I wake slowly to find that Godric is not in the bed. I can hear him talking though I can’t understand a single word of whatever language he’s speaking. I sit up pulling the sheet up with me and look around but he’s not in the bedroom. I stand and wrap the sheet around me and I move into the sitting area and see he’s talking on the phone.
He smiles when he sees me and motions me to sit beside him. I join him on the couch but rather than sitting beside him I slide sideways onto his lap. He presses a kiss to my forehead as I snuggle into him and one of his arms comes around to hold me. I lay my head against his shoulder as he continues talking on the phone.
Finally he hangs up, “I was wondering if you were going to sleep the night away”.
I look up to the clock to find it’s almost four in the morning, “Well, you wore me out”. I blush as soon as it comes out of my mouth. I can feel the slight shake of his body that comes with the laugh he produces.
“Are you hurt”, he asks when he stops laughing.
“A little sore but I’ll be fine. Who was on the phone”?
“Eric, apparently Sookie stopped by the bar tonight with a drawing of a scar from a dead man in Bill’s overturned car”.
“Let me guess the same symbol you two have been hunting for”?
He nods, “Eric got her to calm down and let him do some digging around before running off”.
“So why exactly am I going to be in a werewolf bar when they’re turning if we already know who’s in charge”?
“I have no idea and I would really prefer if you were to stay home while we work this out”, he says.
“I’m not going to just sit at home and worry about you all the time. I was in that vision which means I’m somehow supposed to be there”.
“Your life is already so fragile I just don’t wish to risk it”.
“And that brings us to something that we should probably start discussing now since I know I’m going to have to fight for it”.
“What is that”?
I take a deep breath and meet his eyes, “Eventually turning me”.
I can feel him tense against me and his eye’s turn cold, “No”. With that he stood up and set me back on the couch and walked into the bedroom.
Well, that’s just great. I get up wrapping the sheet tighter and follow him. He’s sitting on the edge of the bed when I walk in, “Are we going to discuss it or is that your final answer”.
“I refuse to ruin your life”.
“Why do you think it would ruin my life”, I asked though I knew as soon as he raised his eyes to mine. The sadness that I hadn’t seen in days had returned. I moved over sitting beside him, “I just want you to think about it. I’m gonna keep getting older and die one day when I would rather be here with you”.
“Why would you want to be turned”?
“I don’t mean immediately I just want you to think about it. What would you do if an accident happened and I’m pretty much dead and blood isn’t enough to fix me”?
“I don’t know”, he replies.
“That’s why I want you to think about it. I’m gonna be in a werewolf bar probably in a few days and what if something goes wrong. You should at least start deciding if you would turn me or let me die”.
His eyes turned to me, “I will consider it”.
“That’s all I’m asking for. So, I was thinking since I slept all night once you go to sleep I’m gonna go shopping. I don’t think Eric has gotten any food yet and I thought I would go by the school to see what my options are”.
“Why do you need to finish school”, he asked.
“So I can eventually get a decent job. I’m sure you would prefer if I didn’t end up somewhere like Fangtasia”.
His head snaps my direction, “You are never to work at Fangtasia. Why do you need a job anyway I’m perfectly capable of giving you anything you want”.
I roll my eyes as I stand up going to my suitcase to put some real clothes on, “I’m not going to live off you when I’m perfectly capable of working”. I pull on a pair of jeans and a plain black t-shirt before I lay on the bed.
“You’ll need a night job and most of the places open at night I won’t have you working at”, he says determinedly.
I sigh, “We’ll figure that out when it comes to it. For now we should be trying to figure out what Edgington is up to and why he took Bill”.
“I’m sure it’s something none of us want”, he says lying back on the bed.
I look at the clock to realize the sun would be rising soon, “Should I stay in bed until you fall asleep or will you let me up once you’re out”?
He smiled and leaned forward kissing me softly, “I would prefer if you would stay here but if you would just lay beside me until I fall asleep I would like that”.
