"But you love me anyways…but if I was really evilz I'd let it slip around miss Compton that my very eligible…very handsome and cute little brother might be taken off the market by a very very pretty and feisty redhead." Sookie jokes but I grab her by her arms just below her shoulders and hold her at arms length from me.
"I'll admit Isabella Compton…has an affect on me I don't quite understand…but Sookie if Isabella Compton being a vampire feels even a fraction of the possessiveness for me that vampire's are pretty famous for, for whatever reason she might have, you'd be signing Katie's death certificate by doing something like that." I speak slowly and calmly so that my words sink into my Twin's thick skull.
"Wha, Noo, you're being prejudiced towards them."
"Sook, I'm not…remember that wolf pup you found and tried to play with, when we were little?" I ask Sookie as she nods her head but I can tell she doesn't quite understand why I'm bringing this up now.
"Do you remember the mama Wolf and how aggressive she was, when she found you playing with her pup?"
"Yeah, but this is a totally different situation!"
"Sookie, it's a very similar situation…to Isabella, let me put it like this I'm the wolf pup, Isabella would be the mama wolf and Isabella would consider Katie you, the invader that might harm or kill her pup…or worse take it…from her…which is something the wolf IE Isabella will do."
"You, you can't possibly know that!" Sookie refuses to believe and I do something I have never done to anyone that hasn't deserved it, I pimp slap Sookie before grabbing her by her throat and pressing her against the car lift.
Sookie looks at me with tears in her eyes, accompanied by a dazed, confused and hurt expression while my fingers grip around her windpipe but don't press forwards against it.
"I do know Sookie, stop being a moronic blonde bimbo, that is easy to manipulate just because you can't hear the thoughts of a walking corpses, VAMPIRES, ARE THE APEX PREDATORS OF THIS WORLD, WE ARE THEIR FUCKING FOOD, FOOD THAT THEY LIKE TO OWN AND FUCK BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY AT THEIR LEISURE FOR THEIR PLEASURE, our consent means nothing to them, our laws mean nothing to them, during my…before my, rehabilitation…Sookie I ran into a nest of vampires…before they came out of the coffin…it wasn't pretty Sook…I've seen them for what they are…they are animals with the vindictiveness and cruelty of humans." I start out speaking calmly but I can see that Sookie isn't acknowledging that I have a greater knowledge of Vampires than her, which infuriates me into shouting at her, before I calm down when it finally clicks in Sookie's eyes.
"Th-they, they're really that dangerous?" Sookie asks me in barely a whisper, making me nod as I remove my hand from her throat, and caress her cheek with my thumb where a bruise is starting to form.
"Even more so…because they know how we think, they can influence our minds…make us ignore our primal instincts towards danger…they were made to keep our population under control Sook…but they are cruel twisted creatures that'll rape and torture us while prolonging our suffering." I murmur and heal the bruising of Sookie's cheek.
"I-is that what happened to you?"
"When you ran into a nest of them?" Sookie asks me back to back and I look away from her and make my body language scream discomfort.
'I know it's wrong to lie to Sookie through omission but…I need her to have a steady dose of realism when it comes to dealing with Vampires.'
"I'm so sorry Jace, I'll never joke about Vampires again and I promise I'll treat the danger they present more seriously from now on." Sook nearly sobs as she tries to break my ribs with a hug.
"Thank you Sook, I just want you to be safe, I'm sorry I hit you." I thank and apologize to Sookie, and place a kiss against Sookie's now healed and flushed cheek.

After Sookie and I had our little pow-wow, Sookie left my place to go to Merlotte's with a much more realistic outlook on Vamps.
I begin working on another custom job, which is on a Ford GT 40, that is a barn find if the customer is to be believed…but I have my doubts, and a sneaking suspicion that not everything about this car is going to match up.
I start coming through the car and find exactly what I was expecting, to find…which is a small and very well hidden tag for GT Developments, a Kit Car brand that is almost eighty-five percent, original parts of the GT 40 and even have permission to replicate the original vehicle from both Ford and Shelby.
Releasing an external and mental sigh, I feel a sense of let down at not being able to work on a genuine GT 40.
"Shouldn't have be surprised…and as far as things go this is probably as close to a genuine article as I'll ever get…I'd love to restore a Cobra…someday." I mutter as I start taking apart the kit car.
'Wasn't I supposed to do something?' I wonder as I start singing along to a FFDP song on the radio, by the time the next song is on I have most of the interior of the car stripped, down to just the floor carpet.
My list of replacement parts needed for just the interior adding up and up, especially with the mouse nests in the seats.
My phone vibrating in my back pocket pulls me out of my zone, answering my phone without looking I'm greeted by a warm sound of greeting, "You look really sexy elbows deep inside of a car." Katie's voice is almost a purr making a small shiver of desire run through me as I stand up and turn to face the bay door of the shop, to find Katie leaning against the track just inside of the shop, a wine red button up blouse, with just enough buttons undone to give me a teasing view of her cleavage and brighter red bra, and a black skirt that conforms to her waist and hips.
A delicious smell hits my nose as I spot the bag in her hands that's labeled with the name Delpino's a very highend and popular steak joint.
And a bottle of something tucked underneath her arm holding the bag of food a playful smirk on her glossy red lips, her beautiful eyes glowing with a mischievous and lustful light in her eyes.
I raise an eyebrow at her, "You brought food and...wine... Miss Shortmire, are you trying to get into my pants? Because if you are...well..." Katie giggles as I trail off and she flips her flip phone shut and slides said phone down her neck in a sensual way.
"Please... don't even pretend to be hard to get with me, I know the way to your heart and into your pants." Katie tease me as she saunters over to me her high heels clicking against the cement floor of my shop.
And I step towards her, rest my hands on her hips annd pick her up off of her feet and begin to spin her around in a circle, while Katie wraps both of her arms around my upper body I catch the bottle of some fancy French labeled wine with telekinesis just before it hits the floor, Katie's soft lips press against mine as giggles flow out of her, the kiss is soft and intimate with a lot of long repressed feelings being carried through the connection.
We both break the kiss our breathing slightly heavy, as we stare into each other's eyes.
"I'm really glad you called me, I've been waiting for an excuse to come see you..." Katie murmurs with a soft smirking smile on her face.
"Yeah... wouldn't want the sheriff coming to pump my ass full of lead...just because his daughter and I like each other." I tease making Katie roll her pretty eyes at me as I set her back down on her feet.
"So...wanna go dig in?" Katie asks me as she motions with the bag of food.
I lick my lips as Katie gives me a naughty look, "Steak first!" I quip back as smack Katie's ass making her let out a surprised sound.
