Sam had a terrified and concerned look on his face, as he noticed Summer lying flat on her stomach, on the floor below, soaked in her own blood. Lafayette was kneeling down towards her and trying to see if she was still alive. Summer’s eyes slowly flickered open and she tried to speak.
Summer: I’m so cold (in a low voice)
Lafayette: (noticing her blood soaked back) Sam, she’s not looking too good.
Sam folded his arms and contemplated on what he should do. Should he call an ambulance or should he wait another hour for the sun to settle so that Eric could heal her? The ambulance sounded better to him, but he didn’t know how long she had been lying on his kitchen floor or how bad her wounds really were. What if the doctors couldn’t save her? That was the main question on his mind. Sam got on his knees and leaned down towards Summer’s face. He looked into her eyes and knew that she didn’t have much life left in her.
Sam: Can you move?
Summer: No (barely able to speak)
Sam: Lafayette, help me lift her up.
Sam slowly placed his hands on her shoulders and slowly flipped her over onto her back. She flinched in pain, feeling a shooting pain up and down her spine. Lafayette slid his arms under her legs and Sam had his hands under her arms. Together they lifted her up and slowly carried her out of the kitchen and down the hallway towards his office. Sam kicked opened his office door and backed into his office, still helping to carry Summer into the room. He then realized that there was nothing to lay her down on. In the corner, propped up against the wall, was a cot.
Sam: Lafayette, go get the cot over there in the corner.
Lafayette: What about Summer?
Sam: I got her.
Lafayette let her legs gently fall to the floor and Sam slid his hands under her knees to pick her up and hold her in his arms. Sam noticed that Summer was in pain, because her face showed it when he moved her. Lafayette walked over to the corner of the room and grabbed the cot. He walked over towards Sam and laid the cot down. Sam slowly, laid Summer onto the cot.
Lafayette: Now what? Do we call the ambulance? That’s a lot of damn blood.
Sam glanced down at his hands and noticed they were covered in blood. He thought for a moment, but didn’t know which solution was the right one. A part of him wanted him to call 9-1-1, but the other part of him wanted him to wait till sunset for Eric.
Lafayette: Damn, it boy, what’s it gonna be? She doesn’t have a lot of damn time (sounding worried)
Sam: Damn it, Lafayette! Give me some time to think! (Getting agitated)
He slumped back into his desk chair, in front of Summer’s cot, and tried thinking of what to do. Summer turned her head, slightly, looking at him.
Summer: No hospital, please (barely able to speak)
Lafayette: Sweetness, you’re fuckin’ crazy. I think the blood loss has made you delusional.
Summer: I don’t want to go (in a low voice)
Sam: What would you have me do? (Grabbing Summer’s hand)
Summer: Wait for Eric.
Sam lowered his head and then reached into his back pocket, pulling out his cell phone. He dialed Eric’s number and held the phone up against his right ear.
Sam: Eric, once the sun sets, you need to get your dead ass over here quick.
He flipped the cell phone closed and tossed it onto the desk behind him. He grasped a hold of Summer’s hand, trying to give her some comfort. Summer gave him a slight smile.
Summer: Can you call Sookie for me? We had a fight… (Interrupted)
Sam: Sure, no problem. (Looking at Lafayette) Lafayette, can you call her for me?
Lafayette: Sure.
Lafayette walked out of the room to call Sookie. Sam sat by Summer’s side to keep her company while they waited.
Sam: Who did this to you?
Summer: The new girl. She was James’ girlfriend.
Sam: I should have known that girl was up to no good (sounding upset and angry at the same time)
Summer: It wasn’t your fault. You couldn’t have known. If anyone is to blame, it’s me. I should have read her thoughts.
Sam: I am so sorry (tear rolling down his cheek)
Sam felt horrible for hiring Lee so quickly. He felt like he should of waited, but he was in desperate need of another waitress. He couldn’t believe that his irresponsibleness caused his employee and long-time friend to be severely injured. If she were to die, then he would feel horrible. He might even do something drastic and go kill that bitch, Lee Shaw, himself. Lafayette then entered the room.
