Whoa guys, I'm lovin the love. All of you are probably bursting to find out how this talk goes. I'm not going to waste any more of your guy's time. I just have something to say. I love all the feedback I'm getting. So far everyone that review told me the story was great and they can't wait for more, and honestly I've never been more excited about anything! But one time someone reviewed telling me that Sookie could've used more humor and less anger and you would think someone would be annoyed. I wasn't, I FUCKING LOVED IT! I mean no one gets anywhere without criticism. That was like the best review I've ever got because now I know that I got to dial the prudeness down a little when it comes to Sookie. I honestly had no idea how to go about that first meeting but I wanted it to happen and DAMN IT, IT WAS DECENT! Haha. I'm done now…
Also I am curious as to the age group that is reading my story, if it isn't too personal I'd like to know, please. :)

Eric POV
I snapped opened my eyes right as the sun had fully set. I took in my surroundings of the room I'd been assigned to and stood up. I felt my fangs throb and my throat scorched with hunger as I got dressed. I hadn't eaten or had sex since I found out about the marriage. I was so angry about that if I had eaten then I would've killed everyone in sight. I needed to take the edge off though. I am now willing to risk it. I needed to feed, fuck and get dressed before 11:00pm, which was when I'd meet the Fairy Princess. So walked out my room dead set on just doing that with the first girl I see.
As I was about to walk around a corner, it took me 5 seconds to fully gaze at a girl who wasn't looking in front of her as she walked. She had gold waves running to the middle of her back and her skin was bronzed to perfection. She wore a white dress with red flowers spotted all over it that went down to her knees and clung to all the right curves. In a word she was fuckable.
As she walked she ran into me and I reached out to make sure she didn't fall. She looked up at me and I saw that she had sky blue eyes and plump pouty lips.
"Oh sorry, my bad." she said in a shaky voice.
I smirked and asked, "What are you doing wandering these halls?"
"Just wondering around, it got pretty boring waiting in my room until nightfall." she said in a more stable voice.
"Well next time maybe you should wait in your room, that way you wouldn't bump into anyone." I said in a voice I thought was charming.
"Well maybe next time you should watch where you're going."
I chuckled. "You were the one who wasn't looking in front of you; tell me is the wall really that interesting?"
"So you saw me then? And you didn't move out of the way? If you did we wouldn't having this argument."
But then I wouldn't have the pleasure of talking to you, is what I said in my mind, sarcastically.
Out loud I said, "Exactly. I wanted to talk to you. I thought that maybe I could invite you back to my room."
She snorted softly. "And you're still trying?"
"Well, yes."
A look of irritation flashed through her blue eyes and she reached up and slapped me clear across the face. Then she walked around me telling me how nice it was to meet me. Usually I would be infuriated. No one has ever slapped me. Not even when I was a child. Yes I fought with people but I was never slapped. This time though, I merely chuckled, and continued on with my search of dinner.
Eventually I found someone very tasty and when I was done, I felt much better. I started getting dressed and just as I was about to leave Pam walked in.
"My, my, you clean up nice Northman."
"Thank you, Pam, but I have no time for flattery; Godric will be expecting me to meet him in the ballroom soon."
I got to the ballroom just as Godric did. "Eric, are you ready to meet your future bride?"
"No, but I guess I don't have much of a choice."
"You'll always have a choice, my child. I have not lived as long as I have and done what I have done for you, to not live the rest of your undead existence happily."
"Of course, Master."
He glanced behind me and smiled. "Niall, wonderful to see you again. This must be the Princess."
I turned around and stood before me was the girl I first ran into in the hall. Only this time her hair was up showing off her neck, and she was wearing a long blue dress that made her blue eyes pop.
I smiled politely, and just slightly bowed my head. "Your majesty, Princess." I said to both of them.
"Eric, nice to meet you." The princess said reaching out to shake my hand.
"The pleasure is all mine." I said.
"Sookie." Niall said to her, nudging her just slightly.
She nodded and gave me a wide smile.
I reached out took her hand and kissed it. "May I please speak to my future bride alone?"
"Yes." Niall said while Godric said, "Of course."
I led her to the left of the ballroom entrance by her hand and said, "Why didn't you tell me you were the princess?"
"Why didn't you tell me you were the prince?"
"I didn't think it was necessary, I never thought I'd see you again."
