A/N: Ok so it's 1am and I lying in bed when this idea pops into my head. I lay there debating if I should get up and write it down or wait until tomorrow. As I lay there the story is just coming and coming and I decide 'hey why not' and wah-lah people a story with another crossover with one of my favorite shows. Hope you enjoy!
"This is crazy, you know that don't you?" Katie said glancing over at her friend who was currently fixing up her makeup in the mirror. "I mean I should be at home, and you should be in Washington DC doing your fancy new forensics job"
"I told you that I was going to take you out for your birthday" Abby said smiling over at her friend. "And the director was more than willing to give me a little time off"
"That's because she's afraid you'd get upset and she couldn't let the smartest person in the world go" Katie replied. "What about that other guy, the one you said is tough on the outside but a big ole teddy bear on the inside"
"Gibbs, and you'd like him" Abby replied. "He gave me this whole spiel about being safe"
"And this is where you decided to bring me on my birthday?" Katie asked getting out of the car. Abby got out as well and walked over to her. "Fangtasia"
"When my brother told me about it, I just knew I had to check it out" Abby said.
"It's a vampire bar Abby" Katie replied. "I still don't see how I never knew about this, how the hell is the south keeping all of these vampires a secret from the rest of the world"
"Maybe they have people in very high places" Abby offered. "We should get in line"
"Abby I'm not so sure about this" Katie said. "This is crazy"
"C'mon, if anything gets hinky you can do your thing and turn them all into frogs" Abby said smiling. "Vampire frogs, that would be really cool"
"Abby I'm still trying not to kill myself with my powers" Katie said.
"Look this is going to be fun, c'mon" Abby said grabbing Katie's hand and pulling her to the back of the line. Katie began to get more and more nervous with every step. She didn't know much about vampires, only what she read in books and even those don't match up very well. They'd reached the door faster than Katie anticipated. They stood in front of a tall blond woman, wearing a very tight pink leather dress with matching pink pumps.
"ID's" the woman said flatly. Katie and Abby reached and their purses and hand the woman their ID's. As Katie handed her the woman caught a whiff of something and her eyes shot to Katie. She looked over the woman who was wearing a white tank top under a black leather jacket, paired with some black skin tight jeans and black boots that came up her legs. She glanced at her friend who looked like the other fangbangers in the joint with the black makeup. She looked over the woman's black mini dress she paired with some black plat formed boots, while pigtail dangled over her shoulders. She turned her gaze back to Katie. "What is your name?"
"You're the one holding my ID" Katie replied and the woman smiled revealing her fangs. Katie felt Abby gasp and link their arms. Katie stood looking back at the woman.
"You're pretty bold for a human" the woman replied looking down at the ID's. "You may not want to be so bold going in there"
"I'll take that under consideration" Katie replied holding her hand out. The woman handed them back their ID.
"Have fun ladies" she said moving aside to let them inside. She caught a whiff of Katie once more as the woman passed by her walking into the club. She knew this was something the big boss man would want to know.
Katie and Abby walked in the club a bit wide eyed at the scene in front of them. All the people dancing and grinding on each other as the music blared through the speakers.
"This is so cool" Abby said pulling on Katie's arm in excitement. "C'mon let's get a drink" Abby pulled Katie to the crowded bar and was excited when two seats empty as they arrived.
"What can I get for you two lovely ladies?" the native American bartender asked. Katie' let Abby order the drinks while she scanned the bar. The scene was still a bit shocking to say the least. Her eyes came to the man seated on what looked to be a throne of some sort watching over the dance floor. She noticed the woman from the door talking to him. She felt a chill when suddenly both of their eyes looked up to her.
"Hey here" Abby shook Katie's shoulder and Katie turned to see a pink drink sitting in front of her. She looked up to see Abby already taking a sip. "Aren't you gonna drink?"
"I think tonight, one of us should have a clear head" Katie said.
"C'mon it's your birthday" Abby smiled. "You have to let lose a little, I swear this Alex guy has turned you into a total fuddy"
"First of all Alex has not turned me into a fuddy" Katie replied. "And second I'm not about to get wasted in a club full of vampires, who would like nothing more than to drain us dry" She looked over to see the bartender looking at them. "No offense"
"None taken" the man said before walking over to take some more orders. Another song began playing on the speakers and Abby squealed.
"Oh, my God this is Helraiser" Abby said and Katie looked totally oblivious. "C'mon Suicide Commando?" Katie just shook her head. "How are we even friends?" the Goth asked.
