Hey there guys.

I just want you guys to know I actually love Hoyt, I had no intention of making him a bad guy so please don't hate him. That said, he was the only character i thought of who could give Pam doubts and cause trouble for their relationship. Someone described him as a troublemaker. I say yes he is, but unintentionally. He's a big southern softie who I can't stay mad at :D

Anyway Chapter 4. Warning: Ruthless Sookie towards the end. Enjoy!


Sookie sat at the vanity of the bedroom, brushing her hair. She sat completely naked as she ran the comb for her blond mane, without a care in the world. Eric lounged back on the bed, as naked as she was as he watched her brush her hair. They clothes were scattered about both the room and the stairs. It was only a couple of hours before dawn and they had been at it like animals for most of the night.

They had come home from the club in a frenzy of passion, barely getting through the door before Eric had taken Sookie against the wall. After this, they had hurried upstairs and fallen into bed to continue their lovemaking. Their passion for each other was too strong, further stroked by their time spent apart and their need to please each other had simply overwhelmed them.

Eric snorted, quietly at the thought. He'd never pictured Sookie as a ravenous sex goddess. But there it was…

He smiled as she sighed, shaking her hair out and setting the brush down. She grinned at him in the mirror, watching with great appreciation as his eyes roamed over her body. His eyes focused on her ass for a second before moving to her breasts in her reflection before settling on her face again. Her eyes had travelled over his magnificent torso before meeting his gaze again. She noted the soft glow to his eyes and gave him a smiling frown.

"What?" She asked, with a giggle. She could feel his happiness in the bond and it was almost suffocating. She'd never felt such peace in him before, even at the moments where everything was fine.

"Du är Vacker." (You are beautiful) He said. She blushed and it spread down her face to her chest causing her to giggle.

"Flatterer." She responded. "You say that all the time."

"I'll always mean it as well."

"Du är galen." (You are crazy.) She said and he chuckled, moving behind her and slipping his arms round her waist. He palmed her breasts and she whimpered, her head falling back onto his shoulder as he kneaded her tender flesh, rolling her nipples between his thumb and finger.

"Endast för dig." (Only for you.) He drawled, nibbling her ear. She whined, arching her chest into his hands as he continued his ministrations.

"Eric, really? You wanna go again?" She managed as her breath hitched. "It's nearly dawn and I can barely walk as it is." He hummed in disappointment before nodding and lowering his hands from her breasts. She mewled in protest, causing him to chuckle at her and she pouted at him in the mirror. "Tease."

"Me?" he asked, before chuckling. And then he smiled. "Vad har du gjort med mig." (What have you done to me?)

"Vad tror du jag har gjort?" (What do you think I've done?) She replied, in the same language, turning around on the stool. She parted her legs so he was kneeling in between her thighs and draped her arms over his shoulders. He smiled, brushing his fingers down her beautiful cheek.

"Du har vänt ett djur till en människa igen. Du har väckt mig odöda hjärta." (You've turned a beast into a man again. You've awakened my undead heart.) She smiled, dreamily and her eyes danced as she gazed at him lovingly.

"I don't think you were ever a beast, Eric." She answered, tilted her head.

"Then you are kinder than others would be, Sookie." He sighed. "I am a monster." She shook her head.

"No, you're not. You're a survivor." He gazed at her sadly.

"And yet to survive, I've done some terrible things." He replied, lowering his eyes. "How does this not bother you?"

"I've told you before, Eric." She sighed, gazing at him. "Hur kan jag älska dig något mindre för de val du har gjort som förde dig till mig?" (How can I love you any less for the choices you've made that brought you to me?) He smiled and picked her up, gently. She smiled back, wrapping herself around him as he turned and laid her gently on the bed.

"You are my life now." He declared. She nodded.

"And you are mine." He moved to lie down behind her and she turned, so they were facing each other. Moving the discussion away from their relationship, Sookie brushed her fingers on his. "Do you think Pam and Jessica will be ok?" He thought for a moment as their fingers brushed each other.

