A small female wolf dashed through a swirling mist of fog, her four paws shuddering and vibrating the ground as they shoved her body through the foliage of the dark barriers of the forest. She weaved through a scatter of mutilated bodies that blocked her path. There was no time to stop and wonder what caused the untimely demise of these people. The young wolf had something way more important to do. She was on a mission. Staggering and reeling from the blistering pain caused by previous unhealed wounds, she forced herself to press onward. The eyes of the wolf differed from those of Grey Wolves that inhabited this country. The eyes were almost human like as they studied the forest, studied their surroundings and the mutilated bodies that could only have been inflicted by that of a wolf.

As she continued, pushing past her exhaustion she could feel the wind bellowing though her large course hair she could feel with her tactile hairs were vibrating with information. Her Pack had dispersed, unsure and afraid of this turn of events that had them running into hiding. The fear swimming around her own body as she pressed on, determining just what had occurred in this forest that was overcome with death. Right now, it was imperative that she reached a conclusion as quickly as she could. The whole well-being of her kind depended on her protection and her ability to gain the relevant information from this murder scene.

New blood trickled down her side from a gash on the side of her stomach where it had recently came into contact with the pommel of a pissed off Werewolf. Rain and dried mud matted her sandy paws, the mud restricting the resistance she had on the ground as her paws shoved her forward. Scrapes and bruises from being whipped by branches itched and burned her body as she had squeezed through small openings through the forest.

The young wolf shook her body to aid her wool hairs to prevent her being pelted by the rain of embers that appeared to be falling from the sky. In dodging the debris, she tripped over a thick twisted root that protruded from the ground. She stumbled, her four legs shoved underneath her as the speed she had been travelling made her skid painfully on the opaque floor. The impact sent a bolt of excruciating pain throughout her body, causing a whine to tremble from her muzzle.

A quick roll of thunder rumbled somewhere over the mountains, like a reminder that she needed to keep moving. She lifted his head and surveyed the sky for a minute, then forced herself to run. She put good distance between her and the cloaked figure that had commanded the wolves to ravish their own kind. Flood had asked for her help. She had given it but they were too late. Her Pack had been ordered into hiding, dispersed until she could understand and get a hold on what was happening.

She had not made it out in time before the cloaked character had spotted her and ordered her demise. Being an Alpha she had the skill and the authority to destroy and defend herself as she maneuvered herself from the deadly sharp-clawed wolves that had come after her.

Every now and then, she would anxiously look behind her, hoping they were not tracing her scent as she localized on the one thing person she knew could help her. A feeling pressed deep into the middle of her body as she called out for her imprinted and her lover.

Off in the distance, as if by magic, she saw the familiar surroundings of the buildings of her neighborhood swam to her eyes. She sprinted towards her home, hearing her claw clicking against the concrete of the path and the road as she observed whether she was being watched.

She shoved her body up towards the decking, her white painted wooden panels shining under the twinkling stars as she pulled her weight onto her back legs, lifting her torso onto the door as she shoved herself inside. Her eyes struggled to get accustomed to the change in light as the wolf looked around; surveying the building she called her home as she trotted through the different rooms.

The wolf shuddered to a stop when a tall figure emerged from the shadows. As her eyes trailed his form recognition flooded to her features as she took in the radiant; blonde and blue eyes, 6ft 4 and broad shouldered man who was frowning with worry at her panicked and wild expression that was shining in her eyes.

"Robyn? What is it?" The tall man said down to the wolf Robyn. He was pulling of the leather jacket that was pressed to his muscled arms revealing his black singlet that was covering her torso. His eyes were surveying her body before the air grew hazy round her, seemed to hum and vibrate with energy, and then the form began to change within that electric concentration. When the haze cleared, Robyn had grown into her human form. Her long wavy brown hair fell to below her bust; her piercing brown eyes searching for Eric's blue ones as she tried to regain some sense of familiarity.

Robyn took the offered jacket and shrugged it over her form, dwarfed by it's size as she limped towards the windows, checking they were locked and no one had followed her from the forest, her instincts were on high alert as her eyes and ears ran into overdrive.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Eric asked again, his voice breaking the eerie silence as his own unease began to shine around his body at the crazed way in how Robyn was acting.

"We were ambushed. Flood and his pack have been destroyed. I ordered mine into hiding; Alcide should have been back by now. Right now, you and Alcide will be needed to protect me"

"If anyone is going to get to you, they will have to get through me" Eric comforted as he took hold of Robyn's shoulders and pulled her around so she was facing him "I will not let anyone touch you. My only desire is to keep you safe," Eric enthused as he looked at her with dark eyes, enforcing everything he was saying.

