A/N: I guess the crazy side of Eric shows in this chapter where he takes on the role of the Joker!
Remember, I am trying my best to do this story loosely based off Harley and Joker from Suicide Squad. Eric and Sookie may seem out of character in some parts, but not in every part, so please bear with me. After all, this is a story of Eric and Sookie taking on the roles of Harley and Joker in a whole different way!
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Things are starting to have a huge turn of events in Sookie's life.
Eric stared at her for a little while longer, a thought popping into his head suddenly. "Is there something you can do for me, Doctor?"
"Anything—I mean yeah." Sookie caught her tongue. She didn't know why she said that first part.
"I need a machine gun." He told her with a serious look on his face.
Sookie's face slightly fell. "A machine gun?"
She blinked again in confusion. Why the hell would he want a machine gun for?
"What do you plan on doing with this machine gun?" She demanded.
Eric stared at her a little longer with a plain serious look on his face but then it changed into a softer one while he chuckled lightly. "HAHA..."
Sookie cleared her throat, not sure what Eric had in mind.
"You said you would do anything for me." He recalled.
"No, I said yeah I can do something for you—"
"But the first words I heard coming out of your mouth was 'anything'." He said darkly.
She remained quiet, not knowing exactly what else to say.
Eric slightly leaned back in his seat. "I thought we were friends, Sookie."
"We are…" she gulped lightly, still somewhat confused. He was acting sort of strange in this session compared to the other sessions she had with him. "It's just, why do you—"
"I need a machine gun." He said harshly, his eyes darkening on her.
Clearly, he looked like he was not playing around, but Sookie was still curious about why he needed one so bad.
She cleared her throat lightly again, now tearing her eyes off of him and nervously fidgeting with her fingers. "I know… and I can't give you one, Eric." She said now, becoming upset again. "I don't even know how or where to get one—" She hitched in the middle of her sentence when she saw Eric somehow vanish from his chair and somehow appear directly beside her, his eyes buried into hers.
Her heart began racing at the unexpected action. How the hell did he get out of his chains? And how the hell did he get to her that fast?
She didn't realize until now that she obviously had a lot to learn about vampires.
Eric focused very hard on her eyes. "You will do as I say and you will bring me a machine gun." He demanded.
The anger that was already inside of Sookie increased when she noticed Eric trying to glamour her once again. She got up from her seat, standing before him. It wasn't until that very second she saw how tall he was. He was extremely tall and she felt like an ant next to him.
"I told you, that doesn't fucking work on me." She said angrily. "And who do you think you are telling me what to d—?"
Going against her will, Eric blindly grabbed her and sunk his fangs into Sookie's neck, her blood immediately going down his throat in seconds. He groaned in pleasure as he continued to suck on her blood. A sudden darkness immediately consumed him and he did not want to stop sucking on her blood. She tasted nothing like human. She tasted of something pure and heaven.
Caught off guard, Sookie screamed out in pain, her hands slamming onto his chest. She felt the unbearable pain in her neck, a pain she never experienced before, but it hurt like hell. Her eyes were beginning to roll back when she felt her blood leaving from her body.
Eric continued to feed from her, wanting to suck her clean and leave her to die. He had never wanted to feed from a human as bad as he wanted to feed from her. It was almost impossible for him to let her live after tasting such a unique kind of blood.
Sookie felt herself becoming weaker as the blood left her body. Her eyes were rolling back and her screams were becoming quiet. She continued to try and push him off her when suddenly her hands began to shine a bright white light, such power consuming inside of her when suddenly that power from her hands unleashed onto his chest and knocked him to the other side of the room, his fangs instantly ripping off from her skin.
Eric's body knocked hard against the wall before he fell down straight to the floor, a loud groan coming out of his mouth.
Sookie was breathing hard in shock when suddenly guards slammed the doors open to her room, rushing inside.
Everything was happening too fast all at once. She saw guards approaching her, asking her if she was okay, some were trying to guide her out of the room while the other guards approached Eric from the other side of the room and sprayed him in the face with something that seemed to make him cry out in pain.
Sookie was still breathing hard in shock when suddenly everything became a blur in an instant and then she fainted into the arms of a security guard.
Her family sat quietly in the waiting room with so many thoughts swarming through their heads.
Jason was pacing around, worried for his sister.
Tara was crying in the arms of their grandmother Adele, while their grandmother remained strong, hoping in her heart that her granddaughter was okay.
To find out that Sookie was sent to the hospital after being attacked by her patient scared her grandmother to death.
Jason was pissed off as he continued to pace around, nerves running through his head. He warned Sookie about the Joker, he told her to quit that job, but she didn't listen, now he was afraid for her life and he hoped to God that Sookie could survive this.
"Miss Stackhouse?"
He paused with his pacing when he suddenly saw a female doctor approach his grandmother. Tara quickly got up from her seat, standing by Jason's side while Adele slowly got up from her seat as well.
