True Blood

Escape From Dragon House

"Help! Somebody, please!" I scream as I look at all the shattered glass behind me but when I finally move towards the body I stare at her lifeless eyes  "Sweetie. What did you get yourself into?" I whisper but then I hear glass shatter behind me, I jump around to see Jason standing there and I gasp 

"What the fuck?" he says and I run up to him, he immediately grabs me in his arms 

"Oh, my God, Jason. Oh, my God." I whisper 

"It's okay." He sighs but it was anything but soothing

"Like hell it is! Look at her. She is definitely not okay." I scream slamming my fists against his chest 

"Beating on me ain't gonna change anything none." Jason says and I sigh feeling like I wanted to vomit 

"Darling, I heard yelling. Sweet Lord in heaven, no." Dawns neighbour says walking into the room 

"What did you do?" The neighbour says looking at Jason 

"Me?" he cries and I look over at Jason 

"I found her, Miss Lebvre. He...He just got here." I whisper 

"I saw you last night, Jason Stackhouse. I heard y'all fighting, then she took a shot at you and you ran off. And now she's dead." The neighbour says and I raise my eyebrows 

"Jason?" I ask and he sighs 

"Yeah. We had a fight. But I came here to apologize." he says holding up his flowers. I shake my head 

"She fired a gun at you, and you come back to apologize?" I ask and he grabs my arm 

"Megs. I didn't do this You gotta believe me." he says and I shake my head trying to understand what the fuck was happening here. 

"Well, I'm calling the police." The neighbour says 

"Then call them." Jason screams throwing his flowers on the the ground  "I had nothing to do with this." he says as he storms out of the room and only minutes later the police show up and Im stuck in questioning 

"And I realize Megs you've been through a lot, and you're scared. But I need you to try and remember when you got here... was the door open or just unlocked?" he asks 

"Open, I think." I whisper but then my mind drifts off to Dawns lifeless eyes again. They were so pale. 

"Megs?" the sheriff asks 

"Sorry, what was the question?" I reply realising I must have gotten lost in my thoughts 

"Is that the exact position you found her in? And the windows?" he asks 

"I covered her up with a sheet, but I don't think I touched her. And I don't know how that happened I walked in and it was like that" I reply, lying through my teeth about what the fuck happened to those windows. The sheriff just shakes his head looking at me like I was a disappointing child. 

"I wish you hadn't done that." he replies and I scoff 

"Next time we find a friend of mine dead, I'll try to remember that." I reply and that was basically the end of our conversation before they throw Jason into a cop car.  When I watch the car leave I see Sam standing over me 

"Came as soon as I heard. I'm sorry you had to be the one to find her." he whispers placing his hand on my knee 

"It was gonna be somebody. Right?" I say shrugging 

"I guess. Oh, I tell you, Megs...sometimes I don't even recognize this world we're living in. I mean, goddamn it.  You think maybe I should shut down the bar for the day?" he asks and I shake my head 

"All that'd do is deny people a good, stiff drink on the day they could use it the most." I reply 

"Yeah, but..." he says and I sigh 

"I know it's supposed to be my day off...but the last thing I need right now is time alone with my thoughts." I say and he smiles at me 

"All right, then. We'll open." he replies 

"I may be late, though. I gotta swing be home and tell Gran what's going on." I reply and he sighs 

"It's Bon Temps, she already knows." he says laughing 

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Merlotte?" a cop says coming up to us 

"Yeah." Sam replies looking at him 

"Detective in charge tells me you're the landlord. We need to get in the victim's storage unit, but we don't have a key. If you could find one, it'd be a big help right about now." The cop says and Sam sighs getting up and then placing a kiss on my head. When Sam is out of sight I get into the car and head to Grandmas
