Chapter 9
Flashbacks
Full Moon (Rebecca is 18. Shortly after Eric found her)
"What do you think you are doing?"
Rebecca hated hearing that voice, mostly because Pam scared her.
"I was getting some fresh air," Rebecca said.
"That's what the daytime is for. Eric said you are not to leave the basement," Pam said.
"I can't stay down there all the time. It's dark and creepy…"
"That why Eric got you a flash light."
"It's not a place for a human to live. I need a home to settle into. Grow some roots," Rebecca said.
"Then get some plants," Pam said.
She rolled her eyes, "That's not the point."
"I don't care; get your ass back down there before Eric sees you. He doesn't want you up in the bar during business hours. It's dangerous."
"I'd rather take my chances. I can help bar-keep or whatever."
"Talk about it with Eric, he just arrived," Pam said.
Rebecca turned around to find Eric but she didn't have to look long. He was standing right before her.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Looking for a job," she said innocently.
"Look down the street, I hear DQ is hiring. A vampire bar is not place for a human to work at."
"I can't just stay down in the basement forever. I could help."
"I send you to your private lessons, I feed and cloth you and what more could you possible want?"
"I want a home," she said sadly.
"I'll see what I can do about that but in the mean time, you see than man in the corner that just sat down, I need you to entertain him for awhile until I come back," Eric said.
She looked to where he was pointing and saw a tall muscular man, "How do I do that?"
Eric smirked at her, "Just play fetch with him."
Rebecca looked at Eric confused as he walked away.
She walked over to the man and sat across from him. She smiled and he smiled back.
"Did Eric send you over to keep an eye on me?" the man said.
She laughed, "I'm to play fetch with you," she said carefully.
He laughed, "Of course. My name is Alcide," he put out his hand.
She shook his hand, "Rebecca."
"So, what's a girl like you working for…someone like him?"
"What's a guy like you sitting in bar like this with said girl?"
"Fair enough," he said, "I have some business with Eric."
"I figured. I kind of work for him," she said.
"You work for him? You know what he is right?" he whispered.
"There's no point in whispering inside a vampire bar," she said.
"Is that why you smell different?"
"Excuse me?" she asked, "I don't smell like anything."
"Yes you do."
"How would you know…unless," she laughed, "Unless you are a supernatural creature."
"I like to go by werewolf."
"A werewolf? Wow, never met one before. That's cool."
He didn't agree, "What are you?"
"Witch."
"Oh, that's different. Never met one before."
"That makes two of us," she said as Eric joined them.
"Don't you two look cute. Alcide, I'm ready for you in my office," Eric said.
Alcide got up, "It was nice meeting you Rebecca."
"You too," she said.
Once Alcide was out of ear shot, "I might just have use for you yet," Eric said.
Rebecca never did see Alcide again.
Pillow Talk (After the First Time)
Rebecca just laid there looking up at the ceiling not saying a word.
Something blocked her view of the ceiling, it was Eric.
"You're being quite. Did I hurt you?" he asked as he touched her face.
"No, I'm alright. I was just thinking about…everything," she smirked.
"You want an encore?"
"No…well yes but, everything was perfect," she said switching to her side and Eric getting on his.
"I'm glad I could please you."
"Everything is going to be different now," she said.
"It doesn't have to."
She just smiled at him.
"You can't stop smiling," he said.
Rebecca giggled, "Is that a problem?"
"No, it makes you seem more…human."
He almost smiled, "Are you happy?" he asked.
"Yes, I think I am. Are you?"
He didn't respond, "Dawn is approaching…"
She sighed, "I know."
"You can stay; I just won't be much company."
Rebecca leaned in to kiss him before he went still and the sleep took him.
What Just Happened
"What do you mean that was a mistake? Was I not good?" Rebecca asked Eric.
"That doesn't have anything to do with it. It shouldn't have happened," he said.
Rebecca started to cry, "I don't understand. What just happened? I thought we were happy."
"You just had a crush on me and I gave in to that."
"It's a two way street you know."
"I think its time that we went our separate ways," he said not even looking at her.
She didn't say anything.
"I can pay you for all the years you worked for me. I'll make sure you get set up somewhere."
"You can keep your damn money!" she yelled getting off the bed, "I don't need it! And I don't need you!"
She ran and didn't look back.
Dallas
Rebecca arrived in Dallas late one evening. She wished that she did take his money because she doesn't have anything.
She only had some money in her purse that she grabbed before running out of that house. And she was now out of it.
She started to walk the streets of Dallas. She didn't know where she was going. Last time she was here, he did all the traveling.
"Ass hole," she said out loud.
She was trying to find Godric's mansion but she could stop someone in the street and ask, 'Do you know where he lives, you know the vampire?'
No one knew about vampires, just her and her lonely self.
It was dark now.
And of course it started to rain.
It rained very hard.
"Rebecca," someone called her name.
She didn't respond until that someone touched her arm.
She turned to find the very concerned face of Godric.
"Godric?"
"Yes child, it's me."
"You're all wet."
"Yes, so are you. Let's get you in the car," he said and led her to his limo.
They got inside the warm limo.
Godric sat on one end and Rebecca on the other.
"Eric called me. He said that you had left very upset with no money and no place to go. He thought that you might show up here," Godric said.
Rebecca looked out the window at the pouring rain.
"Was that all he said?" she asked.
"No."
Rebecca started to tear up.
"So you know now how stupid I am. Letting him in like that."
Godric touched her hand, "I don't think you are stupid. I think Eric was the stupid one, for leading you on like that."
Rebecca looked at him, "But he didn't," she defended, "I wanted it too."
She sobbed.
Godric took her in his arms, which was a first for him, "Eric doesn't know how to process what he is feeling. Most of us don't. We act out without thinking it through first."
"Godric…I love…him so much…I don't…know what to…do now," she said in between sobs.
Godric rocked her back and forth trying to calm her down, "Its okay child," he kissed her forehead, "You can stay with us until you know what to do next. You don't have to make any decisions yet."
Picking up the Pieces (After the rape)
Rebecca heard the door slam shut.
She winced.
She was in so much pain.
She couldn't get up from the floor. She crawled to the couch and managed to push herself up to sit on it.
She looked around the room at the damage Eric had caused to it.
What he caused her…
She put her face in her hands and began to scream.
She caused all the windows and glass in the room to shatter.
Moments later she walked to the bathroom.
She was glad the mirror was broken.
She stripped off her clothes, turned on the facet, and got in.
She didn't to wash the memory of it off of her…she didn't to wash him off of her.
