A/N: Thank you to the following for reviewing, Vampire Hunter D's Girl, Becca, kmcracerx, DaniD32, xxericbitesxx. I was surprised for you all to like it so much and I have more on the way!
Disclaimer: I do not own Southern Vampire Mysteries or True Blood. Though, if I did…. Well… you know how that shit works out.
Rescued… Not.
The only sound I could hear in the room now was the treacherous sound of my own breathing. I felt so afraid and just by a phone call… slowly I let my shaky form take a perch and the end of the bed and shut my eyes letting my head fall back so my face was parallel with the ceiling and began to force myself to breath. With each breath I willed away the fear and began to clear my mind of it completely before shutting my eyes and shivering looking ahead.
My friends were in the hands of a vampire that was accusing them of having and using V. Vampire blood. Said vampire just called and just about threatened to kill them if I didn't bring in the blood. But in order for me to get the blood I had to find a way to open my friends' motel room door that I had a very good feeling was locked. I felt the air in my chest become hard to contain and exhaled, my eyes opening as I now felt quite a bit calmer than before.
We were in big trouble, never in my life would I imagine myself in something like this… getting to my feet with this thought I let out a soft grumble and grabbed my socks and purple, white, and black Tony Hawks. Slowly I managed to pull them on and grabbed the van keys to the side. We had taken two cars on this trip, since there were about seven of us. The van could fit us all easily but David and Aims, as I called her, wanted a car to themselves. None of that was important though except that I would have to check the car, which was at the bar, too…. Well if it was at the bar it was likely that they already found the V. So I was gonna leave it at that for a moment.
"Those stupid bastards…" I found myself mumbling as I grasped the motel key and shoved it in my back pocket then collected my i-pod and charger stuffing them both into my black shoulder bag. The strap going across my chest as I made a soft sound while turning off the lights and shutting the door behind me. My luggage was still in the van… moving down the landing I was on though I moved to the door next to me and tried to open it. When I had no success I winced and inhaled between clenched teeth, sighing I turned and looked around.
Busting down the door didn't seem to be an option for me but…. Turning to it I threw my body at, my shoulder hit and I heard the sound of something breaking, but the slate of wood didn't give any. Biting my lip I shut my eyes then stepped back, very aware that my right shoulder was going to be bruised in the morning. Looking at my feet I slowly tried to think of another method.
Leaning back I put one foot in front of me before lifting the other and giving it a strong boot, there was another crack, as I tried my shoulder again the right side of the door gave. The rusty old hinges broken and immediately I shoved my foot into it again making a large crack that I slipped through. Of all the things… gods where would they put it? They hadn't wasted any time in getting comfortable when they had checked into their room I could see. Clothes were askew and in odd places, their suit cases thrown open as they had changed before they headed for the bar, and a cooler in the corner on the small square table. Thinking it my best option I immediately went to it and blinked.
It was an old one I could see, and I hadn't noticed it when we were packing up the vehicles before we left. It had to have been in David and Aims because I was the one who packed the van. I reached forward and pressed the red button on the white handle and yanked it back. What stared back at me were bananas, an apple, napkins, a few sandwiches, and a bottle of aspirin.
Shifting some of the contents around I blinked as a small black case was hidden amongst the ice and food in the cooler. Pulling it out silently I opened it and stared at the six black caps that were shining before pulling one out and blinking at the very dark crimson that reflected my face in the vile. A feeling of fear crept through my mind before I shut my eyes and put the vile back in and shut it grasping the food in the chest and throwing it away before putting the viles within the ice and shutting the cooler all together. Leaning against it with both hands on it I let out a slow steady breath.
Easy Ky. I cooed, it's not yours, just find all the V, and get it to that Fangtasia place. Nodding lightly to myself as I calmed down I moved through out the room searching for any other coolers or items that might have more V in it. Finally I found some in the refrigerator with in the very back hidden behind the booze and placed them with in the cooler as well. After doing a thorough sweep, leaving the room in a much more disheveled state than it already had been, I felt safe enough and satisfied enough to leave the room.
The van would be harder, there was more of those 'not so easy to get to' spaces and a lot of crammed stuff. Really they could have put it anywhere if they weren't to picky about spacing. Pressing the button so it unlocked on the keys I let out a low grunt and watched the trunk open as I pressed the little symbol on the small black device as well. Moving over I began to go through our stuff and blinked finding another cooler. This one I remember being put in the van, as I pulled the sleeves of my black v-neck up I pulled it out some and then opened it. I began to dig through it immediately, wincing as my fingers were soon going numb from the freezing ice. When I got towards the center of the cooler though I found exactly what I was looking for.
How my friends came across enough dough to afford this amount of V I didn't want to know. Unless they drained the vamp themselves. Another chill went through my body and for the next few seconds I slowly pulled my mind back in shutting out this thought and biting my lip in order to get a grasp on myself. Then I felt it, the slight warm chuckle going down my chin and let out a soft breath drawing my lip into my mouth and suckled at the blood that my canine had just released. Swallowing down the coppery liquid and soon stopping the blood flow I let my lip go and began to move the V in this cooler into the next. Just in case, once it was empty I proceeded to unpack everything.
Four vials later and my patience fully at its end from repacking I took the entire cooler and set it in the passenger seat. Shutting my eyes I grasped the wheel of the van and let my head bow, controlling my breathing to go in and out and listening to my heart beat as it thudded almost painfully in my ears to the point where I felt tears in my eyes. Slipping the keys into the ignition I buckled my seatbelt and used the back of my hand to wipe away the droplets with a soft shuddering breath.
