Erik pulled back from Ann. He could feel her blood healing him. He looked down and the silver that was on the stake was slowly oozing out.

"Find a shovel," said Erik.

Erik brought his wrist up to his mouth and bit into it causing it to bleed. He pressed his wrist to Ann's mouth hoping that this would work. Pam came back with a shovel and Erik pulled his wrist away form Ann's mouth.

"Follow me," said Erik standing with Ann in his arms.

Pam dug a hole in a near by vacant lot for Erik and Ann. Erik got in the hole and laid Ann down on the ground beside him. Pam quickly covered them back up with the dirt. Erik closed his eyes and prayed to the gods that this would work.

At nightfall the next night Pam came back to the spot she had buried Erik and Ann. She sat down on a chair she had brought with her. Slowly the ground started to move and be displaced. Erik slowly emerged from the ground and looked at Pam. Erik turned back to watch for Ann.

"Do you think it worked?" asked Pam.

Erik did not answer her. Pam nodded knowing that he didn't know himself.

After another ten minutes the earth started to move again. Slowly a hand emerged from the ground, followed by another until the upper half on Ann's body was showing from the ground.

"What happened?" asked Ann once she was completely out of the ground.

"I will explain later. Right now you need a shower," said Erik.

Pam walked up to Ann and grabbed her hand and started walking off in the direction of Fangtasia. Pam led Ann to the shower that the dancers used. Ann stepped into the shower stall and started to shower. Pam brought her clothes that she could wear for the time being.

"Where is she?" asked Erik.

"Still in the shower," said Pam. "What are we going to do about her?"

"She will stay here. She can be a waitress if she so pleases after she has had some training," said Erik.

"Okay," said Pam. "Who is going to tell her that her uncle tried to kill her and basically succeeded?"

"I will," said Erik. "Go get ready for tonight."

Pam nodded and stood up and walked out of the office. Erik followed shortly after and walked to the back of the club to wait on Ann to finish her shower.

Once Ann was down with her shower she pulled on the pants and t-shirt that Pam had left her. She walked out of the stall to Yvetta staring at her.

"Hello," said Ann.

Yvetta gave her a smug grin before getting in the shower. Ann walked out of the bathroom and started walking through the halls. At the end of one hall was a painting where Erik was standing looking at it.

"Erik?" said Ann walking down the hall.

Erik didn't say anything, he just kept staring at the painting.

"Erik?" said Ann again when she came up next to him.

Ann turned to look at the painting. It was of Erik and Pam in the early 1900s.

"Ni kommer inte att vilja höra detta, men jag måste säga ändå. Förstå?" said Erik.

"Okay," said Ann.

"What do you remember from last nigh?" asked Erik.

"Mike came into the bar," said Ann furrowing her brows. "He said something, then you were hovering over me, then nothing."

Erik sighed when he looked over at Ann.

"Come with me," said Erik.

Erik brought Ann back to his office and had her sit on the couch.

"What is wrong?" asked Ann.

"Your uncle shot you," said Erik.

Ann gasped at this statement.

'Him shooting you resulted in me being stabbed by a silver covered stake," said Erik.

"Oh, god," said Ann as she remembered. "You fed on me."

"I didn't want to because you were dying," said Erik. "But you practically begged me too. So in return I turned you."

Ann froze. She looked up at Erik then back down at the floor.

"Varför har ni inte bara låta mig dö?" asked Ann.

Erik walked over to Ann and knelt down in front of her. He put his hand under her chin to make her look at him.

"You have a spirit in you that I haven't seen in over a thousand years. You still believe in the gods," said Erik. "You have awoken something in me that has been asleep for so long."

"Meaning he loves you," said Pam from the door. "I hate to interrupt, but Nan is here."

Erik sighed and stood up. He followed Pam out into the main club and greeted Nan.

"Erik," she said.

"Nan," said Erik.

"We have gotten word that there was an attack here last night," said Nan.

"Everything has been taken care of," said Erik.

"Including whoever attacked you?" asked Nan.

"In the process of dealing with that," said Erik.

"Human or a vampire?" asked Nan.

"Human," said Erik. "His initial attack was on another human in the club."

"And you were attacked why, then?" asked Nan.

"Because I interfered," said Erik.

"Whatever. Deal with the human," said Nan walking out of the club. "Where is the human he was after."

Erik nodded towards his office.

"Lunch?" asked Nan walking over to the door.

"No!" shouted Erik stopping her.

"She dead?" asked Nan.

"In a way," said Pam.

"You turned her?" asked Nan.

