OH MY GOSH, the reviews I am getting. This brings me back to the first I wrote years ago.
"You should really listen to the lady Billy Boy" The tall blonde man said with a smirk.
Bill quickly stood back up and bowed slightly to the blonde guy "Sheriff"
"Oh, so this was the vampire sheriff of area five. Uncle never said he was a sexy sheriff"
Sexy sheriff began talking after Bill's greeting. "Explain to me Compton why you did not inform me that there were drainers in my area."
Bill's eyes widen in surprise. He really needs to get a better poker face. "I did not think you needed to know since they arrested."
"That was your first mistake, you aren't supposed to think but follow my rules and report everything. Understood"
"Yes, Sheriff but how did you know about the drainers."
Sexy Sheriff smirked "Do you honestly belief that I don't have informants? That is the difference between you and me Billy Boy."
I had to hold in a giggle at those words. Bill grimaced and openly glared at him.
"Now, tell me exactly what happened and why you were getting ready to kill evidence?"
Bill quickly explained that he was on his way here to get a true blood when he found the Rats attacking us and he interfered before we could get seriously hurt.
"Oh really, is this true shifter?" Sexy addressed Sam
Oh, right I already know about Sam's Supe status. He doesn't know I know though. I know he also has feelings for me but that ship sailed for him when he didn't even bother to tell me about him being a shifter when he knew I was a telepath. I trusted him with my secret but he clearly doesn't have the same amount for me.
"Northman" Sam growled
Now I had a last name to go with the sexy vampire sheriff. "I have no idea of Bill's motives but I was the one who caught the drainers last night and they escaped from jail earlier tonight. They were clearly getting revenge."
"They escaped… I find it highly unlikely that they could have escaped on their own."
Northman looked down at Denise who he had dropped and over at Mack who was still curled up in a ball at Sam's feet. They did look quite sorry looking.
He reached down and picked up Denise who had her eyes squeezed shut in terror. "Look at me human." He purred
I shivered at the tone but focused on Denise's thoughts, realizing he was about to glamour her. "How did you escape from jail." He asked in a sensual tone.
"We stole the guard's keys and then snuck out when they changed shifts."
Denise was lying, well she wasn't really but the memory in her head was hazy. Uncle told me hazy memories mean the person has been glamoured. None glamoured memories will be clear and won't be disjointed as if someone doesn't really belief what they are remembering.
I coughed, Sheriff Northman turned to face me when I did. "You have something to say?" he asked
I looked into his eyes, and was taken back by the color. They reminded me of the sea they were so blue. I wondered for a moment what he thought my blue eyes reminded him of but shook that thought off to answer his question.
"She is lying" I said
"Oh, and how do you know that?" He asked
"Everyone knows that the Rats together don't have enough brain cells to rub together to come up with such an intelligent plan." I said with my arms crossed against my chest as I glared at Denise.
"Shut up Bitch" Denise yelled at me
I didn't respond but just looked at the Sheriff. Hoping he would believe me.
"What is your name human?" He asked me
I saw Sam frown out of the corner of my eye but I ignored him
"Sookie Stackhouse"
"Sookie, hmm that is an unusual name. It must be short for something, yes?"
"Um, yeah Susannah" I replied shocked, he was the first person or vampire to ask me that.
"Nice to meet you Susannah" I'm Eric Northman
For some reason, him calling me Susannah didn't annoy me as it usually would if someone would call me that but being raised to be polite my gran taught me I corrected him.
"Sookie, please."
He smiled at me and nodded "Sookie"
I blushed and looked down. I could have sworn I heard him chuckle.
"Now, I am inclined to believe that Sookie is telling me the truth. Compton, you are to report to Fangtasia after it closes. If you do not your punishment will be far worse than it would have been."
Bill nodded and then ran off at vampire speed. Eric walked over and grabbed Mack in his other hand. Then he looked over at me with a smirk and sparkling eyes filled with mischief.
"Feel free to stop by Fangtasia anytime you wish Ms. Stackhouse." He said and then he too vamped away
I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. "Be careful of Northman Sookie." Sam said suddenly
I turned to him with a confused look on my face. "why?"
"Just be careful." He said then walked away
I sighed and got into my car and drove home. Pulling into the driveway I saw the light was on. Uncle was still awake. I cut the engine and hurried inside the house. Closing and locking the door I walked into the living finding my Uncle Fin reading a novel.
He closed his book and looked up at me with a smile. "Busy night." It wasn't a question. I smiled and sat on the couch next to him.
"I met Sheriff Eric Northman. You have been holding out on me Uncle. You didn't tell me how sexy he was."
My Uncle threw his head back and laughed "Yes, I guess I didn't leave such information out." He chuckled
I huffed and leaned back on the couch. "He invited me to Fangtasia." My Uncle looked at me with knowing eyes
"You are going to go."
"Yes, I don't know why but I am already excited about the next time I can see him and I only spoke to him for a few minutes."
Uncle Fin looked at me with a curious look. "Tell me something my dear when you think about him what do you feel?"
"I don't know, happiness, excitement, lust, peace, courage. A bunch of good emotions"
Uncle nodded and smiled "Do you remember how I told you, that you have always been a special child since childhood."
