We met Hoyt outside of Merlottes before we went inside. "How's it going?" He asked dad. I didn't really want to listen to their hello's. "We're heading inside!" I called as i walked off with Serena. As soon as i walked in the door i saw Sam smile but he was obviously trying to hide it. "Quick everyone hide you drinks it's Fae." He called and i laughed. "Yup, i like to steal em." When i was 7 and dad had asked Sam to watch me i had taken a drink from Ms. Fortenberry but i didn't know i wasn't suppose to drink achohal. Sam had stopped me but it had become a joke for us over the years.
I took a seat at the bar right in front of him with Rena on my right. "So whatcha been up to Sam?" He chuckled. "Trying to keep Maxine away from the achohal, i feel bad for Hoyt she's wasted." I smiled at him. "Well i could always steal her drink again." All three of us laughed, i had told Rena what happened when she had came with us the first time a year ago.
"Hey Sam hook us up with a couple beers!" Dad called from his usually table, i hadn't even heard him come in. "Sure." He called back and i stood up. "Sookie off today?" I asked him as i scanned the room for my aunt. "Yeah." He answered grabbing two mugs. "Oh. Well were going to go see Lafayette." Serena jumped up and we headed to the kitchen.
"You know we can always walk over." She said knowing i would want to see her while i was in town. "That's true, but it's already late and dad would be worried about the vampires." She just shrugged. I know she didn't really care but that was because she hadn't met one so they didn't really affect her. Sometimes i wish i was like her.
"Lafayette!" I yelled and he turned slightly startled obviously not expecting me. "Bitch, i was wondering when your fine ass would show." I hugged him, pulling back a second later when Arlene put up a ticket. "Hey Fae. How you been doing girl?" She asked, i let Laffy talk to Rena. "I've been good. Trying to pass highschool, make something of myself." Jason must be doing something right with this girl, though i still don't think he was ready for parenthood. I just hope she don't go following in her father's footsteps.
"That's great honey." She smiled warmly and i tried to not be annoyed with her for her thoughts or in the very least not show it. "Well i've got tables but it's great to see your doing well." I smiled it was a little forced though but i don't think she noticed. "Ok bye Arlene tell Coby, Lisa, and Mikey i said hi." She smiled and walked off. Thinking fondly of her children. I turned back to Lafayette and Serena who were talking about the size of my breasts...
"Excuse me!" I said. "Hooker over here ain't making life easy on her fine ass daddy." He said and Serena laughed. "No she ain't. Fucking D's and apparently Jason is very know for getting tail. All i can say is karma's a bitch." He nodded. "Sure is hooker." I waved my hands getting their attention but by now i was embarassed. "Are you guys serious? Really talking about me like i'm not here and about THAT. Man you to sure do know how to embarass a girl." They laughed again.
I walked off leaving them to talk. When i got to my dad's table i sat down on a chair next to him. "Have you ever heard of settling down?" Hoyt asked my dad and i scoffed, i could honestly say while i was around that never crossed his mind. "Once. She ended up cheating on me before i could ask her." He shrugged like it was no big deal. "That suck-" Hoyt went silent in fact the whole place did. I turned to the door to see Eric standing there, looking at me.
"Come here." I got up from my chair but dad grabbed my arm. "No." I knew this was something Eric found important if he came to me while i was with my dad. Meaning he wasn't going to tolerate anything getting in his way. "Then come but i have a feeling it's serious." He thought about it and was worried that this could be about Sookie. Serena walked out of the kitchen and noticed Eric right away, her thoughts taking different a route than my father's.
Coming to me she whispered. "Who's that?" I looked at Hoyt silently begging him to distract Serena, i didn't want her involved in what was going to happen next. Apparently he got the message because he fell out of his chair and she rushed to help him. "We will be back in a few." Dad said as he stood up and starting to walk to Eric who disappeared only to reappear near dad's truck. I ran to him, getting worried now.
