True BloodI

It was a quiet night at merlottes tonight as I served the remaining customers. All of a sudden, I felt sick and ran to the bathroom to throw up. "Are you alright in there Cher?" Sam asked worriedly. Sam was my boss and I wanted to answer him. Eric was going to be so angry at her for not telling him she didn't feel well. She loved Eric so much being a big Viking vampire and all. I knew Sam kept some things like pregnancy tests and pads in the draws for the women that worked there. She took a pregnancy test out of the packet and waited. It flashed with two lines saying congratulations. She cried as she threw it on the ground. She knew it was physically impossible for a vampire to have a baby but something did happen. Now Eric was surely going to kill her. "Ciela, Bill is here and wants to see you." Sam said angrily. "Ok. I'll be out in a minute." She said softly. She heard Sam walk away. She straightened her shirt and opened the door and walked outside. "What took you so long Ciela?" Sam asked eyeing me up and down. "Don't worry about it." I said, scared. "Can I talk to you outside?" Bill asked motioning his hand towards the door, in a gentlemanly manner. Ciela looked back at Sam and he nodded. "Alright…" I said trailing off. We walked out the door to the back of the parking lot. Suddenly Bill lunged at me pinning me up against a tree, his hands wrapped tightly around my neck. I tried to scream but couldn't.

"What are we going to do about Ciela?" Pam asked. Eric sighed and stretched back in his chair. "What do you mean 'do' about her?" he answered slightly agitated. Pam put her arms up in the air and told him to forget it. Suddenly Eric stood up, focused now. "What's wrong is someone messing around in here?" she asked looking around the interior of fangtasia. "No, it's Ciela… she is upset and frightened." Pam laughed. "Aww poor her I don't really care. She can die in a hole for all I care." Eric's fangs came down and he growled at Pam. Pam rolled her eyes and started to walk away. Eric sat back down and stayed focused on the bond to see why she might be scared. A man walked up to Eric and bowed to him. "Please will you be with me tonight?" he was about to kick the man but suddenly something happened. Eric stood up and rushed outside and was gone.

"Bill let go you're going to kill Me." she begged as she couldn't see clearly anymore. "How could you go with him after I did everything for you?" he yelled, tightening his grip on her. "We broke up Bill; this… this isn't your concern." She struggled. She was beginning to go in and out of consciousness. "I'll kill you!" he yelled biting her neck, letting blood flow down her shoulders. She screamed as loud as she could, but it turned out being a squeak. He let go of her throat and grabbed her hair dragging her across the ground then dropped her in the forest nearby. She got up onto her hands and knees. Bill kicked her back and she instantly fell to the ground again. Suddenly in lightning speed she felt Bill sucking the blood from her. "Stop you're draining me." She said weakly, lazily trying to push him away. "Eric…" she mumbled with all her reserved energy. "I hope you suffer slowly and then I will bring you back as a vampire to let you suffer a pain worse than death itself!" he yelled lifting her up and throwing her down on the ground.

