Chapter 17

Sookie yawns walking down the stairs. She was still somewhat asleep but fully woke up when she entered the kitchen at the sight of a pale, grumbling man who was obviously a vampire. From the void in his head cooking breakfast.

"Flies will get in if you don't close your mouth, Sookie," Amber said without turning around.

Sookie closed her mouth not releasing that she had it open still Amber mentioned it.

"Wh-ho?" Sookie asked taking a seat next to Amber.

"Constantin Ford my child and call him Ford he hates his first name," Amber said, taking a sip of her coffee.

Sookie nods before the words 'my child' sank in her mind.

"Wait, did kill his maker too?" she asked.

Amber shook her head.

"He abandoned me because the other person he turned out to be a shifter now turned vampire shifter. That he considered stronger than me," Ford said.

Sookie frowns and Ford continues, "However, I didn't realize that he abandoned me still a few decades later and believed he was taken in which I had to find him."

He moves from the stove with pan in hand containing pancakes that he puts on Sookie's plate.

"I'm sorry," Sookie said and Ford shook his head.

"It's fine because of that I meet her my sister, daughter and mother," Ford said a small smile on his face as those words were filled with pride, adoration, respect and love.

Sookie nodded in understanding feeling the strong meaning behind his words and glanced between them. That the more she looked the more a slight confusing set in her mind because the way Ford spoke its similar to how she remembers Pam talking about Eric.

Which she thought was a vampire thing but Amber wasn't a vampire or was she? Sookie didn't understand so she said, "I don't understand how it can be,"

Amber raised a brow at that and asked, "How can it be what?" and took a bite of a pita bread.

"Well because you are human..."

Amber narrowed her eyes at Sookie, "I honestly need a jar so people will put a dollar every time they say that," she took a bite of pita bread with some Ful Medames on it, "for it to be easier to understand think of it as adoption."

Sookie mouth forms an 'O' and Amber continued by saying, "Just without the paper work."

"I see now. So, to make it official you guys shared blood,"

They both nodded and thought, we share more than just blood.

Sookie smiles eating some pancakes which she found were actually delicious.

She turns to Ford and said, "These are good,"

"Thanks, I learned to cook when Amber almost burned the kitchen down," Ford said with a chuckle and Sookie giggles.

Amber rolled her eyes, "That was when I was teen and it wasn't my fault. I mostly knew how to fight."

Sookie frowns, "You didn't have a childhood?" she asked.

"Well not counting the training I had some fun in Egypt," Amber said.

She's Egyptian? Sookie wonders glancing at her while she ate more of her pancakes noting the different food of what looks to be bread and some kind if paste with toppings of onions, tomato and some parsley?

Almost as if Amber read her mind she said, "This is pita bread and Ful Medames. I'm only part Egyptian from my mother's side and my name is my mother's favorite stone."

"Can you read minds?"

"Nope, just have good eye sight to see the questions written on your face," Amber said, chuckling as Sookie touched her face.

"Ah before I forget," Sookie glances at her, "Eric is coming tonight."

Amber couldn't help the smile on her face as Sookie and Ford groaned in disappointment.

"Why?" Sookie asked.

"Yeah, why. I had enough of him yesterday," Ford said.

Amber finishes her breakfast before she said, "He want to discuss what happened when he went to see Sophie-Ann,"

Ford crossed his arms, "So, the Louisiana Queen is involve in this whole thing about kidnapping fae,"

Sookie's brows knit together, "There have been other kidnapping of fae?" Ford nodded and she quickly added, "you are a vampire, so how is it that you are not burning or even bleeding?"
