Folded Time Chap 2 Reality Check

Lady Sirona 11/3/2014

Sookie rubbed her sore shoulders as she walked out behind Merlotte's. She had worked 16.5 hours, didn't get lunch or dinner and she was exhausted. She was seriously regretting she told Bill Compton she would meet him. She knew she wanted to get him to talk to Gran but part of her felt he was creepy. He seemed a man out of time, but he had done some things and said somethings which led her to believe he might not be a nice man. What did she know of vampires? It was only the last couple of years that they had the synthetic blood. He had been a vampire since the 1800's, how many humans has he killed? She shivered as the cold wind cut through her.

*What the hell are these crazy Rattrays doing now behind Merlotte's?* the thought cut into her introspection. Her head came up and she cast her telepathy in a wide net to follow up. She sensed three people, two seemed to have their minds wrapped in cotton, not really thinking… the third was a behind them and was curious as to what the other two were doing. She had a horrible feeling that something was wrong. She tried to feel the void of Bill, but she felt nothing.

She was knocked down and a blow landed on her shoulder knocking the wind out of her. She was simultaneously being kicked repeatedly in the abdomen and back while another was punching her in the face she tried to curl up to protect her face and head but this just made the kicking to her back worse. There was something striking her like a bat she couldn't see who was attacking. She was too busy trying to protect her head and face. Terrified she thought they were going to kill her.

"What the hell are you doing?" another voice yelled and she felt one of her attackers being pulled away. "Are you all fuckin' crazy? Merlotte is just on the other side of the building!" The man yelling wasn't getting a reply form her attackers.

Sookie groaned and whimpered. She could feel her ribs were broken, it hurt when she breathed and when she coughed blood came out of her mouth. *I am going to die here in the dirt*

Suddenly there was a whooshing sound and she heard her attackers be pulled away from her and it sounded like they had been thrown. She glanced up to see Bill driving the Rattrays away. Sookie tried to speak but she couldn't get enough air, she felt like she was suffocation. She heard the three people withdraw.

She found herself in Bill's arms and she looked up at her savior. Why had he been late? She tried to say something but all that came out was a low groan.

"What the hell?" she heard Sam yell. She glanced at him; he was in in pajama bottoms only. "Get away from her vamp; I will call the police and ambulance for her!" Sam started to come near but Bill stood up laying her down gently and in a blur of a moment, Sam was lying on the ground unconscious.

"I don't think so shifter, the girl is MINE" Bill growled at Sam's unconscious form. Bill returned to her picking her shoulders up. Sookie felt the broken bones in her ribcage and arm grind. She couldn't feel her feet. Bill dropped his fangs with a snapping sound and he bit into his own wrist putting the bleeding wrist to her mouth. Sookie tried to turn away but he held her head and forced the blood into her mouth. "Drink Sookeh, My blood will heal you. Drink a lot you are badly damaged."

Sookie drank as if her life depended on it. She remembered hearing that vampire blood could heal almost anything. As she drank she could feel her body healing. She could once again breath, and she could feel her legs. She reached up with what once was a broken arm and it moved freely. Bill turned her head and sank his fangs into her neck drinking from her. "What the hell?" she cried out and tried to push him away.

"Now, now Sookeh, we have exchanged blood and formed a first level tie. You are MINE I own you, body and soul, and you will do whatever I tell you to do. I don't know how you resisted my glamour, but you will not override a full blood bond. Wherever you go I can find you. You can't run. Anyone you try to get to interfere with my claim I will kill them. We have a first level bond, a mutual exchange. Tomorrow night we will exchange again. The third night it will be permanent."

Sookie just stared at him in shock. "If you think for one minute that I will go anywhere and do anything with you Bill Compton, you got another think coming…" her tirade was cut off by a slap to the face which knocked her to the ground.

"You will speak to me respectfully at all time. If you fail to I will punish you. You are MINE to do with as I see fit. You will serve me for blood and sex. If I see fit to lend you to a superior, you will do as you are bid. You have no rights, you have no will. You will do as I bid or you will regret it." He snarled at her his fangs down.

She sat on the ground holding her face where she had been struck. She could feel the bruise that had been starting, slowly healing. She averted her eyes wondering how on earth she could be rid of this nightmare.

"Do you understand?" he snarled

"Yes Sir" she meekly told him. She was not about to back talk and get another beating he so obviously was willing to give.

"Go home. I will call on you tomorrow evening. Dress well. I will be taking you out to dinner. A second bonding is an occasion. Do not fail me. Go to your home. Tell no one. If your family asks, we are dating. Run from me and I will hunt you down after killing your Gran, I will make it painful… and she will curse your name before she dies. Then I will hunt you down and make you regret your impertinence." He was looking down at her huddled on the grown with a superior air to him. "As far as this flea ridden town is concerned, we are dating… you will date me a reasonable time, then you will accept a ring of engagement, after a short engagement, we will marry. Your family will never know, nor will any of these rednecks in Bon Temps know you're my bonded or exactly what type of relationship we really have. We will then go back to the Queen's court in New Orleans where you will work for the queen at my bidding. You are MINE, and you will be my key, my little telepath, to gaining favor in court." Bill walked away leaving Sookie crumpled, bloodstained and torn in the dirt.

She realized she was in hell.
