CHALLENGE 45: HALLOWEEN TRICK OUT, Team Fire (10)
Title: Without A Queen
Fandom: True Blood(Bill/Sookie)
Team: Fire
Table Prompt: King
Rating/Warnings: T
Summary: Bill has what he needed but not what he wanted.
After it was all over and everyone had congratulated him on becoming the King of Louisiana, Bill poured himself a glass of brandy and walked out onto the front porch. A sad sigh escaped him as he looked up at the sky above him.
He had fought long and hard to become something better, to be able to protect Sooke was all he had ever wanted. But he had become king way too late. She no longer wanted his protection, she no longer wanted him.
What good was being the King if he no longer had his Queen beside him?
Title: Phantom Pain
Fandom: True Blood(Bill/Sookie)
Team: Fire
Table Prompt: Phantom
Rating/Warnings: T
Summary: The pain of letting go lasts for a very long time.
They say when you lose a limb that you still feel pain from it even though it is no longer there. That’s exactly what she was feeling now. It didn’t matter that she had been the one to end it. She had kicked Bill out of her life. No matter how hard she tried she couldn’t forget. She would wake drenched with sweat, tears streaming down her face and screaming his name. Months later and she could still feel the pain from that moment. Not the pain of betrayal she thought she should feel but the pain of losing Bill.
Title: Déjà vu
Fandom: True Blood(Bill/Sookie)
Team: Fire
Table Prompt: Moon
Rating/Warnings: T
Summary: Bill pops the question once again.
The moon shone brightly overhead as she waited for him. She was beginning to worry because he was late. And Bill Compton was never late.
She turned her head at the soft sound behind her. “I was beginning to think you weren’t coming tonight. What took you so long?”
As he pulled her body tight against him, he placed a lingering kiss on the top of her head. “I wanted to bring you this.” The diamond ring glistened in the moonlight as he held his hand in front of her. “Sookie, will you...”
This time she didn’t even hesitate. “Yes.”
Title: Always
Fandom: True Blood(Bill/Sookie)
Team: Fire
Table Prompt: Apparition
Rating/Warnings: T
Summary: Bill will always be there for her.
Sookie’s eyes widened as she stared in horror at the apparition in front of her. The first thing that came to her mind was to scream for Bill. She wanted him there. He would protect her, save her. But then it dawned on her. Bill wasn’t hers any longer. Why should he help her now?
The door closed with a bang as Bill sprinted up the stairs. “Sookie!”
“Bill!” A look of pure joy spread across her face. “You really came.” She whispered as he ran into the room and enveloped her in the circle of his arms.
“Always, Sookie.”
Title: Darkness
Fandom: True Blood(Bill/Sookie)
Team: Fire
Table Prompt: Darkness
Rating/Warnings: T
Summary: There is darkness inside of him.
No matter how hard he tried to fight it or even deny it he had to admit that there was a darkness in him. Something so dark he was afraid if it ever got loose it could destroy everything he held most dear. But it didn’t worry him as long as he had Sookie. She was the one thing in his whole existence that kept the darkness at bay.
Stuck in his cubbyhole underneath the floorboards of his house Bill waited impatiently for the sun to set low in the sky so that he could once again be with her.
Title: Hope For More
Fandom: True Blood(Bill/Sookie)
Team: Fire
Table Prompt: Mysterious
Rating/Warnings: T
Summary: Sookie wants more.
A soft smile played around the corners of her mouth as she walked over to his table to take his order.
Sookie opened her mouth to speak and was immediately struck speechless by him. She knew she shouldn’t stare but she couldn’t help it. She had never seen anyone quite like him. There was something about him, something mysterious that called to her.
As she listened to his husky voice and stared into his deep, blue eyes, eyes that seemed to see into her very soul, she couldn’t help but hope that they would be destined to be something more.
Title: Playful
Fandom: True Blood(Bill/Sookie)
Team: Fire
Table Prompt: Headstone
Rating/Warnings: T
Summary: Sookie wants to play.
Bill leaned nonchalantly, he hoped, against the headstone and watched as she walked towards him. From the teasing smile on her face he knew she was in a playful mood.
The soft breeze tossed her hair around her shoulders and into her face, passion flared in his eyes as she tossed her hair back, her tongue darted out to wet her lips and he quickly shoved his hands into his pockets to keep from reaching for her.
Her lips curled into a welcoming smile, as he stood straight. Without a word she walked into the loving circle of his arms.
Title: Only At Night
Fandom: True Blood(Bill/Sookie)
Team: Fire
Table Prompt: night
Rating/Warnings: T
Summary: Sookie wants to see him again.
“When can I see you again?” Sookie ducked her head shyly as the question slipped out of her mouth before she could recall it. She couldn’t believe she was being this forward. She should know better. They had only just met, she was supposed to wait for him to ask her but she couldn’t wait to see him again.
The night was his time; it had been this way for well over a hundred years. He hadn’t begrudged that fact for a long time... until now.
Bill took a step closer. “How about tomorrow night?”
She nodded her head eagerly.
Title: Always Come Back
Fandom: True Blood(Bill/Sookie)
Team: Fire
Table Prompt: Light
Rating/Warnings: T
Summary: She can't stay away.
Light so beautiful and bright shone all around her, tempting her with its warmth.
“Stay here with us, Sookie.” The fairy urged as she darted around her.
Sookie couldn’t deny she was tempted but she knew better. “I can’t stay.”
“Why not?”
She jumped at the anger barely hidden in the fairy’s tone. “Because I have people back home who care about me and I them.”
“The vampire? You would go back to him?”
Sookie straightened her spine as she glared at the fairy in front of her. “His name is Bill. And I will always go back to him.”
Title: His Eyes
Fandom: True Blood(Bill/Sookie)
Team: Fire
Table Prompt: Unnerving
Rating/Warnings: T
Summary: Bill keeps watching Sookie. Arlene doesn't like it.
“How can you stand it?” Arlene tossed over her shoulder as she continued to stare at the vampire seated at Sookie’s table.
Sookie turned to look at her friend. “Stand what?”
“The way he is always staring at you. It’s almost as if he can’t take his eyes off of you. It looks to me as if he wants to gobble you up.”
A smile curled her lips. “You really think so?”
Arlene’s mouth popped open in shock. “How can you ask that? Isn’t it unnerving?”
Sookie quickly shook her head. “Bill is a lot of things but never that.”
