Hello my lovelies!

Sorry its so late! If you follow me on WordPress (on my profile page) you got a little bit of a teaser from Eric's point of view, don't worry I have included it hear, but I put it up on the 8th so that readers wouldn't get too sad over my long break since I went to Cali and just had a sucky birthday (got a ticket). Some readers mentioned that I had made a mistake in Godric's age since he is 2,500 years old and Vercingetorix is around 2,200 (in real life). But trust me there is a reason I made him older and you all will find out later.

Before being edited this was 11 pages and 4,502 words long and after being edited it is now 14 pages and 5,558 words long!

I have gotten a few flames that just ruined my day, I deleted them since I often go and look at the comments to see what readers want next and I just didn't want to see them. The reader criticized me on my 'overuse' of the TV shows lines (duh its a rewrite I have to start somewhere) They stopped reading at Chapter 3 which is stupid since at the beginning it is almost all from the show, only we view things from a suspicious Sookie's eyes instead of the cannon Sookie who just let everything go. I had to start establishing my Sookie in a believable way, so I inserted valid suspicions that would cause changes in Sookie. After chapter 3 the only scenes from the show are the rooftop scene and nothing else.

They also said that Sookie was blatantly choosing Godric over Eric...No. Sookie has had her emotions manipulated until she cant help but dislike Eric, it is almost a natural reaction now while Godric saved her from being raped. She sees Godric as someone who saved her and while she can now see the good in Eric and recognize that how she felt before wasn't natural it is difficult for her as it would be for anyone. It doesn't mean that she prefers ANYONE just that she doesn't know what to think or how to feel now that she isn't being manipulated by Bill's blood. It would be a normal thing to feel that way, I would find it more strange if Sookie just suddenly treated Eric like nothing ever happened and just jumped into bed with him.

Ok I'm done.

Thank you so much for all the nice reviews it helped me get back up and write!

Chapter Six

Eric Speaks

Teaser in Eric Pov:

I sat watching while my maker displayed more life than I had ever seen in him. The bond sang with his happiness and amusement as he teased Sookie.

I looked to her and I saw her shine from within, her light and natural joy for life seeping into Godric (and even to me). Ever since I met her I noticed some of my own traits changing, I was less apathetic and I woke for the night with excitement instead of the usual annoyance and indifference.

Sookie flicked her blonde hair and sent her scent towards me. I felt like I was being punched in the gut, it was so powerful. Her smell made me miss home, she smelled like fresh honey warmed by the sunlight. I had always loved honey as a human; the stings we received were worth it when we stumbled across a hive while hunting for the village.

We didn't have chocolate or processed sugary confections that they do now. Honey was the ultimate treat for my people. Even the honey of today pales to the honey of my human years. It is currently over processed and hardly even smells like it is supposed to so it was shocking to me when a young woman came into Fangtasia smelling like something that was long gone to me.

I loved the sun when I was human. I sat in the sun for the pure joy of it as a child and then as a young man I fucked under the warmth of the summer air. It was possibly the only thing I regret giving up to become a vampire.

I felt my fangs aching to be released from my gums and my nostrils flared.

I opened my eyes at Sookie's gasp of surprise. As soon as she looked at me I nearly rolled my eyes back in pure bliss. When she looked at me she felt arousal for a brief moment and it made the smell of honey and sun increase until the musk spread all around me.

I could no longer control my fangs they came out as I said, "What did you want to know älskare?"

0o.o0o.o0

Sookie was so unbelievably happy at the moment! She had just learned the truth about an important figure in history and got to hear it from him first hand!

Godric was looking at Eric with the mischievous expression on his face; Sookie had previously seen him only stoic and somber so she was shocked at how much his countenance changed with just that. His brows were lifted teasingly, his mouth quirked as if he was keeping himself from bursting out laughing, it was his eyes however that held the most change.

His eyes before were a stormy green, filled to the brim with dark clouds of pain, so cloudy that they almost looked brown when they met in the basement of the FoTS. Now however they looked so clear and airy, as if he had survived through the storm and was now enjoying living in the peaceful aftermath.

The green was beautiful and he looked both younger and older at the same time. Now that he was unburdened he carried himself more like a strong, powerful, young man would – like the warrior he was.

He also looked his physical age now. Since he started smiling more often Sookie could see the adorable little crinkles that surrounded his eyes. When his brows lifted she could see the slight worry lines that he must have had as a human gracing his forehead.

All of these things made her feel…something. As she looked at Godric and Eric she thought that wrinkles and laugh lines could never be ugly, they were the sign of a life fully lived. In fact their presence added to their beauty, it made them more approachable and let you see the humanity that they tried so hard to hide.

