A/N:

So this is my new story. I just started it and I'm not exactly sure where I'm going with it but it will be a dark and violent story. I really like the darker stories on here, so I decided to try one of my own. So just let me know what you think about it! Please! :)

Summary:

Hannah believes everyone is equal so when vampires made themselves known she was first to support them. But after arriving in Shreveport for work shes violently abducted and attacked by Vampires. The AVL steps in to save her but Hannah thinks of Vampires as nothing but monsters now and Eric isn't helping to change her mind. Now being in debt to him, since he did save her life, he decides to use Hannah to his full advantage.

Hannah waited as the press conference was coming to an end. She had recorded the entire thing on the tape recorder she had been given from work. She finally pressed the stop button and placed the recorder back into her purse. She stood towards the back of the room as Humans and Vampires walked over to thank and greet Bill Compton. Hannah watched with a smile on her face.

She was fascinated with Bill Compton. She wasn't sure exactly what it was but he just seemed so different than the typical Vampires, or the way some public outlets showed Vampires to be. Hannah didn't see them as threats at all actually. She had grown up in New York mixed with dozens of cultures and people. She had learned a young age to accept people for whatever they were.

When Vampires made themselves known to the public Hannah was one of the first people to march with them for their rights. Since then she'd done all she could to help them, which landed her in Louisana. After what happened with Russell Edgington the United States was focused on how different the Vampires of Louisiana were different than any other city. Hannah living here for the last few weeks proved that they were entirely different.

Hannah stepped outside the building and saw the limo waiting. She knew it had to belong to Bill Compton. She leaned against it as she waited for him to step out the building. He finally appeared outside. He moved closer to her. "Can I help you young lady?" He asked in his polite southern accent.

Hannah smiled. "Hi, Mister Compton. Im Hannah Baxter. Im a writer for the H-V international paper. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about the recent rise in Vampire hate crimes in Bon Temps." She said excited she finally found someone worth interviewing after her time being here.

"The H-V international?" He asked.

"The human vampire international newspaper." She clarified.

"Oh, yes. You guys are ones who first started the campaign for integrating vampire history into teaching in grammar schools. Am I correct?" He asked.

Hannah smiled. "Yes, you are correct. That was actually my idea." She admitted to him. "I'm going to be Louisiana for another few weeks or so and I would love to get a chance to interview you and a few of the sheriff's of Louisiana." Hannah explained to him. Bill seemed to freeze in his spot for a moment. Hannah realized what she said. "Oh and don't worry. The newspaper won't print anything about the Vampire structure of power. We are fully aware how you guys like your privacy and we have no intentions of putting out information that would harm the public opinion of Vampires." She said quickly.

"Well that last sentence seemed reheared, Miss Baxter." Bill said pressing his lips together.

"Well it was." Hannah said and Billy laughed softly. "Honestly, we just want to talk with you guys. I'm sure you can understand how important it would be to speak with you since Russell Edgington." Hannah told him simply.

"You do know that Russell Edgington was from Mississippi, right?" Bill asked.

"Yeah, I know but what he did was in Shreveport. Shreveport has more known Vampires than any other city in the Unites States as well as having the most Vampire hate crimes and Anti-Vampire groups." Hannah explained to him. "As well as having Fangtasia, which is the most popular Vampire bar in almost the entire world."

Bill nodded. "Well, I'm glad to see you have done your research." He seemed impressed. "And I wasn't entirely aware of all of that." He admitted. "Unfortunately, I'm busy for the next few nights Miss Baxter but I think I have someone you would enjoy speaking to more." He said as a smile appeared on his face. "Eric Northman, who is the owner of Fangtasia as well as a Sheriff, would be the perfect person for you to speak with." He told her.

"Really?" Hannah asked excitedly. "That would be amazing. I would be so grateful for that opportunity." Hannah said. Bill told her he'd call her the next night after he arranged for the interview when he talked to Eric about it. Hannah left feeling more happy than she had in a while. She decided to stop and get food before returning to the hotel she'd been living at.

She stepped into Merlotte's and saw it was full of people. She walked up to the bar and ordered a beer. She sat on the stool and was looking around at people. She pulled out her pad of paper in her purse and began writing. She wasn't writing anything specific but just about the general atomosphere. She wasn't sure how the article she was writing would go but she needed to remember all the details she could.

The bar tender stood in front of her as she placed the beer on the counter. "What are you writing?" She asked eyeing her suspiciously.

"Nothing specific." Hannah said feeling uneasy that she was watching her now. "I'm a columnists for a newspaper." Hannah shut her pad as their eyes met. "I'm Hannah Baxter." She introduced herself trying to sound friendly.

Hannah had spent a decent amount of time in the South to know most towns didn't like new comers in their area. They weren't friendly and they weren't welcoming at all. "I'm Tara. What newspaper you writin' for?" She asked.

"The H-V international." Hannah answered.

"I've never heard of it." Tara shrugged. "Well, good luck I guess." She said walking towards someone who had just sat on the other side of the bar.

Hannah looked around. She spotted a red-headed Vampire sitting with a human. He had fang marks on his neck. She watched them for a few more minutes. They were laughing and talking to one another. They touched each other while smiling and even kissed when they thought no one was looking. Hannah decided they were the kind of people she could interview.

She walked over to their table. "Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude and interrupt but I just noticed you guys when I was sitting at the counter." She said motioning to it. "My name is Hannah Baxter. I'm a columnists for a Vampire newspaper and I would to interview both of you." She said looking between them. "If that wouldn't be a problem of course." She added quickly.

"What do you want us to talk about?" The Vampire asked.

"Just your relationship and how your friends or family have reacted to it." She explained as she dug through her purse. "This is my card and my cell phone number is on it." She handed one to each of them. "You guys can think it over and decide but I think it'd be good for you to meet with me." She said smiling at them.

"We'll think about it." Said the guy who was keeping his eyes on the card Hannah handed to him.

"Okay. Great." Hannah said unsure. "It was nice to meet you both." She said before returning to her seat.

The next night Hannah was excited to find a message from Bill on her voice mail instructing her on what time to meet Eric Northman at Fangtasia. She stepped out the shower of the hotel bathroom. She spent a longer time than usual going through her clothes to figure out the perfect outfit to wear. She knew Fangtasia was a Vampire bar but she wasn't sure exactly what was considered normal to wear there.

She settled on wearing a loosely fitted silver glittery tank with a tight fitting short black skirt. She wasn't used to wearing short skirts except on special occasions and she figured tonight was a good time to wear it. She added dark red heels as she continued to examine herself. She decided on leaving her brown curly down so he neck wasn't exposed. Hannah thought of Vampires as equals but she wasn't stupid. She wasn't going to expose herself in a way that made her look like Vampire bait.

She finally left the hotel and drove her rental car to Fangtasia. She saw the long line of people and considered waiting in it but then decided she could probably skip it. She didn't want to stand outside in the hot night. She walked up to the woman standing at the door. She was in a tight leather dress with bright pink lipstick on. "How can I help you tonight?" The vampire asked.

"Hi, I'm Hannah Baxter." Hannah smiled at her. "I'm here to speak with Eric Northman. Bill Compton sent me." She explained.

"Oh, the reporter?" She asked pressing her lips together firmly. Hannah nodded. "Well, well. You aren't exactly what we were expecting but you do look mighty delicious." She stepped away from the door. "Have fun inside, sweet thing." She said as Hannah walked past.
