A/N: Hey guys, so I just wanted to say I love all the support you guys are giving me but the reviews have been lacking as of late. If some of you could just take the time, if you could of course, to review I would really appreciate it. I know a lot of you are following the story and I love to hear your thoughts on everything. So please if you have the time at all, please review! Thanks!
I waited in the room for Eric, feeling nervous now that the high I was feeling was gone. My nerves were running ramped through my body as I knew that Eric and I would have to talk about our new bond.
I twisted the sheet of blanket I had in my hand over and over again until my hand started to hurt.
I didn't regret the bond, I loved Eric but now that I look back on it I wished we waited. I wish we didn't have this Bill situation looming over our heads, I wish I didn't have to worry about Warlow…
Holy shit Warlow, I forgot about him In the midst of everything.
What was I going to do about that, I mean Eric was older but Warlow was fae, what if he still had some of his fae powers?
"Fuck." I curled up into a ball as I laid down.
Why did all this stuff have to happen now?
Some days I just wish that I really was just a waitress, a dumb blonde waitress.
But then I would be human, and I was far from that….
Wait, I forgot to ask the fae about my powers.
Russell said that they had a surprise for me concerning that issue.
"Shit." I got up out of the bed.
"Claude I know you can hear me, come here right now!" I yelled, knowing that they could hear me.
"Sookie, I should not be here." I gasped as I turned around and saw Claude.
"Am I really losing my powers?"
"What?"
"You heard me; I have some inside knowledge that I may not be losing my powers after all."
"Who told you that?" He asked and I could see some nervousness behind his eyes.
"None of you business, now tell me the truth." I stared him down and he sighed.
"You're not losing your powers."
"Then what's happening to me?"
"You're becoming stronger, your powers will mature to that of a full blooded fae each time you use them. It's only because you have royal blood."
"Royal blood?"
"Yes, our common relative was the king of the fae before he was captured by Mab. We tried for a very long time to rescue him but we failed each time."
"What's his name?"
"Niall Brigant, he is my grandfather and your great grandfather."
"No he's not." I've seen pictures of my great grandfather and he died a long time ago.
"Your grandfather, Earl Stackhouse, was adopted and he never knew about this. Niall was his biological father."
"So I'm just going to become a fae?"
"No, you will still be you just more powerful."
"Why didn't you tell me that before?" He really didn't have a reason to lie.
"We thought if we told you that then you would use your powers more to become the one thing you wanted most, human."
Those assholes.
"You son of a bitch, you lied to me just to get me more like you."
"Sookie you must understand what you have is a gift, you are so much more. You are destined for greatness." He reached out for my hand but I jumped back.
"But I don't want that! I want to be normal, I never asked for any of this." I felt the tears coming on.
I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders and everyone expected me to just grin and bear it. I was through being everyone's puppet.
"Well accept it, this is your life my dear heart. I'm sorry that you feel like this is a curse but don't you see that you are the key to stopping Bill and Warlow. You can fight back when so many others will just die in the process." He had a point but this was still all too much.
"How do you know that I won't die in the process?"
"Because others will sacrifice themselves for you to live."
That was it; they were all counting on my friends and family to die for me.
Just like they always did…
"I won't let them."
"Do you have a choice?" He asked sarcastically and shook his head.
"I must be going."
"Wait, are you going to help us with Bill?" I asked him.
"You are asking a lot of us."
"Please we need your help and know that if we die so will you."
"And we will die in battle anyway. You can't honestly think we will make it through this without casualties."
"I don't, but if you help then there won't be as many."
"Do you have a plan?"
"We will."
He sighed and nodded, "You have our help, but I don't know how many fae will be willing to help but I will be there."
"Thank you, also how do I light bond?"
"That's where I cross the line, I will not let you bond like that with a vampire."
"Please."
"Figure it out by yourself."
He disappeared and I cursed loudly at his stubbornness.
At least he would help with Bill, now I just needed to convince the wolves.
I walked over to the dresser and sent a quick text to Alcide, Sam, and Lafayette.
"Call me as soon as you get this, we need your help."
I put down the phone and began to pace around the room.
How was I going to figure out light bonding with Eric?
Did I blast him with my light, no I already did that.
Shit, this was all just so hard.
I hear a small popping sound and I looked over to the dresser to see a note laying there.
"What the hell?"
I walked over to it and picked it up.
"Look deep indie yourself and grab his hand. Let the love flow between you two and let your light fill him."
I read it over and over again and I tried to think about who would send this type of letter to me.
As I sat back on the bed I realized the smell of fae might be intoxicating to Eric so I ran and grabbed my perfume and tried to spray some.
I hope that helps.
"Hey." I turned behind me to see Eric standing there.
