A/N:

Hello everyone! I'm glad people are reading this. Here is the sequel that was requested and I'm happy to be writing it! I hope you enjoy this story as much as the last one, or even more!

I haven't really decided if I plan on following close to the season or just using certain parts and then writing the rest as it would fit best for me. So let me know if you think I should follow closely to season 4 or not follow it competely. It will drastically change the story because I have two VERY different ideas in mind already.

So review with your thoughts.

Summary:

Emma spent two years without Eric and she finally worked up the nerve to visit him after being sent to Louisana for Witch business, again. But when Emma arrives she finds Eric to not be the Eric she once fell in love with. Can Emma help Eric get his memory back even if that means turning against her own kind? Starts during S4E3 Eric/OC

It had been two long years since Emma last saw Eric in the rear-view mirror of that car. She watched him stand there in the dark as she drove away from him. Every part of her body at that moment was telling her to stay there and not to leave him. She loved him and she should be with him because she deserved to be happy but she didn't stay. She couldn't stay.

Shes a Witch and she owed it to her witches to protect them. Despite all the horrible things she had gone through because of them, she still felt the need to protect them. There was no one else to keep them safe so she did.

She returned home and everything dealing with Eric was pushed from her mind.

Emma heard things about Eric through other supernaturals she occasionally ran into but nothing that she could prove. She heard Eric and Bill killed the Magister. She heard Bill was working closely with Nan Flanagan, much to Eric's disliking. She heard Eric was involved with Sookie. She heard Eric had killed Russell Eddington after he slaughtered the anchor man on the news. She heard Eric spent a year searching for Sookie because she went missing suddenly.

A part of Emma, bigger than she would admit, was jealous whenever she heard about Eric and Sookie but she didn't know what was true or what was fake. So she just ignored it.

She had never moved on from Eric. Not the way she knew she should. She had gone out on countless dates with Witches set up by Ethan, who was like her father, but nothing every stuck. Emma always found some problem with them. They talked too much, they dressed too childish, they smelled strange, or any other reason she could find. The real reason Emma despised them was simple, they weren't Eric Northman, the Vampire she loved more than anything. She decided it was better to just be alone.

Emma was sitting at the pound with Lily while she practiced her magic. Emma laughed as Lily finally got the spell she was working on perfectly. "You're getting a lot better." Emma told her smiling widely at the brown haired girl. Lily had been learning directly from Emma since Emma returned back home.

"I've been practicing for so long." Lily said smiling back at her.

Emma was impressed by her. She seemed to be advanced for age. "Well how about-" Emma stopped speaking as she suddenly felt a swelling in her heart. She felt a tingling in her body. She froze in her spot as she looked around.

All the witches outside the house were frozen in their spots. A big gust of wind was blowing through the whole area. The trees were shaking and sun seemed to fade from the sky completely. A darkness took over the land and everything was silent.

Emma looked into the woods and she saw a small, pale, dark haired creature. She went to take a step closer to it but it disappeared instantly. Then everything seemed to return to normal within seconds. The clouds opened back up and the sun was shining. The wind had calmed into a soft breeze and everyone was talking. The kids went back to playing and the adults went back to magic.

Emma shook her head as Eric's face suddenly appeared in her thoughts. She felt a smile pull at her lips. She saw his face, his smirk, his icy eyes, and his cold lips. She saw everything that she missed about him.

"Emma, can I ask you a question?" Lily's voice pulled her away from the image in her mind.

"What is it?" Emma asked smiling at her.

"Are there still bad witches in the world?" She asked curiously.

"Yes, there are." Emma answered knowing there was no reason to lie to her.

"Just like there are bad werewolves, vampires, and humans. Right?" She asked and Emma nodded. "But Mister Northman wasn't bad, right?" She asked.

Emma smiled again. "No. He was a good Vampire." She answered unsure why Lily was interested in him suddenly. "Why are you asking about him?"

Lily shrugged as she stood up from her spot. "I just think it would be nice to see him again. He helped us before and he saved your life. You were happy when he was around and now you don't smile as much as you did." She said as she headed back to the house.

Emma watched her in shock by what Lily had said. Lily had only been around Eric and Emma together for a few days. How could she see a difference in the way Emma acted? But maybe Lily was right. It would be nice to see Eric again. There weren't any rules against it. Calling Eric wouldn't hurt anyone or cause problems for anyone.

