Chapter Five

The Turning

When I got back to my room I slammed the door so hard it flew off the hinges and landed flat on the floor. Fuck. I did not want to deal with hotel staff but it seemed I would have too. Taking out my cell phone I called the lobby, pacing back and forth across my room.

"Yes, I need my door replaced it seems to have fallen from the hinges."

"Of course ma'am someone will be right up."

I hung up the phone and continued pacing, this was ridiculous, he wanted to meet with me? Why? He obviously had no reason to speak to me; he had made it quite clear how pleased he was with that stupid bimbo. Why would he want to talk to me, furthermore why did he think I would want to talk to him? I had made it rather obvious I was angry, more obvious than I had intended and that stupid fucking smirk, as if he was pleased that I was hurt and upset by the imitation me. Bastard.

At least Pam had been a sight for sore eyes. She was exactly the same and it was refreshing to be able to speak with someone who had known me from my human days although a little strange. She had seemed to like me still, and that made me happy. Maybe we could continue our old friendship if that moron stayed out of it. And here I was thinking about him again, this was always the way it was, we always fought, had I glamorized our connection, the feelings I had had for him? How had I forgotten how completely infuriating he was?

"Sookie?"

Fuck I had forgotten Hunter was here. Shit fuck fuck fuck. "Yea!" I turned looking at him, I was in no mental state to make a child tonight but I knew it had to be done; it was after all the Queens orders. Pushing air past my lips I opened my mouth to apologize but was interrupted by the service man.

"Hello, I'm here to repair the door."

"Very well, get to it then. Come Hunter we can speak in the bedroom." With that I walked into my room, going to my closet. "Shut the door behind you." I called out to the repair man as I selected some sweats. There was no way that I was going to ruin this dress. It was hard finding vintage pieces that hadn't been ruined over the years. Stripping down quickly I pulled them on and walked out to see Hunter sitting nervously on the bed, it was obvious he could feel my mood but I didn't want him to be scared.

"I'm sorry, my emotions sometimes snatch control of me still." It was pathetic; Andre was always telling me that I had to get better control of them. The only consolation was that they rarely showed on my face I suppose. "Now I'm sure you have questions about your turning and we don't have much time so ask away."

"Okay." Hunter took a breath and seemed to brace himself; I made sure that the wall was up in my head. He deserved that much privacy; he would have little to none in the coming days. "Will I change? I mean, will I still be myself after I'm changed?"

"You will still be yourself but your emotions will heighten, you will have fewer less inhibitions." I paused thinking of my first days. "You will be ravenous at the start but I'll try to stop you from killing when you feed, of course it will take time but I should be able to control you with a makers command. Yes you will still be you but you will also be different."

Hunter nodded his head silently, probably mulling over what I had said.

"You said less inhibitions, what does that mean?"

This was the awkward part and I cleared my throat needlessly and looked down at my hands. "You will probably want to mate with everyone you feed from, but most of all you will try to mate with me, its natural as I'm going to be your maker, but I'll deflect you onto the person you're feeding from. Unfortunately you will not be allowed to be by yourself." Hunter opened his mouth and I put up a hand. "No, you can't be left alone; you will have a new strength and will not know how to control it. It's embarrassing for you but surely you don't want to kill someone why trying to have sex with them."

I looked over and saw that his cheeks were red. Yes the situation would be uncomfortable for both of us. Although I had gotten over my shy nature of being nude in front of anyone it was still awkward to watch someone else engaging in sex for me. Andre said it was a foolish notion to hold onto but regardless my mind hadn't changed.

"I understand." I didn't think he did but he would, later. I would not let him go through the first years without guidance like I had. "Will it hurt?"

His voice was small, quiet, I could tell he was embarrassed about being scared but it was natural especially since he had time to ponder his turning. "Yes and no. It will be like falling asleep slowly, as if your body was going numb. I don't remember much of being turned, as it happened so fast but I do remember being scared thinking of it, it is natural Hunter do not be ashamed of that." I reached over and took his hand holding it between my two cool ones. I smiled softly and squeezed gently. "Now a question for you, do you have any preferences in bed mates?" His face reddened instantly and I couldn't help but chuckling. "I need to know, I'm sorry it's awkward. Also your clothing sizes and preferences, I assume you are a T-shirt and jeans kind of guy?"

"I like blondes and brunettes, petite preferably but it doesn't really matter does it?" He sounded so disheartened that I squeezed his hand again. "I like jeans and t-shirts yes, I enjoy silk as well. I'm a size 34 in jeans and a large in shirts."