Lafayette: Sookie is on her way. I didn’t exactly tell her what was wrong.
Sam: Okay, thanks.
Twenty minutes later, Sookie ran through the front door of the bar with Jason following right behind her. She ran through the bar area and straight into Sam’s office. As she stepped into the room, she stopped in her tracks and nearly lost her breath as she noticed her twin sister lying on the cot, almost as pale as a ghost from the loss of blood. Sookie rushed to her side, and plopped down on her knees next to the cot. She grabbed Summer’s hand and a tear rolled down her cheek.
Sookie: Hey, Summer, I’m here (upset)
Summer: Hey, sis (smiling slightly) I am so sorry about the fight we had (in a low voice)
Sookie: (more tears rolling down her face) It’s okay. Don’t worry about that now. Are you in lots of pain right now?
Summer: A little bit. Not like before.
Jason stepped into the room and gasped as he noticed Summer lying on the cot next to Sookie. He quickly walked over and kneeled down on the other side of the cot.
Jason: What the hell happened to you?
Sam: Lee happened?
Jason: What? Who the hell is that?
Sam: The new waitress I hired. She had attacked Summer from behind, stabbing her in the back numerous times.
Jason: Well where the hell is that bitch?! (Angry)
Sam: Not sure. We don’t know how long Summer was lying on the kitchen floor.
Jason grabbed her other hand and his eyes widened as he felt the temperature of her hand. It was cold. Not ice cold, but pretty cold. Her palm was clammy and her face was white, which wasn’t her everyday base tan complexion. He then stroked her hair to try to comfort her. She looked up at him and gave him a faint smile.
Jason: Hey, sis.
Summer: Hey, Jay (in a low voice)
Jason: You’re going to be okay.
Sam: I need to speak with you two out in the hallway.
Sookie: We can’t just leave her in here (upset)
Sam: Lafayette will stay here with her.
Lafayette: Of course.
Sookie and Jason followed Sam’s lead out of his office and into the hallway. Sam grabbed the office door knob and slowly closed it behind him. Jason and Sookie stood, uneasy, waiting for Sam to speak.
Jason: Well what the hell do you want to talk to us about? (Frustrated)
Sookie: Jason, don’t be so rude.
Jason: Sorry. I’m just upset and angry right now. Sorry, Sam.
Sam: That’s quite alright. I was wondering what you two wanted to do about this situation. It’s been bothering me for a bit now. Should we call the ambulance or what?
Sookie: They won’t be able to do anything for her. She looks pretty serious.
Jason: Are you fuckin’ crazy? That’s our sister in there. She’s dying, Sookie!! She needs to go to the hospital.
Sookie: Then they’ll have to perform surgery on her and who knows if she’ll even survive that. She might be bleeding on the inside. Don’t you ever think? (Getting angry)
Jason: Then tell me what we’re supposed to do, since you think you’re smarter than me.
Sookie: We wait for Eric.
Jason: Oh, you are fuckin’ crazy.
Sookie: He’ll be able to heal her and we won’t have to worry about any surgeries or having to explain to the police why she was stabbed.
Jason: Why was she stabbed anyways?
Sam: Revenge. Summer had killed her boyfriend.
Jason: Summer? (Confused)
Sam: I’ll explain it to you later. For now, we just need to concentrate on Summer.
Sam then turned around and turned the door knob. He pushed the door open and stepped inside. Jason and Sookie followed him inside and all sat by her side, waiting for Eric to show up.
Later, Eric rushed through the front door of Merlotte’s bar like a wind just blew through. He sensed that Summer was close by and ran down the hallway and barging into Sam’s office. As he appeared in the room, he noticed everyone hovered by Summer’s side. Sookie looked up at him with tears rolling down her face.
Sookie: Help her, please (crying)
Jason moved over slightly, so that Eric could kneel down next to her. As Eric was on her knees, he scanned Summer’s body and noticed the bloody towels under her back. Her face was almost as white as snow and her eyes were barely open. He could smell and sense that she was close to death.
Jason: Well go ahead and heal her already.
