True Blood

Cold Ground

What do I do? What the fuck do I do I feel myself stuck in my shock as I drop my knees next to the body but something pulls me up from behind and I scream 

"It's me. Megs, it's me. You all right? Come here." Bill whispers pulling me into his embrace and I melt into him as my hand flies to my mouth to cover my sob. Suddenly Bill had let go of me and before I knew what was happening he was slamming someoneagainst the wall 

"Get your fuckin' hands off me!" I hear Sam scream and I walk over to see Bill holding him by the throat 

"What are you doing here?" Bill growls 

"I was making sure Megs got home safe. The door was open. What are you doing here?" Sam asks 

"It's okay Bill. Let him go." I cry and I watch as Sams eyes fly over my body until they stop on my hands which are covered in blood 

"What happened?" Sam gasps. it wasn't till  much later before the cops arrived 

"Why don't you go upstairs and lie down. They're gonna be in there a while. As soon as we find anything, I'll let you know." Sam says throwing a blanket over me 

"Maybe I could use a little air." I sigh and walk out feeling Sam follow me 

"So I should never have left you alone, and I lost my temper. I shouldn't have." Sam says and I snap 

"Do you think you could apologize to me some other time?" I hiss 

"I just... Whatever you need, anything I can do, you know I'm right here." he whispers 

"I know." I say "I should probably call Jason and Sookie" I whisper to him and he nods 

"I could do it if you like." Sam responds 

"Thank you." I say smiling as Sam calls Jason and Sookie. Bill comes out of the door and grabs me 

"What's going on?" I ask clinging onto him 

"They are about to move your grandmother." Bill says whispering in my ear and I feel my heart break 

"You might wanna go sleep at a friend's. Someplace less isolated." The sheriff says walking out of the house 

"I'm not going anywhere. No. This is my house. I'm staying right here." I say and I see them bringing grandmas bodies out "Are y'all done in there? 'Cause... I'd like to clean up." I hiss and the sheriff nods 

"All right, then. You call us at the first sign of anything." The sheriff says 

"I'm as safe here as anywhere. Besides, I got both of you to protect me, haven't I?" I say looking at Sam and Bill but Bill sighs 

"I have to go." he says and I nod 

"Of course. It's almost dawn." I say 

"I can take it from here." Sam responds 

"Don't worry about me." I whisper and Bill nods as he disappears. When I get back inside the house I start cleaning up the blood. The next day people started coming over with food offering me condolences. In the corner of my eyes I see Sookie having a meltdown and Tara runs up to her before I quickly follow. Sam suddenly appears before me and he places his hand on my shoulder but I quickly shake him off before glancing up to where Sookie and Tara had disappeared off to. 

"I need Sookie upstairs. Just give us a little girl time." I sigh. When we reach her bedroom Sookie starts eating grandmas pie I smile as I grab a hand full and shove it in my mouth 

"I shouldn't have lost it like that." Sookie states and I laugh 

"Don't you feel sorry for yelling at that snoopy old bitch. She's been sticking her nose where it don't belong for years." I say and Laf smirks as he walks in 

"I mean, if she talked any more shit, she'd be shaped like a toilet." he says laughing 

"Gran's gone. She's really gone. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Can't even think straight." Sookie says and I shake my head 

"Of course you can't. How can you, with all these circling buzzards. You know you're not their entertainment. You don't have to dance for 'em. You gotta feel whatever you're feeling." I say and Sookie smiles but I watch as Jason storms into the room and walks up to Sookie before slapping her 

"What the fuck?" I screech 

"It's your fault! Gran is dead 'cause of you. It should have been you!" Jason screams and I push him back 

"Don't you lay a hand on her!" I scream 

"You were fucking meant to be here Sookie, and you Megs fucking screwing a vampire" he yells as he tries to push me out of the way 

"That vampire was there for her when you weren't.  You ought to be ashamed of yourself! Is that how your grandma raised you? To beat on your own sisters?" Tara Cries and I push him hard enough that he stumbles back 

"Look at you! I don't even recognize you anymore! Get the hell out of here. Get out!" I scream and I watch as he turns around lost and walks away. After that I swallow a pill Laf gave me and I pass out cold. But something shakes me awake and I turn to see Bill standing there as Tara and Lafayette stand out the door looking shocked 

"Bill, what's wrong?" I ask and he looks panicked 

"I thought... I had a dream. That's all. You go back to sleep. But I... You don't worry. I'm not going anywhere." he says and I smile before drifting back to sleep. The next day we attend Grans funeral and I have the awkward job of sitting between Jason and Sookie. 

"Uncle Bartlett, what are you doing here?" I say when I see the old bastard sit near us 

"She was my sister." He hisses 

"You haven't been part of this family in a long time." I sneer back 

"Come on. Give the guy a break." Jason hisses at me and I glare 

"Sookie Stackhouse has prepared a few words." the funeral director says and I watch as Sookie gets up. Sookie begins her speech but I see the dread on her face 

"Shut up!  All of you, just shut the fuck up!" She screams as I see her run away I go to get up but Jason stops me 

"Let me" he whispers and I nod watching him run after her and then I sigh and walk the other way. 

"I was looking for you." sam says and I turn around to see him next to me 

"Well... you found me." I whisper 

"I'll walk you home." He whispers and I nod as he holds out his hand to me and I grab it. When we finally get home Sam speaks up 

"So how about you take a bath? I'll find us some stupid movie on TV. Something with aliens." he says and I sigh "Romantic comedy then?" he asks and I shake my head 

"Sam, not now. I just... I need to be alone. Thanks." I say and when I get inside I see Sookie sitting at the table crying as she's eating grandmas pie I smile before taking the seat next to her and while she sobs I grab a fork and eat with her 

"We're going to be ok you know that?" she sobs and I smile 

"I think I'm the one who should be saying that to you" I whisper and I take a bite of nans pie. When Sookies finally asleep I get undressed in my bedroom as I slip on my nightie something comes over me and I run towards Bills house when I'm finally close enough I see Bill standing there and the tears run down my face as I jump into his arms and he kisses me as hard as he can and when get into his living room he starts tearing my clothes off but he pulls away and hisses and I see Bill's fangs extend as he tries to hide them. 

"Do it" I whisper and I watch as he buries his teeth into her neck and starts to drink.
