I do not own Trueblood or any of the characters in it. This story will NOT follow the t.v show or the books, so if you have a problem with that don't read it.
Sookie sat in her kitchen waiting for Sam to show up. Before Bill left he had asked Sam to watch out for her, unfortunately for Sookie Sam was taking the job very seriously and she was almost never alone. It was a week after bill and the other vampires left and as far as Sookie new none of them were back yet.
Suddenly there was a nock on her door, 'Strange I didn't see Sam pull up.' Sookie thought as she walked to the door and looked out the window to see who it was. Standing on her front porch was Eric Northman one of the vampires that went with Bill.
"Hello Eric." Sookie said after she opened her door.
"Good Evening, may I come in?" He asked her.
Sookie paused before answering, after all there was a killer loose, and then she remembered what Bill had said about any vampire not being able to resist a fresh body full of blood. "Yea, sure, come in." She answered opening the door wider. "Is Bill back as well?" She asked once they were both sitting in the living room.
"No…I'm afraid he's not. Sookie, killing another vampire is a very dangerous thing to do. Especially in today's times when we are living out in the open. No, Bill is not dead,' he clarified seeing the look on her face', but he wont be able to come back for a long time."
"What did they do to him?? Is he ok?" Sookie demanded.
"He has to stay in a coffin wrapped with silver for five years."
"Can a vampire survive that? Will he get to feed? Will the silver touch him? Can't you do anything?" Sookie asked desperately.
"No, I can't do anything. He killed one of our kind! That can't be ignored."
"It was to save my life! Ohh, but I'm just a human so it doesn't count!" Sookie shrieked.
"Not all vampires see it that way. To answer your other questions, he will not get to feed, the silver won't touch him, and most vampires go crazy before the five years are over." Eric answered.
"Five years…is a long time." Sookie mumbled more to herself then to Eric.
"Sookie? Are you ok? Who's that?" Sam asked barging into the room.
"Hi Sam. I'm ok; this is Eric a friend of Bill's." Sookie explained.
"You look really pale…" Sam added striding across the room and turning her head so he could see her neck. Sookie realizing what he was looking for raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.
"How dare you!" Sookie stood up, "Out! Get out of my house right now!"
"Sookie please, Bill said that I should look out for you. I didn't mean anything by it." Sam tried to explain.
"I said get out." Her voice was deadly flat. When he didn't move Sookie grabbed the remote (the closest thing to her) and chucked it at Sam.
"Ok, ok, I'm going!" He called as he dodged it and ran for the door. Sookie sat back down across from Eric and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry' Sookie rambled, 'I'm a horrible host, would you like some Trueblood?" She asked after she composed herself.
"No, I can't stand the stuff." Eric answered shortly; he seemed uncomfortable all of a sudden.
"Is something wrong?" Sookie asked.
"Did Bill ever tell you about the Vampire love curse?" Eric asked changing the subject.
"No…What is it?"
"Every vampire has a set mate, a human that they can have one child with. A born vampire, if you will. Finding your mate is very rare but if you do it's almost impossible to be away from them." Eric explained looking even more uncomfortable then before.
"What does this have to do with me?" Sookie asked after a moment.
"You are not Bill's mate." Eric stated. Sookie noticed that his hands were shaking slightly.
"No, he would have told me if I was." Sookie confirmed. "Have you found your mate?" Sookie added.
"Not until recently. If the mate does not accept the partnership though, the vampire will die."
"That's horrible, has she accepted?" Sookie asked.
"I don't think she realizes it yet. Until she does this will only get worse." Eric said gesturing to his whole body witch was trembling slightly.
"Why aren't you with her…Ohhh! Why didn't you say so?" Sookie asked leaning forward and grabbing his hands. Instantly as she toughed him he stopped shaking and relaxed.
"You had to figure it out on your own." Eric answered looking sown at their joined hands. "I have to go; I'll come back tomorrow night." Before Sookie could say anything he was out the door and gone.
Sookie went to the door and locked it, then went upstairs to take a bath and think about everything Eric and revealed to her.
What do you think? Should I continue it?
