does the deer forgive the wolf?

I’ve been having a hard time keeping up with my activity across my blogs and I would just feel a lot better if I moved her to my multi so I can give all of my muses the attention they deserve without feeling like I’m abandoning anyone. If you already follow me there, great! If you don’t - hey, that’s where I am and the more the merrier. If you don’t want to follow me over there I totally understand. But I do hope to see you there and I’m sorry if I’ve been letting anyone down. I know I’ve let myself down. 💜

❝  oh  i'm  sorry  sweetie,  i'll  think  of  calling  it  something  else,  maybe  going  out  to  get  a  happy  meal.  ❞  he  shrugged,  but  he  deduced  that  maybe  she  wasn't  feeling  bad  about  the  murder  part.  ❝  are  you  upset  that  i  won't  feed  off  you  ?  ❞

❝ A happy meal? For real? ❞ Sookie mostly uttered this to herself. He reminded her of how Eric used to act when they first met, pretending that he cared so little for human life and that only their blood mattered to him. Her lips parted in shock and awe, stammering out her words next. ❝ No, I don't want you to feed on me! Do I look like a happy meal to you? I'll answer that for you. NO. ❞

❝ As flattering as that offer is, I really don't mind my mortality all that much. ❞ Had Sookie ever thought about what it would be like to be a vampire? Of course she did. She was sure every human had thought about it at least once, whether they liked vampires or not. She'd thought about it back when she was dating Bill and even though she had love for him, she still didn't want to turn into one just to be with him. ❝ I've got enough on my plate just being me, Rebekah, vampire or no vampires in my life. Trust me, I've prayed for a normal life. It hasn't happened yet. I'm startin' to accept it never will. ❞

❝514, ❞ she repeated out loud, nodding her head a few times. Sookie had met older; even Godric claimed he was older than Jesus. Even still, she was always so curious about the vampires she met, like she hadn't met enough of them for the glitz and glamour to have worn off by now. ❝ What was it like to be turned all that time ago when nobody even knew vampires existed?? ❞

" Tell me , girl . " hands swing behind back as he takes up her space , inspecting her or maybe sizing her up to determine whether to indulge or capture . " What vampire is it that you belong to , pray ? " It's the only thing holding him back at this point . Tongue flooding as he salivates . There is one wrong answer . And he hopes a hard headed independent woman as herself would take to it : She belongs to no one .

❝ Not at the moment, no, but I got some vampire friends that would gladly accept if I wanted to be theirs, ❞ she quickly added, talking right out of her ass like it was a last-second save on her part.

* MEME, always accepting.

❝ I think we both just need to call it a night, especially before you end up shootin' the wrong person. ❞ Sookie took a step to the side and immediately felt something squishy between her toes. She already knew what it was, making a face before she even looked down to confirm her worst suspicions. ❝ Yep, there's blood all in my sandals. I wish I could say I was used to this by now but it just gets more and more upsetting every time I gotta throw my favorite clothes into the garbage can. ❞

She toweled off her face and looked at Sookie again in the mirror. "You saying I look like shit Sook?" She asked her with the worst attempted at a joking smile. Sighing she relented. "I would really apprciate it...." She admitted, shoulders slumping.

❝  gotta  run.  have  a  murder  to  plan.  busy  day.  ❞

❝ You can't just say something like that and leave and not expect me to not feel good about that. ❞

EYES LOOK FROM SIDE TO SIDE to a few wandering tourists in his shop . It's likely they didn't understand enough English to know what the two were talking about , at least in full conversation . He shirks her concern off with a wave of the hand . " PUH-LEASE , you're in an oddities store where the owner is some crazy fuck that swears he sees ghosts and survived a supposed murder hotel . " Referring to himself , of course . " If you gave a fuck about what people thought about you , you wouldn't be hanging out with me . "

Sookie was grinning about what he said. ❝ It's true. I really do got an eclectic group of friends. ❞ Her mind went home to Bon Temps, thinking about her best friend had turned into a vampire working in a nightclub and her other friend, ironically Tara's cousin, found out that he could talk to the dead and occasionally practiced magic. Clearly, she liked being around people about as "normal" as herself. ❝ Okay, so obviously my standards are a little low, ❞ she teased him, ❝ but I'm still trying to keep a low profile for the time being. Besides, I heard the vampires around here are a different breed than what I'm used to back home. ❞

his smile's tired, a little strained, but it's as genuine as her concern. " thanks. for asking, i mean. " eye contact for a beat more and then he's reaching into his backpack, fishing out a textbook stuffed with unfinished notes. " i should be studying for the biology test tomorrow, but it might actually be easier to just fill out a drop form now. "

❝ Do you need some help? I don't know if we have time to make flashcards but I got a feeling about what's going to be on that test . . . you know . . . based on what we've been going over. ❞ That might have been true, but what was also true was that she'd accidentally (honest, it really was an accident!) overheard their teacher's thoughts about what he was going to include in the test. It wasn't one hundred percent guaranteed but at least it was a step in the right direction.

❝ Yep, come on. Car's right outside. ❞ She moved through the crowd of desperate humans and vampires alike until they breached the entrance, cool night air meeting them in an instant. Outside some others hung around the parking lot and thankfully none of them were human protestors. ❝ Right over here, ❞ she said as she pointed to the old yellow car. She unlocked her side before pressing the button to unlock the passenger side.