Eric: Everyone leave the room, right now.
Jason: Like hell we are.
Eric: If you want your sister to live, then you will leave now (giving Jason a serious look)
Jason got up onto his feet and helped Sookie up off the floor. He held her hand and escorted her out of the office. Sam slowly stood up out of his desk chair and glanced down at Summer. He then followed Lafayette out of the office and closed the door behind him. Everyone walked into the bar and sat down in the chairs, waiting for some good news.
Several minutes later, Eric slowly walked into the bar area with his head down low. Sam was leaning up against the bar, while Sookie and Jason sat in one of the empty booths. She was laying her head on Jason’s shoulder with tears rolling down her face.
Sam: So did you heal her (approaching Eric)
Eric: I could not.
Sam: What? (Confused)
Eric: She is too near death for me to heal her.
Sookie pushed Jason and he slid out of the booth. She slid out and maneuvered her way quickly around the table and chairs to get to Eric.
Sookie: You go in there and heal her right now you son-of-a-bitch!!
Eric: I can not.
Sookie: Please, help her. I know you can help her! Please!(More tears rolling down her face)
Jason: I told you we should of taking her to the fuckin’ hospital.
Sookie: I can’t loose my sister. If she dies, then I die. We’ve lost so many already (upset)
Jason feeling angry pushed through the chairs near him and charged Eric grabbing a hold of his black shirt.
Jason: Go in there and heal her right now!!
Eric: Let go of me, human.
Jason: Not until you heal her.
Eric grabbed Jason’s wrist and twisted it, causing Jason to flinch in pain. He then pushed Jason, sending him flying back and falling onto the floor. Sookie rushed over to him to make sure he was okay. She then looked up at Eric, upset and angry by what he just did.
Eric: I warned him.
Sookie: You didn’t have to hurt him.
Eric: Well he didn’t have to touch me. (Pause) He will live. I could have done much worse.
Sam: So I guess we call the ambulance then.
Eric: The doctors won’t be able to help her.
Sam: So are you saying that we just let her die?
Sam couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He wouldn’t let her just die. There had to be another way. Then he thought that maybe Eric didn’t want to save her. He had to find out.
Sam: Are you lying to us?
Eric: Why would I lie to you? I have no reason to lie.
Sam: It seems to me like you don’t want to save her.
Eric: You don’t know what you speak of, dog (getting angry)
Sookie: Turn her.
Jason: What? (Looking at her)
Sookie stood up off the floor and approached Eric. She was willing to do anything to save her sister. Even if it meant having her as a vampire. She just couldn’t loose her sister. Summer was everything to her. They did everything together. She couldn’t loose another family member.
Sookie: You can turn her, right?
Eric: She doesn’t want that.
Sookie: I don’t care. Please, do it.
Eric: I can’t.
Sookie: Do you even care about her?
Eric: I do. More than anything, but she doesn’t want an immortal life.
Sookie: Please, do it. Please. I can’t loose her!!
Jason grabbed her from behind and escorted her over to one of the empty booths. She and Jason sat down and she laid her head on his chest, continuing to cry.
Eric: Sam she wants to talk to you.
Sam walks passed him and into his office. He walked over to a dying Summer on the cot and kneeled down next to her. He slid his hand under hers and held it, tightly. She turned her head slightly and gave him a smile.
Sam: Hey, there.
Summer: Don’t be sad, Sam. You have been a good friend to me and to my family. Plus, you’re not a bad boss either.
Sam: (smiling) You’re not too bad of an employee. But you’re an even better friend.
Summer: I want you to look after Sookie and my brother while I’m gone. They’re not going to handle my death very well.
Sam: You’re not going to die. We won’t let you (a tear rolling down his cheek)
Summer: Promise me, you’ll look out for them.
Sam: I promise.
He leaned down and planted his lips on her forehead. His hand let go of hers and he slowly stood up. As he walked towards the front door and out of his office, he wiped the tears from his face.
A little later, she had spoken to both Lafayette and Jason. They both said their good byes to her. Lafayette sat at one of the tables, by himself, with tears strolling down his face. Jason sat in one of the booths, his head lying in his arms as he cried. Sookie was in the office with Summer, kneeling down next to her and kissing her hand.
