I have translation provided for some parts that's in different language so you don't have to look for it. But hopefully whoever speak in Swedish or Latin won't have a problem if the translation was not proper or accurate. I just write the stuff in English and went to find a site that will translate it in a language that I intended it to be. So please if there's a problem with it I guess just ignore it and just read the english part. Enjoy
************************************************************************
I finally reach my limit. My mind drifted to unconsciousness. I heard a voice called me and saw a blinding white light appeared in front of me. He/ She touched my face. And immediately serene flooded to me. I couldn't make out who was the figure in front of me. But I felt he/she is part of me, and significantly part of my life. The figure spoke;
"Meus parvulus. Meus carus parvulus. Is est vicis... meus parvulus. Secundum diutinus pro tot annus. EGO mos iam tribuo vos vestri chance meus parvulus. ago is sapienter. Iam peto. Peto iam meus parvulus." ( Trans. " My child. My beloved child. It is time...my child. After enduring for so many years. I will now give you your chance, my child. Live it wisely. Now seek. Seek now my child.") said the beautiful voice.
After hearing the voice, a white light explode and I found myself floating away. I was floating to the air and felt the wind blowing in my face. I remain aimlessly floating until I reach a meadow. There's a carpet of bluebells, and different size, shapes, colors of wild flowers everywhere. It was so beautiful. From high up from where I was floating I can see a boy sitting on a big rock. He was wearing a woolen white tunic shirt with a belt over the tunic's waist and a small pouch on the side. He had a dark brown trousers on and an ankle boots. He has a very long blond hair nestled to his back and tied with a piece of leather. He was busy carving something in a piece of wood. I wanted to know what he was carving so I step down and seated beside him. He was meticulously carving a boat. Then suddenly he looks strait to me. He has the most gorgeous blue eyes I have ever seen! Then he starts saying something.
".moder Jag vill bli överskriften hem i lite stycke" .( Mother... I will be heading home in a little bit). Said the boy to the woman behind my back. I realize that his not looking at me. He was looking through me?
Then the woman response "bli hem framför din fader få hem."( be home before your father gets home.)
"Ja jag vill moder."( I will mother) the boy said one last time.
After a few minutes had past, the boy started to gather his small knife that he uses to carve the boat. He placed it inside the pouch that's hanging on his waist. He took one last glance admiring his masterpiece and begun to take his leave. I started to say something but woke up. I realized I was dreaming.
My eyes flutter open. I focused my eyes to the face in front of me. But I couldn't figure out who was it. My eyes are to blurry so I blink and blink trying to adjust and refocus my vision. And after I blink once more, I saw Sam was in front of me with a worried look on his face. I tried to sit up, did it without effort. I was moving fluidly "Wow". I thought. I look around and noticed that my arm was hook up in an IV and realize that we're in one of the hospital room, somewhere. .? So I ask Sam.
"Sam where are we? I mean I know we are in one of a hospital room but what am I doing here?
"We are at St. Therese hospital. "Sam answered hesitantly, torn between processing what he just heard in Sookie's sleep. She was murmuring something a while ago before she came conscious, but he couldn't understand anything that she said.
"What am I doing here Sam?" she ask confused.
"You don't remember anything? I brought you here when I found you unconscious in my front porch Sookie. When I saw you, I nearly had a heart attack. You were bruised up, your clothes were soak up with blood and you have a stab wound on your side. You've been out for 2 days Sook. What happened to you? Sam asked. He already had a clue of what had happen to her but he wanted to make sure and to find out the details of it. He needed to make a decision on a matter.
"What!? I've been out for 2 days? I rake up my mind trying recall the last events that I can remember, but before I could process anything Sam ask again.
"What happen to you Sookie? I need to know. You were supposed to be just getting your cellphone in your car but you didn't came back. You disappear for quite sometime before I found you, in front of my trailer and in a very…. horrid condition. I thought….I thought". Sam couldn't finish his words he was getting flashbacks of how horrible Sookie looks, when he found her. He felt despair. He thought she was dead. Hell he thought he will never see her again.
