I never understood peoples fascination with sex on television, Yeah the guys are usually sexy models but I never really got a kick out of watching two people have a roll in the hay but I suppose when your boyfriend, husband, bonded... whatever is a 1000 year old vampire I guess you do lose interest in living vicariously through other peoples sex lives, especially when you have someone as sexually experienced as Eric Northman my sheriff of area five honey. I hadn't seen Eric in two weeks since the night his maker died, he still calls me nightly and says the reason why he can't see me is because he has to deal with the ramifications of Appius's death and while that may be true I know that the biggest reason for him staying away is that he is having trouble dealing emotionally with his makers passing. From what I can gage from the bond; he is relieved his maker has met the final death but feels as if he shouldn't be. I think sometimes Eric forgets that I can feel his feelings as strong as he can feel mine.

So here I sit in my living room watching sex and the city and I am totally utterly bored. My Saturday nights were usually quiet since I didn't have work but since bill entered my life; what feels like forever ago, I have become accustom to the active, dangerous lives of the supernatural and now the time that I used to value as my own, I find dull and boring.

I was drawn from my musing by a sharp knock on my door. I sent out a mental scan to discover two voids, but I could feel neither were Eric. I cautiously walked to the door and opened it knowing whoever on the other side couldn't enter without my invitation but still wary after Appius and Alexei entry without an invite.

I was shocked still with who I saw in my door way, two tall men holding a striking resemblance to Eric. The Taller of the two, had Eric's Strong cheek bones and firm jaw but his build was not as muscular as Eric's and he was much more lean but about the same height. He wore a long purple velvet coat that grazed the ground with black dress pants and shiny leather shoes and a white ruffled shirt that reminded me of a pirate. He was seriously living in a different time period but he managed to make the look work with his perfectly straight long blonde hair pulled back into a pony tail at the base of his neck.

The shorter of the two had a completely different style. Although his features were generally the same as Eric and the other vamp, his hair was cut short and slicked back with styling gel, he wore leather pants which left nothing to the imagination and a white shirt with a black leather vest emphasizing his muscular torso which matched with his heavy duty work boots. He appeared a lot more modern.

Although both were clearly intimidating men, the smaller of the two who had to be about 3 inches shorter than the other, scared me a little, he had this predatory look in his eyes that made me think he was the one I had to watch out for as his eyes took me in hungrily.

"Can I help you?" I asked keeping my voice as even as possible and trying to hide the shock from my face. The shorter one smirked signalling that I had failed but it was the taller who spoke.

"We are sorry to disturb you at this later hour but we find ourselves in a dilemma" he spoke with a thick accent although the same type as Eric's it was clearly more pronounced.

"Well I'll help in any way I can" I said politely leaning back on Gran's manners.

He smiled indulgently "You are the one they call sookie yes?" he asked and I nodded slowly nervous by the almost warm smile that covered his features "My name is Leif and this is Vena, you are bonded to our birth brother Eric Northman".

You could have knocked me over with a feather.

"Your birth brother?" I squeaked not sure what to do with that information. They had to be lying, vampires don't have birth brothers and if Eric did he would have told me of them, right?

"Yes, we have the same biological parents and the same maker" He smiled looking me up and down but it was more of an evaluation then the eye fuck I was getting from Vena

I stepped closer to the basket I kept my the door, it was for umbrellas but I also kept my shot gun in there, after all the attacks I have in my house it seemed like the responsible thing to do.

I quickly grabbed the gun and pointed in at them "Tell me who you really are or I'll turn you to goo on my door step" I hissed trying to sound as menacing as possible.

"That's fucking hot" Vena leered "You do realise bullets can't kill us unless silver and even then they would only wound" his voice was low and deadly as he stepped closer to the threshold. He looked ready to pounce while Leif just observed me with his head cocked to the side.

"I've been around vampires enough to know that, so I skip silver and go straight to wood" I glared cocking the gun and pointing it straight at Vena's chest as a very clear warning.

Vena just laughed "We are Eric's kin we share his blood", before I could react the shot gun was thrown from my hands and into the lounge room and I was being held around the neck by Vena from behind, his arm holding tightly to my mid section keeping me hard against his chest. "Which means we don't need an invitation" he finished with a whisper and I could hear the grin through his extremely Americanised accent.

Fear spiked though my body when Leif walked into the house looking around as if he had entered a museum, but I settled some when he seemed completely uninterested with our predicament, he seemed fascinated by the wall paper as he ran his fingers over the floral pattern.

I looked to the broom I had next to the staircase and in a quick movement that Vena was unprepared for I grabbed the broom and hit him with it using all my strength which had been increased by the amount of vampire blood I had consumed, then I snapped the broom in half and leaped on Vena's stumbling form slamming us both into the ground with me on top and I pressed the stake into his chest.

"Its rude to enter a house without an invitation" I hissed pushing the stake harder with warning, then glancing at Leif to see if he would attack me, but he mealy stood by the door watching us with an expression I couldn't understand.

I glared down a Vena who seemed a little too excited with our position as he started wriggling under me while grinning. I lifted a lip in disgust and pushed down harder with the stake to get him to stay still.

