True Blood

It Hurts Me Too

As the gun goes off I watch in slow motion as Eric jumps in front of the bullet 

He knows, he knows 

"Eric!" I scream as he falls to the ground but suddenly the werewolf morphs into a human. A disgusting looking man his eyes were bloodshot and saliva dripped from him lips as he looked down at Erics body. 

"Holy shit. V." It cries before running up to Eric but Eric managed to jump up and I watch as he grabs the werewolfs neck 

"Stay back, Megs, Don't shoot him. He knows." Eric cries and I look over at him raising my eyebrow 

"He knows what?" I spit in confusion

"Who do you work for? Who sent you?" Eric growls and I watch as he squeezes the mans neck tighter. The mans eyes seemed to almost pop out of his head and it took all my willpower not to turn away and vomit. 

"l can't-- I can't talk." The man cries and Eric sighs rolling his eyes before he loosens his hand on the mans neck just enough for the wolf to breathe but suddenly the wolf wriggles out of Erics grasp and I scream in horror as the wolf begins sucking Erics blood. Erci hisses but managed to throw the wolf off of him and the man goes running. I quickly shoot watching the bullet land in the mans leg. 

"For the last time: Who is your master?" Eric says rushing up and grabbing him by the neck again 

 Jackson. Jackson. Jackson 

"If l tell you, l'm as dead as you are. You might as well kill me now." the man cries and I gasp as I watch Eric smirk 

"As you wish." he says before ripping out his throat and then sighing turning to me 

"Oh. I got your rug all wet. Heh." he says with a smirk and I sigh before dropping my ass back down on the couch. But it's not long before Erics dragging me outside in the cold to dispose the body 

"Fresh graves are ideal for disposing of an unwanted body.
The ground's already disturbed, so no one would think to dig again." he states as he shovels the ground 

"So much for keeping him alive so we could question him. But then you saw his brand." I sigh 

"Brings back many memories." he says stopping the digging to turn to me 

"If you'd given me a chance to listen to his thoughts--" I start but he sighs 

"You have no concept of how dangerous werewolves are.
They're virtually silent. They have no fear of death. And when they've had a bite of our blood, their strength can be a challenge.
Even for me. Like l said..." he says getting back to digging and I sigh cutting him off 

"...thanks for saving my life. How's your bullet wound?" I ask looking down at his chest and this time he shoves the shovel down 

"Well, it would have healed a lot faster if you had--" he says smirking while he walks up to me 

"I will never fall for that again." I hiss and he chuckles slightly before moving pass me 

"Maybe the next time you shoot me.  I'll walk you back." he sighs and we start walking towards home 

"Do you know anyone named Jackson? It's the only thing I could make out. Maybe that's the person he's working for." I state and Eric chuckles 

"Jackson is where he lives. He had a Mississippi accent. Can't you people tell the difference?" he says smirking 

 "Oh, my God, he's from Jackson? Do you think that's where Bill is? Eric, we have to go, like, yesterday." I say but he looks unenthused 

"I can't. Not yet. The problems of the world consist of more than finding your missing boyfriend. You shouldn't go by yourself, either. These werewolves are looking for you. You're no good to Bill or to me if you're dead." he says as we reach my porch and he stands still as I walk a little higher up the stairs so I'm face to face with him
