Chapter 4

I finished my shift and went home. I parked my car and walked to the house. When I walked in and I noticed Eric was sat on the conch with a open bottle of True Blood in front of him.

- Eric! - I shouted in panic.

- Hello dearest Sookie. There is something we need to talk about.

What now?

I took a deep breath and asked:

- There is...?

He smiled and answered:

- Yes. - then he pointed to the sofa in front of him and I quickly sat there. I was nervous. Really nervrous.

- Well there was a little accident and I need you help.

- What kind of little accident?

- Not important right now.

- Yes it is important. And if you think I'm gonna help you with your vampire problems you're dead wrong.

Eric laughed and said:

- Unfortunately for you dearest Sookie, you are. But don't worry because you won't even have to move a finger, just keep a secret.

I looked puzzled to him. This story wasn't sounding fine to me.

- Maybe it would be better if I explained. The problem is I killed a vampire and now I can't be punished...

- You can't or you don't want? Because when Bill killed Long-Shadow he was judged and punished.

He smiled and nodded:

- Smart Sookie. Yes I don't want to be judge as you must imagine so I will need your help.

- What if I don't want to help?

- Well, in that case, i would said you don't really have a choice.

Great now I was being threatened.

- Is that suppose to be a treat?

- Of course not, Sookie. It's a simple request.

- What would it be? - I was not liking the way this conversation was going.

- I need to stay in here.

- WHAT? NOWAY!

- It's not like you could say no, it is still being my house.

- Hum... I hate you! How can you be sure I won't tell nobody?

He extended his fangs and sent me a lowering look.

- You will not. I know you are furious with Bill right now, aren't you?

- What does that have to do with this?

- Well, Bill will look for me and I don't think the way you are right you will help him.

- Then you suppose wrong because if he comes to look for you, I would be very happy to say where you are.- I regret of what I said in the next moment.

Eric looked super furious and his fangs were full extended. I retracted myself.

- I'm sure Russel Edgington will be very pleasant to find where you are.

I was socked. I looked to him for a few seconds. It was more that possible that would fulfill what he has just said.

- Okay you can stay... but keep your killer hands out of me.

Eric smiled and said:

- I knew you would agree.

I rolled my eyes and decided to go my room. I really needed to sleep.

- Where are you going, Sookie?

- I'm exhausted. I'm going to my room. - I pointed to him and asked - You're staying in your cache, aren't you?

- Yes Sookie. You don't need to worry... for now. There I will be safe. Just make sure you keep a reservation of that True Blood, unless you want to offer your tasty blood to me.

- Not really. I will do that, just stay as far as you can from me, please.

- I will. Let's just see how long can you keep your hand out of me. Good night Sookie.

I literally ran to my room and locked myself. I was still very nervous. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want o lie to Bill. I has never done it, except for... never mind. Eric was a master manipulator and I never knew what to expect from him. He was a danger himself.

I changed to a huge night-grow I didn't know what that crazy vampire who was down stairs could do, and went to bed. I stayed thinking for a few minutes and made some decisions, then I fell a sleep , lost in my strange but beautiful dream.

XxXxXxXxXx

When I wake up, I felt tired and sick. I was super glad that I didn't have to go to work today. The decisions I made were important and could change my life forever so I needed some time to prepare myself for them. I decided to take a shower to relax a bit and then I dressed some comfortable clothes and brushed my wet hair.

While I doing that I remembered the time when Bill did that for me. This simple thought made me almost cry. I was really sensible right now. And after everything that I had passed in the latest months (that actually happened a year ago) I needed sometime to myself.

After what Tara had passed with Naomi she had been telling me that I should listen to Bill's version of the story. I really wanted to do that but there was something inside me that kept telling me not to. I felt like I had the angel and the devil in my shoulders.

I walked downstairs to take my breakfast. When I opened the fridge I notice there was a note on the table.

Dearest Sookie,

I thanks you a lot for your help.

As you must imagine you will also win something with this little agreement.

10,000 $ to be more precise. I thinks that's enough to keep my secret.

I'm sure these days will be very pleasant.

Hope you have a nice day,

Eric N.

While I reading I was feeling more and more frustrated. It was so annoying how he could make treats without making them.

After that I had my breakfast and then I called to Alcide. I needed to know what he knew about Russel.

He answered on the second ring.

- Alcide Herveaux.

- Good morning Cide. It's Sookie. Am I calling too early?

- No of course not. What kind of trouble are you in now?

I laughed and shocked my head.

- Don't worry I'm fine. What about you?

- The same. Then if you're not in troubles, why do I owe the pleasure of your call?

- I need to talk to you. It's important.

- Sure . Do you want to come over or...?

- I would prefer to talk in somewhere else.

- Okay then. What do suggest?

- Don't know.

- I know. You don't want to come over cause of Debbie, isn't it? Well she is not here at the moment. Why don't you come over?

- Okay then. I'll be there in 15 minutes.

- Okay. See you girl. Be careful.

- I will.

I got my purse and headed to my Renault. I was bit worried about what I was going to hear. Maybe it wasn't that bad.

Fifteen minutes later I was at Alcide's door. He opened and hugged me.

- Are you sure you are fine? Cause you looked kinda strange on the phone, girl.

- That's why we need to talk.

He nodded and gestured so I would come in and follow him. He sat in the couch.

- Please say what you want to say.

I took a deep breath and explained him the situation. I looked to attentive to all of my words.

- Well Sookie, I can't deny I knew Russel wasn't dead. Eric asked me to drive me to my firm. And that's what I did. I left him and Bill in there. As far as I know Eric buried Russel in cement.

- And that make what?

- Well I think I was impossible to him to run away. Unless...

- Unless what?

- Unless he had some help...

- Shut the fuck up! Do you think somebody helped him? But who?

- I have no idea but on thing I'm sure, it wasn't me.

- I believe in you. I mean he did that to Debbie and... you know.

- Yes. But I think you are hiding something.

I rolled my eyes and said:

- There is ...

- And...

- It's Eric. He did something he shouldn't and now is hidden in my house.

- What the fuck? And you let him? I mean, are you crazy?

- It's not like I had a choice. It's his house.

- Dam it Sookie! That's a huge problem.

- Just don't worry Alcide. I can take care of myself.

- You should tell Bill.

- That's the problem. He's hiding himself from Bill.

- Dam... I don't know what to tell you.

- Don't worry. Really.

We continued talking for a bit. Actually, he invited me to lunch and I have to admit he cooked very well. Then we said our good-byes and I returned home, getting some True Bloods on the road.

Then I just sat on the couch watching some television. When sunset came, Eric appeared and said:

- Good evening Sookie. How was your day?

- Fine. I have to go to some place now. See you.

- As you wish Sookie. Just remember, don't say a word about my problem.

I simply nodded and went to the car. I was going to talk to Bill. If he wanted of course. That was other of the decision I had made the night before. I parked the car next to his house.

The guard asked my name and said I could come in. I walked threw the stairs and when the door was opened, I thought It's the moment of truth.

TBC...

What do you think? Good, bad, awful? Doesn't matter, please just Review!

I want you to know I DO NOT want Eric or Alcide but sometimes bad thinks turn to good things! Love you all and please REVIEW!
