The Smallest Stackhouse

Chapter 1: Death in the family

The next morning I woke up to my alarm going off. I got up, got dressed in black leggings, boots, tank top, and red flannel. I walked downstairs into the kitchen to see Gran making pancakes and sausage. " Morning Gran." I called from the doorway.

"Morning Hun. Sit I'll get you a plate." Gran said sweetly.

"Thanks Gran. Hey, um I was wondering if you would like to meet my boyfriend Eric?" I asked. She pulled out a chair and sat down. She handed me a plate of food and a glass of orange juice.

"Sweetheart I remember you saying something about a tall, blonde haired, Viking when you were little. And how one day he and I think it was Godric would sweep you off your feet. Which means that I am going to have to meet him. Now hurry up and eat so you can get to school on time." She inquired with a sweet smile. She then got up kissed my head and went to take a shower.

I finished breakfast, brushed my teeth and went out to my mint green and white 1966 Ford f100 custom cab v8 long bed pickup truck.

*****TIMESKIP TO AFTER SCHOOL AND BACK HOME*****

When I got home I when upstairs for a few hours and did homework since I didn't have to go to work today. That and the DGD was tonight so I happily helped Gran get everything ready. I then got dressed in a simple white knee length sundress and white flats. After that it was time to go to the DGD and I was both excited and nervous. I knew Gran would accept Eric, but I was a little scared of what Jason was going to say and or do.

I waited outside the church for a good ten minutes before I heard, "I can smell you from a mile away Min prinsessa." I jumped up and spun around to be met with a rock hard chest. "I did not know that you liked church Olivia." Eric said.

"I don't but my Gran spent all week on this, so I couldn't just miss it. Come on I want you to meet my her. Eric you do know you can call me Liv right." I enquired.

"Alright then Liv." He said in a sarcastic tone.We walked into the church and was greeted by Gran.

" Hey Hun I was wondering when you were coming inside. Oh, who would this handsome young man be?" Gran said politely. I gave a small giggle at how she called him young.

"Gran this is my mate Eric. Eric this is my grandmother Adele Stackhouse." I introduced

"Hello Mrs. Stackhouse I am Eric Northmen it is a pleasure to meet you. And might I say your granddaughter is a very beautiful young woman." He greeted.

"My aren't you polite, and please call me Adele.Well come on Mr. Compton's speech is about to start." We made our way to the seats and sat down. Eric was telling how was going to take me out to dinner after the DGD. He was excited I could tell; I could feel it radiating off him. He took my hand in his and squeezed it gently.

'I love you soo much Liv. I Just wish i could tell you.' I gasped.

'He loves me. I love you too Eric too much.Wait, did i just read his mind.' I thought.

'Wait, i thought you couldn't read vampires minds. Oh, and i can read your thoughts as well.'

*****FLASHBACK: to last night*****

I was trying to do homework when I heard a tap on the window. I looked to the window to see Eric just floating there outside my second floor window! I jumped off my bed, and rushed to the window flinging it open. "How are you doing that?" I cried.

"Well hello to you to Olivia." He chuckled at my amazement. "Can I come in?" He questioned.

"Oh, sorry. Come on in." I said stepping away from the window. He stepped inside and looked around.

"Doing homework I see. I wanted to ask you about how you knew their was going to be a raid on the bar earlier tonight."

"I um i'm telepathic i can also feel other's emotions, and um i have visions." I rushed. I could feel his surprise even though he did not show any emotion. "Oh and Sookie's telepathic too."

*****BACK TO THE PRESENT*****

'I guess its a mate thing. I think we also have to be touching. You think Sookie can hear us.' I looked back at Sookie who didn't seem to notice. 'I guess not.' After about twenty minutes the DGD ended. We went up to Gran so i can said goodbye.

"Are you leaving Liv? Well i guess i'll see you at home, bye sweetheart."Gran said sweetly.

"Night Gran see you later."I grabbed Erics hand and walked to my truck.

"This is yours?" Asked Eric.

"Yeah my granddaddy was going to give it to me, but he just disappeared one day so now it's mine." I said starting the truck.

*****TIMESKIP DO TO LAZINESS*****

We pulled up in the driveway to see a taxi pulling away. I parked and got out, Eric followed. We stepped up to the house. Eric hesitated which worked me but I shook it off and kept walking inside right behind Sookie. She opened the door and stepped inside.

Sookie slipped in something but caught herself and turned on the light. What I saw when the light came on was the one thing I was most terrified of. There it was my Grandmother lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood. Just then I noticed the floor get closer, I had collapsed on my knees hurting my already bad knee.

I don't know why but for some reason I reached out for my Gran as if to see if this was really real. My hand was gently grabbed by Eric and he pulled me into his chest. 'This is all my fault I should have seen this why didn't I see it. I could have stopped this from happening.' I was broken, my mental shield was down, I couldn't think straight, and I definitely couldn't move.

Eric goes me close to him. His warmth radiated, but I was numb and in shock that I couldn't even cry.
