Brighter Now

Chapter 9

Adira ran into Sookie Stackhouse after coming out of her favorite bookstore. Sookie was wearing a light colored dress with flowers and a blue jeans jacket. She was also wearing some kind of boots and a necklace that Adira really liked. It was simple but nice.

Adira bought all the books from Kanin Chronicles series. It was a spin off book series from one of Adira's favorite book series, Trylle. She really loved Wendy and Loki's story and hoped Kanin Chronicles to be a little like Trylle or even have some Wendy and Loki scenes.

"Hi," Sookie said with that creepy smile of hers.

"Hey?" Adira asked, unsurely as she tried to walk away from her. Adira was wearing a light colored t-shirt, black jeans and a casual jacket. She didn't want to bring a big bag with her so she just had a small shoulder bag in her other shoulder and her books on other hand.

"Adira," Sookie cried and Adira turned to look at the other blonde girl.

"I know you hate me for what I did but can we talk? I really need someone to talk to."

"Fine, and just so you know I don't hate you," Adira told her.

That's how they ended up in Adira's house to talk about things. They were sitting in her kitchen and looking at each other silently as Sookie drank coffee and Adira drank vanilla cappuccino. Sookie had to make her coffee herself because even though Adira had things to make coffee, she didn't know how.

She never had a reason to learn since she hated coffee. She had tried liking it many times over the years but her coffee always ended up being more sugar than coffee. She didn't ever need to make Sierra coffee because she only liked tea. She even let her sisters make their own coffee when they visited her house. They always suspected that she would poison them with her coffee making talents anyway.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Adira asked Sookie. She and awkward silences weren't friends.

"Sorry. This is just all new to me, you know?" Sookie asked, taking a sip from her coffee.

"What is?" Adira asked confused at what the telepath was talking about.

"Talking to someone about dating vampires. I never had that but now you're dating Godric."

"I thought you broke up with Bill?" Adira asked, confused.

"I did but remember when I told you that Eric kissed me?" Sookie asked her.

"Yes. I do remember that," Adira admitted, "What does that have to do with anyth- Ah. You mean Eric. You're dating Eric now."

"Yeah but it's not like it was with Bill. Eric might seem like a hard ass but inside all that he's sweet to me. How is it going with Godric?" Sookie asked, changing the subject.

"Honestly, Sookie, I'm not like you. We're not friends. I might have forgiven you but my privacy is none of your business," Adira said angrily as she stood up.

"What do you mean?" Sookie wondered aloud and angry at Adira.

"I remember when you slept with Bill the first time and told everyone at Merlotte's about it and honestly that wasn't smart of you, Sookie," Adira said as she walked to the living room.

"Well I'm sorry that I had sex first time in my life and wanted to tell my friends how wonderful it was," Sookie said, sarcastically.

"I know, Sookie, but you knew the murderer was out there," Adira said, sitting down on a couch.

"I take it you and Godric haven't...?" Sookie asked, sitting down next to her.

"No," Adira finally admitted, "And you and Eric?"

"Yesterday," Sookie told her, looking down to her cup.

"What happened?"

"He came to my house last night talking about something like 'You're in danger, Sookie, so it's better if we didn't see each other in awhile'. I don't know what really happened. I kissed him, we had sex and- I'm just scared."

"Why are you scared?"

"Because...Because maybe he just doesn't want to be with me. What bullshit reason is that I'm in danger? Eric Northman wouldn't just suddenly give up just because I'm in danger. Maybe now that he got what he wanted he would stop caring about me," Sookie told Adira.

"I don't think so, Sookie. I think he's scared like Godric was last night about me. Godric is twice Eric's age and he was really scared for me," Adira admitted and after that she regretted it. She didn't think she should've said that. She knew that Sookie wasn't a thread to Godric but person couldn't be too careful about a guy- no, a vampire they loved.

"What was he scared of?"

"I think you should ask Eric," Adira told the blond sitting next to her.

"Did I tell you that I'm glad you got rid of Bill?" Adira asked, smiling.

"You were? I thought you liked him," Sookie said, confused.

"That was before I knew what a jackass he was," Adira informed her and had a thought that maybe she could become friends with Sookie. She brought her and Godric together, after all.

"What was the sex like?" Adira teased.

"Amazing," Sookie blushed, "I think I'm falling in love with him. Do you love Godric?"

"Yes and he admitted last night that he loves me too," Adira smiled with a stupidly huge smile.

"Then why haven't you had sex with him?" Yeah why hadn't she? What was stopping her?

Another chapter. Do you guys love me or what? :D

Thoughts about this chapter? I wanted to tell you guys a little what's going on between Eric and Sookie. Eric and Godric were really scared for their loved ones. Eric even tried leaving Sookie but that back fired lol.
