By the time the mess was cleaned up and i had taken my shower, Eric and Godric were watching tv. It was funny to walk out and see them watching Twilight. "Is this what they want us to be?" Eric asked horrified. "Sparkly loving animal eaters? Apparently." I answered. Dressed in the replacement spagetti strap dark blue dress that went to my knees and the same heels except i bought them again since it would have taken to long to clean them, i couldn't help, i liked them.
Godric stood and came to my side, a amused smile in place. "Behave you two." Eric laughed and i flicked him off. "Behaving is overrated." Was what i said as i walked out the door. We met Sookie, Jason, and Bill downstairs. Turns out he had wanted to go and Sookie couldn't refuse him and he didn't like that Sookie was happy that Godric was coming.
"Well i guess we should get going." Jason said. "Sook who's driving the rental?" He asked as we all walked towards the vehicle. "Godric would you like to?" She asked him. "Thank you but not tonight, perhaps Mr. Compton or Mr. Stackhouse should." I watched the exchange. It was odd, Jason struck me as the driver of the group yet he had passed the keys to Bill wordlessly. Of course i had noticed i was being ignored as a potential driver but that didn't bother me.
As we all settled in to the car, Sookie and Bill in the front with me wedged between Godric and Jason, it became oldly silent and it gave me the impression that no one knew what to say now but apparently decided i should be the topic when all of the sudden Jason asked. "What do your parents do for a living?" I rolled my eyes at his oh so obvious ploy to get me to talk. Though i would but it would just be lies. For now anyway's.
"Calla's father works for Eric as his dayman." Godric said matter of fact but i knew what it was. A suggestion. "and mother stays at home but will help when she is called." As soon as i answered he shot off another question. "Sook said your name is Calla Rose but i've been raised in Bon Temps and work in Shreveport and know the people, i haven't came across your family." I smiled.
"Of course not. Do you think i would give out my real last name? Human's judge vampires so a family that associates and works for one is likely to be hunted down." He smiled sheepishly. "Didn't think of that... sorry." Didn't bother me, was actually amusing. To bad i had to lie. "Do you go to school?" He asked before quickly adding. "Or have any friends?"
"Did i break the law or something?" I asked laughing. "No, i'm homeschooled and no i don't have any friends." "Well that sucks, must be lonely." I smiled. "Not as lonely as you'd think. It's fun to mess with Eric and the pranks i've pulled with Pam on the drunk men at Fangtasia are priceless." He chuckled. "I'm surprised he lets you."
"Yeah well he alway's get payback. Now wether i turn it on him is a different story." Atleast this part i could be truthful. "Basically, i'm amusing and different." He laughed. "Don't i know it. Steve probally wants to kill you for everything you said to him." I saw Bill shake his head but a ghost of a smile appeared. "Oh well i don't care." He wouldn't get that far anyway's. He would probally just have me 'meet the sun' little did he know that i have already met it and me and the sun are friends.
"What the smile about?" Jason asked. "I'm just thinking about what Steve would do. So far i can think of a excape for everything he can come up with." I can and no doubt would be able to excape easily... well sort of that truely depended on what i was locked in. Though there was alway's a way to get passed silver. It just depended on what you had on hand.
"Your not going to go looking for him are you?" Sookie asked. "No." Maybe. "Good, that man is a syco and i can only imagine what he would do if he got his hands on you." Geez make it sould like rape why don't you. "Probally why that church to me atleast shall forever be known as stevie's syco center." I joked. It worked tension broke and the humans laughed. Bill gave me a look that said really that is all you can come up with? While Godric was looking out the window a hit of a smile on his lips.
Atleast i'm funny. "You should be a comedian not Eric's personal assassin." I looked a Jason, he looked so damn serious. I raised my eyebrow ever so slightly. "Assassin?" He nodded. "I'm pretty sure you could pull that off. The way you acted in the church was as if it was nothing to you." It was-minus the little silver detail. "Well i grew up learning how to fight, if someone got to close for comfort i could protect myself. I didn't when those people had a hold of me because it wasn't just me in there, if i got free they could have hurt Sookie."
"Spell it with me. A-s-s-a-s-s-i-n." He sang and everyone laughed. "Damn if there were more teenagers like you people would be afraid of having children." "We're here. Stop messing with Calla, Jase." "Just don't get it in to your head that your invincible Calla." I smiled and slid out of the car behind Godric. "Now why did you have to go and ruin the fun?" I asked him.
When we got inside and were seated in one of those circular booths the waitress came up. A petite blond with green eyes, her name tag stating her name was Anna. It was instant. She started hinting things at Godric for some reason that both amused me and annoyed me. She caught me watching and smiled like she was telling me that he was hers, boy did that tempt me to prove her wrong. But no. I behaved myself and listened to the other start ordering. It was when it was my turn that i just ordered a water, when Sookie and Jason protested i told them i wasn't really feeling well.
They dropped it and sent the waitress on her way. I could smell no fear coming from her when she found out that Bill and Godric are vampires. Instead she was curious and excited. I wasn't in the mood to deal with her. Funny because i was just in a good mood before we came in here. "We can go if you want to Calla, it's no problem." Sookie offered. "Might as well enjoy a couple more hours in Dallas right?" I smiled and though she remained hesitant she nodded.
