Chapter 6 :

" Do you want her to stay with Eric, Bill ? I certainly don't want her to stay with him, who knows what he could do to her ! " Sookie nearly screamed at Bill.

If she could read Bill's thoughts, she'd probably know that he hated me. It was just so evident that he wanted me gone and far away from her. I didn't need to read his mind to know that. Sookie should realize it.

" What if she sets fire to you house Sookie ? What if she kills you ? " Bill asked, very calmly.

What he had said could happen, I could lose control… I could do many things and I just wished I hadn't met them, all of them. It would have been much easier. Maybe I should have stayed in Dallas, or maybe I should have let myself gotten caught.

No, that was bloody stupid to think that. I didn't know them and it wasn't my duty to protect them. I needed to think about myself first. Of course, I felt like I owed Sookie something but that was completely different.

It was their choice to stay with me, if something bad happened, it would be their own fault.

" It's not going to happen, I trust her Bill and it's not like I'm going to change my mind. "

" Sookie… " Bill started but one look at the telepath made him shut his mouth.

She was casting him a death glare, she was so stubborn. How could someone be so stubborn ? She wasn't even thinking about her own safety, only about mine. I could take care if myself, I wasn't a child anymore. Of course, I was somehow glad to stay with her but it felt strange.

I didn't know her, she was a stranger.

" If you want to fight, do it outside. " Eric said, obviously annoyed by the situation. That was when I noticed his stare.

His eyes were set on me and that was making me uncomfortable. He had exactly what he wanted, so what did he want know ? It wasn't like he could have something else from me. Not entirely true, if I was being honest. Maybe he wanted my blood, maybe he wanted me to sleep with him… I would refuse those proposals of course.

" We're not going to fight but we're leaving now. " Sookie said and waved at me.

I felt like a child, she was treating me like one. I was twenty-one, I didn't need another mother. It was annoying but I couldn't tell her what I thought. She was helping and it wasn't fair to reproach her anything. She was too kind for her own good.

I followed Sookie but a hand grabbed my wrist and I felt a face close to my head, to my ear. " Don't ever think about trying to leave, I will find you Aly. " Eric whispered and I tensed.

I had thought about leaving but I wouldn't have done it because I knew it was pointless. Of course, he would find me, I knew it. He was a vampire after all and he was now very interested by me. He wasn't going to let me go and since he could blackmail me now, he could do whatever he wanted with me.

" Alyssa, my name is Alyssa not Aly. " I answered he let me go. I could only imagine him smirking at my reaction. That was exactly what he wanted… He liked to annoy people and I was starting to believe that I'll soon become one of his favorite toy.

" Sure, Aly. "

I shook my head and left his office and soon, we were all in Bill's car, on the way to her lovely house, where I was going to stay. The worst thing was that I didn't even know how long I was going to stay there. It was so frustrating…

I was trapped like an animal and Eric was my captor.

" You won't have to go back to Fangtasia, Alyssa. "Sookie said and turned to me while Bill was driving. " I just don't understand why you've been so stupid, why you've made a deal with Eric. After what happened to you, haven't you thought about what he could do to you ? "

I raised my eyebrows. " Sookie, you've brought me to Fangtasia and I unintentionally confessed my crime to him. He only used it against me I had no choice. I wished it was different, I wish I could leave this place forever but I can't. I'm stuck here. "

" You told him you killed a vampire ! What were you thinking ? " Bill exclaimed as his grip on the steering wheel tightened.

" I wasn't thinking, I was getting angry and I just blurted out what happened. " I said in a sigh.

I wished I wasn't so impulsive sometimes. It could really help me.

" What did Eric say about what you've done ? " Bill asked and it was strange. Why was he suddenly so interested. That vampire hated me, he couldn't be worried, there was something else. Something I wanted to discover.

" He said he wasn't going to say anything if I stayed here, at his disposal. "

I was a slave to him, that was so awful.

I was free, I liked to control my life and now, I didn't control anything anymore. Could it be worse ? Of course, it could. I should be glad to be alive and not at the mercy of the other vampire.

" He's such an hypocrite. " Bill muttered under his breath.

" Bill killed a vampire to protect me and Eric reported it. Bill had to make a child in order to pay his debt. " Sookie said when she noticed my dumbfounded look.

Bill was an hypocrite. He had killed a vampire and he was telling Sookie I was very dangerous, that I could kill her. He had killed a vampire too and he was a vampire, he could murder her too. I wasn't the only one who was dangerous.

