Ch 10
A half an hour later Sookie and Bill came walking through the backdoor looking less then thrilled to be at Fangtasia. To Kerrie's surprise Sam Merlotte walked in a few moments later looking extremely pissed. Eric came walking into the bar and he motioned for the group to come over to where Kerrie was setting up.
"I don't want to waist your time, something happened last night. A maenad was spotted in Bon Temps." Sookie looked confused as Sam took a deep breath. "She requested a meeting with us tonight. I wanted the three of you to know since she was in the area of your houses and she may go to your bar next."
"Why would she want Kerrie to go to a meeting?" Bill asked.
"Beats me, Chow says she was outside of Sookie's house and left during the time I was doing the protection spell. I doubt she's worried about me."
"What is a maenad?" Sookie asked.
"Followers of the Greek god Dionysus. They like offerings of wine and money to keep them happy." Sam said looking at the ground.
"You know her?"
"I've met her. Her name is Callisto." Eric walked away from the group hands clenched in a fist. "Most likely she wants a profit from the bar." Sam said as Eric started muttering phrases in Old Norse that only Pam seemed to understand.
"Ok, if you know her then Eric just needs to give her what she wants and she'll leave him alone right?"
"Maybe, she's a hard woman to bargain with."
"Eric you need to calm the hell down. I'm not going into a meeting with an ancient with you being pissed off." Eric gave Kerrie a cold stare as she turned and put her hands out. "Don't you dare think you can scare me." Kerrie said as a large flame appeared in her palm.
"Should you two be fighting like this?" Bill said hoping to distract the two of them.
"I won't go then." Eric said before turning and walking into his office. Sookie jumped when she heard the door slam.
"Your the only human that could ever get away with that." Pam said with a smirk before going after Eric.
"I'll go with you." Sam offered.
"I don't want to inconvenience you. Tonight's a full moon and I'm sure-"
"I can go in my other form. At least you won't be alone."
"What the heck are you two talking about?" Sookie said as Bill took a step back.
"Sookie, I'm a shifter." Sam said after a few moments of silence.
"What the heck is a shifter?"
"A shape shifter, every full moon I need to change. I can also change when I choose-"
"Like a werewolf?"
"No, werewolves are filthy-" Sam stopped mid-sentence.
"Go ahead, I agree they are filthy dumb animals. I wish my son wasn't one."
"Declan's a werewolf?"
"His dad was a were. I guess my abilities allowed him to become one instead of being a normal person."
"This is too much for one night. Bill, did you know?" Reluctantly Bill nodded.
"We can sense other supes."
"We need to go. I can't be here right now." Sookie said turned and hurrying out the backdoor with Bill not far behind her.
"She took that better then most."
"You've known all along then?" Sam said sitting at the bar.
"Yea, I always knew Declan's dad was different. Once I saw him change I could tell by looking at someone's aura if they were a shifter."
"I need to go. My car is in the lot. I'll meet you by it when the bar closes."
"Thanks." Sam forced a smile and walked out the backdoor.
