"We're leaving." I was not going to let him intimidate me. He might be a king, but he was still just Bill Compton. "You know you are holding him because I'm his now, and I will never be yours." I could almost feel Eric's smirk from behind me, but I kept my face blank.I would not let him see how angry I was.
"As much as you like to flatter yourself, who you whore around with is not my concern." How dare he? I could hear Eric growl behind me and I hoped he could keep a clear head. "Eric violated my direct orders, and for that I am recommending the true death. I have not heard back from the Authority but I am sure they will jump at the chance to end you." He glared over my head and I knew he was trying to stare down Eric. It would never work, it was pathetic for him to even try.
"That's crap you know it. You have no right to hold him and the three of us are going home." I took a step, ready to walk around him and on my merry way. He grabbed my arm and I winced in pain, he was holding way too tight.
"You may do whatever you wish but if you take Eric from this house I will end him, and then I will let my guards end you. You may think you are special but you are nothing but a human interfering in the affairs of vampires. You try my patience, and I will not stand your meddling any longer! Do not delude yourself into thinking that my feelings for you will cloud my judgement as king. I will order your death."
I glared at him and tried to hold my rage in check. I could almost feel the hatred emanating from Eric behind me. The smirk that crossed my face did not reach my eyes, and I'm sure Eric would have been proud of my smug expression, I pulled the tape recorder from my back pocket and hit the stop button. "Do you think that'll be enough Pam?"
"Oh yeah."
Bill was looking between us, his face a mask of horror and confusion. "I now hold evidence of a vampire, not just a vampire, but a king, threatening the life of a human. I'm sure CNN, the Fellowship of the Sun, and all of the local newspapers would love a copy of this. If you try to take Eric from me again, I will make sure that this tape gets heard around the world. See what the Authority thinks of you then."
Bill looked at the small device in horror and lunged for it with his vampire speed. Pam stopped him, shoving him onto his ass in the doorway. I looked down at him, all sympathy for this man gone. "Let. Us. Pass."
Bill realized he was beat for the moment and stood, stepping to the side. I grabbed Eric's hand and walked out onto the porch and down into the yard, not giving Bill a second glance.

On the inside, I was doing an Irish jig. On the outside, well, I looked like, and felt like shit, but that didn't matter, because Sookie chose me!
I knew I was being abnormal, and not acting like myself, but there was layer of myself that hadn't been let out since I first became a vampire, one that I held back, and wouldn't let out. Something I couldn't help but hide due to the death of my family.
Sookie drew that out of me, yanking and pulling until I was unable to stop the emotions from openly coming out of me. I loved no, love her. Something I was perfectly ready to deny before, I was now openly accepting it, as long as i didn't lose her again. My memories of the days of my amnesia tell me things about her, about me, that I didn't know. Things that remind me of how strong she is, and loyal, God she is loyal.
I started to fall to the side, and not the one that Pam was on, smiling as I went. Oh, shit, that can't be good. I start to hit the ground, when Pam lifts me and tosses me over her shoulder.
"We've got to hurry. Sunrise is coming," Pam said, running through the graveyard, Sookie trying to keep up, but unable to.
Pam made it to her house, tossing me in a nearby closet, and leaving me there. I waited as she put a towel in front of the crack in the door before shutting the door and leaving me in the darkness. I could hear the two talking, and feel Sookies irritation. Footsteps echoed through the household as she led Pam to her closet, and the door shut. Sookie made her way back to the living room, a happiness I hadn't felt from her all night flowed through me as I knew she laid down on the sofa. It was that thought that led me to sleep.

I was worried for Eric, he was obviously still feeling the effects of the silver. If it wouldn't mean my death, I would show Bill Compton exactly what I thought of him. I yelled at Pam for throwing Eric into my closet, he had a cubbie. Pam turned to look at me and rolled her eyes before opened the armourer and climbed down the ladder. That bitch just wanted the cubbie to herself. I rolled my eyes and say the first rays of sunlight rise outside. There wasn't anything I could do about it now.
I realized for the first time that I was exhausted. It was like the stress of everything that had gone on hit me all at once, and my body was trying to shut down. I didn't want to go up to my bedroom alone, not after what happened last time. Walking into the living room I grabbed a pillow from the couch and looked over by the fireplace. There was the blanket that Eric and I had made love on. Blushing I grabbed it from the floor and laid it down in from of Eric's closet door Placing the pillow against the wall I lied down, figuring I would wait here until Eric woke up. It wasn't long until I fell asleep, thinking of a certain viking vampire.

I woke up the minute of sunset, stretching my finally fully healed body happily. I opened the closet door, walking out to find my angel curled up on the floor. I knelt beside her swiping the one strand of hair from her face, reveling in her beauty. I ran my hand across her cheek, rubbing my thumb lightly against her bottom lip. I smiled as she leaned in to me, turning the light rub in to a caress.
I leaned over, and pressed my lips softly against hers, her warm, soft lips like silk against my cold, rough ones. I went to pull back, only to feel her hands run through my hair keeping me from moving. Her lips lightly opened, allowing my tongue to slide in, pulling a groan from me. Her soft pliant body rubbed against mine, my hands wrapping around her, pulling her closer to me, as close as possible. Her body rubbed against mine like a cat in heat, and I couldn't hold back the growl deep in my throat.
I pulled back looking her in the eyes.

I smiled up at Eric, "you going to wake me like that every time?" I smirked and sat up, stretching my sore muscles. Sleeping on the floor had not been a good idea, and I was feeling it in my back and neck. Wincing I ran a hand over my neck and was moving to get to my knees when I was swept off the ground. I let out a little squeak as I realized that Eric had picked me up and moved me at vamp speed to my room. He placed me gently on my bed and I suddenly became aware of how much my clothes had burned. I had been wearing a pair of jeans which were now charred and falling apart. I realized that they would have to be thrown away. I had taken off my sweater before being kidnapped and the camisole I had worn under it was barely recognizable, it was little more than a strip of cloth. I could see the predatory look in Eric's eyes, that element of him that had been missing when he didn't have his memories.
I realized that I was going to have Eric, all of Eric, and I knew in that moment that it was exactly what I wanted.
