Work was the same as every other night. It was hard work. We had to take all the bullshit, serve the food, the drinks. Deal with people slapping are asses, making awkward noises, and whistling. The rude people yelling for us to get something for them. Then even after all this we cleaned up the messes that they left behind.
Right now... I really just want to kick this one guy. I knew he was trouble the second i heard his thoughts. He was here looking for a good fuck and since Merlottes was really the only bar in Bon Temps, he came here. His name is Conner. I knew that because of the little pep talks he's been giving himself.
Our waitress Holly was his target but she is happily married to our Sheriff Andy, so naturally she turned him away. Now for some reason Holly thought that i would be more than happy to deal with this man because she sent the tan, tall, and annoying ass over to my table. It was at that time that i really wished we didn't have to wear name tags. For some reason he just loved to say my name and loved to imagine me screaming his.
"Faelyn." I sighed inwardly and forced myself to smile at him as he once again demanded my attention. "Can i bother you for a small order of cheese fries and a beer?" Nope. "Of course, I'll have them out as soon as there ready." With that i walked off to go tell Lafayette. Maybe i could get him to mess up the order... No that would just get Lafayette in trouble with Sam.
"I need a small order of cheese fries." I told him. "Hooker is that fine ass messing withchu?" I smiled. "Nothing i can't handle." He chuckled. At least i could count of Lafayette to have my back. Reaching in to the small fridge under the counter i pulled out a cold beer. "Waitress!" Damn how slow can that girl be? She hasn't come to check on our table for the last 15 minutes. If she thinks shes getting a tip shes sadly mistaken.
I. Need. A. Break.
I was so close to just yelling at every single one of these assholes. Granted there are some very nice people here and yes they don't deserve my screaming but um... i wouldn't really be directing it at them... yet it would be very rude and they probably would insist on me losing my job but a lot of people here did deserve my yelling.
"Faelyn!" Conner called me again... i gripped the beer bottle tightly resisting the urge to just throw it at him and forced myself to walk over to him. "Yes?"
"I forgot to ask for a coaster, i wouldn't want to stain your table." A coaster... on a table that has already been chipped by years of wear and tear. She's just so... I can't wait till i can get her in my bed. I put my walls up refusing to listen to anymore, i was only listening to make sure no one had any intention to harm me.
I know Conner had a intention to fuck me senseless, though that was enough to make me feel threatened now. "No problem, i'll be right back." Please Sam have something for me to do in the back! Anything! Just get me away from this guy!
"Need any help Sam?" I asked him. "I've got everything handled, but it seems like you have a new... friend. Is he bothering you?" I nodded. "Unfortunately he's been nothing but polite so i can't have you kick him out. Its just his stare, i have a feeling i know what he wants from me."
"If he does anything, tell me. I'll get rid of him." Sam told me as he watched Conner. "Thanks Sam, i will." Why did i want Godric to stay with Sookie and Eric again? It was as if to make matters worse my father walked in to the bar. His eyes landing on me but instead of walking up to me like i knew he wanted to he just went to sit by Hoyt at one of Arlene's tables. I was relieved by that but i felt bad that i was relieved that my father wanted to avoid me more than straighten out this whole mess.
Deciding that it was just best if i went back to work i brought Conner his coaster and beer and left to take care of the other customers. I surrounded myself in work. Racing from the tables to the kitchen. Taking orders and cleaning tables, sweeping up the floor and wiping down the counters. Anything i could possible do to make time go by faster so i could just see my Aunt.
By the time it turned 3 you would think that Merlottes would be empty. Nope. Sam had to clear out all the drunks and then all of us had to clean up their messes. Dad had left a few hours ago with Hoyt and his wife Summer. I was exsausted. I picked up the broom and walked over the the farthest side of the bar. Tossing bottles in to a small trash can as i went.
"Go on home Fae, no need for you to get no sleep. I can handle things from here. Take the day off tomorrow, you've earned it." Sam said taking the broom away from me. "Lafayette, can you take Fae home?"
