Chapter 7
Sweat.
I woke up covered in it. It was a dream. I should have been grateful that it was only a dream, but I couldn't help but have a sudden urge to make it come true. I sat up from the couch and looked to see Eric still sleeping. What time was it anyways? I slowly got up and looked around to find the time, and finally found my phone. It was 6pm. Only 2 more hours until the vampires would wake. I definitely needed a cold shower after the dream I just had. The water rushing down my body felt amazing. It gave me a chance to think as well. What the hell was I thinking all the way away from home with a crazy vampire? It seemed like the stupidest idea ever after I considered it. I couldn't really back out now, and the money I was getting from this was all worth it. After the shower I decided to do what I was here for. I decided to practice this strange gift I had. I sat on the couch and slowly started practicing moving things with my mind. I guess I practiced for longer than I thought, because that is when I heard Eric's voice.
"I see you're awake." He said.
I stopped what I was doing and turned to look at him.
"For a few hours it seems. I'm still getting use to vampire time."
"Well I'm glad to see you're up and ready. We will be leaving soon." He said standing.
"To see Sookie right?" I asked. I couldn't help but have bitterness in my voice.
"Actually yes, but we will be going undercover to a bar that the Weres hang out at and try to go undetected." He said going through his suitcase.
"What do you mean undercover?" I asked seriously confused by all this.
"You will be wearing this. You may send you're thanks to Pam." He said grinning and showing me a long blonde wig with short leather shorts and a leather corset to match.
"Oh hell no I am not wearing any of that shit. I will look like damn biker Barbie on crack." I said shaking my head.
"15,000 dollars sound right to you?" He said shoving the outfit at me.
"You better be glad you're paying me." I said angrily walking into the bathroom to change.
As I came out I literally looked like I said I would. A biker Barbie on crack. It was also horrible because I couldn't breathe from how tight the outfit was. My head itched like crazy from the wig. And I could barely walk in the leather go-go boots. I looked stupid, and from the look on Eric's face he didn't agree.
"I guess I should be the one thanking Pam." He said grinning.
I was about to say a smart ass remark, but then I got distracted by the hot pink spandex he was wearing. I couldn't help but die laughing. He looked like an idiot. Like a vampire idiot. It was amazing. I had never thought I would see him look so flamboyant, and I was grateful I had.
"I take it you like the outfit." He said looking at me.
I was rolling on the floor by this point.
"Oh my gosh what the hell are you wearing?" I said through the tears of laughter.
"I figured it was a good costume." He said seriously.
"Yeah for like my friend Connor or his boyfriend." I said still laughing.
"Well I guess it will work then won't it." He said.
And with that he lead the way out the door.
I walked through the Were bar shocked at the things I saw. It straight up looked a like a biker redneck bar. If any outsiders came in here they would think it was any other shithole. I knew different of course, but it didn't make this shithole any different.
"So what am I suppose to do?" I said through the wild blonde hair I had.
"Act like you fit in and keep your eye on Sookie." Eric said.
"That would be fine if I knew where the hell she was." I growled.
"She right there. With the red hair." Eric said pointing across the bar.
"Holy hell she looks cheap." I said suddenly.
"Look at you." Eric said then walking away.
"Well you look gay!" I screamed after him, but all I saw was his hand go up. Asshole. I decided if I was going to have to become a bodyguard I might as well drink while doing it. I walked up to the bar in my cheap getup and order a vodka and cranberry.
"What's a babe like you doing alone at a place like this?" The creepy bartender asked me.
"Because I'm tired of dogs." I said trying to be funny. I doubt he caught the humor in it.
"Well how about after my shift I show you a good time?" He asked leaning close to me.
I decided to lean in as well.
"I'm a lesbian." I whispered.
"I'm down." He said winking.
"I'm not." I said walking away.
And with that he grabbed my arm.
"I wasn't done talking to you." He growled.
I stared into his eyes.
"You don't have to be done, because I'm done asshole. So take your nasty ass paws off of me. Got it?" I said keeping my eyes glued to his.
"Yes ma'am." With that I walked away.
I ended up running into a trashy red head. Surprise it was Sookie.
Oh my gawd is that you Kimber?" She whispered in my ear.
"Yes it's me and you look like a dirty whore by the way." I said whispering back.
"You ain't much different in the way you look." I couldn't help but smile at that remark.
"So what are we finding out?" I asked.
"I haven't found out to much and they have nothin' but dirty thoughts surrounding their heads. They also keep thinkin' about vampire blood." She said.
"Go figured. So what about Alcide?" I asked.
"He's been a big help, but he's been at that table mopin' around over his ex over there." She said pointing to some nasty thing that I couldn't even describe as a person.
"That's his ex?" I said shocked.
"Oh yeah and she's a huge bitch." Sookie said.
"Yeah well she looks like a rock." I said still in shock.
"Yeah well he's just been sittin' there makin' himself sick over her."
"I'll stop that." I said walking away from Sookie.
Alcide was gorgeous, and there was no way I was going to let him mope over some washed up rag. I slowly walked over to him and sat in his lap. He looked at me shocked, and I knew he didn't know who I was.
"It's me Kimber. Play along." I whispered.
And with that I started making out with him. Oh lord and he was an amazing kisser. I figured he would pull away, but no he just kept sticking his tongue in my mouth and I was totally fine with that. We kept going, but my mind couldn't help but flash back to Eric and wishing it was him I was kissing. What the hell was wrong with me? I was sitting here making out with a gorgeous man beast…literally and I kept thinking about a cold dead vampire. This was not normal, and I was starting to think I needed serious therapy. Suddenly someone was throwing me away from Alcide and I looked up to see the Ex who was furious. Mission accomplish.
"What the hell Debbie?" Alcide screamed coming to help me stand.
"That bitch has no right to touch you." She screamed.
"No bitch you are wrong. You have no right to him and no right touching me." I said looking straight into her eyes.
"You don't wanna mess with me bitch." She yelled.
"No bitch you don't want to mess with me." I said back.
"Pain." I said staring at her and putting all my concentration into her.
All the sudden Debbie started screaming while crumbling to the floor. I never lost my focus.
"What the hell are you doing to me?" She screamed.
Everyone was staring. I didn't care though, because I had built up anger and I wanted her to die. Suddenly I was being pulled out of the bar by Eric.
"What the hell are you doing?" I screamed.
"You just made a serious mistake." He growled.
As I was about to speak I turned to see a pack of wolves behind me. They looked very pissed off.
Oh hell.