"I don't know, because I will never understand your fascination with this freaky music" Katie replied laughing.
"Hey" they both turned to see a guy with dark hair and just as many tattoo's as Abby standing in front of him. He smiled at Abby. "You wanna dance"
"Sure" Abby said about to dance with the guy, but Katie grabbed her arm. "What?"
"What do you mean what?" Katie asked. "We stick together, remember?"
"C'mon it's just a dance" Abby replied. "If you're not gonna have fun then I have to find some elsewhere"
"Abby I will be watching you" Katie said.
"Yes mother" Abby replied. "I swear you remind me of Gibbs" Abby turned and took the guys hand as they went out onto the dance floor. Katie watched as her friend seem to blend in with the others on the floor. Katie's eyes were glued to her. The song seemed to be a very long one and Katie wasn't enjoying the watching of Abby dancing up on some random guy. Her gaze went back up to the thrown that was now empty.
"I don't believe I have seen you before" Katie jumped a bit, startled at the voice that appeared next to her. She looked over to see the man she was looking for standing right beside her. He moved in front of her and she noticed how close he was getting.
"Yeah, we I'm a tourist" Katie said looking up at the man. Up close she could see just how good looking her was, his long blond hair that touched his shoulder and her wore a tight black t-shirt with matching jeans. "They don't believe in personal space down here do they" Katie reached up and placed her palm on his chest giving him a push. He looked down at her hand and at her touch, his fangs slipped out. He looked back up at her a smile now on his lips.
"Who are you?" he asked as Katie brought her hands back to her side. He was still too close.
"I'm sure your bouncer has told you everything she's knows about me, which is all you're getting guy" Katie replied.
"You're really not from around here are you?" he asked. "Most humans wouldn't dare agitate me as you are"
"Well sir you will come to find that I'm not like most humans" Katie replied.
"I think I'm starting to figure that out" he replied before closing his eyes and inhaling deeply. Pam was right, the woman's scent was odd. Katie watched his confused as he opened his eyes. "What are you?"
"Wrong pronoun" Katie replied. "I am not a what, I am a who"
"No, what I said is what I meant" he said moving closer to her, causing her back to hit the front of the bar. He placed his hands on the bar on either side of her, trapping her. "What. Are. You?" Katie looked up at him as her mind began to feel fuzzy. She blinked a couple of times before looked back up to the vampire standing over her.
"Did you…?" she tilted her head a bit remembering what she read in one of her books about some vampires having the ability to control humans with their mind. A funky form of hypnotism. Katie smiled up at him.
"How is this possible?" he asked looked down at her confused now. He'd never met any human he couldn't glamour and now one was standing before his eyes. Something was definitely up.
"Oh, vampires, werewolves and witches roam the earth" Katie said with a smile. "Anything is possible. She crouched down and under his arm and looked over into the crowd for Abby. It was definitely time to go. She began to worry when she couldn't spot her friend. "Damnit!" she tried scanning the crowd but there were too many people and they were all moving. Katie turned and climbed on the barstool and up on the bar.
"What are you doing?" the man asked her, watching as she stood on his bar.
"I'm looking for my friend" Katie said scanning the bar. "Everybody just needs to stop!" suddenly everything in the room froze, human and vampire alike. She was a bit shocked at what she'd done. She'd frozen people before, but not this many at the same time. She didn't know how long it was going to last so she quickly scanned the crowd, her worries grew when she found the Abby was no longer in the club. She looked down and noticed the man was the first to begin breaking through, and soon he was unfrozen, not believing what her was seeing.
"What the hell is this?" he asked looking at the non-moving crowd. He then looked up to Katie. "You did this?"
"I don't have time to answer questions right now" Katie said climbing from the bar. "Abby is missing, when I was supposed to be watching her" She jumped from the stool. "Thanks for distracting me" she began to walk away when he caught her arm. She really wasn't in the mood as she turned back to face him.
"What are you?" he asked and she really was beginning to get sick of that question.
"Well if I don't find my friend you're gonna find out" Katie said before snatching her arm from his grasp. He watched her walk into the frozen crowd and when suddenly they began dancing again, oblivious to what just happened. Katie disappeared in the crowd, but he could still smell the familiar scent and he followed it. Katie pushed out the door and looked up to see the blond bouncer. "You see the girl I came with come out of this door?"
