I don't own True Blood
"AHHH, NAKED SAM!" I screamed.
Can you blame me? There's a naked Sam on Bill's bed while Sookie and me were sleeping on it.
I never thought I would ever have the need to think that.
Ever.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Sookie shouted.
I thought Sam was going to give us a very detailed explanation as to why was he laying naked on a vampire's bed while two women were sleeping on it. But all he said was. "Nothing. Sleeping"
"Did you touch us?" Sookie asked him. I looked at him wide eyed.
"Hell no" I sighed in relieved. After all that has happened lately, I did not need Sam touching me like that on top of it. "Listen. Bill asked me to look after you while he was away"
"Did he ask you to do it buck-naked?" Sookie asked once again.
"Please say yes or something" I said, because if Bill didn't asked him to be naked then I won't be able to look at Sam the same way.
Although I wouldn't be able to look at Bill the same way if he had asked Sam to look after Sookie naked either.
"No, no"
"I want you out of here. Now" Sookie was getting pissed.
"With your clothes on If you could" I really wanted Sam to put some damned clothes on.
"Listen, listen, Sookie. I need to tell you something about me, something I've never told another person."
"Oh my god, it's you. You're the murdered" Sookie stated.
"You're the murderer?"
WHAT?
"No, no…" Sam started to say but Sookie interrupted him.
"You killed my grandmother"
"You killed Dawn? WHY? She wasn't that bad of a waitress!"
Sam tries to get closer to us but we backed away. When he came even closer, Sookie hit him, grabbed my hand and dragged me to the bathroom.
Once we were there, we close the door and got in the shower.
"Did you lock the door?" I asked her.
"I thought you were gonna do it"
"Damn it Sookie!"
"Well, I 'm sorry. Next time there's a killer after us, I'll remember to lock the god damned bathroom door"
I had a comeback, a really good one. But Dean the dog came through the bathroom door.
Maybe Dean killed Sam with his amazing dog powers.
Then Dean did the most un-dog thing I could possibly think of.
He transformed himself into Sam.
Son of a bitch.
.
So Sam's a shape-shifter.
He shifts shapes.
That's his thing.
Shape-shifting.
What?
"Can you turn into anything, like cats, birds?" Sookie asked him while we were sitting on Bill's porch.
"Cats, sure. Yeah, I can do bird, but flying's hard. Dog's the easiest for me. People like dogs. Most other animals leave you alone."
"I used to scratch your belly in the parking lot at the bar" Sookie told him.
I looked at her.
Really?
"That wasn't me, that was a real dog. I need a live animal in order to shift. You know, as a model. Kinda like an imprint."
"Cool" I said. I really didn't know what to say to all of this.
"Can you turn into another person?"
"Humans are to complex. Despite what you may see at the bar"
"Why didn't you stay an animal while we were sleeping?" I asked him.
"It wears off if I fall asleep"
"Alright"
"Do you control it?"I asked again.
"Yeah, yeah. Except on full moon, then I can't stop the shift."
"Like a werewolf" Sookie said.
Sam did not like that. "We're not werewolves. Hey, werewolves are dangerous, nasty creatures. Do not call me a werewolf."
"Alright, you're not a werewolf. Chill" I told him.
Such racism between species.
"Werewolves exist too?"Sookie asked. Then she turn to looked at me. "You're not surprised?"
"I already know vampires and a shape-shifter, for all I know the Teletubbies exist too."
"What else is there?" Sookie asked Sam.
"More than you could imagine"
"Like real life Teletubbies?"
"Would you quit it with the Teletubbies?" Sookie hissed at me. Then she turned to Sam. "Could a werewolf have killed gran?"
"I supposed it's possible"
That isn't making me feel better.
"Oh, my God. Bill's been dragged off by vampires and now I find out you're something I never even knew existed." Sookie cries. Sam tries to comfort her but she won't let him.
"I thought you would understand"
"Why, because I'm dating a vampire?"
Well, yeah.
"You know what it's like to have a secret. You both do"
"I don't hide who I am" Sookie said and went inside the house.
"What do you mean 'You both do'?"
"With what you are"
"What do you think I am?"I asked him. Because I always thought I was human, kinda.
"I'm not quite sure. But I'm getting close" So I'm not human?