"Here are your drinks. Two cokes, two true bloods, and a water." She said leaning over the table and flashing everyone at the table as she placed the drinks in front of us. I shook my head but muttered thanks anyway's. Though even to my own ears it sounded sarcastic. She was unfazed probally use to it and assumed i was jealous.
Sookie sent me a disaproving look and i countered with a well what the hell do you expect me to do look. I noticed how she looked back between Godric, Anna, and me and frowned when she smiled and i could feel the happiness coming off her in waves. I wasn't going to ask what conclusion she came up with.
I briefly considered playing the clutz and dropping my water on her when she ran her fingertips down his arm. Wait... why am i considering that? I didn't have time to think it over. He caught her hand and i heard her heart start to go faster, it was obvious that she wasn't expecting what he did next. Which was gently push her away making it very clear that he wasn't interested. Apparently Jason was her next target. At that i sighed.
"What?" She asked. "You." I snapped. "If they liked you they would make the move. You have already flashed everyone at this table, be turned down by one and instantly went after another. What would you think if another woman was doing that in front of you?" I questioned. "Oh..." Yea. Oh.
"Sorry." She left. "Calla you could have been nicer." Bill scolded. "That was being nice." I said instantly and for a vampire it was. Most would have done a lot worse then hurt her feelings and he knows it. "It's okay Bill, i understand what she's going threw." Sookie said placing her hand on his shoulder and gave him a kiss on the was when they both starting kissing that Jason and I said. "Get a room." At the same time. We looked at each other and laughed. Godric just watched us all, amused. I could swear he just came to do just that. Watch.
Anna returned with Jason's and Sookie's steaks, fries, and veggies. At this moment i really didn't want to breathe, but i had to because of Bill. It was easy to feign it and could easily fool humans but vampires weren't so easy. We have heightened senses therefore i had to breath, plain and simple or Billy would expect me to faint. But the food just smelled revolting, well greased food anyway's. Sweets and fruits smelled okay.
I picked up the glass of water and took a sip. Thankfully it was tasteless but unfortunately i had no way of knowing if this was going to harm me. Humans were made up of a good percentage of water so i was pretty sure i would be fine but that water had alway's been in the blood, never from a glass.
Eventually we all finished, Bill, Godric, and I going slow so they wouldn't feel presured in to eating faster. I've seen humans do that and get sick before. We joked and talked about non important things. Getting to know each other better. Well i learned about them... they learned barely anything that was fact from me. It made me feel guilty for lying to them.
By the time we had returned to the hotel. Eric was annoyed, ranting that we only had 30 minutes left to get there and that it was going to be impossible to get the humans to move as fast as he needed them to. So i asked the vampires to bring the things to the car and i looked at Sookie and Jason. "Looks like we're going to be late, but not if we hurry. We could play a little game to make it more fun." I smiled.
"What game?" They asked. "Well why don't we race to the car?" They smiled apparently that had been a favorite when they were children. So off we went, naturally i ran behind them a few feet. But by the time they had caught up with the others. My supposed to be dead heart was going faster. I really need to figure out why my heart even still beats. The guys had been amused well except for Eric, he snapped at us to get in.
"Wait. Did you return the dress and shoes to Isabel?" He nodded and everyone climbed in. "You are sitting on Godric." Eric said getting in to the front seat. Sookie tried to hide her smile. "Are you okay with this?" I asked him. "It does not bother me. If you would rather not i can run to the airport." I shook my head. "It's fine." Instead of giving me time to change my mind and i was beginning to, Godric pulled me in to the car. So there i was sitting in his lap with my head against his shoulder. Sookie and Jason shooting me amused looks.
Oh joy...
Though i didn't mind it at all really, what bothered me was the looks we were getting from the others. Eric looked to pleased with this for it to be a good thing and Bill looked annoyed... is there even a time when he isn't? It seems like that man is always on guard.
Finally we got to the airport after ten minutes of stares and smirks. I got out of the car, followed by Godric, Sookie, and Jason. Eric and Bill already picking up bags. As soon as i got close Eric gave me one of Sookie's and started walking away. I guess he thought it should bother me, nope i was coming to help anyway's. I briefly considered throwing a fit and just making his life a little harder for the fun of it.
"Are you coming Calla?" Eric called over his shoulder with a smirk. The other's just a little bit in front of him since he had slowed to taunt me. "Nah, i figured i should just stay in Dallas." He walked away. I caught up with them once we got inside. "You changed your mind." He asked. "No Eric, your allowed to leave me behind." He was and he could but no one else knew that beside Him, Godric, and myself.
"So who do you belong to? Don't say Eric. Don't say Eric." Sookie asked randomly, i could tell that this was something that she had been dying to ask and apparently couldn't in any longer as we got in to the plane and were settled in our seats. "As far as i know neither have layed a claim on me." Not like it would matter anyway. Eric just to be a ass goes. "Calla is-" "Oh go fuck yourself Northman!" I snapped, i wasn't playing the claiming game. He needed to know that now.
He chuckled. "It's not as fun as having a partner." I rolled my eyes. "Ok then go fuck one of your fangbangers." He smirked. "I need a new one." Of course he would try and continue this conversation. Anything to get me to repeat that word. Dumbass.
"So Godric have you ever seen Fangtasia?" I asked.
So what do you guys think of this story?
