Meeting Bill Compton
Hey everyone. :D So just to warn you there will skips in the time line. This is so the story can move a little quicker. There will always be a recap of what happened in the parts or episodes that I skip so that you know how everything is going along.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the Sookie Stackhouse novels or the True Blood series, only Milla.
She looked at me stunned like her entire vocabulary had been taken from her in that very moment. She looked down at the birth certificate again then back up at me. I sat there silently and waited for her to speak. Then someone a man in particular came over.
"You alright cher?" He asked her then looked at me suspiciously.
I bit my lip then cleared my throat a bit before standing up and looking around.
"I suppose this really wasn't the best idea. I apologize for dumping that into your on such short notice, I guess I could have been a bit more tactful about it. I'll just leave now." I said then looked at the man and pulled two twenty dollar bills from my pocket and a business card from my purse. "For disrupting your bar Mr. Merlotte and if and mental stress is reported by any of your staff due to this I will personal ensure they receive whatever compensation deemed necessary by a physician."
Then almost like a bat out of hell I left the bar and got into my Jeep and locked the doors. I hit my head on the steering wheel a couple of times. Before stopping and just leaning my head on it.
"How could you be so stupid Milla? What did you expect that you would just walk in there yes 'Hey by the way your, well our parents, had another kid before you. But vampires took me from the nursery and so on.' And then she would just hug you like she had known you her whole life." I scolded to myself.
After a few minutes there was a knock on my window and I jumped. I guess I had been to lost in my own thoughts to notice the ones of the person right outside my door. It was the man from inside the bar, Mr. Merlotte. He had a friendly trust worthy face. I looked at his hands and saw my birth certificate in his hands. He gestured for me to open the window or open the door, which ever really. I opened the door and got out of my car then closed it again before looking up at him.
"So according to this you are Sookie's sister." He said holding the certificate up a bit. I only nodded. "Why did you wait until now?"
"Well I was taken from the hospital the night of my birth by some vampires." I said.
"Wait your telling me decades before vampires came out they took you." He said not very sure what to believe.
"They did. They lived in a nest and their leader decided that they needed new blood a baby to bring the nest together so they took me. I was told when I was eight that is was because I smelled different than the other babies. A little while after I turned ten. The nest, who and become my care takers, was taken down by werewolves."
"Werewolves, too. No wonder." He said before a small flash in my eyes stopped him from saying anything else.
"Yes. One bit me before he realized I was human. After that he took me to his home and raised me, turned out he was the Packmaster so no one really questioned what he did. I didn't come soon because he didn't think I was ready to handle the possible rejection that could come my way. I'm a stranger to them. They have no reason to take my word or any of that." I said.
I stayed silent a little while after that and breathed in. I made sure I didn't go picking through his brain seeing as it would be extremely rude for me to do so, especially since we didn't know one another. When in a crowd it's harder, much harder to keep from reading peoples though but when one on one it was easier to control what I would hear.
"How did you know my last name?" He asked looking at me suspiciously.
"It's kind of hard not to know it when so many people were saying in in their heads when you walked over." I said honestly. I knew he knew Sookie could read minds but all the same his eyes widened. "Sorry to many people at one time it."
"So your like Sookie you can.." He gestured to his head silently and pulled an odd face.
"Yes I can." I told him with a smile.
"Then you to have to be sisters." He said. I laughed.
"If you think of it like that then you'd probably start thinking that if another person came up and said they were a telepathic that they also in some way, are related to Sookie. Which this is the only time in which this scenario occurs. Trusts me I have checked, double checked and triple checked." I said still with a small smile playing on my lips.
"I have one last question." He said.
"Okay go ahead everyone asks anyway. It is inevitable." I said.
"Do you just?" He asked. I shook my head and he nodded a little. He accepted this. "Is your hair really that color?"
I laughed for a couple of moments.
"You know it never gets old no matter how many times people ask me that question." I said. "Yes this is my natural hair color. Also yes I know I'm small, but I like it. It means I'm fun size."
He chuckled a little and that made me smile.
"Come on. Sookie is siting in my office. I think she wants to speak to you about all of this." He said to me.
I nodded and followed him as he started to walk bar into the bar, to the very back of the bar. He opened a door which I assume was to his office to reveal Sookie siting in an arm chair and looking at the ground thinking. Until Sam cleared his throat to make sure she knew that they were now in the room. She looked up at Sam and I, then she stood up in front of me.
"How did they not know you went missing? Why didn't they look for you?" She asked me quickly.
"The people who took me they were vampires. They glamoured Corbett and Michelle to believe that their baby had died at birth. They didn't glamour the rest of the staff until after they printed up my birth certificate, and after that they wiped the data records of me actually living and entered in a false death time. That was all I was told when I was with them but I was only with them until I was ten." I told her.
