A Drop of True Blood
Miniseries: Vows of Midnight
Robyn had to admit, the Limousine drive to the nightclub was very entertaining. With Jessica and Hannah having hit it off almost immediately, the two were animatedly and rather excitedly giggling to each other while the rest of Robyn's Pack and Sookie seemed to be enjoying the free champagne they had been offered and relaxing eagerly to the accustomed notes of Robyn's music.
Even Sam, even if she was a little uncomfortable was heartily converging with the girls of her pack, the English wolf seeming to enjoy talking with the girls that Robyn had brought up in conversation so often during their long phone calls.
But, as Robyn watched the girly hive of activity she couldn't help but feel confined. In two days time she would have no loyalty and honorable connection to the ardent she-wolves that sat happily around her. They would no longer seek the comfort and the guidance she could offer them, unable to protect them through terror some situations that they lived through alongside friends, family and Pack.
Robyn was not surprised to know that Samantha had picked up on her rather unexpected and troubled mindset. A bachelorette party after all symbolized the next stage in a woman's life, belonging to the man she had committed herself to and Robyn was jubilant about the whole ceremony, but the last aspect was not something she wanted to do, but knew she had to. She had to relinquish her title to her Brother.
The young hybrid smiled towards Sam who comfortingly reached out and wrapped her small fingers around Robyn's. The English wolf knew what was on her mind, for the pair had discussed in detail the correct course and Sam had provided outstanding guidance, allowing the pair of them to come to the same conclusion she had over a year ago.
However, Robyn and Sam were pulled from the conversation as they felt the Limo coming to a firm stop at the side of the street. Robyn lifted her head; her eyes washing over the smoke covered white bricks of the large nightclub. A small smile fell onto her lips as she took in 'Supe6' neon sigh blinking and shining in the dark summer night air, the large queue of anticipated customers were conversing with each other, their skimpy clothes cladding the ladies as they prepared themselves for a good night out.
But suddenly, she was pulled from her thoughts when she noticed a large bouncer heading towards the door of the Limo. His black suit was adequately kept, his face hard and unforgiving as he observed the rowdy crowd, a few groups obviously having enjoyed their pre-drinks. However, Robyn's lips moved into a large smile as she took in the large figure of James, a member of her Pack.
He held open the door, greeting Keera and her sister Sally warmly as he held out his hand for the two of them as they elegantly removed themselves from the elongated dark car, the pair of them pulling down the hem of their skirts as James continued to aid in Jessica and Hannah's evacuation of the car.
"Hey Bobby, Lewis!" James called over his shoulder as he noticed Robyn patiently sitting on the cushioned chair, shooting James a wary glance towards the enormous queue of people "I'm going to need a hand." He responded, giving Robyn a further comforting and reassuring glance as he held out her hand. The people waiting for the doors to the club to open started to hush and whisper to their friends a little more considering they watched the girls removing themselves from the Limo, but when the other bouncers came to the door of the vehicle their curiosity had spiked.
Nevertheless, as soon as Robyn had placed her hand inside James's warm one as she ducked through the doorway of the car a deafening epidemic rumble of cheers, cries and screaming of Robyn's fan's vibrated over her party who seemed surprised at the sudden interest the waiting customers were paying to their party.
Robyn just smiled towards them, waving a little as she suddenly recognized the continuous flashing of camera's; people calling out to her as if they demanded she sign things. Another day in the life of a Celebrity. However, she did not want to disappoint, afraid that the press could be following her she graciously walked towards the crowd, her friends all hanging back, Sam pointing her an apologetic smile as Robyn just waved her away and Pam headed straight inside.
She continued to make her way down the line of the crowd, posing for pictures, signing pieces of paper and talking with the people who had not expected to see her there. Robyn just hoped she could remain as low key as possible, knowing that the club in which she was attending dealt with all sort of Supernatural Races, even though the outside world didn't necessarily know that of the club.
James and his colleagues continued to monitor Robyn's progress, pushing people away from her if they got to close and tried to calm the rowdy crowd. The rest of her group had already made it towards the VIP door and were waiting for her. Robyn simply glanced over her shoulder towards Sookie who was calling from her before she apologized to the rest of the queue, handed back her burrowed pen and headed towards the door of the club, smiling and waving towards her fans in the process.
