Modern Day Romeo and Juliet.
I don't own anything, well except for the fact that I own A) the idea B)Ricca, Lyl and any characters not in TrueBlood/SVM or other TV/Books/Anime/Manga's that I may refer to.
Pairing Sookie&Eric, naturally.
Alright this is a bit confusing, it includes things that happened in all books, she knows Bill, she doesn't know Eric. It has information from Dead in the Family. I also have changed the Fae Royalty around a bit to suit myself, which I will explain.
Rating: T for now. Undecided if it will stay.
AN: I accidentally said "Grandfather" I meant Great grandfather. Little not so smartness acting up on my part. The documents wont change out either so -
SPOV
The next morning I woke to the scent of pancakes, bacon, eggs and coffee. My stomach grumbled loudly as I rolled out of bed and made my way down stairs. Niall, Claude, my Gran, and Claudine were each around our table; it was shocking to see all of them.
Claude and Claudine were two Twins from a set of Triplets. Both had long dark hair, deep brown eyes. Claude was around 6 foot, well built, a stripper, and every woman's dream. I myself have even been affected by it. Claudine was around the same height with long legs, and was equally as gorgeous as her twin. Niall was tall, slim and had a head full of pale blonde hair.
Gran turned to smile at me as I entered; I smiled back and pulled up a seat between Claudine, my fairy godmother, and Claude, who didn't even seem to realize I was there. One thing about Claude that really pissed me off was that he had no sense of moral decency or the ability to pull his head out of his ass.
Claudine immediately wrapped her arms around me in a big hug, "Good morning Princess."
"Good morning." I replied sleepily as Gran set plates out in front of each of us, and walked to the door way.
"Ricca!" after a few seconds with no answer she took a deep breath, "Ricca Laila Horror! If you don't get down here in the next five minutes you are not getting fed!" she then promptly turned around to meet face to face with Ricca, who was standing behind her, still in her corset and a pair of boxers arms crossed over her chest.
"Good Morning Gran." She smiled and hugged the woman before perching on a chair beside Claude. Gran set a plate in front of Ricca as well and joined us at the table.
After a few bites of eggs and a sip of my coffee I turned to Niall, "What brings you to this house this early in the morning? I thought we were coming to you."
"I just wanted to pop in." he replied, taking a huge forkful of eggs. I sighed softly and continued eating, he was lying.
Gran seemed rather uncomfortable, being around Fae always made her a bit less then cheery. Ever sense I had found out that the man I thought to be my grandfather wasn't she had seemed noticeably uncomfortable around any Fae, as if it reminded her more of what she had done; She had an affair with Niall's son Fintan and given birth to my father.
Beside me Ricca gave a snort, I looked at her out of the corner of my eye. She had been acting awfully bold lately. She never acted this way. She was out of character and lucky Niall didn't punish her.
Niall was, currently, King of part of the Fae world, the part where Ricca lived. He only answered to one person. A woman nobody knew. And Ricca was risking a lot, even though she was older then Niall, and much more powerful, he was not to be messed with.
She seemed to not realize or respect that anymore, we finished breakfast in silence and Ricca helped Gran clean up while we went into the backyard to talk. I sat down on my lounge chair while Claude, Niall and Claudine stood around, all staring at me.
"What?" I snapped, and then gave each an apologetic smile.
"Your fiancé wants to meet you today, soon. We're having a party. You need to come home and get ready." Another party? I sighed softly, I was not up for meeting my soon-to-be fiancé. "Soon, As in the next few minutes."
"Well let me go get Ricca." I turned around and looked over at the window. Ricca was gone, "Where is she?"
"She has already headed back. Come on." Without a chance to protest Niall grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the woods where a bright light was shinning. I was pushed through it, Niall, Claude and Claudine right behind me. When I emerged I was in Niall's palace in my chambers. The maids quickly set to work dressing me, shooing the other Fae out.
When they were done I was wearing a short white strapless summer dress, it was plain white, and had a belt around the waist. It fell mid-thigh on me. My hair was in a French braid, and all left over makeup from last night was off my face.
Niall was waiting outside my door with Ricca, who was back in her maid uniform, they walked me down stairs, Ricca behind me, and Niall at my side. I really hated it that here Ricca, and every other person working here, were to be seen as lower then us. None of them seemed to mind. Not even Ricca who was hard headed as a bulldog.
Down stairs Claude and Claudine were waiting for us both in white from head to toe, a prominent color here. Beside them was a man with long black hair and green eyes. Lyl. Lyl was standing beside a man with red hair and brown eyes. This was the man I was to marry.
He stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Princess." He murmured taking my hand and kissing the back of it, "Pleasure to meet you. I am Jarard."
I tried to control how visibly grossed out I was as I looked down at his greasy, oily, buildup filled hair. When was the last time this guy showered? I inwardly shuddered as I descended the steps and hooked arms with him as he walked me outside and across the court yard.
