The Lost Halfling

The Lost Halfling Returns

When my sight returns I find myself in front of a big bustling home.  It was filled with people.  A cop car pulls up at the same time a handsome blonde man comes slamming out of the home.  I feel the pull of family.  I knew he must be my brother Jason.

"Jason?  Brother is that you?" I asked.

"I don't know who the fuck you are but you better get out of my way." Jason said as he stalked towards me.  

I quickly side stepped feeling confused as to what I've returned to.  

"Jason Stackhouse we need to talk." The police officer said.

"No we sure as shit don't.  Leave me alone Andy." Jason said as he continued to what I can only assume is his truck.

"That's Detective Bellefleur to you.  Stop Stackhouse." The man now identified as Andy said as he reached Jason.

I watched my brother slam his hand into Andy throwing him across the yard into his vehicle.  I watched wide eyed as Jason got into his vehicle and sped off kicking dirt up as he did so.  I rushed over to Andy and helped him up as others came outside.  I felt the familial tug again and knew the pretty blonde was my sister Sookie.

"Who are you?" Andy asked suspiciously.

"I'm Magnolia Stackhouse."  I said as I tore the band aide off.

"Shut the front door." Sookie said in shock.

"She's dead." Andy said angrily.

"Did you find a body?  I'd bet you didn't because I'm her.  You can run a DNA test with my sister if you'd like.  What do I need to do to have myself be alive again?  I don't know how to word that properly, I'm sorry." I said.

Andy glared at the young woman not wanting to admit she did look like Michelle.  Her pretty caramel brown curls and green eyes dancing with mischief.  Suddenly she was enveloped in a tight hug.

"I sense it.  She's my sister.  I just know she is." Sookie said as she continued hugging her baby sister.

I breathed in comfort as I hugged my sister back.

"Shit.  I have too much on my plate.  Sookie bring her to the station and I'll have Doc meet us there." Andy said as he walked away bitching about everything going on.

"Tara can you-" Sookie started.

"Bitch you don't even has to continue.  I'll get rid of all the busybodies.  You take care of family, go." A beautiful man said.

"Thank you Lafayette." Sookie said gratefully.

I wanted to smack her for saying those words but it's not her fault she doesn't know.  Sookie directed me to her car and we left for the station.

"Sookie you must never say thank you again.  It means more than you know." I said.

"What?  But that's our manners.  How come I can't hear you?  You're too warm to be a vampire plus it's still daytime." Sookie said.

"You can have manners and express that you're feeling grateful in another way that doesn't leave you indebted to someone.  I know how to block you is why you can't hear me.  Vampires are out of the coffin now?" I asked curiously that she knew about them.

"Yes!  Where have you been?" Sookie asked.

"Not here." I said quietly.

"Grace.  That's what I called you when we were little.  That's your middle name.  Grace today was Gran's wake.  Her funeral is tomorrow.  We siblings are all that's left of our family.  I'm sorry." Sookie said.
