The Lost Halfling

Never mistake us for just Glitter

Since that first official date with Eric things have been going well.  I have been getting to know my brother and I'd be lying if I said I didn't favor him to our sister.  It's probably the allure he has but he is just really a sweet guy.  I can't wait for the day he shares that side of himself with a partner rather than just fucking different women every day.  Jason was gone now though.  He said he had to go find himself after losing Amy and losing himself to V.  I understood and knew that  where he went he would find a path for himself.  A path that would heal his hatred of vampires.  

I've also surprisingly become closer to Sam.  He's moving on from Sookie and having himself a fling with Tara.  I don't see the fling going anywhere but it is good to know that he's moving on from my sister.  She will never love him the way he deserves.  I'm also sensing a lot of drama in the atmosphere tied to Sam and tied to Eric.  But not the same drama is affecting both men.  As my intuition was feeling this upcoming drama I felt the tugging on my familial bonds.  I blinked instantly to Sookie who was in the middle of the woods.  I saw a Maenad lunging at my sister and threw it back with my power.  I quickly had roots pull the Maenad back and hold it tight.  Meeting the Maenad let me know that this was Sam's drama.  But I now knew that Sam would be all right but the Maenad would not.

"You're a Maenad.  You're very rare.  Who knew I'd ever meet one and I'd like you to survive but if you stay here you won't.  You will fail at whatever plan you have and you will die.  Please leave." I requested.  

The Maenad tilted it's head as it stared at me and then nodded.  I released the Maenad and it took off.

"As grams would say, oh my stars.  What ARE you?  What are we?" Sookie asked.

"I'm a bartender, and you're a waitress." I deadpanned before breaking into giggles.

I took Sookie's hand before she could say anything else and blinked us back to my apartment.  When we arrived I cast a binding on Sookie so that she wouldn't be able to repeat what I tell her.

"Sookie are great grandmother unknowingly slept with a Faerie.  The Fae can glamour themselves to appear differently so this Fae looked just like our great grandfather.  Our great grandmother gave birth to half fae.  All of her kids were.  The fae visited her more than once to ensure it passed it's gene.  Only Fae genetics don't work like human genetics do.  Our grandfather would be half and our father less and us next to nothing, right?  But it doesn't work like that especially since surprise surprise our mother also has the gene on her side." I paused.

 "Neither of our parents showed Fae abilities.  They were for all intents and purpose human with just a gene to pass on and pass on they did.  You and Jason both got diluted abilities.  You have the ability to read minds and photosynthesis.  That is the white light you shoot out of your hands.  That light will run out though and leave you a regular human if you use it too much.  Jason has the ability to allure which is how he attracts both men and women so easily.  I inherited more than diluted.  I inherited enough to be a halfling.  Half Fae, half human.  Each fae is granted their own power and yours is telepathy.  Mine is knowing things.  Maybe you'd call it clairvoyant?  It's more than intuition.  But I don't have visions." I finished explaining.

"Shut the front door.  I'm a faerie?  How fucking lame!" Sookie exclaimed.

"Excuse you me?  The fae are anything but lame.  I don't know what you're envisioning.  Which fictional Fae you're envisioning.  But the Disney version is not true Fae.  True fae are bloody dangerous.  We're mischievous and aren't afraid to commit some murder.  I'm the one that killed the pedophile Uncle by the bloody way along with Rene.  Our powers are anything but a fucking joke.  So just because you're diluted and can only shoot some light and read minds doesn't make our kind lame.  All the dangerous things you can read about the Fae is true.  We are tricksters.  We can be good but we can be evil.  We're two sides of a coin.  Never mistake us for just glitter because it will be the death of you." I said in a dangerously low tone as I glared at my sister.
