************************************************************************
Lope continued to make some weird noises. And finally I had enough on my kidding myself to escape in reality to have a little peace of mind moment. Clearly I would never have, even my horse wouldn't grant me one. So I open my eyes and decided might as well to get back home. I was halfway pulling myself up when I open my eyes. It didn't prepare me on what I saw inches away staring in front of me. I was petrified.
Seeing how he caught me off guard he move away to lean on the tree. Then I heard him chuckle a little before he spoke.
"Is that why you're lying senseless out here in the cold?" said the vampire.
I was so petrified that I stop breathing. My throat felt like it closed up and had a big lump blocking my airways. So I tried to swallow but couldn't manage to do that either. My anxiety starts increasing and it's getting the best of me that I'm probably going to pass out in a few minutes if I don't recover myself fast. Then the vampire spoke again.
"Relax Sookie I didn't mean to frighten you. I didn't expect to found you here in my property. It was so unexpected and it amazes me too actually." he said in his soft voice.
My anxiety turned to bewilderment. Did he just say his property? I sat up, right myself and glance to his direction. He was leaning on the oak tree with his hands on his pocket and head inclined downward. I studied his aspect in the dark. He's as attractive just the way I remember the first time I saw him. He looks gentle and harmless not like the way Sam and Amelia describe a vampire's demeanor. So I gather my courage to talk to him.
"What do you mean this is your property? Do you live here?" I ask. Well duh! How else would he say that this is his property but its too late I already utter what a stupid question to ask. I know nobody lives at the house connected to Grans land property for decades now. The closest old house has been abandoned for almost a century now as far as I know. And who is this guy anyway? I don't even know his name?
"This is part of my property. I live at the house near by, you probably known it as the Compton Ranch house. But you can go here anytime you want if you want to get away from Jason and Lyzel's thoughts every one's in a while. I assumed that's the reason you're here Am I right?
I cringed I was hoping he didn't catch me on my blubbering earlier but apparently he did and now I'm doomed. He didn't wait for a response or affirmation. He had caught me talking about it so its pretty much there's no way in denying it.
"So you can hear other people's thoughts. Is that how you found me?" I mean the time when those humans were trying to drain me? He asks with a probing look in his face.
"I..I..I…"I couldn't form any coherent response. I keep opening and closing my mouth after vocalizing just the first word. I was so afraid that he now knows that I can read minds and so nervous that I can't really answer him. And as soon as he mentioned me finding him being drain, my mind immediately drifted to what Sam had told me this morning about the Rattray's death and so that add up on my anxiety being around this vampire.
"I guess I shouldn't have ask you that as a question otherwise how else did you get in that lot in the first place. It's not like a person like you will be wondering around in that kind of place…right." He said more like affirmation to himself. "I guess I'm in your debt for saving me?" he said with a hint of displeasure in his voice. "But I guess were even because I save your life too. I guess you can call it quits."
I wasn't expecting for him to acknowledge that I save his life. Or him declaring that his in debted to me, but what is he saying that he saves my life? I was beaten, stab and almost died on the Rattray's hands. He didn't help me nor did anything at all to prevent the Rattray's from beating me. So what the hell is he talking about that he save me? I was annoyed now.
"Huh? Mister?"
"Compton. Bill Compton. But you can just call me Bill if you want." he said simply.
Ok? Bill what the hell are you talking about that you save my life!? I was beaten and stab by the Rattray's because I was stupid enough to attempt to save a vampire. So don't tell me that you save my life because you didn't do anything. You just let them beat me to death! I said incredulously.
Bill moved in his vampire speed and suddenly his right in front of my face looking at me straight in the eyes. He looks like his was trying to do or say something judging by the looks in his face. He probably didn't expect to be yelled at by me. Heck I was surprise with myself to lash out like that especially with a vampire so I look down and lower my gaze on my hand to avoid his cold stared at me.
"Have you ever wondered how you healed and recovered so fast Sookie! You were left for dead by those low life bastards! They drained me and I gave you my blood in order to save your life! He started to turn and leave but I called to stop him.
"Wait! Don't leave! What did you say? You gave me your blood? Like how?" I felt aghast but curious at the same time. I wanted to know what the hell he means that he gave me his blood. Do we even have the same blood type? And ewww…I thought he's dead. I mean undead dead so why the hell give me his blood?
He stops in his tracks and starts explaining but didn't turn back to look at me. " I gave you my blood to heal you Sookie, either that or your dead by now. They beat you up and left you for dead before I got my strength back to get to you. My blood helped you from dying."
"You mean vampire blood can cure and healed human?" I ask still not convince on what he was telling me. And notice Bill went rigid as soon as ask this.
"You probably only knew that our blood…vampires blood was establish to heightened someone's libido. What a lot of humans don't know that our blood can heal humans too. We don't share this with humans for obvious reason Sookie. Just think about the drainer's that after us right now, imagine all the humans knowing this. I don't know why I'm telling you this, but can I trust you to keep your mouth shut about this information Sookie?
