"Will talk about this later!" she said pointing in the boy's direction. "He's leaving, we have to catch him." She jerked up heading in his direction.
"Sookie, what to do you plan to do tackle him in a room full of vampires?" I said holding her wrist not letting her go any further.
"We can't just let him leave if he has information about my brother." She said trying to free her arm from my iron clad grip.
"I have no intention of letting him go my plan is just a little bit more subtle." I said rising and wrapping my arm tightly over her shoulders to keep her from sprinting away. I lead us quietly out of the club and opened the car door for her. This time she accepted easily, but let out a huge sigh as she sat down once again resting her head on the head rest. I started the car listening to the low hum of the motor; waiting for the target to pull out. "My plan is very simple were going to follow him to his place of residence. Where there will no vampires to interrupt our questioning and no witnesses."
"No witnesses? What do you plan to do?" She said looking at me with a shocked expression.
"Anything necessary to get what I want." She should see my true nature; that I cower to no one and take anything I want.
"You would take his life so easy?" she said searching my eyes.
"I have taken many lives just as easy." What could she except I was a thousand year old vampire there had been many casualties that had lost their lives for my greater good. Yet this seemed to repel her from me I noticed immediately her mood darken.
"What if I told you that I could find out anything you wanted without spilling a drop of blood." She said keeping her attention on her fidgeting hands.
"What are you Miss. Stackhouse?" I said this time searching her eyes.
"I am a telepath, I can read minds." She blurted out quickly returning her eyes back to her fidgeting hands.
"Can you read my mind?" Fearing what it may mean for her if she could.
"No, I can't read vampires minds just humans." I let out a breathe that I hadn't realized I had been holding. She was even more valuable to me now; there was no chance that I was letting her go now. I would have her, and she would be mine! Silence lingered between us uncomfortably as we watched the boy emerge from the darkness were he said goodbye to his vampire lover. He made his way to faded blue Chevy cavalier and pulled on to the main road. I followed him carefully trailing closely behind him but trying to remain conspicuous.
"I will make you a promise; if you can get all the information we need without any violence I will let him live." I said breaking the tension that remained in the car.
"If that's what you wish?" I added knowing that she might fell different when she heard what the boy had to say. She remained silent, staring blankly out of the window unsure of my words. The boy guided his car into a crumbling apartment complex that looked as if it was a century old. I waited until he rounded the corner before I motioned for Sookie and I exit the car. We hugged the outside of the wall glancing around the corner to see what door he entered.
"Go be a damsel in distress." I said motioning my head towards the door.
"What? Why don't you do it you're the big bad vampire?" She said appalled at the notion.
"Don't you know anything about vampires? We have to be invited inside a human's home for the first time." I said thinking that this was common knowledge now that the vampire's had mainstreamed.
"Ok, then my story is that my car broke down and I need to use a pair of jumper cables. And by the way you are the first vampire that I have actually been around. I have seen other at a distance; but never approached them before." She walked away abruptly; leaving me shocked once again at her declaration. I found immense pleasure in knowing that I would be her first and only vampire; it only helped fuel the fire that was raging inside of me. I watched from the corner as she knocked repeatedly on the door; finally the boyish man opened the door. The boy looked Sookie up and down taking in her luscious curves; I had to fight the jealously that bubbled inside of me. When she finished her story he invited her inside with a hopeful look that unnerved me. As soon as she was across the threshold she stopped immediately and invited me in. I was there in a second pushing her behind me; as the boy stood stunned dropping a pair of jumper cables to the floor.
"Who are you?" The boy said staring at me with his mouth gapping open like an invalid.
"A very curious friend of Susan's looking to answers about her death." I was across the room in an instant shoving him against the wall using my hand around his throat to balance him.
"Eric, stop you promised we would try this my way." She said putting her hand on my arm calming me. I released him and sat him down on the sofa holding him there. Sookie moved to sit across from him looking deeply in his eyes.
"What's your name?" She said softly calming the hostility in the room.
"Tyler Mason" He said shortly, anger blazing in his eyes. Sookie sat for a while staring at him the only sign of life was the vast array of facial expression's that crossed her face.
"Eric, check under the rug in the master bedroom and you will find the murder weapon." She said holding her face in her hands. I made my to the largest bedroom there undeniably was a large blue decorative rug. I lifted the edge slightly to reveal the greatest surprise there was a sword I had only seen once in my lifetime; the handle was dark crimson almost black and lined with magnificent rubies. It was a relic, taken from the Egyptians themselves it was the only sworn that could kill a vampire in one swipe no matter where it landed. It was fabled that an Egyptian pharaoh prayed to the god Osiris the god of the underworld for a way to rid himself of the vampires that plagued his domain. Osiris jealous that vampires got to escape the underworld and he could never clam them granted the pharaohs pleas with a sword wielded from the fires of the underworld that could kill any creature of the night in an instant. I knew who possessed this sword that had been handed down to him by his sire and he was about to pay dearly.