I'm officially freaked out.
.
The rest of the night was awkward.
If sleeping with Sookie was awkward at first, now it reached at whole new grade on the Richter scale of awkwardness.
It didn't get any better the next day.
We were setting up Merlotte's backyard for Arlene and Rene's party and you could feel the tension between Sookie and Sam. The kind that makes you want to get away from the tension epicenter as soon as possible.
Things lighten up a bit when Arlene came and started bossing around.
You can't really blame her. I mean, it is her fifth engagement party. She wants it to be perfect so it doesn't end like its fourth predecessors.
Still, she better stop pointing at me with that finger if she wants to keep it.
Along with that ring of hers.
This party better be good.
.
"What do you mean you think she's the one?" I asked Jason. He came to talk to me after he and Amy arrived at the party. I just never thought it was to tell me this.
"Well, I really feel something when I'm with her and… " Yeah, lust.
"Where did you meet her?"
He muttered something.
"I can't hear you"
"Fangtasia, Alright?" Ok, that was... unexpected.
"What were you doing in that place?"
"There was this band I like playing there…"
"Bullshit. The only bands playing there are the Marilyn Manson wannabes. Now tell me the truth"
"How do you know what kind of bands play there?" He asked suspicious.
"Sookie" I said as an explanation. When I looked back at him expecting an answer he started to shift. "Jason No Middle Name Stackhouse, what were you doing in Fangtasia?"
God, I sound like a mom.
He muttered again.
"What?"
"V" He said looking at the floor.
"V?" I asked again. He nodded. "When did you become addicted to V? How did you even get V?" Those were the only things I could think off for Jason being interested in V.
Good thing were not close enough for anyone to hear us.
"Lafayette"
Damn it.
"Does this Amy chick know about the V"
He wouldn't look at me.
"Are you kidding me?" So she's junkie too?
More reasons to hate her.
Some people looked at us.
"Could you keep your voice down?" He told me.
"Jason. You don't love her, it's the V" It makes sense now. I heard V trips really do something to people.
"No, its not. I know what I feel about her. Just because we have that problem with Eddie…" He started to say but quickly shut up.
"Who's Eddie?"
Silence.
"Jason, who is Eddie?" I asked earnestly.
Jason is like a child in some aspects. If you want him to do as you say, you have to talk to him like you talk to a child.
"A vampire"
"Does he know that you two are into V?" Maybe he's threatening or something.
Jason looked nervous at first, but after a moment his look change to a determined one and said. "We're draining him in my basement." He said in a hurry. "God, it feels so good to finally say it to someone"
"You are WHAT?" I gaped at him. "Jason, that's wrong!"
"I know, alright? I'm trying to find a way to convince Amy to liberate him"
"Convince Amy? You're Jason fucking Stackhouse; you don't need to convince Amy to do anything. It's your house, your rules. And if you don't set Eddie free, I'll tell Sookie" I threatened.
"You're right, I'm Jason Stackhouse. My house, my rules"
"Now go and tell Amy off"
When he left, Sookie came not looking happy.
"Everything ok?"
"Tara, she's drunk" She said looking at the table where Arlene and Amy were sitting talking with Tara, who was wearing a very short, very pink dress.
"What is she wearing?" I asked.
"Her prom dress"
"That's a prom dress?" Is it even a dress? Maybe a blouse...
"C'mon, help me get some ice" She started walking towards the bar.
"Why, are you hurt? Did you and Tara have a cat fight?"
"No, we're out of ice"
"Oh, ok" We went to the freezer.
When Sookie finished filling the bucket with ice, the lights turn off.
"The ice is going to melt" I commented.
"No, someone must have turned off the ceiling lights only. See how there's still light in the freezer?"
"Then someone may be trying to scare us"
"It wouldn't be the first time"
Then Sookie has this far away look. Her eyes widen, but before I could ask her what it is, someone ambushes us.
We screamed.
Sookie throws the ice on him and we took our chance and ran.
We went to a room and hide, but he found us once again. We started running towards the exit as far as possible.
The moment we reached it, Sam was there.
"Sookie, Adrian, it's me"
"He's in there. He almost…" She told him.
"What?"
"The killer, he's inside" I continued.
