Look Before You Leap [True Blood]

10: Everyone Hates Witches

"Eric was just leaving," Bill said.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"To talk to some witches."

"There are witches? Can I come with you?"

Eric looked at Bill.

"I don't see why not. Witches are relatively harmless, and a necromancer couldn't do anything to you," Bill said.

"They're necromancers, like people that can control the dead?" I asked.

"Yes and that also includes vampires," Bill said.

"Oh my gosh! I see why they're a big deal."

"Shall we go?" Eric asked.

"We shall."

I texted Lily. "I'll see you guys when you get home from work. Going to see some witches with Eric. Don't worry about me."

We pulled up outside some place called Moon Goddess Emporium and walked inside. "This place smells weird," I mumbled as we walked to the back room. Eric, always one to make an entrance, threw open the doors dramatically. They all looked up.

"Ya'll looking for a dead body?" Eric asked. Then he popped out his fangs everyone gasped. Lafayette jumped up, that's when he saw me.

"Lala what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I could ask you the same question!" He said.

"I came with Eric."

"Jesus brought me."

"Anyways," Eric said ending me and Lafayette's conversation. "Which one of you is Marnie?"

An old lady stepped forward. "I'm Marnie."

"You're coven will never meet again, alright?"

"What do I get out of that?" She asked.

"I'd listen to him Marnie, he tends to get his way," Lafayette said.

"Join hands," Marnie said.

Eric grabbed her and bit her. "Eric!" I yelled.

Tara came running in with a stake and raised it up. "Stop, Tara!" I grabbed her arm

Eric dropped Marnie and grabbed Tara. "Eric, don't bite her!"

It seemed like there was a thunderstorm in the room. Then Marnie stood up and started chanting.

I collapsed.

Sookie and I drove up to Fangtasia to talk to Pam.

"Hello Rachel." She said.

"I'm Lily," I corrected her.

"Damn, you two look so much alike. But you couldn't be more different."

"Why are you here?" She asked.

"Is there any way you can convince Eric to sell my house back?" Sookie asked.

"He's my maker; did you really think I'd side with you? Have you tried getting Rachel to ask?"

"No. Do you think that would work?" I asked.

"He loves her. It just might."

"She's with him now. We'll wait around until they get back," I said.

"You do that, and leave me alone."

We walked out of the office.

"I've got to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back," Sookie said.