When she made it inside the club she let out the large breath that she had been holding onto. Her friends all smiled and encouraged her as she gave them a rather awkward and apologetic smile; they simply shrugged her concerns away and headed towards the bar while Samantha hung back with Robyn.
"Still think this is a good idea?" Robyn asked, a small smile on her lips as she looked down at her friend.
"It's touch and go." Sam replied before she beamed up towards Robyn who chuckled. "Come on, let's get a drink." Sam finished and dragged Robyn by the arm.
The young hybrid had been here a few times with Pamela and on the very rare occasion with Eric, but due to his ownership of Fangtasia he struggled to get out sometimes during the peak season of his club. The club had a very large open space that was used mainly for the dancing. The dance floor having been indented onto the floor meaning two or three steps led down towards the floor that encircled the platform. Two large bars were positioned to the left and right side of the wall, the 'Supe6' Logo shining behind both bars, the bright blue neon lights shining to allow the bartenders to prepare the drinks they had been asked for, large glasses dominating the back surface of the bar while a line of fridges sat underneath the black granite tops, the shelves filled with a variety of different alcoholic beverages.
"Miss Herveaux, what can I get you?" The bartender asked, recognizing her almost immediately as she cautiously looked down towards Sam who was eyeing the heavy crowd, not wanting to get roughly knocked or bashed.
"A gin and tonic and a diet coke please." She responded, observing the bartender who prepared their drinks in front of her. She smiled her thanks and handed him the relevant money before she handed Samantha her beverage. "Look, the others are sitting at the booth over there." Robyn resounded, her enhanced eyesight seeing the bubbly group of girls as she led Sam towards them.
Robyn smiled towards them, joining in with their conversation as they cleared space for the pair of them, making sure Sam was comfortable. All the while, Robyn couldn't help but smiling towards Pamela who was trying to sarcastically drop a man's intentions. Obviously the thigh high purple leather boots and dress had drawn the man to the Vampire who really couldn't display her emotions very well.

Eric was jogging down the curling staircase of his home. His low cut, deep purple vest shirt clung to his sides, his well formed bicep muscles glimmered with power as he heaved open the large oak door of his home, feeling Robyn's family heirloom resting between his pecks as the image of Bill lifted to his eyes.
"Your Majesty. I wasn't expecting you." Eric stated evenly, his gruff voice radiating towards Alcide and Gaspard who were just getting home from picking up Gaspard's brother Phillipe, another American Packmaster.
"I know, but I was instructed by Jessica to bring with me Robyn's friends. Something to do with a Bachelor party." Bill asked with an amused smile that inwardly grew as he took in the brief flash of panic and horror washing onto Eric's features that was quickly masked with a look of indifference.
"Really?" Eric voiced, "Come right in." Eric invited finally, pulling open the door further to allow Bill and Robyn's male Pack members into their home. He closed the door quickly after they had all moved into the building, the group respectively removing their shoes as they headed towards the living room, the comforting warm glow of the lamps radiated around the group as they all converged happily with each other, opening crates of beer or other alcoholic beverages as Gaspard seemed to chat and get requited with his brother.
However, Eric had to rest his hand suddenly to his head as Robyn's presence became known within his mind. The ancient vampire couldn't help but fall back into his mind, noticing Robyn illuminate Silver light radiating around the shield of his mind. He opened the door, curious as to what she could want to show him, but as he delved deeper into Robyn's presence and her mind he realised that she had unconsciously momentarily lost control of her emotions and her safeguard. Eric could only smile to himself, a love swelling deep within him and he consciously passed it to Robyn, feeling the familiar comfort washing over his fiancée as she dealt with the stressful situation she hadn't be prepared for.
Eric turned towards Bill and Alec who took in their wolfish company and struggled to find some sort of place to sit, pulling himself from his mind as he came back to the situation at hand. Eric however turned towards his vampire companions, having been thrusted into the role of host as his King and old friend looked at him.
"Can I interest you gentlemen to a drink?" Eric questioned as he watched their nodding heads. Eric smiled at them in return, his eyes falling on Robyn's brother Alcide who smiled towards him before the ancient Vampire headed towards the kitchen. He pulled out three elegantly expensive glasses before he pulled open the fridge and flask of blood he and Robyn kept in case either of them were hungry.