"I do not know." He replied, finally. "Pam is in a great deal pain, even though it was a misunderstanding. She is upset, confused and angry, though I think more at Hoyt than Jessica. I think honesty is Jessica's best choice with Pam right now."

"Pam, I didn't think…I shouldn't have…"

"It's not your fault." He answered. "Hoyt should have waited for Jessica to give her explanation before doing what he did." He sighed. "We can't control the feelings of the heart, vampire or human. But he should've been willing to hear her out." She nodded.

"This from a vampire who claims he doesn't understand…" he cut her off with a searing kiss, leaving her breathless.

"What were you saying?" She blinked.

"Huh?" He chuckled and she growled, playfully. "Cheat." She accused and he laughed.

"Let us wait and see how this plays out. With any luck, we will be able to speak with Pam and Jessica."

"I hope you're right."

Jessica awoke at sundown the next evening. She still felt awful and dejected, being unable to sense Pam was doing a number on her and she sniffled, blinking back the blood tears that threatened to spill over. She gasped a little when the bed sunk down and a tender hand brushed through her hair. She turned her head to see Ethan there and smiled, half-heartedly.

"Hey."

"How are you feeling?" He asked. She sniffled and lowered her head onto the pillow. Ethan lay down behind her, spooning his adopted childe from behind as she started to weep quietly.

"I'm not feeling anything." She replied finally. "I don't know what to do. I don't know how to make this right, how to…" she choked out a sob. "I don't even how Pam's doing, she's blocked the bond. I fucking hate this!" She screamed finally. "Why did he have to do it? Why?" She closed her eyes tight.

"We do foolish things when we are in love." Ethan replied. "He realised what he'd lost when you left before and wanted to win you back. He ignored everything else, disregarded every other possible scenario in the hopes you felt the same way." He sighed, brushing his hand on her wrist, comfortingly. "You did nothing wrong…Pam will realise it when she has calmed down."

"If she does…how long will that take? A week? A month. A year? A hundred years?" Jessica demanded. "What if she just doesn't think I'm worth it now? I couldn't bare it if she…" Her maker sat up and moved around her so he was kneeling next to her and he gazed at her for a moment.

"Tell me, Jessica," he began, "when you are with Pam…how do you feel?"

"Complete." She answered. "Safe, accepted…loved."

"Did she feel the same way?"

"I think so…at least that's what I felt in the bond." He nodded.

"Now…when you think of the future…is she in it?"

"Yes."

"For how long?"

"Forever." She answered, straight away. Ethan smiled and sat down next to her.

"Then you must tell her that. Tell her what happened, tell her how you feel and tell her that she is your future." He stated, smiling. "You may be surprised how she reacts." She frowned looking at him as spoke.

"How do you know?" he smiled.

"Because…that's how I felt when I first met Selina…when I first saw her…my soul sang…" he replied. Jessica sat up, slowly and folded her knees under her. She gazed at her adopted maker for a few moments before speaking again.

"How did you meet her?" She asked. She'd never heard the story of how Ethan and Selina met. She had heard some of their stories about their travels and experiences but she had never heard of when they first saw each other.

"Well…" Ethan began, turning to gaze out the window at the moonlight as he allowed the memory to wash over.

2000 years before present day

Ethan looked down the crowded walkway. Humans moved around him and yet none of them touched him. They seemed to avoid contact with him as he began to walk slowly through the crowd. They parted like the Red Sea in front of him as he glided through them. He was dressed in completely black robes with cotton trousers as he moved calmly through the walkway, heading towards a tall majestic building, which was the equivalent of bar. He stepped out the crowd and entered the building after quickly glamouring the guard with but a glance.

