Hitting the info button down on the left of the website I looked for a phone number and quickly grabbing my cell. Trying to take a few breaths as I dialed the number waiting for someone to answer. A almost annoyed voice spoke into the phone "Fangtasia…this better be good…" I quickly inhaled and spoke as clear as I could. "hi my name is Anna I was looking on your website and saw that there was an opening for a job there" she seemed to stifle a laugh into the phone as I finished my sentence "are you sure you have the right number honey…well if you are interested then there is an audition in an hour. Be here or don't bother". My heart rate jumped, an hour, I better get my ass outta bed. "thank you ill be there." before I could finish my sentence she had already hung up the line.
Jumping up out of my bed I was happy that I had already showered and started looking for an outfit to wear. Not knowing what was really the dress code at that kind of place I picked out a black fitted dress with red cherries spotted around. The dress had a 50s cut to it and fit my body well. Grabbing some shoes and applying a decent amount of makeup on I looked in the mirror one last time. Happy with my appearance I snatched up my purse and keys. Thank god that Sookie was still out with Vampire Bill, I didn't feel like getting a third degree on where I was heading out at at 1130 at night.
The drive to the club hadn't been that bad. I had turned on some music in the car to get myself into the zone almost. I didn't know what I was walking into and my brain hadn't really caught up with that notion…well until I was sitting in the parking lot of Fangtasia hyperventilating not sure if this was such a good idea anymore. I sat there a couple of minutes slowing my breathing down until it was close to normal. It didn't take me as long as I thought it would to get there and I still had about twenty minutes till the 'audition'. stepping out of the car I brushed my dress down a little, taking a deep breath and started walking up to the entrance.
There were a few people in the line waiting to be let in. A woman was standing at the door looking like she would rather be doing something else was checking the Ids. Getting in the line it didn't take too long till I was standing right in front of the 'bouncer' woman. She gave me a forced smile and held out her hand to be. "Id…you alone tonight little girl?" I looked at her a little taken back by the question. She didn't give me a second as she looked at the name printed on the id. Looking back at me she raised an eyebrow at me smirking "Stackhouse…any relation to a Sookie Stackhouse?" I smiled back at her "yes she is my cousin and yes I am alone tonight. I called earlier about the opening for a job" the woman seemed to widen her smile even more handing me back the id. "well then what a nice surprise, I guess ill be seeing you in a little bit…oh and by the way" she said coming a little closer to my face releasing her fangs "stay safe long enough so we can get a good look at you…welcome to fangtasia". opening the door for me I walked in still giving her a small smile.
The club was dark, mostly decorated in black and red colors. It was about what I had expected a vampire club to look like (plus I did look at some of the pictures on the website before I came). I was still a little surprised at the many different kinds of people that where in here. There where the fang bangers of Corse then the Goths, the vampires themselves and then the tourists, they were mostly at the little gift shop in the corner. That made me laugh a little, I didn't see a fang banging, dark, vamp infested bar on the list on a family road trip.
Walking up to the bar I needed a drink if I was going to be able to keep my heart from exploding in my chest. I took an empty seat at the edge of the bar and looked for the bartender. Before I turned my head back in the other direction he was in front of me. "what can I get for ya, little human" he said trying his best to intimidate me. I will admit that it did work a bit but if I was going to get a job here I couldn't let that happen. Smiling back at him I tilted my head in thought "jack and coke thank you" I was digging in my purse for cash before I had it on the bar the drink was already in front of me. The vampire bartender took the bills and left. Taking a couple of sips of the drink I could feel the warmth going down my throat and making me relax after each gulp.
Since I had walked into the bar I had had a burning sensation on my back. Already feeling like I was a piece of meat walking in there I really wasn't surprised. Turning around finishing my drink I had began to feel even more at ease. I thought I would see who my 'admirer' was. Looking around the crowd I didn't really see anyone that was making any direct eye contact with me. Turning the other direction I took in a deep breath as I saw what it was that was piercing my body with their eyes. A blond man with beautiful blue eyes was sitting atop of a somewhat stage, his hair was short slicked back and he was wearing a shiver gray suit with a back buttoned up shirt under. I stood up out of my chair to get a better look as two surly looking girls approached him. They were offering themselves I guess making me laugh a little. The man didn't even break eye contact with me as he just waved the fang bangers away like they where just an inconvenience of his night making me laugh even more. Putting down my now empty glass and feeling like I might need another one, I felt a hand come up on my shoulder, it was the woman that was at the door earlier. "time for your interview and audition if you still are interested miss Stackhouse." I wasn't sure if I was still interested but I started to follow her anyway, why not I needed this job. Looking back at the man who had been staring at me since I walked in here, but her was gone. The woman walked into the back of the bar though a door that was labeled 'Employees Only'. No turning back now I thought as I followed her through.