He poured the thick liquid into the glasses, observing the sickly sweet smell that washed to his nose, ignoring the instinct to release his fangs as he realised he had had very little to drink since Gaspard and his party had arrived due to limited time spent with Robyn.
Eric shook himself from his thoughts as he lifted the three glasses, two of them held strongly in one hand as he headed back down the thin corridor, passed the dining room that was to his right, noting how the noise levels were beginning to rise. Alec and Bill looked towards their elder, smiled and took their offered beverage before the three of them got lost amongst the wolf conversation.
"My goodness Alcide, do you remember when you first met my brother and Samantha?" Phillipe asked, his deep chestnut eyes sparkling with humour as they shone from underneath his dark bushy eyebrows his accent mixed with French and American aspects, a vital different compared to his brother who sounded far more English than his brother.
"Almost knocked the poor fellow out." Alcide said with an embarrassed smile as he looked towards Gaspard, the Packmaster rolling his eyes, not surprised that his brother would bring up the conversation; he was trying to tease him in front of the other wolves and like usual Gaspard wasn't going to react to him. "I am sorry for that Gaspard."
"No need." Gaspard expressed moving his hand a little as if to wave him off. "We were unaware that we were running in Robyn's territory. Phillipe should have been paying more attention to territory lines."
"Just think, if I hadn't almost knocked out your brother, if you had been conscious of Robyn's territory, we would have never of met; Gaspard and Samantha wouldn't be staying here and you wouldn't know you were about to become an Uncle." Alcide voiced, his eyebrows moving into a raised position, as he looked towards Phillipe with an all-knowing expression joyous that the pair were able to see each other again after a long time separated.
"Very good point. Just think, me an Uncle." He stated, shivering a little before he looked back towards Gaspard. "But what's worst is Gaspard, a father." Phillipe joked, nudging his brother who just looked at his brother, his eyes unable to hold the humour like Philippe's. Eric simply moved to talk with Alec who was suddenly rather happy to not be involved in the eventual fight that might have ensured between the brothers.

Robyn dropped her body wearily onto the booth chair, letting out the air in her lungs as she took another sip of her gin. Sam was smiling at her happily, noticing how Robyn had suddenly loosened up, and enjoying herself more as she danced with her wolves.
Sam had recognized how Robyn seemed to be taking all the people coming up to her in her stride, person after person, photo after photo, signature after signature. Sam really didn't know how she could do it; she did not have the patience to be able to smile and be so kind to complete strangers who interrupted her night out, but then Sam was very different to Robyn and the Packmaster knew that being with her fans was part of her job.
However, Robyn seemed to have gotten over the initial nervousness for the evening; maybe the large quantities of alcohol she had consumed relaxed her, but as Robyn smiled to her pregnant friend Sam realised that Robyn was in complete control, her mind so clear it was like she hadn't even had a drink.
"I'm jealous, if I had as much as you I would be on the floor." Sam laughed as Robyn smiled with her, righting her position as she quickly glanced at her phone to check the time before she gave Sam her undivided attention.
"That's the only problem by being half Vampire." Robyn smiled "I can't get drunk." She laughed just as Keera and Tammy collapsed next to Robyn, the latter looping her arm through Robyn's as she rested her head on her Alpha's shoulder.
"I tell ya, getting pretty rough out there." Tammy breathed just for Sam and Robyn to look towards her.
"Was pretty sure Pam was gonna bite that guys face off if he continued the way he was going." Keera replied in acknowledgement as the two girls giggled with each other, obviously having had a few too many drinks.
"Is Sookie and Jessica still getting eyed up by the rouge werewolves?" Robyn asked, her curiosity having spiked with interest as she looked towards her friends who simply nodded.
"Sookie's passed it too even care, but I think Jessica is enjoying the attention." Keera replied.
"Not surprising considering she's just broken up with her boyfriend."
"Let hope she doesn't go jumping into bed with one of them then. I wouldn't want to see you introducing one of the boys into the pack, they're only after one thing." Tammy stated nervously, speaking towards Robyn and Sam who could only smile at her reassuringly, knowing that this would soon not be her responsibility as her brother would be taking over from her.
