Three months after Godric met the sun pretty much everything had returned to nrmal. Everyone had returned from Dallas. Isabel had taken over as Sheriff and life had been for want of a better word normal for Eric Northman. This was about to change.
Pam opened the doors of Fangtasia for the annual Halloween Party and Sookie and Bill had attended at the request of Eric. Neither wanted to be there but all things happen for a reason.
Standing in the long line of humans queuing around Fangtasia was a small redhead, wearing black trousers, shoes and a red bodice. Kathryn Black had waited in the line at Fangtasia for half an hour before she finally reached the front where a female vampire demanded ID. Kathryn produced an FI standing she was 27, like vampires Kathryn looked younger than she as. Pam waved her through with a sideways look. "Save a dance for me" she said.
Kathryn rolled her eyes hundreds of years on vampires would never realise that the seductive talking didin't work on her and it never had and it was irritating. She strode into Fangtasia and sighed. Godric had told her that his progeny had run a bar in Shreveport, Louisiana, she had expected a winebar not a vampire version of a strip club. How was she meant to find Godric's progeny who she had never met in a strip club. All she knew about Eric was he was blond and tall. Godric had not been one for descriptions. As tempting as it was to walk into the middle of the club and yell "Eric!" when the music paused she decided that this was not the place to yell. Looking around slightly distastefully Kathryn noticed a throne and a tall blond man sitting on it. His attention was completely engaged with two lap dancers. "Great that would be him" thought Katy.
Kathryn turned and walked to the bar. Turning round from buying drinks Sookie Stackehouse very nearly emptyied them onto a red headed woman of about the same size. "Oh Dang" she thought "That's quite alright I'm fine" she heard. Sookie looked up and the girl smiled at her. "You're a telepath" Sookie thought. " I am" replied the girl. "My name is Kathryn Black. I am looking for Eric Northman. Do you know him?" " Yes I know him why are you looking for Eric?" " I knew Godric. Can you point him out for me?" Sookie nodded towards the throne. " Thought so Godric really did know how to pick them. Nice to meet you Sookie" Kathryn smiled and was gone.
Sookie returned to Bill and told him that she had just met another telepath who was looking for Eric and had known Godric. She pointed Kathryn out to Bill who watched her making her way towards Eric. That young lady certainly wasn't going to wait to be invited and Bill smiled slightly she reminded him of another telepath who would not have waited either.
Kathryn made her way to the throne she was not waiting to be invited she would be here forever if she did and it wasn't like Eric could smell her anyway. "Are you Eric" she said. Eric's fangs clicked out angry at the interruption and sheer rudeness of this girl. "I'll take that as a yes" she smiled " We need to have a talk". "Humans should learn their place " he growled. Kathryn stepped towards him smiling. "I am no human but I am a day walker". Taking another step Kathryn made her way towards him. Eric's anger sky rocketed were's were not disrespectful to vampires unless they had a death wish or were on V. This girl didn't look like a were or like she was on blurred towards her off the dais. Kathryn stretch out her hand and Eric was flat on his back before he had even had time to think. Kathryn bent over him "Forgot to mention that my bad". To Kathryn vampires didn't blur fast them moved in slow motion. It hadn't always been that way but Kathryn had practiced a lot with Godric. "Are you ready to talk?". She offered Eric her hand but he refused and picked himself up. "I am a Sheriff and you will learn respect" "Blah Blah Sherriff's are very important yes I know been there done that. Eric made to strike her as a mark of discipline in front of the gathering crowd. She did not cower and Eric swiped the air. Kathryn was not standing infront of him anymore. Eric felt a tap on his shoulder. "Hi" Eric bared his fangs. " Eric " she said "Eric Northman" Kathryn took a deep breath buying her time to recall a language she hadn't spoken for many years. "Jag nöd till tala till du privat omkring Godric ". Eric did not hear Swedish in Shreveport, Louisiana unless he was talking to Pam. Kathryn took advantage of his shock and placed her hand on his shoulder and marched him out of the bar. Eric registered his own language and realised he was in the corridor outside his office. Pinning her up against the wall he growled "Godric är död" She pushed back she was strong not as strong as him but stronger than a human an not prepared to put up with any bullshit. She reminded him of Godric a little who wouldn't have let him get away with anything especially when he was a young vampire. He reached to his left and flung open the door to his office and picked her up and dumped her in the nearest chair. He took his own seat and put his feet on the desk and fingerpads touching raised his eyebrow at her.
Kathryn took a deep breath and put her hands on her hips. "How could you let Godric kill himself? You think that is the first time he tried that tack? I have talked him out of it before. He disappears for 3 months and next thing I feel is the bond between us is broken. " "Godric would never have allowed a human to feed off him" Eric retorted. "I was dying at the time and I doubt that the no humans policy was at the forefront of his mind at the time and for the last time I AM NOT HUMAN. Honestly Godric said you were temperamental but he didn't say you were stupid"
Eric was livid who the hell was this girl? Why was she here? Why had Godric shared his blood? If she wasn't human why was dying? Did Vampire Blood heal non humans? What the hell was she? Out loud he said " We both know he is dead. Why are you you here! I didn't require confirmation of the fact" "I am here because I can feel the bond again and I don't know why but I can" Eric stood up " When did this happen?" "Three days ago I felt the bond again" "I feel nothing". "You are a vampire" Eric hissed this girl was getting on his nerves. She was like an amped up version of Sookie Stackhouse. She offered him her hands "Here let me show you" He took both her hands and elt nothing. Then he felt a warmth, vampires never felt warm, he then felt an essence, a presence, like he was standing in room with his eyes closed and Godric was standing behind him. Opening his eyes he started at Kathryn " How is that possible?" "That's why I am here. I don't think his soul went poof and if he was trapped or restless where would he go. He would go find his child wouldn't he. Duh" "How can you feel him and I can't." Eric was angry, Godric was his maker and he couldn't feel anything, however much he tried. How do you know him anyway? Kathryn smiled.
