Calm before the storm?

A/N: I do not own any of the characters they are beautifully owned and originated with Charlane Harris I just borrow them for my own pleasure and hope to share with others.

Eric POV

It is early still, not quiet dusk. Pam is still in her rest. Sookie hasn't changed. She looks peaceful, with everything I am I hope that is true. I cannot bear to lose her but I also do not know if I can take her hating me for what I have done. Her eternally here but not wanting anything to do with me...that is my fear.

My phone rings pulling me out of my dark thoughts.

"Yes."

"Viking. We must meet." It's Niall. "Now."

"My house."

"I am here Viking. Get down here or let us come in." I hesitate, his purpose could be to kill Pam and I to take Sookie. "We are here to talk. Not kill you Viking, we have much to discuss."

I hang up and reach over to Pam.

"Pam. You need to get up now." Her eyes immediately open in panic and sits up. "Niall is here. I am going to let him in but I need you alert." She nods and stares at the door. "Calm Pamela." She changes her position so she is sitting beside Sookie.

As soon as the door is open Niall sweeps in. I hear a gasp of breath from him.

"It is true." He said it like a statement to himself. "How?"

"Victor Madden attacked her at her home." I spit his name through my teeth wanting nothing more then to kill him again. "I killed him."

"You gave her blood?" He was still looking at Sookie as he spoke to me.

"Yes but she was too far gone for it to save her." The could feel the blood on my face and I knew I was crying silently. "I know she had asked me not to do this but...I she did not ask for this either and I could not bear to be without her." Niall still hadn't moved. "Will it work? Has a Fae ever been turned?"

Niall's face snapped to me. I could not tell if he was angry or not his face was a mask. Now I know what I looked like to others.

"Yes a full blooded Fae was turned once...long ago, but Sookie isn't full Fae. I have no idea of the impact to her."

"What of the full blooded Fae?"

"Killed by other Fae. Thought of as an abomination...he was difficult to kill."

"You killed him?" I was ready to defend her my nerves now on edge at his words and I saw Pam's pose ready for attack.

"No. Not me. Others the same who hated half blood Fae." He moved closer to Sookie and I was ready to pounce. "You have nothing to fear from me. I do not want to lose her either." I still did not trust him but I gave a slight nod to him.

Pam POV

"Pam. You need to get up now." I immediately open my eyes in panic and sit up. "Niall is here. I am going to let him in but I need you alert." I nod and stare at the door. "Calm Pamela." I change my position so it looks as though I am just sitting besides Sookie, yet ready to tear apart whoever comes through the door. Eric walks over and opens the door.

As soon as the door is open Niall sweeps in.

"It is true." He said it like a statement to himself. "How?"

"Victor Madden attacked her at her home." Eric spits his name "I killed him."

"You gave her blood?" He was still looking at Sookie as he spoke to Eric.

"Yes but she was too far gone for it to save her." I saw the blood on his face, he was crying. My maker is in such pain. "I know she had asked me not to do this but...I she did not ask for this either and I could not bear to be without her." Niall still hadn't moved. "Will it work? Has a Fae ever been turned?"

Niall's face snapped to Eric. I moved slightly ready to fight if need be.

"Yes a full blooded Fae was turned once...long ago, but Sookie isn't full Fae. I have no idea of the impact to her." I was relieved at his words. She might make it through this.

"What of the full blooded Fae?" Eric's voice took on a tone of caution.

"Killed by other Fae. Thought of as an abomination...he was difficult to kill." Niall seemed unhappy about that but I could not read him.

"You killed him?" I continued to sit ready to fight.

"No. Not me. Others the same who hated half blood Fae." He moved closer to Sookie and Eric and I were ready to pounce. "You have nothing to fear from me. I do not want to lose her either." Eric gave him a slight nod. I didn't relax my stance. I would be prepared to defend Eric and Sookie even if he trusted Niall, I did not.
