Hi guys! So I thought I would do quite a few chapters over the next few days so we can get into the good bit! A shout out to tattooedgirl for being my first review, thank you so much.
Here's my next chapter, hope you enjoy it and please review! :D
I looked at her feeling mostly regret, I wish I tried to keep in touch with Sookie more I mean, she was the one who really cared about me. All my life I've pushed away the people who really cared about me and I've only let the people who use me into my life.
I'm not going to be that stupid anymore. But the question is, is it too late?
And then I was surprised.
At first she was angry, surprised, confused to why I was here. But now she's happy, relieved and full of love for me. I know this because of my gift and that is I'm an empath, I can feel everyone's emotions… I have another "gift" or whatever you want to call it- but we will get to that later.
I looked at her, her big brown eyes looking at me. I had no idea what emotions she was going to act on. She took a step towards me and opened her arms to me, I know it sounds silly but I haven't felt this accepted in a long time. I walked into her arms and returned the hug.
"My god you've changed so much, what the heck are you doing here?" Sookie asked, breaking the hug.
"Well, I have nowhere to go and here is the only place I could think of to come" I answered truthfully.
I looked at her face and for the first time I noticed slight bruising.
"What the fuck happened to your face?" When I asked her this, she wanted to avoid the question. But I wasn't letting this go and she knew that, so she sat me down in a booth and explained everything and when I mean everything, I actually do mean everything.
We had to be sitting here for about an hour or something for her to explain to me about what's happened in her life. The vampire Bill, this dude called renee murdering fang bangers, Gran being murdered, and a shit load of other stuff.
"Holy fuck! A fucking vampire? What the actual fuck!" I shouted out loud causing the people in Merlotte's to look round at us.
Sookie hit me and gestured me to keep it down.
"Sorry…" I whispered. "But come on Sook, I know this vampire might be charming and handsome but then bam! Their sucking you dry. I'm just saying, I know Gran liked him but I don't want to find you dead."
She was getting a bit annoyed with me for suddenly judging her life but in no way did I mean to upset her.
"Look, I'm sorry. It's just you and Jason is all I have left… wait a minute, Jason? Where is he?" I asked not realising I completely forgot about him which is pretty hard to believe, you see when I was younger and Sookie use to babysit me, I had like… a little crush on him. Well not little, quite a big crush and the last time I saw him I was 14 and still liked him. But I don't now, well I don't think so…
"God only knows where that boy is. Here, lets introduce you to Sam." She grabbed my hand and led me towards the back into what I can only presume would be an office.
"Sam, I'm off. Oh! And this is Mia she grew up here as a kid."
I smiled at him awkwardly. He leaned forward while in sitting in his leather armchair.
"Hi, its nice to meet you." He said with a nice genuine smile.
"Hi there, its nice to meet you too." After I said that, he just looked at me for a minute like if he was trying to figure me out or something.
"Bye Sam, see you on my next shift!" Sookie then grabbed me by the arm and walked us to her car.
We drove to Grans house and when I got there, everything was exactly the same as when I was little. The smell, the carpets, even the TV was the same. It was bringing back good memories from my childhood, but it was jut weird to think that Adele wasn't here no more, to look after us, to make us apologise to each other after we've had one of our petty arguments.
Sookie led me to the guest room that I use to stay in when she had to baby sit me when my parents we're away. When Sookie left the room I dropped my duffel bag on the floor and just laid on the bed staring at the ceiling.
I was lying there for at least half an hour until I heard a light knock on the door. I turned my head as Sookie sat herself next to me on the bed.
"I know you probably don't want to but will you come with me to Bill's tonight, he has this new vampire daughter called Jessica and I don't know how I'm going to get through to her you know? And since your closer to her age I think you guy might get along." She looked at me with pleading eyes, I sighed.
"Fine." I gave in. It's the least I can do for her for letting me stay here.
She laid down next to me and we both laid there looking at each other.
"I know you probably don't want to talk about this but it's nice to be with someone who knows how I feel, not being able to really control the gift they have, you know? It must be so hard for you."
I sat up and she did the same. I took in a deep breath.
I know to other people Sookie might sound patronising in a way but Sookie knew everything about me when it came to my gifts and she knew how hard I found to control it.
I brought my fist up to eye level and slowly opened it to reveal a blue flame manifesting in my palm, when I opened it completely my whole hand was covered in this blue flame.
