Chapter Two: Bunk in the Night


A few days had passed since she revealed herself to Sam, she was happy that she had someone to talk to. Granted, he may have not been a mermaid but he was a shifter so it came close. Alana smiled to herself as she help Gran in the garden while Sookie was sunbathing.

"Oh, that girl is always in the sun with no protection. What happens if she gets skin cancer?" Gan said as she pulled a weed from the ground.

"I am sure she will be just fine. But what won't be fine are these flowers with animals coming at night and messing them up!" Alana annoyed at the fact they had just fixed the rose, for them to be eaten or stomped on. Out of no where a man with blonde hair wearing jeans and the road crew shirt appeared by Sookie. They began talking, more like bickering at each other.

Sookie sat up from her chair, "Shut your mouth or Gran will hear you, Jason." Jason glanced towards his Gran to see if she was listening, then his eyes laid on the young woman who was beside her weeding and laughing with Gran.

"Now, who is that? She sure is beautiful." Jason seemed to be in trance when he spoke about Alana. "Ew! No she isn't available on the list to screw. She is the new girl who moved in with us, you know, Melody's niece?" Jason's mouth dropped. Melody's niece, he thought she was probably some nerdy person not a total babe from where he was standing. "Wait, Sook? Isn't that the girl who told Tara off and then ended up making really good friends with?" Sookie nodded, she was happy Alana had made an impression on the town. Some may have been bad but, overall everyone seemed to like her.

"Jason! Oh, my boy how are you?" Gran walked up to Jason and hugged him. "Jason, I would like you to meet Alana, Alana this is my grandson Jason." Alana smiled at him and they shook hands. "Well, Gran why don't we go inside and eat the lunch you and I cooked and all of us can hang out and talk." Gran ushered all of them into the kitchen, she answered the house phone as Alana began to serve Jason and Sookie.

"So Alana? Wow, that's a different name, the way you look too, is different." She gave Jason and confused look but Jason began to stutter when he realized what he sound sounded like an insult. "Not- not that you look bad or anything. You are really beautiful. Lots of women here here aren't like the kind to keep themselves well cause all the smoking and drinking." Alana chuckled at Jason's attempt to fix what he said. Alana sat down next to Jason and across from Sookie. They began eating and talking. Jason tried multiple times to put his hand on Alana's leg but one glare from his sister and he took it right off.

Gran entered the room talking about a woman name Maudette Pickens being murdered and Jason's face immediately became shocked. Sookie had mentioned to Alana how Jason screwed everything and anything. The four talked a bit about vampires and how they say vampire sex and vampire biting is 'a great feeling' among other things. Jason left kissing his gran on the cheek, Alana walked over to the sink to begin doing the dishes as Gran and Sookie went to get the broom from the laundry room. She smiled at Jason when he kissed her on the cheek and said goodbye. Shaking her head at the lady's man's actions she continued the dishes.


A few days had past, Alana had been woken up to Sookie and Gran talking about Dawn's. From what she could hear Sookie went to wake Dawn up who she thought over slept. The big twist was Sookie found Dawn lying in bed, lifeless. Jason arrived not to long after her wanting to apologize to Dawn about the fight they had the previous night. For the past days the three women cleaned and busied themselves. When the Stackhouse women are upset boy, do they clean. It was not to long word got around Jason had ended up in jail, Jason was freaking out. The situation really took a toll on Adele and Sookie. Soon Sookie left for work as Gran went to a meeting of the DGD (Descendents of the Glorious Dead). Alana was at home on her computer about to do Sam's website. She picked up her phone and decided to call him, after three rings he picked up.

"Hey Merlotte it's Alana."

"Well hello there. *Laughs* How are you, Cher?"

"I am good, quick question about the website. You know how each website has a home, about, contact info and a bunch of other things?"

"Uh-huh. Yeah."

"Okay so, for your about page do you want it to be about you and Merlotte's? Cause if we include you we can even advertise your rental homes as well."

"See. I knew you were the right person for the job. I am puting full faith in you, so whatever you think is best, do it."

"Okay! Alright, I know what I am going to do."

"Have fun, Cher. I hope to see your pretty face soon, maybe we can go out to the dock and you know.."

"Of course you will be seeing my face! *Giggles* And yes, next time I go I will be knocking on your door, forcing you to come whether you want to or not."

"Time with you? Well, who could pass that up. *Arlene yells: Get off the phone with your girlfriend and help out! Dammit*"

"Well, I better let you go. I am going to come now and Arlene is getting angry again. Talk to you soon, handsome."

