Waking up groggily i drag myself downstairs "Lu honey you comin tonight to the Descendants of the Glorious Dead meeting? itll be one for the books with bill as our guest of honor" gran was practically bouncing from excitement at the prospect of tonights meeting while bustling around the kitchen making pancakes
"I dont know gran i think imma sit this one out,too many people for my taste so i think ill hang out at home" i answer casually taking a bite of pancakes and gran nods is i dont like being in big crowds but thats not why im not going,tonight im getting kat and we're going to fangtasia,i need to see eric again,im not sure why just yet but ive learned to trust my gut through the years and right now its telling me to go to eric.
Finishing up the pancakes i clear my plate and go to leave but gran stops me "sit with me for a second lu its been a long time since we've had a chance to talk" i smile and sit back down "is there something in particular you wanna talk about? i ask and gran grabs my hand gently and brushes my hair back
"my beautiful little girl,sometimes i worry about you,being the youngest and all.I know things havent always been easy for you and that alot of the times you feel lost but remember,god has a plan for have strong and beautiful,loyal and kind change roads in life lead somewhere and honey,yours is heading somewhere special i just know sad yet joyful seeing you growing up but i know youre blossoming into an amazing young lady and hope you continue this way" she ends with watery eyes
"I dont know what to say except thankyou,sometimes i do worry but knowing i have you and sook and jason and kat makes everything allright and assures me i will be ok in the end,ill always try my best to make you proud gran"
"i know hun" hugging i give her a kiss on the cheek and head upstairs throwing myself onto my gran is right and my rroad is leading somewhere special,hopefully that road includes godric somewhere.I know nothing about him but theres a reason his image stuck out to me so vividly there has to thought alone strengthens my resolve to go see eric.
All of a sudden my eye sight starts to blur and i know a vision is coming image of my white ceiling turns into a room about the size of my bedroom,theres a coach,a table with a couple chairs,a mini fridge,a bed with simple blankets on and a book shelf with a seat next to it and sitting there reading an old leather bound book is godric.
Something seems off with the picture,godric looks at ease but in closer inspection i see that the heavy solid metal door is deadbolted and appears to only open from the of nowhere as if senscing my prescence he looks up straight at me and thats the last i see before the vision fades and im back in my is in some sort of trouble but nows not the right time to bring it up or tell anyone,gran says that everything happens in due time so i should just wait til the right time.
My phone starts to ring so i pick it up and the caller id is flashing alexanders as of an ex is the last person i wanna talk to so i ignore the call just to have him call again and again so i silence the phone and crawl in bed to take a nap awaiting the moment kat and i can leave to fangtasia
."WAKE UP!" I wake with a jump falling out of bed
"what the what?!"
"you never called me last night to tell me the details ive been calling all day and had to come all the way over here just to find you in lala land" kat rages shoving my cell at me and i look to see 15 missed calls from her and 20 texts
"oops" i say sheepishly while she looks unamused "i know how to make it up to you though,i had meant to call you earlier to tell you my plan but didnt expect to sleep this long" i say looking at the window to see the sun my eyes towards kat i see her features have changed and is now sitting expectantly which makes me chuckle
"you,me,fangtasia everyones at the church we'll sneak over night i met this thousand year old vamp named eric and i dont know what it is kat but when i touched him it all hit me like BAM! but one thing stuck and it was an image of a vamp named godric and now im like obsessed about finding him cause this morning i had a vision about him and eric is the key,so what do you say,feeling a little rebelious tonight?" i ask her with a smirk and raised eyebrow knowing shes always game to go on these little adventures with me.
"hells yeah im goin but tonight we gotta sex it up" she wiggles her eyebrows suggestively going to the back of my closet where kat and i both hide the clothes we dont want anyone else to see.A minute later a top is thrown at my head.I end up in black button and chain high waisted knicker shorts,a love lust crop top,black blazer and nude lace up platform ankle is in a tutu mini skirt,ripped leggings,leather jacket,yellow tunic and biker boots.
Everyone is heading to the church by the time we're down so we sneak into my old ford truck driving off."This is gonna beepicly awesome,so this godric he hot?"
i blush "hes cute in a lost boy kinda way i guess" shrugging to act like his looks dont affect me
"uh huh and i have a third boob i named barbarella,youre such a crap liar with me,makes me feel special,so the until this point non existent godric is off limits so what about the eric dude?"
