Meeting Eric
I do not own True Blood or the Southern Vampire Mysteries.
The school bus dropped me off. It was winter, so the sun had set early. The front door was already unlocked, which surprised me.
I set my keys on the kitchen table, along with my backpack and purse. "Sookie? Jason? Bill?" I called, "Sam? Tara?"
The house was completely quiet.
I turned and saw a dark shadow. I blasted it with my powers and heard a groan. "I'm so sorry", I said. I slowly walked over to the figure.
It raised its head and I saw fangs.
I ran to the kitchen and broke a chair into a wooden stake.
"I mean you no harm", the vampire said.
"Yeah right", I said.
"I need to see your sister", he said.
"Well she's not here", I said, starting to calm down.
"I know, but then I smelled your blood. I was going to bite you, but then I saw you. I just wanted to meet you", the vampire said, "I'm Eric Northman".
"Naomi Stackhouse", I said.
"Naomi? That's a unique name", Eric said.
"So is Sookie. At least yours is normal", I said.
"I hope we can be friends", Eric said.
"Maybe", I said.
I made dinner and heated up some True Blood that Sookie left in the house.
"So, are you special like Sookie?" Eric asked.
"No. Pure human", I said.
"That's not possible", Eric said.
"Adopted", I confessed.
"And you're okay with that?" Eric asked.
"I always knew I wasn't a Stackhouse. Sookie and I were too different. I found the papers. Sookie doesn't know that I know", I told him.
The clock struck 10.
"I should get to bed", I said.
I climbed into bed. I looked up and saw Eric leaning against my door frame.
"Could I…lay with you?" he asked.
I nodded and he climbed into bed with me. I turned and put my head in his chest.
"Sweet dreams little Stackhouse", he said kissing my head.
*Eric's Pov*
When I was sure Naomi was asleep, I got up and went downstairs.
Sookie stormed in. "Where is she?" she yelled, "I swear if you did something to her". Sookie stormed up the stairs, only to find Naomi asleep in her bed.
"Sookie?" Naomi said softly.
"I'm sorry I woke you", Sookie said.
"That's okay", Naomi said. She looked around. "Where's Eric?" she asked.
I rushed to her bedside. "Right here little Stackhouse", I said.
She smiled and went back to sleep.
"What did you do to her?" Sookie asked me.
"Nothing. She got off the bus, came inside, I frightened her so she blasted me, she threatened to stake me, we had dinner, and she went to bed", I told her.
"Then why did she ask for you?" Sookie asked.
"I was lying with her before you stormed in", I said, "Nothing more".
"Don't hurt her and you can stay", Sookie said.
"I have no intention of hurting her", I said rushing upstairs.