"Will do, gorgeous."

Alana hung up the phone and laughed. She liked Sam and he liked her, not in a romantic sense but as really good friends. The two had so much in common, and adding a little flirting was just how they joked. Alana looked back at the computer screen, on point the door knocked. She got up and walked towards the door. There was no other way to procrastinate better, she opened the door and was met with a face.

Mr. Dark, Mysterious and Handsome appeared at the doorway. She smiled as she thought why would he be here? Maybe he was looking for Sookie? Wait, how we he know where she even lived!

"Good evening, I believe we haven't been properly introduced. I am William Compton but, call me Bill." Bill said smiling at her.

"I'm Alana Sofokleous." (Pronounced: Soo- fo- Clay- ous)

"I wanted to meet your acquaintance since I live across the cemetery. I was actually on my way to Merlotte's and wanted to see if Sookie was here by any chance."

"Oh! She is working tonight. Um, I am actually about to go there now if you wanted a ride." Okay, maybe I was a little crazy, Alana though to herself.

"Why thank you. I will wait here as you retrieve your things." Bill said in a cool tone. Alana went back in the house grabbing her laptop and cell phone. She quickly looked in the mirror at her black laced high waist short and a polka dot blouse. She grabbed her blazer and keys, before throwing on her beige anklet boots to match the interior of her jacket. She walked out the front door as Bill leaned against the porch. Once settling into the car they drove off in her Mazda.

The drive was quiet until Bill broke the silence, "Where are you from?"

"Greece, Cythera to be exact."

"Greece? Why would you leave there to come here?" Bill looked at her, curious to what her answer may be.

"I don't know my aunt died and Sookie's grandmother offered me to stay here, they were great friends. You? Come on, a vampire like you had to live in great places. Why Bon Temps?"

Bill talked about old Jesse Compton and how he built that house in the civil war. He talked about the places he lived, she asked him questions about himself. In the span of 15 minutes they really got to know each other. They pulled up to Merlotte's and got out of the car, "Thank you Alana I really did enjoy your company." Bill walked in the restaurant as Alana texted Sam that she was there.

She walked into the bar with her laptop case to hear men whistling at her. Many people were talking about the death of the waitress, Dawn Green. Rumor had it she had sex with a Vampire, Alana felt bad when she woke up to see Sookie sobbing about find her co- worker half naked in Sam's rental apartment. What was worse was worse was the cops believed Jason had went into a homicidal rage causing him to lash out and murder the infamous Dawn. She brushed it off, focusing on why she was here. She looked around the room and saw Bill sitting in a table, with an amused look on his face at all the excitement that was caused by Alana walking through the door. Bill watched her as she placed he laptop case on the bar counter and wrapped her arms around Sam and hugged him. Bill began to wonder if Sam and Alana were a thing. Alana then opened up her laptop case while Sam stared at her ass as she bent down to plug in the charger as well as all the other men who could see what was going on, did as well. Bill laughed at the scene but looked towards Sookie serving the patrons. Sam and Alana were on the computer picking out layouts as the rest of the bar watched their actions and began to question the relationship. All the patrons head turned toward Sookie and Bill as the sat close by each other talking to one another, Alana was talking until she noticed that Sam was glaring at his waitress and the vampire conversing.

"Sam! Stop staring let her do what she wants, as long as it's here and not out in the woods, I think you should let it go."

Sam chose to ignore her and Alana felt bad for Sookie and Bill not being able to have a decent conversation. An idea popped in her head, Alana got her professional camera out of the laptop bag and asked for everyone's attention hoping to buy the two some time. "Um, excuse me? I wanted to ask you fine citizens of Renard parish a favor." Everyone's head turned as Alana winked at Sookie, telling her to continue talking to him she projected to the telepath. Alana was standing on a bar stool in front of the smoker's area by the pool table. Sam looked up at her shaking his head and smiling at her.

"Okay so some of you may know I am designing Sam's website, but in order to have a good website you need photos of the place. Then I thought why take a picture of an empty bar and the food, when I can take pictures of the real everyday costumers enjoy their food and talking with one another. So I wanted to ask you all if I could come around and take photos of you guys to put on the website. It would really help Sam and the bar out big time. So what do you all say?"

The patrons began to clap and smile, some even shouted out their yes's. Alana got off the bar stool with the help of Sam lifting her off it. "I highly doubt standing on a bar stool and possibly falling off cracking your head open will help the business." Alana laughed and kissed him on the cheek, "Yeah, well, I try."

