It gets so quiet here after a while, especially when everyone was asleep. There was no one to talk to at all. So I decided to do something that would waste time and fell asleep on the bar. I laid down and fell asleep.

Hours later…

I was woken up by a high pitched scream. I sat up, suddenly seeing Sookie pointing a gun at some blonde skinny woman who I was guessing worked here.

Sookie looked over her shoulder at me,

"Ginger's got Lafayette in the basement under Eric's orders." I nodded my head knowing that Sookie filled me in on everything I needed to know.

I looked at the girl and she was quaking in her boots, I'm guessing she's never had a gun pointed at her?

Ah, Lafayette. I could never forget him, he was funny, caring and a complete drama queen. He was always straight to the point with what he said and if you we're friends with him, he would do anything to protect you.

After Sookie's threats, Ginger took us to the basement; which smelt like rotting bodies and… sex. Trust me, not a great mix. The coldness brushed over us when we walked through the door, making all three of us shiver. It was wet down here as well, there was drops of water coming down the ceiling. You wouldn't think the basement would be like this compared to the modern look upstairs.

We walked down the stairs only hearing Ginger's pink flip flops…

We looked into the darkness of the room to see an African American guy who I knew was Lafayette.

"Oh my god…" Sookie muttered as she ran over to him, she nudged him trying to wake up.

As they we're talking I turned round to Ginger who was trying to escape, I grabbed her by the arm and pinned her to the wall.

"Why has Eric got Lafayette here?" I asked feeling the fear of her body.

"I don't know anything!"

"Do you have the keys to un-cuff him?" I knew if I kept asking her questions she would answer me truthfully, for some reason she was frightened of me.

"I don't have that key!"

I looked down trying to think of what we had to do next.

"I'm going to let go but please don't runaway, I don't want to hurt you."

She nodded, so I released my grasp on her.

"Can't you melt the locks on them?" Sookie asked, she was obviously furious with the vampires.

"Um, about that. I can't really control my powers unless I'm under pressure or under those sort of circumstances." I said in embarrassment, I scratched my head and looked around.

The thing is with my power if I lost control of it, its bad. Everyone around me would die or be badly injured, that's why I have better control whilst I'm in pain or under pressure because there's something else I can concentrate on… it doesn't make sense to many people at all only I can understand what it's like to try and control this curse.

"Are you serious? You can make a flame around your palm but you can't melt a lock."

She was right in some ways but not many.

"If I try I can only melt the chains around him not the actual collar, I would burn him if I tried to melt the collar now." She looked at him while taking in the information I was giving her.

"Please we need to get him out."

I knew how scared she was for him, I walked up to them and crouched down to Lafayette's eye level.

"I'm going to melt these chains try not to move, I might burn you." I searched into his eyes, I could tell he realised who I was but he knew we didn't have time for greetings, and the vampires would be up soon enough. He closed his eyes, waiting to be set free.

I stood up and lifted both my hands up. I began slowly bending my finger and the same blue flames appeared I kept my concentration on the hands. Trying to maintain the same size flame, I didn't want it to get bigger- that's when I would lose control.

I picked up the chain and tried to make it hotter, I was putting so much concentration into this, I didn't notice anyone else in the room. When the chains went a red colour, I pulled on it slowly watching the rings of the chains expands longer and longer until one of the rings broke in half, falling on to the concrete floor making a clanging sound.

When the chains broke, I put the flames out feeling a bit light headed afterwards. I ignored it and helped Sookie lift Lafayette off the floor. We went upstairs with Ginger walking in front of us. When we laid Lafayette on the sofa, Sookie went and got him a glass of water. After a few minutes Lafayette fell asleep.

A few minutes later…

I was bored of this bar and began pouring myself a tequila shot, I knocked it back and I squeezed my eyes shut as it hit the back of my throat. I put my hands over my ears as soon as I saw Bill come into the room, too much drama. Didn't want to hear their relationship issues.

I had no idea what was happening behind me. Then in the corner of my eye I saw Eric come into the room, a few seconds later I heard a slap. I turned around to see Eric barely flinching from the slap, he complimented Sookie which only aggravated her and resulted to her threatening him. You never threatened a vampire, EVER. Because it would usually be the last thing you did.

His fangs exposed, I quickly got in the middle of them and turned to Eric.

"Woah guys, let's put the fangs away and come to an agreement." I raised an eyebrow at Eric knowing he liked the sound of that word; agreement.

"Eh, I knew you would like the sound of that."

His smile grew wider.

"Perhaps we should."

He led us to his office and put down his proposition about going to Dallas and saving this vampire. And if we refused we couldn't take Lafayette home with us, then we would have to break in and kidnap him and I don't like the sound of making this vampire my enemy. The agreement sounded pretty okay, not too much trouble. But Bill was worried about Sookie which turned into their own little argument. Eric rolled his eyes at their petty argument and looked at me.

"I will cover all the expenses of course and yes, I will release your friend."

"And I want five thousand dollars" Sookie cut in, I like the way she thinks.

"Ten thousand…Each." I added, Sookie turned to Bill and explain why she needed the money I just shrugged.

"I ain't got a job and it seems no one's going to give me one so why not work for a vampire? It's not like their poor." It was the truth.

"You humans are getting cocky." Looks like Eric wasn't impressed with this arrangement.

"I will escort them both as well." I looked over at Bill in shock, this man has grown a pair. I looked at him in approval.

"I don't think so."

Me and Sookie both turned to Eric and argued "Yes."

"Ten thousand and Bill escorts us or it's a deal breaker." Added Sookie.

Sookie and Eric gave eachother cold stare then Eric turned to me.

"I escort Mia and Bill can escort his human then we have a deal."

Sookie was about to argue with him but I knew she needed that money.

"Deal." I said without further thought. He smiled and turned to his machine and muttered something in another language.

"You humans surprise me, and that is a rare quality in a breather."

"You disgust me." Answered Sookie with no emotions what so ever.

I was impressed.

"Man, that's such a good line, I cant top that." I said outloud.

They all just looked at me.

"Perhaps I'll grow on you." Eric carried on.

"I prefer cancer."

Bill looked at me as my mouth hanged open in disbelief.

"She's good." I mouthed to him and gave him two thumbs up, he looked away trying not to laugh.

"You need to leave immediately. Mia, you are staying here." He said to me.

The door suddenly opened and Lafayette was thrown on to the floor.

"Such a shame I was hoping Eric would let me keep you." Said Pam with her hands on her hips.

"You already have enough pets." Eric said abruptly.

"No offence but you ain't exactly my type, bitch." I smiled at Lafayettes comment.

"Can I kick him?" I couldn't believe how childish Pam was acting, it was super amusing.

Bill then wanted to start an argument with Pam but Eric broke it up.

They all left while I stayed here with the vampires, Sookie owed me for this one.

So.. What's going to happen while she stuck with Eric ;) haha! Hope you liked it!
