Chapter 11:
Sookie I think once Eric, me and her are on the bus whilst Neyky drove us to the clearing where Sookie and I were to leave the rest of the group and go get Bill.
Yes? She thinks back and pretends to continue reading.
What are the repercussions if a vampire tasted a human's blood and then had the human drink his blood?
Zoey…you didn't…She thinks slowly and look up from her book.
I did…He said it was for the safety of the mission…
That conniving son of a bitch…He had your blood? I don't see any bite marks.
A bottle fell, well sort of…that's a long story but I will tell you later, anyway I cleaned it up and accidently got cut by a piece of glass and he licked the wound… He said it would heal quicker, which it did, but yeah…
She slams her book shut and glares at Eric, who is resting on the other couch, and his eyes snap open. "What?"
"Nothing," she and I both say a little too quickly and sharply.
He eyes us over carefully and shuts his eyes. "Fine, then keep it down."
So, what's going to happen to me?
You're going to have sex dreams about him, feel drawn to him, and he is going to be able to sense when you're in danger and your emotions.
Grreaaattt I think with a sigh.
"What are you two talking about?" Eric says, his eyes still closed.
"Girl stuff." Sookie says nonchalantly, opening her book back up and I nod.
"Why do I feel like that's not the truth?" His eyes opening and looking me over.
"Because you are paranoid," I say, heat filling my cheeks as I pull my mp3 player out of my pocket and begin listening to music.
"Zoey, you have too many tells."
"What?" I say sarcastically, "I can't hear you." I turn up the volume.
"You're immaturity level is amusing." I stick my tongue out at him and go back to listening to my music.

I give Neyky a hug before I leave, but she ruins the moment by putting fingers in my face and I end face-planting into Eric's chest whilst trying to escape my friends menacing fingers. I feel Eric's arms wrap around me before I can get away.
"I was hoping I could get a good-luck hug as well."
"See what you did, Neyky? Exploiting my fears is unintentionally pushing me into the arms of a vampire. Way to go." I say over my shoulder to Neyky, who is laughing, and I roll my eyes as she walks away. "Okay, you got your –"I get cut off by Eric's mouth on mine and I pull away. "Can we get this over with now?"
He sighs and removes his arms from around me, "Yes, please be careful."
"I will try." I say as Sookie walks up to me. "Ready?" I ask her.
"I suppose." She checks the ammo in her shot gun and I pull the pistol out from the waistband of my jeans.
"You might need this." Neyky says once she returns, a bottle of True Blood in her hand, "He might be easier to handle if he has some sustenance."
"Good thinking." Sookie says as she takes the bottle from my friend.
After some final farewells and good lucks, Sookie and I quietly make our way into the forest surrounding the vampire mansion in search of the building containing Bill. Everything was eerily quiet, except for the distant grunts and moans in the forest that made Sookie and me much more cautious of being silent. We finally make it to a clearing with a run down building.
This must be it, Sookie thinks and cautiously opens the door and clicks on her flashlight. The light illuminates the dark building showing a grimy tile floor and white walls that have dark brown stains and finger prints splattered across them.
Is that blood? I think with an incredulous look across my face as we make our way down the hallway.
It looks like it. It's giving me – her thoughts are cut off the sound of zombies shrieking and pounding on a door we passed. Jesus Christ Sheppard of Judea! She thinks as I think Holy shit! What the Fuck?! And we run down the hallway, picking a door to enter to see if Bill was in it. To our horror and lucky surprise, he was in it, but he was tied up with chains of silver, emaciated, and had patches of dried blood. Sookie and I rush over to him quickly to remove the silver. But that's where our luck ended. The door holding back the zombies bursts open and the undead creatures rush down the hallway to the room we are in. I think quickly and shut the door with my mind and look for things to barricade the door as Sookie unchains Bill and feeds him the True Blood.
"Guys," I say as I finish pushing a filing cabinet against the door, "We need to find an alternate way out of this building for obvious reasons and we need to do it fast. We have limited ammo, an army of zombies, and a vampire that has a vendetta against you two."
"A very pissed off vampire that has a vendetta against you two," A female voice snarls over the intercom, "especially since you ruined my plans." I can feel exhaustion start to creep into my mind combating the adrenaline coursing through my veins from the panic.
Finally, I find a door but once I grab the handle I gasp in pain because it is blistering hot. "Guys I found a door!" I yell as I pull my sleeve over my hand and open it. The smell of smoke instantly floods my nostrils causing me to choke as I fall to the ground. Get Bill out of here! I think to Sookie, who pulled her shirt over her face for a makeshift gas-mask and is pulling Bill towards the door as the zombies break down the barricade from the other door. I manage to pull myself together to pull myself to my feet and shoot a couple of zombies in the head by directing my bullets with my mind as Sookie and Bill make it out. After I kill a couple, I escape through the door, shut it and run down the hallway to catch up with Sookie and Bill. But then, Lorena appears in the doorway of our exit with a stake in her hand and attacks Sookie. I manage to toss the stake out her hand before in penetrates into Sookie's eye before I pass out from exhaustion and lack of oxygen.
