Its early afternoon when we finally arrive in Jackson. I send a text to Godric letting him know we were here since I know he’s sleeping. We pull up to an apartment complex and are soon inside. Alcide goes to take a shower and Sookie and I sit on the couch and wait.
I just sit in the quiet and close my eyes leaning back on the couch. I’m exhausted after being up most of the night. Though I can say it was a very enjoyable night I think as my mind drifts back to the early part of the night.
Sookie gasps and I look up at her, “Oh my goodness”.
“What”?
“How was it”, she asks smiling.
“What”, I ask again confused.
“I had a feeling you and Godric were close but I didn’t realize you were together”, she says.
It dawns on me, “Were you in my head”?
“I didn’t mean to I just let my guard down for a second”, she says.
“No it’s fine I get it. It has to be exhausting trying to fight what you can do all the time”, I say.
“It’s exhausting. Thankfully I can’t read vampires. I’m not entirely sure I would want to know what goes on in their heads”.
I laugh and the room falls back into silence.
“Do we have a plan”, I ask after a few minutes.
“Well, I need to be somewhere that the werewolves may be so I can listen in and see where Bill might be”, Sookie says.
“Really, I’m gonna need some coffee if we’re going into a werewolf bar tonight”, I sigh out.
“How do you know where we’ll be going”, Alcide asks coming out of the other room in jeans and a plaid shirt.
Whoops I look over to Sookie and she shrugs, “It was just a guess”, I try.
He looks like he doesn’t believe me, “It didn’t sound like a guess”.
I close my eyes, “Fine, I sometimes get glimpses of what’s gonna happen”.
He looks even more doubtful thankfully Sookie interferes, “She does I’ve seen it”.
He goes over to the fridge and opens it pulling some stuff out, “So if you already know we’re going there why are we going there”?
“I’m not entirely sure I only saw a piece of what happened not all of it”, I tell him.
Sookie moves closer to me, “Can I see”?
I hold out my hand to her and think of the vision.
“It probably has to do with what I can do. Maybe I hear something or something may have happened before the vision”, she suggests.
“Well”, he says as he sets some plates on the table, “we should eat and then get ready to go”.
We eat the sandwiches Alcide made quickly and he lets us use his bedroom while we’re here and he’s taking the couch. I pull out my suitcase and start going through my clothes when the phone rings.
I smile when I answer it, “Hey”.
“Everything going alright”, Godric asks.
“Yeah, I kinda had to tell Alcide that I had the vision”.
“Why would he need to know that”?
“I was talking to Sookie and made a comment about going to a werewolf bar when he came in the room”.
“You have to be more careful little one. The more people who know what you can do just puts you in more danger”.
“I know I hadn’t intended to tell him. I’ll watch what I say around others”, I tell him. “Do you know when you’ll be able to come”?
“Eric talked to the sheriff last night but we won’t be there until tomorrow night”.
“We’ll try to stay out of trouble until you are here”.
“Be sure that you do”, he laughs.
“I have to go I need to get ready to go”, I tell him.
“Alright I’ll call later to ensure that everything is going well”.
“I’ll talk to you later then”, I say before hanging up the phone.
I look over at Sookie who pulled on a white cami with a white lace shirt covering it along with a jean skirt. I pull out a dark red tank top along with some dark jeans and my heels. When I’m dressed I decide to leave my hair down and apply my eyeliner and mascara harsher than I normally would. I grab the leather jacket out of my suitcase before we go out to see Alcide waiting.
He looks Sookie over and shakes his head before looking at me, “You’re gonna fit in well there”, he tells me. “You however are going to stick out like a sore thumb”, he says to Sookie.
She looks down at herself, “I look nice”.
I rolled my eyes and then we were heading out the door and heading to the bar. There’s not really a line but there are some guys standing around outside and it’s out of the way of the busy part of town. We go inside.
“It don’t look like much but Lou Pine’s is the oldest werewolf bar in Mississippi”, Alcide tells us.
“Alcide, it’s nice to see a face from the old pack”, a man on a stool by the door says.