" Oh. "

" You'll probably meet her since you're staying with me." Sookie said and I noticed something strange in her voice. She seemed sad and I would even say guilty. " Anyway, you won't have to go back to Fangtasia, Eric hasn't been invited in my house, so he can't do anything to you if you stay inside at night. "

I stared blankly at her. Was she really thinking it could work ? If I was sure about something concerning vampires, it was that they were determined and when they wanted something, they'd do anything to get it. Eric was probably not an exception. I was sure that he would find me during daylight by a glamoured human or something like that.

" Sookie, it's okay. I don't want to but I'll do what he wants. I have no choice and I don't want to have another angry vampire chasing me. I've had enough. It's better if I do what he wants." I paused and looked at the window. " Thank you for letting me stay with you, it's very kind. "

" Your welcome. I feel the need to help you and for now, it's the only I can do right ? "

I nodded absently. The next days, or even weeks were going to be something.

" Honestly Eric, another human ? Why are you so obsessed with them lately ? " Pam asked, her hands on her hips.

She was annoyed by her maker's attitude. Since Sookie Stackhouse came at Fangtasia, he was obsessed with her and now, there was another human. Pam couldn't understand why Eric was so interested by those annoying breathers.

" Have you seen what she did ? I want to use her. " Eric simply replied as he sat on the chair behind his desk. Alyssa Bennett was a new and exciting mystery to him, he wasn't going to let her leave and she had given him the way to keep her here. That was perfect.

" She's a fucking human. Use her, fuck her, I don't care but don't do anything else. Don't get too obsessed with her, don't turn her into another Sookie. " Pam exclaimed. She knew how this was going to end up.

She had seen Eric starting to get obsessed by Sookie, she didn't want it to happen again. Plus, Eric was probably getting into trouble. She had listened to Eric's conversation with the girl and the fact that she was chased by a vampire angered Pam. She was trouble and Pam hated trouble, especially human trouble.

" Pam. " Eric snapped and shot her a death glare. He knew exactly what he was doing and that girl was very different from Sookie. She was special, very special. What she was ? Eric had no clue but he would find out. He could go to Sophie-Ann's since she knew many things about supernatural creatures but he didn't want her to get involved with his little mystery. He needed to find another way.

There was also something that bothered Eric and it was her smell, her smell and all those vampires smell on her.

" She smelled like Godric, it was very subtle but I could still smell him. " Eric admitted.

" Do you think she knows, Godric ? She's from Dallas from what I heard and she's been saved by a vampire right ? Do you think it was Godric ? "

Eric let out a very long laugh. That was a very good joke. Of course, Godric wasn't the vampire who had saved her. He knew his maker very well and Godric wasn't like that. He wasn't saving humans, on the contrary, he liked to use them, drain them. He couldn't have saved her, she probably smelled like him because she had met him thanks to the vampire who had saved her. That was evident.

" No, he's not. " Eric answered quickly, if he was sure about one thing, it was the fact that Godric couldn't be that vampire.

" Her blood seems so delicious, she seems sweeter than Sookie. It was hard to keep my fangs retracted when she was around. " Pam admitted as much as she hated that. Sookie smelled great but that human was much better. Pam was pretty sure that her blood was a sheer delight, she could already imagine the taste of her blood on her tongue. Hopefully, she would taster her soon since Eric was going to make her come at Fangtasia.

" I know, there's something about her blood. It's like it's calling us. This is probably why she had been attacked and why someone wants her. I want to keep her to myself. "

Pam frowned. Here they were gain, Eric wanted her for himself, just like he wanted Sookie Stackhouse.

" What is it Pam ? " Eric asked when he felt his child's anger.

" You know why, I've explained you what I think about that human. "

Eric stood up, Pam wasn't understanding what he meant. He only wanted to use this new human, just like he wanted to use Sookie Stackhouse. Of course, he wouldn't mind having them begging for him just like every other woman but there was something exciting about Sookie and this new little toy. In fact, Sookie and Alyssa acted exactly the same way when he was around and this was amusing him. Eric was pretty sure that in the end, they would both end up wanting him for everything.

" Pam, I only want to use her power, just I like used Sookie's telepathy to discover what Longshadow was doing. " Eric said as he rested his hands on Pam's shoulders. " Do you really think that I could have any feelings for a human ? " Eric asked as he laughed.

He wasn't like Bill Compton or all those weak vampires. Humans were just meant to be used. They were food, they were useful but that was the only thing they were. Sookie Stackhouse and Alyssa Bennett would just be treated differently for a while because they were useful but once Eric got bored of them, he would get rid of them, just like he did with other humans.

" No, but I don't like the fact that you seem obsessed with them. " Pam explained and decided to leave Eric. He was stubborn and he would never admit that maybe he wanted more from Sookie Stackhouse for example. And what about this Alyssa ? It was going to become the same thing.