"Well your lucky, you have Thomas to fight for you. Who do I have?" Keera asked, her glass still pressed firmly into her hand as she took a careful sip, trying not to sway in her seat as she drank.
"You have Sally, she sure as hell can put up a fight when she wants too." Robyn replied with a smile, which caused the girls around her to join in. However, the four of them were pulled from their thoughts when the familiar guitar rifts and notes of Robyn's written song 'Ignorance' resounded over the large speakers. People rushed to the dance floor, people screaming on the top of their lungs as they started to dance to Robyn's music.
Sam had to smile and encourage Robyn who had suddenly shrunk deeper into her seat as she tried to hide from the people, embarrassed that she was to listen to her music. The DJ made her cheeks flush even deeper crimson when he declared to the whole club that she was currently in the building and Samantha really couldn't control her laughter as Keera and Tammy dragged her to the dance floor, urging her to sing for them as they danced.
Robyn continued to dance for the next forty-five minutes or so, but as her and her girlfriends continued to enjoy themselves, the rouge wolves started to get more proficient and assured in the way they talked and spoke to Robyn and her friends. The Packmaster was finding it very awkward and was struggling to stop herself from hitting one of the guys as he continued to force himself onto Tammy who was politely moving away from him and leaving Sally to do the bolshie talking to get him to leave them alone.
However, Robyn knew that the quick telling off and the moving away from the boys would only work for a small time and now it seemed Sally had had enough. She was currently undergoing a face off, having shoved the guys rather viciously away from her. Robyn knew that the space was wide enough to not cause that much damage or to wound others if they were to get into a fight, but Robyn was being watched and she knew she needed to try and prevent a fight as best she could.
"Come on Sally, he's not worth it." Robyn voiced as she pressed her hands to Sally's shoulders, trying to drag her away and back towards the table where she noticed both Sam and Pamela were watching the confrontation with interest.
"That's it she-wolf, do as your told." The boy snarled, his eyes dark with conflict, his voice gruff with arousal as he laughed and joked with the woman, trying to get them to fight with him.
"We can look after ourselves thanks." Robyn replied sickly sweet, turning Sally and her group around, Sookie struggling more than the others as she stumbled towards their booth. However as they walked away the young man who had been harassing Sally moved at lightening speed and brought Robyn's feet from underneath her, causing the Packmaster to land on her back, the air washing from her lungs as she growled and flung herself back to her feet.
"That was uncalled for." Robyn growled, her eyes glowing violet as the wolf within her flared with anger. Her girls rallying around her as they faced their own opponent from the opposing pack. Robyn was surprised by how the other Supernaturals around them seemed to look away uninterested, obviously willing to allow them to scuffle and come up with their own resolution.
"Don't hold back or I am going to break you." The leader snarled at Robyn. The Packmaster just smiled towards him, watching as he bent down and stretched his back, turning his neck from left to right and popping it with a series of clicks in rapid succession, trying to loosen up his body in preparation.
"Honey, you're going to need all the help you can get." Robyn laughed, her lips forming into an elegant smile, her scar shining underneath the bright lights that flashed over the dancing crowd as well as the fighting group. The wolf rushed at Robyn. The hybrid dipped and weaved right, curling her palm into a tight fist, landing a blow to the wolves' neck, causing him to fling out of control. Robyn just smiled as she took another step to regain her posture. "Come on then, give me your best shot." She chuckled, the others of her party and his had suddenly started on each other and Robyn could hear his growling from his crouched position in front of her.
The guy ran at her again, grasping hold of her shoulder to keep her from moving as he raised his other fist as if to land a blow, Robyn just grasped hold of the hand that was being held on her shoulder and twisted it behind his back, shoving him away just in the nick of time as his hand was only a hairs breath away from her jaw. Robyn was just about to land a blow to the back of his shoulder just for him to sidestep to the right, just enough so he was out of Robyn's reach.
But, back at the table both Pam and Samantha were watching on with humour shining within their eyes as they took in the rather typical bar fight that you would find in movies. Sam laughed as she watched Robyn sauntering up towards the guy who constantly lunged for her, obviously not up to her impeccable fighting ability, not wanting to admit that he would lose to a girl.
"Color me impressed, you guys know how to party." Pam voiced towards Sam, her face voided of all emotion as she looked towards Sam who had also turned her attention towards the vampire.
