"No I refuse!" I hiss jumping up and backing away from the table.
"You can't Faith and you know that you can't. You are to go to Shreveport and give yourself to him." A kind female voice states.
"Sophie please I beg you don't make me do this. I'll do anything you want just not this." I beg.
"I'm sorry Faye I can't I may be the Queen of this territory but this order came from higher up then me. You are to be his and there's nothing that I can do." She whimpers.
"Sophie can't you bond me to you?" I question.
"Sweetie I wish I could but....I can't. Look Faye, I do know this he can't harm you. He has to take care of you. So if he gets out of hand and either really badly hurts you or tries to force himself you call me and tell them you're my Faye alright?" she asks as she comes to stand in front of me.
"Thank you my friend you really have done more for me then I could have ever asked for. I will keep in touch with you Sophie I don't care what he says he can't deny me the right to talk to my Queen." I smile as I hug her.
"You have been a better friend then most I've met in my life. Others do not like to play my games but you played right along with me. I will miss you something fierce, don't let that pig headed Viking bully you sweet heart stand your ground with him." She whispers in my ear as she holds me tight.
"I won't honey that is a promise. Well I guess if I want to make it there before sun up I best leave now. I'll call when I arrive there...better yet I'll call your personal phone that way I don't have to wait for the guards...haha." I smile nodding her head she pulls back and smiles.
"Good luck my sweet sweet human." She sighs nodding I turn and take off running.
"Damn this fucking sucks! I'm going to miss that girl!" Sophie sighs as she sits back down right then her phone rings.
"I know she did not get there that fast. I mean she's fast but not THAT fast!" She laughs sadly as she picks up her phone
"Is my girl on her way to me?" a deep rich male voice demands.
"One don't take that tone with me Viking you may have squirmed your way into his back pocket but DO NOT TAKE THAT TONE WITH ME! Two you might have pried her from me but she is not yours...hell she lived with me and she wasn't even mine! And three sadly enough she is, she should be there in about an hour an hour and a half tops. Know this Northman she will never give in to you, the only reason you were able to get her from me is because you kissed the higher ups ass! She may let you feed from her but you'll never have the prize that lay between her legs!" Sophie hisses as she slams the small cell phone shut, blood red tears running down her beautiful pale face.
An hour later I arrive in Shreveport twelve minutes later I stand outside of Fangtasia. With a sigh I walk toward the front door noticing the crowd I sigh and walk pass them. Standing at the door is a medium tall blond woman wearing black leather.
"Faith Nocturnis here for Eric Northman," I sigh, looking at her face I see a smile slowly showing itself.
"Go right in Faith, he's sitting on his 'throne' can't miss it. Make eye contact with him then sit at the bar and wait for him." She states motioning me inside. Inside I look around and let out a depressing sigh already missing Sophie's huge house and her taste in night clubs. Looking to my right I see the bar, as I turn my head to the left I see the throne the women at the door was talking about. As I stop walking I stare at the 6'4" tall broad shoulder man, his shoulder length blonde hair hanging around his pale face.
"Great I get to stand here and wait for him to meet my gaze and he's fucking text messaging someone" my thoughts hiss. Turning my head back to the bar I let out a sad little sigh when suddenly I feel a pair of eyes on me. Looking back at the throne I meet the Viking's deep blue eyes, as he nods to me I reluctantly nod back and move to the bar.
"What will it be?" the bartender asks.
"A double Black Rose please." I state as I take my cell out. Nodding he moves away and mixes the drink for me. With a small smile on my lips I press the speed dial button and wait for an answer.
"Faye I take it you made it there alright?" she smiles.
"Yeah I did sadly enough; I'm sitting in Fangtasia fixing to drink a double Black Rose waiting on him." I sigh.
"Damn him I swear! He called here shortly after you left here. Faye...sweetie watch yourself all he wants from you is sex and blood. Don't let him get your prize Faye; you saved it all these years don't let him take it from you. You remember what you told me?" Sophie asks as the bartender sets my drink down, nodding at him I slide it over to me.
"Yeah I do I told you that my prize as you call it was saved for my soul mate and that I wouldn't give anyone but him it. Trust me he won't be getting that." I smile as I remember that conversation.
"I have to jump off sweet heart need to feed and get ready for bed. Talk to you tomorrow Faye." She laughs.
"Alright talk to you tomorrow Sophie, have a good meal and a good rest." I smile hanging up the phone. Picking up the drink I slam it back and down it in one gulp and place the glass back on the bar top.
"Women that knows how to drink.... nice." A deep voice purrs behind me.
"I take it you're my new 'master'?" I snap not looking at him.
"A woman that knows how to drink and with fight...I like it!" He purrs in my ear as he leans closer to me. Placing a hand on the bar top on either side of me he leans forward pressing his chest to my back. With a small smile presses his lips against my neck and begins to kiss his way down to my pulse point.
"Ummm... you smell...exquisite no wonder Sophie-Ann didn't want to hand you over. What's your blood type?" he whispers in my ear.
"AB neg," I hiss softly.
"Umm quite rare, you truly are a prize." He laughs in as he continues to nuzzle my neck. Right then the bartender walks over to us. With a slight growl Eric places one arm around my waist while he continues to lean on the other.
"What?" Eric snaps at him, looking up at the other vampire Eric flashes his fangs. Bowing his head the bartender walks off. Righting himself Eric pulls me to my feet and grabs my wrist. As he starts walking he pulls me behind him and into his office. Once the door is shut he pushes me back against the wall and leans forward once again nuzzling my neck.
"From now on I'm your master; you will do as I say when I say it and how I say it. Is that clear?" he states as he takes my earlobe in his mouth and bites down gently. Closing my eyes I calm my heart beat before he can hear it.
"Yes Master," I sigh as I bare my neck for him.
"Good little pet," he laughs.
