Sookie and Bill
Sookie finds herself in the first spot of trouble after meeting Bon Temps newest resident, Bill Compton. He is a newly revealed vampire and as such is meeting mixed reactions. Some people are curious about them while other are repulsed or down right outraged. Sookie happens to be in the first category, however if she knew what were to come she might have chosen the latter.
Apparently, vampire blood has a unique effect on human beings; this effect is unpredictable at best and highly addictive. Not long after meeting Bill, Sookie senses danger from local white trash the Rattrays. They have every intention of trapping the vampire and draining him dry, not only to feed their own habit but also to sell to other V addicts.
Vampires are very strong and quick but helpless when silver is involved. A tiny string of silver chain can hold the oldest vampire nearly immobile. Before Bill knows it, the Rattrays have him held and are beginning to drain his blood behind the bar Sookie works at, Merlottes. She springs to action to save this interesting creature she has just met and gets beat soundly for her trouble!
