Truth be told

Hey guys, sorry for the really long wait but I've been busy lately. However hear it is. :D

-luffs you. O.H.

The true death of Longshadow was disgusting and liquid-y, also it was loud seeing as he was screaming and so was Ginger and Sookie, well sort of. Blood spewed from his mouth soaking in Sookie in the red, warm substance. No doubt some of my blood was among it. Then he liquefied pretty much right on top of me. I allowed for a very small amount of the blood to seep into my wound to heal it but made sure my mouth was firmly shut so I did not ingest any of it. Then I started to get up as Ginger began screaming again then throwing up and screaming some more.

"Humans." Eric looked at Ginger his face indifferent, but the slight disgust in his eyes was impossible to miss. "Honestly Bill I don't know what you see in them."

After a moment of sipping on the blood puddle I stood up and looked at everyone. I almost chuckled at the look on Sookie's face but then refrained knowing it wouldn't help the situation in the least and it would have made me look not only insane, but sick and sadistic as well. I walked away from their little group and into the men's room because I honestly didn't want to watch Sookie struggle with getting all the blood off of her and because I needed to be alone. Once I was in the restroom I locked the door and placed my hands on either side of one of the porcelin sinks leaning against it heavily. I took several deep breaths as memories from when I was ten ran through my mind. I had been cover head to toe in vampire blood then too, but I had been so much younger, so much more frightened of the world. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. It seemed that this was just the way the world saw me, covered in blood with shining blue-green eyes. I shook my head and started to clean myself up when there was a knock on the door. I walked over and opened it a little hiding behind the door a bit.

"Here. Eric told me to give you these." Pam said holding out stack of clean clothes.

I looked at them for a moment before looking back at my ruined things, there was no chance of saving them. I looked back at her and took the clothes.

"Thanks." I said then started to close the door.

"What you did was incredibly stupid you know." She said before I had closed the door completely. "Jumping in front of Sookie. You could have died."

"That doesn't really matter. Not to me at least. She is special and needs to be protected." I said.

"So your own life is forfeit because a vampire goes after her." She said her voice still the same monotone and bored sound. "You sound like you have a death wish."

"Maybe I do, maybe I knew I would survive. But it doesn't matter what's done is done." I said. "You should be careful Pam your almost starting to sound like you care."

I closed the door and locked it, shutting myself into a world that didn't want me dead for once. I walked back over to the sinks and started to wash away the blood, mine and Longshadow's. As I did I watched myself in the mirror. The glow of my pale skin is what started to show first. Then after five or six rinses my hair was not longer crimson. It didn't take to long after my hair was finished to rinsed the rest of my body of the death it had been covered with. Then I pulled the large red t-shirt Pam had given me over my head and let it fall. I silently thanked God that my underwear and been saved from ruin, so that I would have to leave the bar in only the shirt. Finally I picked up the bloody clothes and threw them into the trash bin and pulled the bag out. I unlocked the door and walked out the same moment Pam walked out of the ladies room.

"Where is the dumpster?" I asked her.

"Outside in the back." Her voice seemingly the same as always.

I nodded and headed out throwing the bag in then looking around. I felt like I was being watched and it made a shiver run down my spine. I walked back into Fangtasia and looked around a bit of a mop. Once I found one and it's bucket I took it to the men's bathroom and cleaned up the trail of blood I left inside. After I finished that I went and sat in one of the booths in a darker corner of the club. I stared blankly at the floor just thinking. Mostly of trivial things but also why it was I disliked vampires so much. I never hated them when I had been with them. Sure I told people that they used my but that was far from the truth. They had been, for lack of a better word, my family. They taught me history, languages and everything else a growing child needed to know. When they feed the leader would take me out to do things, of course it was at night but it had been fun all the same.

It hadn't been until I started living with werewolves, became a werewolf, that I started to dislike even the mention of the fanged species. However now that I was living away from the wolves and with more humans, they didn't seem so...wrong.

"Just as supernatural as I am." I whispered to myself.