I reached out linking our fingers together while we wait for the sun to rise. I watch as his eyes close and he falls asleep. I climb out of bed and after grabbing everything I would need for the day I head upstairs. I know it’s too early to leave to go by the school so I take a seat in the main room and wait.
Thankfully Eric keeps his car keys by the door so I grab them and quickly walk out. When I get outside I find a man standing by the car. He’s tall with a lot of muscles and dark hair and eyes. He also had some tattoos showing on his wrist under his sleeves.
“Who are you”, I ask.
“Eric hired me in the case you needed to go somewhere during the day”, he says.
“Like a body guard or a driver”?
“Both”, he replied simply.
There was no indication he was lying so when he opened the back door on the car I got in. It was quiet in the car as he drove.
“Where do you need to go Ms. Newlin”, he asked.
I winced when he called me by my last name, “It’s Jasmine and I need to go by the school first then the grocery store. What should I call you”?
He nodded when I gave him my name, “Daniel is fine”.
The rest of the drive was silent and before I knew it we were pulling up to the high school. Daniel came in as well and the principle; Mr. Killinger, gave us a quick tour before going to his office where he gave us some paperwork to take home and if I decided to go here I just needed to get my guardian to fill out and return to the school.
When we back in the car and are on our way to the grocery store we stop and get a coffee. I was going through the paperwork when it came to me; Steve Newlin is still my legal guardian. That’s going to cause some problems.
I got the shopping done and with another stop for coffee we were headed back to the house. I noticed it was only going on two in the afternoon.
“How far is it to Bon Temps”, I asked Daniel.
“It’s about an hour or so drive”.
“Can you take me out there I have a friend I’d like to visit”?
“I’m not sure Eric would agree with me taking that far out”, he replied.
“I’ll talk to them. It was my idea anyways”, I say while pulling out my phone and sending a quick text to Godric that I was going to see Sookie. Once it was sent I called Sookie finding out where she was and letting her know I was coming out to visit. We agreed to meet at Merlotte’s where she waitressed.
We stopped by and dropped off the food before heading to Bon Temps. The silence made the drive seem longer but soon enough we were pulling up outside the Bar and Grill. I climbed out quickly once we were parked and Daniel followed me at a decent distance. I was surprised at how busy it was inside. After looking around and not seeing Sookie a woman with red hair comes up.
“Welcome to Merlotte’s. I’m Arlene is it just you today”, she asked while grabbing a menu.
“Actually I’m supposed to be meeting Sookie here. Have you seen her”, I ask.
“No not today at least. Would like to sit and get something to drink while you wait”?
“Sure”, I follow her over to a table and sit so I can see the door and get some water.
It’s not too long after that when Sookie comes in. As soon as she sees me she smiles and comes over to the table, “Hey, sorry I was kinda late”.
“I only got here a few minutes ago myself so it’s no problem”, I tell her.
“Come on I want to introduce you to some people”, she said pulling me out of the chair. She stops by the bar first, “This is my best-friend Tara. Tara this is Jasmine”.
The girl behind the bar gave me a look like she didn’t really trust me. “Hi”, was all she said.
“Hi”, I replied awkwardly and if Sookie had noticed she say anything as she pulled me away to the window to the kitchen.
A dark skinned man with makeup on came over to the window, “Well Sookie who is this sweet young peach you brought to see little ole me”? I couldn’t help the blush that rose on my face and he chuckled lightly.
“Lafayette this is Jasmine the girl from Dallas I told you about”, she told him. “Back in the corner is Terry”.
“Nice to meet you both”, I tell him.
“Well, aren’t you sweet as pie”, he said. Terry just did a light wave and glanced up.
“Have you seen Sam”, Sookie asked him.
“He’s back in the office I think”, he replied moving back over to the grill.
I followed Sookie over to the door where she knocked and waited until we heard a faint, “Come in”.
