I Dream of Sookie
Part One:
Eric's Dream
Eric Northman didn't understand what was happening to him. Had he any feelings, he'd have compared his current state to being in love. Had he remembered what that felt like, he might have handled the situation a little better. Under the circumstances, however, he compared his emotion, or lack thereof, to basic undead lust for a human. At least, that was his initial thinking.
Pam had begun to see what everyone saw in Sookie Stackhouse before anyone else: it wasn't just a craving for the human's blood that kept them coming back. It was her ability to read people's minds, her willingness to keep a secret, the mere sight of her; Eric Northman was just now getting a taste of how others might have felt under Sookie Stackhouse's spell. All he knew was that he couldn't stop thinking about her.
In his dream, she was kissing him, her tongue tracing his in small circles, and his body was reacting in a way that was not uncommon for the vampire: fangs out, breathing shallow, body, wanting…but she would not have him, and that made him crave her all the more.
Sookie didn't know who she was dealing with, he'd thought then, and he pinned her hands down by her wrists, at her sides. His mouth found hers, hard and forceful, but she pulled away. To let her hands go would chance losing her altogether. To hold her still meant that she could pull away.
Eric was infuriated and hungry, and Sookie was enjoying every minute of it.
He let her wrists go and grabbed her head, pulled her mouth back to his, but she pushed herself off of him and giggled in a girlish way that sent shivers down Eric's already cold spine. He growled and moved toward her, something that would have sent even the seasoned undead backing away, but Sookie stood steadfast, her eyes sparkling, her lips wet from his kisses, her eyes testing.
Eric stared at her.
"Come get me," she teased finally, and Eric smiled. Sookie began to sprint away from him, and before he could ensue in the chase, he woke up, aggravated and alone in his darkness.
He stepped into the bar of Fangtasia and found Pam outside.
"What shall we do tonight?" she asked, and Eric smiled.
"Let's go to Merlotte's. I have a taste for a human there."
Pam grimaced. "I see you've met Sookie," she said, and Eric looked at her.
She smiled. "She's not an easy target."
Eric sighed. "I'm up for the chase," he replied coolly, and Pam nodded.
