The sun shone through the window, making me squint my sleepy eyes, I groaned as I turned over. I felt the familiar warmth of a body near me. Opening my eyes, seeing Alcide sleep so soundly; it was so sweet. His short hair all a mess, the bristles on his face bent all over, his light musk scent filling my nose. His aura felt so stressed and tired; I smiled, running my hand through his hair. Must have had a tough weekend away.

I nuzzled closer, leaning my head near his heart, listening to each little thump. It was a nice sound to hear, to actually hear the life flowing through a person. It always made me sigh no matter how many times I heard his heart, it always made me amazed. It even made me smile brighter.

He wrapped his arm around me, as he slowly woke up, his sweet smile and gorgeous green eyes stared drowsily at me. "Hey."

"Hiya." I tousled my hair so it wasn't all in my face, he laughed seeing I just made it worse. "You try having long ass hair."

"I'll pass. You pull it off way better than I could." Alcide moved my hair, so it was now on my back, our eyes connected. "How is it that I found a girl like you?"

"Alcide." I hugged tight, not knowing what to say. He held me closer, pulling the blankets around us. Our bodies so close made it so warm against the cold room temperature, it was almost too perfect. It had been like this since I met him.

I remember it too clearly. After Eric came back with Bill and Sookie, we all talked and we had been convinced to find Eric's maker, which was fine with me, being that it was important to Eric. And after a lot of bull, we got him back and brought him back to his home. Sookie had been really out of it thinking of some guy back at the hotel, but all I could think about was finally getting home. Out of no where some stupid human following the Fellowship did a suicide bombing, with silver casings all over his body. Godric had saved me, while my so called fiance saved Sookie. It made me sick. Then to make things worse, while I was trying to collect myself, Eric had fucked up. That conniving bastard conned Sookie to suck out the silver, which would have eventually came out on their own. All he wanted was a bond with her, just another prize to his collection.

I pulled her off Eric, but it was too late, I sensed it, they were already connected. I kicked Eric in the face, time and time again, then Godric pulled me off him. I swore in so many languages, it made my head hurt, as he stood up. He just looked at me with his soulless blues, as he smacked me. Godric was furious, as he pulled me behind him, I started to burn up. I left the house, Sookie begged me to stay. I told her to leave me alone, and I got the first flight out. On the flight, I let my fire burn through the blood bond, I had thought it was the best thing for Eric and I. And deep down, I knew I was wrong but all I felt was betrayal.

I went to the house, got all my things, leaving the house and drove the hell away. Away from that horrible, despicable, two faced, lying and heartbreaking vampire bastard, with his stupid short hair and manipulative smile. All I could think about was what he said before the bomb to me,

'You did amazing, Ava.' He pulled me away from the crowd, pushing my back to the wall; I felt so small. He lifted his hand to my cheek, as I gasped at the ice. All I had been feeling is warm, fighting and just trying to stay in one piece, my powers had made me sweat but it just all faded with the fullness of his palm against my cheek.

'It wasn't just me... Sookie and Bill did their parts..' I looked up into his blues, he rubbed his thumb close to my chocolate browns. 'You should have been more careful.'

Eric laughed, as he pulled away, and I took a sad breath in. 'I have no need to be careful.'

'For me you should.' I mumbled under a stretch of my cracking muscles, his eyebrows tilted. 'You promised me the truth, yah know... I just don't want you dead before that happens'

He smiled, his teeth so white it almost made me shudder from its sickening purity. Eric came so close, that his breath made my lips warmer, while his hands were at either side of my head. My personal bubble was popped to pieces, and I actually just wished for more. I blinked furiously, I love him... please dont hurt me... not again. 'Ava, you're all I'll ever need till the day the sun bursts and takes me with it.'

I started to tear up but then I heard Sookie call, so I took a deep breath and smile brighter than I could ever try to smile. It almost hurt. He looked like he was about to kiss me, but Godric did the same to him. So, we parted with our smiles and then all as time passed the hell fell upon us.

I shook my head, trying to put the painful thought away. I didn't know where to go, I didn't want to be anywhere near Eric, or Sookie. My fire fought against me, somewhere deep inside me, I felt I shouldn't have left Sookie. She was my friend, but to be stupid enough to fall for Eric's con. I groaned, trying to figure what to do next. Before I could make a choice, the car had other plans. It finally decided to kick the bucket in a town called Jackson. I had drove all the way to Mississippi in a fit of rage; I sat in defeat on the sidewalk waiting for AAA. But that's when Alcide came along, his truck passed by and he stopped asking if I needed help. I fell for his sweet stare, it was love at first sight, even though it was less than a few hours ago I was engaged. But that doesn't matter, his aura just felt so perfect, it fit mine so well.

