Awakening

32

A sniffle emitted from Morgan, her knees pulled to her chest with her arms wrapped around them, her head on her knees, her white hair covering her face.

"I killed him, Rae" she said softly

"You don't know that" Raven replied

"I know I did" not moving from her position "Sam knew I was doing it. The way he looked at me. The last thing I want is people being scared of me"

"I'm not scared of you" sitting down on the bed "you are my best friend, practically my sister. I will never be scared of you" placing a hand on her back

Knocking emitted from her bedroom door, Raven getting up from the bed and walking over to it, opening it and seeing Eric standing there.

"I don't think now is a good time" Raven whispered

"It's okay, Rae" Morgan said "let him in, you stay too"

Raven moved to the side, opening the door and letting him inside, Morgan picking up her head from her knees, unwrapping her arms from her legs and wiping her face, getting rid of whatever tears fell, clearing her throat slightly as Eric walked to the bed, sitting down where Raven once was.

"I'm sorry I took your car" Morgan commented

"My car doesn't matter, älskling" Eric assured

". . . I saw it" looking down at her hands "as it was happening. I saw it. Sookie running in the woods, to the cemetery. Rene running after her" a breath emitting from her "I don't know how, but it gave me the meanest fucking migraine. I thought my head was going to explode"

"What did you feel?" Raven asked, sitting on the other side of the bed ". . when it happened?"

"I was pissed" looking at her "you remember when we were in highschool, and that guy said you were the biggest slut?"

"Oh, you were that pissed?" her eyebrows rising

"Times ten" nodding slightly "I was shaking . . But the thing is, he knew I was doing it. He knew it was me. I heard every bone in his body break, the blood. His fucking organs, Rae . . . Oh god, I killed Arlene's fiance" covering her face with her hands, falling back on the bed with a groan "she's gonna fucking hate me!"

"Who cares?" looking at her "she was never really nice to you anyway. Plus, she'll never know"

"But I will" throwing her hands on the bed

"I'm assuming you've never killed someone before" Eric commented

He caught the pillow that was chucked at him, setting it down on the bed and looking at his woman, who looked at him with a small glare, but there was nothing behind it.

"All you did was kill a human that was going to kill the one you grew up with and your shifter friend" he continued "if he didn't die, your friend, best friend, and Sookie would be dead and he would have gotten away with it"

". . He's got a point" Raven said

"I know he's got a point" Morgan grumbled "he's over a thousand years old, he's always got a point"

Raven chuckled lightly, shaking her head at her best friend, Morgan turning on her side with a small sigh,

"I'll call you, okay?" Raven said, grasping Morgan's leg and giving it a small squeeze, then looking at Eric, lowering her voice to a whisper "keep an eye on my mentally unstable best friend"

"I fucking heard that you bitch" Morgan said

"You were meant to" a smirk on her lips

Raven got up from her spot on the bed, walking out of the room, leaving Morgan and Eric alone. Sookie had been downstairs, and Morgan figured that since Eric was there, Bill would arrive shortly, and she knew he wasn't dead, he had just gotten a little crispy because of the sun. She reached out toward Eric, her hand maneuvering under his shirt, feeling his skin, the vampire looking at her with amusement and a raised eyebrow,

"Shut up" she said

"I didn't say anything" a smirk forming on his lips

Eric shrugged off his leather jacket, reaching for the hem of his shirt and removing it, laying down next to his woman and letting her rest her head on his chest, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. He knew there was nothing he could do about her mental state, she had never killed someone before, she had never hurt someone before.

"I'm not upset that I killed him" Morgan confessed "I'm upset because I wanted to do it. I've never had the urge to kill someone, to hurt someone the way I hurt him. I saw him kill his sister. I saw him kill Gran. I saw him hurt Sookie"

"Think of it this way. . ." Eric said "you protected the ones you care about. That all you did"

A small smile formed on her lips, picking her head up from his chest and looking at him for a moment, scooting up and pressing a kiss to his lips. Eric instantly complied, switching their position to where he was on top, Morgan's arms wrapping around his neck, her legs on either sides of his waist. One of his hands maneuvered under her shirt, feeling her soft skin, a small giggle emitting from her, not telling him that she had been a little ticklish on her sides. Her mood always improved when Eric was around, and she don't know why, it wasn't because he kissed her, and it sure as hell wasn't because he fed from her nearly every night. Just by him being there, she felt like she could do anything she wanted. In a way, she could. Eric would buy her anything she wanted, even if she looked at something a little longer than normal, which was how she had gotten some new clothes and shoes.

She would always find something at the foot of her bed, whether it be a small note written in Swedish, or a shopping bag with a blouse, a skirt, a pair of heels, or even a new pair of earrings. He had once said he would provide for her, but she didn't think he meant it.
