Chapter 13 – Playing the Hero, or is it Heroine?

I do not own True Blood or any characters except Bri, Andrew and Caroline

I'm really sorry I wrote that Sookie hadn't seen Bri in six years when I meant 4. Feel free to mentally Kick me!

Thanks for your reviews!

Bri and Sookie were sitting on the Sofa when there was a knock on the door.

"It's Eric" 4 years and that voice still gave her Goosebumps. Bri's thoughts went into overdrive 'ERIC…HERE…ME…NOT…SEE…SHIT!' She did the only thing she was good at and bolted straight upstairs before Sookie had even turned round.

"So flaming difficult" Sookie muttered under her breath as she walked towards the door and opening it.

There stood a very cool and calm looking Eric leaning on the door frame.

"Where is Compton? I need to discuss something with him"

"Bill, Is not here, he won't be back for another hour" Eric was about to come out with a cocky remark when he smelt something from inside the house. It smelt almost familiar. He racked his brain trying to figure out what the scent was but nothing. Finally he gave up and turned his attention back to Sookie.

"Who do you have here?" His moved his head to look behind Sookie but there was no one there.

"Just a friend, Is there anything else I can do for you Eric?" Sookie tapped her foot impatiently

"I want you and Compton at my club tonight, as soon as possible. I will make sure Pam lets you in. You can bring your little friend if you so wish."

"Why me and Br…Bill?" Sookie corrected herself easily.

"That is what I need to discuss with you both. Be there" He simply said before he sped off into the distance. After waiting a few seconds to check he was gone Sookie called upstairs to her friend

"It's safe now! Come downstairs you chicken!" She laughed when she heard Bri call back

"You're sure?"

"Positive, now hurry up down here our plans for tonight seem to have changed.

"You can't be serious!" Bri's face dropped when Sookie told her their plans for tonight. There was no way she was going to a vampire bar especially not Eric's vampire bar.

"It's not my decision Bri. Eric has ordered for all three of us to meet him there, and whether we like it or not what he says goes.

"But why do I have to go!" Bri wailed like a child. She was very close to stomping her feet. Maybe spending all her time with young children was starting to affect her. Sookie just rolled her eyes.

"Because he asked for Bill, myself and my friend, which is you. Besides you know as well as I do that you are going to have to face him eventually. You can't keep walking on egg shells especially when he lives only a few miles away. Plus, you'll be in a public place with both me and Bill looking out for you. Nothing will happen."

"What is it with you and long speeches lately Sook?" Sookie hit her playfully

"Don't change the subject missy. You are coming and you are wearing one of my dresses because it seems all you have backed is jeans. Now get your but in the shower. We need to be ready in an hour. Bri just stood there with her arms crossed and he face frowned, she obviously had no say in this. "Mush!" Sookie gave her a light push towards the stairs.

"Well Bri you look very nice tonight"

"Yea well blame your girlfriend" Bill chuckled putting his arm around Sookie's waist

"Are you ready to go Sweetheart?" Sookie smiled at her man, "Yes" then looked towards Bri, "Bri, you ready?"

"If I say no will it matter?" Sookie smiled sweetly at her reluctant friend.

"Nope, now come on we will be with you the whole time". All Bri could do was huff and make her way to the car

"Wow" was all Bri could say. Right now she was looking at the weirdest club she had ever seen. There was a long cue outside full of vampires and fang bangers. Girls wearing nothing but heels, skirts and tops that could pass as Bra's they were that small and tight. The men with their short shorts and tank tops.

'Classy' She thought to herself. Finally she saw the large sign outside that read 'Fangtasia'

'This place just gets better" She muttered. Sookie stood beside her putting her hand in Bri's and they began walking side by side towards the entrance with Bill in front. "You can do this Honey" Sookie whispered to Bri reassuring her.

Eventually they made their way up to the entrance. Bri could only guess that this woman with the long raven hair and tight pvc outfit was pam.

"Well, hello Sookie and Bill it is a pleasure to see you both here. Eric will be pleased." Pam's eyes diverted from Sookie and Bill to Bri. Bri suddenly felt very self conscious as Pam's eyes trailed from her legs to her chest finally resting on her face.

"Well aren't you pretty" Pam purred

"Umm thanks?" Bri was a little bit creeped out by this compliment

"Shame you're a brunette" Bri didn't know what to make of that just nodded and smiled at the vampire. Pam thought this girl would be perfect for her master. What she didn't know was this brunette was the reason for his pickiness of woman nowadays. "Eric is on his throne. I recommend you two ladies get yourselves a drink."

Sookie led Bri to the bar and ordered their drinks. Bri took this opportunity to look around the club. There didn't seem to be anything unusual just a lot of grinding and dry humping, looked like a normal club to her.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" A young girl purred at Eric. Her body as pressed close to his. Desperate for attention, clearly interested. Eric however not so much. He almost thanked Bill Compton for interrupting them.

"You wanted to talk Eric"

"Where is your pet?" Bill felt his face harden and fists clench. Eric just loved to wind him up.

"Sookie is at the bar with her friend" Bill knew not to mention Bri's name, let Eric find out for himself.

"Who is this friend?" He seemed to ask himself. The familiar scent washed over him as he scanned the bar for Sookie. His eyes rested a pair of legs next to Sookie's, the owner of the legs had her back to him yet everything about her seemed familiar. He could tell she was attractive just by the way she sat and the shape of her body. Her body was fit into a knee length black dress. Pity she was a brunette he thought bitterly as his eyes rested on her neck where her curled hair rested just below that. 'Turn around' He chanted in his head. Finally she did. For the first time in 1000 years Eric felt himself gasp and take in a breath. 'It can't be her!' His mind shouted waiting for the moment she would see him. Boy did she.

"Oh God" Bri whispered. Her mind reminding her to breathe . 4 years and he still made her legs shake and her heart beat uncontrollable. He hadn't changed one bit 'Vampire Idiot' her mind shouted at her. His blond hair slicked back. Dressed in a smart grey suit with the top buttons undone. She felt herself blush just looking at him. It was then that her heart started to ache and the tears were ready to spill.

"I can't do this. I'm gonna go get some air" Sookie Saw her friends face and knew what she meant. She simply nodded, watching as Bri walked quickly outside.

"Shit" was all Bri could say as she leant on a wall outside the club. Her heart beat was still not in normal rhythm and her legs didn't feel very stable. She was about to make her way back and head for the toilets to check the damage the tears had done to her face when she heard shouting near her. She ran to the noise and saw a vampire with his hands all over a young girl pulling at her clothes whilst she cried and struggled.

"Hay!" Bri shouted at the vampire feeling a big case of 'déjà vu' Except this vampire wasn't blond and gorgeous, he was ugly and fat, and he was about to lung for her throat. The young girl ran of into the bar whilst Bri was left with a very unhappy vampire.

"Hello pretty lady" His breath stank and Bri tried not to breathe. His lips grazed her neck breathing her in. Next thing she knew his teth sank into her neck, and Bri did the only thing she could think of and screamed. She kicked and screamed but he didn't stop. She felt her legs go weak and her body began to flop as she felt herself falling to the floor. Every part of her body blacked out except her hearing, either that or she was dreaming as she felt to arms wrap aroud her body, hering the words of a familiar face.

"Always playing the Hero" Then became she became completely unconscious