Sookie thought for a minute trying to remember. Then suddenly she blurted out." What happen to the Rattray's?"
"They're dead Sookie".
Sookie gasp. Wha..wahaht? They're dead? what happen?
"They were found dead in their car in that oakhill rd. You know the abandon lot there. The police said that they loose control and hit a tree". Sam didn't want to be the one to give her this information but she asked. He didn't buy any of the police findings. He knows well that there's more to it than just a car accident. What the heck does the Rattray's doing over there in the first place? And Sookie?
"What about them? Why did you ask about them Sook? Don't tell me…
Before Sam can finish Sookie explained. "They are the one responsible for this." Sookie pointed on what she surely knows injuries that she receive from the Rattray's but gasp, when she didn't see any. "Hhh..ha...how in the world?" Sookie said incoherently. " I'm pretty sure I should be swollen purple like a beaten boxer right now. I even thought, I was going to die from all the blows that they inflict on me."Sookie said in disbelief.
What do you mean Sookie? the Rattray's did this to you? He couldn't understand it but he was furious. Those lowlife son of a bitch beat her? and tried to kill her?
Sookie wanted to look under her hospital gown so she can check her stab wound. So she ask Sam.
"Sam can you turn around for a minute I just wanted to check on something."
Sam comply he already knows what Sookie wanted to see.
"Whoa" even the stab wound was already healed". she said in disbelief. Her stab wound was already pinkish you can barely even tell that she's been stab. She quickly covered herself again and told Sam to turn back now.
"Sam I don't understand. Did I really just been unconscious for 2 days? How did all my injuries healed in just a couple of days!?"
"I wish I know the answer Sookie. Heck, I mean even the doctors couldn't understand. So Sookie, please try to remember everything that had happen. Why did the Rattray's tried to kill you in the first place Sookie?
"Ok Sam I know your going to say that this is stupid but…. Sookie paused for a second trying to find a phrase that will not sound stupid or insane but failed. "I heard their thoughts and follow them. They were planning to drain the vampire.!"
"What!!? You didn't!. You mean you heard them plotting on the vampire! You lied to me and told me you were just going to get your cellphone!.. but you follow them? And what did you planned when you found them Sook? Help that vampire. You put yourself in danger for a vampire? Vampires are strong Sookie, you know that. They don't need any help especially from a human. And yah I think that stupid Sook.! I wish you've told me what was happening, before you decided to be a courageous fool ".
Sookie got irritated in Sam for calling her a courageous fool. So she got defensive.
"For your information Sam that's where you're wrong. This one obviously can't handle himself. I found him being drained by the Rattray's."
"That's beyond the point Sookie!." Sam is getting angrier now and started raising his voice. You didn't even know that vampire! And you put yourself in danger and for what! to save a fucking vampire?!!!! I know your smart, but where's your logic had gone Sookie! If you didn't die from the Rattray's I'm pretty sure that fucking vampire will have surely drain you!" Sookie didn't know how much capable a vampire can kill. And Sam knows all about this. His a shifter for God's sake. His part of the supe's . He knows a lot of things normal people don't. But how can he make this normal human understand how dangerous she put herself for trying to save that vampire.
"Obviously Sam, you can tell that the vampire didn't drain me coz if he did, I wouldn't be here, wont I!? And what makes you so damn sure that the vampire would have harmed me hah Sam?!. Have you forgotten that I have a few vampire clients Sam. I deal with them all the time!" Sookie's said matching Sam's tone.
Sookie was hurt from Sam's harsh rant. But she wouldn't budge.
Sam was really getting impatient with Sookie now. She's so stubborn and wouldn't budge at all. What was he supposed to do? So she will believe how dangerous she came close to death by trying to be a hero to that fucking vampire! Sam finally losses his temper.