Sookie looked at Eric still feeling the arousal from earlier when they looked at each other - his fangs peeking out with his blonde hair in disarray begging to have her fingers run through it, "So the stories?"

Eric opened his mouth to speak displaying more fang, but just as he began the phone rang.

Godric vamped to the phone on the table and answered, "Godric."

Sookie could only hear Godric's side of the conversation but judging from Eric's expression she assumed he could hear the other person as well. Eric had his head tilted towards the phone and had a quizzical expression on his face.

He reminded Sookie of a puppy with its ear perked to listen to something.

"Yes Isabel…Of course. Now?" Godric suddenly looked worried. His voice did not change, but somehow Sookie could tell that he was preoccupied with whatever Isabel had said, and was worried for her.

"I will ask." Both Eric and Godric looked to her.

"Sookie," Godric began. "There seems to be a problem at the nest and Isabel wanted to know if you could read the donors and pets as soon as you can. Now if possible."

She nodded she could tell he was worried for Isabel. Sookie wondered what had happened, "Of course I will!"

Godric smiled at her briefly before he turned back towards the phone and began speaking to Isabel in Spanish. Once again Sookie understood it, but she disregarded it (perhaps that bootleg Rosetta Stone CD was finally working).

Eric captured her attention, "Have you finished eating lover?"

Sookie looked at the mountain of food that she had yet to try and said, "I'm full but it seems like such a waste to just throw this all away!"

"Do not worry. We can place them in the refrigerator; you will likely be hungry after the blood exchange. It will boost your metabolism in order to heal your wounds and strengthen your body."

She smiled, she hated wasting food, growing up in a poor household and only living of her Gran's small pension as well as the remnants of her parent's life insurance meant that they almost never had a lot. They had enough, but wasting was a sin to them.

Gran struggled so much when Sookie's parents died; she suddenly had two small children and only her pension until the police search turned up her parent's bodies. The insurance company and the bank refused to give Gran any money until they were missing for 10 years or the bodies were found, whichever came first.

Sookie knew how much it was a toll on her. She was an elderly woman who should have lived comfortably spoiling her grandchildren while being supported by her children. But that didn't happen, she survived both of her children and had the burden of young kids placed in her lap.

Gran never complained, she took it in stride and got a job. She started knitting, washing clothes, and sewing from home. The entire town rallied behind her as much as they could and brought her their clothes and things even if they could do all of it themselves. Gran was too proud a woman to take money that she felt she didn't work for; she only took money from others as a loan that she would repay immediately, so this was the town's way of helping her.

Every little bit helped but they couldn't afford to be throwing away food.

She stood up and removed her legs from his thigh. She set about packing up the food. Eric stood next to her piling the packaged food for him to take to the fridge. Working like that they both had everything packed and stored in no time.

"So are we doing this now?" Sookie asked as Godric hung up the phone.

"-Yes"

"-Only if you wish so."

Eric and Godric both spoke at the same time. Godric rolled his eyes a little bit at his Childe's eagerness.

"Is it better to do it now or later?" Sookie asked, wondering if there was a time limit or something.

Godric answered her with a shake of his head. "It matters not, but I would prefer if we did it before we leave to got to the Nest. It is better if you are not injured when we are there. Not very many have the will power to resist one who smells like you having wounds."

"… You guys have told me all of the side affects right? There is nothing more than the healing, the strength in my senses and libido, the dreams, and being able to feel/influence me?" Sookie looked at them, her youth suddenly visible to them as they softened towards her.

"No." Eric said. "And we have already given you our vow to never influence you without your permission or due cause."

She heaved a sigh and said, "Ok, I trust you."

They were such simple words, but to Eric the shock was almost a stake to the chest. Never would he have imagined she would have said those three words 'I trust you' he could tell she meant it, the simple innocence of her statement nearly made his heart restart. When she shyly turned her eyes up form the floor to him, he could see the pure untainted trust she showed him. He could feel his heart opening to her more, the purple tendril of light that swirled around him was getting closer to breaching his chest.

Her trust was a little hesitant, but given what he assumed Bill did in order for her to dislike him so much so instantly it was understandable for her to have some hesitance.

"So how do we do this?" She asked looking around, "I have only done this like three times, and in all of them either I was injured or I was sucking silver from vampires." She said with a pointed look to the two of them.

"You are wrong lover." Eric said. "You have only done one mutual exchange and that was with Bill."

Sookie was a little confused, "What is the difference?"

