Part 1
Eric arrived to late to stop Sookie from entering the white light, he knew he would never see her again and his undead heart wept. Sookie was naive in thinking that her faerie kin had her best interests at heart. Even Eric could admit that he didn't always have her best interests at heart but one thing always stayed in front of everything else, her safety. All he wanted to do was protect this woman, keep her safe and alive. It struck Eric as odd that he would feel such things for a human, well half human anyway. He had given up his humanity along time ago. The only things that mattered were Godric, Pam and business. With Godric gone that left Pam and business, right?
Eric walked into the clearing at the exact spot that Sookie disappeared, closed his eyes and wished the woman he loved back. Yes, Eric was in love with Sookie and he knew it, he just didn't want to admit it. No one had ever captured his heart not even his human wife Audi like Sookie had. The little firecracker challenged him and made him want to be a better vampire and fight for the things that he believed in but now, well now she was gone and so was his reason to exist.
Eric dropped to his knees and for the first time in along time he prayed. Prayed to Freya, to God, to whoever would listen to his desperate pleas to keep Sookie safe. Bright red tear drops fell down Eric's cheeks as he prayed.
"Viking what are you doing here? Why are you weeping like a woman, have you lost your mind?" asked Sophie Ann the Queen of Louisiana and now Mississippi. Eric looked up at the red haired vampire and hissed. It was all her fault, the stupid greedy bitch.
"This is your fault you cold bitch" Eric spat at his Queen.
"What is? Watch your tongue Eric, I'm your Queen" Sophie Ann smirked all confident and arrogance.
"You are pathetic and spineless and I will not bow down to you. You're a spoiled child who should never have been Queen. I don't care what happens to me but you my Queen, you will die your true death tonight. I here by sentence you to the true death, an eye for an eye as they say" Eric hissed as he got to his feet.
Sophie Ann took a step back truly afraid of the vampire in front of her. Eric seems to have lost his mind and a thousand year old vampire off his rocker is not a good thing. Sophie Ann prepared to run but out of the corner of her eye she saw a stake come flying through the air, aimed at Eric's heart and she smiled She also caught a glimpse of Bill before he was gone. Before the stake hit it's mark there was a blinding white light and then a beautiful woman appeared. Sophie Ann licked her lips temporarily forgetting about Eric as she took in the delicious morsel in front of her. The woman flicked her wrist and then Sophie Ann was gone. Eric stepped back and stared at the woman before him.
"Do not be afraid Eric I will not hurt you. I have been watching you for awhile now and I have to say you are truly a warrior worth his salt. You have a big heart. I know you did everything in your power to try and keep Sookie safe. My name is Katarina but you may call me Kat. I'm a watcher and I watch your world and make sure that destinies are followed and that light always prevails over darkness. There is light in you Eric, I have seen it but I'm afraid right now you've lost it but don't worry you'll find it again, trust me" Kat said with a smile.
Eric didn't know what to think. He didn't sense any danger from this creature. She wasn't human or anything he had ever encountered before. He inclined his head as a show of respect and waited.
"I'm going to offer you a gift Eric, you have earned it. I will give you one wish that will be fulfilled immediately. Anything your heart desires, anything" Kat said and waited the reply.
"Anything?" Eric asked numbly.
"Yes" Kat agreed. Without hesitation Eric said.
"I wish that Hadley had never met any vampires, especially Sophie Ann Lacquer"
"Granted and Eric, you chose well" Kat said and with a wink disappeared. Eric thought for a moment that it was a joke until everything went black. His last thoughts were of Sookie. The watcher was excited. Now let the game begin.
