The Viking story

AN: My new story is here. Sookie is the daugther of a norse goddess and is sent to erarth. Eric is a viking and not a vampire. Yet. They are meant to be together and when they are ready for it, rule the supe world. I´m 99% sure that this story will have a sequel. But right now, I´ll let you read the story. Enjoy.

Almost all of the characters belong to Charlaine Harris. Some others are mine.

I was standing on the cliff between the worlds again with my mother. I was being sent to the human world. A prophecy had been told, when I was a child that would meet my soulmate in the human world and we would rule all the races there. I thought that it was bizarre. I hadn't even grown to my powers yet. I could do the simple stuff like teleporting, turning invisible and basic self defence but I was too young to be a full goddess yet. It could happen any minute though and I didn't want to be vulnerable when it did happen. It is the most dangerous time for us and anyone could kill us while the change. I was glad that I could take Havet with me though. She was my guardian, she could transform into anything and we could communicate telepathically. Right now, she was in my lap as a cat.
„Sookie," Freyja called to me „You must go now. If you wait for too long, you might miss your chance." She smiled at me and I hugged her. I was going to miss her.
I turned to the cliff and jumped into the water.

...

I woke up to see a pair of beautiful blue eyes looking down at me with concern. It was the most handsome man, I had ever seen and that was saying something. I had lived with the gods for all of my life.
„Are you allright?" he asked me. I was a little sore from being thrown around between the worlds but that would heal soon. I felt a little weak though. „I am fine." I told him stubbornly. The man shook his blonde head and picked me up in his arms.
„I'm taking you to my home. You need a place to stay, I have free space and food." I looked around for Havet. When I saw the huge white wolf following us I felt relief. I trusted her with all of my life, we had been together since birth. She would protect me If something happened.
The man walked into a nice village. Everyone was busy with their morning routine but a few people gave us suprised glances. They didn't approach us though and I wondered why. The man chuckled and I looked at him „What's so funny?" I asked him. He glanced at Havet. Oh.
„Your wolf is scaring all the villagers." Havet had bared her teeth and growled at anyone who dared to look at us „Calm down. They wouldn't hurt us." She grinned at me „Hey let me have my fun. I can't look too tamed, or they might not fear me enough."
„Yeah, because your largeness would not scare them it!" She rolled her eyes and closed her mouth. Much better. We had gotten to the man's longhouse. It was large for the standards, so he must have a big family living there with him.
The man entered a room, that must have been his. He lay me down on the bed and sat beside me.
„What is your name" he asked me.
„My name is Sookie." He nodded „I'm Eric. Does the wolf have a name?" I smiled at him.
„Her name is Havet. Thank you for picking me up on the shore. It was very nice of you." He took my hand „It was my pleasure. Are you feeling allright? We should probably introduce you to the village soon if you are planning on staying here. You are staying here, right?" suddenly, he was looking worried. I nodded. „Good. You can live here and work for me if you want to." I had nowhere to go anyways. „I would love to." Not really „is there somewhere I can wash myself before meeeting the village. I feel dirty." I had sand everywhere.
„So you are feeling good enough? Ther is a clear stream that we use for washing nearby. I will take you there." He started to pick me up again but I jumped out of thebed before he could catch me. I wasn't going to let him carry me everywhere. He rolled his eyes and took my hand instead. „Havet, you can stay here." She rolled her eyes but did what I said.
Eric led me through the woods to a beautiful stream. „So here is the place for washing yourself." He said, looking at me expectantly. Oh, he was waiting for me to undress myself. I would've done it if he hadn't had that victorious expression on his face. Somebody would have to bring him down and I would be glad to be that somebody. I ran towards the water and jumped in with my clothes on.
The water was cool and refreshing. I swam aroud for a bit before I took a glance at Eric. I looked at where he stood before but he wasn't there. I looked around but still didn't find him. Maybe he had somewhere to go. Just when I thought that, I felt something grab me from behind. The thing lifted me up and threw me back into the water. It was Eric, who was laughing his ass off at my expression.
I launched myself towards him and knocked him over. I quickly ran out of the water and settled on a rock, watching as Eric struggled to stand up. He smirked at me, when he got out of the water. He was so muscular. I ogled him until he was standing in front of me "See something you like?" he brushed my cheek. I nodded to him silently. "Me too." He was suddenly very serious.
I stood up, shaking myself from the haze of his awesome body. " We should go. I was supposed to meet the villagers, remember?" he nodded.
"I'm going to introduce you to my brothers and their wives. Aude and Helga are very kind and they can help you get used to the village." Good, I had no idea what I was expected of me, as a girl that Eric had found on the beach. I knew how to work though, so I wasn't completely clueless.
We neared a few men, working on a longship. Two of them had Eric's features so I figured that they must be his brothers. They were impressive, but not as impressive as Eric. We moved closer to them and they looked up at us "Brother, I see that you've finally found yourself a girl. What is your name little one?" Eric groaned.
"Nice to meet you too. My name is Sookie." Eric smiled at me "That's Alexander," He pointed at the man who had spoken to me "and that's Leif." He pointed at the other brother. I nodded to them both.
"Where did you find the little flower? I haven't seen her around." Leif asked Eric. I'm not that little.
"I went on the shore this morning, a little bit after sunrise and I saw her lying there, just on the shoreline. I took her home and here we are." The brothers nodded.
"I should find Aude and Helga. I have some work to do and I don't want to leave Sookie alone right now." Alexander and Leif smirked at us "They are near the old oak tree. By the way, some people were talking about a wolf following you in the morning. Is that true?" they asked curiously. I chuckled
"She's with me. She won't attack anyone, if they don't attack me." I laughed at their solemn expressions and Eric led me away from them. "I think you just earned their respect." Eric winked at me and I laughed. I was going to like it here.

AN: So what do you think? I really hope you like it. Please review. If you review, I´ll write faster. I haven´t found a beta for this story yet, so all mistakes are mine. I have a lot of trouble with paragraphs and stuff like that and I know it. I just can´t fix it. You´ll have to bear with me until I find a beta. You can check out my other story "My awakening" if you want to.

Havet-sea (In Swedish, as much as Google translate tells me. I hope itś right)

Freyja- Old Norse goddess of love and beauty and other good stuff like that. Like a Norse version of Aphrodithe.
