Tessa P.O.V
I slept peacefully with Eric near me. It was terrifying how close the killer got to us. Sam stayed overnight for our comfort. Sook woke up early to make breakfast for Sam. I knew that it bothered her that Bill didn't come. I trusted that Eric told me the truth & was holding back to keep me safe.
I came down a little later at the same time as Sam. I took my time getting ready so he could calm Sook. I could hear their entire conversation & laughed when Sam bossed her around. As I came down, Sam & Sook were sharing a plate.
"So, pie for breakfast?" I joked as I grabbed my plate
"How did you know?" Sam asked
"Vampire remember. I can hear pretty well." I joked, "Who's driving?"
"I'll do it since I know the way." Sam offered as I finished up
"Thanks. Who's car?" I asked
"Mine, its a long drive so we'll need the room." Sam replied, "I just need to freshen up."
I finished my breakfast just in time. Sook & I ran upstairs to freshen up. It was a hot day so we put on light clothes. I put on a tank top & some capris while Sook had a spaghetti strap shirt & shorts. We all piled into Sam's blue 4x4 with Sam & Sook up front. Sam played the radio to help pass the time as we drove.
"Hey Tes, what should I call you now?" Sam asked over the radio
"Whatever is comfortable for you. Tes, Maria, I don't care." I replied
"I think I'll try Maria, considering that's the truth. It just seems weird to use your alias." Sam said
"Ok. I'm sorry for holding the truth back for so long." I apologised
"It's fine. I did the same thing so we're even. Why hide now that vampires came out?" Sam inquired
"haha, true. I'm not afraid of humans. It's just that I have a few enemies over the years." I quickly explained as painful memories surfaced
"I understand. I hope they never find you." Sam wished me
"Thanks. Me too." I replied before pulling out my phone
Doing some investigating with Sookie & our boss. Be home late.
After sending the text, I felt safer since Eric knew what I was up to. With Sam around, I didn't feel that it was necessary to say where. Only if we were alone did I tell our location. It was still bright out so he'd be asleep for a long time. By then, who knows where we'd be.
The pie house looked nice when we pulled up. Sam followed us in where we met a daft waitress. She was pretty much Sook's dumb routine just genuine. She didn't know Cindy so reverted to rattling off their best pies. It seemed like we weren't getting much help until a black guy at the counter intervened.
"They'll have the peanut butter pie, granny's apple pie & the spunky hollow honey pineapple pie. Please Harley." the guy ordered which sent Harley away
"We will?" Sam asked
"You won't get nothing from her. She only been here 2 weeks. Comes from 3 generations of dumb as rocks. Hell, they named her after a motorcycle." he amusingly informed us
"That's very interesting, but..." I irritatedly replied
"If you wanna know anything about Cindy Marshall, I'll talk to you. And I'll eat that pie too. Buster Boisseau." He offered as we joined him
"Sookie & Tessa Stackhouse, Sam Merlotte." Sook introduced us
"Yeah. Can you tell us..." Sam began before getting interrupted