"I'm surprised you're not joining in."
"That requires leg work, its far better watching from here." Pam finished, as she looked towards her vampire sister who punched the guy right in the eye, the guy stumbling away from her as he cradled his bruised eyes. Sam just chuckled as she lifted her glass towards the vampire who awkwardly lifted an empty one of her own and chinked it with the werewolf before the pair of them pulled their attention back to Robyn's pack; obviously enjoying the entertainment as Hannah, Jessica and Sookie joined them.
Quickly, before the guy could respond with a follow-up, Robyn swiftly punched the guy in the stomach, knocking the wind out of the werewolf and stunning him for a brief moment. The fight had taken the pair of them dangerously close to the edge of the arena, Robyn wobbling dangerously by the steps that led to the main area, her girls grunting and landing blow after blow all around her as they defended themselves with ease.
Robyn shot another round of punches towards the guy, making easy work of the wolf who had been rendered open to another attack and Robyn was wondering when he was going to give up, but she was brought out of her thoughts as the guy lunged towards her just for Robyn to oblige him with another offensive. She placed a simple sidekick into the werewolves' stomach, doubling him over before she followed that up with a quick rising uppercut.
The crowed watching their fight let out a collective wince for the man just for him to stumble, lashing out towards Robyn who wasn't expecting the inexperienced attack and was flung towards the wall. But, she took the attack as an advantage and by using her environment to adapt her move; she back flipped onto the wall and pushed off towards her opponent. The maneuver sent her front flipping towards the man and just before she reached the wolf, she flattened her body out, feet first. Instead of colliding with his adversary though, Robyn opted to wrap his feet around his neck instead.
The maneuver caught the chap off guard as he was recovering his wits once again. Robyn gave him an apologetic shrug, mid air. As if to say, "sorry" for what was going to come next. The hybrid used her momentum in a creative way, instead of piling into her opponent; instead, she jerked to the right and swung around the man. Then, when she was directly behind her opponent, Robyn curled her legs into her body and angled her figure towards the ground, changing the direction of his fall, putting the weight of his jump into a powerful throw.
The man was pulled off his feet violently and was thrown across the floor. He skidded and tumbled along the ground, uncontrolled. The other end of the dance floor stopped him, about five feet from the wall at the back of the dance floor. A groan escaped his lips as the pain from the attack started setting in.
Robyn looked up and her eyes opened with surprise. As Robyn was about to let go of the guy, during the throw, she had planted both hands on the ground. When she completed the attack, she sprang off her hands, throwing herself into a quick back spring, followed by another, another, and another to build momentum. When she was almost to her attacker, the hybrid bounded off the ground and threw herself into a spin that would have made an expert gymnast jealous. Flattening out in the air like a sideways whirling tornado, so that her body was perpendicular with the guy's as she neared the fallen werewolf, Robyn's spin got increasingly fast as she whipped her arms in and out, efficiently putting Robyn into an almost uncontrollable rotation, arced at the man.
Just as Robyn was about to reach her attacker, the hybrid threw one of her legs out, shin angled down. The entire force from the spin was pushed into her leg. The entire room was silent and it was as if time itself was holding its breath as Robyn descended. Every person watching the fight was so enthralled, watching for the next move in the epic fight.
The guy barely had time to breath, let alone dodge. But, it was a testament to his experience in battle that he kept the presence of mind to roll to the right in a desperate dodge, towards the wall of the dance floor. Just in time.
Robyn's leg smashed into the ground, slamming into the ground with her knee and shin flat into the wood, crushing the floor into a torrent of splinters that rose up around her in the air.
Seeing the guy dodge, most warriors would have allowed their opponent to stand up. That was the honorable thing to do. But, there are no rules in a bar fight. With the speed of a cat, while the splinters were still hanging mid air, Robyn spun her body around and swept her foot towards her opponent's head. The attack was so quick that he wasn't hurt; it actually pushed the werewolf a foot and a half into the air.
Swiftly, Robyn rolled forward and halfway through, slid straight, so that she slid under the guy and stopped facing the rising werewolves' back. The guy cocked both arms back and double punched upwards into Robyn's back. Air whooshed from the hybrid's lungs as she was pushed even higher into the air. The impact from the attack gave Robyn a couple feet between her and her attacker.