I stood up and walked out of Fangtasia without a second thought. Bill could take care of Sookie but at the moment I really need to be alone without the risk that Sookie would be able to listen in on my thoughts. I ran to my Jeep quickly and got in. I speed out of the drive way and didn't look back. I drove for about thirty minutes. Not heading anywhere specific just empty. Once I found a place to my liking I parked and got out of my car. I walked half a mile into the woods before siting on the ground and closing my eyes.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

I groaned and reached over to turn off my alarm. I climbed out of bed and walked into the bathroom, then when I looked at myself in the mirror. I screamed. I had blood on me. Like when Longshadow had met his final death. I quickly turned on the faucet and cupped my hands letting them fill with water and spashing my face. Then I looked up at the mirror again to find not a single trace of blood on me. I backed up and put my hands through my hair.

"Just breath. It was a hallucination nothing else." I said to myself trying to calm down.

After a couple of minutes I had managed to pull myself together and started getting ready for work. I was only going to be there for a few hours but it was better than nothing at the moment. As I got dressed I decided that I would visit Bill after I got off and the sun went down. I needed to ask him what happened after he and Sookie left Fangtasia and if he was going to get in trouble for killing Longshadow. Once I was finished I headed off to Merlotte's and tried to keep what happened that morning out of her head just in case Sookie would be listening around. I headed into the back and grabbed my apron and tied it around my waist. Then I saw an envelope and chuckled. I looked inside and counted it.

"Well I'll be damned. He figured it out sooner than I thought." I said as I closed the envelope then placed it into one of the pockets of my apron.

I walked out and started getting to work and once I had to go behind the bar I swiftly took the envelope from my apron and slid it into Sam's back pocket.

"Nice try Merlotte." I whispered into his ear, then continued with my work.

I made sure to stay more than arms length away from Sam until the end of my shift and quickly went into his office and put my stuff away and grabbed my purse and walked back to the front.

"Bye, Sam." I said with a little wave of my fingers as I headed out the door.

The sun was already starting to set as I walked out to my Jeep and got in. I tapped the steering wheel as I thought and finalized my decision to go see Bill. I started my car and began to make my way to his residence. It didn't take very long, but thankfully by the time I got there the sun was down completely. I got out of my car and bound up the steps to his front door and knocked lightly. Then I waited for him to answer and after a couple of minutes he did.

"Milla." He said clearly surprised. "This is a surprise."

"I know but I've been thinking and I really should reconsider my relations with vampires. You for instance, a potential friend. However vampire's like Eric not so much." I said. "Is it okay if I come in?"

He nodded and opened the door a bit wider and stepped aside. I walked in and looked around. I heard him close the door then watched as he walked into, what looked to be a parlor room. I followed and stopped when he turned and looked at me.

"I'm sorry for the way I have treated you even though you've always protected Sookie. I guess I'm just trying to make up for all the years I missed being her older sister." I said.

"No apology necessary, Milla." He told me.

"That's where your wrong. You have protected her in ways that I am incapable of, from things I am incapable of protecting her from. You've kept her alive even when another vampire would have killed her himself." I said to him.

He only nodded. I smiled and looked around the room again before I saw a Wii and a projector.

"What were you playing?" I asked him.

"Golf." He said.

"Really. Well don't stop on my account." I said and took a seat on one of the couches.

I then watched him as he turned the projector back on and began to play again.

"So I was also wondering what had occurred after I left Fangtasia the other night." I said as his next hole started.

"Sookie and I left, though she was worried when she saw you and your vehicle were missing. I took her home however when we went inside, her cat Tina was on the ceiling fan decapitated. After that I brought Sookie back here, she was in no state to be in that house by herself." He said. I looked at him shocked.

"Do you think it was the serial killer?" I asked him.

"It would seem that way."

"He must be trying to send a message."

"Or he is just trying to scare Sookie. Letting her know they can get into her home when ever he pleases."

"That would scare anyone." I said.

"Where did you go after you left Fangtasia?" He asked. I looked up at him and sighed.

"I had to get away to think, mostly, but I couldn't risk Sookie hearing my thoughts. She doesn't need to hear the things that go on in my head sometimes. No one should. Being telepathic is not something to be proud of. We know things others would never want us to know secrets they would rather keep in the dark." I said. "And I don't know if Sookie told you but my telepathy is, stronger than hers, more controlled, but seeing and hearing the things I have has made me cautious and very dangerous in someways. You should know that I know how vampire hierarchies work and if the Queen of Louisiana found out about Sookie or I. Then things could turn very, very bad for us."