She could just call him and hear his voice. It was simple.

Emma walked into the house after she ordered all the kids to return inside and get ready for the night. Emma walked to her room and shut the door. She sealed it and made it so no one could hear from the outside. Buddy looked up from the bed as she sat next to him. She dialed Eric's number on her phone. She placed it to her ear and waited while it rang.

She felt her heart suddenly pounding in her chest with nervousness. What if Eric was angry that she called? What if he didn't want to see her to hear from her anymore? What if Eric really was together with Sookie and she answered the phone instead? But none of those questions mattered because the phone continued to ring until Eric's voice mail finally answered.

She listened to it just to hear his familiar, deep voice but didn't leave a message. She didn't want to sound desperate on the phone which she was suddenly feeling sitting on her bed. She felt like a nervous high school student who was calling her crush for the first time. She hated it.

Emma was anything but desperate and nervous around others, especially the opposite sex. She had been strong and independent when she first met Eric and being with him made her a stronger person. How could that strong person suddenly vanish by just the thought of Eric's voice through a cell phone over 1,500 miles away?

She threw her phone onto the bed and lay against the pillows. She let out a long breath. Buddy cocked his head to the side as he watched her. "Don't judge me." She said quickly to him but he just put his head back down and drifted into sleep.

Emma heard a knock at her door. She waved her hand and the door opened. "Whats wrong?" Emma asked when she saw Ethan standing there looking slightly upset.

"We have another group of Witches that are disobeying the rules." He told her crossing his arms over his chest. Emma rolled her eyes. "You know you have to deal with this." He said when Emma remained silent.

"I know." Emma stood up. "So are you going to force me to go alone? Again?" She asked as she walked to her closet as a suit case appeared next to the door instantly.

Ethan sighed. "I wish you wouldn't give me this attitude all the time." He said simply.

Emma turned sharply to him. "Are you kidding me?" She asked narrowing her eyes. "I have almost died multiple times over the last two years doing things for the stupid council. I never have anyone there to help me, ever. Or did you forget about that?" She asked taking a step closer to him.

"Emma-" Ethan tried to speak but she continued on her rant completely ignoring him.

"Because I certainly didn't forget how I got this." She lifted her shirt up up slightly to show a long scar that ran under her belly button from being stabbed by a Witch who turned evil. "Or maybe you forgot about the time I actually did die, for the second time of my life." Emma said pointing to the bite mark scars going down her wrist from a fight with werewolf who had been addicted to V. "Or how about my first scar I got, the one that you tried to pretend never happened?" She asked pointing to the scar that ran on a slight angle down her neck.

Ethan turned his eyes away from her. "You know it was not my own decision to make you the Rector. It just happened that way." He said softly. "We don't control how these things work."

Emma walked back to the closet. "I know its my duty to keep peace in America but to be honest, its getting old." She said angrily. Suddenly Ethan flew out of her room and the door slammed shut tightly. Buddy looked up at her. She felt a tear slide down her cheek slowly. Buddy watched her as she gathered clothes from her closet and packed them into a suit case.

Once she was done she grabbed her cell phone and dialed carefully. The phone rang only once before it was answered. "Hey, I know its short notice, but can I came see you for a bit?" She asked.

Emma walked up the stone steps that led to a large teal colored door. The house was covered in shiny paneling and the windows sparkled bright, even in the darkest weather. Emma knocked on the door and it swung open in only a few seconds. She stepped in knowing no one had actually opened the door. It opened on its own because it recognized her.

She walked through the hallway into the kitchen. "Emma! I'm so glad you came." Edith said wrapping her small arms around Emma's neck tightly. "It seems like its been years since we last saw one another in person." She said as she squeezed her tightly and then finally released her.

Emma felt comfortable in her presence. "Its been a few months." Emma agreed with her slightly. "I've just been so busy with stupid witch business." She shrugged.

Edith nodded her head slowly. "You shouldn't deal with the problems that aren't yours." She told her as she poured Emma a glass of water. Emma took it without objecting even though she wasn't thirsty. It was more of a habit and tradition to give someone water when entering a water nymph house, for obvious reasons. Without water they would weaken.

"I can't just leave them without a leader." Emma said simply.