"I don't get paid to keep track of humans" Pam replied. "I wonder, did you follow the advice I gave you?" Katie's fists clenched, she really wanted to hit the blond amazon woman, but she had more pressing matters to attend to.
"Nope" Katie replied. "But I'm not too much in the habit of taking advice from dead people. I'm not crazy" She turned and walked toward the car hoping Abby was there, but she wasn't. "Ok, Abby where are you" Katie closed her eyes, she didn't know what to do. All these damn powers and she felt helpless. She felt a hand touch her shoulder and out of reflexes quickly turned grabbing the person's wrists and twisting it, it didn't work out too well when the person quickly grabbed her arm, twisting it behind her and pinning it there. She whipped her head back hitting her attacker in the face, she used that moment to untwist her arm and turn and kick the attacker in the stomach. She raised her fist ready to fight, but released them when she saw who it was.
"Is it weird that I liked that?" the bland haired man asked walking over to Katie.
"Look I don't have time…" Katie stopped and closed her eye when she got a flash of Abby in her mind.
"Don't" Abby said weakly leaning against the brick wall of the back of the club. She looked as the man's fangs clicked out of his mouth.
Katie opened her eyes and looked at the man standing in front of her, watching her as if trying to figure something out.
"Hey" Katie said. "You move a hell of a lot faster than me, get to the back of your club before I get there, or you're gonna have a dead vamp to clean up" he stared at her for a moment before speeding away. Katie ran behind him, not as quick but she was moving fast. She arrived just in time to see the blonde vampire tossing the other vampire from her vision away from Abby. Katie quickly ran over to her friend and examined her, he hadn't drank from her but there were two scratches now on the Goth's neck. "You ok Bee?" Abby nodded a yes.
"I think you were right" Abby said. "This was a bad idea, we should've just ate at diner, down in Ben Temp"
"Let's get out of here" Katie wrapped an arm around Abby and help the woman walk. Katie helped Abby into the passenger seat before closing her door. She turned to see the blond vampire standing in front of her still too close for her liking. "I guess I owe one"
"I guess you do" he replied. "I shall call upon you when it is I need your services"
"That just sounds wrong" Katie replied. "Fine, I'll help you and then we'll be even, but don't call me if it has to do with hiding bodies, or stealing a crystal skull" he looked down at her confused. "Nevermind"
"So are you ever going to tell me your name, or are you going to make this difficult?" he asked.
"You seem like the type of guy who's used to getting what he wants, when he wants" Katie replied. "A little hard work, might do you some good"
"Oh, for pete's sake her name is Katie" Abby said from the car. Katie turned and glared at her as the man smiled. Katie turned back to him and shook her head.
"Well so much for that" Katie replied.
"Katie" he said with a smug grin that irritated Katie. "I am Eric Northman, sheriff of Louisiana Area 5"
"Hm, you look like an Eric" Katie replied. "Sherriff of Louisiana Area five not so much"
"What are you Katie?" Eric asked and Katie moved in closer to the vampire if that was even possible. She stood on the tips of her tows bringing her lips close to his ears.
"That's for me to know and you to find out" she said with a smile before quickly kissing the vampire on the cheek and walking away toward the driver side of the car.
"I will find out" Eric called after her and Katie looked over to him and winked.
"Sure you will" she replied before hoping into the driver's seat and pulling off.
Katie felt Abby's eyes on her and looked over to her friend. Abby had a small smile on her face that surprised Katie, especially after the events that just happened moments earlier.
"What?" Katie asked.
"Were you flirting with that vampire?" Abby asked.
"No" Katie replied. "I was simply having a conversation with a fellow, supernatural being"
"Oh really?" Abby asked. "Do you kiss all fellow supernatural beings?"
"Only the ones that look as good as that one did" Katie replied before both women began laughing.
"I'm so telling Alex" Abby said.
"You better not" Katie replied. "Or I'm telling that Gibbs guy what happened tonight, and you'll never leave DC"
"I hate you" Abby said.
"I wuv you too Bee" Katie replied smiling turning back to the road ahead of her. This was definitely one birthday she would never forget.
A/N: OH YES I DID. I f-ing love True blood and this was just fun to write. Did you see what I did there with having Katie owe Eric a favor. That's right, we will see our Mr. Northman in our Third Times A Charm series at some point. I wonder how that's gonna play out? How will the hopeless flirt fair with Dean in the picture.
