I am writing several different POV's for this story. Its a little difficult to write from Erics POV. He's definitely had longer to develop his thought process then I have. I hope you guys enjoy reading this and I will update again soon. Thanks!

Erics POV

Fucking Sookie Stackhouse. In regaining my memories, I have finally begun to understand the confusion I felt whenever I was around her. Not only my own confusion, but hers as well. When I was at my most vulnerable, this woman took me in, and kept me safe. The return of my memories, during a hostile take over, was at the very least a poor time. After entertaining the Nevada vampires and trying to keep Sookie as far away from them as possible, I finally can try and come to a solution for our strange predicament. That is if Sookie would fucking talk to me. Talking has never been one of her strong suits. It was easy for her when I was amnesic, I was so confused and greatly comforted by her. Now I was, well myself, and Sookie didn't understand me. She hated the vampire politics and she was constantly fighting me. Maybe she just loved me when it was easy to and now that it was absolutely me she couldn't handle it. I suppose I would just have to let the events unfold as they may. I have other items to attend to as well. I needed to find Pam and see if she knew if Victor had truly left. I was hoping he would stay in New Orleans like he was supposed to. I do know Victor and he is not the type to build anything for himself. I could foresee him trying to take over in Shreveport. My area was very lucrative

and New Orleans had been destroyed. Victor could try to remove me and run Louisiana from my area. He was very cunning, but also very careless and I doubt that a genuine idea had ever crossed his conniving brain. Victor knew very little of Sookie, but I was very sure the King would inform Victor of her saving him. She could be reluctant all she wanted, but eventually we would have to discuss a number of things. She was steadily becoming less and less safe.

There was a knock at my door, "Enter", I lifted my head toward the door and Pam walked in. She was grinning and about to speak when I cut her off. "Has Victor truly left the area?" Her grin only slightly faltered, "Yes Victor is in New Orleans assessing the damage. Hopefully it will keep him occupied for some time." She appeared to be overly pleased with herself over something. "Pam, what have you done?" "Absolutely nothing Eric, why would I do anything?" I gave her a long look, and she just smirked. "Sookie seemed to think the human you were meeting with was something other. She said she couldn't read her. I don't know if that means anything really. She did seemed bothered by it, and your conversation with her." Pam's smirk has faded by now. "What did the woman want anyway?"

I had almost forgotten about her. "Oh, she was looking for approval to open a vampire business in the area. I should have had her meet with you, the idea is an odd one. I'll probably have you look into it when she opens her business. We may actually be able to use her services if its lucrative." Pam nodded, and was heading back towards the bar when I stopped her and informed her I was heading home. I needed time to think about how to handle my and Sookies situation. Also, I needed to stay ahead of whatever the King or Victor may want from her. Plotting was something I was good at, and I enjoyed it almost as much as fighting. Though nothing is exciting as removing an enemies head.