I nodded my head and tugged him up from the bed, sitting against the headboard I pulled him between my legs as I settled his back against my front. "I am going to bite you and drain you as quickly as I can, then I'm going to feed you my blood. You will die but reawaken as a vampire in three night's time. I will be here waiting for you. Are you ready?"

All I received was a stiff nod, he was as rigid as a board against me but there was nothing I could do about that. There was no way to relax him so instead I struck, my fangs sinking smoothly into his skin. He tasted delicious and I couldn't help the moan that escaped my mouth, not because I was attracted to him but because he was that good. I was finished faster than I thought I would be and I was completely stuffed. Quickly biting my wrist I put it to his mouth, it took a minute but he quickly started gulping, I wasn't exactly sure how much I was supposed to give him but I figured the more the better right? I opened my wrist again and let him drink until I felt him go limp. Well I suppose all I had to do now was wait.

Gently I picked him up from the bed and brought him over to my coffin, it was a beautiful cheery wood, the inside lining was black silk and I had a white cashmere blanket inside, I gently placed him down and arranged him on his side. I would sleep at his back tonight and the next night no matter what Sophie said traditions were traditions for a reason, even if I did get up during the night tomorrow I would slumber there. Leaving the lid open I retrieved my phone from my purse and sent out the emails on the things I'd found out about the pets to the appropriate vampires, it would have been easier if they had just come to the readings of course, but whatever.

I walked into the living room leaving my door ajar, even though I had done everything right I was still nervous that Hunter might call out or something, sitting on the couch I turned on the TV and stared mindlessly at it until I felt the pull of dawn.

I did not see Pam the next night and the readings were just as tedious as the night before, maybe even more so because I didn't have Hunters amusement at the pets and donors to distract me. Every time I saw Eric I made sure to appear to be busy which was easy because I usually was. I did not want to talk to him; frankly I couldn't imagine what he would have to say to me. I suppose he was keeping Pam away from me as well, although I had never thought him spiteful. I shopped to my heart's content, Hunter could never accuse me of not dressing him well, I even bought him a beautiful classic mustang, and he seemed the type of guy to enjoy classic muscle cars.

Cars had gone to shit in the twenty years I'd been dead, most of them ran on electricity these days, and muscle cars were a thing of the past, gas guzzlers that they were. All the cars were small and compact and if you wanted to drive a nice fast car from my time it had to be switched to electric despite the fact that it slowed it slightly, there were some new designs that were coming out though that caught my eye, beautiful cars that resembled the Challenger and Chargers that had been new when I was alive. I knew I was keeping myself distracted, and once Hunter rose I wouldn't have time to sit around and brood about Eric and our past relationship.

Flowers were sent to my room that night, they looked like vaginas and I remembered receiving similar ones when I'd been in the hospital as a human. I threw them down the garbage chute, he could send me all the flowers he wanted it, it didn't change the fact that he had gotten a mindless copy of me. I wouldn't be surprised if he had bought her breasts for her the asshole. I had seen them in the ballroom, she was dressed like a prized peacock and had smirked at all the other pets in the room like she was something special, I had had to leave immediately before I did something rash like snapping her stupid head off.

The queen was not sympathetic towards my feelings at all and had given me a lecture about being rude as she had been speaking to another monarch, I had said nothing back to her because it was true, I had simply left without thinking about the consequences. That had been last night, tonight my time was my own, as Hunter was rising and I had finished up with all the donors and pets. The rest of the time at the summit would be devoted to my child as it should be and I was happy that at least Sophie Anne acknowledged that. There was only four more days to it and I was hoping to attend the fashion show at the end so I knew I needed to work with Hunter before then.

As it was I was curled around Hunters back, although he was taller than me I held him firmly, he would probably be disoriented when he awoke and I didn't want him running off. I had three blond petite donors in the next room that had all signed waivers stating they knew they would be feeding a newly risen vampire and that their life might be at stake. Their stupidity in signing was nothing but a benefit to me, and I was sure that Hunter wouldn't even realize they were what he had described until after feeding and fucking but I hoped he'd be pleased that I had made sure to match his preferences.

I felt a stirring in my arms and tightened my grip, no longer having to worry about hurting him. He moved his legs first, slowly then his arms and then his head. Had I been this sluggish when I awoke? I couldn't remember. He turned his body and I let him, he looked at me with his fangs already down, I could see the hunger in his eyes and was surprised that I could feel it also, not only through the awakened bond but from his head. Huh, that was interesting; I had assumed we'd lose the ability to speak telepathically once he was a vampire.