"Is that your only desire?" Robyn whispered as she took small steps towards him, her eyes clouded with love as she pressed her hands to his stomach lightly, teasing him as she shoved her body further onto his. His strong figure able to hold the pair of them as he raised his hand delicately to her cheek, trailing his fingers in her hair as she teased him

"Not my only desire" He replied in a whisper, his eyes clouding with desire as he took in her form covered with her dressing gown. He felt her hands moving to the top of his jeans, playing with the button as she started slowly moving his zipper "If you keep teasing my Robyn I will take you here, right now"

"Eric, I was almost killed tonight, and your being blackmailed into selling Vampire Blood at the request of your queen, don't deny yourself something you crave" Robyn said gently as she pulled his jeans from his long legs, her fingers brushing against his skin as she positioned her hands under his shirt.

Eric was struggling to compose himself. His instincts were screaming at him and with Robyn teasing him in way she knew affected him he was struggling to pull back the monster that lived in him. He moved his hands to her face, pushing her deeper to his chest, the smell of feminine arousal wafted to his nose as he pressed his lips to hers in a loving kiss.

He reached down for her hand, kissing her fingers as he watched her. The lights were dim, throwing yellow light across the light yellow walls of the kitchen as Eric stepped closer his intensity forcing her backward. Robyn could feel her calves hit the base of the kitchen wall, her shoulders restricting her to move any further away from him as she lifted her eyes and looked at him dead in the eye. It was a mistake because the full intensity of his desire crashed through her like a tidal wave, leaving her wet and so ready for him. And just for an instant, she gave in to that wave and kissed him as fiercely as she wanted him.

It took a whole lot of will to break away, to gain the upper hand, especially as his large hands delicately caressed her bare shoulders, removing the dressing gown from her figure, his touch teasing her, arousing her all the more. She became lost in the moment as a sweet fever flew through her as he began to trail kisses down her neck. When he caught her nipple in his mouth and sucked hard, she gasped and almost collapsed in pleasure.

His teeth where grazing me, teasing her and all the while his desire washed over her with heat and intensity. He worked his way up to her mouth and nipped her lip hard enough to hurt, his fangs rubbing against her skin showing her his arousal. But it was a sweet pain, especially when his tongue immediately caressed the sting away.

Robyn's fingers were straying down his bareback; her legs spreading and she pulled him closer. He pressed himself between her legs, sliding his cock back and forth, teasing, but not entering. A growl came from the back of her throat causing a smile to engulf Eric's features, the tips of his fangs become exposed and with one hard thrust, sheathed himself into her. She groaned in pleasure, her back arching from the wall as she wrapped her legs around his middle.

Eric filled her, stretched her in a way no other man or wolf could, and right then, she wanted every single hard inch of him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, wrapping her legs closer around his hips and pushed him deeper still. He cupped her butt, supporting her as he thrust and thrust and thrust until it felt as if the rigid heat of her was trying to calm his entire body.

Robyn rode him hard, needing it fast and furious and Eric was more than happy to comply. Pleasure spiraled quickly and her climax hit, the convulsions stealing her breath and tearing a strangled sound from her throat. He came a heartbeat later, his body slamming into hers, the force of it echoing through every fiber of her beating and shuddering through the wall behind her.

Once the tremors had subsides, Robyn couldn't help but grin "That was certainly a promising starts, but it was way to fast to be seriously labeled fucking me senseless" His grin was ferocious

"That was little more than taking the edge of our need. I made a promise my dear, and I intend to keep it" He replied before he lifted Robyn off her feet and carried her to her room.

Sookie was determined to get to the bottom of it. Her heart was aching as her mind was fogged with the events of the last 4 hours. Her side was empty, not having Bill standing next to her and the cool metal ring that sat on her figure felt foreign but also so perfect.

She had refused to get changed so the small lilac dress that Bill had brought her was pressed to her figure, floating delicately and daintily to her knees as she shoved open the door to the grey concrete walls of Fangtasia, nothing but determination shining in her eyes as she looked for one person.

The music was blearing into her ears and the looks of disapproval were heading towards her as she headed further into the club. She was stopped almost as soon as she had headed into the building by Pam; Eric's Progeny.

"Now, I don't remember telling you lavender was my favorite colour" Pam said with a smile as she stood behind Sookie. Her leather suit travelled around her neck with a hole pressed to her chest to show her breasts. A red ribbon was wrapped around her neck and under her bust area as leather gloves moved to above her elbows. Her makeup was dark and Smokey as she gave Sookie an aroused smile.

"I'm in no mood for lesbian weirdness tonight, Pam" Sookie breathed with boredom shining on her features as she juttered out her hip as she looked at Pam who was giving her the once over. "Where's Bill?"

