Spilt Blood : Eric Northman x OC

1

As I drove further into Bon Temps, my heart begins racing with excitement. I hadn't seen anyone in a few years and I thought I would pay a visit to my old friends, whom I pretty much thought of as family.

Rae Finley, is an Australian, and she is twenty-five years old. She is a little on the taller side, has pale skin and dark brown hair that went just about to the middle of her back, she also has hazel eyes. When Rae was a child her parents had passed in a car accident, which left Rae all on her own. Due to this happening, Rae was sent to be raised by her aunt who happened to live in Bon Temps, Louisiana. She quickly became friends with sookie because according to everyone else, she was also considered a 'freak'.

When she finished school, she decided to go back to Australia in pursuit of a few of her dream studies, after the five long years it took her to complete her course, she is now on her way back to see everyone and also find a place to settle down for now.

My car drove up into the parking lot of Merlotte's, and I excitedly hopped out of the vehicle. I made my way up to the entrance and opened up the door to walk in.

The place looks just as I remembered, it's almost as if I never left in the first place. When I walked in, it felt as if all eyes were on me, for the most part that was the truth. A few people were wondering who I was and others seemed to be making quick judgement on me based off of my tattoos that complimented my skin.

I just chose to ignore their small minded thoughts and walked up to the bar. Straight away I spotted Sam.

"Rae?! When did you get here?" There was a look of suprise on his face.

"I only got here early this morning, it's good to be back, I really missed this place", I explained.

Upon saying that, the phone was then passed back to sam and I turned my head to look where it came from, it was then that I spotted my best friend. I quickly stood up out of my seat and rushed to give Sookie a hug, the blonde seemed surprised until she quickly realised who was squeezing her half to death.

"Rae! Oh my gosh, you're back!" After returning the hug she pulled back and got a good look at her friend that she hadn't seen in such a long time.

"How long are you back for?" She asked.

"Well I'm hoping to stay for a little while, the thing is, I'm not entirely sure where I should stay", a small smirk crept onto my face as I continued.

"I was kind of wondering if there was a blonde person that also happens to be an old friend of mine that would let me stay with them for a while, do you know where I could find someone that fits that description?"

"Of course you can stay for a while, Gran will be so happy to see you again" she said, still laughing a little from what I previously said.

Before we could talk much more, another girl wearing the waitress uniform walked up to sookie.

"Mack and Denise Rattray are just about to sit down in your section", this caused sookie to turn around and look at the people she had just been told about.
Just by looking at them, they didnt seem to special, in fact they just looked as though they caused a lot of trouble. Sookie then turned back around to face the bar.

"Don't let them get to you, chere. They're not worth it" Sam said.

I watched as Sookie picked up her notepad and pen and walk towards the table. Not long after she started heading back to give the order to the kitchen. It was then that I got a glass of water and just sat at the bar. I glanced over towards where Sookie was at the kitchen and I happened to see her and the other two waitresses having what seemed like a funny conversation with the person in the kitchen. It caused me to chuckle just catching the end of that exchange.