Damn it! I'm a shape shifter Sookie! I know what vampires are capable of! You wouldn't know because you're just a human! I don't know why he left you alive. But vampires kill Sookie! And they won't think twice about it. Sam said impulsively not realizing he just reveal himself.
Wha..whhat Sam? What do you mean you're a shifter!? Sookie blurted out. She was so confused now. She doesn't know what Sam's meant that his a shape shifter? The only thing that came up to her mind was the fictional characters from the book that change form. "Wait"! you mean….
Sam cut her off. "Yah As in I can change to any form that I want. I mean animal form. But I preferred and usually shift into a border collie. That's why I need you trust me on this Sookie.
Sookie was flabbergasted. She couldn't believe what Sam just revealed. And she said it so.
"I don't believe you Sam. Is this a sick joke? That's not possible!
Sam thought that this might be the best chance for Sookie to know what he really is. If he wanted her to take his advice seriously or to trust him fully as a friend (or more), he must disclose the other part of his identity "I can prove it to you Sookie. Do you want me to?
"What? Are you just going to shift in front of me? That easy…? Oh Sure. Why not Sookie said in mockery. She still doesn't believe Sam but she decided to play along and see how far Sam was going with this.
"I won't shift in front of you Sookie. I have to be naked to do this. And I don't think you are ready to see me naked….Unless ….Sam trailed off waiting for a reaction from Sookie.
What's that supposed to mean? Did he just told me I'm not ready to see him naked? "Oh! You mean Do I want to see my bestfriend naked? Probably….not." Blushing I said trying to hide my uneasiness. I like Sam but just like a brother . He's still a guy though, with a physically attractive body. Maybe I want a little peek? But I wouldn't tell him that. So instead I told him to do it in the bathroom. Sam gave me a smug look and went to the bathroom. He left the door a bit open. Hmmmmmm???
A few seconds after I heard some rustling noise, a dog clawed to open the side of the door.
I gasp…. "What the hell?" The dog whimpers a little and makes its way near her bed, and clawed up to lean his paws on the side of her bed. Before she can even say anything else. The door at front swings open. It was Amelia.
Amelia decided to visit Sookie. She heard from Jason that Sookie hasn't regain consciousness for 2 days now. Since she doesn't have to work till noon, she decided to check up on her.
She brought her favorite flowers and a fruit basket. When she reach the hospital, she ask the nurse from the desk for Sookie's room number, and off went to her room. She was thinking of knocking at her door but decided against it and opens the door.
As she walks inside the room, she immediately noticed the dog leaning on the bed. Amelia stops in her stance. What in the world would a dog be doing in a hospital? Amelia thought. Her brows furrow and she has an inquisitive look on her face. Then recognition set in. Amelia was so focus on Sam that she didn't even notice that Sookie was awake then blurted out. "Sam, What the hell are you doing here !? ooppssss…! She walk closer then suddenly was taken aback when she finally notice that Sookie was awake. She was mortified. And soooooo don't have a way in denying that she's aware and known that Sam's a shifter. Way to go Amelia! Now what excuse you can come up now, she thought.
Sookie's jaw dropped, she was astonished. How did Amelia knew it was Sam? She wasn't even 100% convince yet that it was Sam. And here Amelia just knew for a certain that it was Sam? Clearly she's the only one left out in your not supposed to have secrets with your bestfriend pact she thought.
Sookie eyes narrowed into slits. She was shooting daggers to Amelia now. Amelia lowers her gaze to avoid Sookie and makes her way to the side of her bed to place the flower and the fruit basket. Why does she have to be the one to slip her tongue about Sam she thought. This can't be good. She turns around and faces Sookie again and started to speak to redirect the situation in a more pleasant one, but stopped by Sookie.
Sookie thought Amelia look so guilt-ridden so she announce. "You two are sooooooooo dead. I'm so going to kill you both. We've been friends for how long? And nobody trusted me enough to tell me anything about this? I thought you two are my bestfriend!? We should and we don't hide secrets remember? Especially this big"!
