Encounter

I didn't speak all the way back to the Hotel Camilla cause I mean really, who would? It was just that long of a drive though because of it. Sookie talking to Bill, looking at me now and then as I stared out the window. Really the only time I felt easy enough to talk was when we went by a bar. And that was only to look at Eric who glanced at it and then ignored my blatant unsaid request to stop there.

Ass hole.

I stared up at the ceiling wondering where Hanska had gotten off to, he was now such a big part of my life I just felt a little off kilter with out him......

Slowly I rose up as Eric was coming out of the shower and pulled my socked feet together. His eyes flicked to me and he tensed on the spot, studying me before taking the towel he was using for his hair off and wrapping it around his hips, moving for his suitcase that had been delivered as he looked away from me.

So I decided to break the silence, "So you're seriously going to let her just walk right into the Fellowship of the Sun's hands, Knowing there's a traitor in that nest." He glared at me now quietly. "…" I laid back on the bed and sighed as the glare just seemed render me for a moment speechless and silent.

Rubbing my face I tried to think of a different way of doing this, but blunt and forward seemed to be the way to get to Eric. So I tried a much more provocative approach. "You are a tactless Dumb Ass." He once again glared at me after just looking away, I could feel the intensity of it this time and then sat up, "Seriously Eric, what are you going to do if she gets seriously hurt? I know I'm not the brightest bulb at times but how the hell do you expect to court the lady if your idea of a date and sending her into a building filled to the brim of crazies?"

"You sound rather concerned, for someone who was threatening my investment just a few hours ago." I stared at him now for a few moments before slowly blinking.

"You sound so Unconcerned for the girl you're trying to get to leave her vampire for you. Honestly I'm not seein' where she would have a reason to. Unless this is her idea of an epic love poem or something."

Leaning back I decided to recite what was going through my head.

"And then it was Eric who decided in the dead of night.

That Sookie would be the one to go to the light.

Happily she shed a romantic tear,

Filled with joy at the prospect of doing anything for her Eric Dear."

"You're rather slick in the tongue tonight."

"You're rather thick headed tonight." I shot back with a shrug. Slowly he touched a button on a remote in hand and shudders slipped in front of the windows blocking out any of the sunlight that was to come. I watched him slip onto the bed slowly and lay for a few moments before I glanced at the coffin. Distracting myself best I could from his state of nude.

"What was the point of bringing that awfully heavy thing if you're just going to sleep in the bed?" I was staring down at him now, with a brow raised. He rolled over with his back to me and slowly shrugged. I let my eyes trail down his back and fought back the succubus in me that was just screaming how nice of an ass he had.

"Just in case I got tired of your babbling on and on and on and decided to throw you in it to assure you didn't 'disappear' while I was gone." There was a beeping sound and the door to the side opened. I looked to see Hanska enter with a sweaty face; he was also bleeding at the neck. I shot up from my spot and watched him now before moving forward as he was moving across the room to the bathroom.

"What happened?" Eric moved across the room to my mentor after me.

Examining the wound in the mirror Hanska was quiet for a few moments before stating, "Nothing that can't be fixed with a good night's rest."

I quietly stared at the wound and then reached forward, my fingers going over it. Hanska glanced at me as I licked the blood on my fingers, then a flash of something went through my mind. He sighed, "Do at least attempt to control your more basic urges Kylie." I flinched and then looked at him before looking at the ground and frowning.

"A woman did this to you?" I finally questioned in disbelief, he shut his eyes but nodded, "How'd she manage? It wasn't a vampire."

Eric said nothing, just listening to us now, "No, it wasn't." Hanska stated simply, "It was actually more of a love bite…" I found myself confused at this statement.

"Love. Bite?" He nodded at this and then stared for a few moments at me in thought. I then looked around and back at him. He rolled his eyes, and then slowly shut them before resting a hand on my head. "I'll be fine."

I felt like a child once again and then rubbed my face lightly and nodded with a sigh. Slowly I shut my eyes and turned exiting the bathroom before pausing and looking over my shoulder at him. "So who was she?" He flinched and looked at me with a frown.

The succubus in me was hissing in it's want to know, it hated a fourth keeping things from it. He shook his head and then looked down at me before slowly coming towards me. He then rubbed my head in a ruffle. "Don't worry about it." He turned and continued to tend to the bite.

I found myself soon all to annoyed as I walked and sat on the bed. Eric stared at me now before I was soon joined by him. I twitched and kept from looking down at his form, my 'modesty' coming back. I stubbornly looked away from him. The silence held for a few more moments before I got to my feet and grabbed a key card, heading for the door.