The music coming from inside was slow and peaceful as he stepped serenely through the throng of bodies and found a seat in a corner. He settled down, managing to hide himself in plain sight as he scanned the multitude of humans for his meal of choice this evening. His eyes set a particularly appetising young woman, slender with long red hair and green eyes as she sat behind the brute of a man she was accompanying. Letting his energy stretch out, he stroked her senses with his mind and she turned her eyes towards him.

He heard her heart race as she saw him and her breath hitched. He smiled, his charms and ethereal beauty catching her attention almost immediately. Ethan tilted his head as she looked away only to glance back at this gorgeous man who was watching her with glowing green eyes. Ethan smirked, knowing he had her attention before standing and heading towards the back door. As he planned, her eyes followed him and he turned his head to meet her gaze. A second was all it took to the send the suggestion to her and he slipped out of the back. Sure enough, as he stepped out into night, he heard her footsteps after him and he slowly turned the corner and stood in a patch of moonlight as she came out.

The redhead turned and saw him, her eyes widening as she got a good look at his full form and she gulped. Ethan smiled again, his eyes beckoning her forward. She came towards him, obediently: entranced by his aura and his mystic. As soon as she came into range, his eyes glowed and she fell under his spell, moving towards him as if he were a long lost lover. Her arms rose and wrapped his neck as she smiled, dreamily and Ethan leaned in.

Their lips met and Ethan turned the woman and backed her into the wall, out of sight, in case her male companion came looking for her. She moaned as he lifted her skirt and cupped her sex, his mouth trailing down her neck to her pulse point. At the moment, he only wanted to feed. He didn't want to satisfy his other desires, but at the same time, he couldn't resist touching her this way. She was beautiful but more importantly, she was a virgin. Her blood alone would sate him but he would not degrade her by taking her virtue in a back alley without her, clear-headed, consent.

He petted her sex gently and her hips rose into his touch as he lowered the strap to the silk covering her shoulder. Her right breast slid free of her clothing and his other hand moved to palm into gently as she whimpered at his touch. Ethan trailed his lips to her pulse and placed his tongue there, gauging how much he could take.

Satisfied at what he found, his fangs slid out as he circled her nub and bit down gently. She gasped out in ecstasy as he pulled her virginal blood from her veins, fighting the urge to take her against the wall right there. Her body trembled as an orgasm surged through her as Ethan drank her virtue down, only taking what he would need but making sure she remained unspoiled. Sadly, she would never remember the pleasure he brought her.

After sating his thirst, he withdrew his fangs from her throat and his hand from her sex. The redhead mewled as he licked the wounds clean, closing them, and pulled the strap back up to cover her modesty once more. Meeting her gaze again, he wiped the encounter from her mind and suggested that she go home and forget about her companion. That swine was not good enough to have her.

After this was done, she walked away dreamily and he watched her go, glad to know she would be able to find a better suitor. Satisfied with his work and his meal, Ethan moved back into the hall to observe the people, as was his nature.

He was unsure how long he sat there, watching them interact, talk and dance. All he knew was that all time stopped when his eyes found something more precious, more alluring and more beautiful than anything he had ever seen before.

Ethan couldn't take his eyes off her; they rest on her like a man starved for an eternity as he took in all of her exquisite glory.

She was dressed in completely white silks that flowed around her, making her pale skin all the more dazzling. Her deep black hair fell down to her waist in long midnight waves as she sat looking over the crowd. Her dark, chocolate coloured eyes watched the people with boredom as she crossed her legs primly. Her sensual beauty was without peer, even amongst other vampires. Her body was voluptuous with curves in all the right places with the silk hugging her form snugly as she sighed.

Ethan licked his lips, a feeling he thought he had long forgotten stirring inside him as he watched her. Suddenly it was as if she felt his eyes on her and she turned to meet his gaze. Her eyes widened upon seeing him, taking in his own otherworldly beauty, her gaze roaming over him before meeting his eyes again.