She walked away glancing and Bill and Sookie, Bill nodded at Alana in appreciation of her stunt while Sookie mouthed the word 'thank you'.


Alana went around the bar and took photos of everyone laughing and talking, she even took some photos of Sam and the patrons. The last photo that was shot was of her on Sam's counter in the bar as he looked up and laughed at her as she made a funny face at her, that was taken by Bill himself. Bill walked up to her and thanked her, Sam didn't like the fact Bill was around her. Sam snaked his arm around her waist protectively. Bill left and Sam smirked at his departure. "Sam, you didn't have to snake your arm around me like that." She busted out laughing at that moment.

Sam asked her what was so funny. In between catching her breath and laughing, "Snake! You... snake... SNAKE." She laughed even harder to the point of tears. Her face was red, he laughed at how hard she was laughing and her laughing at her own pun about the shifter. "You are a loser, Alana. Laughing at your own joke." Sam helped her to the back where her laptop and camera were in his office. After she calmed down she looked at her turned to Sam. He laughed dead in her face at the sight of her mascara that ran all down her face. She looked in the mirror and smacked him, "Shut up, shit face!" After she managed to clean up her make up she sat on the big chair in his office typing away as he sat at the desk doing paper work. They worked for a while until Sam told her to go into his trailer cause the heat was killing them both, so she could work more comfortably and if anything he would not be so far from her since he would be in the bar. They walked out the restaurant into the trailer, Alana took her ankle boots off and kicked back on the couch while Sam adjusted the A.C.

She began typing as she spoke, "So... Sookie, heh?" Sam turned around to look at her, "Yeah, what about her?"

She looked up from the laptop and gave him a look, "I am not that stupid. I know you have a thing for her. There is no way you are that protective of someone without caring about them deeply."

Sam began grasping at straws, "So! I- I got protective of you when vampire Bill came by you." Alana shook her head at Sam, "Now there are three reason why you did that, One you like me and don't want him near me which I highly doubt. Two, you see me a as good friend and some to confide in and don't want me to go down that road, in that case it's a maybe. Or three, just to piss him off which I can totally see." Alana pointed at him when she said the third reason.

"Well, maybe I do like you. Maybe I didn't want to see a girl I had just met not to long ago who I learned to care about end up dead."

Alana chuckled as she stood up, Sam followed her movement and s walked over to her, "Sam, honey. You know you don't like me and if you do Sookie will always be the bigger crush. You and I both know you wanted to piss Bill off, I admit it was pretty funny to watch."

Sam then kissed her hard, Alana was taken back by his action but then kissed him back. He swiped his tongue on her lower lip; Alana's lips parted as he slid his tongue into her mouth. She wrapped her arms around his neck, placing his hands on her waist gripping her and pulling her closer to him. She ran her fingers through her hair the kiss became more passionate than gentle and soft how it had started off. He grabbed her legs and wrapped them around his waist. His growing bulge pressed against her hot core. He began to kiss her neck as her placed her on the kitchen counter, she moaned in pleasure and he was close to placing his hand in between her legs. But the moment was cut off the blaring sound of a phone ringing. Sam sighed in frustration, running his fingers through his hair. She hopped of the counter and laughed as she picked up the phone, "Hello?"

She looked back at Sam and winked at him, he wrapped his hands around her waist, "Alana? It's Bill. Sookie gave me your number. I wanted to ask you a question."

"Yeah sure, what's up?" Alana was curious about his question. Was it to important he couldn't wait until tomorrow. Bill smoothly spoke, "Sookie has talked to me about Dawn and Maudette and she has asked me to escort her to the vampire bar, Fangtasia. I don't know if you want to join us but, I would love for you to join us since you know Sookie well and can keep me company as she speaks to others."

"Um, I would love to. If she wouldn't mind, when and what time?"

"She was the one to bring it up and I completely agreed. I will pick you and her up in two hours then." The line went dead. Sam looked at Alana who spun around to face him. "What happened?" She said as he nibbled on her ear.

She moaned and pushed him back a bit. "Sam, their are thing you don't know about me and my powers. I don't want to be intimate with you and something happens. I am sorry."

"Like what, Cher?"

"We feed on the souls. Or life force or whatever you want to call it. For some it's when they are angry for me it's mainly when I am sexual, I get that hunger. If something happened I would never forgive myself. You really care about Sookie and you know it. Maybe there is something there for me, I don't know but you really care about her and I don't want to mess that up for you. Okay?" He nodded, the kissed again. In between the kisses he said, "But we can do.." he wrapped his arms around her and continued, "..this from time to time." She laughed at him and hit him on the shoulder. She put her shoes back of and packed her things up.