"Where are you going?" Eric glanced at me now and I blinked staring at him before furrowing my brows and pursing my lips in my slight annoyance at his question but decided to answer it for lack of trouble.

"For a walk." He studied me for a few moments before slowly nodding. I smiled and moved to leave before he continued, "If you run Kylie...."

I froze up and slowly looked off to the side. It wasn't like he needed to finish that sentence. I looked back at him and shut my eyes before saying in a sigh. "I'm not gonna run." I watched him raise a brow, "I'm just gonna get my thoughts in order… that's all." With that I exited, the soon in my pocket as my purse remained across my chest. Quickl I found the elevator and shut my eyes once opening it.

Stepping inside, I shoved my hands in my hoodie pockets before turning and opening my eyes, turning my gaze to the button panel. I pressed my fingers to the small buttons telling the elevator to go down to the first floor before leaning back and rocking on my feet now.

Whistling 'ohway ohway ohwaaay' to myself, I sighed lightly. Then paused for a few moments in my thoughts, but nothing coherent magically appeared in front of me. Groaning as the door opened after reaching the first floor I moved out of it for the exit. The fact was I was bugged by something, as well as I didn't know what it was for one, was a little frustrating to me.

I looked around me to see the lobby empty as I moved. Once at the exit, one of the men at the doors stopped me. I blinked at him before he questioned if he could see my driver's license. Digging it out I grudgingly handed it to him before he handed it back to me after checking it out with the hotel records. I was allowed outside while he told me, "Sorry ma'am, but it's for the safety of the other guests." On the way out. My hand came up as the first lights of the sun began to hit my eyes once I cleared the doors. I winced for a few moments before letting my form slump.

It only lasted a few moments but it felt like hours, just a searing pain that tortured the hell out of my eyes. I dug around in my purse in search of something to cure it, some where there was…. Ah ha! I grabbed hold of the sunglasses and pulled them out before putting them on, relief flooding into me immediately before I pulled my hood up over my head and began to trek down the road. The Dallas heat bearing down on me, but the cold that the lack of sleep brought into me caused my form to give an involuntary shiver. I shut my eyes and yawned before continuing ahead frowning.

I could fall asleep walking right now… I opened my eyes and frantically shook my head back and forth before relaxing slowly. I needed coffee, maybe a doughnut, looking up around me I walked to the first restaurant I saw.

Denny's. Good old, wonderful Denny's. I entered, thanking the early opening hours before looking to see the waitress immediately looked up. The quiet held for a few moments before she smiled that cheap 'I'm getting paid to grin at you' smile. I pulled my hood down slowly and nodded in greeting. "Hi, just one?" Another nod, she led me to a booth and handed me a menu. "Can I get you anything to drink?"

"Coffee." She blinked at me, asking me the basics, cream, sugar, soy. (What the fuck was Soy anyways) then nodded turning away from me after having my order and leaving me to my thoughts for now. In her absence I turned my thoughts to my problem at the current time. I was sleepy but I didn't want to go to sleep. I was afraid I'd hunt again… I wasn't sure I even would but I didn't want to risk it either. The coffee was set down in front of me, breaking me from my thoughts and I took notice of the waitress again, she was working fast. I slowly blinked and then watched her leave as I hid my face behind the menu.

What looked good…. What looked good? I looked at everything for a few moments and shivered as I found that…

I wasn't… well I sort of was but at the same time… wasn't hungry. I slowly frowned and bit my lip. Taking a gulp of my coffee I shivered at the spark it caused that almost gave me an instant caffeine jolt.... it also burnt my tongue in the process.

Relaxing now I ignored my lack of taste and decided on bacon and eggs with toast. Soon enough I had my meal in front of me. I nibbled and picked at it idly, drinking my coffee silently and letting the mug burn at my tips.

It warmed me and at the same time… hurt me. I ignored the pain though and continued to drink, continuing to my tongue until it was gone. Slowly I shut my eyes and rubbed my hot tips against my palms before quickly devouring my meal and leaving the money there for her, what was left she could have for a tip. Raising from the table and turning, I soon exited Denny's. Something was still wrong though.

What was bugging me Now? It was there, at the edge of my mind just holding tightly to that last little bit of ledge. I shut my eyes slowly and then let my feet wander down the sidewalk. The lack of people for it being in the early a nice change for me. Opening my eyes after a while though, I found the sun bearing down on my eyes, thankfully the sunglasses protected them now, I looked up at the clouded sky and a breeze came by me. It was so cold….

