Ugh,whereamI?A blinding light burns my eyes as I open them. I pick up my arm and drape it across my face. "Uhh, stupid light..."

"Sorry Sami." I heard Sookies voice.

"Sookie?"

"Yea its me, dont move too much. I am trying to clean you up a bit."

"I thought I was dreaming last night." I lay my head back down on the pillow.

"I still think I am dreaming. I cant believe you are here."

"Me either."

"Sami where were you?"

"Fearun. The water fairy Breandon took me, he gave me to his sick twisted lovers. They would 'play' with me. I have been through hell and back for the last ten years. I am surprised I am still alive."

"Me too. Sami, they did all this to you?"

"They have done much more, but they have healed some."

"Couldnt you control them?"

"No, they kept some kind of spell or something on me. I couldnt even make them twitch a finger. It was so frustrating!"

"I am just glad you are back and home."

"Me too." I closed my eyes and let Sookie wrap bandages around what cuts she could find and thought were bad. "Where's Gran, Sook?"

"She died, Sami." I was silent for a minute.

"Oh." I let a tear fall from my eye. I havent cried in years. "She in the cemetary?"

"Mhm. Beside grand-daddy. I will take you out to say good-bye if you want?"

"I would like that."

"There you go, all bandaged up."

"Thanks sis." I slowly sat up from the bed. I turned and hugged Sookie to me. "I have missed you so much. I have missed so much. You have to tell me everything. Hows Jason?"

"Jason is fine, he's actually working with Andy Bellefleur in the Sheriffs department. Hes

turning himself around."

"Wow, I certainly wasnt expecting that from him. What happened with football?"

"He hurt his knee. He cant play anymore on it."

"Sookie?" I heard a deep voice coming from the kitchen. Even though I have been gone ten years I remember this house. I dreamed of it everyday, came here everytime those evil things came to 'play'.

"In here Eric. Sami, there is someone I want you to meet." I seen Sookie's eyes light up. She was happy, because of this Eric person. I smiled at Sookie.

"Its nice to see you happy Sookie."

"Its that easy to see huh?" I just smiled at her.

"There you are, lover." A tall, blonde, man of a man walked into the room. He leaned up

against the door frame and gave Sookie a fangy smile. He's a vampire. Hmm...

"Wow Sook, you sure have quite the man there. Plan on keeping him?" I winked at her.

"Shottie." Sookie put her finger to her nose and stuck out her tongue. I fell backwards on the bed laughing. Sookie was laughing too.

"I have missed you so much Sook." I hugged her to me.

"And I have missed you. I thought you were gone forever." I let go of my sister and got up off the bed.

"Hi Eric!" I nodded my head to him and smiled. "I'm Samira, but please call me Sami."

"Pleasure is all mine." He smiled. The most amazing smile I have seen in a decade. "Do you think you are well enough to accompany Sookie and myself to my bar in Shreveport?"

"I dont have anything to wear."

"She is your sister, Sookie."

"We are Stackhouses." I smiled at him. "Could I have 15 minutes? And possibly an outfit Sook? I dont think I am too much different from you. Those fairys may have had their fun but I was still allowed to eat." I smile slightly.

"Yea sure Sami." I followed Sookie into Grans, well was Grans room. "My closet is there, take anything you need. You know where everything else is in the bathroom." I hugged Sookie to me.

"Thank you so much Sookie! I missed you so much. I dont know what would have happened if you werent here."

"Im just glad you are home." She huffed in my ear. "Im coming Eric!" She yelled over her shoulder. "Hes so impatient." She smiled at me.

"Youre bonded?" I had heard the fairies talking about bonding a long time ago. They can do it as well, but they are worse than Vampires when it comes to sharing their blood. From what I could gather anyways.

"Yea, just last night actually."

"Condrads, I guess. I know its a big deal. Well shower time. Wouldnt want to keep the big Viking waiting. He looks like he could kick some serious butt."

"You have no idea." She turned and walked down the hall.