Robyn looked to her right and saw the lip of the dance floor, just an arms length away now, "This is going to hurt you, just as much as it is going to hurt me." Robyn promised him with a forewarned wince. Robyn quickly performed a handspring to her feet, crouched just under the guy with her legs coiled underneath her. Robyn exploded from the ground towards his rising form. She grabbed the wolf around the waist; twisted mid air, and arched the two of them towards the wall, easily angling the guys head first, towards the raised lip of the dance floor.
The werewolf collided with the raised floor and his head plowed through the woodwork with a painful cracking and crunching sound as the wood shattered under the enormous pressure from the attack. Robyn let go and managed to aim herself towards the level below. She landed with ease and rolled to her feet. Then, Robyn looked back at the werewolf and a look of brief sadness flashed across her face.
His body hung vertical for the briefest moment, suspended in an ephemeral moment in time, then he collapsed, head still firmly stuck into the ground. The rest of him hit the ground in an uncomfortable position, but he was still breathing.
"Ouch." Robyn winced as Keera came rushing to her side "That had to hurt." Robyn continued before James and his buddies came rushing in to respond to the outburst of a fight. When he noticed that it was Robyn and her group, Keera nursing a nasty black eye and Sally supporting a split lip he couldn't help but smile. His eyes then washed down to the guy that his Packmaster had knocked out, the bouncer placing his hand firmly to his hip.
"About time someone taught that guy a lesson." James said with a smile.
"Well, when he wakes up you can tell him he was beaten by a Packmaster." Robyn chuckled just as Keera looked down at one of her hands and noticed one of her nails were bleeding.
"Dammit!" She snapped to herself, causing her pack members to look at her "I broke a nail!" She exclaimed in frustration and caused Robyn and her friends to laugh at her.

Eric was favorably conversing with Alcide and Gaspard, the English Packmaster surprised by how well Alcide and Eric seemed to deal with each other. Samantha had expressed multiple times Robyn's panic over her brothers and now Fiancée's relationship, expressing that the pair of them could hardly stand each other.
But, as Gaspard observed the two, he knew that something must have happened over the last couple of years. Maybe it was the mutual understanding of Robyn's predicament that led to her Vampire turning, or the fact that the pair of them had learnt to love Robyn in very different ways had resulted in this uncanny friendship.
Nevertheless, even though Alcide was currently talking to the ancient Vampire Eric was pulled from the conversation when he shoved his head towards the front door, obviously hearing something coming up his driveway. The Vampire excused himself, his towering form walking towards the large oak door that allowed the loud giggles and shouting voices to symbolize the return of the women.
The Viking vampire couldn't help the uncommon smile from falling onto his lips as he took in the stumbling girls in front of him. Robyn had her shoes in her hand, her heel having somehow snapped rendering them useless. Keera was wincing whenever she touched the surrounding skin on her left eye while Sally was dabbing a tissue to her lip.
As they continued to stumble up the driveway Jessica and Hannah were in hysterics, Samantha was standing closely towards Robyn as the two wolves laughed and joked with the younger wolves that obeyed Robyn. However, Eric's smile widened when Robyn lifted her eyes towards him, a blissful smile washing to her own lips as she grew closer towards him, her bare feet padding against the cold pathway of their drive.
Eric moved aside, pressing his back to the doorframe as Robyn allowed the others to move into the house before her, her eyes studying her friends well being carefully, her sensitive hearing not failing to notice the joyful drunken noises as the guys and girls converged with each other once again.
"I take it from the lack of shoes, the bruises and the drunken ladies you had a good evening." Eric smiled as he closed the door behind Robyn who stood very close to him, her head resting on the back of her neck as she hummed up towards him, purring in contentment.
"What do you expect when a pack of female wolves and a few vampire friends go out for a drink." Robyn laughed, resulting in Eric's own smile to wash onto his features as the others welcomed and conversed with each other. Samantha and Gaspard talking within in a heated discussion, the Packmaster obviously displeased by the beat up appearances of some of the ladies; considering Tammy had a large rip in her jacket, the sleeve hanging dangerously apart from the seams while Robyn was unable to repair her broken heel.