Suddenly there was a third presence with us, kneeling next to me with worry clouding his beautiful features.

"Lover why are you trying to stake my brother?" Eric asked although he looked more concerned for me then Vena

"He attacked me" I said simply before my eyes darted to his "Wait so they are really your brothers?" I asked 'shit'

He nodded, a slow smile creeping onto his face before he glared down at Vena "You attacked my bonded?" He hissed his fangs falling as his eyes glowed with malice.

"Attacked is such a harsh word can we go with something else like assaulted I prefer assaulted" He grinned "Besides I don't think she minded that much" He leered up at me and I quickly jumped from on top of him.

"Ewww" I groaned before looking at Eric apologetically "I'm sorry Eric if I had of known they were your brothers I never would have..." He cut me off with a peck on the lips.

"All is forgiven lover besides Vena deserved to be beaten the shit out of and it makes me very happy to know you're the one doing it" he pulled me into his arms and I relaxed against his chest. I had missed being in his arms more then I would like to admit, it was my favourite place in the world, it felt right when I was there and I felt safe. I inhaled deeply absorbing his sent into my body and I signed with contentment.

"Lover as much as I would like to stay like this, we have other matters to address" Eric whispered into my hair and kissed my forehead lovingly. I could vaguely hear Vena making gagging noises like an adolescent watching their parents kiss. I had to wonder how old he actually was.

"Geez get a room" he groaned. Eric rolled his eyes and turned to glare at him

"You are a thousand years old, it's about time you start acting like it" Eric hissed and I could feel his irritation though the bond but Vena just grinned

There was an uncomfortable silence with Eric glaring at Vena who just grinned back at him, I was still in Eric's arms and Leif seemed to be observing the whole situation with a mixture of amusement and indifference, a mixture i have never seen someone express at the same time.

"Oh where are my manners, would any of you like a true blood?" I asked pulling from Eric and putting on my hostess smile, just because they were vampires didn't mean I had to be rude.

"you just pinned me to the floor and threatened me with final death I think we are a little past manners don't you" Vena asked he was still laying stretched out on the floor with his hands behind his head, stretching out his defined torso.

"It's never too late to use your manners perhaps if you had any you would know that" I smiled tensely and I could see Eric smirking from the corner of my eye.

"I would very much enjoy a true blood if you are still offering" Leif asked politely and I gave him a genuine smile before turning on my heel and disappearing into the kitchen. As I got their drinks ready I could hear them greeting each other.

"I like her she has fire, which is so rare these days" Vena said wistfully, I just rolled my eyes. I could already tell I wouldn't like him.

"She's mine Vena, touch her and I will remove you head" Eric threatened but he sounded bored like he had said the same thing a million times.

"Greetings brother, it is nice to see you so well" Leif said his voice light and friendly before taking a serious tone "Is she the one?" He asked, I guess Eric gave some sort of non verbal signal because I didn't hear anything else being said.

The microwave dinged and I grabbed their true bloods and placed them on a tray before walking into the entry way and past them into the lounge room

"Please" I said gesturing to the couch. All three of them sat with Eric in the middle. They all looked so much alike but were obviously so different. I couldn't help but giggle at the sight of the three oversized men sitting on my couch looking uncomfortable. They all gave identical raised eye brows which only caused me to laugh harder. When I finally pulled myself together I took the chair across the coffee table from them and mumbled a sorry while still stifling a smiling.

"So I guess you have some questions and I am willing to answer them" Eric said but reluctance rang through the bond as he glanced at his brothers over his shoulders with an unfathomable expression. They each nodded before turning their attention on me.

"How?" I asked simply I knew he would know what I meant.

"As you know I was born as a Viking a thousand years ago and Vena and Leif weren't lying when they said they are my birth brothers because they are, Leif is the oldest of us by two years and I am three years older than Vena by human birth but the night before I was turned Appius turned Leif and buried him, the next night he took me and the final night that Leif rose he took Vena. Appius's obsession for our looks and physic made him greedy and since we are so similar in appearance he wanted all of us instead of just the one" Eric explained, I glanced at Leif to see his face take on an almost guilty expression for a split second before returning to his stone like features. Even though it was a quick change he knew I saw it and gave me a pointed look. I quickly turned my gaze back to Eric as he continued his tale "Appius's greed caused us much pain but we were bred from warriors and we endured all he did to us and now we are stronger for it" Eric finished and all three looked prideful of their survival.

I nodded slowly and there was silence while I processed what he had said but there was still one question plaguing me.

"Why have you never told me about them?" I asked and Eric's face fell and turned hard as I have seen it do numerous times before when he is about to say something 'sheriff' like or he's not being completely honest.

"You did not need to know" he stated and I looked at him for a moment. I hated when he kept things like that from me, he kept the fact that Appuis could enter my house from me and I end up with Appuis and his new child in my bedroom driving my emotions crazy, so for me that was not a good enough answer.

I stood and walked towards the hall "You know the way out sheriff" I called over my shoulder stiffly. I hated when he became the sheriff with me and I was in no mood for his shit tonight and as I walked towards my bedroom, I was once again wishing for a quiet night in.