"I have no idea"

"Then where's Eric?"

"Where he usually is on his night off"

"Which is"

"Lets just say he's indisposed at the moment"

"He's at Robyn's isn't he" Sookie stated and as Pam simply pushed her lips together Sookie huffed out her lungs and headed back to her car.

Sookie wasn't surprised when Pam had suggested she come along. Her conversations were dull and awkward at the best of times but as Sookie pulled up at Robyn Herveaux's driveway she noticed her car and the dim lights as she pulled on her hand break and shoved herself from the car.

Her heels clicked against the cobbled path and echoed around her and Pam as she reached the decking. She wasn't surprised to see two dead rabbits littering the wall by the door as she knocked.

"Robyn, Eric open up I know you in there!" She shouted as pounded her fist against the door. "I know you have Bill! So get your sorry arse down here!"

Sookie lifted her hand once again and was about to shove her hand to the wood again before Eric opened the door. Sookie had no idea where to look as Eric had messy hair, his chest bare and he was wearing no other clothing. He was standing at the door with no clothes on.

"Sookie" he said with a smile, his voice even and cold as he gave her a small smile "See anything you like?" He chimed again as Pam looked around him as Robyn came into view, her own hair messy while she wrapped her silk dressing gown around her. A piece of material that really didn't help the imagination

"I do" Pam said with a smile as she looked at Robyn who was padding down the stairs

"Of course you do Pam" Robyn replied with a smile as she pressed her warm hands to Eric's bare shoulders and pulled him out of the way, inviting both Sookie and Pam inside.

"I take it Sookie couldn't be stopped" Eric stated again, forcing the conversation his way making Sookie rather uncomfortable as she tried to look elsewhere. Anywhere but at Eric.

"What can I say? She over powered me" Eric simply smiled at her before he turned towards Robyn raising his hand and pressing it to her chin affectionately as he pressed a kiss to her lips

"Were not finished" Eric said is Swedish as his attention was completely on Robyn, aware that Sookie was admiring him

"Oh I know" Robyn said, her own words being Swedish as Eric pressed his arm around his girlfriends waist and looked towards Sookie.

"So, what brings you all the way out here on this freezing winter night?"

"Bill's been kidnapped and I think you did it"

"I didn't" Eric said with a serious look on is features, Sookie completely unaware of the turmoil that was going on in Eric's head as he understood the new information that Sookie had given him. "Any other theories?"

"I'm still on this one, thank you very much. Where were you tonight around 7:00?"

"I was here, with Robyn"

"Doing this? For the last 6 hours?"

"You seem surprised? Is Bill's stamina not up to snuff?" Eric joked as he leant forward, his eyebrows raised as he smirked towards Sookie a little. Robyn couldn't help but snort as she found the whole situation funny. However, from one look from Sookie she shut herself up, pressing her hand to her lips to hide her smile as she coughed a little.

"I'm sorry, that was insensitive of me," She mumbled as she composed her features and looked back towards Sookie.

"Tell me where I can find Lorena" Sookie stated again, pulling her eyes away from Robyn and back to Eric, consciously aware that Pam was still smiling behind her. "If you don't have him, she does?"

"Solid theory, but given the tenor of your last run-in with Miss Krasiki I think it's better if I felt with her"

"How do I know you will?"

"Because if Bill was, in fact, kidnapped, by human or vampire I am duty-bound as sheriff of the area in which he resides to find him"

"And I'll make sure he does" Robyn inputted, knowing that much more was at stake with the new situation Eric found himself in.

"Then do it" Sookie stated before turning away and headed towards the door, her hand on the door handle before she turned back to face Eric and Robyn "Oh and by the way, you owe me 10,000 dollars." Sookie said again before striding from the room with pride.

For the next 15 minutes or so Robyn and Pam were struggling to control Eric. His rage was becoming uncontrollable and even Robyn was struggling to comfort Eric as he paced around her living room, his legs covered by his jogging bottoms and his torso held his red silk dressing gown as he had a Bluetooth device pressed to his ear.

"You remember our conversation?"

"Yes"

"I asked you to do one thing for me. Bring me Bill Compton. And you said, "Done"." Eric said as he paced around, his voice rising as he got angrier and angrier, Robyn was pulling herself to her feet as she went over to Eric. But then she saw the figure of her brother standing in the doorway and she leapt at the chance of letting him in.

"So why wasn't it done, Mr. Rubin?"

"I already told you Sherrif. By the time we got to the restaurant he as gone and there was a cop car…"

Alcide simply side stepped into the room and frowned when he noticed Eric and Pam standing together as Eric spoke over the phone. He gave Robyn and questionable glance and she just closed her eyes and shook her head as she refused to answer his question.

