Chapter Six:

Bill Compton first laid eyes on Sookie Stackhouse when she walked into his history class at the beginning of the spring term. She took his breath away with her sweet, innocent looks and beautiful smile. Her body was hypnotic with her tan legs, supple breast, and curvaceous ass. When Bill first heard her speak, he was instantly taken with her Louisiana accent and her southern belle charm. His attraction to her was immediate and his obsession with her began to rule is every waking and sleeping thoughts. He knew he would do anything to make her his.

Through thorough investigation, Bill discovered Sookie was a senior and he was determined to have her fall for him. He gave her a hard time in class and graded her papers and assignments unfairly to give him an excuse to ask her to stay after class so he'd have alone time with her. He never saw her with anyone and was grateful that he did not have to eliminate any competition.

Bill was raised by his wealthy family in Bon Temps Louisiana. He came from what some people refer to as 'old money'. The Comptons did various favors for the government before the civil war and the Great State of Louisiana paid the family with land. The land just so happened to be surrounding the city of Baton Rouge. When that land became of worth, the family sold their large share, invested wisely in the stock market and the rest as they say was history.

As a young man Bill had a few indiscretions. Some women had accused him of harassing them and he was arrested. After a few instances he was ordered by a court to have a psychiatric evaluation. Bill was placed in a mental hospital to seek the support and guidance of many psychiatrists, the best money could buy. His parents never believed any of the doctors evaluations, especially when they threw around words like sociopath or danger to society. They were merely convinced that Bill was a little misguided and as he got older he would see the error of his way and become the proper gentleman he was raised to be. So, Bill's parents paid off the appropriate judges and police officers, and had his criminal record wiped clean. They shipped him off to a military school where they hoped the strict rules and discipline would whip him into shape and keep him out of trouble.

As Bill grew older he had learned from the mistakes he had made in his youth. He learned how to con people to help him and get what he wanted. He kept his head down in school, kept out of trouble, and tried to control his dark inner urges. He wanted to avoid being sent back to the hospital or jail at all costs.

Despite his difficulties in school he was able to convince some classmates to help him. Once he graduated from college he moved to Austin to start a new life away from his parent's influence. Since his parents had taken care of his criminal record he had no problem finding a job. Bill applied as a professor at The University of Texas and was accepted.

He was doing well hiding his dark side from everyone, that is until Ms. Stackhouse walked into his class. She was just his type and he knew she was meant to be his. He had to be careful though in his pursuit of Sookie. He'd have to cover his tracks carefully or he could be caught.

For now he focused all of his efforts into luring one to play his little game. He loved playing with victims until he was ready to strike.

Bill tried to use his southern gentleman charms to flirt with her after class but she seemed unfazed by his attempts to gain her attention. This only frustrated him and made him want her more. The school term was almost over so his new plan was to fail her so he could have more time with her. He had no qualms of stooping to that level. This tactic was unethical but it was the least of his worries. Bill could not imagine not having the buxom blonde in his life.

One day when he stopped at the local coffee shop, The Common Ground, for his afternoon fix, he overheard his chance to talk to Sookie out of school. She was in there with two of her friends talking about their plans for spring break. One of her friends had talked so loudly that he heard that they were heading to South Padre Island. He groaned imagining what Sookie would look like in a bikini. He was snapped back to reality when he felt his coffee overflow from pouring too much creamer in it. While he cleaned the mess he heard her other friend tell Sookie about the suite they booked at The Seashore Inn.

'Perfect! Now I know where she's staying.' Bill thought to himself.

He disposed of the napkins he used to clean his mess and made his way out the door. Now just to book a room and wait for his chance to strike. He tried to get a room at the same hotel but there were no vacancies. He was lucky to book a room in a nearby hotel just a block away. He left school on Friday after his last class hoping he would make it there at the same time as Sookie and her friends. He flew out so he could meet her and her friends at their hotel. He checked into his small room, grabbed some lunch then made his way to Sookie's hotel.

He walked into The Seashore Inn and waited in the lobby for Sookie to arrive. It was crowded so she wouldn't be able to see him. A few hours later she entered the hotel with her two friends. He was so excited to see her there but he wanted to wait to make his presence known.

'Don't want her to think I'm stalking her.' He chuckled to himself.

He saw them make their way to the elevator and continued to wait in the lobby to see if they would head out. When they left the elevator half an hour later, in their cover up and beach towels, he stayed back giving them a head start then rose to follow. He continued to watch and follow them as they found a spot on the beach and set their towels out. He found a spot far enough away that he would not be seen. When he saw Sookie had removed her cover up he almost jizzed in his shorts.

'Oh God she's even more beautiful than in my imagination.' He gawked at her.