"What happened?" I asked now that i was standing in front of him. "Sookie found evidence that my maker was still here and in danger." He handed me a CD. As soon as i touched it, i gasped as a vision hit me.
"Chain up the bastard, make sure he can't get free." Silver chains were sercured around a boy who looked like he was maybe 16, 17 years old.. He was obviously weak and barely able to fight against these people. Needles everywhere. Tubs of blood. Then something odd a carving of a panther.
"Oh my god!" I said dropping the disk. He caught it easily. "Eric your maker is in a lot of trouble. He's about to be chained to a table and drained." He growled his eyes filled with fury. "Where?" He growled out, dad pulled me back. "I don't know i don't reconize anything. The only thing that could be used to idenify this place was a carving of a panther." Hot shot? No... they wouldn't do that... would they? I looked at dad, knowing that he was part werepanther i thought it best to ask him and see if he would voice his thoughts.
"Does that sound familiar?" He looked at me. If it is i would rather find out for myself, Eric isn't thinking clearly. He'll kill everyone there. If his makers there i will get him out safely. He was right Eric would murder everyone... "No." Dad said. "Keep trying." Eric ordered me handing me the CD again. I closed my eyes, concentrating. I got nothing but i needed something to pacify Eric. "Making Sookie heard something?" I said and then he was gone.
"Drive dad." I ordered. "Your not going." He snapped and i glared. "You think i'm letting you go there alone? Your insane. If you go i go. I won't loose you to." He climbed in to the truck digging around in the glove box while i got in. He handed me a gun, i looked at him. "What about you?" I asked. "I have the shotgun in the back." He pulled out of there, i sent a txt to Hoyt telling him to take Serena home.
"The guns loaded, heres the extra bullets. Heres how you load it." He explained everything as we pulled up to Hot shot. The place looked like shit. "Come on and do not leave my side." He said sternly, i nodded and he carefully got out, so did i. When dad got his shot gun i was already searching threw the minds of these people to see if i could hear anything about this vampire or if i could find a void that might possiblely be him.
Finally i came across it, a girl was thinking about him. Eric's maker. "Come on!" I whispered. I wasn't sure if he was here but she had definately seen him. This place gave me the creeps, i couldn't help that feeling that something bad was going to happen, the fear that was settling in the pit of my stomach.
It was when i felt the void that all of that seemed to melt away and my focus became saving this vampire. It was a building in the back, a building that was being guarded. A group of people sat in front of it, around a fire but you would have to be blind not to notice the way they kept looking around, the way the guns shone in the moonlight. I looked at dad as we ducked behind a building. "What now?" I whispered. I can distract them but we're going to have to switch guns, i have to be able to conceal it. Wordlessly i handed it to him and took the shot gun. Becareful Fae...
I was extremely worried and scared as i watched my father walk towards them. He was worried about me to, his thoughts focusing on two things. One, me and worrying if i was going to make it out of this unharmed. Two, if we did make it out of this, he was going to yell at Eric. As my father talked to them, making sure to keep their attention on him. Moving his hands like he was going to pull a weapon out, causing them to narrow their eyes and watch him closely. I moved further behind the building.
I wasn't going to get another opening. I ran towards the shitty shed that was being used to imprison the vampire, as queitly and as quickly possible. Something was getting closer to me. I sped up having no real choice, i couldn't tell if i had been spotted or not but i wasn't about to take any chances... well other than the ones i was already taking. I managed to get inside. Behind you Fae! I heard my dad's thoughts. Not my daughter you fucking asshole! I turned around in a panic and pulled the trigger.
It was a panther that had been following me. Now it was a girl, a little younger than me. Oh my god! I killed a child! I panicked and then i heard the fighting outside. Get Godric! Hurry! I Turned and ran towards the vampire getting one of the chains off before something hard slammed in to my back and i hit the ground. "You think you can just walk in and steal our vamp?" It was a guys voice. I looked at him and my eyes widdened when i saw the gun. "This is for Mishy." No not here, not like this!
