Chapter 4
Sookie gasped in shock when Bill suddenly appeared behind her in the kitchen, where she was preparing a snack for Alyssa. She moved away from him without saying anything, but he stopped her by grabbing her arm.
“What’s the rush? I was hoping we could talk,” he told her, putting his Southern charm on thick.
“I should get back upstairs, Alyssa is waiting for me.”
He waved her off. “A few minutes won’t hurt, you’ve been working here for several months now and I don’t know much about you. For instance, is there a special man in your life? A woman as beautiful as you can’t possibly be single.”
Sookie gently removed her arm from his grasp. “I am, sir, but I do have a date tonight.”
Bill moved closer to her. “Does he know how special you are, Sookie? Does he value all that you have to offer? If you give yourself to me, I guarantee you will know exactly how desired you are. It could be our little secret.”
He was kissing her before Sookie even knew what happened. She was beyond disgusted and pushed him away, just as Mrs. Compton decided to make her presence known.
“What the hell is this? You’re fucking the nanny now? You little whore!” Lorena screeched the last part to Sookie. “I knew there was something I didn’t trust about you! You’re just a gold digging tramp, aren’t you? I want you out of this house; you’ll never work in this town again if I have anything to say about it.”
Sookie had enough at that point; she was tired of being nice to these people. “God, that’s it! If anyone is a whore around here, it’s you! Both of you are a disgrace, you know that? Newsflash, ma’am, I wouldn’t touch your husband if he was the last man on earth. He’s the one who’s been making passes at me, but I bet you don’t even care. You’ve just been looking for any excuse to get rid of me. You have a wonderful little girl that you don’t even appreciate; she would probably be dead from neglect right now if it wasn’t for me. I’m officially done putting up with this shit, neither of you deserve her.” With those words said, she stormed out of the mansion, not looking back once. Sookie couldn’t believe she lost control like that, because of her actions she would likely never get to see Alyssa again, but there was only so much a person could take before they just snapped.

“Are you okay? You’ve hardly said anything all night.”
Sookie finally broke out of her reverie at his concerned voice. “I’m sorry, Eric, I just have a lot on my mind. I basically got fired because I talked back to the Compton’s after Lorena caught Bill making a move on me; the jerk actually had the nerve to kiss me. He probably knew she would catch us, I just feel awful.”
He patted her hand across the table. If Bill Compton was there right now, he would take a swing at the bastard himself. Eric didn’t give a damn about who he was, the fucker should pay for the way he’d been treating Sookie. His bitch of a wife was no better; it was Alyssa that he felt sorry for. The poor girl was all alone now. “I’m sorry, love, he gives all men a bad name. Those are a fine example of the type of people who should never reproduce.”
She felt tears in her eyes. “What am I going to do? I know I had every right to say what I did, but how could I just leave Alyssa like that? What if they take it out on her? As far as I know, they’ve never been physically abusive with her before, but I wouldn’t trust them for a second. They think they can get away with anything just because they’re rich. I’m not being fair to you, either, you took me to this gorgeous restaurant and I’m just a mess. I wouldn’t blame you if you never wanted to see me again.”
Eric got up then, cupping her cheeks in his hands and touching his lips to hers in a tender caress, wiping one of her fallen tears away. “If anything, this just makes me want you even more. You’re an amazing woman, Miss Stackhouse, never doubt that.”
She blushed, keeping her hand in his when he sat back down. He knew just what to say to make her feel better, but her worry for Alyssa would never go away. Sookie just hoped that she was all right.

“Man, I would have given anything to tell those two off. I wish I could have seen their faces.”
Sookie rolled her eyes. “That’s not the point, Ames, whether they deserved it or not. My Gran raised me better than that.”
“Your Gran also raised you to stand up for yourself, and that’s what you did. I know you feel guilty over Alyssa, but those douchebags had it coming,” Amelia claimed.
“I just wish I knew if she was okay,” Sookie replied.
Amelia was about to respond, but a news bulletin on the television had her reaching for the remote to turn the volume up. Her eyes widened along with Sookie’s as the reporter talked about a fatal car accident involving Bill and Lorena Compton that left no survivors.
“Oh my God, was Alyssa with them?” Sookie wondered, tears clouding her vision.
Amelia grabbed her friend’s arm. “Calm down, Sook, there was no mention of Alyssa. You said yourself that they usually never take her with them when they’re out on the town.”
“I have to find her,” she said, still in a state of shock. Sookie ran out of the house before Amelia could stop her and all the way to the Compton estate, only to find two police cars out front. “What’s going on? Where’s Alyssa?” One of the officers blocked her from going inside the house; she tried to keep her temper in check.
“I’m sorry, Miss, you can’t be here.”
“I heard about Mr. and Mrs. Compton on the news; they have an eight-year-old daughter. I just need to know if she’s okay, I used to be her nanny,” Sookie explained as best she could.
He nodded. “We are aware of the girl; she was taken to the station. That’s all I can tell you.”
Sookie nodded as well and headed back across the cemetery to get her car, she needed to see for herself that Alyssa was unharmed.

“I’m here to see Alyssa,” Sookie stated as soon as she got to the police station.
“Miss Stackhouse, this really isn’t the best time,” Andy Bellefleur told her.
She was starting to lose what little patience she had left. “Is Alyssa Compton here or not? I need to know what’s going to happen to her.”
Andy let out a frustrated sigh. “Yes, she’s here, she hasn’t spoken to anyone since she got picked up. There is no next of kin and the Compton’s weren’t smart enough to have wills drawn up, I’m afraid she’ll have to be put in the foster care system.”
“What? No, there has to be some other way. There’s no guarantee that she’ll be put in a good home, and she’s already had to grow up with a shitty life. I won’t let her go through that again.”
“And what do you suppose we do?” he asked, clearly agitated.
Sookie’s eyes lit up when a thought occurred to her. “I’ll take her. This is really the best solution. She already knows me; I’ve been her nanny for almost seven months. Please, you can’t send her away to live with strangers.”
Andy rubbed his temples. “There’s a social worker in with her now, you’ll have to take this up with him. That’s not in my job description.”
Sookie nodded and headed to the room that Alyssa was in, stopping in her tracks at the man who was sitting in there with her. “Alcide? You’re the social worker?”
He looked up with a start, seeming just as shocked. “Sookie Stackhouse? Well, isn’t this a nice surprise?”
Not exactly the way she would put it, her ex-boyfriend was the one to determine if she would get to keep Alyssa or not. Could this day possibly be any worse?