"Yes," said Erik.

"Deal with her properly, sheriff," said Nan walking out of the club.

Erik retreated back into his office to find Ann lying back on the couch staring at the ceiling.

"You must be hungry," said Erik.

"I don't want to kill someone to feed," said Ann.

'You don't have to kill to feed," said Erik. "Kom härlig, jag vill visa dig."

Ann stood up and followed Erik out into the club then out into the parking lot. He opened the door to his car for her to get in before getting in the drivers seat and pulling off. They drove for an hour before they reached a small town north of Shreveport.

"Where are we?" asked Ann.

"No idea," smiled Erik.

"Berätta sanningen, varför du slår mig?"

Erik got out of the car and sat down on the hood on the car. Ann got out of the car and went to stand in front of him.

Ann brought her hand up to his face to cup it. Erik leaned into her hand and closed his eyes.

"Tell me you love me. Tell me that is why you turned me," said Ann.

"Jag vet inte vad kärlek är längre," said Erik.

"You know, in here," said Ann putting her hand over Erik's heart. "It may not beat, but you know what love is. And until you tell me what you really feel, I…I can't stay."

Ann reached up and kissed Erik on the lips before she turned around and ran off towards the town. Erik sat there for a minute before he took off after her.

Ann was walking down the road when someone grabbed her and dragged her into an alleyway.

"Well aren't you pretty," said the man.

Ann struggled to get free.

"You shouldn't walk alone in the dark," said the man.

"You shouldn't grab strange women off the street," said Ann.

"What?" asked the guy slamming Ann into the wall.

"Jag är vampyr," said Ann.

Ann overpowered the man, slamming him into the opposite wall. She brought her lips down to his neck, fangs extended, and bit into him. She started drinking his blood. Slowly he stopped squirming.

"Stopp," said Erik walking up. "Härligt, du måste stoppa."

Ann pulled back from the man, who dropped to the ground.

"I didn't kill him, did I?" asked Ann.

"No," said Erik. "Look at me."

Ann looked up at Erik. Erik smiled at her since she still had blood around her mouth.

"Annika Evangeline Erikkson, I love you and that is why I changed you. I couldn't go another thousand years without you," said Erik.

Ann wrapped her arms around Erik's neck and brought him down in a kiss, albeit a bloody kiss. Erik pulled away from Ann and wiped the blood from her mouth and licked it off his thumb.

"I think I can get used to this," said Ann.

"Can I ask one thing of you?" asked Erik brushing the hair out of Ann's face.

"What?" asked Ann.

"Go by your real name?" asked Erik.

"For you, anything," said Ann.

Erik smiled and picked Ann up. Ann wrapped her legs around Erik's waist as he walked farther into the alleyway. Erik finally sets Ann down on a dumpster top. He reached up and runs his hand up her arms then down over her breasts. Ann moans softly when Erik does that. Erik slowly moves his hands down to the button of the jeans Ann was wearing. He un buttoned them and pulled the zipper down. He tugged on the pants twice and the came off. Erik noted the fact that Ann was without panties.

"Pam," said Ann when she saw the look on Erik's face. "She seemed to have left them out of the wardrobe."

Erik smiled making a mental note to thank Pam later. With in seconds his pants were down around his ankles. He pulled Ann forwards and off the dumpster. He pulled Ann down on top of him, slamming into her. Ann let out a guttural moan when Erik slid into her.

Without a second thought Erik slammed into her repeatedly.

"Oh god….Erik!" moaned Ann.

"Annika…fuck…" moaned Erik sliding in and out of her.

"Oh, god faster," said Ann wrapping her arms around his neck.

Erik complied and went into vampire speed as he slammed into her. He backed her up against the wall to steady them.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck….yeah…oh god….ERRRRIIIIKKK!" shouted Ann as she came.

"ANNIKA!" shouted Erik.

Erik slammed into her a few more times before he removed himself from her and sat her feet back on the ground. Ann reached over and grabbed her pants and pulled them back on. Erik pulled his pants back up and buttoned them.

"Kom min älskade, nu när du har ätit kan vi tillbringa hela natten tillsammans," said Erik

Ann took Erik's extended hand and followed him back to his car. As they reached the opening of the alley the man that had originally attacked Ann was now conscience.

"You stupid Fanger whore!" shouted the mane from the ground.

Ann turned to look at him, fangs extended. But before she could do anything Erik had already snapped his neck.

"So Much for not killing him," chuckled Ann.

Erik shrugged and kissed Ann and continued the walk back to the car.