It was almost like everything slowed down, like i was seeing everything in slow motion but i was sure that was because of the adredline. I moved just barely the bullet grazing my cheek causing me to cry out. He smirked and came closer. Fucking bastards! Should have never- I heard dad yell out and i screamed. "DADDY!" Oh please no! Please! Please! No!
I ran towards the door only to be knocked down and pinned to the ground. "So your Jason's brat?" He smirked. I thrashed, refusing to answer him as i tried to free my hand and slam the gun in to his head. "Is the idiot still alive!" He called out to his group. I glared. "You better hope he is! You bastard!" I yelled. "You should hope he isn't. You wouldn't want your daddy to see this." He was being serious and without even having to read his mind i knew what he had planned.
"Yeah, he's breathing." The guy looked at the one who had poked his head in the room. "Good, tie him up in here. We'll let the vampire she tried to save and her dumbass of a daddy watch this." I finally freed my leg and slammed my knee between his knees. Quickly i moved out from underneath him and shot the one who just came in and then pointed the gun at the guy who was now rolling in pain. "I hate this, i'm no murder. I hate the fact that i just killed two people and probally won't get out without more people dying." A tear rolled down my cheek and i had to force myself to shot him.
I ripped the chains from the vampire and walked towards the door. "Please stay close to me for now. When you get the chance run for it, go back to Eric." I said leaving the shed with my gun raised, i was ready to shoot. "Give me back my dad and let us walk out of here. Now." I growled, i wasn't loosing him. The all exchanged looks before pointing their guns at me, some going panther. So i was facing three guns and two panthers.
"Sorry bitch but your going to die." No! "Stay down!" I screamed at dad then started firing the gun as fast as i could, i moved never once staying in one spot. Making sure Eric's maker was right behind me. Then the gun was snatched away from me and i looked to see a very pissed off viking. "No blood shed." Was all i heard behind me, it sounded weak. Another thing registered in my mind and that was my dad was lying on the ground bleeding.
"Daddy!" Eric grabbed my arm and held me against him so i couldn't run. "It's not safe." He said but i glared. "I can't loose him Eric! I lost mom i can't loose him!" I didn't give him time to think i shoved away from him and ran. A panther was crouched over my dad. I picked up a very convinent peice of lead pipe and slammed it against the cats head. Dad made a dive for his gun and shot the cat before it could get me.
"You ok?" I asked him. So not leaving the house for the next few weeks Fae. Grounded for you own protection. "This is nothing." He said and i rolled my eyes. Uh huh. I was trying not to run up to him and hug him knowing i would only end up hurting him. He seemed alright, but i didn't like the fact that he was bleeding. I turned to the survivors which was the ones that stayed in human form. "Was all of this worth it? For V?" I yelled at them tears running down my face.
Eric took a step towards them and i glared at him. "No! Nobody else!" He was in front of me in seconds. "What gives you the right to order me around?" He growled but we both knew he wasn't going to kill me tonight not after what i had just done. "Godric has that right and he gave you a order. Shouldn't you make sure he's taken care of?" Dad asked Eric but he wasn't calm he was pissed.
I looked at Godric and saw that he was stuggling. "Eric." I said turning towards his maker taking a few steps towards him i saw his fangs come out. In a second he was back with his maker. "Fae he needs blood, grab someone." He ordered and i looked at him like he was crazy. I didn't do as he said instead i just walked up to them, my father was behind me stuggling to get to his feet. To stop me. "Just don't let him kill me Eric." I told him as i stepped closer to Godric. I noticed the reluctance in his eyes but also the hunger, he needed blood and no one else needed to die. Tilting my head to the side, revealing my neck. Within seconds his fangs had sunk in and he was drinking deeply.
