All Hell Breaks Loose

Chapter 36: Life in the Fast Lane

"She doesn't know but thinks it's bad?" Sookie asked after Arlene had told her the news she received from Holly. "That is not going to help us."

"No it's not," Arlene agreed. "But we do know it is a spell. She is positive about that."

"I wonder who wanted to turn Patrick into their puppet," Sookie asked. "or why."

"I have no idea. All I know is some witch is using Patrick as a tool to get to Terry. How am I supposed to tell him? 'Hey sweetie your friend is under a spell and I think he is a danger to us and the kids?' That won't really work now will it?"

"I don't know what to say. I could still pretend to date him to keep him from you until we find out the truth."

"I'm not going to ask you to do that," Arlene said and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll find away to keep Terry occupied and not be alone with him."

"We'll do what we can."

They both returned to their lane where both men were laughing about some joke or funny memory from their time in the military.

"You can stop talking about us now," Arlene announced to them.

"Hey Arlene," Terry said as he picked up his plastic cup. "Patrick invited me to this little get together this weekend. You don't mind if I go?"

"You can't go," Arlene said and put her hands on her hips. "I promised my mother we'd visit this weekend. Don't you remember?"

"You did?" Terry asked as he raised his eyebrows.

"'Course I did. You were watching the game when I told you."

"Ah crap," Terry said and slapped the side of his head. "I'm sorry, dear. Sorry Patrick I forgot about those plans."

"That's okay," Patrick said. "Maybe another time." Bring him to me.

Sookie took a step back. The second voice was loud and clear for that brief moment before it faded back to the distant mumbles she usually heard and the voice was female.

"Sookie?" Arlene had noticed how scared she was.

"I'm fine," Sookie said. "Lets just finish this game."

London, England

The room service had delivered much to Pam's delight. She brought in the stainless steel covered dishes. The first had a bottle of Auricle Delight and the second had a small bottle of strawberry bubble bath and blood scented oil bath pearls. This was what she needed after being cooped up for nights. Her only entertainment besides the television was to listen to Hailey describer her days out. She had tried a few of the night clubs and bars and she just finished a threesome with some gal and guy who she already had forgotten the names of.

"It was real good tea," Hailey said as she sat on the couch and nibbled on some of the authentic English toffee she bought. "I never really drink hot tea and never English breakfast tea, although this one was infused with a bananas foster flavor."

"I think there might be a tea shop in Shreveport," Pam said as she ran her bath. She had only returned from her little sexcapade an hour ago and was in a good mood, the good mood was made even better when her roommate was taking a nap, but now she had woken up and returned to her usual evening report.

"I never thought to look," Hailey said and shrugged. "Those little sandwiches were good. I've had egg salad and type of cheese spread before but never cucumber sandwiches. Those scones were fresh baked and the cupcakes and cream puffs were so good."

"You never been out of the country," Pam had guessed as she added a couple capfuls off bubble bath to the water.

"Not even to Mexico. I've been to several states. My daddy took me to see Mount Rushmore even."

"Hailey dear, I'm not even in the slightest mood to feign interest in your tourism." She dropped in a small handful of pearls.

"Well excuse me for actually enjoying your native city," Hailey said and placed her hands on her hips. "Why don't you go out and have some fun?"

"Nothing here really excites me." She let her robe slide off her naked body before she stepped into the tub. "Except for a few flings.

"Sometimes you have to make your own fun. You can try one of the local pubs, look for some fangbangers to let you suck from them."

"I have been doing that" She removed the cap from the bottle and took a sip. Tru Blood was an import and the U.K has it's own local brands including Auricle Delight. It was advertised as the drink that tasted like it came freshly squeezed from a human heart and after trying it Pam had to agree. It was much better than Tru Blood.

"I'm going to watch some more Doctor Who reruns and some of this Torchwood. It's nice to watch the episodes before it reaches Syfy."

Pam tried to ignore her but the hybrid wouldn't shut up.

"Pam are there such things as time lords?"

