Deception Waltz

There were many stories surrounding the mysterious disappearance of Eric Northman's first progeny, the young French maiden by the name of Jonvieve- Anne Nivard, that he so affectionately called Vivi. In the beginning, Eric had taken her as his lover promising her a life of freedom if she promised to give herself over to him completely, become his progeny he had asked of her. It had been a typical Maker-Progeny relationship at first, full of passion and deep tethered loyalty, however as time drew on, the ropes of their bond began to unravel bit by bit. Over time they had become estranged, although they remained together. She was still his after all. The possession he felt over her was what is said to have ultimately led to her disappearance. Some stories claim that he found his former lover and progeny in bed with another man, and in a fit of jealousy he ripped her heart out. Other stories claim that he had her coffin spelled shut while slept where it now sits in the basement of his beloved bar, Fangtasia. The most famous of tales, claim that she lay buried alive in the foundation of one his mansions, the location of which no one actually knew.

Eric was well aware of the stories that surrounded her disappearance and the reputation it had given him, as he had been the creator of some of them, he didn't care. The Viking only cared that no one ever found out the truth or her true whereabouts. The life of all depended on it.