It was like the rest of the world fell away as the music suddenly became louder. As one, they rose and moved towards each other. The bodies around them dissipated as they finally met in the small circle that had formed around them. They continued to gaze at each other before their hands moved. Their fingers entwined, her hand moved to his shoulder and his moved to her waist. They fell into step almost straight away, their bodies moving and circling as they just gazed at each other.

The warmth flowing through them was incredible, it was almost as if they were human again. The two just danced, forgetting the world around them. Everything else became irrelevant to them, only the two of them exited.

Ethan let out a ragged breath as he licked his lips, gazing at this beautiful and alluring creature he had just found.

"Please…" he breathed and she tilted her head, her eyes curious. "Tell me your name." She smiled, her face lighting up and becoming all the more gorgeous.

"Selina." She whispered back, though he could hear her perfectly. Her voice was seductive and alluring, with the same slight drawl as his own. Perfection. "Tell me yours."

"Ethan…" he replied, she nodded and it was almost like something was triggered. In unison, they leaned forward. It was some magnetic force drawing them together. Their lips met and a bolt of electricity shot through them. They felt it, were shocked by it and revelled in it.

It was their souls. They were soul mates.

Present day.

Ethan came out of his memory with a smile, gazing at his childe softly.

"I knew the second I saw her, Selina is my forever." He tilted his head, reaching out to take Jessica's hand. "Do you feel that way when you look at Pam?"

"Yes…" she whispered, sheepishly, looking down. He took her chin in his hand and tilted her face back up.

"Don't be embarrassed, tell her." He replied. "She will come round…I know it." She gazed at him before nodding slowly. He smiled, leaning over to kiss her forehead before standing. "Now, go change, we'll continue your instructions tonight." She nodded, going to change into her jeans and tank top as Ethan stepped out of her room. As he did so, his phone began ringing. Lifting it out to gaze at the screen, he flipped it open.

"Yes?"

"It's Northman." Eric's voice came over the phone. "How is Jessica?" Ethan noted the concern in his voice and smiled.

"She's still very upset." He informed him, briskly. "How is your childe?"

"The same…she is…in a very dark place." He listened to Eric sigh before he continued. "I apologise for her behaviour, she…isn't used to dealing with her emotions."

"I understand…" he replied. "I think they will need to talk soon, before this becomes more than just a misunderstanding."

"Agreed."

"Now, there was must another reason you are calling me." Ethan stated. "Whilst our childe's relationships issues are dire, I have a feeling there is more."

"Indeed…the witches have demanded another meeting." Eric answered.

"Tonight?"

"Yes."

"What do they hope to gain from this?" Ethan mused, angrily. A coven of witches had taken residence in Louisiana. Whilst this would never normally be troubling, they seemed to have taken an interest in Eric's business as well as the Sheriff himself. The lead witch, a woman by the name of Hallow, had shown a particularly disturbing interest in having Eric's attentions. Whilst he had spurned her twice, she had been rather adamant about pursing the Viking, even threatening him.

"I do not know, but I am at the end of my patience." Eric replied with a growl. "I will have Sookie by my side, as my bonded. She will also be there to listen into their minds." Ethan nodded.

"Why not bring your witch to the meeting as well? She is quite powerful is she not?" Ethan asked.

"Yes, but I do not wish to bring her out unless I have no other options. Besides…Sookie's abilities should suffice." Eric sighed. "I would also ask that you and Selina sit in as well."

"Very well, I will bring Jessica with me as well so she and Pam can sort out their differences after this issue is addressed."

"I agree." With that Eric hung up and Ethan was left to his thoughts. He looked up as Jessica and Selina entered.

"Change of plan?" Jessica asked, she was holding up a new dress that Selina had brought her, having overheard Ethan's conversation. It was a dark red, strapless dress that came to just above her knees. It would hug every curve of hers very comfortably but would leave little to the imagination.

"Yes, we're going to Fangtasia."

"So what do you want me to do?" Eric glanced at Sookie as she finished her make up in his office. She was dress in a beautiful white dress that came to her knees, modest but sexy as she put down her mirror, looking up at him.