Robyn still tried to see her brother as much as she could, and with him still being in her pack she saw him most of the time. However, as his relationship became serious with Debbie Pelt he had moved in with her a few months ago. But, as she looked at the forlorn and sorrowful look in his eyes, Robyn knew that he was still suffering with her betrayal as she had left him high and dry and few weeks ago.

"You failed me," Eric stated, pulling Robyn from her thoughts as she closed the door. Eric's eyes livid with rage as he pulled his headset from his ear and lifted it too his mouth "How could you fail me!" He bellowed, his voice echoing around the house as the 3 other inhabitants watch him.

"Eric!" Pam calmed as she pressed her arms to her hips, trying to make her maker calm down. Pam just gave Robyn a look of helplessness as she encouraged her to help calm Eric down.

"Find him Mr Rubin, or tomorrow's sunset will be your last" Eric breathed darkly, his chest heaving as he tried to overcome his fury

"Eric, sweetie" Robyn soothed as she pressed her hands to his shoulders before trailing them behind her as she came to stand in front of him, the Viking still ignoring his closest companions

"But sunup is only a few minutes from now"

"Then I recommend you find a day walker you can trust to find him for you." He snapped, his eyes still holding his deadly darkness as he paced away from Robyn and Pam, Alcide only moved into the living room.

"Eric, you need to calm down," Robyn stated again as Pam readjusted her arms as she took in the emotions that Eric was feeling.

"You don't understand the trouble I've gotten myself in"

"I know very well how much shit you have gotten yourself into, you told me. But fuming away like this isn't going to help you think through this situation and find out a way to dig yourself out of the corner" Robyn soothed as she walked over to Eric and pressed her hands to his cheeks, making him look at her, his eyes mellowing as Robyn transferred her love for him.

"What Pam?"

"You're losing it"

"How is that helpful, Pam?"

"You need to call the queen" Robyn voiced having pulled herself away from Eric so he could talk to his Vampire Daughter. Robyn could see that Pam was struggling to compose herself and Pam had asked for her help.

"The queen is the last person I need finding out about this!"

"You're not the only one whose fate hangs in the balance!" Pam argued

"What do you think the queen will do if I tell her I lost the one vampire who could link her to the dealing of vampire blood? And that I have no idea where he is?"

"And what do you think she'll do if she finds out from someone else? Call the queen"

"There are times when I seek your counsel, Pam. Now is not one of those times" Eric responded which caused Pam to argue with him. Robyn simply looked between the two of them before she took hold of Alcide's hand and directed him into the living room.

Robyn was tying her hair up into a bun as Alcide sat down; his hands pressing to his knees as he leant legs took the weight off his torso. When his sister had sorted out her hair he took hold of her hand.

"How you holding? I heard about what happened tonight and came straight over"

"You came all the way from Jackson?"

"Right now, your safety is more important to me"

"To much is going on in my life right now for me to think straight!"

"What happened?"

"We had a distress call from Flood's pack asking for help. He already knows how different my pack is according to the rest of our kind. We went to help, but he was already dead. I ordered our pack to disband, to take refuge in the safe house. I only just managed to get out alive."

"Any idea who is was?"

"They were savages, wolves were dismembered and half eaten. I had seen a hooded figure, but I have no idea which pack it could be"

"Could it be Cooter?"

"I'm not sure, but the strength of these wolves was radiating from the place. They must have all been higher on V. One I could smell it and I have had a fair amount of Eric's blood to tell when someone is high"

"Did Eric help?"

"Not exactly, but he knew something was wrong and he was about to leave when I turned up back home. Eric helps me more in ways than he knows. Just having him next to me is enough to help me. His protection is something I'm going to need which is why I also want you to stay here for a while. You can't stay in that large house all by yourself, and besides it must bring back to many memories"

"It's the last place I had with her I don't want to sell it"

"You don't have to but right now your Alpha needs you. Your sister needs you" Robyn enthused as she squeezed his hand for comfort, he just pulled her in a comforting hug before Eric yelled at Pam again and caused the pair of them to look at the Vampires.

"What's his problem?"

"Another problem that I need helping out"

"Robyn, with everything that is going on don't you think you should take a step back from Vampire problems"

"Eric needs me just as much as I need him. And besides, the problem he has gotten himself into isn't his fault. His Queen is causing him some problems and he can't get out of it."

"Then what's he going to do about it?"

"I have no idea" Robyn stated before she looked from her brother and then back towards Eric as her heart dropped in her chest as she realized that the pair of them were knee deep in shit once again.