I must have passed out while we were at Merlottes cause when i woke up i was lying in my bed with my dad asleep in a chair next to me. One look at the time had me panicking. It was 7:39! I was going to be late if i didn't hurry. I didn't have time to wonder why dad had decided to sleep in the chair, he hadn't done that since i was little. Unless i was sick or something. Taking a shower, getting dressed in black bra and panties, black jean shorts, and a blue long sleeved shirt that went a little passed my elbows, i slipped on my shoes picked up my backpack. Left a note for dad and i ran out of the house. Very nearly missing the bus.
Serena was a little mad at me and wanted to know why i had bailed on her last night. The thing was i couldn't remember, i kept getting bits and peices when i tried. Like animals and some guy i've never met before. When i couldn't tell her she said i could make it up to her by telling her who 'that hot guy who was at Merlottes last night' was. "His name is Eric Northman, he's the vampire sheriff of area 5." Her eyes widened.
"A vampire?" I nodded as we took our seats at the lunch table, like usual i didn't eat i just had a coke. "Yeah." She was thinking for a second but i didn't even bother to read her mind. This was bothering me, why didn't i remember what happened?
"Can you take me to meet him?" I looked at her and shook my head. "Why not?" Because he'll use you and then throw you aside. Because he'll use you as leverage to get me to do whatever he wants. "He's dangerous." I said and she narrowed his eyes. "Fae i doubt that since you and Jason went with him." I rolled my eyes. "Rena do you think that means anything? It doesn't. He's still dangerous and i'm not going to put you in danger." She sighed.
"Lets just drop this ok?" I nodded. "Alrighty then. So when i was talking to Lafayette last night we came to the conclusion that you should dress in something a little more girly to mess with your dad." I looked at her in horror cause in her mind she was picturing a short pink dress with a bow in the back, a pair of white heels with my hair curled. Not happening. "I don't know what you have planned but I think i'm good thanks." I said before i took a drink of my soda.
"Come on Faelyn your a beautiful girl, you just hide it behind baggy clothes." I rolled my eyes. "Rena i'm not like you, frilly dresses scare me. High heels are my doom, purses i find stupid, jewelry not really interested. I hate make up. I've tried and you know i have, but i just don't like it. The only thing i sort of like is shoes, you know like flip flops, sandals, and of course my tenni shoes." She mummbled something but i don't know what.
Well if it ain't the fucking bitch who broke my nose... didn't Shoemocker say if she did one more thing she would be expelled from school... maybe... I looked around in till i saw him. Timothy Preston. Instantly i was pissed but i knew he was going to try something so i had to be careful. Serena noticed my glare and looked to see him. Great just great! Can't that guy go get run over by a bus! I tried not to over think her thoughts, it wouldn't end well for me.
He sat down next to me, throwing his arm around my shoulder and pulling me closer. "So Faery how have you been?" He asked with a smirk. I very nearly punched him again but i had to be nice. "Well you know how things are Nessie, school and home really boring stuff." I could have found out Timothy was really the lochness monster and that wouldn't have surprised me. "Hows that man whore of a daddy doing?" I forced a smile though what i really wanted to do was kick him where it hurts.
"He's doing good, not getting much tail these days. He's been busy with his police work." Don't hurt him. Don't hurt him. Don't hurt him. "I wonder how many more bastards he has out there, i'm sure you can't be the only one." Shoe Maker walked in to the room and he looked at us, glared and walked over. "No public shows of affection." He barked, the monster removed his arm and laughed lightly. "Sorry sir." I said a quick sorry knowing he would want one from me to. He left but kept a eye on us.
Perfect. I tensed as Timothy turned his body towards me and leaned closer, he pressed me against the back of my chair and smirked as my fist clenched. Don't hit him. Don't hit him. Don't hit him. "What the fuck!" He pulled back with a slight yell. I was confused, i hadn't done anything... He was staring at my neck. I reached up and felt two holes, my eyes widened in alarm and i stuggled to remember something, anything!