Sookie told me I could stay in a room next to hers. So here I was, laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

This room was beautiful, I had to admit it but I wasn't feeling comfortable. I was a stranger here, this would never be a home, this would just be a house, a stranger's house. Hopefully, I'd become friends with Sookie and things will get better but for now, I was just angry and sad.

Angry because I hated what was happening.

Sad because I wanted my family, I wanted to see my sister and my parents. I wanted my mother to hug me and tell me that everything was alright, that it would just end up great for me. I wanted my father to joke about my power and I wanted my sister to tell me I was such a lucky girl. I missed them, I missed them dearly. However, I knew that leaving them was the only solution. They could get hurt because of me, and I was afraid that they could be glamoured so leaving was the only way to protect them.

Strangely, I also had to admit that I was missing Godric. I had spent so many nights with him, and I wished he was here with me. I loved to speak with him, I loved to spend time with him because it was easy. He wasn't judging me for who and what I was. Then again, I had to leave for his safety even if he was two thousand years old, I was worried for him. This was stupid, wasn't it ?

" Alyssa, can I come in ? " I heard Sookie asked and I laughed.

" This is your house, you don't have to ask. " I answered and she came in, sitting next to me. I could feel her eyes on me.

" Are you okay ? You seem strange. " She asked and I was glad that she couldn't read my mind. " I'm sorry for what happened with Eric. "

I sighed and sat up next to her on the bed. I wished I could tell her it wasn't her fault but in a way it was her fault. Now, I couldn't change what happened, so I just needed to forget.

" I'm just tired I think. It's been a very long night and I miss my family. "

" Oh. I know how you feel. I miss my grandmother, she died recently. " She confessed and smiled sadly at me.

" I'm sorry for your loss. "

She shrugged. " It was meant to happen. I'll always miss her, she's not coming back. Then, I still have my brother and Bill, I'm not alone. "

There was so much love in her voice when she said Bill's name that it was sometimes repulsing. It felt like a fairytale. It was great for her but I found this too perfect. In fact, Bill seemed to try to be perfect, to refrain his vampire's instinct. Of course, he probably loved her and didn't want to hurt her but I didn't know. Maybe since he disliked me, I was feeling that way towards him. I was sure that I wasn't going to be friends with him.

" I have a sister, her name's Kate. She's twenty five and she's a nurse. I'm sure you would like her. She looks a lot like you, in fact."

That was something true. My sister looked like Sookie, the same blond hair and the same brown eyes. And she was acting like a second mother to me. She was amazing and loved to take care of other people, that was why she decided to become a nurse.

" I'd love to meet her. You'll probably meet Jason my brother, soon. If you want, we'll eat at Merlotte's tomorrow. It's Sam's and I work there, not right now since I've been.. " She paused and I looked at her suspiciously. She was hiding something from me but I didn't really care. We all had our secrets right ? " It doesn't matter... You'll meet my friends. I'm sure you'll like them. "

I nodded. At least, I wasn't going to stay at her house all the time. Maybe I could even find something to do. Maybe I could find a work or something like that. I couldn't stay at Sookie's without doing anything. She was taking me in and she didn't want anything in return. I wanted to give her something and maybe money was what I could give her.

" That will be great, I'm sure they'll like you too. " She smiled brightly this time. " I was wondering, how does it feel when the fire starts, does it hurt you ? "

" Well, I feel it in my whole body, it burns but it doesn't hurt you know. My fire doesn't hurt me and no fire hurts me in fact. I've already tried that. It's strange, it's like fire doesn't affect me. "

She seemed thoughtful as she looked at me. I was a freak, I knew it and I've always wondered why I couldn't get hurt because of fire. This was strange but I wasn't going to complain. I didn't really want to get burn every time.

" Since you're staying here, maybe we could try to learn what you are. We could do research, I don't know. I feel guilty for what happened with Eric and I want to help you understand what you are. It's the only thing I can do. "

That was something I certainly wasn't expecting. Then, it was a fantastic idea. I've tried to do research alone but I've never found anything. Maybe with Sookie's help, I could find something. I had to try and it wasn't like I had something else to do. I was stuck here for an undermined time.

" We could. Thank you for everything, Sookie. "

" You don't have to thank me. Well, I think I'm going to leave you, you look awfully tired. "

She stood up and left me, walking slowly towards the door. She looked at me one last time and smiled.

" Good night. "

When she closed the door, I sighed. Tomorrow was going to be a very long day. Meeting Sookie's friends could be nice but I didn't belong here. I wasn't planning on staying here.

If, no I'd rather say when I'll get the chance to leave, I will leave immediately. I truly hoped that this day would come quickly.

I hope you liked this chapter.