"I've learnt some control, but I'm still not able to control it completely and it scares me, people have tried to teach me how to control it but they don't understand." I closed my hand in a fist making the flame evaporate back into my palm.
"Your strong Mia you will learn it's just going to take a while. You need to sleep. I'll wake you up to go to Bill's later, thank you for coming back into my life I need someone like you right now honey. Sweet dreams." She got up and left the room closing the door behind her.
After she left I didn't realise how tired I was, I got up and took my pant and top of until I was standing there in just bra and knickers, because of my power I'm hot at all times and I cant sleep with pajamas because I get too hot. I usually sleep topless as well but I didn't want to give Sookie a heart attack when she woke me up. But in no way was I going to have any blankets on me while I was sleeping, I would be baking, so I just laid over the covers and fell asleep.
Later on that day.
"Mia get up! For Christ sake!" Shouted Sookie while shaking me furiously.
I opened one eye and she stopped.
"For goodness sake Mia, I actually thought you we're dead for a minute. I've never had that much trouble waking someone up."
I shrugged and sat up.
"Well, I need my sleep." I said while stretching. In mid stretch I caught Sookie staring at my body. I raised an eyebrow at her.
"I know this sounds pretty weird but you've grown up to be stunning." She said as if she really meant it.
"Sook I know your going out with this Bill but you sure you aint a lesbian as well, you know the whole bisexual thing?" I joked.
I stood up and began getting myself out some clothes from my duffel bag.
"Ha-ha, I see you haven't lost your sense of humour." She said sarcastically.
I went into my new bathroom and changed into some ripped skinny jean, biker boots and a grey baggy vest top. I fixed my hair a little and added a bit of eyeliner, and bam! I was ready.
I ran downstairs to see Sookie waiting for me in the kitchen.
"I'm ready!" I said whilst putting on my cropped leather jacket.
We got in to her little yellow car and drove to "Bill's" and I didn't see the point of even driving to his house, it was so close we could of walked it.
We walked into his place and it was… lifeless. It gave of this old vibe it wasn't a place I would like to live in.
We walked into his living area to see a young looking red headed vampire moping.
"Hey Jess… Where's Bill?" asked Sookie in a polite manner.
The red head shrugged her shoulders.
"I dunno, he just told me to stay here. I'm so bored here and I miss my family!" She whined.
"I know its hard honey but you will get use to it." Said Sookie sitting next to her and trying to comfort her.
Then she suddenly looked up at me. She walked over to me,
"Who's your friend? She's pretty and she smells so good!"
"Her names Mia." She stated.
I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Hands off newbie, I'm off limits."
She huffed then she sat back down with her arms crossed.
"I don't know why I miss my family so much, maybe if I just saw them I will feel better, even just a little glimpse of them." She hinted at Sookie.
"I don't know… Bill would be really mad at me." said Sookie looking unsure about the whole situation.
"please, please, Sookie! Just this once and Bill doesn't have to know." She begged.
"Fine okay, But Bill can't know"
Oh Sook… why do you have to be such a pushover?
Of course I think this is a bad idea but I'm not going to get involved I hardly know the girl.
"Okay, If we're going to go through with this terrible idea let's go before this 'Bill' gets here because frankly I don't want to deal with anymore drama" I said opening the front door. The two girls began to walk to Sookie's little car.
The journey to Jess' house wasn't too bad except for jessica's whining and Sookie kept saying how 'we will only be looking through their window'.
We pulled up outside the house. Jessica began looking through the car window impatiently. Did I tell you how much this girl whines?
"I can't see anything! I'm getting out to see if anyone's inside"
Sookie was about to argue with her about going inside the house but Jessica flashed out of the car and suddenly she was at the front door.
"Oh fuck Sookie! You didn't tell me this girl was as emotional as a freaking 52 year old going through her mother fucking menopause." I said as I jumped out the car with Sookie to go after the newborn vamp.
"I thought you would know! I told you she's new at this!" she explained.
We got to Jessica and were about to drag her back to the car when the front door suddenly opened by a woman who must have been Jessica's mother. Jessica looked at her mom with excitement but her mom was… well, confused.
So much for just looking through the fucking window.
Okay, so my next little chapter thing will be about how Mia looks and some information. And for her Pyrokinetic power, I was inspired when I watched the hellboy movies because I really thought Liz Sherman's power was fucking cool so, yeah that was my inspiration. Hope you liked it!
