"playing with me

Will get you stung like a bee

You keep playing with me, baby

Until I'm deep in between

I know your never going to agree

Love life roller coaster

You never let the sun shine

You better take it from me

And every time you let the sunshine

You make me weak in the knees

I know your never going to agree

Love life roller coaster

Your momma's never going to believe

Went to bed with a monster

Leave a light on cry tomorrow

And let your sunshine"

From a Whisper to a Scream

Chapter Eight

Sunshine

"Should we wake her?" Asked a familiar silky feminine voice. Where was I? the last thing I remembered was the black haze. Which opening my mind I could feel the presence of two of these black hazes, what were they? It was similar to when I opened my mind to Sam, but different. There were also two vampires in the room.

"No need. She is awake." him?

"That is right, your blood connection. That sure does come in handy. Open your eyes darlin'. of course you know we know your awake." The only thing I could do was follow her orders. Opening my eyes I sat up and attempted to cross my legs Indian style, but the chain around my ankle stopped me. Following where it lead, I saw I was chained up to a pipe that ran along the wooden wall. "You see we took precaution."

"You smell different." He said this as he looked at me then his eyes widened and hardened in anger. "You fed from Eric."

"Oh, he must really like you." Lorena said this with a small chuckle. "Oh, Bill, we must be going the sun will be rising soon."

"Yes, we must." He never took his hardened gaze from mine. How dare he. Getting angry with me. He wasn't there for me, and now he gets angry. Humph.

"Why are am I here?" Asking him still not wavering from his anger.

"I have to show Lorena how much she means to me."

"By doing what?" I was afraid to ask but I had to.

"We will get to that tomorrow night. At dusk."

"How sweet is he, bringing you as my present? He has told me how delicious you are." She was smiling, then she leaned down and kissed him. at that moment I did not know whether to scream in anger or cry. Looking away from them the other two....people, came into view.

"What are you?. Wait are you shape shifters?" They both stood straighter as the older of the two spoke.

"We are Weres, shape shifters are beneath us." I noticed that they both were wearing dirty blue jeans and black leather vests. Were these weres, bikers? God what are they going to do to me? I began for the first time to get frightened, but I pulled myself back quickly. He would sense my fear, I would not give him that satisfaction. I could tell the older one had more power than the other one, it came off him in waves. Turning my attention back to the other two they were standing.

"Now Sookie we have to go now and rest. We will see you at dusk." Then they left hand in hand, while she spoke to the other two. "You two may have your fun, but do not go too far. I plan to have a wonderful time, playing with my dinner tonight. Understood?" they both nodded. He never looked at me on his way out of the big barn, at least I assumed that was what I was in.

"Now, Patrick can I play with her?" This Patrick shook his head no, I sighed in relief.

"My turn first. Although, from what Bill said she has had a vamps blood, so I may need your help." Patrick came walking toward me, I crouched myself as far back against the rough wall behind me. The look I his eyes told me what he planned to do. He knelt down on his knees in front of me. I was still wearing the Blue dress Eric had wanted me to wear, thinking of him, I wanted him here. I had no one to save me from these monsters. I had to save my self. He took the back of his hand and started to touch my face. Quickly I smacked his hand away. "My that vamp blood gave you some speed my dear." He was smiling, and as he leaned closer, I could smell his foul breath. My heart began pounding so fast I thought it was going to jump out. Realizing he intended to kiss me, I turned my face away from his. He grabbed my mouth with his filthy hand to force me to face him, leaning into his hand I bit down, hard. "You fucking bitch!" Screaming this he used his other hand to punch me in my jaw, knocking my head against the wall. "Jerry, get some rope and help me." He was grabbing at my wrist, I pushed slapped and kicked fiercely. Jerry, was by my side trying to use the rope to tie my wrists. I used my nails to claw at his face. In all this I was actually getting some blows in, which surprised me. One of them hit me in the face again, making my eyes g to my side. Where I saw that in my struggles I had broke the chain from the pipe it had been wrapped around. Diverting my eyes, I didn't want them to realize that I was no longer chained to the wall. Infused with renews energy and Eric's blood I fought them harder. I kicked jerry in between his legs, then I shoved Patrick hard into the wall. I knew they would not be down for long so I jumped up and ran with everything I had. Then there was a tug on my chained ankle, and I went crashing down on the wooden chair that he was sitting in only minutes before. I felt something pierce through my side, rolling onto my back I looked down to see the leg of the chair sticking out of me. Leaning my head back, I breathed in deeply, now in pain, again.

