Hey guys I am SOOOOOOOO sorry it took so long to update this story. I've had A LOT happen in the past few months but here it is.. the latest chapter! Definitely worth the wait because I already have the next chapter planned out :). Read, review and enjoy! Let me know what you think!
"Daxton, honey have you seen Leighanne? She never came home last night." Arlene asked looking at Daxton who was wiping down tables.
"Uh no I haven't heard from her since yesterday when we were all working." Daxton lied as Arlene eyed her suspiciously.
"She went off with that vampire again didn't she?" Arlene asked with a growl as Daxton swallowed hard.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Oh cut the shit Daxton. You know she is with him." Arlene hissed. "I knew I shouldn't have let her watch that damn Buffy the Vampire Slayer show when she was little." She added as she threw her purse into the back.
"Hey Arlene watch it!" Sam yelled as he ducked to avoid being hit by the purse.
"Sorry Sam."
"Arlene he's not going to hurt her I promise. He is my friend." Sookie said as she walked behind the bar.
"Of course the one that has the vampire for a boyfriend sides with her." Arlene said as she rolled her eyes. "I'll tell you one thing, she brings him back into my house and puts Lisa and Coby in danger again she'll have to find another place to stay." She added as Daxton's eyes widened.
"What about me?" Daxton asked as she turned around and looked at her.
"Honey as long as you don't cause any trouble you are welcome to stay at my house for as long as you like." Arlene said with a smile as Sookie shook her head.
Arlene quickly went to the back and Daxton pulled out her cell phone and sent a text to Leighanne.
"Leigh, Arlene is going crazy! Get your ass home!"
She quickly pressed send and went back to busing the tables.
~Eric's~
"Great." Leighanne said as she opened her phone to see the text message from her best friend.
She shut her phone and looked up to see Eric standing in the doorway smirking at her.
"I went to the bar and couldn't find anything. Can I leave now?" Leighanne asked as Eric looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Why the rush?"
"For one my sister is being a bitch and two I don't want to be anywhere near you." Leighanne said with a hiss as Eric smirked at her.
"The vibe I have been getting tells me otherwise. Why don't you want to be near me?"
"Oh I don't know making me have sex dreams about you when you are sitting at the end of my bed!" Leighanne yelled as she got up in his face.
"I assure you those were your thoughts I had nothing to do with it. Since I can't glamour you how can I tap into your dreams?" Eric asked as Leighanne's face changed. "Just admit it you want me." Eric said as he grabbed Leghanne's arms.
"Screw you Eric." Leighanne said with a hiss as she tried to pull away from Eric's grip.
"Listen I didn't come in here to argue."
"Well what did you come for Eric?" Leighanne asked rolling her eyes.
"I want to make sure you are safe at all times, even when I am not around." He said with a serious look.
"What are you going to do hire a bodyguard for me?"
"No. Something deeper than that." Eric said causing Leighanne to raise an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"We need to exchange blood." Eric said causing Leighanne's eyes to widen and pull away from him.
"Hell no. You aren't turning me Eric Northman!" She yelled pointing at him.
"I'm not going to turn you." Eric said with a laugh. "I take a little bit of your blood and you take a little bit of mine. If I was to turn you I would have to drain your blood completely, and I'm not going to do that unless you want me too. When we take each others blood we will know the others moods and we will be able to sense each others presence. We will also be able to tell if either one of us is in danger." He explained as Leighanne crossed her arms.
"I don't like this." Leighanne said as she slowly stepped forward.
"You don't have to like it. I just want to know if you are safe." Eric said as he moved her hair exposing her neck.
"Just get it over with." She said as she wrapped her arms around Eric's neck.
Leighanne took a deep breath as Eric kissed her neck then bite down making her scream a little in pain. After a few moments he licked her neck to seal the wound and pulled back to look at her.
"Are you okay?" Eric asked as Leighanne just nodded.
He searched through his pocket and pulled out a knife. He unbuttoned his shirt and cut his chest a little bit causing the blood to trickle down.
Leighanne gulped as she stared down at his chest.
"Drink Leighanne." Eric said as Leighanne kept staring.
"I'm getting to that, chill." She said as she leaned down and grimaced as she licked the blood from his chest.
Leighanne was shocked at how sweet and thick Eric's blood was. She bit down a little bit making Eric moan as she continued to move her tongue across his chest. When she thought that she had taken enough she stood up and looked at Eric who was smirking at her with his fangs extended.
Leighanne blushed a little as she walked back over to the bed and she picked up her bag. "Where's Pam?" She asked.
"I am much older than Pam so I can be awake during the day, but only for short periods of time." Eric explained as Leighanne nodded.
"I must go to ground. Get home safely okay?"
Leighanne nodded and quickly pushed past Eric who grabbed her and kissed her lips softly.
"See you later my Leighanne." He said when she walked out of the door and out of his sight.
~Merlotte's~
Daxton wiped the sweat off of her brow and loaded more dishes into her dishpan. She moved slowly to the next table when she felt a sharp pain in her head. She groaned in pain and dropped the pan to the floor.
"You alright sweetheart?" Sam Merlotte asked as he rushed to her side.
"Yeah just a headache is all." Daxton said with a little smile. "I think I am going to take my break now." She added as she picked up the dishes that she had dropped and ran to the bathroom.
She turned on the water and splashed some on her face before she looked at herself in the mirror.
She screamed as she saw her dark brown eyes were now bright blue.
"What in the world?"