Alcide was kind enough to let me stay as a roommate, since his girlfriend, Debbie seemed to like me. Then a few months later, they broke up, it was so sad to see him like that. That night I found out he was a Were, he had transformed against the full moon. He almost killed me, but I used my powers against him. He transformed back, I let my flames simmer, and one thing led to another. We ended up, making out and falling asleep in each other's arms.

I told Alcide the truth, and he did the same with me. We became a couple and I had a pissed Debbie come by every time she was drunk and needed a bitch slap. It's been a year since I left Bon Temps, it feels like it's just a book I returned to the library. I didn't want to read it anymore.

Alcide's phone rang, as I look at him sadly. "If it's work, I'll tell them to screw it."

"Good." I smiled, as I leaned up, grabbing my hair brush. I brushed my hair, watching him pick up his cell phone. I went slow, because like every other morning, my hair was a rats nest of tangles. Darn my gorgeous long hair.

"Hello?... Yes… But… Fine.. Tommorow." He growled, I glared.

I groaned as he closed his phone. "What the hell happened to screw work? Or did that just happen to slip from that head of yours."

"It isn't work." Alcide looked at me, glaring at me for the comment, I smiled, sarcastically.

"Then what is it?" I continued my hair, as he got out of the bed, walking over to the dresser, putting on a tank top.

"Remember how my father had to ask favors to pay for his company?"

"Yeah? What about it?" I pulled through a tangle, feeling something was building in my chest.

"Well that was the guy who we owe. I have to go protect some girl and our favor will be complete."

I looked at him, skeptical. "What girl?"

"Some Stackhouse woman." I dropped my hair brush, as my fire started to dramatically grow in my chest.

"Stackhouse, Sookie?" My eye twitched, as he nodded.

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"I'm guessing the man, is named Eric Northman." I got up, as I scoffed and smiled twistedly. I swallowed and within that short second of time, I smashed my hand into the wall.

"Yes." He got up walking towards her, he noticed the smile. It had that deep twitch that always came when something deep was wrong.

I lifted my hand from the wall, waving it and fixing the hole. "Its him, isn't it?"

"How'd you figure that out Sherlock?" I glared. "Did me punching a giant hole give it away?"

"Ava..." He sighed looking at her, he knew she'd be a bit... harsh when pissed but she didn't mean anything by it.

"What... do you expect from me? It's him the dick, the massive dick weed I gave my soul to in this life and as Sonya. HOW DO YOU THINK I WOULD REACT? Act like a god damn easy breezy fucking cover girl and fake it!"

He growled as he took her shoulders tight within his hands, her skin warmer to the touch than normal and it was getting worse. "Calm down."

I slapped his hands away, glaring into his eyes. "I'm going with you."

"What?" He watched as I started to pack what clothes were mine, I still only had so little that I called mine in this place I called home. I blinked changing into a tight halter top with jeans, slipping on my leather jacket and tying my hair up into a bun with some feather sticks. Feather sticks, were made from strands of my hair that turned to fire feathers, this happened when I reached the first step of three towards my true form.

I hadn't really thought about it till now, the sticks were just in a box for the longest time. It was on our first month together; some of his clan heard from Debbie I wasn't human nor were. That evening they came to the apartment while Alcide went to the store for our dinner, they sucker punched me from behind. Tied me up, tortured me, making me bleed as each time they tried to suck off my blood they would burn and get dragged away to be healed some how. It was over a week, till Alcide found me and he was shocked at what he found.

Bodies burnt to statues in their last act, some trying to come at me, others running from the blast but all were too late. It was about seven Weres, as I laid in the melted bits of shackles, feathers strewed around the room. He collected what feathers were stable and the rest left burnt marks on his hands; marks to remember that day. The rumor passed that I had murdered them with my abilities and for those Were's who wish not to die, were to stay away from me and Alcide. Upside to the rumor, many Were's accepted me without asking what I was or what other things I could do, if I just was always loyal to them. I agreed. So, I've only unlocked one door towards my truest form and I was happy to have a weapon so fashionable.

"I don't think you should come." Alcide stood in front of her, looking with concern in those sweet eyes. "What if you..."

"Then I'll face it. Destiny gave you that call and I am a part of it. I know in all my lives, I am turned back where I began and face the darkness. Even if He's part of it." I smiled as I picked up his keys giving them to him. "Drive fast to catch up in Bon Temp."

He shook his head, laughing. "Stubborn girl."

"Why yah love me." I stuck out my tongue, as I dashed in a blur out of the apartment and off on the highway sidelines, faster than light and not at all seen, not even by the best eyes.
