A/N: My first True Blood fanfic so please be gentle lol.

Chapter 1

Eric Northman sat at his desk in his office going over the paperwork after yet another successful night in his popular vampire club Fangtasia, contemplating recent events in the last few months. He had met the incredibly pretty and intriguing young waitress, Sookie Stackhouse, already attached to Bill Compton, then the queen Sophie-Ann had him sell vampire blood and promptly set him up with the Magister which had put Pam in harms way. The ultimate was when his beloved Maker Godric had chosen to greet the sun and end his own long life, followed by the discovery that it was in fact the Vampire king Russell Edgington had sent his wolves all those years ago to slaughter his family, and revenge had been sweet even after being covered in cement by the idiot Bill Compton.

Pam's entrance into his office, snapped him out of his reverie and caught his full attention. She stood at the foot of his desk and bravely broached the subject about what to do now things had settled. "Are you ever going to visit her or him. I would very much like his rotting remains in a jar after having Ruben try to kill me. We do owe Sookie though, she saved your life as much as I hate to admit that you of all people are in that little human's debt," she asked him with disdain dripping with every word she spoke.

Eric considered her words very carefully for a moment and chose to do the latter and visit Sookie to thank her and see how she was coping in the aftermath of Bill's betrayal. He was barely willing to admit the strength of his feelings for her to himself let alone explain it to her. "I'll go see Sookie quickly before the end of the night and see how she is, don't wait around for me. Go to ground before the sunrise," Eric replied quietly.

Pam nodded and took her leave from his presence and allowed him to get back to his thoughts and consider what he was going to say to Sookie when he saw her. Getting up from behind his desk he walked out of his office and exited the club. Standing in the parking lot he looked up and suddenly felt as light as a feather, flying over the heavy shrubbery which covered the Louisiana countryside.

Settling in front of Sookie's house he took a moment to compose himself and be prepared for the very possible rejection that would happen. After their last meeting he was pretty sure she would send him on his way again. He knocked at the front door and patiently waited for her to answer it. The soft footsteps that hit the ground were the first tell tale signs that she was on her way to the open the front door. The door opened cautiously, and blonde hair appeared from the side of the door and then her pretty face fillled his vision.

Shock filled her face when she saw who was standing there and waited for him to speak his peace.

"Hello Sookie, how have you been?"
