A/N: Four reasons I have not been updating… First has not been letting me upload my chapter. Second my self-esteem has been shot recently… Not sure if it is because everyone in my family has been trying to set me up with people or just my normal lack of self-esteem. Third I have had a lot of homework for my classes and I really need to make A's this semester. Fourth my father's wife recently left him so my sister and I have been trying to spend more time with him. I know these are just excuses, but I think they are valid excuses…

I woke up to find Eric gone. I was sure it had to be light soon so I began to worry. I got up and found a red silky bathrobe on a chair near the bed to put on.

When I got to the door I noticed the hall light was on, but when I walked down the hall there was no one around. I started heading back to the room when I heard whispered voices from the library.

"I want to see Sookie!" I could not really hear the voice very well, but for some reason I was sure it was Bill.

"Why should I let you?" Eric said in a muffled tone

"Because she deserves to know the truth."

"She has heard enough truth from you, William!"

"You will deny her it then?"

"No I will tell her what she needs to know in due time, but not your warped version of the truth."

I could hear nothing, but grumbled voices after this. I needed to hear the end of it all. I noticed the door was not fully closed so I pushed it open just enough for me to peek through.

The door had not creaked when I opened it so I was thankful for that, but when I found the two men arguing Bill's eyes narrowed on mine and smiled.

"Sookie has a right to know that you would have never even come for her if it wasn't for me." Bill said while the entire time he left his eyes boring into mine and that smile, that sickening smile across his lips.

However, what if what he had said was true? What if Eric did only come for me because of Bill? Could it possibly be that Eric was just using me like Bill had been?

I was not going to wait and find out. Even though I had loved Eric before I found out about the real Bill it still crushed me and if it had not been for Eric I would not have survived.

I pushed open the door so Eric could see and before I let him say a single word I ran off. Not back to the bedroom, but out of his house. It was nearly daylight so neither of them would be able to come after me until tonight.

This was the second time that I felt that I needed to be free from the people I was surrounded by. Maybe vampires were not as good natured as I saw them as, maybe they truly the bloodsuckers everyone claimed they were.

The sun was just rising now and I could not walk any longer. The heat was already getting to me not to mention I had not eaten any real food since before those men took me from Merlotte's. What I would not give to be there right now instead of sitting on the side of the road in a bathrobe. I was just thankful no one had passed by.

I finally got back up about an hour later and started heading back towards Bon Temps. My legs still hurt, but I did not want to still be on the side of the road when those vampires came after me. If they even would.

Cars started passing and I hoped none of them would notice, but every single one honked and yelled profanity at me as they passed. Yet another truck started driving towards Bon Temps and I prayed the person inside would not bother me. I was wrong though they stopped just a few feet in front of me.

Could it be the same men as before? No Eric had killed them, but maybe someone like them. I had never even found out what they wanted.

I stopped and started slowly backing away. I was not sure if I would be able to run, but I had to try.

I could tell it was a man now and he was doing something in his truck then reached for the door handle. Maybe I could just scream, but what good would that do, no one was around.

The man got out and took a second before he turned my way.

"SAM!" it was the only time I had been this happy to see him in my entire life and I finally found that strength to run. I did right into his arms he had out stretched for me when he saw me heading for him.

"Sookie what are you doing out here?" he asked as he pulled a jacket out of his truck and put it around me. I was not cold, but it had more cover than the bathrobe.

"I…don't know." I cried into his shoulders and before I knew it he had lifted me up and put me in the passenger seat.