Is he actually asking me if he can trust me with this information? As if I'm not afraid that he might do something really bad to me if I said no and couldn't keep my mouth shut about this apparently very confidential information. And thanks to Sam and Amelia's enlightenment about vampires I really don't have a say on this. There's no saying no. So who is he kidding? "I wouldn't tell anybody, besides is not my secret to be told so you can trust me not to tell a soul. But can I ask you a question? He still didn't turn around to let me know if he acknowledge or refuse if it's ok to ask him a question so I continued.
"Did you have anything to do with the Rattray's death?" I ask reluctantly hopefully I wouldn't sound implying.
"Ask yourself that question Sookie. After their attempt in killing me by draining me dry and them beating you to death. Do you think I have any reason to kill those human's? Do you think they deserve to live Sookie? I think you know them better than I do. They almost succeeded in killing both of us. If they didn't die Sookie, will you let them get away with it?" And with that last question said he was gone. I stood and look around trying to figure out where he had gone. He didn't answer my last question he just left me something more to think about grrrrrrr.. What's with disappearing in the middle of a conversation? Is he trying to avoid the subject? Does that mean he kill them? He didn't actually admit anything. More question to rack my brain. Great… fucking great!
After I felt my finger's starting to get stiff from the cold. I decided its time to head home and face my brother and sister.
BPOV
I really have to do something about this house. I just woke up after sunset and already irritated on my old house condition. Now I'm really regretting that I didn't accept the offer of the sheriff to just stay in his estate, a more suitable accommodation. However every time his child see's me she's so obnoxious that I can't stand to be around her. She really gets under my skin. So I'd rather stay to this old crappy house. The contractor that I hired to fix this house hasn't made any progress for the house at all. What the fuck those stupid human's doing in their working hours? Maybe I should just all fired them and hired a new one. But it's really hard to hire a new one. As soon as they found out that their going to deal with a vampire they always make excuses that their not available or they already booked for business commitment right now. Fucking pansies although I couldn't blame them if they're really afraid to take the job it's really causing an inconvenience for me though. I went outside and decided to walk around the property so I can keep off my mind about the crappy condition of my house.
As soon as I walk outside I felt the night's air very pleasing to my taste. There are a lot of stars tonight. I walk on my vampire speed trying to reach the big oak tree where there's a long bench that I usually spend some of my time laying down and just gazing upon the stars. But as soon as I lay my eyes far enough that I can see the tree and the bench, I wasn't prepared for what I saw. The bench was occupied and there's a horse tied on the tree. I lessen my pace walking to get there. As I got closer I recognize the woman lying on the bench. It was Sookie.
She was so beautiful just lying there wearing a gown? It looks like a night gown and she's only wearing a poncho on top of it? I'm pretty sure the weather is pretty cold for that kind of clothing to be wore outside so what is she doing out here wearing too minimal clothes? Looking at her looking like that was really giving me a hard on. On top of that, the gown has a long slits on the side that tremendously exposed her legs to boost some fantasies that I'm having right now. But as I reach her, saw that her eyes were closed and tears running on the side of her face I was taken aback. I moved closer and observe her more, but as soon as I got only a foot distance away from her, the horse started to make some noise and that seems got her irritated so she started yelling at the horse.
"Could u Stop that Lope! Is it really too much to ask for just a little quiet time for myself! Jason and Lyzel's thoughts already upset me Lope. I don't need their pity. They don't want me to know that they do and I don't want to hear it in their heads either. But I don't have a choice Lope. Especially tonight, I can't put up my shields at all. That's why I left the house. But don't get me wrong I'm happy to spend some time with you too but we just did that this afternoon. I'm not even going to ask them to understand me. Because I myself couldn't understand what is wrong with me."
I was really surprised now. Did she just say she hears someone's thoughts right from their head? So she can read minds. That explains how she found us on that abandon place. So she's telepathic. And that's why she's out here in the cold trying to avoid hearing whoever is this Jason and Lyzel is. So she can control hearing peoples mind too by putting up some kind of shield. Interesting he thought. I wonder if she can read different kinds of supe's too. Worst can she read vampire's mind too? My guess is not, otherwise she would have notice my presence by now. I incline my head closer to her face and point my index finger to catch one of the tears that's falling on the side of her face and put it in my mouth. Again even her tears were intoxicating but not as potent as her blood. I wonder why she tastes so different from other humans.
The horse made some noise again and finally she started to get up and open her eyes. She went pale when she saw me inches away from her face and I notice that she stop breathing too so I moved away and lean on the tree to give her some space. I chuckle on the frighten look on her face.
"Is that why you're lying senseless out here in the cold?"
I ask her a question but she didn't answer. From the look on her face she's still in a complete shock so I told her to relax and tried to calm her down by informing how unexpected and amaze I was to find her in my property.
