Chapter Three - The Interview – Part A:

Bella's POV

I arrived at the bar with twenty minutes to spare. I was shown in by a very large and burly guy. I realized when I showed up, that the sign outside had fangs on it. I was starting to wonder if this place had real vampires in it. I knew that they were out in the open now, but I had never met any vampires other than the Cullens and the nomads that tried to kill me. It had been five years since I ran into any vampires at all. The skin on the back of my neck had goosebumps. Yep, there were real vampires here.

I had to decide right now if I wanted this. I guess running from the supernatural forever isn't being realistic. This job was important to me, so I would accept the presence of vampires in my life if I had to. What am I saying? I haven't even gotten the job yet. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

The big burly guy led me to a hallway where there were about thirteen other girls waiting. I found an empty seat and waited. Finally, after about ten minutes, the girls started getting called in. About forty five minutes later, a tall blond woman called my name, "Isabella Swan?" I followed the woman into the office and sat in the chair opposite her. There was another woman with blond hair also. She was sitting next to her at the conference table. She was looking at me with a curious look on her face.

"Hi, my name is Sookie. You're Isabella?" she asked, while reaching her hand out to me.

"Hi Sookie, just call me Bella," I said, while shaking her hand.

"Oh, and this is Pamela. She's the manager here," Sookie introduced me to the other blond lady. She was looking at me with a look that I recognized. It was a look of hunger. Her eyes were black and her fangs were down. I heard a growl start to erupt from her. Oh, shit! Pamela is a vampire, and she wants me for dinner!

"Pam! Oh, no! PAM! Snap out of it! NOW!" Sookie was yelling at her and waving her hands in front of her face. Pam shook her head and stopped breathing. She was visibly shaken. Her hands were gripping the table like a vice. I could hear the wood start to give where she was gripping it. "What the hell, Pam? What was that all about?" Sookie asked, staring into her eyes from inches away.

"I... I umm...Sookie?...Will you excuse me for a moment? You can continue with the interview. I'm very sorry Isabella, I don't know what came over me." And with that, she left the room.

"I'm sorry, if this is a bad time, I can come back," I said, hoping she wouldn't send me away.

"Oh, no. It's alright. I don't know what came over her," Sookie said.

"I do. I've seen that reaction before. My blood calls to her," I sighed. I wondered if they wouldn't hire me now. Surely they wouldn't let me work here after that.

"I'm sure Pam will be fine. She's one of the strongest vampires I know. If I know her, she will get herself together and be back before you know it," Sookie said in a cheerful tone. "By the way, are you full human?"

"Last time I checked I was. Why?" I asked; my curiosity was peaked now. Why would she think I wasn't human?

"Well, normally a human won't create that kind of response in a vampire. Usually, if you are of fae descent, your blood will be more appealing to a vampire. The same goes for some other types of supes. For example, my boyfriends friend Edmund is a vampire, and he met this girl and became intoxicated with her blood. She turned out to be a witch and part brownie. Also, I can usually tell if someone is a supe, and honey you have got to be one." She was adamant about it. I didn't know what to tell her.

"Well, as far as I know, both my parents are human. Why would you think I'm a supe? And what is a supe?" That was a term I was not familiar with.

"Well, supe is short for supernatural being. There are more than just vampires and were-animals out there. There are witches and fae, demons and elves, and much more. Of course I haven't met too many, but I know people who have. I myself am mostly human and part fae. Fairy to be exact. I'm also telepathic. I can hear humans as clear as a bell, mostly feelings and some thoughts from weres, but absolutely nothing from the fae and vampires. And you, my dear Bella, I cannot hear a peep of your thoughts."

"Wow, I don't know what to say. I had a boyfriend once that was a vampire and telepathic; he couldn't hear me either," I said, feeling sad for the loss of my love. I better snap out of it. I was doing so great. All the vampire and supe talk was bringing up memories.

"Really? A telepathic vampire? Wow, I haven't met a telepathic vampire. You think I could meet him?" she inquired.

"Sure, if you can find him. I don't know where he lives, and I haven't seen him or his family in five years."

"Family? You mean coven, right?" She asked me.

"No, they're a family. All seven of them." I said, I really didn't want to go into more detail.

"Oh. Okay, sorry. I didn't mean to pry. Anyway, let's get on with the interview. So you don't have any waitress experience. What makes you the right person for the job?" she asked. Here goes nothing.

"I'm a hard worker, I'm in school so the hours work perfect for me and my school won't conflict with work hours. I can go to school during the day and work here during the evening business hours. I'm okay being around other supes and I'm not afraid of vampires or werewolves. My best friend is a werewolf, he lives in Washington, where I came from. Actually, I'm a friend of the pack, the Quileute Pack in La Push, Washington. I really need this job to be able to live here and go to school. I promise I will be professional and on time. I won't cause trouble and I'll do a good job." I couldn't believe I just said all of that. I hoped they'd hire me.

"So, Isabella is it?" Pamela had entered the room and had been listening to our conversation. She looked so much better now. She had a stern look on her face. "Isabella, you say that you are fully human, yet your blood smells almost as intoxicating as a fairy. And Sookie here can't here your thoughts. How do we know you aren't lying to us? You seem to know about vampires and werewolves. Explain to me how your thoughts are silent to Sookie?" She was looking at me with an angry look now.

"I can't explain it. My brain is flawed or something. I remember my Junior year in high school when I met Edward, he's my ex-vampire boyfriend, when I entered the room during biology class on my first day, it was like he wanted to kill me. I found out later that he did want to kill me. He wanted to drain me dry. My blood called to him that strongly. Ultimately, it was the fact that he couldn't hear my thoughts that fascinated him. He pursued me after that, not to drink my blood, but to learn who I was. There was never anyone else he couldn't hear. His father, Carlisle, speculated that I might be a mental shield. If I were to develop it, I might be able to expand it. I've never had any reason or interest in doing that. I'm not some kind of spy, and as far as I know Edward and you are the only two vampires that have reacted to me that way. I'm sorry." My head was down and I had tears running down my face. This interview was not going the way I wanted. I looked up and Pam had a thoughtful look on her face. She whispered something to Sookie and then Sookie left the room.

"Isabella, if we hire you, you would be required to donate blood at least once a week. We require our girls to voluntarily donate to the vampires that work here and sometimes for visiting vampires. Thank you for coming to this interview. You and four other girls will interview with the owner of the bar next. You may wait outside." Then she smiled at me and got up to escort me to the door. Geez. I would have to what? When she says donate, what does that entail? Wouldn't their venom change me if I was bitten? I don't know, they seemed different from the vampires I knew. I noticed fangs on Pam, I've never seen fangs on other vampires. I hoped that the owner was nice. I sat outside and waited for my name to be called.

Sookie's POV

Pam whispered in my ear that she thought Eric would hire Bella, and to go and tell him personally what we discovered about her. I don't usually report to Eric unless there's something that I found in their thoughts. I guess not being able to read her thoughts was just as important.

I couldn't believe she's only human; Pam said she was trying to glamor her and was unsuccessful. That was another sign that she wasn't all human. I couldn't believe how I just opened up to her like I did. I usually don't open up to people like that right away, but I felt drawn to her and so at ease. I wanted to know everything about her and be friends with her. I found it strange that I felt that way. I didn't know her well enough to feel like that. But I felt like I'd known her all my life. How strange.

I knocked on Eric's door. I hope he hires her, because I like her and I want to know what's up with this Bella girl. She has to be a supe, I just have a feeling.
