Disclaimer: As before I own nothing but I do like to play.

Cat: So Eric how do you feel the story is going so far?

Eric: Not bad but could you please write in there somewhere that I only said what I said to Alcide so it doesn't look so bad for me. I mean come on I am Eric Northman. (showing his fangs)

Cat: (chuckles) We will see. "

Previously,

What is she that she must be protected?" I asked just wanting more details on this woman who I was going to protect.

"Why don't I get her in here so that she can tell you herself."

I nodded waiting to see who it was.

Chapter 2

APOV

I heard two people in the hallway, I wasn't sure who they were. I knew Eric heard them too because he told them to come in before they could even knock.

"Alcide Herveaux, I would like you to meet Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton." Eric said tersely. I could tell that he didn't like Bill, I wasn't sure about Sookie though. I could smell Bill all over Sookie so I knew it wasn't her that I was here for.

"Sookie, this is Alcide. I am hiring him to watch over Bella during the day. So he will be at your home." He explained to her.

"Come in Bella," he said. In walked the brunette that was at the bar. The one that flipped off Eric. She went and sat on his lap but not before I caught a scent of her arousal once again. Damn she was fine and if my nose is right she is still a virgin. Why hasn't Eric tapped that? Bullshit on the sister thing. Especially when she is sitting on his lap and he looks a little uncomfortable.

"Isabella Swan this is Alcide Herveaux your new daytime bodyguard." He explained to her. I noticed her eyes travel down my body and her arousal became more prominent. Enough so that the fangs ran down. She noticed what happened, blushed and put her head into Eric's chest.

Just then two more vamps walked in, "Pam and Godric this is Alcide he will be Bella's guard during the day."

"Can he do it at night too? Preferably in my bed? Naked?" Bella mumbled forgetting that she was in a room full of vamps and a werewolf.

We all chuckled. Cue the blush. This time she got up and left the room.

"Alcide, I need to know your decision." Eric said.

"Yes, I will do it." I told him wanting to start right away. I never wanted to actually leave her side ever. I felt something with her that I didn't feel with anyone ever. Not even Debbie.

BPOV

How embarrassing! I can't believe that I just said that especially in a room full of supes. What was I thinking? Oh yeah I wasn't thinking well I was but I guess I forgot the verbal filter.

I decided that I was going to go home. But I came with Sookie and Bill so I had to wait for them.

Pam came out of the office, she walked towards me.

"Bella, come for a walk. So we can talk okay." Pam was like the big sister I never had. I never felt like this with Alice and well Rose yeah no. I tried with Sookie for awhile, but that didn't work out because everything I told her she ended up telling Bill.

I followed her outside, we stayed pretty close to the bar. Not wanting to be too far in case trouble found us, with it more often than not found me.

"What was going on in there?" she asked putting an arm around me.

"Like you don't know," I glared at her.

"Okay I know what was going on. But can you explain it to me." She chuckled.

"I don't know I saw him at the bar and I got incredibly turned on and then when I went to the office he was sitting there and well you know the rest." I blushed again.

"Yeah I know. But what about not getting involved with supes again." She asked.

"I don't know. Wanting to jump his bones does not mean I want to get involved with him Pamela." I explained to her.

"Bella if all you wanted was a one night stand you could have had any of the men in here. Especially Eric and Godric. They have both wanted to jump you since you walked in here with Sookie." She said to me.

True, its not like neither of them tried. Don't get me wrong if I was that type of girl I probably so would have done one or the other or both but I'm not.

"So tell me honestly what happened in there." She said pulling me into a hug.

This was my Pam, warm and cuddly not like the bitch she plays to everyone else.

"I don't know it was like a pull towards him. Like what you guys would call a mate or what the wolves would call an imprint." I told her. Confused at why I felt that way. I had turned off the part of me that was attracted to supes which is why no sex with Eric or Godric. It was just something I could do considering I was with them all the time. At work and at play. With Alcide it was turned back on.

I need to talk to my grandfather about this.

"Thanks Pam." I told her giving her a quick hug. Bill and Sookie came out at that moment, followed closely by Eric, Godric and Alcide.

"Bella we need to get home, we both have the early shift tomorrow." Sookie told me and headed towards the car with Bill following her.

Eric and Godric both came over to me, "You okay little one." They asked at the same time, which made me smile.

"Yes just a little embarrassed." I explained giving them both hugs good night as I would probably be seeing them tomorrow night.

Alcide walked over to me, took my hand in his and pulled it too his lips. "It was a pleasure to meet you Bella, I look forward to guarding you. I will see you in the morning." He kissed my hand, I finally looked up and found his eyes staring straight into mine.

APOV

Damn she was beautiful, I just wanted to grab her, take her and make sweet love to her. But she wasn't ready for that. I don't think the vampires she is protected by would like that too much either. I actually think that they would rip me apart.

"Bella we need to leave." Bill whined. Fuck no wonder Northman hated him, he was annoying .

"Good night. Bella." I told her letting go of her hand.

"Good night, Alcide." She whispered and blushed. She quickly turned to around and got into the back seat of the car.

I watched until she pulled away.

Then I turned to the vampires watching me, and our little interaction.

"All I can say were if you hurt her. I will not hesitate to hurt you." Eric told me, Godric nodded in agreement and they both went inside.

Pam just came up to me. "What they said goes double for me. Remember this that is my little sister and she has been hurt by our kind before. So be careful with her." I nodded.

I was actually more afraid of this female vamp than I was of the ancients.

Actually Bella looks like she could pack a punch too. If the way Bill looks at her like he's afraid of her then I wonder.

I will have to ask her about that tomorrow when we can hopefully talk.

I left Fangtasia and went home. I needed to call my father and tell him not to expect me at work for awhile, well in the office. I could do a lot of stuff by e-mail and phone so that wouldn't be a problem.

I let myself in and that's when I smelled her, "Hey baby. Miss me."
