Around 1:00 pm the next day I rolled out of bed and slowly made my way through the dark bedroom. I was beginning to get a feel for the room after three days of sleeping here. Eric of course was out cold for several more hours. I went to the kitchen and immediately brewed some coffee I had bought the day before. By the look of things outside, I was going to need a few cups to wake up on this cloudy day.

I was sitting on the couch sipping my second mug when I heard a knock at the door. I sent my extra sense out to see who was outside and found that it was Amelia. Oh great, this was certainly the conversation I wanted to have right after I woke up. I went to the door and greeted Amelia and asked her to come in.

"Hi Sookie!" Her mood was chipper and her hair and makeup were perfectly put together. She was basically the opposite of me at the moment.

"Hi Amelia, how are you?"

"Oh I'm great, thanks for asking! Listen, I just thought we should talk and get to know each other better, I mean I guess we know each other pretty intimately but I'm still real foggy about that night and I'm embarrassed to say I don't remember much about you."

I'm sure I was blushing at this point, but that was my problem. Obviously she wasn't as uptight about her sexual escapades as I usually was so it was my turn to suck it up and take my medicine.

"The thing is Amelia; I'm a little embarrassed because I don't usually do things like I did the other night, ever. Not that it wasn't fun, because it was, but that's the first time I've ever done something so adventurous and I don't know what to say to you now." I couldn't look her in the eye while talking.

"Oh hell well that's ok! We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. I just feel kinda bad because from what I know of you, I think we could be good friends and I don't want that night to mess up a kick ass friendship I think we could have." She was smiling and it lightened my mood tremendously to hear her talk about it with ease.

"No nothing is messed up. I agree, I think you seem really cool and I don't have many girlfriends so I would love to get to know you better, you know with our clothes on." I winked at her.

"Awesome! How about we go get some lunch? I know a place not far from here with the best cheese steak subs in Louisiana. In fact, we could just walk there if you want to since the rain shouldn't be here until this evening."

"That sounds good. Just give me about fifteen minutes to get ready and I'll meet you in the courtyard ok?" This was turning out to be a good day after all. Amelia went downstairs and I went and threw on some black leggings, a fitted gray sweater dress, and my uggs. I met her down in the courtyard and we set off to walk to the diner.

We were walking down the sidewalk for about a mile, chatting about what she did for a living, who I was in relation to Hadley, etc. when someone called out my name from behind me.

"Sookie Stackhouse, is that you?" Two large men were waving me down and smiling. Did I know them from somewhere? I latched onto their brain and found the tangled snarl that told me they were Weres. I didn't recognize them from Alcide's pack either. They were only about ten feet away when I heard a fairly clear thought, "gotcha now bitch."

I grabbed Amelia's hand and yelled RUN! We didn't even have time to yell for help before they had grabbed us and were running towards the alley. There was an old gray van waiting and we were slung inside quite painfully. A-hole #1 grabbed a piece of rope and tied my hands together in front of me, while A-hole #2 did the same thing to Amelia.

"I don't know who you are, but if you want me, please let her go! We just met; she has nothing to do with whatever is going on!" I yelled at them pleading for them to let my new friend go. This is one reason why I don't have many friends, not human ones anyways, I don't want them caught up in the supe trouble I always seem to find myself in. I would never forgive myself if they hurt her just because of me. Judging by the flashes in their twisted brains though, I didn't think I would have long to regret it before they killed me too.

My thoughts were racing so fast I couldn't keep them straight. My abductors duct taped both our mouths and the van was speeding away. I was screaming in my head for someone to help us, but I knew it was useless. Even with the overcast day, it would probably be three hours before the vampires rose. I looked over at Amelia with tears streaming down my face, pleading with my eyes to tell her how sorry I was. She was of course terrified, but looked more pissed than anything. I heard through her thoughts that she wished they hadn't taped her mouth shut so she could cast a spell. I got angry as well when I realized I hadn't yet told Amelia that I was a telepath so she wouldn't know to communicate with me this way.

The big, burly Were that had taped my mouth was thinking about how pleased she would be when they came back with me. She would probably have sex with him again for doing such a good job. He was disgusting and I realized that the mastermind behind my kidnapping had been a woman and she had given these men sex and money to find me in New Orleans. I also heard her name in is his head, Sandra Pelt had set me up. Obviously that twisted bitch was just as bad as her sister Debbie. I shuddered when I thought of what she had in store for me and probably Amelia when we arrived at our destination.

The other guy, also a Were was just thinking about how cute Amelia was and how he wanted to rough her up and have sex with her. Oh God he was thinking about doing horrible things to her sexually, it almost made me vomit. He started grabbing her thighs and sliding her towards the end of the van and she was kicking and thrashing with everything she had. He had her jeans unbuttoned and was starting to yank them down when I felt an anger so intense I knew I wouldn't let him do this to her, no matter what it cost me. I drew both my knees up and kicked the man in the head as hard as I could, which was pretty darn hard considering all of Eric's blood I had in me. It was enough to disorient him and make him stop what he was doing to her. Unfortunately it earned me a hard slap across the face from the burly guy guarding me. The pain was immediate and intense and I felt my eyes flood with tears.

"What's wrong bitch are you jealous?" he spat at me. "Don't worry cream puff we weren't going to forget about you!" He ripped my leggings from the thighs up to the crotch and was pushing my panties to the side while I was kicking and trying to cross my legs as hard as I could. Of course this only made the psychopath more excited, so he punched me in the stomach knocking the wind out of me. My panties were in shreds and he pulled his disgusting dick out of his pants and was about to jam it into me when he fell over top of me and blood started spraying out onto my dress. Amelia was back beside me and had rammed a screwdriver through his neck. I struggled to get out from under him and Amelia tried to help push him off me. She had a disgusted look on her face and was shaking like a leaf when nasty Were #2 was crawling back towards us, still a little disoriented. Amelia backed into the corner of the van, unable to do anything but shake when I reached down and pulled the screwdriver out of his neck and just as he lept for me, I pointed it up and it went right into his eye.

To be continued...Probably later tonight!
