A/N: Apparently, my Harry Potter fan fiction is branded as bad writing on a forum, in my Final Fantasy fan fiction, my Tifa has no dignity, and for my True Blood fan fiction, my Sookie is even more idiotic than the one in the show or books… Ouch huh? Hate to see what people think about my baby, Earth Gods. Anyway, I am not going to let three small people get to me because I write these for not only myself, but for the many people out there who love my fan fictions. To whom ever has ever wrote a review praising my work y'all are amazing and I will keep writing for each of y'all until your heart's content. In addition, I would like to thank everyone for his or her kind words after my last Author's Note. It makes writing for y'all all that much more enjoyable.

Song of the Moment: Fireflies by- Owl City (You cannot help, but love the lyrics to this song)

Disclaimer: I do not own True Blood or the Sookie Stackhouse novels…

I was running away again and I hated myself for it. I was not even sure what was going on around me now, but I needed to face my problems head on… well at least some of my problems.

I parked my car in front of the house to only soon realize that someone was sitting on the steps.

"Tara what are you doing here?"

"I came to check on you Sook."

Sam must have called her…

"That's great. I haven't seen you in a while anyway."

I unlocked my door and held it open for Tara to walk in. She did and went straight to the kitchen where we often found ourselves in the past… when Gran was still alive.

Tara sat down as I rummaged through the fridge to find something not past its expiration date to serve. I had not even realized how much time I had been really spending with Eric recently until just this moment.

"Sorry… I don't have anything here."

"That's fine. I didn't come here to be fed anyway." This reminded me I had no food here either.

I sat down across from Tara without saying a word. I kept my eyes on my hands while Tara kept a side-glance towards me. I was grateful for her not just blurting out what she wanted to know. She knew I did not need that right now.

"Sook what has been going on with you recently?"

"I don't know what you are talking about." I said as I got up and started pacing around the room looking for something, anything to do.

"This is me Sookie. Talk to me. I am here for you I always have been even if recently we have had some difficulties."

"Tara I appreciate you help, but this is really something I need to work out for myself. I didn't handle things the way I should have, but hopefully I won't make the same mistakes again."

I could tell from Tara's eyes she was hurt and just a tad bit angry with me, but I hoped she would understand. I could not always rely on other people to fix my own problems, as I did with Sam.

It was silent for a moment before Tara nodded and got up from the chair she had been sitting at, I did the same.

"Well I should go; Sam needs help at the bar."

I followed Tara to the door and right before she walked through she turned around. I knew she wanted to say something, but I guess she did not know what to say exactly because she smiled and nodded once more then left.

Finally time alone. I loved Tara almost like a sister, but there were some things I just could not confide in her.

I went upstairs and shed my clothes as I walked towards the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom all I had were my panties on and I shed, those too as I turned on the hot water and threw in a couple of bath beads. Was never quite sure what they did, but I thought now was the perfect time to try them out.

I twirled my hair up into a bun and let a few strands fall down as I stepped into the steaming tub. The water felt nice against my chilled skin and the fizz coming from the bath beads tickled my legs. I leaned back and let the steam finally get the best of me as I slowly let my eyes fall.

The dream that washed over me was the best one I had, had in awhile. I was laying in a field of flowers that smelled more like citrus than any kind of flower I had ever smelled. I watched the clouds pass by in various shapes and as the sun tried to fight against them to shine brighter and bring the heat that was now fading. I closed my eyes once again, but soon after a cold chill caressed my cheek and I heard the sweetest voice say, "Sookie, my love." my eyes shot open, but I wasn't in the flowery field anymore, I was in my bathroom. It saddened me at first until I saw him sitting on the ground next to me with his head in his hands.

"Eric?"

He looked up at me, but there was no smile across his lips as I often saw, there were only tears. His bloody tears streamed down his face and dripped down to my white rug leaving a stain I was sure never to get out.

He only stared at me briefly before he shed his own clothes and stepped into the now icy cold bath. I let some of the water out and turned the hot water back on as Eric maneuvered so he was now sitting behind me.

I still had a ton of questions, but for right now, this silence was fine. I knew I was not going to find comfort from anywhere else, but his arms and that is exactly what I did. I curled up into his arms as he wrapped his arms tightly around my bare skin and before long I fell fast asleep.

This time the flowery field shone much brighter than before and instead of the citrus smell it was Eric's sweet delicate smell that I always loved.

A/N: I know, I know it has been so long that you have to read a couple of the past chapters, but I am doing the best I can. Anyway, please review… Love you all!
