeing as we had talked a little since I was created, we were good buddies.

'Hey, Chow.' I smiled at him. He was cleaning a glass and he looked up at me

'Hey Venus. What's up?' He smiled

'Oh, not much' I looked over my shoulder to Eric and Sookie 'Hey, if Eric asks for me, could you tell him I've gone out-back?' I asked

'Sure. Where are you really headed?' He smiled slyly. I lightly punched his shoulder and he pretended to stagger back slightly.

'I'm really just going out back, if I disappear... it's your fault' I grinned at him mischievously

'I doubt that' He held his head up to look proud and I turned and waved. There really were some weird people in this bar and unfortunately 'out-back' was right on the other side of the room. As I walked passed different humans, I watched as they stared in amazement at me – some of them smelled the air around me as I passed and some went to touch me. When that happened I just used my vamp speed to dart safely by them (unfortunately it happened a lot).

I finally got out back and breathed in some beautiful night air. I went to go down the steps to run into the woods for a little while and maybe go to that nice little bar in the forest – "Merlotte's" I think – when someone put their something over my mouth. It had some kind of alcohol based drug on it and flat out – everything went black.