"How much longer do we have till sunrise?" I asked him.
"A little longer, was a fairy in here?"
"Yeah my cousin, want to hear some interesting news?"
His eyes seemed to glaze over but he shook his head and controlled himself.
I could feel his passion, lust, and hunger but I controlled myself along with him.
"What?"
"My powers are becoming stronger."
"That's good." He sat down on the bed next to me and his closeness made me relax a little.
"Yeah but they lied to me, they told me I could become human. I should have known they were lying."
"Don't think like that, being human is overrated." I laughed and I took his hand as we both laid down.
"He also said that they would help us with Bill."
"Good."
"How's Pam dealing with everything?"
"She does not want to leave, she feels like a coward, but they will leave tonight."
"I'm sorry I couldn't help them too, but I could only bond with one." He smiled as I sad that and kissed me.
"I'm glad you chose me."
"Well it was against you and Pam." He laughed.
As the silence filled the room I could feel the worry in the bond coming from Eric.
"Do you regret it?" He asked me and I shook my head.
"No, do you?"
"I wish we had more time, but we didn't."
"So does that mean you regret it?"
"No, I do not." He tightened his grip on my hand.
"But if we didn't have this deadline looming over us, would you still want to bond with me?"
"Sookie I would have bonded with you anyway, it was just sooner than anticipated."
"I just don't want you hating me over this," I told him.
"I could never hate you, maybe angry sometimes but never hate you. I love you and sometimes I wish I didn't but I do. You saved me so many times and even though I tried to fight it for as long as I could I fell in love with you. I don't regret anything we have done together, because in the end it made us closer."
"I love you." I kissed him and I could feel him getting a little do into the kiss.
"So I wanted to try something before you go dead for the day." I knew he could feel my nerves racking up again and I tried to relax.
"What?"
"Well to really keep you safe from Bill I have to bond with you another way…"
"What way is that?"
"The fae way."
"I have never heard of a vampire and fairy bonding in such a way."
"Until now, now keep still."
He sat up with me and I took in a deep breath.
"You want to do this right?" I asked him.
"Whatever helps us against Bill…. And I want this." He kissed me and I nodded.
"Okay." I took his hand and focused on the bond we already had.
I took another deep breath and focused on the love we had. I imagined the light I had inside of me and I focused on giving it to him.
I felt a warm sensation flow through me and I smiled at the feel of it.
I moaned in pleasure as the light flowed through me. I focused on giving it to Eric and I heard Eric moan a little as well.
As I opened my eyes and gasped as I saw my light from my hand travel through Eric's body.
I let go of his hand and the light dimmed slowly. When he opened his eyes he smiled widely.
"That was amazing."
"Did that hurt you?" I asked him.
"No, it felt like the sun itself was inside of me. I felt like my own heart start to beat again, I felt human." He laughed with under amazement and kissed me hard.
"That was the most amazing experience; I can't even begin to tell you." He continued to kiss you.
"So did it work?" I asked him.
"How can we tell?" He asked me, not really caring.
He was still so full of joy he just continued to place kisses all over me.
I giggled and I decided I really didn't care, I would ask Claude how to find out later.
He just continued to kiss until Eric stopped and sighed.
"What?" I asked him, disappointed that he stopped.
"The sun is coming up."
As he got up he froze.
"What?"
"I can't smell the fairy anymore, I mean I can still smell him but I'm not craving it. It smells normal to me." Was that the light bond working?
"What do you mean?"
"I mean I'm not losing control over it."
"That could be proof that the light bond worked." I smiled widely as I got up and jumped on him.
I kissed him again, proud of myself that I did it, and proud of the fact that I just saved Eric from Bill for good.
Now I just needed to worry about everyone else.
I kissed him one more time.
I hear my stomach growl and I realized I haven't eaten in a while.
"Go rest, I'll go make myself something to eat."
"Okay, I'll leave the door on auto lock for you. It will lock in an hour." He kissed me and I walked out of the room.
I lightly closed the steel door and hoped it wouldn't lock.
As I walked down the stairs everything looked so dark and creepy in the early morning like this. I could see the sun making its way up as I walked over to the kitchen.
"About time you came down."
I screamed as I saw a mysterious woman sitting at my kitchen table.
Her hair was dark and her eyes were a vibrant shade of green. She was extremely pretty and pale as she smiled and showed me her perfectly white teeth.
"Sookie."
I turned around and Saw Eric by my side with his fangs out.
"Eric get out of here the sun…"
I looked and saw he wasn't burning at all, nor did it look like the sun was bothering him.
"Holy shit." Eric looked at his own body and looked back at me with complete shock.
"Well this just got more interesting." The woman said as she clapped and laughed.