"girl he is gorg,droolworthy really and hes got this whole broody mysterious vibe and eyes like pure makes you forget hes a cocky ass" i finish with a laugh and out of the corner of my eye see kats mischevious look
"a hot cocky ass,just my type,she flutters her lashes and sighs dramatically making us bust into a fit of i just turn up the radio and blast paralyzer by finger eleven singing along with it at the top of our lungs dancing in our as the song ends we pull up and i take out my fake id handing kat hers and she looks at me questioningly
"i bought it for you from lafayette yesterday"
"aww youre the bestest" gushes kat and we finally get to where pam is
"you again,where is the little chit and her boy toy?"
"hell if i know" she smirks at my response and hands back our ids
"i like you kid go on in just dont drink"
"got it" getting the go ahead we enter cautiously trying not to catch any unwanted attention but eric spots us immediately and beckons us looks at him dreamily and i just scoff pulling her along until we're standing directly in front of him and he dismisses the others around.
"What brings you here again?" he asks lowly
"i wanted to see you"
"oh how cute you got a little crush on lil ole me"
"not quite sheriff i just think theres a reason i need to know you so that brought me is kat by the way"
"interesting" states eric practically ignoring kat which doesnt go over well with her
"hello im not chopped liver here" she exclaims
"you might as well be" he states harshly and kat goes to leave indignant but i stop her before she can
"if im good enough for you to talk to so is she now i think we have something to discuss"
"what would that be?"
"im gonna give you my number,itll only be a matter of time before you need me or my sister because of our...well gifts" any emotion carefully masked making him hard to read so i write my number down and hand it to him turning and walking away with kat
"you were so right except the hotness so does not make up for the cocky assness" she huphs and i turn to see eric smirk knowing he heard it loud and clear which gives me an idea "its only a matter of time until i discover if godric is the same" i say it just above a whisper wanting eric to pay close attention.I know ive succeeded when theres a rush of wind by me and eric appears in front of us looking like he could kill
"how do you know of him?"
"of who?" i ask feigning ignorance making him snarl and grab my arm leading me to a deserted back room with kat hot on our throws me down on a chair and leans down to get in my face
"tell me how you know of him"
"when i touched you last night i saw him then today i got a vision and he was in it" i answer truthfully.
He looks thoughtful "i guess you really will be useful,what else,what else did you see?"
"alot,too much,not enough" its the only way i can explain it without going into a long dialogue.
"i see,we'll keep in touch min kärlek" a second later he's gone and kat is looking at me wide eyed
"what?" i question
"do you know how long we've been here? we gotta go or we'll get caught sneaking back in"
"oh shit lets go" on our rush out i feel myself get grabbed roughly from behind
"hello darlin mmm you smell so good" realization hits me that its a vamp but weirdly enough i dont feel myself get scared or nervous just calm.
"Why thankyou cowboy but id appreciate it if youd let me go right now"
"i dont think you have much of a choice in the matter so why dont you just relax" he looks into my eyes trying to glamour me but before he can realize it doesnt work on me eric is by my side grabbing him by the neck
"something wrong sheriff?" he struggles to talk under erics grip
"yes there is,dont ever touch luna again,she is mine!" he says the last part loudly for all to hear and everyone stares at him in surprise especially kat and i,even eric seems a little shocked at his words but immediately his cold facade goes back up
"no one touches what is mine is that understood?" theres a chorus of agreements and eric gives me a look that says to shut up that we'll discuss it at another time and bends down to kiss my cheek and ushers me off leaving me dazed on my drive home with kat.
"What the flying monkey was that?!"
"i think he did me a favor"
"a favor my ass i think he wants him a little piece of luna" she teases and i let out a small laugh and shake my head
"its not that,i feel it and i know he does are connected somehow and that makes him unknowingly feel protective of me but not in a jealous boyfriend sort of hard to explain but i know he did it to protect me,nothing else"
"maybe he does have a heart then,a cold non beating one but a heart nontheless" i laugh at her sillines and turn off the headlights as we approach the the engine off we hurry up to my room and change in lightning speed into a tshirt and sweatshorts jumping in bed and turning on the tv,silently agreeing that kat will sleep over i doze off but just as im about to drift off a vision hits me,
just a fragment of one really and i realize its a memory,erics memory of being turned but i cant hear whats going on and it flashes to quickly to catch the details but one thing is certain,that was why eric reacted that is the vampire that made the last thought i have before sleep claims me.
