I looked at the vampire Viking, also known as Eric, in shock. What does he mean by what am I? I'm obviously a human girl!

"What does it look like I am? Now get off!"

He growled and barred his fangs at me. I tried not to show my fear, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of knowing that he scares me.

"You're more than human."

I shook my head, denying it. I AM just human. There's no way I'm more than human. He's just an insane vampire, that's all.

"No, I'm not. Let me go."

He growled again and moved his face to my neck. I stood there frozen, as I felt his fangs scrape across my skin. Fear pulsed through me and I could feel how sharp they were.

"No!" I cried.

Eric was pushed away from me by some invisible force. I stared at him in shock. Did I just do that? He stood up and looked at me in amusement.

"Still think you're just human?"

I backed out of the kitchen before making a run for it. I ran out of the front door and into the woods. I was hoping he wouldn't follow me. As I was running, I patted my pockets for my cell phone; only to realize I left it at the house. Anything else care to go wrong?

I stopped for a second to catch my breath. I felt like my lungs were going to burst out of me. I'm definitely out of shape and in the middle of the woods. I also think I just hear a growl. Oh, come on. I was being sarcastic when I asked if anything else cared to go wrong.

I took off running again, as fast as my legs would take me. I heard running behind me and tried to outrun whoever or whatever it was. I only ran for a few more minutes before a force knocked me onto the ground. I screamed and turned over on my back to see a giant wolf was hovering over me.

Holy fuck! Its claws tore into my stomach and down to my thigh. I screamed at the top of my lungs in pain. I hit the wolf on its nose, hoping it would just go away. It growled at me and but into my shoulder. It felt like a bunch of razors were going through my shoulder blade.

I felt myself losing blood and quickly. It was starting to get harder for me to breath. Just when I thought I was going to die, the wolf ran away. I used all my will power to get back on my feet and run…well limp away as fast as I could. With each step, I winced in pain.

My legs started to feel weaker and weaker before my knees just gave out and I fell. I grunted in pain as I hit the ground. I put one hand over the slashes on my stomach to try and stop the bleeding, but I was bleeding out so fast.

I was struggling to keep my eyes opened, my vision was hazy. I felt someone or something pick me up in their arms.

"You'll be okay."

That voice calmed me down yet made me afraid at the same time. Even though I've only heard that voice once, I recognized it right away.

"Eric?"

I wasn't sure if I wanted to die just yet. Something inside me wanted to live and see why Eric was here rescuing me…if that's even what he's doing. I didn't have time to think through that last scenario as my vision faded to black and I could no longer see.

I may not have been able to see, but I was able to feel. I felt the pain as I was sat down on something. I was also aware that I was against someone's muscular chest or something similar. I felt someone grab my hands so that I couldn't move them. At this point, I was freaking out.

"Please, don't. Please."

My voice was weak and I knew I was probably crying for the first time since my mother died. I felt something go over my mouth and tried to push it away only to realize my hands weren't free. Someone stroked my hair, causing me to whimper.

"Drink, kattunge." (Kitten)

That was Eric's voice. So he's still with me? I was afraid to listen to him though. I didn't understand why he got me out of the woods.

"Trust me."

His warm breath tickled against my ear. Should I trust him? I finally gave in and opened my mouth to let the liquid into me. Once I could actually taste the liquid, I took a large amount and opened my eyes to see I was drinking from his wrist. I was drinking his blood.

For some reason, this didn't bother me. I heard Eric groan as I bit into his wrist to get more of his delicious blood. I could feel something against my bottom. It didn't take a genius to figure out that he enjoyed me drinking from him. He pulled away, almost reluctantly. Once I realized what just happened, I jumped out of his arms and off the couch.

"You gave me your blood?!"

I backed away from the couch, petrified. What does it mean when a vampire gives you their blood? It must have an effect or something.

"You didn't seem to mind. You were quite greedy actually."

The way he said it definitely had an effect on me, but I didn't show it. I hardly ever show how I feel. I then noticed that I had jumped out of his arms rather quickly even though I was just attacked by a wolf less than ten minutes ago. I pulled already tattered shirt up, just enough to expose my tummy.

I ran my fingers over all the blood that was on my stomach, looking for the gashes I know I HAD. I didn't have any now though. That can only mean one thing, right?

"You healed me."

I looked up at him to see him smirking. He got off the couch and stood close to me. I took a step back before something clicked in my brain.

"What else will your blood o to me?"

I thought about running to the bathroom and puking his blood out of my system, but I don't think that would help. I'm pretty sure it's too late now.

"Let's just say I'll always be able to find you and I'll always know how you feel."

I shook my head. No. No one can know how I feel. I don't want to feel vulnerable. I don't like people knowing my weaknesses. I made a run for the door, but the second I got it opened he shut it with one of his large hands. He had me trapped against the door with no way of escaping.

"Let me go, Eric."

He rolled his eyes at me and chuckled. If I wasn't so scared right now, I would have bitch slapped him, like he deserved. Saving my life or not, I don't appreciate being fed his blood without knowing ALL the side effects!

"You are now in my debt."

He grabbed onto my arm, as if I was going to run, and led me out of what looked to be a bar. Once we were outside I look at a sign that read, 'Fangtasia'. Kind of a weird name if you ask me, but it's actually kind of hilarious.

He led me to a Porsche boxster. It was actually a pretty cool car. I wonder what Mr. Uncool Viking vampire is doing with it. I smirked lightly at me thoughts as he silently drove me back to Sookie's.

"I will see you soon, kattunge."

~A/N – Just letting you guys know that the word 'kattunge' is probably going to be used A LOT throughout this story. :b. I will put up a reminder of what it means every once in a while. All it means is 'Kitten' which is Eric's nickname for Katerina. I hope you guys are enjoying the story so far. :).