"Sookie."

"Hunter, how are you feeling?"

He was quiet for a moment and I felt him moving each of his body parts as if assessing them. "Hungry, it's loud as well."

"Loud?"

"Yea, it's like drums, and a whooshing."

I laughed lightly, he was hearing the donor's heartbeats, perfectly normal thank god. "It's the donors, would you like to feed?"

No sooner than I'd asked he was pushing up the lid of the coffin so hard it bounced on the hinges almost closing again before I caught it, he was looking at his hand as if he'd never seen it before and I laughed again letting go of his waist and grabbing his hand.

"New strength remember?"

He nodded his head and smiled at me, it was weird comparing his smile with fangs to his smile without them but it was still his smile. I leaped out of the coffin bringing him with me; I could tell he was eager because he was trying to pull me through the door. I laughed again and stepped into the living room. His need was pushing at me so intensely that I felt my fangs drop, but I managed to restrain myself from attacking the donors.

They were all swallowing nervously and fear poured off them. I could hear that at least two of them regretted signing that waiver but it was too late now. "I'm going to show you how to bite OK?" He nodded his head quickly as I stepped up behind the first donor. "Tilt her head to the side, do you see the artery?" He nodded again, his fangs extending even more and he slightly nicked his lip. "Bite down gently if you can, your fangs will slide in easily so there's no need for a lot of pressure." He nodded his head again and I stepped back letting him take up my position.

He did as I had told him, tilting her head and finding the artery easily, his hand was wrapped around her waist, but too tightly. "Hunter ease up on the pressure of your arm." As I said it I felt a foreign power flow through me, a maker's command I supposed and I saw him do what I said, he was drinking now and I counted the swallows after five I made him stop. His hunger was still as great as it had been, and was still pushing at me.

"The next one, same process." He certainly didn't need to be told twice and as he snatched the second one I couldn't help but wince, I quickly moved to stand in front of him to make sure he stopped. After another five swallows I told him to stop again, he resisted for a moment so I pushed more power into to my voice. "NOW." He complied this time and quickly discarded the donor moving to the next, I could feel his hunger abating slightly which was a relief, but another was awakening, I didn't even need to tell him to stop drinking, instead he stopped himself.

He turned to me, there was blood running down from the corner of his mouth, his pupils were completely dilated and as he looked at me I felt his lust hit me, more strongly than I had expected he took a step towards me but I stepped back and grabbed the donor and shoved her towards him. I would not be having sex with my little cousin, definitely not, but I would have to be going to find a donor as my own hungers had raged with his own. Mine could wait though.

"Go ahead."

It was awkward to say the least, I tried to watch as little as I could, instructing him only when I could tell he was gripping her to hard. Her clothes were nonexistent after the first second, it wasn't pretty or sensual, it was primal and needy but I have to say that he still made sure she enjoyed herself. I'm pretty sure that the whole floor knew she had enjoyed herself actually. I was relieved when it was over and sent the donors away with a hearty tip. Hunter was still laying on the couch his clothing nothing but tatters on him. I walked over and leaned on the arm and crossed my arms smirking.

"So?"

"It was wonderful and weird at the same time. I never thought I would have to relearn having sex to be honest."

I laughed, sitting on the arm and pushing his feet off the end of the couch. "Yes well, being a new born is nothing if not eye opening."

"Thank you." He said startling me. I looked over and raised an eyebrow. "For you know, not letting me hurt any of them, especially the last one. I didn't realize how easy it would have been to crush her before I woke up."

I nodded my head. Yes crushing a human body was easy, it was devastating though to come back from blood lust and see that you'd crushed someone's ribs or other body parts.

"You're welcome." I rose and beckoned for him to follow me. I threw open the closet door and gestured for him to walk in. "Your clothes are on the right, mine are on the left, you have jeans and t-shirts to your heart's desire, I tend to stick to vintage brands from when I was alive but you will be allowed to shop for yourself over the internet of course, but I tried to get everything I thought you might need."

He was walking down the line of clothes running his hands over the different textures; well I remember how different everything felt. I could hear how astounded he was at all the clothes, but I didn't think it was that much. It made me eager to show him my surprise later on.

"Thank you." It seemed that I'd be hearing that a lot in the coming days. "Thank you for all the thought you put into this, I mean it really, I didn't expect half of this from my mother's description of you."

