When I woke up the next morning, the first thought on my mind was Eric's promise; I will get you in my bed, Sookie Stackhouse. Or on a floor whatever you prefer.

I hadn't even been a wake an hour yet and I was already thinking about Eric Northman. Stop this, Sookie Stackhouse! You will not fall for another vampire. This Eric we are talking about for God's sake! He has fangbangers what use would he have with you? Didn't you learn enough from Bill?

Thinking about the devil… he might be dead. Andy called soon after I woke up and if I didn't know the truth about him; I would have run to the burned house to find out if that was true with the first clothes I found. It wasn't that I didn't care, exactly. I just wasn't really worried about him.

I dressed in a t-shirt and daisy flower skirt. I decided to wear some jewelry. I didn't usually use jewelry at all but I thought; I am a new person anyways and I want some change. I won't be as I was before. I will not be naïve. I will be strong. I chose my dream catcher necklace and leather wristband with little red flowers.

I decided to go to see that burned house after all, so I drove there with my little, yellow car and Andy was still there.

"Is Bill there?" I asked them as I calmly walked to them.

"No way of knowing," Bud Dearborne, our sheriff told me and I was surprisingly calm. Few days ago I would have been panicking for Bill but now I find myself… hating him so much that I didn't really care what happened to him. "They're awful messy."

"…but there was four of 'em," Andy ended Bud's sentence and I looked as people carried coffins to the outside. There were four of them, so Bill Compton had to be there.

"Sookie, are you okay? You want some water?"

"I am fine, thank you," I told him as I turned away and walked to my car and soon I was driving away from there. I didn't even bother to look at their death bodies. What was the point? I know that even if I wanted to, Andy wouldn't have let me either.


As I walked from my car to my house, I saw that my shoes were muddy, so I took them off before I walked from the front door to my house.

"Sookie?" I heard Tara asking as I sit watching television in my living room and eating popcorn.

"Tara," I said with my mouth full and smiled at her.

"My mama made me hoecakes this morning," my best friend told me and I was so shocked that I dropped popcorns I had in my hand back to the bowl.

"She…?"

"Cooked me breakfast!" she yelled exited and I was really happy for her, because her mom was really bad mother. Her mother has been an alcoholic as long as I remember. Tara was almost raised by grandmother too, because she was always over our house to get away from her mother.

"Why?" I wondered aloud.

"We went into the woods to get a full 445 dollar hoodoo exorcism last night," she informed me.

"You—What?" She did what?

"Never mind. What are we watching?" she asked me as she turned to look television.

"Who invited you?" I joked.

"Bitch," she said and I smiled at her. I was in a pretty good mood right now. I had no drama right now. Bill might be dead and I haven't thought about Eric in a while. I know I still needed to deal with those two, but right now I was having fun with my best and only friend.

"Princess bride," I told her smiling.

"Again?" she asked me as she stole some popcorn. I guess I should tell you that this movie used to be my favorite when I was little and I made Tara and Jason watch it with me over and over again.

"Again," I told her and we both were smiling. I knew that secretly Tara loved watching this movie with me. We stayed whole night watching movies and talking about everything… else than Eric Northman.

I already knew that I wanted Eric, but that didn't mean that I was going to admit that to anyone. Not even Tara because I knew what she felt about Bill and if I had told her, she would have screamed at me and gotten mad at me and then I would've been mad at her.

I wasn't going to tell Eric either because I knew that nothing could ever happen with him. Only thing what Eric wanted with me was sex. That's it, nothing more and nothing less.


N/A: Sorry. I am just sorry that this chapter sucks this badly and it's so short. It doesn't even have Eric in it. I know it's a filler but I still really don't know how to get these two together. Even though this chapter didn't have any sooric moments, she still started to admit her feelings… Eric just have to show her that he cares first about her and not just sex with her... some way :D I kind of feel bad for him because he really cant give his blood for her

But we got only six reviews? I have to say I was kind of disappointed. But thank you so much those of who have reviewed, because I think without you guys I would've given up with this story. I am too good at that; giving up with my stories.

I wanted to add nice Tara/Sookie moment because I feel like in the show all they did was fight and they were best friends (even though I kind of strongly dislike Tara).

THOUGHTS?