"Wait, Alana where are you going?" Sam asked sitting next to her on the couch watching her pack her things.

"I have to go, duty calls. I will come by soon." She stood up and walked to the front door and turned around, "Bill asked me to go to Fangtasia to watch Sookie. So all three of us are going. Before you say anything else, I promise you I will call or text if anything bad happens." Sam didn't like the idea of Alana and Sookie going with that vampire. What happens if he does something to her or even Sookie!

"Alana... Please think about it. I know you won't change your mind so, I want you to be careful. Anything happens and I mean anything, you call me immediately. Whether someone annoys you or car troubles. Text me when you get there and when you leave. Watch Sookie, you know how she is." Alana smiled, "Yes! Okay I promise. Thank you understanding."

Sam shook his head and sighed. "Be careful, you heard? Please." He kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Of course. Night." She hugged Sam. She was touched how protective he became but, was excited about the fact she was going to a Vampire Bar! Sam pulled her into hug warning her about being careful. "And Sam what I said about earlier, we can never do that again. You were blinded by lust. Mermaids have this thing to them, I really don't know to explain it but, you will feel drawn to me I need you to resist, okay? That's why people say we are bringers of bad luck, we blinded our victims with lust and allured them into do things for us and ending in death. What you think you feel for me, isn't real. Trust me."

She turned around and left, Sam stood at the doorway confused at her revelation. She walked to her car and threw her bag in the passenger seat. Driving up humming bird road she smiled and thought:

Honestly, what could happen at some cliche Vampire bar.


Sookie walked down the stairs in a red and white summer dress with her hair pulled down, she waited for a couple of minutes with Bill until Alana showed up. Alana was wearing a Herve Leger dress that was brown and had lines and Aztec print. Skin tight mid thigh dress and black pumps with red on the bottom cause Sookie to say, 'Wow, uh, you look great." Alana laughed and followed out behind Sookie and Bill. The hopped in the car and drove off, the 45 minute drive seemed to take forever.

Alana was bored out of her mind as she tried to entertain herself. Playing a game on her iPhone, she made sound effects as she played. "Bored back there, Alana?" Bill pulled Alana out of her trance as he continued to drive. The car ride had been silent for a while.

"So Bill told you everything?" Sookie asked from the front seat and Alana nodded her head. She looked at Mr. dark, mysterious and handsome, "Yeah, he called me and said to me we were going to look around the vampire bar to find out about the murders in the town. I'm guessing to clear Jason's name?" She questioned the twenty-five year old. "Yep, I know my brother has nothing to do with these murders. May be annoying and irrational but he isn't smart enough or even have the heart to do it." She said with determination and Alana liked the fact that Sookie would do anything for the man. "You're a good sister, Sookie." The blonde smiled and turned back to the road, Alana smirked and and leaned back in the seat.

"Have you told her?" Bill asked Sookie, looking over at her, the blonde, "She knows, about my ability." Sookie looked at Alana for a long moment and shook her head. 'Was she trying to read my mind?' Alana thought to herself. "I can't hear yours either... Well unless you project your thoughts like you did in the bar earlier for us, while trying to get us privacy." She admitted and Bill's ears where analyzing the conversation after what she had said. "Hm... Strange." Alana said knowing Sookie had a good idea why, since she knew she wasn't human.

It seemed that he was trying to figure out what she was, "Penny for your thoughts." Sookie then commented while looking at Bill, who turned his head. "I thought liked not hearing my thoughts." He said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. He kept his eyes on the road. "You won't care for it."

"That doesn't mean I don't wanna know."

"You look like vampire bait." He snorted as he looked at the blonde, also gesturing to Alana "You both do. Except Alana looks more into the scene." Sookie to start laughing. "What? That's not so bad!" She said as he continued. "I promised your grandmother no harm would come to you at Fangtasia tonight. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to keep that promise with you dressed like this."

"So are you saying you think I look nice?"

"Doesn't matter what I think. This isn't a date, remember?" Alana snorted at his remark, Sookie let a smile creep onto her face. Bill shook his head at the women for their lack of concern. "All I am saying is just to be careful tonight. Anything can happen. So please watch yourselves." He warned and the two women nodded at Bill, realizing that he was being serious.

"Well tonight will be full of adventure." Alana said as Bill smirked at her through the rear view mirror.