I nodded but couldn't help but fuming silently, he looked at me strangely though and I remembered the bond, damn it. I tried to close it slightly and got a scared glance for it from Hunter. "Sorry, it's just Hadley never liked me as I might have mentioned, but I'm happy you like everything."

Andre was finally going to be pleased, it seemed that I needed to control my emotions; it seemed I wouldn't be able to completely shut the bond either and that worried me. "Hunter did you feel me less a moment ago?"

"Yea, it seemed like you got farther away, sorry."

"Don't be sorry, you have to let me know how you feel, if something's affecting you badly I need to know so I can change it. But I will have to close off the bond when I feed, or else it might put you into blood lust when I am not able to stop you."

"I get it; it just felt weird, like there shouldn't be any distance between us."

"I understand, but there will have to be some." Of course if we hadn't been related it would have been easy to just feed together but I didn't want to tempt that shaky balance, I was young enough that my inhibitions still disappeared sometimes.

"Okay." He sounded so forlorn I thought about reconsidering but no, I needed to set limits for him because I doubted he'd be able to do it right now, and he'd probably feel horribly after the fact.

I sighed. "Get dressed and look around, I'm going to go and get a donor, do not leave the room no matter what."

Hunter nodded and I left him, running his hands over a silk shirt. Maybe I should have put that as a command? But I didn't want to use it unless I had to. I knew firsthand how painful a makers call could be. Instead of taking the elevator I sped down the stairs, bursting into the lobby, I didn't even look around, instead heading straight to the donor pen. I looked around for Frederick and quickly pulled him into a private room. I shoved him down onto the lounge, this would have to be as quick as possible, already my fangs where down and I was wet.

Kissing him I ran my hands down his chest, ripping his shirt down the middle, he was already hard and pressed against me, I remembered to shut the bond before I tore his pants off, if feeling Hunter feed and fuck had enflamed me then it would certainly do the same for him. I stripped quickly, and mounted Frederick claiming his mouth for a kiss. He was groaning under me as I moved and his hands gripping my hips, I kissed my way down his neck as he bit my shoulder and I couldn't stop the moan from coming out, it seemed to echo in the room as I grinded harder against his pelvis. He flipped us and was in control, now running his hands over my nipples, tweaking them before bending and laving them with his tongue never losing the hard rhythm I had started. He bit down on my nipple as I heard the door open, I moaned again and clutched his hair, feeling the warm coil of my orgasm building as I looked up towards the door.

Eric was standing there staring at what we were doing, his fangs fully extended, I ignored him. He had a pet; surely he knew that I would be having sex with other people? I could feel Frederick tensing up, a sure sign that he was about to come, I bit his neck as he thrust and felt him go as I toppled over the edge myself, I drank more than I should have but when I was finished Eric was gone thankfully. I pushed Frederick off of me where he had collapsed, he would live but I wouldn't be able to feed from him again for a couple of days.

"Thank you Frederick, you shouldn't feed anyone for a couple of days though." I knew for a fact that he only fed me and couldn't help but smirk as he waved a hand uselessly. I dressed quickly and shut the door behind me as I left.

"Sookie." I spun around, shock written all over my face. Fuck, I so didn't have time to deal with him right now.

"Eric."

"I'm sorry for bursting in on you." Yeah right, he looked real sorry. "I didn't expect to see that."

"Yes well a girl has their appetites; surely you didn't think I didn't fuck?"

I smirked at him, it was petty of me but I wanted to hurt him. In a way I was happy he had seen that I wasn't moping in my room despairing over the fact that he had a fake me, that he had hurt me.

"No of course not, but I was hoping we could talk, I've been trying to speak with you." He looked hurt, for a moment then he was back to his normal stoic self, why couldn't he ever let me in? Let me see how he really felt? It had always been a problem, for whatever reason he had never been able to vocally tell me that he cared for me, always expecting the bond to let me know.

"Of course, but not right now, I have a pressing matter I need to see to in my room." I opened the bond back up and a wave of hunger enveloped me once again staggering me, I put my hand up against the wall bracing myself. How was he so hungry already? Had I been that thirsty? "I'm sorry Eric, but I have to go." I turned looking around the room for a petite brunette or any pretty woman really as I moved to grab one I felt Eric grab my arm.

"Sookie we need to speak, I know you're angry at me and I'm sorry you feel that way but I'd really like to explain."

I tugged on my arm but he didn't release me, I turned hissing. "You need to let me go."

