"Did you just do that?" She said in awe.

" Yeah im sorry, im such a freak."

" Heck no your not, that's incredible, all I can do is read minds."

" You read minds? That's amazing, I bet it gets in the way of your personal life though, huh."

" You have no idea, that's why im glad I cant hear my boyfriends thoughts, its so much easier."

" Your boyfriends a vampire?"

" Yeah how did you know?"

" They're built differently, like their brains are on a different signal."

The red haired woman came up to the table smiling, " Hey sook, since you covered for me last week, you can take off and ill close up, I know you don't get a lot of time with bill."

" Gee, thanks arlene! Tell your kids I said hi."

Arlene tucked a menu into her apron and walked away.

"Let me get a rag for that ketchup and tell sam im leaving, and I can show you around town and give you some company."

" Shoo don't worry about the ketchup, hold on." I closed my eyes and,almost in reverse, the glass and ketchup came together, and slid back to its original place. " No big."

" That's incredible." She said in awe. "Come on, ill introduce you to lafayette and sam.

I put my glasses away and picked up my purse, following sookie into the kitchen. I saw a pretty muscular black man with a do rag and some pretty sweet makeup.

" Girl you lookin good up in this hillbilly hell with them dior sunglasses and Oscar de la renta trench."

" Lafayette, this is Adrian, shes new to town."

I shook his hand " Nice to meet you. Bitchin makeup I might add."

" Might give you a lesson if you let me borrow those manolo's" He said lookin at my shoes.

" Sounds like a plan." I smiled and followed sookie to the back.

I caught a funny smell as I followed her into her bosses office. Figures, after all ive been through, after everybody and everything ive worked for, I always found trouble.

" Sam, im headin out early, arlene said she would close up for me."

He had shaggy hair, and a cute beard.

" Yeah, your welcome, do you want me drive you home, I can always shift and run ba-" He looked up and met my eyes.

"Let me guess, dog?"

" Um…Sookie, who is that?"

" This is adrian, shes new and she does the coolest thing she-Poo wait, is it okay if I tell him?"

I shrugged " I got no problem with it" I smiled and held out my hand. " Adrian Force, pleased to make your aquaintence, sam." I shook his hand and made his desk hover a few feet off the ground.

Sam: O.o

"And don't worry" I slung my hand over sookie's shoulder and gave it a squeeze. " I just found my new best friend, were gunna hang and have girly time."

" Yeah yeah, you two be safe."

" if anyone comes near us, ill just…make their heart move up into their head or something."

We turned around and walked into the parking lot.

" Can you actually do that?" sookie asked, an astonished look on her face.

I shrugged, " I dunno, I supposed I could If I focused really hard. Want me to follow you in my car?"

" Yeah his house is just up the road."

I followed sookie down the dirt roads to a huge old manor. Shutting the door to my car, I walked up to the stairs before the door, stuck my hands in my pocket and looked around.

"Nice Place."

" Yeah, I had to find people to fix the electricty and redo the bathrooms, and fix the plumbing, but other than that, it's a pretty neat place. It was his families."

I followed her up the steps and she let herself in.

" Sookie! What did I tell you about leaving work by yourself, I was going to come escort you. Its not safe."

" Don't worry! I met someone and we watched eachother's back."

I smiled and extended my hand. " Adrian. Im new."

" Pleasure to meet you,My names bill compton and thank you for looking after sookie."

" No prob, I think we dubbed eachother new friends."

I explained my little power to Bill and sookie in detail.

" Bill, we need to make sure Eric dosen't find out about her, he'll exploit her more than he does me."

" I agree, it is best if you try to keep your control and not let it become public knowledge." Bill said.

" Who's this eric person?"

"He is the sheriff of area 5, it's the type of gov-"

"Don't bother explaning, I know about the area..king/queen sherif blah blah"

" How?" Sookie asked me.

" Lets just say that I probably know more about vampires than even some vampires know about themselves."

I stayed there and talked with bill and sookie untill into the wee hours of the morning, But I still didn't feel comfortable spilling out my entire story. I told them that I had moved from new yok, getting sick of the hustle and bustle of city life and thought that lousiana should be a nice change. Bill took sookie home, and then escorted me back to my little house afterwords. I fed middy and changed into some pajamas, and colappsed on the plush sleeping bag.

This was all I needed. Friends. Fashion. And a cat that hogs the pillow. Screw my old life.
