When Sam had informed her that Jessica was changed young Sookie hadn't prepared herself for the fact the newly turned vampire was barely eighteen, if that. The youthfulness in the girl made her heart ache, the fact it was clear the turning had to have been under special circumstances due to her being under the stated limit for the turning of a human, didn't make the situation any better.

Who could possibly want to be a vampire that young?

There could have been many reasons as to why Jessica was no longer human, none of which seemed positive as they ran through Sookies head. It wouldn't have been for the reason of power, not when it was clear just looking at the girl she didn't have a tactical bone in her body. It had always surprised her how well she could read vampires, only Bill being the exception to that rule.

Then again, thinking back it wasn't as if she had felt completely comfortable around the civil war vampire. Gran had approved, it had been one of the sole reasons she had allowed him to try and court her.

But Jessica...Jessica being turned for the purpose of violence just didn't seem right, not when there were a lot more humans out there who would be capable of more than a teenager who looked completely out of her element.

She wasn't rude enough to ask.

It wasn't until a slight nagging at the back of her memory had her already planning to ask Eric about her that Sookie found her curiosity pushed momentarily to the back of her mind. As Sheriff he had to know each and every vampire in his area, Jessica would be no exception.

It did have her hoping that Jessica was turned by a kind vampire, one who had taught her or hopefully was still teaching her the ways of her new life. Anything less just didn't seem acceptable.

"Jessica?"

Walking over towards the red-headed teen she frowned when she caught sight of the girls' uncomfortable expression. It was still quiet, only a few customers scattered around the place, all of which were in Arlene's section and the majority of them her previous bed mates.

Sookie certainly did not want to know if they were back for more or not.

"Uh..." Snapping her head around Jessica looked relieved to see her, eyes widening briefly before a small smile curled at the corner of her dark lips. "Sookie, right?"

Nodding. "Hi! Yeah, did Sam tell you that I would be showing you the ropes today?" she asked as she made her way into his office to drop off her things. She saw Jessica nod as she followed her into the small room, her own uniform ironed neatly and washed clean. "Cool, you want an apron?" Sookie held up the light fabric.

Looking around her briefly, Jessica grabbed it with a shy smile before tying it around her waist. She was pretty, probably another one of the reasons why Sam had hired her. "You're the first person here other than Sam who's spoken to me," she mumbled after a few minutes.

Sookie frowned. She really did wish she could be surprised by that.

"Ignore them," she smiled reassuringly. "Tara and Arlene are hypocrites, Sam's just a little skittish and unfortunately being a waitress means dealing with rude and unfriendly people."

Jessica pouted.

"Just..." Sookie started, "just don't go out with strange people who approach you ok? We've had some past issues with drainers and I'd hate for you or any vampire to get hurt." Just the thought of grown men and women going after such a young girl, vampire or not, was extremely unsettling.

The fear which showed immediately on Jessica's face told Sookie all she needed to know about how long she had been a vampire for. If she had been even a few years old she would have been able to mask her emotions better, but the fact what she was feeling wasn't attempted to be disguised in the slightest told her that it was unlikely she was even more than a year old.