Amelia looks around to avoid Sookie's gaze. After a few seconds pass she starts fidgeting. She looks down and saw Sam came back down from the bed and inclined his head down low. Probably in shame after Sookie's bawling out. Amelia couldn't come up a response to Sookie so she turn to growl at Sam.
"What the heck Sam! Help me out here!" Sam whimpered, lay flat on the floor and cover his face with his paws.
Sookie was getting impatient now. She was looking back and forth to Amelia and the dog (Sam). She wanted an explanation. And right now unfortunate for Amelia she's the one has to give it since Sam hasn't shift back to his human form.
"Oh don't give me that puppy dog eyes Sam. You better change back now or else I will
Turn you into a cat forlife! You know I can!." Oppsssss another slip of the tongue. " Damn it" Amelia realize she fuck up again.
After hearing Amelia's unintentional blurt out, Sam make its way to the restroom to shift back to his human form. He knows for a fact that Amelia is capable in turning him into a cat. Sam heard it before in one of rambling conversation with Amelia.
"Well, well, well Amelia how are going to do that? Don't tell me you're a member of the freaks club too.!? Sookie said sarcastically.
Amelia never liked hearing Sookie referring herself as a freak more so to be called like one. Since this day was turning out to be a reveal day (more like stupid imprudent Amelia Day) she thought, she decided to might as well confess. She puffs some breath then look at her. "First I'm not a freak Sookie and so are you. And second I confess I'm a witch and frankly I don't think there's anything wrong about being a witch."Amelia said sounding proud but thought that she'll be really torn if Sookie is against the idea of her friend being a witch.. She have done a lot of bad stuff and harmful things to people in the past using magic and can do more if she wanted to. But she is change now. She now understands the consequences in abusing magic. But even so she didn't know what Sookie will think of her if she knew all of this. That's why she didn't tell her about it in the first place.
Oh! if there's nothing wrong about it, then why didn't you tell me that you're a witch Amelia!? Sookie said in mockery.
Sam came back and had, had enough of this wrangling.
"Enough!!! Sookie and Amelia suddenly stop in their bickering and look at Sam.
When Sam got their attention he started in his reasoning. Sookie I'll explain why we didn't tell you about this… because you're a normal human Sookie. And we're not. Atleast I'm not. I was born like this. And growing up like this, tend you to guard yourself from people that might not understand. Its not that I didn't trust you Sookie, its just I never been close to any normal human before. And I'm afraid if you knew this side of me it will have driven you away. A lot of people did. That's why I kept it from you."
Sookie suddenly felt sympathy for Sam. She knows what the feeling of not being normal. Like what Sam had said you guard yourself from people that might not understand. Isn't that what she's been doing to other people all of her life? Hiding her telepathy so people might still see her as normal? And now she understands where Sam was coming from. But what change now?
"Sam I understand now why you hid this from me. And I wanted to correct you. I'm not a normal human Sam. A normal human couldn't hear other people's thoughts. I'm telepathic and I think if people knew this will also drive them away or worst hurt me or use me. I realize I can't blame you for not telling me. I realize now, but what change Sam? Why are you telling me this now?
"Because you won't take me seriously when I said to you how dangerously you put yourself into in trying to save that vampire Sookie."
Amelia gasp, "She did what!!!???"
Sam shushes Amelia. He needed to ask Sookie to do something now, before the doctors or nurse started to check up on her. He didn't want them to see him there especially because he just sneaks his way to get there this morning, and that would be a problem if they saw him.
"I'll explain it to you later Amelia, right now I needed Sookie to listen and just do what I'm about to ask."
Sookie listen tentatively. She doesn't know what Sam was going to ask of her. But from Sam's demeanor it has to be pretty serious. "Ok Sam what is it?"
"I need you to lie."
"Lie about what Sam?"
Amelia suddenly looks at Sam questioningly.
