Dead To All Of Merlotte's

Noon the next day was cold, so when I turned over I found that Sam had gone, but left a note.

Gone to work, no need to come in since Sookie is back.

See you later tonight.

Sam

Huh, I'd forgotten about work. I got out of bed and ran a steaming hot shower and just stood there breathing the steamy hot air in, I still felt the strongest of the unknown blood in me. Maybe the vampire I fought had a cut and the blood had entered me, it was the only logical explanation I could think of. But when I was fighting with him I didn't notice that he had any cuts or marks. When I stepped out of the shower and put my fluffy towel around me I stared into the mirror. I looked deeply into my reflection, seeing something. It was a man leaning against my bathroom door, dressed completely in black. And I knew for a fact this wasn't Eric, this mans eyes were dark green.

"Oh shit." I muttered.

He held up a gun pointing to my head in the mirror and was about to fire when he dropped to the ground and covered his head. I looked in the mirror, my face had changed, I was paler, my eyes brighter, fangs and all. This is what I could be.

"I don't think so." I walked over to the man a picked up the gun when he kicked me in the stomach and sent me into the bath tub.

He obviously wanted me dead. I took the vampire strength I had in me and when the man came again he managed to get a bullet into my side above my hip. When he tried again I got the gun and shot his head, he was human thankfully, but he to had vampire blood in him. He dropped to the bath room floor dead, blood stained the floor, my white towel. I layed on the bath room floor curled up against a clean wall in nothing but the bloody towel. I was weak and my head hurt, blood trickled down the side of my head and blood flowed slowly out of the bullet in my side. I heard Eric's voice when it was dark and I whispered to him.

"In here."

He found me seconds later turning on the bathroom light and took in the surroundings. He saw me, my bloody head and half white and half red towel. "What happened?" he asked as he came over to me, kneeling next to me and lifting me in his strong arms.

I only flung a hand to the dead man on the floor.

"You did that?" he asked me.

I nodded and whimpered as my head hurt. "Please help me."

"Of course my dear."

He brought me to my bed and layed me there, he spent the next two hours cleaning my head and getting all the blood out then removed the bullet from my side and licked the reaming blood up. He then cleaned my bathroom and disposed of the body then ran a bath for me to soak in, with a lot of bubbles.

"Do you want Sam?" he asked.

"Please." He nodded and left the bathroom while I got into the steaming big hot bath.

A few minutes later I heard Eric speak. "He'll be here soon, I'll guard the door." He said through the closed door.

"Thankyou I told him."

Not even five minutes after that, Sam walked in and thanked Eric. Then Eric left and Sam came into the bathroom. "Are you alright?" he asked softly, I could tell he regretted going to work that morning.

"None of this is your fault, Eric cleaned the bathroom and me up."

"When you say cleaned you up, what did he do?"

"Took the bullet out of my side and licked up the blood there and from my head to. Why are you jealous?"

"No, maybe. Probably." He sighed.

I sat up a bit in the tub and kissed his mouth and he responded willingly.

Hey all……………… what did you think of that?????