"I need you to stand behind me at all times." He replied, leaning back in his chair. "You must listen carefully to what they are thinking. I do not know what they want exactly, which makes me all the more cautious." She nodded, standing up and moving in front of him.

"And if I find something?" She asked. He smiled and she grinned back, nodding. "And here I thought I would dislike our bond." He chuckled, not at all offended, as he knew what she meant. Being a modern woman, she was very independent and disliked the idea of being manipulated or becoming a kept woman.

"I want to you focus on their leader, Hallow. She has been hounding me since she arrived. I have rejected her proposals each time, but she is refusing to stop."

"What do her proposals involve?" he sighed. He hoped to avoid telling her this but now had no choice.

"She wants a share of Fangtasia's profit…and sex." Sookie's eyes immediately began to glow dangerously as her hands lit up. She was not a happy fairy.

"I beg your fucking pardon?" She snarled. "She's wants sex? From you?" He nodded gravely and her hair started to flutter as her magic began to gather around her. "That bitch…who does she think she is?" Eric put his hands on her arms and sent calm over the bond.

"Relax, lover. I have no intention of giving into her demands. You being here, as my bonded, should send the message that I am unavailable." She took a deep breath and nodded.

"I understand…but if she makes her demands, don't expect me to stay silent." He chuckled.

"I know better." She nodded, primly as Pam suddenly walked into the office.

"Ethan's here, master." She stated, shortly. Eric could still sense her conflict through the bond. She was nervous about seeing Jessica again. Part of her didn't want to…the other needed to.

"Pam…you can't put this off forever." He reasoned. She glared at him.

"Watch me!" She spat. He growled at her, causing her to lower her head in submission.

"You will talk to Jessica before this night is done!" He snarled in response. "I will not allow you to put this off." She huffed.

"I need more time."

"I had to command you not to take any fangbangers to your office, Pamela!" He roared. He had been furious with Pam when he came in to find her attempting to get a fangbanger into her office. So much so, he had ordered her to not attempt it again. She backed down, her head lowering again in shame. That was true, she had been so angry she had attempted to lure a donor into her office, she had not been thinking clearly. But the thought of that…breather kissing her Jessica was enraging. "You have not heard Jessica's explanation, I will not have you trying to get back at her for something she had no control over." Pam raised her head sharply.

"What do you…?"

"Enough!" She flinched back, Sookie gasping at Eric's tone. He was in his 'do-not-fuck-with-me' mode and Pam had, wisely, instantly cowered, her head dropping in submission. "You will grow the fuck up and sort this out. Am I understood?" She nodded.

"Yes, master." She replied, quietly. His gaze softened and he sighed. He had spoiled Pam a great deal over the years they had been together. She was used to getting her way with a pout or batting her lashes. But when he stood his ground, she knew better than to push him. She had been punished on a couple of occasions, not severely and never physically but enough for her to reign in her behaviour. "I will speak with her after this business with the witches is concluded." She said and he nodded.

"Good." As they finished speaking, Ethan, Selina and Jessica entered the office. The young vampiress attempted to meet Pam's eye. The two gazed at each other for a moment, before Pam looked away. Jessica's face fell a little, but she kept her mask up. Pam bit her lip, feeling some of Jessica's pain over the bond she had dampened down and her own guilt welled up. Eric was right, angry as she was, they needed to talk. She didn't know everything that occurred.

"When will they be here?" Ethan asked. Eric shrugged.

"Soon, Chow will send them in." He answered; Ethan nodded moving to sit in a chair that had been prepared for him. Selina moved and stood next to him, draping her arm over his shoulders as Jessica moved to his other side. She and Pam shared another glance as Pam moved to Eric's side, before facing away from each other. Their affairs would have to wait.

After a five-minute wait, Chow knocked and informed them that the witches had arrived. And soon they were walking into the office.

