Recap: You just bought a house, and then let the four construction men carry the heavy furniture into the house. After all of your things were in the house, the one named Jason Stackhouse invited you to a restaurant called Merlottes. You accepted.

You had followed the men in their truck; they needed to make a stop where the other men's trucks were from earlier. After picking up their correct vehicles, you followed Jason's black truck. His and your truck looked almost identical, but yours happened to be smaller and a dark blue instead of black. You slightly glanced in your rearview mirror and saw Hoyt following behind you in his truck. Everyone seemed to have a truck; you guessed it was because of all the dirt and vegetation that surrounded the town.

In minutes you made it to Merlottes, but there were more cars than you thought there would be. They reached around the whole restaurant; you guessed that this was the main food establishment in the area. You parked next to Jason and Reñe, and then walked in with Hoyt holding the door for you. You were dressed in a mini jean skirt, a black tank top, white and black converse shoes, and your long black hair was straight. It reached the middle of your back, but the layers made it look shorter than it really was and your bangs were parted to the side above your eyes, but below your eyebrows.

Everything was normal, up until the whole restaurant went quiet, and stared at you. You scrunched up your eyebrows, trying to keep the thoughts from the people around you, out of your head.

'Who is that? Does she even live here? Damn Tourists.'

'That girl is hot; I wouldn't mind getting to know her.'

'Poor girl, everyone's staring at her.'

'Who does she think she is? Getting all the guys attention.'

'She looks like one of those fang bangers.'

Trying to act somewhat normal, you smiled, waved, and sat down in an empty booth. Jason, Hoyt, and Reñe sat down with you. Tom went home to see his wife, leaving the three men with you.

"Why is everyone staring at me?" Obvious question, but why not ask the guys? See what they think of the whole new girl thing.

"No one has ever seen such a beautiful girl in this town before." Hoyt was such a sweetheart, but definitely not your type. You're more into the bad boy sorts.

"I have. It's cause you're new. No one has seen you before. They are all snooty people; they need to know everyone and everything." Jason is blunt; you know you will like him, as a friend of course. You have read the things in his head; he likes sex way too much.

"What can I get for ya'll?" You look up and freeze. A girl with blonde hair, black short shorts, a white shirt, and a black apron stood in front of the table. What made you freeze was you could read her mind, but she wasn't thinking of work. She was thinking about trying not to listen to others people's thoughts. You never met anyone that could read thoughts like you could. She looked at you, smile thrown from her face with a surprised look on it instead.

'Keep smiling or they will think that something is wrong.' You spoke inside your mind quickly and she nodded to herself, smile back on her face. The boys at the table all looked at each other then shook it off like it happened all the time. You ordered fries and a Dr. Pepper, not feeling hungry anymore. She walked off and gave the order to the cook.

'Meet me by the bathrooms.' You heard the voice of the girl in your head. You close your eyes, thinking that this could have never happened in a million years.

"Excuse me; I need to go to the bathroom." You smiled and Jason stood up since he was sitting next to you. You walk to the bathrooms and then you get grabbed by the arm into a clear space.

"I never knew anybody else could read minds like me." You noticed she was very happy and bubbly, more than anyone you have ever met.

"I didn't either. I thought I was alone." You smiled back at her and compared her to yourself. She was the exact opposite of you.

"I am Sookie Stackhouse by the way; looks like you already met my brother." You nodded and saw the comparison between the two siblings. Before you could respond, gasps were heard from where Sookie and you stood. Sookie looked at you and mouth vampire to you. The both of you walked out and saw a tall blonde man standing in front of three men, one man with a cast on his arm. Sookie ran over and you followed, making sure she did not get hurt.

"What's going on? Bill?" A man with short black hair who dressed in nice clothes glanced at Sookie, but kept his eyes on the blonde man and women.

"Bill, we must go. Pam, get the car ready." The blonde women, Pam you assumed, walked out of the bar, and Bill, the well dressed man, grabbed Sookie's arms. By the looks of the situation, the three who came in were vampires and Sookie was in love with the vampire Bill. You did not see this as odd.

"I must go Sookie, I do not want to, but I must. Please be careful while I am gone." Bill kissed Sookie and walked out the door where Pam stepped through. You looked at Sookie, tears in her eyes, and grasped her shoulder with your left hand.

"Who is this?" The man looked at you with hungry eyes and you glared at him.

"My name is Melanie, but that doesn't matter. I think you should leave. You've done enough damage." You stepped in front of Sookie and stood your ground in front of the pale man. Everyone in the room gasped, you rolled your eyes. Sookie grabbed your arm, warning you not to annoy the man. All you did was smirk and glare at him some more. He smirked back and walked up to you, his mouth stopped next to your right ear.

"I do not think it is a good idea to upset a vampire. Especially one as old as I am. You never know what could happen." He whispers in your ear, slightly lowering his mouth to your neck. You do not flinch or take the glare from your eyes.

"I am not afraid of you and I never will be." His fangs come out and graze your neck; you close your fists, your nails sinking into the skin of your palm. He laughs and lifts his head, smiling down at you.

"You are brave, I give you that. My name is Eric. When we meet again." He bows and leaves out the door. You glare at him and the door he leaves out of, and then take the breath you held since he whispered in your ear.

"Melanie, I cannot believe you did that!" Sookie looks at you incredulously, but you shake it off.

"It was honestly no problem, I have had to deal with worst than him, trust me." You notice that no one is talking and close your eyes in exasperation. Can these people not leave you alone?

"That was awesome!" Jason wrapped an arm around your shoulders and laughed. Everyone started their conversations again, but this time about you standing up against a vampire. No wonder no one lives in this town. Everyone is so nosy.

"I think I am going home. I am not hungry and I have to go job hunting tomorrow. Lots to do." You smiled and took Jason's arm off of you.

"You can work here. I am sure that Sam would not mind. After all, we are understaffed." Sookie smiled and you nodded your head, thinking that was a pretty good idea.

"Sure, I'll come in tomorrow and see if he wants to hire me. Today is just a really rough day for me. I hope you feel better though Sookie. Call me if you need to talk or anything. Ok?" You give Sookie your number and give her a hug.

You walk out the door and feel better with the cool air on your skin. When you reach your truck, you notice a letter on your windshield. You reach it and look for a name on the front, nothing. You unfold it and frowned. It was in a different language.

Мелани,

Наше первое собрание не пошло наилучшим образом, но я надеюсь что мы может получить, что знало один другого очень хороший когда возврат I. Я могу быть вампиром и смотреть порочным, но под экстерьером, я более кровожадн чем вы знаете. Вы улавливали мою девушку человека глаза. Отсутствие идя задней части.

Эрик

Somehow you knew who it was from as well as you knew that you would be able to read the note after some serious researching.