"Why am I not surprised that you were involved in a bar fight?" Eric voiced as Robyn moved her hands to the base of his shirt, lifting the material so her hands were positioned underneath and started to slide her fingers across the toned muscles of his stomach. Robyn smiled seductively as she watched the darkness take over his eyes, his desire spiraling around him.
"Admit it, my knack of getting into trouble drew you to me." She declared as his hands landed on her hips, emboldened Robyn slid her entire hand underneath his shirt again and splayed her fingers over his sides, feeling the curving of his waist as she reached up on her tiptoes. She brushed her lips over his. He caught her bottom lip between his, kissing her with as much unrestraint before the pair of them pulled away as the voice of Gaspard grew louder.
"Please tell me you didn't start a fight." Gaspard sighed as he looked down towards his girlfriend who was looking up at him with her mouth open as she glared up at him a little.
"Do you really think I'm in a position too?" Sam replied hotly, one of her hands pressed to her hip as she looked up towards her boyfriend who gave a brief look over his shoulder towards his brother who was laughing at the whole thing, his eyes observing the intense conversation as he found the humor in the situation. "Robyn started it!"
"I did not!" Robyn exclaimed, feigning hurt as she pushed herself from Eric's chest as she felt the warm softness of her carpet between her toes as she headed into the cramped living room, noting how Alec was struggling to calm an excited Hannah while Bill seemed to be trying to talk with a drunken Sookie. "Sally was the one who initiated it, I wasn't about to leave her on her own to face four rather large werewolves."
"Hey, don't try to pass the blame, those guys had been bugging us all evening. They deserved what they got." Sally stated, wincing as she pressed the tissue back to her swollen lip, moving her eyes to her hand as she noticed the droplets of blood that was smudged onto the napkin. "Besides did you really expect us to go through the evening without getting into some trouble?"
"That's not the point." Robyn replied with a smile as Keera came to stand next to her sister, pushing her long hair over her shoulder as she gently pressed her eye.
"What the point is…" Keera started before a more valuable point seemed to come to her and her expression changed with the thought "Where did you learn to fight like that?"
"Like what?" Alcide asked, his large arms holding onto Sookie who was swaying on her feet as she tried to understand the conversation, having pushed away from her ex-boyfriend.
"She literally wrapped her legs around the guys neck and swung him to the floor." Keera expressed
"Don't forget the backflips!" Hannah exclaimed, "The backflips were cool!"
"You can do a backflip?" Alcide asked, one of his eyebrows rose as he looked towards his sister "Since when?"
"Since forever." Robyn said with a bemused shake of the head. "How else did you think I broke the heel of my shoe?" Robyn finished with a smile, rubbing the back of her neck as she tried to quickly change the subject.
"Well I don't know about you guys but we're just about ready to head off." Tammy voiced, her arms wrapped firmly around her boyfriend who had his own arms wrapped around her shoulders, a loving smile on his lips as he planted a very gentle kiss to her forehead.
"Good idea." Alcide stated, shooting Phillipe a cautious look before he moved his eyes down towards Sookie who was unusually quiet and swaying on her feet. "I'll take you home Sookie."
Sookie just nodded her head as she allowed herself to be guided to the door, her balance was appalling needing Alcide's help to walk as she clung onto him. The others followed suit, leaving Gaspard and his company in the living room while Eric and Robyn headed towards the door to say goodbye to their guests.
"Thanks for coming Sookie." Robyn whispered into the fairies ear as they embraced. Sookie just squeezed as tight as she could before she stepped back into Alcide's strong arms. However, Robyn and Eric knew what was happening before Alcide could even register Sookie's bent over posture, the young woman clinging onto her stomach as she brought up the alcohol her body couldn't digest. Sookie's vomit splattered over the driveway and Alcide's shoes; Robyn seriously struggled to hold back the laughter that rose into her throat as she took in Alcide's unimpressed expression while Eric just smirked towards his fiancée's brother.
"She must be very excited for you to take her home." Eric responded coolly which Alcide replied with a cold glare, that was enough to drive Robyn into hysterics and the back of her hand couldn't hide her amusement any further.
"You're a wonderful sister you know that." He growled at Robyn who just smiled and nodded her head, her body still swaying with her stifled laughter,
"And don't you know it!" She replied before Alcide guided Sookie towards his Van while Robyn and Eric continued to say their farewells to their friends and companions.