"Fuck, Patrick how are we gonna fix this? That looks pretty bad." I began to feel cold, and I became sick with the feel of my own warm blood pooling at my side. Faintly I heard them arguing about the way they were going to handle this. As I began to lose consciousness, I realized how tired I was of being in these situations.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dammit I was getting tired of Patrick, ever since he beat my father in the running for pack master he thinks he owns everyone. Well not me. He better be in the warehouse, we have things to discuss. He needed to know that he could not boss Alcide Herveaux around. Who am I kidding? He's the pack master, which makes me his little puppet. He still had not decided what he was going to do with my dad's company. As I walked into the warehouse I began to look around for him.

"Patrick!" He needed to be here, there was a full moon tonight, and there was only about an hour till the sun went down. Sighing to myself, he was not there. Turning to leave I caught the faint scent of vampires and something else. Curious I turned I followed the smell. That was one of the many things that he did not like about Patrick, he took orders from vamps. walking Into the back room where they used to keep livestock, this was where they slaughtered them, I saw her. She was chained, well it appeared she had been anyway, there was rope around her wrists and ankles. As he looked her over she looked extremely pale, which by the blood that was everywhere on the floor and her, he knew why. It looked like someone had tried to stop her bleeding, there was dirty towels pressed against her side. Why was she here? Looking around the room he saw Jerry slouched in the corner asleep. Walking slowly toward the frail blonde, I kept my eyes on Jerry. Leaning down I picked her up, wrapping my arms around her back and under her knees I slowly walked out of the room and out the back door to my truck. Before I could change my mind, I climbed in the driver's seat after laying her down in the passenger seat, looking in my rearview mirror I drove off slowly. If they caught me, well Patrick didn't like me very much and he had been looking for a reason to get rid of me. Once I hit the main road, I pressed down on the gas pedal and headed to the nearest hospital, which was almost an hour away. God I hope she'll be alright. As I went over a bump she moaned and opened her eyes. When she saw me they widened.

"It's alright I'm taking you to the hospital, we'll be there soon." Not saying anything her eyes closed. Wonder if Debbie will kill me when she find out I took a stranger, no a girl, to the hospital. I could not tell her. Who am I kidding? She'll find out some how. Still thinking of Debbie, we were about five minutes from the hospital, when just after the sun went down I felt my truck get shoved to the side of the road. "What the hell?" Then there was a white, very white arm crashing through my window and yanking me out of the truck. I was being held by his hand around my throat and off the ground. "Hey, I didn't do anything to you." The blonde vamp glared at me, then I realized he must know the girl.

"You hurt Sookie I can smell her blood." he squeezed down on my neck tighter, and he smiled.

"I was taking her to the hospital." I could barely speak, his grip was so tight.

"Eric put the man down, Sookie needs you." Reluctantly the vamp listened.

"Watch him." The blonde pleaded to the other one. This one looked like he could barely pass for 16. Something told me, he was a very old vampire. Eric, as the other one called him came back with Sookie. It was an unusual name, wonder what it was short for? He was holding her just like I had earlier only she had her arms around his neck. "Leave now, but if she tells me you had anything to do with this." He indicated her wound. " I will find you." Believing him, I nodded.

"Good luck." He lifted his eyebrow in question. "Her wound, its pretty bad, it could be fatal."

"She will be fine." The was he said it, I knew he planned on giving her his blood. I had heard vamp blood could improve peoples health. Looking out my busted window as I climbed back in, I watch the blonde vampire fly up into the air with the girl. I hoped she would be alright, and I wondered why she was in the warehouse in the first place.