"Thanks Sam." I smiled and went in to the back to get my keys. I found that instead of Lafayette taking me home it was now Arlene. Oh boy. Reluctantly i followed her to her car, waving goodbye to everyone before i got in.
"Thanks for giving me a ride." I told her as i dropped a twenty in her drink holder. "Hun you don't need to give me any money." I leaned my head back against the seat. "It's the least i can do for you having to deal with my dad all night. Keep it, you can use it to buy something for yourself or Lisa, Coby, and Mikey."
"Thank you Fae." She smiled. "You can drop me off at the mail box. I forgot to pick up the mail today." Arlene nodded as she turned on the road to Sookie's house. Stopping just in front of the mail box. I got out. "Thanks Arlene, tell the kids i said hi."
"I will hun. Be careful." She looked around nervously. "I will." I waved as she drove off before getting the mail and walking towards the house.
I hesitated before i opened the door, took a deep breath and walked in. Sookie was standing there, she looked normal as if nothing had happened to her. As if she wasn't a vampire now, so she was a little paler but still she looked normal.
With in a second she was in front of me, i could see her fangs. Oh my god. "ERIC!" I screamed. She had me by my neck, lifting me effortlessly off the ground. It seemed like her fangs got longer. For the first time in my life i was afraid of Sookie. "A-aunt Sookie it's m-me. It's Faelyn!"
"As your maker i command you not to harm the girl!" Sookie dropped me and it hurt. I couldn't decide what was worse. The fact that Sookie just attacked me or the fact that Eric was standing there in nothing but a towel. "Please." Sookie begged staring at me, her normal blue eyes darkened by thirst. I realized then that i was the only human near by and it scared the hell out of me.
"You would hate me if i allowed you to drain your niece Sookie. You may not see that now but you will." I hadn't realized i was holding my neck in till Godric was suddenly beside me, examining it. I would guess for damage or whatever. "Sookie needs blood." I found myself saying. It was weird hearing those words leave my mouth. "Theres Tru Blood in the fridge, i'll go get it."
I got up feeling like i was having a out of body exprience. Like i was in shock, i guess. I heated up the Tru Blood and handed it to Sookie. Giving a bottle to Eric as well, though i honestly doubted he would drink it. He would probably just give it to Sookie.
It was strange as hell seeing Sookie drink the bottled blood. She drank her's, Eric's, and all the bottles in the fridge and was still thirsty. "Well this sucks..." Both guys looked at me. "I just meant that its a lot harder to adjust to than i would have thought... it would be easier if she could see past the blood lust."
"It will pass Fae. Sookie will be a normal as one can be with heightened senses and strength." I rolled my eyes at Eric's comment. "Tell me Eric with you heightened senses can you tell me what i am thinking right now?"
"Do not challenge me, you will lose." He smirked. "Can you tell?" I repeated. "Your upset with my cocky attitude." I laughed lightly. "Actually i was thinking i wish my dumbass uncle would put on some clothes."
"Don't ever repeat that again." I smiled. "Uncle. Uncle. Uncle." I repeated. He jumped at me only the be thrown back. Sookie reacted defensively and went to attack Godric only for her to be ordered to stop. Both men were laughing, Sookie didn't understand the situation. She didn't realize this was just a game that i had started, but i hadn't meant to make her think that her mate and maker was in danger.
"Forgive me Sookie. I meant no harm. I was merely playing a game of sorts with my child." Slowly Sookie straighted, coming out of the defensive postition she had just been in. The hesitation in her eyes screamed that she didn't trust us. Though right now, she just couldn't see past the blood lust to remember who we were.
Despite the fact that we had fed Sookie bottles upon bottles of Tru Blood she seemed to thirst for the real thing. I was reminded by that thought that i was the only human nearby. The only blood source. That was the reason she had attacked me early anyways... the reason that she probably wanted to attack me now. Thankfully she couldn't, regretfully i had to be grateful to Eric, if it wasn't for him i would be dead by now.
Well my life just got more difficult...