“Hey Sam”, Sookie says as she walks through the door.
“Sookie I’m busy right now”, the man says facing away from us.
“I just wanted to make sure you were alright after the day”, she tells him and he turns around.
“Who is this”, he asks looking at me. I can see he’s protective of Sookie immediately and probably likes her.
“This is Jasmine she’s a friend from Dallas”, she said.
“Come all this way just to visit Sookie”, Sam asked moving towards me.
“It’s not that far I actually moved to Shreveport after everything in Dallas”, I tell him.
“You look kinda young to be on your own”, he comments.
“Well, I’m 16 but I’m staying with Godric”.
His eyebrow rose, “Why would you be with vampires. I’m sure your parents wouldn’t approve”.
I can feel some anger rise at that since it really was none of his business, “My parents are dead and my brother knows I’m with vampires. He told me not to come back home and that he would disown me for going with him”.
“You chose a fanger over your brother”, he asked incredulously.
“Yes, and if Steve Newlin was your brother and you saw what he was actually capable of you would to”, I tell him. I look over to Sookie, “I’m gonna get some air”.
She nods, “There’s a back door just out the door and to the left”, she said while sending a glare at Sam.
I quickly move outside and take a deep breath. It’s getting harder to control my emotions. I had everything so under control before the last month and now it’s like I have no control. I hate feeling out of control. I turned quickly when I heard a twig snap not far behind me. There was a man just standing there with long hair and biker style clothes. Even from this far away I could tell something was wrong with him.
I could feel fear fill me when he moved toward me but then the door behind me swung open. I jumped glancing behind me to see Terry. I didn’t say anything to him as I rushed back in to the office.
I didn’t knock just walked right in, “Sookie there was a guy out back and there was something wrong”.
She grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the office rushing to the back door with Sam close behind us, “Where was he”, she asked.
I pointed where he was and both Sookie and Sam took off towards the woods. I was not going out there and I went back inside. I glanced over to where Daniel was sitting and I went over to Arlene.
“Do I owe anything for the water”, I ask.
“No sweetie you’re fine”, she says.
I go ahead and pull out a five dollar bill and hand it to her and she tried to refuse, “It’s just a tip for your time”.
She smiles and finally accepts it and I go out the front door and climb into the back seat of the car. Shortly after Daniel comes out and without a word we head out back to the house. About halfway home I get a call from Sookie.
“Hey”, I answer.
“Where’d you go”, she asked. “I was worried when I came back and you were gone I thought the werewolf had come back”.
“He was a werewolf”? Oh my goodness I thought. That could have been really bad if Terry hadn’t come out. I notice Daniel tense in the front seat and we speed up some.
“Yeah, he had changed before we found him but we could tell by the smell as well as the foot prints he left”.
“Will you tell Terry thank you for me? That guy was just about to come toward me when Terry came out the door”, I tell her.
“Yeah I’ll tell him the next time I see him. I’m gonna go be careful on your way back”, she said.
“I’ll be really careful”, I tell her before we hang up.
“There was a werewolf back there”, Daniel asks.
“Yeah, I went out back to get some air and he was just there”, I tell him.
“Eric’s going to be twice as angry now; you know that right”, he tells me.
I nod, “Well at least we’ll have a while once we get back before sunset”.
“I’ll just stay outside in case they are awake”, he says.
“Why would they be awake”?
“If you’ve had their blood they’ll always know where you are and be able to know if you’re in trouble”, he says.
“I haven’t had any so you should be fine until I tell them”.
He nods and then we’re pulling into the driveway. I quickly go into the house and make a sandwich for dinner. Once I finish eating I go down to the room and find Godric is still sleeping. I climb onto the bed leaning against the headboard. I’m actually surprised when he moves closer to me and starts using my thigh as a pillow. I smile and run my fingers through his hair. I spend most of the time he’s sleeping thinking about everything that could have gone wrong back at Merlotte’s.
