It was weird waking up in the morning by myself. I had grown use to Sookie yelling at me, making little threats to get me out of bed. Even weirder was walking downstairs and her not being in the kitchen making breakfast. Worse of all was her not being in the house period. My aunt was buried underground with Eric... I shook my head, trying to get the disturbing images out of my head.
I just had to accept that i was alone for the day.
With a sigh i started back upstairs to take a shower. I walked in to my room and picked up a pair o black shorts, white panties and a white tank top. I would just go braless for a little while. It wasn't like i was going to leave the house in till later. When i actually had to go to work.
Work... I was covering Sookie's and My tables with all those perverts. Oh god. I refused to let myself think about that right now and instead left my room to turn on the water in the bathroom. As the water heated up i stripped, tossing my panties and t-shirt in the corner.
I locked the door and bent over to test the temperature before getting in and turning on the shower.
I don't know how long i was in there, probally 30 minutes or so, which was odd for me because i very rarely took that long. I guess i was just worried about Sookie. I didn't even know where she was buried so i could look out for them. I knew that her... grave... was in the yard somewhere.
Before i could even change my mind i turned off the water, dried off, threw on my clothes, brushed my hair and teeth quickly and rushed downstairs, slipping on a pair of Sookie's flip flops, i opened the door and walked outside.
I don't know what i was expecting to find but i know it wasn't my dad to be parked in front of the house. Look Fae I know your growing up and you don't need me anymore. I just wanted to let you know that if you ever need me, you can come home.
He was saying goodbye...
I ran towards the truck as he pulled out. "Dad!" I yelled. Please stop the truck! Please! But he didn't. Have i really hurt him that much? I yelled for him to stop again, i wanted to tell him i was sorry. Explain what was going on in my head but he pulled on to the road.
...I'm so sorry Daddy.
His truck disappeared from sight. I stopped and stared at the end of the drive way just hoping he would turn around and come back. After a few minutes i realized he wasn't going to.
I spun around and took off in to the house. Fumbling with the phone, i eventually was able to see past my tears and dial his number correctly.
"Sook?" He answered.
"Daddy please listen to me. I'm so sorry i've been a idiot, it was just that your warm like a full blooded human and it reminded me to much of that guy, i didn't mean to push you away or hurt you. Please come back, i'm sorry!"
"Your not mad at me because i failed you?"
"How could i be? You tried your best to save me! I would have to be a fool not to see that!"
"I'm sorry Fae, i didn't mean to hurt you. I just thought you would be happier with me out of your life."
"I know and i don't want you out of my life, can you please just come back."
"I wish i could but i have to go to work. I promise i will be at Merlottes as soon as i am off."
"I'm going to hold you to that." I smiled and wiped away the tears with the back of my hand.
"See ya then kiddo."
"See ya soon dad."
It was great knowing that dad wasn't ditching me and that i had apologized for hurting him. But i still wanted to see if i could find the grave. I set the phone down and went outside. I must have walked every inch of the property but i couldn't find it.
Eventually i gave up and settled for watching tv. To bad there was nothing on. So i made breakfast and ate while i tried to think of something else to do.
I smiled and got up from the table quickly washed my plate and ran from the kitchen, up the stairs, putting on a bra slipped on my tenni shoes i ran outside. I continued to run up to the woods and grabbed a tree branch, flipping up in to the tree. I climbed to the very top and layed back on a sturdy branch, looking up at the clouds, watching the birds fly.
I heard a howl shortly afterwards and looked down. A white wolf looked up at me and looked back at the house before looking at me again. I could take a hint. I climbed down and ran to the house, closing the door and locking it. Looking up at the time i saw that it was almost time for me to start walking to work.
Is that why the wolf sent me inside? No... i don't think so. I looked in to my future.
I could hear the howls of wolves as i walk along to road, getting closer to Merlottes. Then suddenly the sounds of fighting. The white wolf ran out to me and growled. I got the hint and took off running. Someone or something was after me. The wolves that Godric had gotten to protect me were fighting whoever it was. The white wolf staying beside me and a black one quickly joined it. I was relieved when the two did not fight. I made it to the door and ran inside Merlottes.
The vision stopped there. When i tried to see more, i couldn't. I guess this was all i was allowed to see for now. Well i make it to work so i guess i'll be fine. Some what reluctant i walked up the stairs and changed in to the Merlottes uniform, brushed my hair and teeth again, before grabbing the extra key Sookie had given me and locked up the house.