Hallow was easy to pick as she was tall, slim and broad-shouldered with brown hair and dark eyes. Sookie's eyes narrowed at her the second she came in. The witch's eyes were fixed on Eric lustfully as she sat down, without an invitation as Eric eyed her in a bored manner. Sookie reached out, trying to get a read on her.

"Such a pleasure to meet you again, Sheriff." Hallow greeted.

"I cannot say the same." Eric responded. Hallow chuckled before looking around at the gathered vampires.

"I believe I asked for this meeting to be conducted in private." She drawled. Ethan chuckled, dryly leaning back and crossing his legs.

"Given that you have been making unwanted advances on a Sheriff as well as attempting to wrestle profits from his business," he answered, eying her lazily, "you can understand our need for caution." Hallow sneered as the witches fidgeted behind her. Sookie's eyes remained fixed on Hallow.

"No, I do not. I would like to speak to Sheriff Northman in private." She demanded. Selina growled.

"Mind your tongue, witch." She hissed. "Your betters are talking."

"Selina." She nodded to her husband, stepping back as the witch glared at her. Sookie's eyes narrowed as she tried to pick out something from Hallow but could get nothing. It was almost as if…

"You can stop that anytime you wish to, human." Hallow stated suddenly. Sookie gasped as Eric's eyes widened a fraction. The witch turned her eyes to the telepath, smirking smugly. "You've been trying to read my thoughts from the second I entered the room. I assure you, I'd be surprised if you could." Sookie glared at her as the witches all chuckled. "And on that note, who exactly are you?"

"This is Sookie Stackhouse." Pam growled in response, her fangs itching to run down. "She is my master's bonded and you will address her with respect." Hallow's eyes went round at this as her eyes darted between Sookie and Eric, the telepath having moved to his side now, slipping an arm around his shoulder. Hallow's followers had gone silent at this information, unsure how to proceed.

"Bonded?" Hallow choked out with a chuckle. "You mean to tell me that the notorious Eric Northman has tied himself to a human of all things?"

"Yes, he has." Sookie answered, shortly. Hallow looked appalled that she was spoken to with such authority. "And I'll tell you now, I'm not what I appear to be." Hallow snarled at her.

"You obviously don't know who you are speaking to…"

"I don't particularly care either." All the vampires began chuckling as Hallow was now obviously seething.

"Bonded or not, she has no place in this affair." Hallow snapped.

"She has every right to be here." Eric answered, shortly. "She is my bonded and thus you should know that I am unavailable." Hallow scoffed.

"Please, she is human." She smiled, sickeningly. "Sheriff, my offer remains the same…a share of your profits…or we can entertain each other for…several nights." Sookie's eyes began to glow and the telltale signs of energy shifting through the air became obvious, to all except Hallow.

"Not interested." Eric answered, shortly.

"It is within your best interests to accept." Hallow said, changing tactics. If she couldn't have Eric to herself, as she was told she could, then neither would the human bitch. "I can make life very difficult for you." The sounds of fangs dropping echoed in the room as Jessica and Pam stepped forward, Eric's face contorted into a snarl.

Sookie's eyes glowed as she harnessed her energy. She now had a clear view into Hallow's mind, without the witch realising. And the thoughts she had of Eric were making her nauseous. Who did Hallow think she was?

"I don't respond well to threats…" Eric warned.

"I don't respond well to being humiliated." She replied, standing from her seat. Fuck the human, I know he wants me! "This is your last chance…" Sookie saw it almost immediately. Hallow was preparing for a hex. Summoning her willpower, she stretched her essence out into an invisible bubble around Eric and the other vampires. Eric growled, ferociously as Ethan rolled his neck, ready for a fight.

"Take your entourage and get out!"

Fine! Lets see how well you can do when you lose everything that makes you, who you are, Sheriff. With you out of way… Sookie didn't bother to listen to anymore, knowing full well what Hallow planned. She was going to take Eric's memories away.