Bill lowered his sunglasses and laid on his stomach to watch her while trying not to be blatantly obvious. He didn't want anyone to notify the beach patrol of a pervert being on the beach.

He saw her rub lotion onto her skin and wanted to be the one rubbing it on her. He turned his attention to the ocean and looked around to see if anyone had seen him watching her. When he turned back to her he noticed that she was staring at the lifeguard. He seethed as he saw her and her friends giggling and admiring him.

'MINE!' He yelled in his head and gritted his teeth.

He couldn't understand how one woman could ignite such possessive reactions from him. He wanted to possess her and keep her locked away so no one would see her beautiful curves. Those were for his eyes only.

He saw her lay down for a nap and decided to close his eyes for a bit as well. The jet lag was starting to kick in. When he opened his eyes to check on Sookie he saw her walking into the water. She swam around displaying her breasts to everyone.

'How can you she seems like the perfect southern belle at school but here she is flaunting her body for all to see? I will have to remedy that once we start our relationship.' Bill thought to himself.

He was preparing to walk into the water and orchestrate a chance meeting when he saw her flailing. From the corner of his eye he saw the lifeguard Sookie was drooling over earlier run into the surf to rescue her.

'Nooooo!' He shouted internally.

He pulled his body from the towel he was laying on and made his way to where the lifeguard had pulled her out of the water. There was another lifeguard holding people back but he tried to push through the crowd to get closer to his Sookie. When he saw her topless he groaned and instantly turned hard. He accidentally pushed into lady and saw her turn to look down at his crotch. He stepped away from her before she said something.

'Please let her survive. How is she suppose to be mine if she's dead?.' Bill thought as he watched the lifeguard try to revive Sookie.

He heard her cough and expel the water from her lungs.

'I still have a chance.' He smiled while still looking at Sookie.

All he could think about at that moment was having Sookie's naked body beneath him as he had is way with her. Bill saw the lifeguard staring at his Sookie's breasts and started to growl deep in his throat. He had to stop himself from lunging and pulling the blonde lifeguard off of her.

'This looks like it's going to be a bit of a problem. I need to get her attention away from that annoying pretty boy before he steals her from me.' Bill thought with a snarl on his lip.

He watched as the paramedics put Sookie on a stretcher and carried her to the ambulance. He returned to his hotel to shower and plan his attack. He laid in bed and thought that he could make his move tomorrow. Sookie would probably have to stay in the hospital overnight so he'll have to wait for her to be released to do something. As he laid there staring at the ceiling he got an idea. He jumped from his bed, threw on some clothes and headed to his rental car.

'I may not be able to get her attention the regular way so I better have a back up plan.' He grinned thinking of his new plan.

He made his way to the border to make a purchase. If Sookie wouldn't come willingly he could make her come. One way or another she would be his.

Hours later he returned to his room with the package in hand. He couldn't wait to use it to his advantage. All the things he could do. Now it's just the waiting game again. He removed his clothes and laid down to rest. Sookie probably wouldn't be released till later in the afternoon so he had plenty of time to rest. He closed his eyes thinking of Sookie's beautiful round breasts and lowered his hand to slowly stroke himself while thinking of all the things he wanted to do to Sookie. He went to bed with a huge grin on his face.

When he awoke later that afternoon he showered and went back to Sookie's hotel. Sitting in the lobby again waiting for her return. He was reading the paper when someone cleared their throat. Lowering the paper he looked up to the intruder.

"Yes?" Bill asked.

"Are you a resident in this hotel sir?" Inquired the voice.

Bill looked at the name tag with the name Felipe on the intruder's suit jacket.

"No, I'm waiting on a friend." Bill responded.

"Well you seem to have been waiting for quite awhile on your friend. I'm the concierge here, perhaps I can ring their room and inform them that you are here for them? What room are they staying in?" Felipe asked.

"Oh no...that will not be necessary. I will just call them and let them know. Thank you." Bill said as he pulled out his cellphone and acted like he was making a call.

"Please let me know if I can be of assistance." Felipe said as he nodded and walked away.

Felipe waited nearby and watched with suspicion. He saw Bill pull out the phone and act like he was pushing in numbers. He had a funny feeling about this guy. He had seen him in the lobby yesterday waiting as he did today. Something wasn't right and he would keep a close eye on him. He walked away because there was nothing he could do until he had proof. He made his way over to one of the bellhops and pulled him to the side.

"Victor do you see that gentleman sitting over there?" Felipe nodded his head in Bill's direction.

"Yes sir." Victor answered looking in the direction Felipe nodded.

