True Blood

I Will Rise Up

"You think so? Well, I-I could try, I guess." he says and I sigh

"I'm sorry too. I always love you, Jason, even when I wanna stick
your head in a bucket and kick it around the yard." I sigh

"And I love you, even though I wish you'd cook for me more and you were normal with a normal boyfriend." he says

"I didn't have any say about being normal. We were born the way we are. I'm all wore out now." I say lying into the bed and Jason turns on the TV and I see the Preacher couple

"Can you believe, they're on already." Jason sighs

"You kidnapped a prominent member of our community." The vampire woman cries

"He volunteered. ...that's no crime. He came to us." the preacher states and I roll my eyes

"They are cuckoo. How can you have a dialogue with these people?" I scream at the TV as Jason starts laughing. Later that night I crawl back into bed with Bill and fall asleep but I feel something touch my shoulder and when I turn around I see Eric

"Finish your sentence." he whispers as I turn over

"What was I saying?" I ask smiling

"You were telling me why you'd be a terrible vampire and I was disagreeing." he says playing with my hair

"Well, I don't feel right without a tan. It's true. And I'd rather
be alive than undead and then y'all are always killing." I say and he laughs

"You've killed a man." he whispers

"But that was for self-defense, not for lunch." I say as he kisses my hand

"Oh, you'd adapt, like we all do. Trade the sun for moon and stars." he says

"Not me. I want them all." I whisper and he moves his face closer

"Oh, greedy." he states and I laugh

"You have the right temperament for a vampire." he says again

"What, I'm high-maintenance, bloodthirsty and old as dirt?" I ask and he laughs

"Ah, bloodthirsty, yes." he responds

"I am not." I state placing my hand on his cheek

"Everybody thinks you're a darling, don't they." he whispers

"I am a darling." I state smiling

"Yeah, but you're ruthless when it comes to people you love. You'll do anything for them. Your brother, your friends. Me. Bill." he whispers placing his hands all over my body

"Bill? Where's Bill?" I whisper but in the corner of my eyes I see Bills maker sitting in a chair

"What do you care? You've already abandoned him." she hisses and I feel Eric place little kisses on my neck and I moan

"I have not. I love Bill." I whisper but then Eric pulls me to face him

"I used to think you had no sense of humor." he whispers kissing my lips

"I used to think you were made of cold hard stone, and empty inside." I sigh

"And now?" he asks placing his hand on my cheek

"You're a big faker. You're deep. You feel. There's love in you." I say and he smiles

"Only for Megs" he whispers and it's the first time i've heard him use my nickname

"You don't want Bill.  He means nothing to you." the  woman cries and I shake my head but Eric jumps on top of me

"This is the beginning." he whispers kissing my neck and I forget everything I was thinking about but when I turn I see Bill fast asleep and I almost fall off the bed. The next day we have a bunch of vampires come in for a meeting including the one that's always on the TV