"I need you to lie and pretend that you don't remember anything. If anybody ask what had happen to you just tell them you don't know and don't remember anything." Sam saw the confused look in Sookie's face so he continued to explain. "Sookie I don't think The Rattray's died accidentally. I think the vampire killed them. And if you tell anybody what had happen to you, you will be link into the crime that the vampire commit.
Sookie cut him off. "But I need to tell the authorities Sam. If you're right in your assumptions I need to tell them the truth on what really had happen.
Sookie It's not an assumption I knew for a fact that the vampire have killed the Rattray's I'm even more positive especially if they tried to drain him. It wouldn't help at all if you confess that you know anything about what had happen at that night. It will just get you involve in a nasty situation. I believe you use your telepathy to find them Sookie. How else are you going to explain to them how you found the Rattray's? That place was abandon Sookie. And the vampire, nobody will know that his even present there. Only Supe's will know. The authorities already thought it was an accident. You already know the Rattray's reputation in this town as crack heads and doing illegal stuff so the police will not investigate furthermore. They'll just think that the Rattray's are too wasted that's why they got into that accident. I don't even know if that vampire will show up again especially that he let you go when he should have killed you so there will be no witness to what he had done. And that's the part that bugs me. Why do you think he let you live Sookie?
Amelia was getting a headache trying to understand the situation. She wanted to ask a lot of question but she's gonna have to wait for Sam to explain what he knows.
"That's the thing Sam you already sure that the vampire should have killed me but he didn't. You sounded like its no big deal for them to kill at all.
Amelia was the one who answered Sookie. She had a very bad experience with vampires in her home in New Orleans. She had a tenant in one of the apartments that she owned that was forcedly taken by vampires. She had witnessed how her tenant Hadley drained by vampires. It's a nightmarish experience that still hunted her in her sleep. That's why she decided to move to Bontemps in the first place and left her hometown.
"Oh you have no idea Sookie. Sam wasn't exaggerating. I have witness it before and I hope you will never will Sookie. I know you couldn't accept what were trying to insinuate for you to believe. And even much harder for you to accept it knowing you have a very good relationship with the Lindgrens. They treat your family really good you can tell that they are really fond of the three of you especially you Sookie. I am not against vampires Sookie but I don't think I want one as a friend either. This is just about the experience that I happen to witness. And for my opinion I don't doubt what Sam known and believe. You have to trust us on this Sook, understand we care about you. We only want what's the best for you and to protect you.
Sookie doesn't know what to do. She was torn between telling the truth or protecting herself. Would it make her selfish if she wanted to protect herself? The Rattray's were already dead. They are the one's responsible in bringing this shit upon themselves. Or is it my fault? If I didn't intervene they will still be alive and doing all sorts of shit not just for themselves but for other people too. Or did I do this town a favor? If I tell the authorities about this what good does it make? It'll just expose my disability but they still be dead. And if Sam and Amelia were right I'll be just suck in into a horrible mess if the authorities wouldn't know that a vampire was even present there. And what will they think of me if I said I went in that abandon lot and saw the Rattray's draining a vampire. Will they believe me? Or will they think I was dealing with the Rattray's too. That would be really bad. There's a lot of stuff that had happened to me that I couldn't explain. Heck I don't even know how I ended up at Sam's trailer and was now already healed as if nothing happen to me. My mind is in surge information overload. I needed to think this thorough.
"Sam, Amelia I need to think this thoroughly." Sookie said while rubbing her temples. She's getting a headache processing this load of information and the pending decision that she has to make. "Can you give me sometime alone to think about this?"
I don't know Sookie if you have a lot of time to think about this. The nurses or the doctor will be checking up on you in a few minutes. I'm afraid you have to make a decision now Sam said urgently. He can hear some footsteps in the hallway now hoping who ever it was, is not heading in Sookie's room.
But before Sookie utter another word abruptly there was a knock at the door.