Eric shook his head, his face hard. I suppose that he didn't understand how urgent it was for me to leave but still, he was being really rude. "Sookie you can't keep running from me."

"I know!" I exclaimed completely fed up. "I'm not running I really do have to be somewhere urgently." I tugged on my arm again but he still wasn't letting go and I could feel Hunters rising hunger and was he getting closer?

Just as I glanced at the door he burst through it, moving immediately towards the first human he saw, he pounced and I tugged at my arm again finally freeing it. I moved quickly over to him and gripped his arm but he snarled at me trying to push me away as he crouched over his prey.

"Hunter, stop." I could feel my makers command pulling at him but he didn't stop so I pushed more, he gave a low moan but still didn't stop. It was chaos around me; donors were screaming and running from the room shouting for guards that would be to slow. Why wasn't he listening to me?

"Get his attention; it will work better when he's looking at you."

I moved in front of Hunter and crouched trying to catch his eye, the man he was clutching was going purple from lack of air, finally I caught Hunters eyes. "Hunter I command you, stop this instant." As simple as that he dropped the guy and stood up straight, he leaped at me clinging to my arms biting down my neck, pulling at my clothes; I pried his hands from my clothes, ripping them in the process. "Hunter no, you don't want this."

I looked around and caught a fleeing redhead, tugging her and Hunter both into a private room. Hunter was rubbing against me still and I wedged the girl in between us, he was on her in an instant, ripping his own and her clothes off, shoving into her and pushing her onto the lounge, I kneeled in front of him, telling him when to lighten his grip, when to stop feeding. I couldn't help but sigh in relief when he came with a shout. He collapsed again and I looked the girl over, she would be horribly bruised and wouldn't be able to donate any blood for awhile but at least she was alive. I sent her from the room and watched Hunter; he was slowly coming back from his blood lust, looking around the room.

"How did I get here? I was in the room, I'd just gotten dressed, I felt hungry but I thought I had it under control but then it was suddenly like I was swamped, like I needed to feed immediately."

Fuck. This was my fault it seemed, my control must have slipped when I came. Shit shit shit. "I'm sorry Hunter; I should have been paying more attention to the bond."

"That was you? You were feeding?" He asked hesitantly and I nodded looking down at my hands. "It's OK; you've never done this before either. Sorry for leaving the room."

I laughed; it was either that or cry. It seemed I couldn't even control my child properly, what the fuck had Sophie been thinking me being a maker while I was still so young. I put my head in my hands, I didn't want to fail Hunter, I wanted him to be strong, to be an amazing vampire, I didn't want him to struggle as I had.

"You did well."

I whirled staring. Eric had apparently followed me into the room and I hadn't heard him. How had he known what I was thinking? "Thank you, but why are you here?"

"I thought you might need more help." He said shrugging and I stared down at my hands again. Had it been so obvious I was in over my head? "I'm sorry I delayed you, truly I had no idea you had a child."

"Uh, Sookie do you have anything to cover up with? It's kind of weird seeing you half nude." Hunter asked, I glanced down at myself and swore under my breath. My shirt was ripped across my chest and the seams of my pants had let go as I pried his hands off me. I sighed and gave in to the fact that we would both be walking back to the room exposed. How humiliating.

"I could retrieve some clothes from your room for you."

I looked over at Eric and nodded my head. I could feel my eyes welling and I quickly looked down at my lap. I did not want him to see me cry, it would be even more humiliating for him to see me like that. I heard him leave but I didn't look up, I didn't want to look at Hunter, I had almost failed my promise to make sure that he didn't kill anyone.

"Really Sookie, this wasn't your fault." Hunter said, perhaps trying to make me feel better.

"Of course it is, I'm your maker Hunter, I'm supposed to be in control but apparently that's not happening."

I felt his love and gratitude through the bond but it did nothing to lift the guilt I felt. This was not how I saw this happening, I had spent hours shopping for him and had thought I was prepared with the donors in the room but I had not anticipated how greatly my own appetites would affect him. I suppose I could go to Andre and ask for help but he had never asked Sophie for help when he made me. He had also been over a thousand years old and in complete control of his own hungers and emotions.

"Sookie, really you stopped me, I didn't kill anyone and that's what matters right?"

I nodded, he was right really, but there would be gossip about us going around for a long time now, which I didn't want. I turned as the door opened, thankfully it was only Eric.

"Here are your clothes, and I must say your fashion sense has improved Sookie." The bastard was smirking. I wanted to claw his eyes out.
