Sookie's POV:
I don't know if you remember the party in high school that you didn't get invited to and your best friend decided that the two of you should crash it anyhow because some extremely cute guy was suppose to be there. Although, you and I both know he wouldn't have given either of you the timeof day. Okay, maybe he would have given it to your best friend, but definitely not to you.
Well, this was almost like this. Except for the fact that this wasn't a party. A few guys were there that were extremely hot, but none of them were anything that you wanted to involve yourself with. Trust me, I've hooked up with several of these men and had offers from a few of the others.
Anyhow, back to the point. I wouldn't have known about the fight that was taking out in the middle of nowhere if it wasn't for the fact that I had run an errand for Sam in New Orleans and on the way back, a body happened to fly into my windshield.
How exactly am I suppose to explain that to my insurance company? Especially considering the fact, the body disappeared a few minutes before I came back to my car.
Of course, I did what any reasonable human being would do when a body comes flying through the wind and hits your car. I screamed and slammed on a brake, temporally loosing control of the car, which landed the car into a cornfield. Great.
The evening got better when I saw the reason why the body went flying into my car. There in the middle of the field was a huge battle with all of my favorite vampires, werewolves, and just about every other supernatural creature that I've ever met.
Okay, so maybe that was an exaggeration on my part. However, there were quite a few of them there. Plus a bunch of people that I have never met before. Thankfully, I wasn't invited to this shindig and could leave.
The problem was, when I hit the cornfield and my car quit moving, the car died and wouldn't start back up. Great. Just great. This was okay. I could just wait it out.
That would have been all fine and dandy except for the fact that I wasn't the only one who noticed I was in the cornfield. No, that would have made life too simple. Something, I have no idea what it was, saw me and decided I needed to join the party. It opened my car door and dragged me out by use of grabbing my hair.
Someone jumped on its back, and it released me. When it went down, I saw that it was Eric. I have never been so excited to see Eric in my entire life. He flashed me a smile, and I shared my sentiments withhim.
Thankfully, I arrived towards the end of the battle. I managed to stay hidden until I was sure it was safe.Okay, safety wasn't what drew me out of my hiding spot. What drew me
out was the sound of someone singing softly and the occasionally gurgle.
I crept towards the sound, not knowing who it was. It might be foe instead of friend. I crept softly until I reached the person. She seemed to know I was coming towards her the entire time. Her head was turned towards me, and she stopped singing the moment I came into view.
"Hi, Sookie." Rebecca said before spitting out a mouthful of blood. As I looked down and around her, I noticed that she was covered in blood. When she coughed, I saw the problem. There was a huge hole in her chest. The ground was covered in her blood, but I couldn't figure out what had caused the hole.
Michael came through the corn with a blanket. When he bent down, I saw the look in his eyes. The desire to change was there but denied. He was like a changed animal whose prey was dancing around in front of its cage, but it couldn't get out of the cage to get to it.
"You stopped singing." He picked her up and made sure the blanket was tightly around her.
"Sookie came to keep me company. I didn't want to be rude and ignore her." She was shaking, and her teeth had started to rattle together. Chattering. Apparently, she noticed that a few had started to creep towards her. "Michael, promise me that you won't let them eat me."
"Never. If they did, they would just spit you out. Toughness tends to ruin a good meal."
Rebecca smiled just a tad bit before closing her eyes and continued to sing again, almost humming. It was so soft.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I accepted a ride from Pam back to the Queen's mansion. It wasn't like I could go anywhere with my car as it was. Eric was nice enough to call one of his loyal humans to come tow my car after he moved it out of the cornfield.
Michael took Rebecca there in his truck. It was alot closer than their house. It didn't surprise me that he took her there instead of a hospital. The supernatural seem to have a fear of human doctors. I wonder why.
I wish I couldwonder.Unfortunately, I knew why. IwishI don't, but I do.
I heard waterrunning and ran up the stairs to see if heneeded any help.I figured it was Michael and Rebecca. I hoped it was. Ireally didn't want to wake any on someone else. That would just brighten my day even more.
The bedroom and bathroom doors were both opened. I went in and saw Rebecca slaying in
a tub of water that was blood red. Her clothes were still on. The blanket was discarded on the floor.
"What do you want, Sookie?" Michael was trying to be as careful as possible as he took off her shirt.
"I was wondering if you needed any help."
"There is a bag in the back of my truck. If you wouldn't mind, go get it." His eyes never left her.
I ran out of the room, down the stairs, and out the door. I quickly found it and entered back into the house.
By the time I got back up there,the bathwater had beendrained, andRebecca was for themost partcleaned up. The moment the bag wasset down and opened, Michael dug it and pulledout a small first-aid kit.
He had managed to get the blood flow to stop andwrapped the gauze completely around her chest after covering it up withgauze squares.He only changed her into a huge shirt. Probably one of his. I think he was just trying to make her as comfortable as possible. I was pretty sure that she wasn't going to make it.
I had seen the damage first hand. It was pretty bad. There had been quite a bit of blood lost.If I was Michael, I would have asked for the help of one of the vampires. Maybe some of their blood could help her. I am sure with how pretty she was it would have been easy to find someone who was more than willing.
Michael tucked her into the bed that was in
the room before turning out all of the lights and leaving the room. I
followed down behind him. I saw Sophia-Ann standing at the bottom of
the stairs.
Their eyes locked, and he spoke first. His thoughts
were crystal clear. It was obvious that he was tired and worried
about Rebecca, wanting to strangle her for putting herself in such
danger. It wasn't her fight.
"Thank you for your hospitality. As soon as she is able, we will be out of your hair." Michael continued down the stairs towards the Queen.
Before Sophie-Ann could reply, the vampire who had choked Rebecca in her kitchen made a snide comment. Michael struggled a few minutes before he managed to shove him into a wall. "I don't know what you did to Rebecca in her past. I don't know why she doesn't like you or why you feel the constant need to put her down. I do know one thing though. Rebecca didn't have to share her information. She could have let you all die. It would have rid her of you. She knew this, and instead, she made the decision to help your sorry butt. You will give her the respect that she deserves. If you so much as look at her wrong in the future, I will not hesitate to kill you."
Michael took a step back and then left the room. I presume that he went outside to cool down. It was obvious that he cared a great deal for her. Almost brotherly.
I put my anger with Bill away long enough for him to give me a ride back to Bon Temps. I said a prayer for Rebecca as a crawled into bed. As I turned off the lights, Michael's words came back to me. "As soon as she is able..." There had been no doubt in his mind that she would recover. He was more worried about how long it would take. I made a mental reminder to call and check on her the next night.