Edith pressed her lips together. "Emma, you're not their leader. You let them convince you of your leadership and yet you aren't allowed to make any actual choices." Edith told her plainly.

Emma knew it was true but she was didn't like hearing it. Ethan constantly told Emma she was the leader and she needed to be responsible but every major choice was always made without her opinion involved, which was why Emma was standing in Edith's kitchen at that moment.

"So where are they sending you now?" Edith asked as she examined her teal colored nails.

"Louisiana." Emma answered. As soon as it left her mouth it sounded more official and scary than when Ethan originally told her.

Edith raised her eye brow. "So, will you be visiting Mister Northman while you're there?" She asked. Edith knew everything about Emma and Eric's relationship. Emma had no reason to try to hide things from her. Edith was disappointed in the decision Emma had made but she never truly admitted it to her.

Emma shrugged. "I guess. If I have time." She said casually but she knew she wanted to visit him.

"Well, I guess you have a busy trip then." Edith said smiling.

Emma felt strange driving through Bon Temps. Everything around her looked the same as it had the last time she drove into Bon Temps but it was not for the same reason. Yes, it was because of stupid Witch business but Emma wasn't afraid of Vampires anymore. Emma had no intentions of using Sookie and her abilities. Emma certainly wasn't planning on killing Eric. It was all different.

She pulled into the parking lot of Merlotte's. She smiled to herself as she remembered her first time inside. She hated it. She was disgusted by the thought of even considering walking in but now she felt excited to walk in. She got out of her rented car and walked over to the door. She felt a strange feeling in her stomach then. Something was telling her to not go in and just finish the real reason she was here but she decided to ignore it.

She opened the door and immediately greeted by Sookie. "Emma!" Sookie said loudly and strange expression crossed her face.

"Hey Sookie." Emma smiled at her. "Its good to see you." She said.

Sookie shook her head slightly. "Uh, yeah. Good to see you too." She said and then hugged her quickly. "I'm sorry. I just had a strange night." Sookie said as she forced a smile.

"Yeah, me too." Emma lied. Something was off with Sookie and Emma couldn't figure out what it was exactly. She thought of Eric and whether or not he was with Sookie. She felt the anger and jealousy bubble in her again but she pushed it down. She didn't know the truth and until she knew the truth she wouldn't let anything bother her.

"Well, have a seat." Sookie said ushering her to a booth. She handed her a menu when the door opened. Sookie and Emma saw Tara walk in. "Hey, I'll be back in a minute and we can talk." She said before walking over to the table Tara sat at.

Emma watched her and she knew something was wrong with Sookie. She was hiding something. Emma turned her attention back to the menu then. She was reading through it when Sookie sat across from her.

"So, its so strange you're back in Bon Temps." Sookie said folding her hands on the table. "Why are you here?" She asked.

Emma narrowed her eyes slightly. "Just business...Witch stuff." She shrugged as she handed Sookie the menu over the table. "I'm actually not really hungry anymore." She said as she went to stand up. She needed to get out of Merlotte's.

"Wait!" Sookie grabbed her wrist and then let go quickly. "What happened to you?" Sookie asked noticing the new scars on her.

"I was attacked by a werewolf." Emma answered not caring to lie to her. "I'll see you around. I'm gonna go to Fangtasia to see Eric. It has been a long time." Emma said hoping that would give away whatever Sookie was trying to hide from her in that moment.

Sookie stood in front of her. "Why don't you eat first?" She offered.

Emma took a step towards Sookie. "Did something happen to Eric?" She asked keeping her voice and powers in check. Sookie looked away from her. "I know something happened. I've been calling him and he hasn't answered his phone. What happened?" Emma asked slightly louder.

"He's missing." Sookie said quickly. "Pam told me he left, thats all. She has no idea what happened to him." She said quickly. "Nothing else." Sookie forced a half smile.

"You're lying." Emma pushed past her. Sookie attempted to grab her again but Emma was too quick for her. She ran to her car. She got in and started it. She saw Tara run out from Merlotte's at that moment, along with a man she'd never seen before. They drove quickly. Emma started her car and began driving. When she was within a few blocks of Fangtasia, she realized Tara and the stranger she was with, were going to the same place as her. Emma knew then, something much bigger was happening than she thought.