"A mutual exchange is when a vampire and a human drink blood from one another at the same time. It forms a bond like we have told you, but depending on how much blood was exchanged if it is not renewed after a certain amount of time it will fade."

Sookie looked a little lost and said, "So my blood bond with Bill faded a long time ago then?"

Eric and Godric both shook their head, "No when I met you at Fangtasia you smelled almost completely of Compton only with my great age was I even able to scent you, to Pam you would have smelt only of Compton."

Godric added in, "You smelled of him in the basement as well, but you no longer smell of him, the little you had of both mine and Eric's blood seems to have destroyed it."

Sookie shook her head, "but he said he only gave me a little bit of blood? And he never drank any of mine when he gave me his blood, so it should have faded by now!"

"Then he lied." Godric said softly.

Sookie let that sink in and sat down in shock. She shouldn't be so surprised she thought, considering she had already seen how good of an actor he was with Lisa and him 'mainstreaming' while 'waiting for her to be ready for sex.'

She was done she decided. No more, as soon as she saw Bill she was ending it, she was finished with that lying cheat.

"Send me emotions." She said suddenly.

"What?" Eric asked.

"I want to know what it feels like. I think Bill may have used it on me, looking back I spent too much time acting differently and focused a lot on Bill and accepting his platitudes despite the fact that it didn't make sense for me to do that, even when it went against what Gran taught me."

"Alright. What emotions would you like us to send?"

"Make me hate you." Sookie said, "I need to see if something is true or not."

Eric suspected that Sookie was wondering if her dislike of him was fabricated by Compton. He had to admit that he was curious if she could tell she was being influenced when she has something to compare it to.

Godric asked if she was ready and she nodded and felt dislike and disgust fill her before fading into hatred. Sookie felt it so deeply that her body was shaking with the effort of housing such foreign emotions. Sookie has felt dislike and disgust before, but she has never truly hated anyone. It just wasn't in her.

"Too much!" Sookie gasped. They stopped immediately and Sookie felt nothing other than her own emotions. Even when they flooded her with other feelings she kept a close eye on her own emotions, she was concentrated and then she became shocked.

Sookie felt the foreign emotions flood her and overpower hers until she almost couldn't even fell anything other than what they wanted her to. She thought back to when she first met Eric, she was curious at first and had felt attraction for him (not too much, she knew often what could hide behind pretty faces) and a little offended when he kicked that man.

But she initially could understand, if someone touched her when she didn't want to be touched she would slap them (she had done it before).

While kicking people was extreme, Eric was 1,000 years old she also now knew he was a Viking King so she had no doubt that when he was human he could have had someone beheaded or killed for touching him without permission. So in hindsight kicking was probably one of the least offensive things he could have done to that man.

She reflects on her feelings in Fangtasia and she remembers being immediately filled with disgust and loathing which made her pause, as a telepath she has always refrained from judging someone too quickly until she knows their story, but here she was suddenly hating the handsome man on the throne instantly for almost no reason. And every time after that she always felt the same emotions.

The few times she saw him without Bill she wasn't disgusted by him, she was just annoyed (since he always flirted) and was curt with him. Looking back she can see how her emotions were false and manipulated by another, she didn't think anything of how strongly she felt because she never knew someone could overpower her emotions (but she should have wondered since telepaths exist so why not empaths or something along that note).

Sookie felt better. She now knew that her body didn't betray her - that it was Bill who manipulated her into hating Eric and being harsh around him. She still felt a little hesitant, but that was understandable considering how long she had been 'trained' to hate him (she never thought she would know how it felt to be Pavlov's dogs, but now she knew).

She was still working on moving past that, and seeing Bill display his true self as well as seeing Eric be a genuine man with real feelings has helped her. Sookie believes that now that she knows what happened with her emotions that it would be much easier to become friends with Eric.

"Are you alright little one?" Godric's voice broke through her musing. She didn't realize that she had paused staring at one point on the wall with her emotions going slightly erratic until she calmed herself.

It worried them.

"I'm fine. I just realized that I had felt my emotions being manipulated many times before."

"…I am sorry." Eric said, "I know how awful it is to feel out of control."

Sookie was surprised, she never saw him as not being in control of every situation he fund himself in.

"You?" Sookie said shocked.

He quirked a small smile at her that made her insides flutter. His hair was not gelled to the sides and a few strands flopped in front of his clear blue eyes. He must have been the epitome of Viking beauty, the extremely light blonde hair and the bluest eyes she had ever seen (viking girls must have gone crazy for him). They looked like the pictures she had seen of the ocean in Cancun. Clear and crystalline.

He gave a deep rumbling laugh as he sat on the floor in front of her cross-legged. "Yes me. I was not always a thousand year old vampire with super senses and strength."

