I don't own True Blood
What the hell was that?
That's what I thought while driving to the university. What the hell?
I usually speak my mind, yes. But this time is like something literally possessed me to feel the way I did. Because the problem is not what I said, is what I thought, the vicious, graphic and very powerful feelings that I still felt when I reached the university.
Talk about getting in touch with your emotions.
I entered the white house and find Hannah sitting in the couch reading Cosmopolitan. I would have freaked out a little when I saw which pages she was reading if I weren't already freak out about what happened at Sookie's.
And it was Kristen Bell on the cover. She's one of the few Kristens that I like.
I flopped down on the couch, right next to her.
"Something's wrong with me" I said.
She dropped her Cosmo and turn to look at me. "You're pregnant. I knew I shouldn't let you alone with Travis"
I turned to look at her sharply.
That was way unexpected
"Um no. That's not it. That's so not it" I'm bug eyed by this point.
"Sorry, living in a sorority and all, it gives me ideas" She smiled sheepishly.
"Also watching way too many Lifetime movies. I'm not going to get drunk in a frat party, have sex with the first guy I see, get knocked up and having to work in a brothel to maintain the little bastard"
"You mixed like, three movies there"
"Whatever. I still have my V card, see?" I take out of my purse an actual pink card with a black V on it.
When we went to our first mixer last year, Hannah made us two V cards in honor of our virginity (Hers wasn't going to last long), and have as a reminder of that precious gift that we could only give once.
Hannah is corny like that.
Anyway, when the time was right, we would rip in half our cards in representation of, well… when we get ripped? I don't know, Hannah said to represent the end of our innocence. But I'm not innocent, except for the fact that I'm a virgin.
Being a virgin is not the same thing as being innocent. Trust me, with the things I have thought and do (Not in the sexual way), I would make Maxine Fortenberry have a seizure.
Hannah took the card in her hands. "I can't believe you still have it"
"What can I say, I'm corny like that" I snatched the card back and put it in my purse. "I really need to talk to you. In private" I told her seriously.
She took the hint. "Alright" And led me to our room.
Once we were there, we sat on her bed and I started explaining what happened after I left for Bon Temps.
"And it felt awful, but really liberating. Like a weight was lifting off of me"
"Being mean to Sookie makes you feel better? I can't say I blame you, I don't really like her."
"You only met her twice" Once last year when I first enter Becquer and Sookie offer herself to accompany Jason, Dawn and me to unpack, and the next when I took Hannah and Tyler to Merlotte's so they could eat some real food.
"And I pick some weird vibes from her both times" Hannah says she can pick people's vibes and all that shit. It all started when she first saw The Craft, she told me. She started getting interested in wiccans and that kind of stuff. That changed when she entered college, because the only times I have seen her acting like a witch is on Halloween.
"Again with the vibes? I thought you were over that"
"It's a gift; I can't turn away from a gift. Besides, she kept looking at me like she knew what I was thinking"
"She did know what you were thinking. Telepath, remember?" Yeah, Hannah knows about Sookie. No secrets between us. I know Hannah won't tell anyone about Sookie's little secret.
"But I didn't know back then, it freaked me out" She grabbed a pillow and hugged it.
"What kind of vibes did you get from her?"
"The holier than you kind"
"Hannah…"
"I don't know, just weird ones"
"Did you see a light around here?" Maybe she has also seen that freaking light around Sookie and perceived it as a vibe.
"No, why, did you?"
"All the time, and with vampires, but black"
"A black light?"
"Aura"
"You can see auras?"
"Only with Sookie, and vampires."
"They're both supernatural" She agreed.
"What makes you think Sookie is supernatural?"
"She can read peoples minds and you see a light around her. Is either that or you've been doing acid."
"This is so fucked up. Seriously; vampires, shapeshifters, vibes, crazy emotions, groovy auras. What's next, witches and fairies exist too?"
"You forgot werewolfs, those could exist too"
"They do, Sam told me"
"You're life seems pull out of Passions"
"I hated that soap"
"Really, I thought it was entertaining"
I was about to argue how so not entertaining Passions was when my phone rang.
Light pink, dark pink, we make the boys heart sing.
"Hello?"
"Adrian, Is me Jason" He sounded agitated.
"Hi, what's up, everything alright?"
"Asked him if he man up" Hannah whispered. She also knows about the Jason and Amy drama
"Did you man up?"
"Yeah, I man up. But some shit went down"
"What kind of shit?"
"She killed Eddie"
I looked at Hannah, signaling with my eyes that I needed privacy. I know I said there are no secrets between us, but I don't think she needs to know about this.
I waited until she was out of the room.
The door clicked shut.
"What the hell Jason?"
"It happened so fast, I couldn't do anything to stop her!"
"I thought you said you man up!"
"I thought she was coming around!" Somehow, we couldn't stop screaming.
