Escape from Dragon House

Sookie, Bella and Bill are on their way to fangtasia.

"Penny for your thoughts." Sookie said as Bella sat in the backseat.

"I thought you liked not knowing my thoughts." Bill said to her.

"Most of the time I do."

"You won't care for it."

"That doesn't mean I don't wanna know."

"You look like vampire bait." Bella couldn't help herself as she started laughing.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sookie said looking between the both of them. "What about Bella?"

"I promised your grandmother no harm would come to you at Fangtasia tonight. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to keep that promise with you dressed like this."

"You're wearing a white dress and look like a good girl Sook. I'm in a black one and black combat boots." Bella said still kind of laughing.

"So are you saying you think I look nice?" Sookie asked Bill.

"Doesn't matter what I think. This isn't a date, remember?" Bill smirked and Bella gagged a bit.

"Nope! None of that." They both laughed and soon enough we were there."

"Bill. Haven't seen you in a while." Pam said we came inside.

"I'm mainstreamin'." He told her.

"Good for you. I see Bella came back after all. Who's the doll?"

"Pam, this is Sookie, Bella's older sister. Sookie, this is Pam."

"Pleased to meet you." Sookie smiled at her and put her hand out to Pam. Pam ignored it and asked her ID.

"Oh. Sure. How funny. Who'd have thought? Getting' carded at a vampire bar."

"I can no longer tell human ages. We must be careful we serve no minors... in any capacity. Twenty-five, huh? How sweet it is." She gave it back and we continued inside.

"This feels a little bit like what a vampire bar would look like if it were a... a ride at Disney World." Sookie said causing me to laugh a bit.

"Well, don't get too comfortable. It tends to get more authentic as the night wears on." We walked towards the bar. "Can I get you ladies somethin' to drink?"

"Uh, please." Sookie said while I nodded my head.

"How's it goin', Bill?" The bartender from the other night asked as we walked up.

"Very well." Bill said.

"I'll say it is. This your meal for tonight?"

"This is my friend Sookie and her sister Evie. Sookie, Longshadow."

"Nice to meet you." Sookie says trying to be friendly again, but he just stares at her. "I'll have a gin and tonic, please."

"Water." I said and looked away from the vampire I didn't trust.

"And I'll have a bottle of O Negative. Longshadow, Sookie here would like to know if she could ask you a few questions. Would this be acceptable?"

"I just have a couple of pictures I'd love you to take a look at." She said as she showed him pictures of the two girls. "You recognize either of these women?"

"Yeah, I seen 'em both here before." He said as he grabbed them.

"Great, thank you. And do you also happen to remember who they hung around with?"

"That's something we don't notice here. You won't either."

"Okay, then. Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time."

"This one. She wanted to die." He said pointing at one of the pictures.

"How do you know?"

"Everyone who comes here does, in their own way. That's who we are, Death."

He gave Sookie back the pictures and then gave us our drinks. We found a small table and sat down. I noticed Eric back on his throne as usual and, again, felt the familiar safe feeling. I noticed a man walking up to Eric.

"How's your drink?" Bill asked Sookie.

"A gin and tonic's pretty much a gin and tonic no matter where you drink it."

"I know exactly what you mean."

"Who's that?" Sookie asked looking at Eric.

"Oh, you noticed him, did you?"

"No, it's not like that. I just-"

"Everyone does. That's Eric. He's the oldest thing in this bar."

I focused on Eric and watched as the man put his hand on Eric's knee, only to be kicked across the bar and lands on the floor. I scoffed to myself.

"Dick." I muttered to myself and took a drink of my water.

"You able to pick up anything?" Bill asked Sookie.

"All anyone's thinkin' about here is sex, sex, sex." She told us and I almost spit out my water.

"Don't need to read minds for that. Lust is practically the only emotion in here." I said.

"Uh, oh." Bill said.

"Don't say "uh-oh." Vampires are not supposed to say "uh-oh."" Sookie said and I laughed again.

"It's Eric. He's scanned you twice. He's goin' to summon us."

"He can do that?"

"Yeah."

I saw Eric motion towards us and Bill took Sookie's hand and we walked up towards Eric, in his throne, and Pam, standing beside him.

"Bill Compton. It has been a while." Eric said. "Miss Stackhouse. Pleasure to see you again."

"Yes, well, I've been-" Bill was cut off.

"Mainstreaming. I heard. I see that is, going well for you." Eric glanced at my sister.

"Yes, of course. Uh, sorry. Eric, this is my friend-"

"Sookie Stackhouse. I assume you are Evangeline's sister?"

"How do you know my name? Or my sister?" Sookie asked.

"I never forget a pretty face. You're in my vault." Pam explained tapping her forehead.

"Great. That's just great." Sookie said to Pam and then looked at Eric. "It's nice to meet you."

"Well, aren't you sweet." Eric said sarcastically.

"Not really." Sookie snapped back. Then Eric and Pam spoke in another language.

"Miss Stackhouse, I understand you've been asking questions about some of my customers." Eric asked.

"Yes, I have."

"If you have anything to ask, you should ask it of me."

"Ok Mr. Northman." I grabbed the pictures from my sister and showed them to him. "Seen these girls here before?" Eric looked at me and I smiled. "I would apricate the truth if you would." He raised his eyebrow before looking at the pictures.

"Hmm." He pointed to the picture of Maudette. "Well, this one offered herself to me. But I found her too pathetic for my attentions. Now, this one, however," He pointed to Dawn's picture. "I have tasted."

"Dammit Dawn." I muttered as I put the picture back in my sister's hand.

"I remember 'em both." Pam told us.

"On account of the vault?" I said to her and Eric glared at me.

"Never had either of them, though. They weren't really my type."

"Well, thank you very much. That is all your time I need to take." Sookie said and went to leave.

"I'm not finished with you yet." Eric smiled at us. "Please. Sit."

Sookie sat down on Eric's right while Bill and I remained standing. I felt like something was coming and didn't want to sit down.

"So, Bill. Are you quite attached to your friends?" Eric asked looking at my sister.

"She is mine." Bill snapped.

"Yes. I am his." Sookie said.

"What a pity. For me." Eric then looked at me. "What about you?"

"I don't belong to anyone thanks." I gave him a sarcastic smile.

"Sit with us. We have catching up to do, you and I Bill. It has been too long."

"Yes." Bill said on the left of Eric and Eric looked at me again.

"I'd rather stand thanks." I looked at Sookie and she was focused somewhere else. "I don't think we should stay here much longer."

"I thought you felt safe around me?" Eric taunted me.

"Believe it or not, it's not you that's giving me chills."

"We have to get out of here." Sookie said to us suddenly.

"Sookie?"

"Eric, the cops are coming. There's gonna be a raid-"

"You're not an undercover cop, are-"

"I'm not, but that man in the hat is."

"Even if you're right, we do nothing illegal here."

"There's a vampire named Taryn in the ladies' room with that man you kicked before. She's feeding on him."

"How do you know this?"

"They're here. Come on guys." I grabbed Sookie's arm when the door suddenly bust open.

"Freeze! Police! Freeze! Don't move!"

"Follow me." Eric said and lead us out the back. Bill grabbed Sookie and I and we sped away from the club.

"I enjoyed meeting you, Miss Stackhouse. You will come again." Eric said before he and Pam left and went back to Bon Temps.
