Alright well, this is my 1st fan fiction. I read a lot of them but I've been inspired to write my own. The chapters will come rapidly after the other, I hope. Please R&R! I love reviews & I love to hear any ideas you may have.
DISCLAIMER:
I OWN MADELINE ROCKBAND-COMPTON, THOUGH SADLY, I DON'T OWN TRUE BLOOD OR THE SOOKIE STACKHOUSE NOVELS. I WISH I OWNED ERIC, AND A STRONG PAIR OF HANDCUFFS. ;)
There just didn't seem to be enough hours in the night to get everything done. Eric had refused to even say the D-Word. Divorce wasn't in his "vocabulary" as he'd put it. Well, it was certainly in Maddie's. "Eric Percival Northman!" She'd exclaimed when they were back in his office. "I want this divorce more than anything." Eric chuckled his deep, manly, handsome laugh. "Is that so, Madeline? Even more than you want to be human again?" Maddie scoffed at him. "Nothing more than that you barbaric asshole. But I am who I am. And unfortunately, legally, that's still your wife. Jesus Eric, I haven't even seen you in ten years. I just want to be done with you once and for all." He took a moment to let the words hit him. After all his years of being a vampire, emotions and humanity was in a far off land to him. But not to Maddie, she was the most humane vampire that ever "lived", so to speak. She was drawn to Eric the first moment she'd ever saw him and he to her. He wasn't good at emotions, but oh how he'd loved her. Which would explain his hesitance to sign those papers. Even then, after all those years and all the woman he'd been with and all the men he'd assumed she'd been with, he loved her. He was Eric after all, he wasn't going down without a fight. And he certainly wasn't about to admit to his estranged wife that she still held his heart in the palm of her hand. Had he still owned a ticking one.
Maddie left an hour later without her desired results. Eric had started stripping ten minutes into their argument and she made a b-line for the exit. He always did that to get her distracted. Or anyone for that matter. Part of her laughed at the thought that that was the reason she'd probably agreed to marry him in the first place. Of course she knew that wasn't true, he had been one of the loves of her long life. She'd yet to find one to compare. But the man she'd spoken with tonight was a completely different man she'd fallen in love with. Beside his appearance. The man was beyond gorgeous. Of course, Maddie wasn't too bad herself. She was petite, barely making 5 feet, long chocolate brown hair- past her shoulders, and caramel brown eyes. She turned the heads of everyone. Her smile could warm any heart and her fangs, on the extremely rare occasion that they came out, were lovely by any vampire's terms. She fondly remembered that Eric was good at making love. When they were in the throes of passion it felt like the entire world shifted. Indeed she had loved him, but things had went so pear shaped in their relationship. Things had ended so badly…
The next evening Maddie had pushed the past events from her mind and was no longer allowing herself to dwell on them. She went to Merlotte's where Sookie was working for the night. She sat down at the bar and Sookie handed her a True Blood. Sam eyed her, he seemed unsure how to act around her so Maddie, sensing that, waved to him. He approached her cautiously, "yes Miss. Compton?" Maddie smiled at him brightly, "please Mr. Merlotte, call me Maddie." He returned the smile. "Only if you'll call me Sam." She was pleased, "well then Sam, I'd like to buy everyone in here a drink of their choosing please." There were surprisingly quite a few cheers coming from the bar that moment. Lafayette Reynolds heard all the noise and came out to investigate. Sam handed him a free tequila shot which he gulped down instantly. "What the fuck is this for?" He asked in his normal manner. Sam pointed at Maddie and Lafayette stood behind the bar in front of her. He noticed her drink. "So I hears you Bill's daughter, huh? Sook mentioned ya." Maddie smiled at him. "I like Sookie, she's a great woman." Lafayette cocked his head to the side. "How many babies you eat, little girl?" Maddie's drink came flying out her nose. "That's disgusting! I don't eat babies nor do I drink them, sir. I only consume synthetic blood and before that was invented I only drank from animals. I've never once killed a living thing, animal, human, or otherwise. And I adore babies, I wish I could have my own." Lafayette gave Maddie the once over and nodded. "You okay, girlfriend. Lafayette Reynolds, pleasure is all mine baby doll." Maddie then gave him the once over as well and shook his hand. "Madeline Rockband-Compton. But my friends call me Maddie." He smiled at her broadly and went back to his kitchen. "Thanks for the drink" he called over his shoulder. She was never one to hold a grudge, and she knew the bad rap her species had gotten through the years because of some terribly rogue vampires. Okay, most of them were rogue. But the ones who'd decided to mainstream the best they could, were handed an unfair assumption of who they already were.