Waking up i walk downstairs to see gran eating a slice of peecan pie "oh gran that looks so good"
"yeah gran looks great" kat agrees startling me since i had completely forgotten she stayed to the table she sits and cuts us both a slice and i cover it with plastic wrap putting it in the fridge then sitting down to eat
"so how was the vamp bar last night?" gran asks casually making us choke
"im not sure what youre reffering to gran"
"yeah we're good we wouldnt go to no vamp bar psssh please" kat backs me up,a little too much,stuffin pie into her mouth afterward
"now girls,im old not dead im aware you werent there last night at the meeting and notice the fresh tire marks when i got in.I know youre both smart girls and even more i know my grandaughter and i saw it in your eyes,there was something there you had to do and i understand so no need to lie im just glad yall got home safe and sad" gran smiles at us giving kat and i each a kiss on the forehead before turning to leave the house to go grocery shopping,kat and i look at eachother letting out a collective sigh.
"So what should we do today?"
"umm well theres not much to do except go swim at the lake or go hang out at merlottes"
"lake it is then" in a matter of minutes we're in our bikinis,mine red,kats black and shorts with tanktops on top,clad in flip flops we walk down to the lake."You ever wondered what it would be like if we lived in a bigger town?" muses kat
"ive thought about it i think we're meant to go places but for now im happy here in Bon Temps i wanna enjoy the time we have here cause i doubt we'll ever get a moment to just live this quiet and peacefully again,except for the murders ofcourse"
"I think andy is a dumbass for thinking jason did it,i mean seriously hes like a big horny puppy" hearing her say that makes me laugh which makes her true though thats the most accurate discription of my big bro i could think of
."I think itll be like one of those really good thrillers" i state out of nowhere
"what the hell are you talking about?"
"you know what i mean kat its like in that movie mindhunters where the real killer was the person you least expected it to be"
"ooooh right yeah that was a good movie though too bad that dude ended up being the psycho killer cause he was cute"
"youre such an idiot kat" i say with a laugh and we put our stuff down stripping down to our bathing suits we jump in the lake and swim around for a while lazily,just relaxing and soaking in the sun when i hear a splash from not too far away then to the surface are renee and hoyt so we splash them
"are you guys insane? you scared me" i state with one last splash
"we're sorry lu its just so hot out we saw yall here and decided it looked good" renee apologizes with his thick accent
"its ok shes just got her panties in a bunch,killer roaming around and shit" says kat and i roll my eyes
"you dont gotta worry bout that lu,who would wanna kill someone as sweet as you" blushes hoyt and i smile "awww thats so nice of you to say hoyt" i hug him and he hold onto me as we stay next to eachother
"plus it looks like hes just goin after fangbangers speakin of which sook should really be careful dating bill and all,no offence intended ofcourse"
"i wasnt offended renee dont worry"
"i was,hell last night lu and i went to a vamp bar i dont know why humans being with vamps is such a big deal its no ones damn business if they are" defends kat looking slightly angry.
"you did?" questions renee with a raised eyebrow making me roll my eyes and bringing a string of excited questions from hoyt asking how it was and if i saw anyone get bit "calm your horses,i didnt go for sex or to get bit if thats what you think,i had gone with bill and sook the night before to see if i could use my gift to clear jasons name for good but there was a police raid so yesterday when everyone was at the church i dragged kat there to see what we could find out"
"find anything?" asks renee while hoyt loks at me expectantly
"just that they had been there and that one of the vamps there had fed on one of them but then a vamp grabbed me and tried to bite me so we ran off and came home,nothing big i was hoping tofind more out but didnt have much luck" shrugging i give kat a subtle look telling her not to let anyone know what happened with eric
"it must have been so cool and electrifying" gushed hoyt
"im glad you got out okay and didnt let yourself get bit,you need to stay safe" warns renee and they say their goodbyes before leaving kat and i alone
"so the whole eric thing is a secret?" she confirms "completely"
Cuple hours later we're heading back to the house when alexander pulls up by us making me groan out loud
"hey lu,hey kat"
"hey asshole" scowls kat making me smile inwardly
"what do you want alex?"