Eric was running through the forest trying to keep focused. Someone was hurting her and whoever it was, was going to die. He felt emotions running through the bond like anger, fright, sadness, pain, and almost death. He felt his name being called so he ran as fast as he could. He arrived and caught Ciela before slamming Bill into the parking lot. Eric lent Ciela up against the tree. He noticed she hugged her stomach tightly, maybe she was sick? "BILL!" Eric yelled in his scary overpowering voice. Bill tried to escape but it wasn't going to happen. Eric ran up to him and grabbed him and pushed his body up against a tree by his throat. "Bill! Why did you just attack my bonded?" Bill growled at Eric and Bills fangs came out. "Don't you dare threaten me Bill! I do not respond lightly to threats!" he growled and Bill put back his fangs. "I will not kill you Bill, but if you ever come near her again I will not hesitate to rip off your head!" he yelled and Bill scattered away, then Eric ran back to Ciela. Eric looked at her as she started hyperventilating. He rushed over to her as she clutched her stomach. "What's wrong, lover, what's wrong with your stomach?" he asked putting a hand on her stomach. She turned her head away and started crying. He lifted her chin and kissed her long and passionately. "Eric, I'm late." She said plainly, with Eric looking at her weirdly. "What do you mean you're late you don't even have a..." she stopped him and sat in his lap. "This may be a little hard for you but I'm pregnant Eric." She said sacredly. "Ciela who…." She started to cry and hugged Eric. "Eric you don't understand." She said, more worried than ever. "Yes I do understand. You couldn't have a child with me so you went off and broke our bond." he answered angrily. He pushed her off his lap and stood up. "No Eric, you don't get it. It is your child I don't know how but it is yours." He glared at her angrily holding onto the sides off her arms. "Now you mock me! I should kill you right now!" he yelled squeezing tighter on her arms. Suddenly a bright light blinded both of them as a person walked out of the light. "Hold it big guy; I want you both to relax for a moment." Ciela's godmother Claudine said. Eric stared at her the way vampires stared at most fae and growled. "Now you both remember Niall? Ciela's great grandfather. Well he wanted to give you both a special gift. And that gift is a fae and vampire hybrid baby." She said as Eric face lightened up a bit. "What are we supposed to do? This baby isn't going to be human." Ciela asked patting her stomach. "Well, all we know is that you are about a 1 month through and it is a boy, but this is the difficult part, this baby is going to grow much quicker than usual in the womb and will probably only last 3 months so you will always be tired." Eric stepped closer to Claudine and growled. "Why didn't you tell us before? If you told us this would've never happened!" Eric yelled pointing towards Ciela, coughing up blood. "This is not my problem, vampire, figure this out on your own." And with that Claudine disappeared. Eric ran over to Ciela and lifted her up from the tree. "Ciela I'm so sorry I doubted you. I promise I will never doubt you again." He said rubbing his face on hers. "Eric…" Ciela asked weakly. "What's wrong lover?" he asked in his seductive yet loving tone. "You're hugging me and I'm black and blue all over." She said slowly closing her eyes. "No. Ciela don't pass out on me just yet. Wait until we get to fangtasia." She nodded slowly as he ran off to fangtasia

"Where's Eric?" Asked Ginger curiously. Pam looked at Ginger, as if to tell her take a guess, and Ginger walked away. "We want to talk to your master." A group of men said to Pam. "I don't know where he is, so you can just fuck off." She said in her usually not caring tone. Suddenly the doors of fangtasia opened letting the cool breeze and moons light shine in. Eric stood there holding Ciela bleeding and bruised in his arms, then he quickly ran into his office. He placed Ciela down in his black office chair and she moaned in pain. He bit his wrist and offered it to her. "No Eric… I want to feel human right now." He rummaged through all of his draws for something to help her. He found some bandages and anti-bacterial. He only started keeping these things since he was going out with Ciela. "Ciela this is going to hurt…" Eric said, trying to change her mind to drink his blood. She still insisted she would rather do this. He pulled off her work shirt and shorts leaving her in just her bra and underwear. He growled angrily at how abused her body was. He looked at her biggest cut down from her pelvis to her left knee. "Maybe I should've killed him when I got the chance." She closed her eyes waiting for the pain. "Ciela this is going to be painful if you want to…." She cut him off by putting her hand to his lips. He sighed as he placed the brown liquid to her cut. She screamed out in pain as he held her down. She bit her lip to try to stop her from screaming. Her lip bled and she screamed out in pain again.

