Chapter 2
"Hello! Someone, I need some help!" Cailen screamed as she ran into the ER, the guy had lost a lot of blood, but she was sure the hospital could save him. Some nurses were already running towards them with a stretcher she lay him on it swiftly making sure not to hurt him.
"Miss what happened?" one of the nurses asked her hurriedly, Maggie said the name on the nametag. Maggie had black hair which she wore tied back in a tight knot on the back of her head. Worry for her patients showed through her kind brown eyes, she was probably in her late thirties, looking a little worn for wear she probably had a long night already.
Cailen hesitated a moment but then straightened up, she looked the nurse in the eyes and made sure she believed her. Pam and the blonde guy probably don't want people to know it happened at their bar Cailen reasoned
"I found him like this on the side of the road, I don't know what happened" Cailen quickly improvised. The nurse nodded and sped him in an OR while calling for several bags of blood. Cailen saw her shot clean and quickly excited the hospital finding her way back to Fangtasia.
She stood out in front of the door for a minute, taking in her appearance, she was covered in blood, her dress had rips all over and she felt some pieces of glass that hadn't made it out of her skin yet. She took a step forward and knocked on the door. The door was ripped open and Cailen almost stumbled inside when she felt a hand close around her neck, effectively cutting of her oxygen supply. She gasped for air, she was used to breathing, she didn't have to but she liked it, she preferred everything that made her look at least a little bit more normal. She opened her eyes, this was not exactly the welcome she had expected, not that she really knew what to expect. It was the tall blonde guy Pam had looked at earlier who was holding her by her throat. Cailen looked up in shook as she caught his scent he smells so much of him her eyes widened as she looked at him angrily.
Cailen put her hand over his hand trying to pry his hand of, there was no electrical spark or something, but it did feel weird. Their eyes remained locked on each others, they didn't blink or breath until Cailen was sick of it and with a burst of energy she shot her hands in front of her, effectively knocking the big blonde guy back across the room. Cailen fell to her knees but quickly stood up, she cracked her knuckles as she walked towards the guy who was looking at her astonished.
She stood next to him as she offered him her hand and a small smile.
"I'm Cailen, I promised Pam I'd come back to talk, well explain a couple of things" Cailen shrugged her shoulders as she pulled him up, he was tall but so was she so in the end he only stood a head taller than her.
"Eric Northman, Sheriff of area 5" at this information Cailen was very happy, a sheriff had to be able to help her right?
"You smell like someone I know" Cailen told him "I've been looking for him some time now, I was hoping maybe you know where he is. He is a sheriff too."
He raised an eyebrow, "if a sheriff had been missing I would know" he said harshly dismissing her without a second thought. Cailen was mad now, how dare he just dismiss her. She felt anger surging through her body. She hated the fact that emotions could always control her powers so much, she had to calm herself down before something happened she'd regret.
"Where's Pam? I owe her an explanation" Cailen muttered, her voice laced with anger.
"She's in my office, and as sheriff of this area I will hear this explanation as well, you destroyed my wall, sent my progeny in a shock and saved some guy apparently" he was looking over her from head to toe for the first time, he found it difficult to believe she could've thrown that woman straight through a wall. He led them to his office where Pam was waiting impatiently.
Eric immediately sat himself behind his desk, pointing for Cailen to sit in a chair next to Pam across from his desk. Cailen nodded at him and turned to Pam. She looked a bit shocked still but calm though, that was a good sign. Please don't freak out Cailen thought.
"Pam? Ehm, are you alright?" Cailen whispered as she squeezed Pam's hand lightly, Pam turned her head as she took a good look at Cailen, she didn't understand, she was sure she had heard her heart beating when they were dancing.
"What are you?" Pam asked her looking at her intently, Eric looked surprised at the question, definitely hadn't expected that, probably hadn't been listening that well and missed the sound of her beating heart. Cailen smiled at Pam as she took a deep breath and sat back in her chair, her eyes focused on her knees.
"I don't know exactly" Cailen whispered softly
"you already heard my beating heart" Cailen sighed "and you've seen my fangs" I looked up at Eric now, curious to his reaction.
"Beating heart?" he stumbled "That's ridiculous" Cailen gave him a sad smile and stood up, walking over to him she took his hand and placed in on her chest, right over her heart. He felt it then, heard it now too, it was slower and softer than normal but still there. He looked at her with an incredulous expression on his face. Well his very handsome face Cailen concluded.
"I don't know much about my heritage, I've never known my parents" Cailen continued as she sat back down again, her eyes once more focused on her feet rather than looking at them, only one person in the world knew of her past, and he was missing, she was desperate to find him. Even if that meant having to tell more people about her.
"My father left my mother when he found out she was pregnant, my mother died giving birth. I lived with my grandparents till I was eleven, they took good care of me, homeschooled me. They told me a couple of minor things about my parents, I just don't know what to believe. " a tear escaped her eyes as she thought about her late grandparents.
"well what did they tell you then" Eric prodded impatiently, Pam gave her hand a little encouraging squeeze and Cailen continued.
"They told me my mother was a witch, and my father a vampire" Cailen blurted out scratching her head, not knowing of an easier way to bring it.
Eric and Pam started laughing, Cailen expected a response like this, didn't make it less degrading though, she stood up annoyed and placed her hands on the desk in front of her.
"I don't care if you believe me or not, I only want to know if you've seen my friend" she hissed angrily
"what friend?" Pam asked before Eric could respond, Cailen was breathing heavily, fatigue was setting in fast, she knew it wasn't smart to let her emotions rule her again, it was eating at her control again.
"Cailen seems to think a friend of her, another sheriff actually, is missing. However if that were the case I would have known, he or she is probably avoiding you. Get over it." Eric laughed disdainfully.
Cailen closed her eyes as she felt like she was losing control, she clenched her fist as her arms were shaking, a surge of anger shot through her. She couldn't control the energy going through her anymore and the bookcase behind Eric exploded. Blood was trickling down her nose from exertion as she let herself fall down in her chair again trying to calm herself down.
"Please don't anger me" Cailen whispered, her eyes remained closed as she kept clenching and unclenching her fists.
"My friend is missing, I don't know if he wants to be found. I think he wants to meet the sun, I can't let that happen. Take some time think about it. Now, do you know of a hotel or something nearby?" Cailen was relatively calm again and wiped the blood from her face before looking at Eric and Pam. Pam mostly looked shocked, Eric seemed more intrigued than anything though.
"You can stay at my place" Eric offered before Pam even had time to react. Cailen opened her mouth but the look on his face told her he wouldn't budge on the subject.
"Fine, one night only, if you can't help me with my search I'll be leaving tomorrow night." He nodded accepting what Cailen said, he looked at Pam and asked Cailen to wait outside for a minute.
