You Found Me

Chapter 7

"Miss Lyssa, it's time to wake up," Recognizing Sophie's faint Russian accent, I groaned pressing my face deeper into the pillow. Not wanting to leave the cocoon of warmness she informed me that it was my first night at Fangtasia and if I didn't get up now I wouldn't have time to get ready.

"You give me no choice," She muttered.

The cold air hit me and I sat up looking at her with a glare making her laugh.

"My bulldog looks more vicious than you any day. Now, Mr. Northman told me that they are leaving around six o' clock and expect you to be ready," She continued looking through my closet pulling out a pulling sweater and black skirt.

"I can dress myself you know?" I addressed, but that didn't stop her from throwing in a pair of black flats with the outfit.

"You can give me sass to, can't you? Now, hurry and get in the shower. Best wishes for your first day." Sophie shoved the clothes into my arms pushing me towards the bathroom hastily.

Taking my time getting ready, I enjoyed the quiet time immensely. Grazing on strawberries, I wandered back to the library to continue reading my book. Soon enough, I sensed another presence. Jumping at Godric's close proximity, I swore, nearly dropping my book.

"Good evening, Lyssa," He beamed joyfully.

"You now that there is this thing called walking right?"

"Sadly, that only would delay from me seeing you faster."

My cheeks reddened, I looked down like the blushing virgin I was.

"We should probably go. I don't want to be late for my first day."

Eric and Pam continued talking quietly, walking towards the garage. Godric sat in the back with me. My stomach twisted in knots, nervousness setting in. What if I made a fool of myself? Godric drew patterns on my hand leaving a cool tingling sensation relaxing me immensely. His eyes soft and warm looking at me, I tensed, heart fluttering from his attention. Blue eyes flickered to me in the mirror, Eric gave me a warning look of 'really'. I looked away from him back to Godric.

Arriving at the club, Pam and Godric were getting ready to open things up while Eric showed me where I was going to be working. A large spacious room with at least a dozen filing cabinets. Issuing me a work computer that contained all the software and documents he had on his, he told me that my first task was converting everything into an online system. Secondly, he directed me towards a different computer application.

"At the end or beginning of the night, three times a week, we have to interview a vampire from the area getting this information that our Queen is asking for. One of us will be you during the process. She had this set up with all the questions already installed. All the vampires in my area know of this and I have sent out times and dates for them to come in with the first interview tomorrow," Eric explained looming over my shoulder as I looked over the questions.

I nodded okay, getting to work.

Eventually, Godric wandered in watching me work. Close to twelve, I took a break to get a bite to eat a few blocks over with Godric. Walking through the back door, I settled back into the sea of files while Godric went to seek out Eric. I could hear voices in the other room, my ears perking hearing Sookie's.

I opened the door, not bothering to knock, seeing a Sookie with baggy red eyes and disheveled hair. Eric leaned back in his chair with Godric pacing around. I sat down beside Sookie taking her in my arms.

"What are you doing here?" I asked in a soft voice stroking her hair.

"Someone took Bill, I think Lorena had something to do it. I was just asking if Eric knew where he was," She explained.