"No, I know. You just seem like the type to never give up control."

"It wasn't voluntary lover."

"What happened?" She almost didn't want to ask what happened due to his expression. He seemed haunted by something. How could she ever have believed he was emotionless and cold?

"I was human at the time. As you know my father was the King and I was the prince. My mother and father were excellent rulers, my father ruled with a stern fist but he was still beloved. My title -unlike Godric's- was hereditary, so I was to be the next King."

Godric had already heard the story, but nonetheless sat down next to Sookie to listen.

"My mother was the most beautiful woman in the village, my father claimed that it took him two years of courting and running out all of her previous suitors in order for her to say yes! She said that she had to make him work since all of the village girls fell to his feet and she refused to be like that." He looked at her knowingly with his brows raised.

"She was a strong woman, a worthy wife for a King. She ruled when the men left to go on raids and she and the women did farm work while raising their sons and daughters."

Sookie could see that Eric loved his mother, it was practically tangible.

"I was 22, my parents were wanting me to marry or at least enter into a betrothal, but I was not through sowing my wild oats. My mother was worrying - she wanted me to have a wife and to give her grandchildren, she knew how easily men were killed on raids, but I was so assured of my immortality."

He gave a rueful smile at the last.

"I was in the process of attempting to convince the chambermaid to lay with me, she was one of the few who held out hoping to become the next queen, but that night I managed to convince her."

His face darkened and his voice lowered. "I was fucking the maid when it happened. A man came to the door and asked for shelter, my father being a good man granted it and offered him something to drink – as was custom. I know this because of the servant that survived the slaughter, and he said that he was not thirsty for the mead being offered. He was a vampire and he attacked my father and was draining him."

He looked Sookie in the eyes and said, "My mother had walked in with my baby sister on her hip, interrupting him. The stranger turned his attentions from my father to them, he killed my mother and my innocent little sister. After that moment I was the last of my family.

I heard the screams, stopped fucking the girl and grabbed my sword. It was too late they all had left, my mother and sister were already dead, my father was on the brink of death, he had managed to swear me to vengeance before he passed."

He sighed.

"You found him right?" Sookie asked, she wanted it to be true so badly, so that his family could rest in peace knowing that their murderer no longer roamed the same earth as their son.

"No. I swore to my father that I would kill him or die searching for him."

Sookie felt heartbroken. She cant imagine how she would have felt if she walked in and her Gran was on the brink of death having her swear to capture the person that did it and then living for 1,000 years with that promise unfulfilled. It was an immense weight to carry, especially alone.

She sat down next to him on the floor and placed her hand on his and said, "You will find them and they will pay. What do you know about them?"

"I know that it was an old vampire, who controlled a large pack of were's, which is an oddity because vampires and were's tend to avoid each other. He stole my father's crown from his head while he was dying. I can feel it in my bones that he is still alive and that my oath is still active."

Sookie felt rage fill her at that. It was bad enough that the vampire killed his entire family, but he also stole the crown that Eric's father expected to pass down to his son, and his son, and his son, and so forth. That murderer had no right to it! She turned to Godric to see his expression, but he was no longer next to her so she moved back to Eric.

"At least if you ever see that crown again you know that person is the killer, since murderers who take trophies keep them to remember and look at them. They always keep them in an easily accessible place that they can see."

He looked at her, smiled, and teased, "Now I will have to break into the libraries and resting places of every vampire in the world!"

Godric had vamped back into the room after he disappeared. He stepped in their eyesight, "I sent Ludwig a message and asked if she would be willing to see us when we return to Louisiana, I should receive a response soon." He turned to Sookie and lifted her off the floor and back to the couch, which suddenly had a tall Nordic sitting on it.

"Perhaps we should get ready, we need to leave soon to head over to the nest."

Sookie nodded and said, "Should we exchange now?"

"Yes, if you like I can get a glass from the kitchen and you can drink our blood from there if it is more comfortable for you."

Sookie thought about it, she didn't have a problem when she pulled the silver from them so it shouldn't be any different now.

"No it's alright."

Eric was smiling at the idea of her perfect lips pursed on his skin again.

"Lets get started." Sookie turned to see Eric leering at her.

She rolled her eyes, but sat between them nonetheless. "Are we doing this at the same time?"

"Yes we will both drink from you while you alternate drinking from our wrists." Eric said with a lick of his lips.

Sookie looked at his lips and wondered if they are as soft as they look, wondered if Godric will be as gentle as his personality suggests, and she wondered if she should be this happy after finding out that her first serious boyfriend was a lying jerk face.