I could already see the headlines for this one back at home. Woman gives V back to vampire community! It held no cheerful aspect for me as I stared ahead blankly before putting the large vehicle into reverse and pulling out of the parking spot. Switching the automatic to Drive then, I began quietly down the road. Thankfully because we had come in from a certain direction, I remember distinctly seeing a building with a big red flashing sign, it was the only one I could think of and using landmarks, I slowly made my way to it.
As I pulled into the parking lot that was empty except for only a few cars, all sleek and no way affordable in any paycheck I could possibly make, I took notice of a man standing silently outside of the doors of the bar. A big bright sign beside him reading, 'Fangtasia.' A cold chill went through me and I visibly shivered before pulling into a spot. Slowly the man approached the minivan and I looked through the window at him. The vampire staring back with his short black hair and lidded gaze. He tapped on the window and I slowly lowered it, "Do you have it?"
I forgot myself for a moment and replied back in the midst of my own fear, "Have? Have what?" He stared for a few moments then pointed at the cooler on the seat, I looked back at it and stared for a moment quizzically before looking back at him. Logic completely took over and I inhaled slowly then exhaled murmuring softly, "Yes." Nodding he grabbed the door and opened it. Unbuckling I considered not getting out, taking a glance at this vampire though, his face set in a simple frown that seemed to hold a hint of mild annoyance, I found that I didn't have a choice in the matter. Stepping out I felt my knees give out and stared silently at the ground from where I had fallen and then slowly got up. Relearning how to walk and shutting the door, I walked/stumbled my way to the passenger side and grasped the heavy cooler.
It seemed heavier than it had before. I leaned against the vehicle in a need to regain myself and heard a light chuckle. The light but deep voice of the vampire questioning, "Are you that afraid?" I felt a breath against my neck and my eyes snapped open, body tensing and that cold/hot feeling coming back through me, my palms starting to sweat immediately, "Well… maybe you should be. After the sheriff has a word with you, you might just be in the same place as your friends…"
"Get the Hell away from me!" I found myself shouting fearfully and lashed out immediately. But his hand shot out and caught mine before I could swing at him. I shiver in my fear before shutting my eyes and letting out a cry as my hand is bent back in an angle making me fall back to my knees. Staring at the ground the silence in the parking lot over takes my ears and my heartbeat continued it's thudding in them. Overtaking sound and anything that might have been worth noticing around me.
"Chow!" A female voice with an amused tone cuts through my steady heartbeat and I feel as my mind begins to slowly come down off it's fear high. I blink for a few moments shaking and breathing heavily before I gulp down the fear and pain in my hand and start to force my breathing to steady. I felt their eyes as I did this then shut my own in reply as I needed nothing to ruin my concentration. "…Eric wants to see her, I don't care if you drain her but not before he sees her."
The hand let go of mine and I yanked it back towards me like a snake after it's strike. Slowly I opened my eyes and looked around before looking up at the man and the woman approaching. While this man is in a suit, she wears something that I could only think of the president's wife wearing or maybe even someone from Desperate Housewives. These two were the one's at the restaurant earlier today. I hadn't paid much attention to them as much as the blonde vampire… and it wasn't because I found him attraction either; he had felt the most dangerous.
With my new focus on the two though I notice the slight light that outlines their form, blinking for a few moments I study it with a frown. It was odd to say but since I was a child, I saw what I could only describe as a light aura that surrounded people, though instead of their energy, it was sort of like their moods. In other words, every person to me was a walking mood ring… her color was a barely noticeable red… she was amused and excited about something.
Well if you were a vampire with six people imprisoned you may just drain dry, wouldn't you be a little cheerful? My mind questioned lightly as slowly I got to my feet ignoring the pain that was in my wrist and hand now best I could as I clenched a hand on the cooler. The pain reminding me of my assailant, I turn to the male vampire who had taken to glaring at me, staring at his shoulder where there was a light brown with white mixed into it, he was restless and bored… and as I noticed a hint of black.
I immediately looked at the woman approaching. Her long brown hair pushed lightly over her shoulder as she pulled her red lips back to reveal a small smile, I took a note of yellow in her aura and wondered just what she was thinking about. She was feeling particularly creative… a hand came onto my shoulder lightly and almost coaxingly.
"Let's not keep him waiting shall we?" I shivered at her cold hand watching her eyes narrow as I stared at her with a wide gaze before she made eye contact with me. We stared for a moment before she murmured, "Shall we?"
Something had changed about her voice, it was pulling and alluring, screwing my forehead up in my concentration I ignored the feeling and murmured softly, "Can't I just give you the blood and you send my friends out?"
Her head falling back in a cackle made me flinch away from her as her hand found a tight grip on my shoulder. With her fangs out she grinned, "No." The voice was firm, contrasting her face, "Because we might just keep your friends, and if you're not careful, we might just keep you too."
I stilled in my thoughts and stared at her silently, eyes wide as my fear was coming back in heavy waves. A sense of helplessness falling through as well and a trembling coming to my form. Her fingers came up to my ponytail and slowly pulled it out so my hair came down and shaped around my face. Moving in front of me I felt her fingers go through my hair and slowly her arms wrap around my head pushing me towards her clothed cold dead chest, "My my, you do scare rather easily don't you?"
My head rested against her for a moment as I felt my hand going numb from how hard I held the cooler and my breathing became soft before I felt her face in my hair lightly. There was a soft inhale, and then a loud sigh that exited her, the heat of her breath against my scalp before she murmured into my ear lowering her face, "Just make sure you don't wet yourself when you speak with the Sheriff, after all… we don't need a mess on the floor. The stench would linger for days."
I flinch away from her again only for her to grab my shoulder and shove me in front of her and through the entrance of what I could only presume is the sheriff's place of work.
