ok so this is my first attempt of an Eric/OC. i tried to keep him in character as much as possible (this is actually the first one shot of a series but probably like 7th written lol) please give me some constructive comments. i like knowing how to improve and Jessica is probably my favourite OC ive created out of all my stories.

please lemme know what you think!

Slipping my pumps onto my feet I took one more look at myself in the mirror. My dress, black and slick to signify my curves. Taking one less inhale of air to calm my nerves, I stepped out into the hallway; the house was littered with people. Some from the coven and their humans, while others…here to suck up to the sheriff. Well in truth, all were here to suck up to Far. I knew this because I hardly knew the people that didn't live at coven 24/7. Well except my Eric…mental not: never use my when referring to that guy. Walking through the crowds as they nodded their heads or bowed (only to be polite). I searched the house for familiar faces.

Course Isabel and Hugo stood talking to Stan and others, Godric in his favourite chair. Though conveniently placed beside him was a table of useless gifts that, more or less, held no meaning other then to put a good show for the sheriff. Sneaking up beside him, I waited for the last vampire to pay their respects. While waiting I studied the gifts. Each held a nametag from people I was sure I had never seen before. Yes all were here to suck up.

"Child, your mind seems to be in deep thought" his voice was calm, an evil genius.

"Is he coming?" I asked turning quickly from my far with a blush. Damn obviousness.

"I spoke to him, as soon as the sun had set. He has confirmed" he was humouring me now; by not speaking his vampire child's name he was playing my game. Shooting him a glare quickly, I somehow managed to get myself into a staring contest with the eldest vampire possibly in the United States. Funny, how childish far could be when he tried. It took a few minutes for me to realize the entire building had gone silent. Deathly quiet, as if all the vampires in the room were secretly on the hunt for prey. I saw Godric smile as he broke eye contact.

I felt the familiar pulling in my stomach, as if pulling me through the halls. Entering the main hallway, everyone stood silent, spread apart to make a walkway from the door. I knew then that he had arrived. With his stupid handsome face, his smooth voice that made my blush at the slightest word and his attractive asshole attitude. I would give him a piece of my mind. Godric watched as I marched confidently through the makeshift entrance towards the man in question. Holding my chin high I stopped right in his path, hand on my hip and a look of complete annoyance. I knew he could see right through it but we both had appearances to keep up; nothing personal could be shown with these potential enemies.

"You're late" anger edged into every syllable of the words that I spoke. Even if I had to look up to meet his gaze, I would win this battle.

"Yet as you stand in front of me, refusing to let me pass to my actual destination" a jab at the entire situation before us.

"Well…you come to a birthday party. Without a gift for the birthday girl. And here I thought you knew the ways of women's hearts" a smirk appeared on his face as he leaned over, our noses barley touching. If he could breath our breaths would combined as one. I felt my lip quiver, what would happen if I kissed him on the lips right now? He gave a quick genuine smile. He had felt the change of my body instantly. Moving his face closer, his lips brushing against mine as he spoke,

"and what…" making sure his lips were in contact ever so slightly with mine, "if I was the gift?" I knew my knees were weak. I would have fallen if I weren't so immersed in his blue eyes.

"Well then…you can take it back, I already have one of you." With that I moved a few steps back, a personal triumphant smile. "Far is in his chair. Don't ruin my beautiful night tonight" perfect code for 'meet me later outside'. With a wink to signify my meaning, he smiled quickly before heading past me to get to Far. After about half an hour I looked over to where Eric stood kneeling, his voice low while talking to Godric. A smirk on the elder, a frown on the child. Walking up I headed quickly towards Isabel before addressing Far. I knew in an instant they were talking about me, as silence fell over them as I approached.

"I'll be outside, I need air" not bothering to look at the ice blue eyes that were trained on me, I smiled moving towards the door.

Swinging quietly on my tire swing, my heels had been discarded to feel the grass as I looked up at the star lit sky. I couldn't even hear the person approach me until it spoke.

" A young girl shouldn't be out here all alone. Vampires have been known to roam here" came the calm voice as I swung back and forth. I just smiled at the blonde quickly, allowing him to brush some hair from my neck.

"Well I guess you'll just have to protect me" catching the tire quickly in his hands, he turned the swing, so my body faced him directly.

"mmm would you like your present now or later? Though I would say a swing can cause very uncompromising positions, I could make it work if this is your choice" damn his cheeky grin, making me blush the deepest shade of red yet.

"I know you didn't just bring yourself" I pouted at him, giving him the best puppy dog eyes I could come up with. In a flash he had let go of the swing to pull out a box from his track pants pocket.

"Of course not" his voice now sincere, taking the gift from him. Smiling I opened it, a long gold chain rested within it, a cursive diamond 'J' attached to it. Leaning down, I knew he was waiting for a small kiss. Instead of the normal cheek I moved, kissing his lips quickly before pulling away. It wasn't every day you could surprise a vampire, a Viking to boot. Letting him pull me back to meet his lips again, a few seconds later I pulled away, resting my forehead to his.

"You aren't out here to prey on young girls are you?" at this I heard him genuinely laugh for the first time.

My seventeenth birthday was the first for A LOT of things.