Sookie: You are going to be okay. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.
Summer: I want you to be happy, Sookie. Even if that means it’s with Bill. I’m okay with that now. Just make sure you look after Jason. He’s not handling this real well.
Sookie: Stop talking like this. You’re not dying.
Summer: I am. And it’s okay.
Sookie: It’s not okay. Please, stop talking like this (crying)
Summer: When I’m gone, you need to try to be happy. I don’t want you crying over me.
Sookie: Stop, please (still crying)
Summer raised up her hand with as much energy as she had left, and wiped the tears from Sookie’s face. Sookie then leaned down and hugged Summer. After a few minutes, she slowly got back onto her feet and walked out the office door. As she stepped into the bar area, she looked up and noticed Eric standing by the bar. She approached him, hoping that he would change his mind.
Sookie: So have you thought about what I’ve said?
Eric: There was nothing to think about. I told you what my answer was before.
She flashed him an evil glance and walked passed him. Eric lowered his head and thought about what Sookie wanted him to do. It sounded tempting, but he remembered what Summer had told him the other night. She didn’t want to be a vampire. She made that perfectly clear. He lifted up his head and looked at all the sad faces around the room. Nobody seemed to notice as Eric walked away from the bar, into the hallway and inside Sam’s office. Slowly and quietly he closed the office door behind him.
Several minutes later, Eric strolled into the bar carrying Summer in his arms. Everyone noticed and had concerned looks on their faces.
Sam: Is she dead?
Eric: Yes.
Before anyone else could say anything, Eric ran out of the bar quicker than they could blink. They turned their heads towards the front door and noticed the door slamming shut. Sam walked over to the front door, and slowly stepped outside. He immediately noticed Eric’s red Ferrari speed out of the gravel parking lot and onto the paved road ahead. As he stepped back into the bar, he realized that something wasn’t quite right. Eric had done something or else he wouldn’t have taken Summer’s dead body with him.
Jason: Where the hell did he go with my sister?
Sam: I’m not sure.
Later in the cemetery near the Stackhouse home, Pam stood next to Eric looking into an empty burial plot. Eric threw the shovel down onto the grown and leaned down to pick up Summer, who was lying lifeless on the grass. He scooped her up into his arms and then jumped down into the empty grave that he had dug himself. Slowly he laid her down and looked up at Pam.
Eric: You know what to do.
Pam: Of course.
She grabbed the shovel and began shoveling dirt into the empty grave. Eric laid behind Summer and wrapped his arm around her as Pam began shoveling more dirt on top of them.
Meanwhile, at the Stackhouse home, Sookie was upstairs and had entered Summer’s bedroom. Slowly she made her way over to the bed and climbed on top of it. She laid her head down on the pillow and pressed her nose into it, trying to get the smell of Summer’s perfume. Bill appeared behind Sookie and laid down behind her on the bed. He wrapped his arm around her and she began crying.
The next night, in the cemetery, a hand popped up out of the dirt and then another one. Slowly, Eric’s head came out of the dirt and he pulled himself out. As he climbed the rest of the way out of the grave, he stood up and spit the dirt out of his mouth. Suddenly, he noticed another hole in the dirt, near the one he had made. He realized that Summer had already awoken before him. Her scent was fresh in the air and he knew that she wasn’t far.
Meanwhile, at the Stackhouse home, Sookie walked down the stairs and as she reached the last step, she noticed the front door wide open. She made her way over to the door and she looked down noticing dirt starting from the porch and making their way into the living room. Slowly she stepped into the living room and didn’t notice anybody around. She started to feel her heart beating in her chest as she knew that somebody or something was inside her house. A feeling came over her as if someone was standing behind her. She swallowed hard and slowly turned around. Suddenly her back was pinned down to the floor and somebody was on top of her. She opened her eyes as she felt something tighten around her neck. On top of her was her sister, Summer.
Summer: Hello, sis (fangs out)
To Be Continued….
Awesome,keep em coming.