"ive been trying to call and text you,ive missed you lu so bad,you dont know how much i regret cheating on you if i could take it all back i would in a heartbeat i swear please give me another chance" he pleads
"ive given you too many as is theres no other chance" he looks defeated
"atleast lets try to be friends look theres this big cookout starting in a few minutes,yall can come,hop in ill give you a lift" kat and i look at eachother and shrug climbing into his pick not like we have anything better to do.I can feel alexanders eyes on me making me feel uncomfortable and fidget in my seat,i thank god when we arrive and practically flee from the truck.
Looking around we're in someones full to the brim with people messing around,a bonfire in the middle and the barbeque working music filling the air and looking closer at the people i see theyre mostly from school and dread fills me looking at kat her expression matches 're known as freaks and outcasts the only reason a get a break sometimes is cause guys find me 'hot' the stupidity of the teenage mind is overwhelming.
"you know being teased and humiliated at school is one thing,enduring it on my free time would be person to say anything will either get punched out or ill storm with me?" asks kat "100%".With our agreement in place we try to blend in,getting some drinks that were obviously spiked loosens us up soon kat and i are dancing getting cheered on by the crowd.
Im a little more than tipsy but its dulled my gifts which is a relief,being on all the time takes so much work,feeling even slightly normal has put me on a high i feel so light and free that i dont give it much thought when alex grabs my hand and steers me into the woods to a secluded now its well into the night and pitch black so i can hardly see my hand in front of my face which makes me we come to a stop and alex stands right in front of me,too close for comfort but my mind is in too much of a haze to realize it
"you look so good lu,i really have missed you,youre so different now"
"what do you mean different im still me" i reply slightly slurring my words
"no i mean i always wanted you to loosen up like now,be more fun live a little thats what broke us up"
"no,what broke us up is that you wanted to get in my pants and i wasnt ready so you got into someone elses" the anger fueled by his words bringing some clarity into my drunken mind
"does it matter now? i know you want me and i still want that youve learned to have some fun i can show you what youd been missing out on" he says huskily starting to grope me and all trace of drunkeness is gone as i try to pull back
"alex im still me so theres no way in hell im fucking you,not now,not ever" i practically growl pulling away which makes him grab me harder
"you know you want it" he whispers before kissing me roughly,i bite his lip making him yelp and release me.I take off un a run trying to get back to the party where ill be safe around has always been an agressive drunk and tends to do things and then not regret them.I start to panic as i hear his footsteps gaining on me and his voice yelling for me,Next thing i know hes tackled me to the ground,i scream in a mix of pain and fear.
Dragging me by my ankle to him i try kickin him away but its no turns me onto my back and rams my head into the ground right when hes about to slap me i feel him get ripped away from world begins to blur,touching the back of my head i feel something wet and instinctively know its blood.
Too weak to protest when i get picked up i drift in and out of about a minute i feel something pressing against my lips and someone urging me to drink so i do as im told after a few gulps i open my eyes and see eric looking down at me while i i pull away and wipe my mouth
"what the hell happened?"
"Some boy got a little overenthusiastic,i sensed you and got there in time then brought you back here,kat is fine,i sent pam to tell her what happened and bring her here with a spare change of clothes for you,are you feeling allright?"
"the almighty eric is worried about insignificant lil me?" i ask sarcastically but automatically feel guilty seeing as he saved me "im sorry i didnt mean it like that,im feeling fine and thankyou so much for being there" i get up and hug him,he stiffens before hugging back
"what is it about you?" he asks absent mindedly
"only god knows i guess" i shrug grabbing the change of clothes and going to change coming out in pyjamas i see eric waiting
"kat is just outside she'll take you home"
"okay thanks again" i walk to the car kat is in and get in.
"are you ok? what the fuck is wrong with alex?! i swear i wanna cut his balls off" kat fumes and i just laugh "im ok kat lets just get up into my house i see police cars and dread fills out of the car and inside ignoring the protests i see the blood soaked floor and sookie in tears and know my gran is no longer with us.
The realization hits hard and i crumble to the floor,the news too much to handle so i let the darkness consume me finding comfort in it.