"I want you to let me know if you see him around here again. He's been acting strange sitting here and looking at the door. I want you to keep an eye on him so we can notify the police of anything suspicious. I don't want any of our guests to be hurt." Felipe told him.

"I'll be sure to let you know right away sir." Victor said.

"Thank you Victor." Felipe said then turned to walk away.

Bill knew that the hotel was probably getting suspicious of his waiting in the lobby. He put away his phone and made his way out to his rental car. He'd have to wait in there from now on.

"How long are they going to keep her in there?' Bill was frustrated from the heat in the car.

He smiled when he saw Sookie get out of her friend's car and enter the hotel.

"Finally!" He shouted to no one.

He waited a few more hours and saw Sookie leaving the lobby in a white dress.

'Where is she going dressed like that?' ' Bill seethed.

He followed her friend's car as it made it's way out of the hotel parking lot. When it stopped at a club he knew he was right about bringing his package with him. He'd definitely have a chance to use it tonight.

'Your falling into my web little Sookie. A fly waiting for a spider like me to eat you alive.' Bill chuckled and waited in the car for them to enter.

Bill took out the bottle labeled Rohypnol emptied it into his pocket and made his way to the line. He walked into the club and looked around for Sookie. He spotted her at a table drinking and looking around. He made his way over to the bar ordered a beer and watched her while he waited. He grabbed his beer and made his way to the back of the club to hide in the shadows. When he saw Sookie and her friends walk to the dance floor he knew this was his chance.

Bill reached into his pocket and pulled out three pills and made his way to her table. He looked around to be sure no one was watching him. He didn't want to be caught. He smoothly set his beer down next to her drink and dropped the pills into her cocktail. He waited a minute then picked up his beer and returned to his dark corner booth. He would wait for the pills to take their effect and then he would make his move.

He saw her return to the table and pick up her drink to finish in one swallow. He grinned wickedly knowing it wouldn't take long for it to kick in with the alcohol she was consuming. Bill noticed the lifeguards from the day before walking up to Sookie and her friend's table. He snarled as he thought it may be a bit of a problem to get her away from all the people around her.

'That's it Sookie. Keep drinking and you'll soon be all mine.' Bill grinned as he watched her drink more while she chatted to her friends and the lifeguards.

Sookie returned to the dance floor to dance and he was mesmerized by the way she was moving her body. He ached to run his fingers over all her delicious curves. Bill saw Sookie turn and start to dance for someone. He looked through the crowd to see who had caught her attention. When he saw who it was he slammed his beer down on the table. It was the blonde pretty boy lifeguard.

'Lay a finger on her and your dead.' Bill snarled internally.

He saw Sookie grab a man near her and she started to rub all over him. He almost walked up to them and dragged the man off of her. He was fighting with himself to maintain control. He couldn't start trouble now when he was so close.

Bill heard the next song start and watched Sookie turn to leave the floor.

'Go back to your table and be the good girl I know you are. Forget all about that lifeguard. He will only break your heart. Your mine and you will be with me soon.' Bill thought.

Suddenly he saw Sookie being pulled back. He growled as he saw it was the blonde lifeguard with his hand on her arm. The way Sookie started dancing and grabbing this man had Bill hyperventilating. When the lifeguard started running his hands on her, Bill wanted to break every finger on his hands. He gritted his teeth and continued to watch them dance.

When Bill saw the lifeguard bend Sookie down and kiss her, he jumped out of his seat and knocked his empty beer bottle to the ground. His hands balled up into fists, his nails digging into his palms. He noticed Sookie grab her head and smiled.

'What's wrong Sookie? Not feeling too well?' Bill taunted in his head.

He watched as they walked back to her friends at their table and he saw the lifeguard walk away towards the bar. Sookie had turned to walk to the bathroom alone. He made his way to Sookie and grabbed her arm.

"Sookie you need to come with me." Bill demanded.

"What? Professor Compton?" Sookie asked confused.

"Yes, now come with me now." Bill pulled on her arm trying to lead her away from her friends.

He looked over her shoulder and saw one of her friends approaching her.

"FUCK!" Bill screamed in frustration.

He released Sookie's arm and turned away before her friend saw him.

'So fucking close! You're a slippery one Sookie but I will catch you soon enough.' Bill groaned and hide in the shadows again.

He watched as her friend helped her into the bathroom joined by her other friend shortly. When the first friend ran out he known his chance was gone. He walked out of the club and watched as the lifeguard carried Sookie into her friend's car. He returned to his hotel and punched the wall. He'd be charged with the damage but he didn't care.

Ok so now you know what was wrong with Sookie. A few of you had it all figured out. Unattended drinks are dangerous. Please be sure you all have someone watching your drinks at a club. You never know when someone can slip something in it.
