We'll Meet Again in Death

Chapter 7: Love Holds You to Me

"Hunter let me into your head. Show me your dream." Hunter reluctantly let down his guard and I watched his dream play out before me.

Hunter was being dragged away from me by his vampire captor. I could feel his pain and his anger build inside of him as He heard me scream for him.

"Don't worry we will take better care of you than she would ever be able to." The vampire had an evil grin on his face as he continued to run.

Hunter's hands were free and he grabbed the vampire by the neck. At first all the vampire did was laugh until Hunter's hands started searing his flesh.

The vampire crumpled in pain onto the ground still trying to cling to Hunter so he could get free. Hunter scratched and clawed at the vampire leaving scorch marks everywhere he touched him.

I could feel that Hunter's mind was completely blank. He had no clue of what he was doing. His instinct had kicked in and taken over control of him.

Hunter removed the vampires head and grinned up at it. "Can you take better care of me now?" He laughed and then fell to the ground.

"That's when Mr. Eric came and took me back to you." The real Hunter said as his dream ended.

"You don't remember any of this happening?" Hunter shook his head he was confused and concerned.

"I don't like the Hunter in my dreams." He frowned at me and clung to my neck.

"What else has this other Hunter done in your dreams?" Hunter sobbed into my shoulder and shut his mind off to me.

"Nothing." He let his face and mind go blank and then started drawing a new picture.

I knew I needed to call Eric. I didn't know what to think about the things that Hunter was doing in his dreams. Did that really happen or was it just a normal childhood nightmare?

I let him continue to draw as I went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. I tried to distract myself and not let my mind wander to what I had just seen.

I didn't know if I really wanted to tell anyone about it. If the vampires knew what Hunter was capable of they would take him from me or worse kill him.

Hunter ran in the kitchen to show me the drawing he had made of Jason, Myself, and Hunter standing in front of our house holding hands.

"That's beautiful Hunter." I smiled down at him and put his food in front of him on the table.

Eric showed up in the middle of dinner after the sun had gone down. He had brought a present for Hunter with him.

Hunter quickly unwrapped the present to reveal an elaborate arts and crafts set. It had everything he needed to make any craft that he wanted. Hunter beamed and wrapped his tiny arms around Eric.

"Aunt Sookie can I be excused?" He jumped up and down in excitement.

"Just eat a little more of your veggies." Hunter stuffed the rest of his veggies in his mouth and took off into his room.

"How did you know that he loved to be artsy?" I smiled up at Eric and relaxed in his presence.

"I thought every child loved art." He seemed very human at that moment like he was thinking way back into his past.

"Thank you Eric. I know he'll absolutely love it." I contemplated telling Eric about the picture Hunter had drawn and his dream but figured I would save it for another time. At least if Hunter had that gift that would mean he would be safe for now.

"I came here to see you really. I just thought it might help me earn some brownie points with the boy." He pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead.

"Eric, Amelia came over and told me she is getting married to Barry. They other telepath that I met in Dallas." Eric laid his head against mine.

"I assume you will be going? Do you know if it will be after the sun goes down?"

"No but I will ask her. Will you go with me if it is?" I looked up into his eyes and could feel the love flowing off of him.

"It would honor me to go with you Sookie. What will you wear?" He grinned at me and pulled me closer to him.

"I'm not sure yet. I'll probably pick something up from Tara's Togs. I'm sure she'll love to help me pick something out."

"I'm sure Pam would love to help you too. She loves weddings although she doesn't believe in them."

"What about you do you have something to wear?" I grinned as I pictured him in a tux.

"Oh I think I can dig something out that might be suitable." He kissed me all down my neck and then back up to my lips.

"Eric what about Hunter? I wouldn't feel right with him in the house now."

"Well my lover there are other things we can do that don't include sex." He kissed me some more and carried me to the couch. "I don't have to sleep with you every time I see you. Just being with you is enough but only on occasion." He winked.

"Well this I have got to witness then. I can't imagine what 'other' things we can do to distract ourselves."

Eric held up his finger and raced back out to his car. He came back in seconds later with another box in hand.

"I got this for all of us." He pulled out Battleship and I laughed.

"I didn't know vampires played board games." I continued to snicker and Eric called out for Hunter to join us.

We enjoyed taking turns sinking each other's battleships. Hunter and I were not allowed to use our telepathy to cheat. Surprisingly Hunter was beating us both and enjoying it.

Eric helped me put Hunter to sleep and then he carried me into my bed.

"So now that I have proved I can do something other than arouse you do I get a reward?" I scuffed and rolled on top of him.

"Well I guess I could work something out."

Eric's hands found their way down to the zipper on my pants. He slowly removed them driving me crazy with impatient desires. I felt like I couldn't wait another second to make love to him any way possible. I squirmed and he sensed me trying to rush him.

"Impatient today are we my love?" He had finished removing my pants and moved up to my shirt. "Would it please you if I was to rip this off of you right now?"

I despirately shook my head yes begging him to do it.

Eric mischievously smiled down at me. Instead he gently and slowly took my shirt off all the while with that evil smile on his face.

After what seemed like forever I was finally touching every part of him and him touching every part of me. We moved with each other enjoying every second of it.

I fell asleep in his arms after a long session of love making and sighed. Would I ever get tired of that. I really don't think so.

The next morning I awoke and turned over to find a note next to my bed with heart printed on it.

Lover,

I wish I could be there to wake up with you in the morning. I wish I could eat breakfast with you every day. But since I can't I will leave you a good morning love note instead.

I will be with you always lover. Not even the sun will keep me from loving you.

When I saw love,
I did not know.
Love was there
to be taken slow.

I didn't feel love,
when it first appeared.
All I felt was
the empty air.

Then one day,
it happened,
and arrow struck
from heaven.

The arrow
pierced my heart,
But the coldness
had never depart.

I wouldn't fall in love,
but it was far too deep.
It wasn't ignorable,
so soon, it got into my sleep:

Horrible nightmares,
Peaceful dreams,
the love was like
an aurora beam.

I never knew that Eric could be a hopeless romantic but I did know he was full of surprises. I knew then that he truly loved me. A vampire's heart can truly be warmed by love no matter who he was. I was his and he was mine….forever.

A/N: Another chapter just for my fans. Hope you enjoyed. I added a little more detail to the sex scene as requested ;). If you want more you'll just have to keep reading. Eric and Sookie are just intoxicating together. Remember to leave a review. Motivation is the key to success and only you can make that possible.