"She killed –"I started screaming. "She killed a vampire" I whispered into the phone. "That's some serious shit, you know?" I'm talking from personal experience, with the whole Bill thing.
I wonder what kind of punishment he is going to get.
Eric is probably enjoying the whole thing.
Okay, I'm not going to start thinking about him while talking to Jason about his vampire-killer girlfriend.
"What are you going to do now?" I asked him.
"I don't know, I was kinda hoping you would help me with that"
"Jason!" I could practically hear him cringe. "You're so going to break up with her, and you're going to get rid of the goo formerly known as Eddie"
"I don't know what to do. And how do you know about the goo?" He asked fully alert.
So I answered with my all time favorite. "I'm in college. And you're going to break up with Amy"
"I don't know if I can do that"
"Yes, you can. You've done it a thousand times, only this time is for a legitimate reason"
"I don't know how she'll react" He was agitated again.
"When you tell her the news, make sure she's not close to any sharp objects"
.
.
"Why are we doing this again?"
Hannah and I were in window shopping in this really nice street; seriously, this place was fancy.
"We already finished our homework, and we need to relax a little. Procrastinate, that's what college students do, you know?"
I looked at her pointedly. "You do realize I'm trying to find my sister's killer, right?"
"I don't want you to get obsessed; it could seriously affect your life"
"Are you worried about me?"
"Of course I'm worried about you, you're changing. There's something dark growing within you"
"Again with the aura thing?" She really needs to cool it.
"I feel that if you keep pushing yourself with Dawn's murderer, it will…" She trailed down, not because she didn't know what to say, but because she didn't want to say it.
"I will what?"
"You will loose yourself. You'll become a shell filled with vengeance"
That made me stop walking.
"I'm already filled with vengeance" As bad as it sounds, is all true.
"But you're still the same Adrian Green I met a year ago. And I like the Adrian Green I met a year ago, I don't want her to go away" She's not crying by the way, that would be too much.
"Trust me" She calmed down a little. "I'm going to be fine; I just need to find out who did it, to close that chapter in my life"
She gave me a look. "You want to kill him" I forgot I told her that.
"Like Sookie would let me" I said jokingly.
"Don't even start with her, you know how I get" Yes, I do know how she gets, that's why I brought her up. "Let's go into this store" She dragged me to this vintage clothing store one block away.
That's two dramatic conversations I've had today.
And I know Hannah may be right but, I have to find the murderer. I owe it to Dawn, Adele and all the other women he has killed.
"What do you think of this one?" Hannah asked me holding a light blue sundress.
"Not with your skin tone" I said and continue looking through the racks.
"Not all of us can be as pale as you and be able to wear this kind of colors" She said walking towards me.
I whipped my head. "I'm not pale!"
"Yes, you are"
"I'm not, I'm fair!" There's no possible way I can be pale, we live in Louisiana for god's sake. "Besides, you're tan; you think everyone is pale"
My cell ran again interrupting this very important discussion.
"They need to stop calling you" Hannah said.
"I know, Hello?"
"Adrian, is Sookie"
I turn to Hannah. "Is Sookie" I whispered. Hannah started cussing to herself.
She really doesn't like Sookie.
Shit, Sookie's still talking. "I wanted to call you until we got back and I was sure you calmed yourself"
"Okay, what did you find out?"
"His name is Drew Marshall, and I think the waitress I saw in his mind was his sister"
"He killed his own sister?"
"I'm not surprised at this point. We got someone to send a picture of him to Bon Temps"
"That's good" Then I remembered Bill. Because I can't think about Sookie without thinking about Bill. "Have you heard from Bill yet?"
"No, and I don't think I'll hear from him at all. I'm starting to think he isn't coming back. I mean he left with promise of no return…" I stop listening from there and started looking at the clothes again.
"What is she saying?" Hannah asked me.
"She's whining about Bill again"
"Hey!"
"Sorry, what did you said?"
"I do not whine about Bill" Guess I should have cover the speaker. "But I'm sorry if my life is too much for you to handle"
"Sookie, you're being hotheaded again. And I'm not Bill, so don't be complaining to me"
"Sorry, I'm just so stressed out"
"Well, you're not the only one. "
"I know this is hard for you, that's why I'm calling you, I don't want you to do something you'll regret."
"Like hooking up with a vampire, thus leading to going to a vampire bar owned by a freakishly tall dude who makes you work for him and on one of those occasions your vampire boyfriend killed another fellow vampire causing pretty much all the problems in your life?"
"You don't have to be a bitch about it"
"Sorry, but it's true. So, call me when you heard anything else or if Bill calls, so I'll have something to look forward"
"Alright. Remember, don't do anything you'll regret"
"And you remember, don't kiss Sam. I know it will crossed your mind, so don't do it"
She hang up.
I looked towards Hannah. "I need you to help me find out everything about Drew Marshall from Bunkie, Louisiana"
