Chapter 2

Attack

[SOOKIE POV]

I trotted over to the Rats table to get their order, even though I knew it would be the same as every night they stopped by. Denise was glaring at me like I was annoying just because I exist. Trust me, the feeling is mutual. Mack, on the other hand, was looking at me like I was the prize winning pig at the county fair. His wife hadn't noticed yet.

My shield was still down and Mack is a projector, I heard some pretty nasty thoughts about me loud and clear. I had half a mind to dump the beer from the next table all over him. I kept my composure mostly, but my face must have jumped a little because Denise was looking like I was crazy. I'm used to those looks by now, but I still closed my shields a little more. Then I finished getting their order. They got the same old thing, beer and burgers.

I got the wine for our undead unfriend and started towards his table when I noticed the Rats had drifted over. Maybe alike people can converge, not just opposites. I went back and got the pitcher of beer and started back over. One word slipped from Mack's mind into mine. "Jail."

I almost dropped the drinks on the floor! I kept listening and I found out he was afraid of going to jail for draining vamps, like he was planning on doing to the new guy. Vampire blood is the hottest new drug out there, and it's almost as expensive as a pair of Jimmy Choos! I may not like vampires, but if he's planning on doing that in our parking lot, he's got another thing coming. I'll have to warn the vampire before he leaves. Uck, more conversation with the thing.

I got the burgers from Lafayette to bring to the Rats, but not only had they left, they hadn't paid for their drinks! Not even the vampires wine! With all the money from the vampi— Oh no! The parking lot!

"Jason!" I called to my brother sitting at the bar. "You still got that chain in your truck bed?"

"Yeah, why? Are going to need it?"

"Hopefully not." I said as I ran over to Sam to tell him I would be right back. He wasn't too happy about it, but we weren't busy enough to have him make me stay. I ran out to the parking lot to find out where they had gone. The Rats beat up Pinto was still parked in the lot, but I couldn't see them. I tried to find their minds, and I figured out they were at the tree line down on the other side of the lot. How they had tricked him over there, I could only imagine. Denise must be tempting, even for a wrinkly 50 year old.

I tried as hard as I could not to make too much noise on the crunchy gravel as I made my way over there. I get as close as I can without having my shadow peer over Mack's shoulder, and I see what's happening. The image of the vampire lying on the ground. Smoking skin covered with chains. Needles sticking out of him. Vials upon vials on the ground. I shriek and run.

Denise jumped up and tried to chase me, but she tripped over the vampire's leg. I run and run. I hear her stumbling behind me. I run another circle around Merlotte's, hoping to see if I can help the man. I see a dog pulling the chains off. Good; Denise was closing in on me anyways. I run around again, apparently Denise stopped chasing me and was helping Mack put the vampire in their car. I was almost back at their car to stop them when Mack started the engine and started edging the car towards me. I dashed for the trees, trying to get to safety. The taillights came at me. They almost reaching me, too, but there were a couple oaks in the way.

Scenes from my life were flashing in front of me as the car pulled away. Thank the Lord I had headed for the trees, otherwise I fear I wouldn't be here. What a night, meeting a vampire and then almost getting killed for trying to save the fucker. Wonderful.

A/N: So what did you guys think? I must say, your reviews gave me ideas, especially Perfecta999 - I didn't kill Bill per say though! Will he come back or not? What will happen with the Rats? Will Sookie still get enveloped in all the vampire drama? Read on, my lovelies!