Pam watched as Eric busted through the door as everyone in the red interior of fangtasia stared at them. She sighed and walked up to the door and shut it as Eric ran into his office. "Who is that with him?" One lady from the bar said slightly sad. "That is the master's lover. They can't be separated over anything." Pam said disgusted. Suddenly the bar was filled with screams of pain. And everyone looked around the bar. "No need for worry people, now get back to your drinks!" Pam yelled and everyone had eyes back on their own drinks. Then Eric walked out with Ciela in his arms wearing one of his shirts and he sat down on his throne and sat Ciela down on his lap. All of the vampires bowed to him and he nodded. She still didn't get this entire vampire status thing but just went along with it. She started to go to sleep as Eric stroked her hair lovingly. As soon as Eric knew she was in deep sleep (which he could feel through the bond) He lifted her up slowly and placed her down in the throne chair so he could go talk to Pam. "Pam I need to say something." Eric said worriedly. "What?" she asked curiously. "Ciela is pregnant and we have already confirmed that I am the father." He said plainly as Pam had to blink that off. "Alright so what are we going to do" Pam asked, for once in her life feeling sorry for someone as well as happy. "I'm happy for you master. I guess this means I'm having a sibling?" Eric smiled. "It's a boy." Pam jumped up and down then returned to normal. Pam tried to smile but it disappeared. "What's wrong?" Eric asked putting a hand on her shoulder. Pam pointed at a man that was slowly walking up to Ciela, who was still sleeping peacefully. They were going to let it be but he pulled something out of his jacket. Eric looked carefully, it was a knife. Eric ran with vampire speed to get to Ciela. He stopped right in front of the man. "What do you think you are doing?" Eric questioned as calmly as he could. "I'm killing this bitch in the name of Sophie-Anne!" he yelled pushing into Eric and grabbing Ciela's leg. "DO NOT TOUCH HER!" Eric yelled throwing him across the floor. He started laughing as Eric lifted him off the ground. "What's so funny?!" Eric growled. He pointed at Ciela who was squirming in pain as her leg started to singe and bleed on the floor. All the vampires looked at Ciela as Eric threw his hand through the man's chest ripping out his heart, turning him into a blood pile. Ciela opened her eyes and gasped. "Ummm…. Eric…" Ciela said, frightened. Eric turned around and growled. He saw the tears in her eyes, she was about to cry. He raced over to Ciela and picked her up and held her in his arms. "Back off she is, MINE." He told, but no one backed off. He held her closer to himself and she buried her head in his neck. "Give her up, her blood is…So…Sweet." The lady grinned at her. She stretched out her hand towards Ciela but Ciela kicked it away. "Lower life forms shouldn't be protected." A young looking male said. "Neither should you be protected." Eric growled. Ciela sighed as she held her stomach. Suddenly she felt like she was going to be sick. "Eric…" she spoke weakly. "I know." He said. He started to walk her off to the bathroom. "Everyone go home we are closed and don't come back. If you disobey my orders again I will kill each and every one of you." "Yes your majesty!" they all yelled and bowed then disappeared.

Eric put Ciela on the floor as she started to hyperventilate and dry heave. "Ciela are you going to be ok for a minute?" he asked looking at her lovingly. She nodded and he ran out of the bathroom. For some reason Ciela felt like she was being watched and backed up against the corner. She looked around the room nervously; she tried to stand up and find Eric, but couldn't stand. "Hello my dear." She heard a familiar elderly voice. One of the bathroom doors started to open and she just stared at it. A bloodied hand came around the edge then the whole body. It was her grandmother. She looked fearfully at it. "No… your dead this isn't real." She said rocking back and forth. "Oh but it is my dear." She said putting both hands on the sides of Ciela's face. She screamed and faced away but couldn't as whatever it was licking her face.

Eric ran off to his office to make a quick phone call to merlottes. He dialled the number and it rang. "Welcome to merlottes this is Tara speaking, can I help you?" said Ciela's best friend. "Is Sam merlotte available?" Eric asked being impatient. "Hold on one minute is this Eric Northman?" Eric sighed knowing that Tara didn't exactly like him. "Yes, now can I speak to Sam or not?" Eric growled agitated. "What have you done to Ciela..." the phone trailed off then a man spoke. "Hello? This is Sam merlotte speaking." "It's Northman. Ciela isn't going to be working at merlottes anymore so I assume you can find someone else?" he asked. "Ah well yes but can I speak to Ciela?" Eric mumbled to himself. "No she is asleep." He lied then hung up. Suddenly out of nowhere Ciela screamed and Eric was already by her side before she finished screaming.

He looked at the ghostly figure of an elderly woman. He pushed it away from her, and then snapped its neck like a twig. The figure fell to the ground and started to turn into blood. "Are you alright lover?" Eric asked placing his hand on her stomach. She nodded and tried to stand. "Don't lover, I don't want you to stand, and you are too weak." She sighed and Eric lifted her up. "You are living with me now, every single second of your life you will spend with me." He said surely. "But I have to work Eric." She said sadly. "No, not anymore I quit for you." He said and Ciela gasped. "You quit for me? So you called up and told them I wasn't going to work there anymore?" he nodded and she sighed. "I can't be bothered arguing with you." He smiled. "That's what I thought."
