Eric came over and touched Sookie's hand "Sookie you alright?" he said sweetly but Eric could see some tears well up in Sookie's eyes. Sookie brushed off the spell saying "I'm fine." Just then they could hear a door shut there was a person walking on the landing upstairs. "Professor Knight it's so nice to hear from you" a woman's voice said coming from the landing. Sookie could see a tall curvy young woman standing on the landing talking on her cell phone. The young woman had long curly hair which was the color of white corn and long muscular legs. She was wearing a pair of cut off shorts with a LSU T-shirt. The young woman turned some so Sookie could see her face. Sookie's breath got caught her in throat this young woman was gorgeous. Eric noticed Sookie looking at the young woman and he said "That is Sarin. Sookie, my baby girl."
Sookie couldn't take her eyes off the young woman she was assessing who Sarin resembled. Eric could tell that was what was going through Sookie's mind. Eric whispered "She is built like my mother but her face is a spitting image of Aud." "She is so beautiful Eric." Sookie said with admiration. "Thank you. Sookie she is wonderful" Eric said with pride. From the landing they could hear the young woman start to cheer "YES, YES!" and noticed she started to do a little happy dance. Eric laughed calling up to his daughter "Did you get it?" Of course Sarin didn't think anyone saw her little dance of joy. With some embarrassment she called down to her father "Yes I did and Professor Knight gave me my grades for the last semester. I made the Dean's List!" "That's my girl!" Eric said as Sarin walked down the steps to hug and kiss her dad. "Sarin was just offered an internship at the University Of Pennsylvania Medical Center in Philadelphia. My baby is going to be a doctor" Eric said with a whole lot of pride. "Oh I'm sorry Sookie this is my daughter Sarin. Sarin this is Sookie Stackhouse she going to be your mom's new charge." Eric continued.
Sarin stepped over to Sookie smiling a genuine smile shaking Sookie's hand "Nice to meet you. Finally, daddy has told me so much about you." Sarin said sweetly. Eric introduced Sarin to Bill and Alcide to which she shook their hands and smiled. Sarin pushed her hair away from her eyes for a moment and Sookie saw the blue-crescent moon tattoo on Sarin's forehead. Sookie immediately knew where she had seen or heard of this. Remember Sookie was an advent reader. She had read Marion Zimmer Bradley "The Mists of Avalon" so she knew all about the tattoo. "You are an Avalon priestess?" Sookie asked. Sarin smiled "Yes, I am also considered a Valhalla priestess as well just like my mother." Sookie felt like her head was spinning a book she read and enjoyed was not entirely fiction. Sookie gasped "Oh my god." "Don't worry Mama will explain everything to you" Sarin said.
"Nyla wants you to be taught by the best. And the best is my Aud and my Sarin." Eric said putting his arm around Sarin to squeeze her. "Let's go into the back of the house and join everybody. Alcide you are more than welcomed to have some Swedish food. Believe me it is very good despite what my vamp children say what it smells like." Eric said. Alcide chuckled taking Sookie's hand to follow Eric and Sarin into the back. Bill and Eric were chatting away about vampire politics. Sookie could hear Sarin say to her father and the King "Oh I'm staying out of this conversation. Kris this is right up your alley." "What?" Kris said. "Daddy and the King are talking vampire politics." Sarin said giggling. Bill said "I wasn't expecting to see you Kris until the Summit in Philadelphia" Bill continued "Sookie, Kris is a Civil Rights attorney mostly dealing with vampire and sup rights. It was because of him Pennsylvania didn't have the large scale Hep-V scare like we did here in Louisiana."
"How did you do that Kris?"Sookie said. "I went to the King of Pennsylvania and he was able to find another one of the scientists who developed the synthetic blood formula. To which I, Mama, Adrian my twin brother, and Sarin donated our blood for them to replicate. Of course the fairy essence in our blood could not be replicated but all the same they synthesized it and bottled the blood to be distributed to our State's vampire population." Kris explained. "I was able to convince the law makers in Harrisburg to boycott any sales of Tru Blood in the entire State due to the Hep-V outbreak." Kris continued.
Alcide asked "Why didn't other state and kingdoms ask to use your bottle blood?" "That's a good question. Honestly Alcide I don't know. I was able to convince the other Mid-Atlantic States to use our bottled blood. I did try to appeal to the highly vamp populated States in the South but they rejected it." Kris said honestly puzzled. "Maybe I can answer that. The late Governor didn't want to help the vampire population he wanted to get rid of all of us so when the Governor of Pennsylvania and Kris offered their solution Governor Burrell turned it down." Bill said and he looked over to Willa who just shook her head in disgust. "I forgot Willa I'm sorry we are speaking ill of your father." Bill said apologizing. "No your Majesty you are absolutely right my father was a good man at one time. I think him getting involved with that stupid bitch Sarah was his down fall." Willa said. "Anyway that is the past and I have a wonderful family now with a great support system. I am the happiest I have ever been truthfully." Willa said with a big smile. Eric came over and kissed his child on her forehead gently at the same time rubbing her back.
Sookie walked even more into the kitchen/ living room area she looked over to see a beautiful woman with long curly strawberry blonde hair at the stove cooking. This woman was older she looked to be about thirty-five years-old but she did not have one wrinkle on her porcelain face. She wasn't a tall woman but she had a sexy curvy body with very large beautiful breasts. The older woman was wearing a white tank top with a pair of blue jeans. She was heavily tattooed but the skin art on her body was just breathtakingly beautiful. Eric took Sookie by the hand and walked over to the woman. "Sookie this is my wife Aud. Aud this Sookie Stackhouse Nyla's granddaughter." Eric said. The woman placed her hand out to shake "Hello dear call me Amelia. My gorgeous husband forgets I have to be called Amelia." the woman laughed. Eric scoffed "I didn't forget I refuse to call you that you are my Aud not Amelia I could care less about exposure." Amelia just shook her like "Why does that not surprise me."
"Exposure?" Sookie asked. "Yes my dear I am a guide fairy and what my husband seems to not realize is that his Aud died almost thousand years ago so for me to go around calling myself Aud Bjur Nordholm my work as a guide for supes would be exposed which would put a target on my back. Mostly the name change was because they didn't want Eric to know I was alive." Amelia said. "But you used Eric's last name?" Sookie asked. "Yes I did that was because at the time vampires were not out of the coffin yet. I could get away with it. Most of my charges lived in northern states so the chance of me and Eric running into each other was slim to none. Also the Vampire kingdoms I was involved with didn't tell my secret that was part of the vow they had to make to retain my services." Amelia explained.
Eric scoffed again "Fucking Vivian for putting that spell on you and the kids." "Shhhh…Eric please. Sookie maybe you and I could go somewhere to speak in private because this conversation seemed to be ticking my hubby off" Amelia said. Eric said maybe a little irritated "You two can talk in my home office babe." "That sounds really good sweetie" Amelia agreed kissing Eric trying to sooth him. Amelia gently took Sookie by the hand and led her to Eric's office at the same time saying "Anyone that is hungry go ahead and get a plate. Eat." Amelia looked at Pam, Willa, and Tara saying to them "No more bitching about the smell you three." To which Amelia giggled and the three vampires did as well. "Still smells like rotten fish Mama." Tara exclaimed sarcastically laughing. Amelia looked at Tara and jokingly said "Keep it up you I'll zap your butt." Tara laugh so hard she snorted a bit.
