Yeah Season two of True Blood starts in New Zealand next week (though I have seen the juicy bits on youtube already). Happy Birthday Alexander Skarsgard and congrats to Kiwi girl Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. All hail the black singlet!

Chapter 6

The cavalcade of cars came to a halt along Hummingbird Road. The leading car, a black Cadillac, turned in and followed the driveway up to the front porch. Doors slammed in the darkness as the passenger exited the Cadillac. He stood up and straightened his crumpled suit. The man walked to the porch and quickly mounted the steps. He peered in the curtained windows of the dark house. He then reached into his jacket pocket and retrieved his cell phone. He hit one button and it began to ring. A male voice answered.

"Victor"

"My King. Are you well?"

"You tell me. Have they fled?"

"Yes"

"By land?"

"By air"

"Place a bounty on the sheriffs head. Ten million should do."

"And the telepath?"

"I want her brought to me. Breathing"

"The sheriffs people?"

"Flush them out and execute them"

"Understood, my King." He closes his phone. Victor returns to his vehicle and tells his driver to head to Shreveport.

Under the porch, a mouse twitched it's nose as it listened intently before scurrying further under the house foundations. After the last of the cars had turned around and headed back the way they came, the mouse ran out into the open. Air, dirt and dust swirled around the tiny creature like a twister until finally it settled, leaving a very naked Sam Merlotte standing alone amidst Sookies hydrangea bushes. He moved swiftly to a nearby tree where he retrieved his clothes and cell phone. He grabbed the phone and punched in a number.

"Yes?"said a female with a curt English accent

"You were right"

"Then we have more to fear than initially thought." she said

"How will he keep her safe?"

"Where there is my Masters will, there is a way." said Pam as she ended the call

Sam looked down at the phone in his hand and sighed.

Meanwhile in Nevada

"Sandy, contact the King of the Carolinas. Inform him that a rogue vampire has stolen from something from me and fled to his territory. Then prepare my rooms. We will soon have a new addition to our ranks.