By the time my feet hit the garden path I was tuning out his voice, he was one of those people that talked just for the sake of talking. I had no issue just walking beside him and daydreaming of Eric.
I don't know when, but we had stopped beside our fountain and sat down. He was still talking but I was picking up on a second, third and fourth brain on the other side of the paths.
"Lyl!" I heard Niall hiss, then a girlish snort, and a male voice grumbling under his breath. They were spying on me.
I was trying to stop them! Ricca's voice yelped in my head, I heard some rustling and then feet pounding loudly running in the other direction. Two more pairs of footfalls followed after. I shook my head, smiling softly.
"So what about you?" ah shit. I totally spaced out on him.
I gripped his hand a bit tighter and probed his mind. He was talking work, "I'm a waitress." I replied with a smile. I really hated digging into people's minds, but I'm supposed to marry the guy, so what can it hurt?
"That's nice." No wife of mine will be working; no she won't even leave the house, she'll just stay at home and wait for my return everyday. Man she has nice tits. I yanked my hand from his quickly and started fake coughing as an excuse.
I really wanted to just slap him across the face, it would be worth it. I sighed and shook my head. Slapping him wouldn't work.
What about punching? Ricca's voice chimed in. I almost giggled, but stopped myself; I could see her blood red locks blowing in the breeze in the trees.
"Shall we head to the party now, Princess?" I nodded and we stood up half way there I heard my heel snap. I bent to fix it but Jarard stopped me, "You! Servant! Fix this!" I looked up to see a very pissed off Ricca coming toward us, the anger washed from her face as she knelt beside me and quickly took the shoes, giving me hers, and scuttling off again.
More and more hate for this man was coming to me. He was a pig, and clearly thought of woman as his to control. I walked silently beside him all the way back. When we returned Ricca was busy serving food to guests who had arrived after us.
I was introduced to Jarard's father, he clearly got all of his gene's from his father who's thoughts mirror Jarard's about me. But this time instead of thinking about slapping him Ricca actually came up and did so.
"I'll advise you to keep your thoughts clean." She warned vehemently, the man was shaking as the vampire stomped off. I smiled fondly as she turned and winked at me before disappearing to hide from Niall.
Jarard was also a terrible dancer; I sighed and settled for pretending I was with Eric still, which made everything much better. After supper Jarard walked me outside, back to the fountain.
"It is a gorgeous night, is it not?" he asked, his hand settling on my thigh rubbing circles on it. I suppressed the urge to push his hand away and looked up at the sky full of stars.
"It is." I replied, and it was. All you could see were stars for miles, and the moon bright as ever. But he had to ruin it; he leaned over and pushed me onto my back, his lips roughly kissing mine, his hand slid up my skirt and the other ran up the front of my dress to mess with my breast. I tried to shove him away but he wouldn't stop.
HELP! Seconds later Lyl and Ricca were beside me, Lyl ripping Jarard off of me, and Ricca pulling me up.
"You are not married to her yet, so don't you dare try to anything to her until the day your married." She snarled, Lyl flicked his wrist and Jarard flew across the court yard. He then took my hand and led me inside while Ricca stayed behind.
"Niall, I'm taking the Princess home." Niall looked at me, anger flashed over his face, and he nodded before walking toward the court yard. Lyl walked me into my bedroom and let me change while he opened the portal. When I came out Ricca was sitting on my bed waiting with Lyl. Without a word we crossed back over and I went straight up to shower.
Ricca, who has been by my side for everything, could scare me a lot. She is at least 1,000 years old, if not more. And very unique. Not many vampires have the power to not completely drain a fairy and turn them. We still don't know why she even has her fae abilities. She's a mystery and nobody has ever tried to figure it out.
But she is a scary individual. I've seen her kill vampires, humans, Fae, and Were's for getting to close to me. Although most Supes avoid her because she smell's 100 percent vampire hardly anybody knows she's Fae except certain other Fae.
I toweled off and pulled on a T-shirt and a pair of shorts before exiting the bathroom, as I expected Ricca was standing by my window looking at something, "what are you looking at?"
"That vampire from yesterday and Bill are talking." She replied, I walked to the window and I could barely see the Eric and Bill, but I could see there glowing skin.
"What are they talking about?"
"You." She opened my window and she jumped down and disappeared. Why were the two vampires talking about me?
I watched out the window as Ricca joined them, I wished I could hear them. But when I tried to listen to Ricca's brain I was shoved out. She was part vampire, so I couldn't ever read her brain unless she wanted me too. I sighed, closed my window, and went down stairs to find Gran.
She was sitting on the couch watching Jeopardy. I joined her and watched the show as I waited for Ricca's return. Gran smiled over at me, and pat my hand.