Eric upon seeing her fascination with his lips leaned forward and placed them on her neck.

Sookie gasped when the object of her thoughts was suddenly pressing kisses on her skin, he left long lingering touches and occasionally gave her a little nip with his fangs when they got caught on her flesh. Warmth moved down her body and concentrated on her center which she could feel becoming damp, she crossed her legs in the futile hope that they wouldn't notice, his nostrils flared at the smell and he licked a path down to her collarbones.

She was nearly hyperventilating by the end and she turned to Godric in the hopes that he could help clear her mind of the warm haze that spread through her. What she saw shocked her, Godric was looking at her his chest heaving as he scented the air perfumed with Sookie's exquisite arousal, his Childe was at her neck and she was looking at him with attraction.

His eyes had darkened and she thought his pupil must have taken over his entire eye, since she could no longer see the mossy green. His fangs peaked out and his entire body was tense as if he was ready to spring. She had never seen him look so vampiric. She gave a mewling moan as Eric began sucking giving her a hicky as her surface blood-vessels popped forming the 'bruise'.

Suddenly Godric was next to her on the other side, the one that Eric was not occupying. He too placed his mouth on her neck, but neither of them bit yet.

Godric swiped out his tongue and tasted her. Sookie gasped out a moan, Eric was now nuzzling her as his maker took over her neck. Eric ran his nose along her jaw scenting her and the arousal that surrounded her, her perspiration tasted heavenly he thought as he licked on her jawbone.

"Stop." Godric said both turned to look at him, he was extremely aroused his linen pants tenting as his fangs showed same as Eric who had his palm pressing down on the tent of his pants. "She deserves better than this, better than a quick moment with no certainties. We must get to Isabel and none of us will ever leave if we get started now."

Sookie nodded when the lust haze lowered a bit, she was a little shocked at how she reacted, but was soon distracted from that when Godric bit into his wrist and offered it to her.

She brought the wrist to her mouth and she nearly moaned at the taste of it. The pure earthy quality that was completely Godric flooded her mouth, she once again felt as is she was in that mossy damp forest as she pulled more through her lips. She threw her head back as she felt his fangs pierce her neck, her lips were bloody as she looked at Eric.

Eric could take no more, as soon as Sookie's eyes met his - her lips covered in his maker's blood- he bit his own wrist as he joined his maker at her neck.

Sookie could not describe the feeling of two fangs buried in her neck, she thought no wonder there are so many fang bangers, this is amazing! All of the donors at the Hotel were generally pretty happy with their jobs (except the ones that had to deal with Bill – poor girls), they got paid to be bitten and get this wonderful feeling all the time.

She took Eric's wrist to her mouth now and she washed down Godric's taste with Eric's cool blood, like a glass of water filled with ice. Godric tasted like warmth and calm and Eric tasted like a refreshing and surprising cold.

She could feel them now, in the back of her head. Not their voices but their voids almost as if they became a part of her. The three aura colors moved between the three bodies, completely connected by blood. Purple, light blue, and gold moved back and forth together making a tangible connection between them.

It is almost done they all heard in their minds. Godric immediately knew who it is as he pulled away from Sookie, loving the sensation of her in their lap, their blood running through her veins and dripping down her lips. It was the Gods.

Eric recognized the voice of Frigga in the group of voices, his mother's patron Goddess and pulled away as well.

Sookie heard it as well, but being a telepath she was used to voices in her head and disregarded it.

She no longer felt any pain in her breast or her hips so she stood up and ran her hands along her body checking to see if it was truly gone. When she was satisfied that there was nothing she turned back to them.

"If you ever feel like touching yourself again, I will be happy to watch and I'm sure Godric would not object either. I enjoy shows." Eric said with a fangy little smile as he threw a wink her way.

"I'm sure you would." Sookie said exasperated.

"All is well?" Godric asked, "Everything is healed."

"Yes." Sookie nodded.

"As I expected, Eric and I have very potent blood. Should you get into a fight with a vampire less than 200 years old I would expect you to be able to win."

Sookie's brows rose, she didn't know she would get that much extra strength. Gabe and her Uncle would not be able to hurt her now, and neither would Bill since he was not yet 200.

She smiled at them and stood up, she wanted to go change and get ready to visit with Isabel. She was going to tell them that when a pounding sounded at the door.

"ERIC! Open the damn door!"

Eric vamped towards the door mentally rolling his eyes as he pulled it open. "Yes Billium?"

"Where is Sookeh!? What have you done with her?"

Next is Billium! What could he want?! I should have it up by next Friday if I don't have another sucky week (but I might since Exams start).
