A/N: Sorry it took so long to get another chapter up. I had to deal with the end of the semester tests and finals. Thank you to all the people who have reviewed! It makes my day when people tell me that they enjoy reading my stories. SO, without further ado...
Chapter Three
Sookie POV
I could hear voices as I started to wake up. It sounded as if Bill, Eric, and Jason were arguing over something. I kept hearing a familiar voice but couldn't remember who it belonged to. I suddenly had a sharp pain in my side as people's thoughts started to crowd my mind because my shields were down. The pain became so bad that I started to moan. The arguing that had been going on around me stopped and I noticed that there were four voids standing around me. Then I felt something cold against my hand and realized that it was Bill. I opened my eyes and noticed that the walls were white. 'The walls in my room aren't white or are they?' I thought to myself as I looked around the room. One of the surprising things that I saw was Eric Northman speaking to an older looking man who was standing next to him. I noticed the older gentleman staring at me before turning back to Eric. I heard my brother's voice and turned to the direction it was coming from and what I saw shocked me. Tara was talking to Jason and she's rarely like that around him. I was trying to figure out what had happened to make everybody act so differently when Tara and Dr. Ludwig walked in. Tara was holding a blue transparent vase full of pink tulips that he put on the table next to the bed.
"Thank you, Tara. That was so sweet of you!" I said my voice a bit hoarse. "No problem, Sookie. I just thought that you could use something to bring color into the room." I heard someone clear their throat. I looked over at Dr. Ludwig. "Sookie, do you know why you were attacked? Is there someone who might have it out for you or want revenge?" I couldn't think of anyone off hand, so I shook my head. "If you do think of anyone, tell Mr. Northman here and he will contact me, understand? It is alright to ingest vampire blood. You should be well enough to leave either later tonight or early tomorrow morning. It might be better if you leave tonight. Well, I must be getting back to my other patients. Goodbye, Sookie." With that she walked out the door. I tried to pull myself up, but found that I didn't have the strength. Bill helped me sit up and then moved to sit in a chair next to the bed. "Sookie, this is your grandfather. His name is…" I instantly knew his name for some reason unknown. "Niall, the prince of the Fae." I replied, shocking everyone except for Niall. "How'd you know, Sookie? Have you met before or can you read his thoughts too?" Before I could answer Tara, Niall stepped away from the wall and came to the other side of the bed. "No, she cannot read my thoughts, but she can recognize me because she is part Fae. That's why she has the ability to read others thoughts, except for Fae and Vampire. Like the doctor said it would be safer for her to leave tonight in the company of three vampires and a Fae."
Before I could object, the three vampires moved into defensive stances around me. Bill pulled Tara behind him, while Eric turned to Bill and whispered into his ear, too low and fast for me to hear. Bill glanced at me and then turned to Niall and spoke. "Niall, if we should fail, you must take Sookie and Jason to safety. If I die, it will be knowing that Sookie is safe." He turned back to the door just in time to see the hospital room door explode open.