"Hey there sweet thing." I stared for a few more moments at the sky then slowly let my head bow and looked over my glasses at the man in front of me. I looked around me then back at him… I had wandered into an alley, this was just fantastic.… I took the time to notice that the man in front of me was going for the classical biker look… his blonde hair sticking out in every direction, messy and windswept. His eyes a bright blue… he had a beard of sorts but it was shaved a little bit back, so he had five o'clock shadow going on now.

"Hi." My voice replied, it held a sweet tone that almost made my mind do a double take. What the hell… I was talking without consent now. And I sounded like some little ditz. This was so wrong.

"My aren't you just cute." His hand came up and grabbed my chin, he smiled at me, "Why don't you and I go to a restaurant. You seem hungry." I found that my commonsense side that had the urge to kick him and tell him I just ate was being barred away, but that cool feeling was there again and my hand came forward and placed on his cheek. I opened my mouth to speak, no doubt some happy little ditz talk of 'come take me home' bull shit about to spill out from it when someone cut me off.

"My my. Newborns really are so greedy…" It was a female voice, and it sounded clearly amused. My eyes widened though and my heart began to pound instantly into me though. Fear began in me with out any rhyme or reason and before I knew it, my knees gave. I fell to the ground and my hands clenched tightly as they were scraped up by concrete. The quiet that was held except for her footsteps, which was the clacking of her dark red pumps I noticed from my low view point, the only sound that I paid attention to and my ears filled with it. My head bowed slowly before I saw her long black hair swish past me.

She reached forward, hand coming up and holding it in front of the man's face, "Go home boy." Later I would remember his name was Jackson, Dave. I watched him immediately turn and leave though, the sound almost absorbing into her form as she turned towards me. My body went limp except for remaining erect to the ground. Her hand rose and so did I slowly, my eyes shut as a feeling of ignorance and lack of control ran over me. She reached for me and grasped my chin. "I knew Hanksa was taking on a hard headed little brat." I felt like a marionette on strings.

My eyes slowly shut though at the pleasant feeling running through me; her hand was so cool… "Hmmm, you have such a large appetite don't you?" Slowly my eyes opened at this and I felt sounds moving through my throat, then I was silenced as her finger came onto my lips, "No no, don't speak back to me child… I may have to kill you."

…Kill me?

Panic began to come through my mind, fear following. This woman....

Bad. Scary! Run! RUN! I wrenched away from her grasp and stumbled back gasping, the pounding of my heart the only thing I could hear now. Her hand was still held in the air though while her almond shaped brown eyes slowly stared at me and her perfect lips pulled into a frown. "…Well lookie there… aren't you... intriguing…"

The quiet held for a few moments as my heart was about to burst from my chest. My mind was clouded with the animal like urge to run; I could feel such intense emotions coming from her. So vivid in me that my legs shook at her lust, my body heated at her hunger, and incoherent words were forming on my tongue. And then my form went cold.

I twisted and ran. Not stopping till I was back at the only place I knew I was safest in Dallas.

Hanska had stared at me wide eyed the moment I had slammed the door behind me and fell against it panting as I laid on the floor, propped up against the door. My chest rose and fell quickly before I shut my eyes tightly and clenched my hands into fists before I pulled my legs to my chest and hugged them, trying to stop the shaking.

Hands came on my shoulders and my mentor spoke immediately, "Kylie? Kylie!?" I slowly opened my eyes and stared at him. I felt incredibly dizzy… my head was so light, I was starting to see black spots and then....

A cool hand came to my shoulder and then slipped up into my neck and tilted my head back. I shivered at it but slowly smelled the familiar scent going through my nose help me calm down bit by bit. I managed to relax before two hands planted on the sides of my head. They pulled back through my hair and I heard a low order to open my eyes.

I stared up at Eric who looked half asleep and slightly grumpy, but there was something on his face I couldn't quite place.

"What happened?" I stared for a moment and then shook my head frantically making him lose his grasp on my head. It was too stupid to explain, but it was so… so unexplainable at the same time. What did happen? I had no clue!

I heard Eric sigh lightly before a hand grasped my own and yanked me up. I let out a sharp yell and attempted to yank away but soon my form was tucked against his own and felt his muscles move against my back as he pulled/dragged me to the bed.

"You'll tell me later." I slowly stopped fighting at this and my heart which had started pounding again slowly stopped from beating out of my chest. Once I laid on top of the covers, my shoes being kicked off, but I still fully dressed, I nodded before letting my head bury into the pillow.

A/N: Alrighty, got some new things going on in Dallas besides the whole Godric thing. So this should be fun to play with. Drop me a line or tell me what ya thought, and hopefully I'll see you next chapter!