"Well looks like we were both wrong."
"I'm sorry for being so rude to you earlier. I was hungry."
"Well I don't act like that when I'm hungry."
"Then you have never felt the hunger I have." I said amused. Music started playing in the background and I had an idea. "Let me make it up to you; dance with me?" I asked, holding out my hand for her to take.
She narrowed her eyes at me in suspicion but took my hand anyway. I led her out to the middle of the ballroom and slid my hand to the middle of her back, pulling her close to me. She put her hand on my shoulder and with our hands still clasped together we danced.
"So how do you feel about us getting married?" I asked easing into the conversation.
"I hate it, of course. No one likes being forced into things they don't want, but if it means keeping everyone safe, then I'll do it."
"Excuse my bluntness, but what exactly is our relationship going to be?"
"What do you mean by that?" she asked feigning innocence. "Eric, my grandfather has told me a lot about you. I know your reputation. Are you asking me if I'm going to let you keep sleeping around with whores?"
I looked at her in surprise. "Actually, yes, that was one of the things I was asking you. More to the point, though, is us getting married changing anything in our everyday lives? Besides us living together, of course."
"Yes." she said, determination written all over her face. "I'm gonna let you sleep around if you choose to but only if it has to do with feeding. That's probably just about as much as you have sex anyway, but it'll make me feel like I'm not being cheated on."
"Am I to show you the same courtesy?" I asked, thinking she has probably been with a lot of men already and doesn't want to change it.
"Obviously you have some interest in having sex with me, if you hit on me earlier, but I have no interest in having sex with you. So yes that is our deal."
I felt a tap at my shoulder and I turned to see Godric at my side. "May I please dance with the princess?"
I nodded and stepped away. He took her in his arms as I walked toward Pam and Nora.
"Godric must've known how spectacular she looks to even think about you two getting married." Pam said, eyeing Sookie. "What I wouldn't give to have a whack at her."
"If she is inclined to do anything with you, then she is all yours." I said chuckling.
She looked at me sharply, "Eric I would watch what the fuck you say. If in a few days you feel the same, then I will have at it, but for now I will let it slide."
"Pamela, what makes you say this?" I asked, curious.
"It's just that if I make a move now and later on you end up having feelings for her, I will most likely be punished."
"This is me you're talking to, I don't form feelings."
"But you can become very protective." Nora said, butting in.
"Nora-"
"I think I will go talk to her." Pam said walking over to Godric and Sookie, asking to dance with her.
"Eric, why is it so hard to believe that you could possibly have feelings for this woman. Everyone may think you're heartless but I don't and if you show you real self to this woman she won't either." Nora said, before a man came up and asked her to dance. I watched her walk away then glanced over at Pam and Sookie. Something Pam has said to her made her blush a deep red. It ran so far down that I wondered where else it reached.
"She is beautiful, isn't she?" I heard a voice say nearby. I glanced behind me and saw Niall looking at Sookie too, but he was obviously talking to me.
"Yes, she is. I'm honored that she and I are getting married."
"Stop with the pleasantries Northman. I love my great granddaughter very much and I am not going to hand her off to you unless, I get something from you." He said now looking at me square in the eyes.
"I want you to make an oath to me. Swear that you will protect her with your life."
"Niall, with all due respect-"
"Swear it, Eric." He said reaching out his hand.
I rolled my eyes but I decided to humor him. "I swear that I will protect Princess Sookie with my life, for as long as we both shall live." I said reaching out to shake his hand. Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist and sliced one of my fingers with a small knife. Blood poured out of it and more did as he squeezed it. He pressed his bleeding thumb to my finger, muttered a few unrecognizable words, and then, suddenly I felt a rush of power take over me. When it was over, he whispered, "Your oath is now bound by blood." And he walked away.
WHAT THE FUCK? Now not only do I have to marry her against my will but I have to protect her, too? Of course I knew that to some degree I had to make sure she wouldn't be damaged but I would kill her before I risked my life. BUT NOW… now I HAVE to risk my life. DAMN IT!
Ok so I recently watched a movie called Zoolander and it took me a minute but I realized Alexander Skarsgard is in it. I was like holy shit he acts like an idiot model but is still totally hot and his hair looks more golden orange then golden yellow. You guys gotta watch that movie.