Tears were pouring from Tara's eyes. She looked like an emotional wreck.
"How is my granddaughter?" Adele asked, a look of deep concern on her face.
The doctor frowned softly. "She's lost a lot of blood."
"How much blood?" Tara spoke up.
"A lot," the doctor confirmed.
"Oh, my god…" Tara said worriedly.
Adele looked down slightly, at a loss for words.
"What about a transfusion? I mean, can't—" Jason spoke, but the doctor interrupted him.
"We tried," the doctor informed him, looking at Tara and the grandmother as well. "Her body rejected it."
"Well, maybe you gave her the wrong kind of blood?" Tara continued, refusing to believe that Sookie may be dying. "You checked her first, right? I mean, you better not have taken a fucking guess."
The doctor looked at Tara and then at the grandmother. "Your granddaughter doesn't have a blood type."
"What?" Adele said in shock.
"What do you mean?" Tara asked, becoming confused.
Jason's eyebrows furrowed together. "Everybody has a blood type."
"Exactly," the doctor agreed, looking at the grandmother again. "But for whatever reason we couldn't establish hers and we are running out of time, so I put in an order for O negative. O negative is a universal donor. But your granddaughter…" the doctor paused briefly.
Tears began to well in Tara's eyes once again while Jason and his grandmother looked at the doctor with a concerned and serious look on their eyes.
"I have never seen a reaction like that before. At least, not from a human." The doctor informed them.
"Wait, so you're saying that it's a possibility that Sookie is not a human?" Jason asked, confused.
"Most likely yes, but we're not sure. If she was anything supernatural, let alone a vampire, she would heal quickly, but unfortunately she has not." The doctor still had a concerned look on her face. "I'm so sorry."
Tara shook her head and immediately went into the arms of Jason to sob quietly in his chest.
Adele was beginning to feel emotions pile through her body. She wanted to see her granddaughter right now. "Take me to her." She demanded.
The doctor nodded briefly. "As you wish."
Sookie lied in her hospital bed with nothing but cords connected to her neck, her arms and her mouth. Her eyes was slipped closed and she was left in a coma. Her family stood standing beside her, while Tara continued to have confused thoughts swarming through her head.
Adele was staring at her granddaughter with nothing but pain in her eyes. She prayed in her heart that her granddaughter would be alright. She knew how excited Sookie was to work at that Asylum and for her granddaughter to have a possibility of dying just because she started working there makes no sense. Adele absolutely had no idea what she would do if she loses her granddaughter because of this.
"This just doesn't make any sense…" Tara trailed off, staring at Sookie in her hospital bed. "How can Sookie not have a blood type?" She turned her eyes to Jason. "You got one?"
Jason nodded, "AB negative." He looked back at his sister again, wiping the tears he already let out from his cheek. "I only know it because I'm always cutting myself with power tools and whatnot. But Sook, she ain't never really been sick before. Definitely never stayed in a hospital." He looked down, his eyes tearing off his sister. "Wasn't even born in one."
Tara slowly looked back at Sookie. "I didn't know that."
"Yeah our mama's was always waiting till the last minute to do everything, and Sook, she was coming out real fast so there wasn't any time." He looked back at his sister again. "Our daddy had to deliver her on a dining room table… saw more of it than I cared to." He stared at his sister for a little while longer, now becoming slightly upset. "If I see the Joker, I will gladly stake him and not feel bad about it."
Adele slowly began to approach Sookie's bed, looking down at her granddaughter with tears now coming out of her eyes. "Sookie was growing rather fond of her patient." She recalled.
"I don't know why," Jason made a face. "She knew what he was like. Evil and manipulative and that's exactly what how he was with my sister…" he looked at Sookie again. "I just don't understand how he was able to get out of his chains to get to her…"
Tara remained quiet, once again sobbing quietly right next to her best friend's hospital bed.
Jason began to think rather hard. "Do you think maybe she had the Joker's blood? It would only make sense."
Tara and Adele slowly looked at Jason in confusion.
"What do you mean, Jason?" His grandmother asked in confusion.
"You really have no idea about vampires, gran?"
Adele kept the same emotional look she had on her face just before.
Jason sighed, taking a quick glimpse at Tara as well. "You too, Tara?"
"What are you not telling us, Jason?" Tara demanded.
Jason sighed again, looking down at his sister once more. "If a human drinks blood from a vampire, they are connected and then suddenly that human begins to have some sort of strong feelings for that vampire. It's sort of like Romeo and Juliet, when Romeo took a love drug and suddenly became in love with Juliet in that one movie." He sighed once more. "Since the Joker is known for manipulating so many people, maybe he might have manipulated Sookie into drinking his blood without really forcing her to do so."
Tara shook her head, anger welling up inside of her. "What kind of sick freak does that?"
"The Joker," Jason pointed out.
Adele slowly tore her eyes from Jason and looked at her granddaughter again.