“Yeah, I figured the new wolves were drinking enough for all of us”, Alcide replies.
“Who are the civilians”, he asks looking at me and Sookie.
“They’re cool. They’re friends”.
Sookie looks around the bar, “Am I not dressed properly”?
“You look like dinner”, he says and I can’t stop the small laugh that comes out. “You on the other hand look a little young to be here even if you do fit in more”, he tells me.
“I’ll keep an eye on both of them Hollis”, Alcide replies and we move into the bar. “We’re gonna have to split off. If they see you with me they aren’t gonna talk. I think you should stay with me though”, he tells me and I roll my eyes.
“Where are you gonna be”, Sookie asks.
“With my guys”, he says glancing to the end of the bar, “but I’ll be watching you. Make it quick for your own sake”.
Sookie moves further into the room while Alcide and I go to the bar. He gets a beer and some water before two guys come over to us.
“Where you been Alcide”, one asks. He’s older than Alcide and starting to go grey around the edges of his dark hair.
“Around just haven’t had much time to come by and visit”, he replies.
“It hasn’t been the same round here lately”, the second guy says. He looked to be much younger than Alcide. He wasn’t much shorter than Alcide and he had brown hair and eyes. I could see a tattoo sticking out on his arm from under the sleeve of his t-shirt.
“I’ve heard a bit about it”, Alcide comments his eyes shifting to check on Sookie.
“So, who is this”, the older man asks finally noticing me.
“Jasmine this is Gary”, he motions to the older one then the younger, “and Alex”.
“What brings a cute little thing like yourself to a bar like this”, Alex asks moving closer to me.
Thankfully a scream came from a room off to the side and everyone turned.
Alcide handed me the keys to the car, “Go out to the car we’ll be there in a minute”. He looks at Gary, “Make sure she’s left alone for me”.
Gary nods and Alcide rushes away. I move quickly to the door with Gary close behind me. Everyone’s attention was on the commotion in the back room so we make it out without a problem. I get in the back seat and lean over the front seat putting the key in the ignition and starting the car.
A few minutes later Alcide and Sookie are in the car and we’re pulling out of the parking lot. It’s quiet all the way back to the apartment. When we get in Alcide pours himself a drink and Sookie gets him to sit so she can look at his back where he was bleeding. I just stand against the wall.
“That man helped take Bill and they were feeding from him before he got loose”, she tells us.
“That goes against everything we stand for”, Alcide says. “Is the rest of the pack into that shit”?
“The ones who took Bill at least”, Sookie says.
“Like I need more reasons to hate them”.
Sookie presses a cotton ball with peroxide on it to the cut on his back, “Sorry”, she says when he complains. “Is Debbie your ex-girlfriend”?
“My fiancé. She moved out a month ago”, he tells us.
“A month and you still haven’t gotten new furniture”?
“I don’t have time for it”, he says.
“You ever hear from her”?
“My sister Janice does. She runs a beauty parlor. Debbie still goes in to get her hair done up”.
Sookie presses a bandage to the cut and they turn to look at each other, “I’m almost done”, she says. They keep looking at each other and I realize what that look is. I open my mouth to say something but Sookie’s phone rings.
I move over to Alcide while she moves to answer it, “I’m not sure that’s a good idea”, I tell him.
“What”?
I shake my head, “Just because I’m younger doesn’t mean I don’t know that look between you two”.
“Bill”, I hear Sookie ask so I start paying attention wishing I could hear the other end of the conversation. “Are you hurt I know the werewolves have you? Shut the fuck up”, I know whatever he said wasn’t good if she cussed so I move over by her, “The last time I saw you you asked me to marry you. You have to say that someone’s listening”, I glance at Alcide. “Bill.” I watch as tears start to fill her eyes, “That’s not true. I don’t believe you.” She hangs up the phone and I immediately hug her as she starts crying. We move over to sit on the bed and she tells us what he said. “What does he mean he doesn’t want to be found”?
Alcide answers, “Well, I’m pretty sure it means he doesn’t want to see you anymore”. I have a slight urge to hit the werewolf as he moves into the other room.