"No," Pam said and took a sip. "Unicorns don't exist either."

"Too bad," Hailey said with a sigh. "I wonder if the doctor would even think about taking a human succubus hybrid as a companion.

Pam rolled her eyes and took another sip. "Hailey take a note for Fantasia. We will see to ordering some Auricle Delight. It will be costly, but worth every penny, especially with how we will charge it."

"Got it."

Pam closed her eyes and sank deeper into the tub and into bliss while she slowly sipped from her bottle. Her few minutes of pure bliss was cut off when she heard a phone go off.

"Pam it's for you," Hailey sang out. "It's from Steve."

"Bring it to me," Pam ordered. The only two people she would talk to would be her Maker and her adopted Progeny.

"I got it," Hailey said as she entered the bathroom with her hand over her eyes. After she peeked through her fingers she slid the hand down and handed Pam her phone.

"For someone who is half succubus you certainly are modest," Pam said.

"I was raised to be somewhat polite. I do feed off of sexual energy and I can make folk horny but I prefer not to."

"You have gifts and abilities and sensations that lift you up over the humans. Embrace them." She brought the phone to her ear. "Hello Steve."

"Hello Pam," Steve said in a weak tone. "Were you talking to me about abilities and sensations?"

"No I was telling that to Hailey. However you should follow the advice. Is there a reason you wanted to speak with me?"

"I felt a little off," Steve said. "I think it's because we are separated."

"Do you also seek guidance?"

"Not exactly, although we found Ismene."

"You found her?" Pam asked and sat up.

"Rather she found us. She found shelter at Bill's place."

"Very good," Pam said and tried to make herself sound a little bit proud. "Anything else."

"Some of Russell's wolves attacked the werepanther community. There were about fifty of them and we won. We took them on and most of that group is dead save for those who are forced to join the Hot Shot community and Ismene's prisoner."

"I wish I was there to help torture that beast," Pam said and took another sip. "When I get back I want you to try a different brand of synthetic blood. I'm pretty sure you will enjoy the taste." She realized she was smiling. It had been so long since she had a Progeny after being a bad one to Collin. There are so many things to teach to Steve and she actually enjoyed the idea.

Bon Temps

Jason had paused the Mario Kart game when Steve made the phone call and only half listened while he thumbed through the manual. There wasn't much to listen to since he did experience most of what the vampire was saying.

"You said you were telling Hailey to accept her gifts?" Steve asked. "You didn't turn her, did you? Oh she's a half succubus. Wait those are real? That is an eye opener. Thank you for talking with me. Have a pleasant night, or early morning."

"What time is it over there?" Jason asked as soon as Steve had hung up.

"Almost three," Steve said as he picked up his remote.

"Succubus's are real?"

"Apparently." He blinked. "Hailey was the one. I saw this creature with wings and claws and she attacked my former Maker. That had to be her."

"She pretty?" He knew Steve had a crush on him. Jason wasn't sure if he was only into guys or if he liked both.

"Very," Steve said. "You don't remember the waitress that served you and Sookie on my first night as a bouncer?"

"Oh yeah." He remembered a girl about average height with strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. "She was pretty. Does she like you?"

"As friends." He chuckled. "If you think she has a crush on me then no."

"Why not?"

"I'm not as handsome as you are."

"Don't say that."

"It's true," Steve said softly. "You look like an adult and I got this baby face sometimes people confuse me for a teenager."

"I also got confused for a teenager and you are good looking, especially now that you no longer gel and let your bangs hang over. You got this great smile, warm eyes and beautiful eyelashes and I'm not the kind of guy that compliments other guys like that."

"You are just saying that."

"Other people think that. Sarah did marry you. She must have thought you were a catch."

"I think it was a marriage of convenience," Steve sighed and looked down

"Stop that," Jason chided. He placed a finger under Steve's chin. "You are a good looking man."

"You think so?" Steve asked as he leaned in closer.

"I know so," Jason said before he kissed him.

A/N: No I'm not gonna break up Jessica and Jason. That I promise.