I bent down and placed the key in the side off my shoe before walking down the driveway. I was about half way to Merlottes when my vision once again came true. When i got to Merlottes Sam pulled me in to the back. "Fae are you alright? I heard wolves."
"I'm fine. Don't worry." I smiled at him. Even though i wasn't as fine as i appeared. I wanted to get away from him, he was to close. "Just be careful tonight." I nodded and went to work.
If i thought things were bad when i freaked out over Sam, the guy who would do nothing to me. A family friend, Sookie and my boss. Then i should not have walked out to do my job.
It was about half way threw my extra long shift that a drunk man walked in. Of course he sat in my area, though it wouldn't have mattered if he sat anywhere else because the only area that i wasn't dealing with tonight was Arlene's.
Something about him scared the hell out of me. I realized why when he raised his head to order. It was him. That guys brother. He reconized me the same time i did. You! He was furious. "Your coming with me, you little bitch!" He jumped to his feet. I stepped back but he grabbed me by my shirt and made me follow him. Even though
"Sam!" I screamed. "Fae!" Chris pulled out a gun and held it to my head. "Nobody fucking move. This doesn't involve you." He backed up till he was outside. "I never knew you were a fangbanger, after all those years that you spent with Peter." He said threw clentched teeth. "Now Peter is dead because of you! He was going to marry you. You could have had a life, had children! You could have been happy!"
"I don't know you or your brother! You have the wrong girl!" He shook me harshly. "Bull shit Faelyn! Your going to pay for what your dead things did to my brother. I'll make sure of that." Suddenly the white wolf followed closely by two others, a sliver and a black one can at us. "What the hell!" Chris yelled and pulled the gun away from my forehead and pointed it at the wolves.
"No!" I cried out and slammed my body as hard as i could against him and shoved his hand up causing us to fall and him to shoot the sky. "Fae!" Sam yelled running outside. "Bitch!" Chris him me hard in the chest, sending me tumbling across the ground. "Sam." I coughed, struggling to breath, he had knocked the air out of my lungs.
The snarls from the wolves had Chris backing up. I realized after a second that Chris wasn't moving anymore. He was standing there frozen with the same terrified and angry expression. Godric was standing behind him, fangs out, a low menacing growl coming from his lips.
"Can you bring Faelyn inside, i do not wish for her to see this." Sam helped me to my feet. "Sure." He started to lead me inside when i suddenly pulled away. "Wait." I said and walked up to Chris. "I'm fairly sure you can still get out of this alive but your going to have to believe me but first i want to know what you think i've been doing."
"Are you stupid!" He snapped, Godric growled. "He wants to kill you, i would be very careful." I said knowing that i wouldn't be if i was the one Godric was mad at. I just didn't believe Godric would ever hurt me. "Fine... You got together with Peter when you were 16, you dated for 3 years going around to several areas of the united states. Your favorite place to go was New Orleans. Your name is Faelyn Anderson."
I shook my head. "I am 17 years old." He glared. "Stop lying." "My name is Faelyn Stackhouse. I wasn't dating your brother. The both of you kidnapped me and he raped me. He was killed because of it, because my uncle is a vampire and i belong to one. Your sick. You need help."
"Your lying!" "No. I just wanted you to know the truth. To be completely honest, i don't care what happens to you because i am afraid you will do the same thing your brother did to me." I was afraid, afraid that some girl would become this man's target.
"You can either believe her or join your brother." Godric said coldly. "Why the hell would i believe some fucking fangbanger." I looked away as Godric snapped his neck. Looking to the wolves i said. "Thank you, if you hadn't helped me i would probally be dead by now."
"Fae, are you alright?" Sam asked. "Honestly... not really. but I'll be fine. I should probally get back inside." Sam shook his head. "You've been threw a lot. You should got home and get some rest." I smiled. "Sam then you would be low two waitresses and Arlene would go crazy, I'm alright to finish my shift." He sighed.
"Fine but the first sign of something seriously wrong I'm taking you home." He left me outside with the wolves and Godric even though i could see he wasn't comfortable with that, but he needed to settle everyone down. "Godric can you stay with me?" I asked him, almost regretting my moment of weakness. "Of course."
