To Truly Be Me (Trueblood Fanfic)

Chapter Two...

This chapter was also edited by me through Grammarly. Enjoy the chapter and as always let me know what you think :P

Scarlett's POV:

My hand automatically flew to my neck as I dropped the note and ran to my bathroom to check the mirror. There was a cluster of small hickeys on my neck the formed an E and an N. I screamed in anger, Eric Northman does not own me, and he never will. After choosing my work outfit- a low cut black top and black high wasted short shorts with my dark blue combat boots- and then putting it on, I spent about an hour trying to cover up the hickeys and failed I put a thin line choker on which covered some of it but you could still see most of the formulation of the letters. Next, I put on the necklace that Sookie got me and another that Bill got my last year it was similar to the one that Sookie and Jason got me but with an Emerald instead of a Safire.

Yes, I have a job, but I don't get paid for it I just do the job so I earn most of the money that Bill gives me every month, it's almost six times what I would earn working for Eric but it fills all the empty time I have, better than doing nothing, or worse; helping Bill with politics.

I used my speed to get down stairs and was tackled as I got to the bottom, thank god I'm not human because that would have broken a rib and an arm

"You're not allowed you use your speed in the house unless we are under attack" it was Frank - one of my father's human guards. The head guard to be exact, we're great friends now but it wasn't always like this. When I first moved here I hated all of Bill's rules and regulations and honestly I thought I hated Frank but after he saved me a few dozen times, from both, wanna-be and professional vampire hunters, I learned to love him.
"1- Ow and what the hell, 2- you didn't tackle Eric this before when he left!" I said as Frank helped me up I passed his gun back to him reluctantly, it and slid from the holster as he took me down. And he laughed.
"Yeah but he's Eric and he was naked and I'm actually threatened by him" I scoffed in disbelief
"I'm literally double his age as of last night" He laughed as we walked over to the front door and he opened it and stepped out. I stepped out behind him and paused as I straightened out my clothes as best I could
"so you off to work then?" He said whilst glancing around the front of the grounds, well; all of it that was visible from the porch.
"yeah, Eric put me on tonight, which I'm guessing means that I'm off tomorrow"
"I don't know why you bother working for that ass, you have money and power, what's the point?" He said looking at me confused and curious

"Let me guess, if you'd lived as long as I have you would be chilling out, not bothering with anything really?" He nodded
"Well I can tell you, actually having lived as long as I have that, 2000 years is a lot of time to be doing nothing, so I welcome any chance to occupy my time" He still had a question on his mind I could tell by his facing expression
"then why not work at Sam's place? Why Eric's place?" There it is
"Because some humans around here don't seem to be too keen to be served by a vampire as old as me... because I may, or may not have killed some of their ancestors. Anyway, what's got you all nosey in my business?" He shrugged and then replied
"I welcome a chance to occupy my time" I laughed at his words then wandered down the porch steps with him, he went one way – to sweep the perimeter and I was headed more towards Shreveport to Eric's place.

"See you around Frankie," I said as I took off running towards Shreveport not waiting to hear his reply as a flew through the wind. At my top speed, I reached Shreveport in 30 minutes. As I arrived I discovered it was empty aside from Ginger, one of the other bar maids. It was my turn to open up she had just finished cleaning from last night, Eric had come to my party; I don't really care what Pam was doing but I'm assuming she wasn't here last night, that much was clear by the state of this place.