"Yeah, because of my Fae status." I said
"No, my little light. Much more than that, your spark is the largest and brightest spark I have ever seen. Even though you are only one-eight Fae. You have the potential to have the same abilities as a full Fae. All, I can say is to follow your instincts they will help you make the correct decisions." Uncle then took my face into his hands tilted my head down and kissed my forehead.
"Get to bed, I will see you in the morning." I nodded my head and climbed up the stairs
Before I made it all the way I swear I heard my uncle whisper "It has begun."
Earlier that night
"This is Northman"
"Eric, its Fintan"
"What do you want?"
"I just thought you would be interested in the fact that last night. Two drainers attack a vampire by the name Bill Compton and then were taken to Jail."
There was silence for a minute before there was a chuckle "Oh, Billy Boy you never cease to give me entertainment."
"Your information is most interesting. I will be arriving in a few minutes."
Fintan stood outside his family's home waiting on the Northman. He felt the presence of a vampire get closer before he appeared in front of him.
"Names?"
"Denise and Mack Rattray. Unfortunately, the escaped from Jail a few hours ago. I fear they will probably looking for revenge. If I am right, they will be heading towards Merlotte's.
"The Shifters." Eric nodded he turned to head that way before turning back to Fintan.
"The request you asked of me all those years ago. Will I need to go against it tonight?"
"No, she should be just fine. I have trained her to be the best."
Eric nodded and then took off.
When Eric arrives at Merlotte's
I watched as the shifter and what I could only describe as a goddess were defending themselves against the drainers. I felt Compton run by me. The fool didn't even notice I was here. He was such a sorry excuse for a vampire. Why Lorena turned him I will never understand. I watched until I realized Compton was going to kill the drainer. I stopped him and then got information I needed from Compton. When Sookie spoke up I thought my fangs were going to drop in lust. Her arms were pushing her breast up and her sky-blue eyes were glowing. The moonlight shown down on her tan skin making it look like she was glowing.
She had really grown since the last time I had seen her. She was sixteen when she started her training and I no longer needed to keep an eye on her when she went out at night. She obviously had been using her Telepathy when I glamoured the human. I had to pretend I didn't know who she was, but damn Fintan had been holding out on me. He didn't tell me his niece had grown to be my definition of a perfect woman. I invited her to Fangtasia before taking the drainers back to Fangtasia with me.
"Pam", I spoke as I walked down into the basement.
She appeared at the bottom of the stairs as I chained the humans. "They have been glamoured, I suspect it is Compton's work. He will be here in an hour. Entertain him for me will you." I smirked at her as I walked back upstairs and into my office.
I started on my paper work when exactly an hour later Compton arrived. Pam lead him down into the basement and quickly chained him in silver to the wall. I smirked when I heard him scream as she began her entertainment. After another hour went by I walked into the basement to see how well Pam was entertaining Compton.
"Pam" I spoke up
"Master, I have entertained Billy as you asked me to." She said with a smile of glee on her face.
I looked over at Compton who had slowly healing sliver wounds. "Yes, I see that."
"Now, Compton, mind telling me why you glamoured these two humans?" I asked as I grabbed the women by the hair who clearly had a look of fear on her face.
Bill glared at me but kept his mouth shut. I sighed, Lorena had taught her progeny to well. It will take a while more of Pam's entertainment to get him to talk.
"Let me know when you are willing to talk Compton, this is your punishment for not informing me about the drainers and then glamouring them to cover up your involvement in helping them escape from Jail."
Compton's mouth remained closed. I smirked he always gave me such entertainment. "Pam" I said as I walked out again.
I walked into my office where I heard my phone ringing.
"Northman" I answered
"You have her under your spell as usual." Fintan said
I chuckled "Yes, well I can't say she hasn't affected me either." I said
"She will be at Fangtasia tomorrow night." Fintan told me
"Oh, are your bringing her?" I asked
"No, I just have a feeling she will be there." Fintan said before hanging up
That Fairy cryptic as usual. He was the same all those years ago when he asked me to watch over Sookie.
Sookie's Ninth Birthday
"Northman, I'm calling in that favor you owe me." Fintan said as he stood in front of me
"What is it?"
"I want you to watch over my niece from a distance. She hasn't quite figured out how to protect her mind from other thoughts and she isn't old enough for me to train her on how to protect herself. Do this for me and I will have considered your debt paid."
I stared into the fairies' eyes to gauge his truthfulness. When I decided, he was telling me the truth I nodded. I followed him back to Bon tempts. He invited me and brought me up to a bedroom. A little blonde angel was the only way to describe how she looked.
"Beautiful, isn't she?" Fintan asked
All I could do was nod
"Then you will protect her." Fintan stated
"Yes, for as long as you need me too."
"You, must not reveal yourself to her or tell her you are protecting her. One day you will meet her but even then, you must not tell her that you already know who she is."
I nodded, from that day on I watched over Sookie. A silent shadow to all her sleepovers and her playing outside at night with her friends. It was on her sixteenth birthday, the last night I would need to protect her. She walked outside and as if she was dancing to a tune only she could hear. She stared dancing the moon light shining down on her as if it was a spotlight. From that night on. I decided to make her MINE.
Oh, Uncle Fin is keeping secrets. I wonder what is going to happen. Anyone else happy to have the Sexy Sheriff Eric Northman on the scene!