"Relax Sookie I didn't mean to frighten you. I didn't expect to found you here in my property. It was so unexpected and it amazes me too actually."
That got her demeanor back a little bit normal. She's probably curious why I said that this is my property. The Compton Ranch has been abandon for almost a century now. I never wanted to come back here but had no choice. I needed to obey my Queen so I had to go back. Now I understand why the queen is so interested with this human. She can be really useful to our kind if she can really hear other peoples mind. So all I needed to do is to confirm if this was true and gain her trust, so I'm going to give her a welcome invitation to roam to my property anytime she wants.
"This is part of my property. I live at the house near by, you probably known it as the Compton Ranch house. But you can go here anytime you want if you want to get away from Jason and Lyzel's thoughts every one's in a while. I assumed that's the reason you're here Am I right?
She flinches and worried look is clearly visible on her face as soon as I said that. Of course I was right on my assumption reading from the reaction she gave me. She's probably looking for an excuse to get out from this but I would not let her have it.
"So you can hear other people's thoughts. Is that how you found me?" I mean the time when those humans were trying to drain me?
"I..I..I…"
Yap can't find an excuse to deny it. Can't even utter a coherent response she's stammering. Well since she can't come up a response to deny it to me I'll just do her a favor and confirm it.
"I guess I shouldn't have ask you that as a question otherwise how else did you get in that lot in the first place. It's not like a person like you will be wondering around in that kind of place…right." I guess I'm in your debt for saving me? But I guess were even because I save your life too. I guess you can call it quits."
The expression on her face change as soon as I mention about me saving her life. It turn from confuse to annoyed in just a matter of seconds. What is she annoyed about?
"Huh? Mister?"
"Compton. Bill Compton. But you can just call me Bill if you want." I said simply. I thought this human was really not interested to know my name. She's been talking to me for quite sometime now. She even saves me without even knowing anything about me, even my name. The ultimate Good Samaritan I thought.
Ok? Bill what the hell are you talking about that you save my life!? I was beaten and stab by the Rattray's because I was stupid enough to attempt to save a vampire. So don't tell me that you save my life because you didn't do anything. You just let them beat me to death! I said incredulously.
Oh she didn't! Did she realize she got feisty and snap at me? A vampire? What a fucking weird human I thought.
I moved closer in front of her in my vampire speed and study her. I look in her eyes and tried to probe something. I decided to just glamour her and get it over with this conversation. But it didn't work she just stared at me confused at first then turn to lower her gaze to her hand. But that's not the idea I was trying to put in her head. So now I know she can't be glamoured. What a really weird human. This is getting complicated and I had a feeling this wont be as easy as I thought.
"Have you ever wondered how you healed and recovered so fast Sookie! You were left for dead by those low life bastards! They drained me and I gave you my blood in order to save your life!
I started to leave and thought that will be enough of an explanation but I was wrong she called at me and I actually stop in my tracks. I got a nagging voice inside my head that's telling me to explain to this human? What is happening to me?
"Wait! Don't leave! What did you say? You gave me your blood? Like how?"
" I gave you my blood to heal you Sookie, either that or your dead by now. They beat you up and left you for dead before I got my strength back to get to you. My blood helped you from dying."
"You mean vampire blood can cure and healed human?"
I went rigid, from her question. This is turning really bad. I wanted to get away there but I couldn't go. Am I actually going to explain to this human how vampire's blood works?
"You probably only knew that our blood…vampires blood was establish to heightened someone's libido. What a lot of humans don't know that our blood can heal humans too. We don't share this with humans for obvious reason Sookie. Just think about the drainer's that after us right now, imagine all the humans knowing this. I don't know why I'm telling you this, but can I trust you to keep your mouth shut about this information Sookie?
"I wouldn't tell anybody, besides is not my secret to be told so you can trust me not to tell a soul. But can I ask you a question?"
"Did you have anything to do with the Rattray's death?"
Do I have a choice? Am I in some kind of spell or something? I need to snap out of it. I tried so hard to fight the nagging voice inside my head and thought I broke a little bit of it. I tried so hard not to tell her that I killed the Rattray's because of the obvious reason that those low life son of bitch drain me. So instead of answering her question I redirect the question to her.
"Ask yourself that question Sookie. After their attempt in killing me by draining me dry and them beating you to death. Do you think I have any reason to kill those human's? Do you think they deserve to live Sookie? I think you know them better than I do. They almost succeeded in killing both of us. If they didn't die Sookie, will you let them get away with it?" After uttering the last question for Sookie to ponder, I had enough and force my self to leave. I have to evaluate my plan. This clearly was not a normal human.
************************************************************************
A/N You probably had a lot of question on what had happen to Bill but I can't tell you just yet. It's not yet to be revealed so I can't give an answer about that. But I can tell you something else, the incident that had happen to Sookie in trying to save Bill trigger something. So you can say Bill was the key to start the beginning of Sookie's future.
Confusing much?!! LOL well my advice is to just read my story and find out.
