Sookie was an anomaly in the supernatural world. She was not human but she was not undead. She was merely immortal. From the moment, she had risen her world had been filled with different expectations and danger. She knew to expect this seeing that her father was Child Death and her mate and lover was the Companion of Death. She was the Daughter of Death. It was the thing of legends. Yet she could not be who she was meant to be. Not yet at least.

To truly be the woman she was meant to be Sookie needed both vampires at her side. In her time with the Ancient Pythoness she had learned many things. Including bits and pieces of prophecies, she was a part of. Nothing that would alter them, but things for her to be on the lookout for. That would tell her she was ready or that the time was right.

The first of these events had been the arrival of Bill Compton back to Bon Temps. Sookie had known why he had come. She had let it slip just enough that she was telepathic. The world she was human, entirely human just with a little quirk. If the right people knew what to listen for they would have heard that tidbit and taken it with them. Which they seemed to have done so.

Sophie-Anne no doubt would want Eric out of the way to get the telepath. The only problem with that was that the spoiled child queen had no idea just whose wrath she would provoke doing so. Sookie wanted to be there when she was taken down a peg or two but neither of her vampires was ready for that.

Sighing, the young woman realized that it was midday. She had slept much longer than anticipated. Godric, not knowing she was coming had no human food in the nest. It was not a problem. She would go out for a bite to eat and return.

Finding a notepad by the phone, Sookie left a quick note that stated she was in search of subsistence and that she would return. She also jotted down the exact time it was when she was leaving this message. In this regard, they would know how long she had been gone. The young woman hoped to return before they awoke for the evening.

Grabbing her purse and her cell phone, Sookie headed outside the nest. She did not have a car here, and most of Godric's drivers were vampires. Having no way to get ahold of his dayman, the telepath simply walked. Godric's nest was not that far from an area of town that had diners, coffee shops and other types of stores.

Sookie was not looking for anything elaborate or complicated to eat. Simple and quick. Those were her requirements. Yet she found herself stopping at the coffee shop. There was something about it. Maybe it was the bright, vibrant colors or the fact they jokingly called it 'The Witch's Brew' that made her step inside.

Places like this did not always have a lot of items on the menu that would appease an appetite but it was simple enough that she would not mind spending Eric's money on it. Or her father.
Quaint was the only word she could use to describe the inside. Sookie felt as if she had walked into a book almost. Like the scene, she was seeing were pages that told every story about a witch in the books. From Maleficent to Glenda. It was fascinating.

After ordering a plain coffee and a blueberry muffin, Sookie found a seat in the corner to enjoy her snack. The telepath had forgotten to put her shields back up. Whenever she was around vampires, she did not have to worry so much. Their minds were voids and it was quiet. The peace that she hadn't felt in forever.

Bits of conversations flitted through her mind, one that she particularly takes note of. Sookie knows that being a telepath is rare, so hearing talk about an organization that joins other telepaths together to form a community piqued her interest. So did the talk that someone thought they recognized her as the supposed telepath from Bon Temps.

What do I have a label on my forehead or something?

Sookie's dining experience was interrupted by someone joining her at her table. Looking up, she spotted a lovely redhead and smiled. She could hear the woman's thoughts, especially since they were directed to her individually. It was a little abrasive and abrupt but she was willing to hear this out.

"Hello there! You look new here. Welcome to our little gathering place. Oh it's alright I know you're special like most of us are. Oh where are my manners, my name is Tippy." came the overly enthusiastic voice that had joined her.

Sookie wanted to deny that she was special but if this person could hear her thoughts they would know. She tried to school her thoughts but it was not working. Every other thought was about returning home to her vampires.

"Hello, Tippy. I'm not all that new around here. At least not to the city. It's nice to meet you."

What else was she supposed to say? The woman was a little crazy for her liking.

"Well, I've come over here to invite you to join our little shindig. We call ourselves T.E.M.P.O or Tempo. You're just like us so you will fit in fine. Us special humans have to stick together against the vampires right?"

Sookie had a card handed to her. It was a simple business card with companies information on it.

T.E.M.P.O
Telepaths & Empaths for Mental Progression Organization
972-555-5514

That was all there was. Sookie was honestly shocked that there was such an organization and she felt a little uneasy by the thoughts bombarding her head. Tippy seemed to hate vampires almost as much as the Fellowship of the Sun did.

"If you say so. I don't find vampires to be that bad. Some of them are real nice." With that being said, Sookie stood up from her seat, threw away her trash and headed back out to the sidewalk.

Getting away from these people was her first priority. Once back at the nest, she would figure out the rest of it. As she was walking, Sookie was trying to rebuild her shields and it was working but she was also distracted.

The walk should not have taken very long but Sookie never made it back to the nest. As she crossed into the neighborhood just next to Godric's, she was snatched off the street. Literally.

A dark van drove up and three people grabbed her and hauled her inside of it before driving off. Sookie fought of course until her head came in contact with the metal hard enough to knock her out.

When she woke, Sookie found herself strapped to a metal chair with handcuffs and leather straps. Sookie's head throbbed from a headache and her focus was lacking at the current moment. . Blinking several times to try to clear her head, Sookie could only make out shapes at the moment.

Thoughts bombarded her from all sides telling her that wherever she was, there were humans and non-vampires around. There was no clear current of thought that she could pick up on and that worried her. If they were all thinking so many different things then how was she supposed to plan her escape?

When her vision finally cleared, Sookie realized that she was not alone in the room. Standing before her was none other than Tippy.

"I'm sorry we had to bring you into the fold like this but we fear for your mental health. We know you're a telepath Sookie, but how can you support vampires? They are evil and dangerous and they hold no regard for humans. Can you imagine what they would do to us if they found out about us?"

Sooke was in shock a moment as she tried to contemplate what was happening. She had been kidnapped because she felt that not every vampire was evil.

"I know what two specific ones are going to do if you don't let me go right now?"

Tippy snorted at that.

"You might be buxom and blonde but I doubt you have anything going for you that would make a vampire want to aid you. At least not like the rest of us. No, you're staying right here for now."

Before she could say much more, Sookie felt a prick in her skin. Jerking to the side, she noticed another member of the group had snuck up on her while she was busy with Tippy. She was starting to feel her eyes droop and her body become lethargic. Sending a last minute panicked plea to her vampires to save her, Sookie succumbed to the darkness.