The door opened and the man entering was being greeted by all in the establishment. Especially the women who acted like their panties' got wet the second they saw him. He was a gorgeous tall man with sandy hair and resembled Sookie. He noticed Maddie looking him over and took the seat next to her. "Beer please, Sam." Sam opened him a cold one and he went to place down his money but Maddie stopped him. "This one's on me, handsome." She handed Sam the money to cover everyone for the next hour and clanked glasses with the man next to her. "Jason Stackhouse." Maddie smiled wickedly, she was a sweet girl, that much was true. But she had needs like any other human or supe alike, and this man looked like he could satisfy them. So she was a minx. Maddie shook his hand, "Maddie Rockband-Compton." Jason's face dropped and looked around for Sookie who came lurking out of the shadows. "I'll explain it to ya later, Jason." He nodded and his mouth closed from the shock. "How old are you, miss?" Maddie grinned, "eighteen. Technically." Jason's head finally figured out what was going on. He recoiled, only slightly, but enough for Maddie to take notice. "Don't worry, I won't bite." Jason smiled sexily at her pun and scooted over to her again. "Well, thank you for the drink, Maddie." She sipped the last of her juice and winked at him. "Anytime." She waved to Sam and Sookie and headed for the door yelling, "see ya later, Lafayette!" Over her shoulder as she left. "Later baby girl!" Lafayette replied enthusiastically as he downed another tequila shot. Jason's face was glowing and he had a rock hard cock pulsing on his thigh. Sookie eyed him and shook her head "no" to which Jason just chuckled in reply.
Maddie made her way back to Bill's a few minutes later and found him lounging on the couch listening to an old vinyl. "Jeez pops, get with the times," she teased him. He patted the seat next to her and she sat down. "You should know something, I doubt Eric mentioned it." Maddie motioned for him to continue. "Sweetheart, Godric died." Maddie was stunned by his words, it took a minute for them to register clearly, and as they did, her cheeks were suddenly soaked with tears. She gasped for air and Bill hugged her close to him, she pulled away. "WHO, WHY, HOW!" She was enraged, which was something she felt rarely, but Godric had been special to her. She regretted with all of her being that they'd lost contact in the last few decades. "It is a long story, my beautiful first born, but he was at peace. He let himself bask in the rays of the sun with Sookie by his side. He was not alone." Maddie composed herself a little more and took in his words. "Sookie?" Bill nodded and handed her a cold True Blood. "We were in Dallas. Eric was obviously very torn up over the loss of his maker." Maddie sighed and sipped her drink, she was calming. "You should have called me." "I realize that now and I am sorry that I didn't." Just then Sookie walked in and noticed Maddie had been crying. "Oh no, what is it?" Maddie explained to Sookie that she had known Godric. "He was a really wonderful being." Sookie nodded in agreement, "I bet he's in Heaven right now, looking down at us." Maddie giggled slightly, "he's probably spying on Eric, making sure he's behaving himself." Sookie joined in her laughter and Bill shifted uncomfortably. "Madeline, have you spoken to Eric?" Then it hit Sookie, how did Maddie know Eric? "I went to that disgusting club of his last night but we got know where. Pam is still a high and mighty bitch. I see some things never change, unfortunately." Sookie had to ask. "How do you know Eric?" Maddie looked deep into Sookie's eyes for a minute and sighed. "Damn, you've had his blood haven't you?" Now Sookie and Bill were uncomfortable. "It was an accident! He tricked me!" Sookie was defensive and Maddie took her hand lovingly. "He's truly turned into a monster." "But still, how do you know him?" Bill took Sookie's free hand and whispered, "prepare yourself, my love." Maddie took a deep breath and smiled warmly at her. "He's my husband, Sookie."
"Oh my good lord!" Sookie was aghast, naturally. Maddie's cell phone was ringing and she looked at the I.D. and scowled. Bill took notice, "hubby dearest?" He asked in a mocking tone. Maddie sighed, "I wish." She answered. "What?" Her tone was curt and it took Sookie by surprise but Bill picked up immediately as to who it was. "Hang up." He instructed, Maddie ignored him. "As your Master I instruct you to hang up the phone, Madeline." His tone was commanding and a little scary now. Maddie hesitated but did as she was told. "Bill! She isn't a child, it was a phone call." Maddie threw the phone on the couch in frustration, her fangs popped out. She immediately recomposed herself and her hand flew over her mouth in shame. Her fangs recoiled, she eyed Sookie. "I'm so sorry, please excuse me." And she fled from the room. Sookie stared at the abandoned cell phone and then Bill. "What was that about?" Bill sighed, "something I can only prolong for a small period of time, unfortunately." Bill led Sookie to the bedroom as Maddie paced the garden. Sookie would have to wait til later to tell Maddie that Jason was a terrible idea.
Okay everyone, I hope you like that chapter. When I first uploaded it, it was much shorter I had to add on. I promise you'll soon find out who was on the phone. It'll be a stunner. ;) Also, I'm aware that vampires only drink blood/ true blood in this show, but I decided to spice it up a bit where they can drink red wine and juices, but they choose not to because it can make them sick. Maddie likes to be normal the best she can, so that's why she'll occasionally order the juice.
Hope you enjoyed! And please R&R! The next chapter will be up shortly.
xoxo