She stayed silent for a few moment before clearly deciding to speak again.
"I think Gran will be able to say more. Even though she never spoke about anything like this, maybe she knows. I get off work in about thirty minutes. After that I have to go visit someone. Then we go to my Gran's house and hope she's up when we get there." She said.
"You can go now, cher." Sam told her.
I looked at him a bit surprised. His thoughts hadn't given any hint to what he had just said so I wasn't expecting it. Sookie looked at him surprised as well. Then before any other words came out of anyone's mouth Sookie hugged him and I had to hold back a laugh as I heard Sam's thoughts at that very moment. After she let go of him she took off her apron and put it into a cubby/shelf thing then grabbed her purse.
"Let's go." She said with a smile on her face before she opened the door again and walked out of the room.
I turned and faced Sam. He was going to be a good friend to have if I stayed in Bon Temps. I mouthed a thank you to him,he nodded then he handed me my birth certificate and shooed me to follow Sookie. I smiled and followed Sookie out of the bar. I stopped in time not to run into her when she stopped and turned to face me.
"I have to do something before head over to Gran's you can follow me if you want. I'm sure Bill won't mind meeting you especially since your new to the area." She said.
I nodded then watched her walk over to her car and get in. I quickly got into my Jeep which wasn't too far away from me and started the engine. Then we pulled out of the parking lot and I followed her.
It hadn't taken very long to get where Sookie had needed to go. I parked my car next to hers and got out silently. An advantage to being so small. I sniffed the air and my eyes grew wide. Vampires. I looked at Sookie with my brows furrowed but followed her all the same up to the front door and listened closely to what was going on behind it. After a moment the opened swiftly to reveal a woman with large hair and a slim figure. It was obvious that she was a vampire.
"Well hello human chicks." She said as she leaned against the door a bit.
"I'm looking for Bill Compton." Sookie said keeping her head up, then there were three vampires. One standing next to the woman and the other on Sookie's left. All of them had their fangs retracted. Shit. I thought.
I sighed I need to pulled their attention away from her some how, even if in the smallest ways. I lifted my arms and pulled my hair out of it's bun and let it fall in waves down my back. My hair always attracted attention given its odd color and out of era length. I felt their eyes fall on me all except Sookie's. However the distraction was short lived.
"Why don't you come on in?" The man in the door way said.
"Are you trying to glamour us?" Sookie asked them. And they looked very shocked.
"Yes."
Double shit. I thought. This didn't look like it was going to end very well.
"Well that doesn't work on me." She said.
"And why not?" The bald one behind Sookie asked.
"I don't know it just doesn't." She told them.
"What about your little friend here?" The woman asked pointing me out.
"It doesn't work on me either. Sorry sweetheart." I said my southern accent as thick as ever.
"Now is Bill around I need to talk to him." Sookie said.
"Let her in Diana." A male voice, who I assumed was Bill, said from inside the house.
The man and woman parted and let Sookie through. Then just as I stepped forward they moved back together.
"He only said her." The woman said.
I growled at her then turned around and walked back to my Jeep. I didn't want to get into any sort of fight after just getting here no matter how pissed I was. I drummed on my steering wheel and smiled to myself when I saw the vampires and two humans leaving the house. A few moments later Sookie came out and got into her car. I was worried because she seemed upset but I would wait until we got to where she wanted us to go. Apparently the two of them were neighbors of sorts seeing as it didn't take very long for us to get to her Gran's. I got out of my Jeep and walked over to Sookie who was just getting out of her own car. Then we both turned and Sookie jumped a bit and just looked at him.
"Who the hell are you?" I asked harshly. I looked at Sookie then back at the vampire. Then his fangs came out.
"Milla this is Bill Compton. Bill this is Milla." She said. "She's my sister."
His fangs disappered as he looked between us with as much of a confused look on his face as a vampire could have.
"Sister? I don't think.." He started.
"That doesn't matter I have a birth certificate and she brought me here to talk to her Gran. And don't even think about biting me or anything because I have silver in my system. " I said defensively.
He turned his head a bit. I ignored him then looked at Sookie.
"If it's okay with you I'd like to go inside. You know I don't have a very good history with vampires and I don't feel like chatting one up at the moment." I said to her.
"The front door is unlock go ahead, hopefully Gran is up." She said.
With that I hurried past Bill and into the house and close the door behind me. Vampires were dark creatures and at one point I had been raised by a nest of them. However it didn't change how I felt about them as a supernatural creature. I took a deep breath then walked into the living room and looked around at everything. This was going to be a very long and difficult ride for all of the Stackhouse's.
Well she met Bill and clearly doesn't like him very much.
I hope you enjoyed it and leave a review to let me know what you think. :D
