Chapter 5
Cemeteries
BillPOV
I woke up feeling completely and utterly dried. My mouth was waxy and my hands felt like sandpaper. I opened my eyes and recognized the ceiling of my hotel room
at the Hotel Pantex. I looked around and saw a blurry outline of the television and the coffee table. My torso was covered in dried blood and my mind felt numb. This was the
closest to any physical pain I had felt since my transformation. I tried to lift myself off of the couch but collapsed back down. I groaned in frustration. What the hell is going on!
What happend. Suddenly I heard the door open and in walked the nameless vampire from the concierge desk downstairs.
"Hello there sir." she said holding a trya of blood. "I have brought your dinner," she said setting it down on the coffee table. "I tried to get in for the past three two days but you
were resting. It must have been a long journey." she said with a wide smile. Two Days?
"When did I check in?" I said flabbergasted.
"Two days ago." with that she left the room. I reached for the blood on the coffee table but then I heard Sookie's voice screaming "No." Instead, I grabbed three bottles of True
Blood from beside me and began to replenish myself. Relief surged through my body and I felt an urgency to finish my task and leave Romania. Something wasn't right.
Within an hour I was out of the hotel and walking to the North Side cemetery in pure moonlight. The cemetery was soundless, calm, and serene. I got to the center of the
cemetery and got to work. My "gift" is a deep feeling that begins in my stomach and winds its way to the tips of my hair. I focuses on the essence of innocence inside of any
living thing and pulls me near. When I first met Sookie, I was sold by the innocence that seemed to radiate off of her skin. I smiled at the memory, but recently I could feel the
innocence detereriating the more time she spent with Eric. I closed my eyes and began to concentrate shaking away my thoughts. I felt a pull in the pit of my stomach and
spread out my arms to better prepare myself. The pull became stronger and followed it with my feet. I walked until the pull tickled the back of my neck and then it
overwhelmed me. I looked down at the floor and my breath hinched. I was standing next to the grave of a six year old girl who's name was unknown. I bent down and touched
the grave and was taken into a vision. A little girl with matted blonde hair was walking down the street holding a doll. Rivers of tears streamed down her freckled face and her
bright blue were swollen.
"Mommy!" she screamed, it was very late and the girl was shaking from the cold. I stood there helplessly as a man that looked about forty grabbed her and told her he knew
where her mom was. It was obvious he was lying, but she was so young. so scared. He lead her into a dark clearing deep in the woods. He began to strip her clothes off. The
child tried to fight but he grabbed her neck and choked of her screams. Her eyes displayed all of her fear and the pull in my stomach tightend threateningly. Bloody
tearsbegan to stream down my face as I watched him take advantage of the girl and then leave her sprawled uncovered. He then pulled off a lock of her hair and walked
casually out of the woods. For what felt like hours, the girl lay in the snow naked and alone. Her breath came out in one last wheeze and she whispered "Mommy." I was
pulled out of the vision quickly. My entire body was shaking as I fell next to her grave and sobbed. Her name was Lily. Thats all I knew. I ran out of the cemetery as fast as I
could. I needed to get out.
I know this was an awful chapter but I needed you to understand his "gift"
It was hard to write.