Jason was beginning to feel tears in his eyes and he slowly leaned down so he can speak to his sister, even though he feared she wouldn't hear him. "Hey, Sook." He said. "Don't you do this to me…" he grabbed her hand and became slightly hopeful to feel that her hand was still somewhat warm. He let his thumb caress her hand. "I fucking love you… and if I find that son of the bitch that did this to you, I will stake him. I'm not even joking." He shook his head.
"And I fucking love you too…" Tara said.
Her cousin, Lafayette remained standing a little away from her hospital bed and sighed lightly. "Come on ya'll, stop cussing at her. We're gonna figure this thing out."
Suddenly, a body appeared in front of Sookie's hospital bed out of nowhere within a blink of an eye. Tara, Jason, Adele, and Lafayette were suddenly thrown off guard at the man that appeared unexpectedly in the room. Jason's eyes suddenly furrowed together when he saw a tall man standing in the middle of the room, staring at Sookie with a hard look on his face. His hair was dirty blonde and he was wearing all black with a leather jacket. It only took a moment for Jason to recognize the man wasn't just any man, it was him, the Joker.
"How is she?" Eric asked, staring at her.
"You fucking dick head." Jason said angrily.
"She's dying." Eric pointed out.
"Yeah, thanks to you!" He shouted.
Tara made a face. "Who the hell is this Jason?"
"That's him Tara, that's the Joker!" Jason exclaimed.
Adele gasped in shock, backing up slightly, not knowing what to think or what to expect. "My stars," she said in shock.
"I can help," Eric assured them.
"The fuck you can." Lafayette said, staring at Eric with a pissed off look on his face.
Jason didn't think, he looked around and quickly found something and spotted a broom. He quickly went to retrieve it and break it in half. As soon as he turned around to try and stake Eric with it, Eric quickly grabbed Jason by the wrist. "I wouldn't try that if I were you." He threatened, hardening his eyes on him. "My blood can heal her. If you want your sister to live, you better let me heal her before I do something I will never forget."
"Oh, hell no. You're the one who fucking did this to my best friend, you piece of shit!" Tara shouted, a look of rage in her eyes.
"No, you're staying the hell away from my sister from here on—"
Eric hardened his eyes on Jason's, knowing for sure Jason wasn't going to listen so he had no choice but to glamour him. "You didn't see me tonight." He made sure to look at Tara's eyes as well "Neither did you," he looked at Adele, "You," he looked at Lafayette. "Or you." He made sure to concentrate rather hard since he was controlling them. He looked back at Jason. "You're still in the waiting room waiting for the news about Sookie, wondering if she is okay or not. You don't know anything, and you never knew I was here. Now, on my command, for each of you." He looked at everyone in the eyes. "I want for you to close your eyes and count to ten. As soon as you get to ten, open your eyes and walk quietly out of this room and return to the waiting room."
"Okay…" they all said, under his hypnosis.
Eric hardened his eyes again. "Start counting." He instantly stopped glamouring them when he saw each of them closing their eyes and counting to ten.
He took this moment to walk out of the room and briefly waited for them to leave.
It didn't take too long for them to finish counting and beginning to walk out of the room, brushing right past him. Eric glared at them as they walked by before walking back into Sookie's room. He made sure to close her door shut before locking it.
He slowly approached Sookie's side and stared at her for a short moment. He didn't know why he came here wanting to heal her in the first place. After all, he used her to get out of that Asylum and now that he finally got out, he wasn't sure why he even came to see her. Just by smelling her, he knew she was dying. She always smelled like something unique to him and when he realized that smell was wearing off on her, he knew he had to do something quick.
Eric groaned softly and then rolled his eyes again. "Dr. Stackhouse in such a tragic state..." He shook his head and unattached one of the cords connected to her before biting into his wrist and placing the cord into his now open wound. He watched as his blood began to suck into the cord and slowly began to reach Sookie's body.
She was indeed unique and he was willing to find out what she is.
Eric continued to pace around the room for almost two hours already. The only thing he heard in the room was the sound of the beep noises that heart monitor was making. He kept looking at her almost every second, wondering when she would wake up.
It was strange to him. A human never usually took that long to heal.
After a short moment later, he slowly began to smell that familiar unique smell she had and he slowly turned to look at her again and tilted his head slightly when he saw her eyes slowly open. She was looking at the ceiling, looking as if confused with her surroundings.
Sookie was seeing things a little blurry, not sure where she was. She cleared her throat lightly and then moved her eyes to the person that was standing right next to her feet.
Eric stared back at her as she stared into his eyes. "Dr. Stackhouse…" he trailed off.
She stared at him for only a few seconds then suddenly began screaming loudly with fear in her heart. "AHHHH!"
A/N: Soooo, I admit, I remembered that episode where Bill almost killed her and she was sent to the hospital, so I thought why not incorporate it into a Sookie and Eric scene? I thought it would fit well. What do you guys think will happen next? Do you think Sookie will fear Eric from here on? Leave reviews!
