Dead to the day;
Chapter 11.
I'm so sorry I haven't been updating much! I've had exams going on all week, my college interview, I've been up at 6am every morning (I'm not used to seeing that side of 10am!) and a hell of a lot of stuff going on! I hope this update is good enough for you as a filler!
Sookie's POV.
I'd showered, dressed, applied a little make up and put on a silky blue shirt and tight white cropped jeans, added a silver necklace, fake of course, and slipped on some fancy black shoes and I was ready to leave. Being alone without Eric around felt strange, I'd managed to begin missing him already and I'd been awake for less than two hours, I couldn't sit around the house tonight, so I decided to go to Merlotte's.
Picking up my little blue purse filled with only my keys, which oddly held a new key I'd not ever seen before, a few dollars and a cell phone that Eric had brought for me and demanded I keep on and with me at all times, I locked the front behind me and headed to my car, except when I turned to see my old yellow beaten up car, I found a beautiful shiny blue Chevrolet Camaro sitting in place of my old beaten up A to B. Well being the girl of Eric Northman was beginning to be a lot better than I'd ever expected. Great sex, a rare connection, mindless passion, unconditional love, stunning clothes, shoes and accessories and now cars? well, I'm not complaining!
As I stated toward the car I wondered how on earth I was supposed to get into it without the key, then I remembered the new key I'd found on my key chain. I pulled the key chain out of my purse, digging through the loose notes and few make up supplies. It took me a while to figure out that all I had to do was point the key at the car and press a little button on the rubbery part of the key and it beeped, flashed it's lights and opened.
''...Oh yeah!''
I opened the door with a grin brighter than a little child huddled around the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. The interior was just delightful, leather everywhere, Eric liked his leather, and what Eric liked, I liked. A small piece of paper was laid on the passenger seat, my name in fancy old italics on the front. I scooped up the paper and unfolded it carefully, the letter was entirely in Swedish. ''Oh come on Eric! you just have to play games...''
Sookie,
Verksamheten Jag var tvungen att lämna dig så plötsligt för är om dig. Din existens kommer inte att vara välkomna i vår värld när de andra vampyrerna reda du är halv FAE. Du kommer att jagas och dödas, liksom jag för att skapa dig kunskap om din bakgrund. Jag kan inte skydda dig om jag inte läsa mer om situationen. Jag kommer snart tillbaka, min älskare.
Jag hoppas att ni inte kommer att ha dum nog att ha fått dig själv dödat, men du är en köttyxa en. Jag vet att ni inte kommer att göra en sådan sak.
Jag älskar dig, alltid.
Eric.
Sighing and putting the letter away into my purse, I turned the key and the car roared to life. It was hard to get used to after my little old thing, this car drove so smoothly and silently, so elegantly. As I drove I thought about Eric's letter, and decided I would have learnt at least a little Swedish by the time he got home. How, I don't know, but I would. I was soon turning into the parking lot of Merlotte's bar and grill, my previous work place that I missed every waking hour. I found myself hoping Jason was in tonight, I couldn't handle hiding any more, he was my brother after all, mad s he would be, he should know.
He was in there, with a little brown haired chick. She had a strange air to her, something... supernatural. Shifter. I did not want my brother getting involved with these things, Sam may be the sweetest and kindest guy around, but not all shifters were as nice as him. Deciding poking my noise into Jason's life was not my part to play, I strolled over to the bar and took a seat, sitting in a booth would be too awkward, at least here I could talk to Sam and be away from the glaring eyes of the patrons I'd known for 4 years now. I only sat there for a moment before Sam clocked on to my being there and he nodded his head and gestured for me to go through to his office. He whispered something to Tara before he disappeared around to corner. I hoped this time he wouldn't be silent and cry, I couldn't be hard and uncaring any more. It would break me.
We sat in opposite chairs in the office, Sam had had work done in there, a new paint job, a new desk and even a computer and a second office chair instead of someone having to stand awkwardly through out conversation.
''Wow Sam, looks good.'' I said, maybe a little too enthusiastically. My nervous smile appeared and Sam knew it all to well, he seemed to relax a little seeing that I was nervous too. I hated that even looking into his eyes I could see the throbbing vein in his throat, but before I could really even take that thought further, Sam had stood and lifted me up with him, wrapping his arms around me tight. I did the same, though not as tight since my strength, although he was stronger than the average human, was much more than his. I rubbed his back lightly and stroked his hair with my other hand, I felt so human to be in Sam's arms, to feel the warmth radiating off of him, and also the fear, that wasn't a comforting thing and I pulled back to look him in the eye.
''Don't you ever be scared of me, Sam.'' My eyes began lining with red. I really had to stop being so emotional and crying at any given chance, at least being vampire for some reason meant I didn't get awful tear swollen puffy eyes the next day!
''Sookie...'' But before Sam finished his sentence he's crashed his lips down on to mine. I stood frozen, not responding, but not pulling away. I wasn't about to betray Eric, but I just couldn't move. His emotions flooded into me at once and I was almost certain I felt a heart beat pound in my chest. I'd been getting this too often lately. Sam's hands slid down to my waist before he pushed me back against the desk, the odd bit of stationary falling to the ground.
I finally regained self control and pushed him away lightly with my hands on his shoulders.
''Sam...''
I wanted to write more but I have less than 7 hours sleep before I have to be up for my next exam... I'll eventually get around to a longer more detailed chapter, I promise. Keep the encouragement coming, it's nice to read before/after the hell that is my exams.
