Chapter 6

It was almost nightfall and I couldn't think of what to wear. I had a purple dress, and I had a common little black dress. I kind of didn't want to wear the black one, cause it would give off the mood that I wanted to go serious into this relationship. I picked the purple/Lavender dress assuming it was a neutral color. I looked in my mirror and it couldn't get much better then this. Tonight was the night where I would decide if my heart was in the right place.

I came down my stairs, as I made my way towards my door.

The sun was setting, making the sky the most beautiful sight that I have ever saw. I stopped and stared at the sky with the multiple colors that were shown like: orange, pink, red, yellow, and purple to name a few. It reminded me of the night before I left Eric that time long ago. The sky became black, as a vampire swiftly arrived.

Mr. Compton, was here wearing a suit with a black tie.

"Sookie, you look beautiful." Bill inquired.

"So do you, well you look handsome." I replied as I swept passed him and made my way towards the car. He opened the car door for me as I went in. He started the car and headed straight out of my drive way.

~X~

We neared a building with loads of people coming and going. Some were dressed to the point of over kill and some were just right. Bill parked the car as he came near the door to open it. I stepped out, as Bill offered his arm. I took it, not wanting him to differ away. Cause let's face it, if there was danger, it seems like I attract it, it would find me.

We entered the building as it contained dangerously big diamond chandeliers as the stairs cascaded down. Everyone was going stepping up, we followed the flow not wanting to look foreign or out of place.

We walked closer and closer until we stopped, there were a lot of people as they were trying to find their seats. I looked to Bill as he knew what I was thinking he nudged me forward as he lead me to the very front war. I should have guessed. If you were a vampire, money was not a problem. I mean just look at Eric. Eric, I missed him. Ever since the car ride and arriving here I've felt nothing. Every time I thought of Bill there was nothing.

Why was I even here?

I mean I knew that my feelings were messed up, but now I know for sure who I love.

Bill shook me out of my thoughts as he tried to lean in closer to kiss me. I shied the other making him kiss my cheek. In return he gave me a smirk. The lights turned off as the curtains revealed two figures. One was a woman and the other was a man.

The women had red hair, with a black shiny dress, making it seem more real. Making me feel better for choosing the purple. The other was wearing all out black as I skimmed there faces. I knew one of them. As the man had a smirk. A smirk that I knew from a long time ago.

Even though I was young at the time, he murdered Eric's parents. It was Russell Edging ton.

I tried to get away but then I noticed Bill's hands gripping me. I thought my day couldn't have gotten much worse.

Trying to break up with Bill or having him break my heart before I could.

"Ms. Stackhouse, Pleasure to meet you again" as Russell made his way slowly towards me. Making the inevitable last longer then it should have been. I hated my life, for when you think it's normal, it just bites you back until there's nothing left.