He didn't say anything after that. He just watched me.

"Are you sure you and Sookie are related?" He asked finally braking the silence.

"As sure as I can be. Here." I said and pulled my birth certificate out of my purse and handed it to him. "That's only the real proof I have. I carry it around as a reminder more than any thing."

"That is Sookie's father, Corbett, and her mother's name was Michelle as well. However to my knowledge they were married even before Jason was born. The documentation would not only hold her maiden name but also her marital name, even if not still this was not Sookies' mothers maiden name." He said. I stood up and looked at the paper with him. He pointed to my mothers name on the document. "See there is only her maiden name here. It is possible that you and Sookie are only half sisters."

I quickly took the paper from his hands and looked at it again.

"How could I have missed that?" I asked more myself than anything. "I have looked at this piece of paper for the last eight years believing that I was undeniably related to whatever other children they had. Now in one glance it turns out my father was unfaithful and.."

Anger flared inside me. It felt like a lie, but that was what it was, a lie. One that I had been telling myself for a long time.

"I..I need to go. I have to make a few calls." I said then looked up at Bill. "Thank you by the way."

I walked out of his house and quickly strode over to my Jeep and climbed inside. I looked at the birth certificate one more time before starting up my car and leaving Bill's property. I drove to a very dark and secluded place before stopping and getting out of my car. I pulled out my phone and dial the only number I knew that could possibly give me the answers I needed even if I did not want them.

"This is Max Harrison." Papa said answering his phone.

"Hey Papa it's me." I said as I started to pace in the knee high grass.

"Hey flutterbug. What's going on? Why are you calling so late?"

"Papa, I was showing a friend of mine my birth certificate tonight and he noticed something I never really paid any mind to. Until now that is. But he brought up the fact that Jason and Sookie's parents were married, even before Jason was born. So if I'm their sister why is my mom's last name different?" I asked him.

"Who is this friend of your's?"

"Don't dodge the question Papa! Who is Michelle Richard?" I asked him raising my voice a bit.

"Calm down flutterbug. Michelle was a part of a pack that usually roam around in Monroe. She was 19 when she went missing. A couple of years later she showed up in Rayville. She was 8 weeks pregnant at the time. After a couple of months she left, most of the pack figured she had just gone back to Monroe. She kept to herself most of the time but everyone knew what she was even when they had never seen her change." He said then took a breath and continued. "She never contacted anyone after that. That was until.."

"Until what?" I asked my pacing coming to a sudden stop.

"Until we go a call. It was about a years after she had you. She had said that her baby was alive and that if she couldn't save her then it was up to us. That was the last time we heard from her. We thought that she meant she was hot on the kidnappers trail. But she was wrong at least partially. The vampires she had been watching did have you but before she could make her more to get to you. They found out about her. It wasn't until nine years later when we attacked them for all the dark and secret trouble they were causing in Rayville that you were found. Not that we even knew who you were at first. It had been a strike of luck that it was that nest of vampire you were with."

"And you never thought to tell me that. That your bite wasn't the reason I'm a werewolf, that I was born a wolf. People looked at me, and thought crude and disgusting things about me because of that. You subjected me to the life of an outsider." I said.

"It was the only way to keep you from looking for your parents, to keep you from leaving. You weren't ready." He said.

"To you. I was not ready. However that truly does not sound like a call you deserve to make at any point in time."

"I was doing what was best for you."

"No you were doing what was best for you. You know that I am stronger than other people give me credit for." She said and sighed a moment. "I have to go. I'll talk to you, some other time."

She hung up and looked around her. This was something that could have changed her entire life. If her community had known that she was a born wolf then maybe she would have been less inclined to trying to find blood family. Maybe she would have accepted being an orphan. She sighed again and got into her jeep and then started to head back home to be with her sister whether she was her half-sister or not.

P.S

I am going to be moving soon so it maybe a month or so before I can get the next chapter out to you. But it will make sure it is a good on. (WARNING: We will be skipping to the 3rd season loves.)