“That isn’t what he said”, Sookie says.
“Well, what do you think he said”, Alcide asks from the other room.
“I don’t know what he said. I just know that isn’t the man I love”.
He comes back in with some tissues and hands them to Sookie as he answers, “Well, maybe the man you love never existed except in your head”.
“Really, we’re supposed to be making her feel better”, I say to him.
“All I know is that no matter how well you think you know somebody they can still turn around and kick you right in the nutsack”, he says.
“Just because of your issues with your ex does not mean everyone is like that. As far as I can tell Bill has done nothing but try to keep her safe since they got together. I’m pretty sure he’s probably still doing that”, I sigh. “I’m also pretty sure he’s with the vampire king of Mississippi and apparently Lorena is there as well. If the king knew what you could do Sookie don’t doubt for a second that he would find a way to get you”.
“Why didn’t you tell me you knew where he was”, she asked looking upset with me.
“That vampire in the vision is Russell Edgington and he’s the king. Those werewolves work for him so I’m assuming here that they took Bill on his orders”, I tell her.
“That would have been nice to know before going to that bar tonight”, Alcide says.
“I said I’m assuming. We can’t just go attacking a vampire king without knowing for sure. Especially one who has werewolves on V to call as he wants”, I say.
He just shakes his head, “I’m gonna give you two some privacy”, and leaves the room.
Once he leaves we get changed and climb into bed. I turn to Sookie, “Are you okay”?
“Yeah, I just want to get Bill back”, she says.
“Hopefully it won’t be too long. Eric and Godric should be here tomorrow night. Crap”, I say reaching over to grab my phone that I had put on silent while we were out. I find multiple missed calls and texts mostly from Godric and some from Eric and even one from Pam threatening me if I don’t call.
I quickly dial his number and barely one ring goes through when he answers, “Where have you been? I’ve been waiting for hours to hear from you. Do you have any idea how worried I was when you didn’t answer my calls? I knew you going into that werewolf bar was a bad idea. Did you get out before they turned”?
“I’m fine there was just some drama at the bar and then Bill called Sookie”, I tell him. “There were no turning wolves tonight or anything”, Sookie looks at me questioningly so I put the phone on speaker.
“What the hell happened then that you didn’t call? I was just about ready to go there early and that could have caused more problems”.
“I’m sorry, there was just so much going on I forgot”.
He sighs into the phone, “Tell me what happened”.
Sookie and I both fill Godric in on what happened answering any questions he has as well as Eric who had probably been listening the whole time.
“There’s an engagement party tomorrow night for Alcide’s ex at the bar and more of the wolves will be there so we’ll probably try getting in so I can see if anyone knows for sure if Bill is with the king”, Sookie says.
“That’s probably when the vision is then”, I say out loud. Both vampires growl on the other end, “You should be in town at least you could be outside the bar in case we need you”.
“I still don’t like it”, Godric replies.
I roll my eyes, “It’ll be fine don’t worry so much”, I tell him.
“I will not stop worrying until you are back by my side”.
I smile, “Have you eaten”? He doesn’t stay anything, “Eric make sure he eats please”.
“I do remember him feeding from you just this morning”, he says and I just know he’s smirking as I blush. Sookie just looks confused and then laughs and I know she read my mind.
“It wasn’t much”, I reply and Eric laughs.
“I’ll get him to eat something”, he tells me.
I look at the time to see it’s going on three, “We really should get some sleep”, I tell them.
“I can’t wait to see you tomorrow”, Godric says.
“Me either”, I reply.
“Goodnight little one”.
“Goodnight Godric”, I say and hang up the phone.
Sookie’s still smiling at me, “You let Godric drink from you”, she teases.
“I didn’t ask him to it just kind of happened when we were”, I blush cutting myself off.
She laughs, “I understand Bill does it as well”, and then she looked sad.
“Everything will work out alright”, I tell her.
“Did you see it”, she asks.
I look away, “Well no but we need to think positive”.
She nods and settles down to sleep. I lay awake for a while longer hoping I’m right.
