Chapter 12

Disclaimer: Well well well here we are yet again for another fun willed chapter of Casey and her quirks that you have grown to love or hate.

I got up at 8:30 the next morning and hopped in the shower. Showers are like a sanctuary to me. it's the only place where I can be totally alone and reflect on things, life, men, work but mostly I think about my parents. Its funny it had been years but I can still remember everything about them.

When I got out of the shower and glanced at my alarm clock I had 30 mins before Samantha arrived. Since I knew I would be trying on clothes I didn't wear pants or anything with buttons. I decided to go for a little sun dress that I had picked up at the local clothing store a few blocks away from the hotel.

It was by far the girliest thing I had. A yellow and white sun flower dress that tied in the back. I am in no ways a tomboy. I like looking like a girl but with my job and the way things are going right now I don't have to time nor money to splurge on perfume and pumps. Decided to wear my hair out with a headband. And slipped on a pair of yellow flip flops.

At exactly 9:25 I glanced in the mirror to see how the cut on my forehead was looking. Not that good but at least it wasn't infected I have enough scars I don't need anymore.

I was putting some lip gloss on when I suddenly hear a small rap at the door. I opened the door to see a small woman. She looked as if she were around 25 with blonde hair, green eyes and lets face it, this girl was gorgeous. She greeted me with a warm smile and extended her hand.

"Hello I'm Samantha." She said warmly. I was a little reluctant to touch her hand…not JUST because I didn't trust her but…well I don't like touching people I just met. I simply smiled right back and said "hello."

After a few seconds of of awkward silence I decided to break end the madness and speak. "So where are we going?" I asked.

"Lancaster." She said with the same warm smile on her face.

When I grabbed my purse and made sure my door was locked I was a little reluctant to get into her car but I decided to do so for the following reasons. A. She was human and I had a switchblade knife in my purse just in case something went down. What can I say, im gangster like that….alright not really but you get the idea. B. How else was I going to get the clothing I needed?

Before I go any further, remember when I mentioned she had a car? What I meant to say was that she had a 66' Mustang Convertible with a black paint job and red leather interior….I like cars. Sue me. I don't know, just from looking at her you would expect her to drive some sort of Barbiemobile.

Lancaster was a few miles away from Bon Temps. Upscale and High class all the way in that town. It was the kind of place where you had to do your makeup and have on your Sunday best just to get the newspaper.

"That is where my shop is." Samantha added.

We rose in silence for a while before Samantha broke it.

"Eric tells me you're a fairy."

"That's just because he cant come to grips with his own sexuality so he has to make fun of…oh, I get it not that kind of fairy." I said jokingly misunderstanding her to crack a joke at Eric.

Samantha let out a small genuine laugh.

"He also tells me that your father is a warlock."

OK Mr. Tell Everyone Casey's Business

"And what might you be?" I asked trying my best to change the subject.

"Human." She simply said.

"I know THAT but how is it that you came to know Eric." I asked. Hey if she was allowed to pry then so was I.

"Pan comes to my shop open and Eric had dropped by a couple of times with her." Samantha said. I don't know but Eric didn't seem like the type of person you would expect to go shopping with you.

"Oh…." I began. "SO why are you doing this for him?" I asked.

Samantha raised a brown and smiled. "I'm actually not He is the one that is going to be paying for everything." She said matter-of-factly.

"I guess you don't have anything against vampire." I said with a sigh.

"Not at all. I mean hey, we humans do a lot worse in my opinion. These vampires started off as humans, well most of them did. As for the whole blood sucking thing, none of them have tried to take a bite out of me or anyone that I know so I have no problem with them."

I simply nodded.

Not really use to the whole Vampire sympathizer but then again after going your whole life knowing that there is a group of things that want to drain the life out of you….literally, why the hell would you?

When we arrived at Samantha's shop I saw her sign and died a little inside. 'Sams Glam'…I then though to myself….it could be worse….FANGTASIA.

A small smile touched my face as we approached the store.

I had a feeling something was going to happen and the second that I was going to ask Samantha a question….that was when I was attacked.