Well, over her dead body!

The second Hallow sent her hex out, the bubble Sookie had formed suddenly rippled. The spell exploded in front of Eric, not causing any damage, the bubble shimmering as it did so. Eric was on his feet in an instant with a roar. Hallow, not understanding what had just happened, took a terrified step back.

"What the fuck…" before she could finish, Sookie's hands lit up violently and she hurled her Light at the witch. With a scream, Hallow rocketed back and hit the wall where the lights pinned her. The other witches had no time to retaliate as Ethan, Selina, Jessica and Pam pounced on them.

It was over quickly. Pam had drained one of the witches dry, blood oozing from her lips as she hissed at the corpse contempt. Ethan had simply broken his victim's neck, obviously not having the patience for a drawn out fight. Selina had done the same, after toying with her opponent briefly. Jessica on the other hand, had been particularly violent.

Her grief at the situation with Pam, coupled with a threat towards Eric and her maker had sent her into a rage. The final two witches were brutally finished by the young vampire. The first's throat had been ripped out before he could begin to chant, hoping to fight back. The second was less fortunate as Jessica beat her to death. She was still punching the now unrecognisable face when Pam had caught her wrist, holding her back. Jessica had snatched her hand back but both women simply stared at each other, before Pam's face softened and she touched Jessica's shoulder. The touch had the desired response and she calmed. But the moment was over as Pam turned away and moved to Eric's side as he stood behind Sookie, who was standing in front of Hallow.

Sookie's skin was glowing furiously with her fairy powers and her magic had filled the room with its presence. Her hair was fluttering as her energy surged from her body, giving her a wildly beautiful look. But her eyes, it was the intensity of her eyes that were most frightening. They were bright, piercing blue and filled with murderous intent as she glared at Hallow, her hands still pulsing angrily as the witch tried to form words. Eric could feel the malicious rage through the bond.

"You dare try to take his memory away!" Sookie shrieked at Hallow, her voice shaking with rage. "You dare to even think about taking him from me!" Hallow gasped at the ferocity of Sookie's words.

"What are you?" She demanded of the telepath. "What the fuck are you?"

"I'm not human, you idiot!" Sookie spat. "And you should have realised that when I was trying to read your mind. And it should've fucking clicked when I deflected you spell…"

"That was you?" Hallow whispered. But…they said…

"Yes, it was me!" And Sookie's eyes began to glow even more, her Light shining intensely. "Who put you up to this?" She demanded. "You're working for someone…you wouldn't dare challenge a vampire like Eric unless you thought you had someone covering your back."

"How…?"

"Answer the question!" Sookie shrieked. Eric was trying to push calm into the bond, but she wasn't having it. Her rage was still screaming over the bond as she glared at Hallow, who sneered back.

"I'm not telling you anything…and you can't read my mind."

"Then you're useless to me." Hallow's eyes widened considerably as Sookie threw her hand up and fired her light at her once more. This time it didn't simply slam into her, no it burrowed inside the witch Sookie's energy looking to reap her retribution in a different manner.

It wasn't quick; no it was slow, fuelled with rage and vengeance. Hallow was screaming as her body began to smoke from all of her orifices. Her mouth, her eyes, her ears, everywhere as she thrashed against Sookie's energy, trying to free herself as she was burned from the inside out. Sookie just watched her burn, no compassion, in fact she appeared as merciless as Eric did at times.

Soon Hallow's screams stopped as her body drooped. Sookie released her energy and the smoking husk dropped to the floor with a flump, clearly dead. The glow to the telepath's eyes vanished and her skin returned to normal as she stared coldly at the witch who had threatened to take her Viking away.


As I said ruthless Sookie. I always thought if she was in a long-term relationship with Eric, she would harden a great deal. This Sookie is very much Eric's bonded and is not afraid to fight and kill for him, slightly OCC but there it is. No complaints I hope?

Let me know guys
