CHAPTER 10

SOOKIE POV

After a long night of shopping, Pam and I were on our way back to Eric's house.

When we got home, Pam helped me unload my shopping bags and put them in one of the guest rooms, deciding to deal with them tomorrow night.

Afterwards, I got two bottled bloods from the refrigerator and brought them to the living room. Eric should be home soon, so we decided to have a chat while we waited for him.

Sitting down on the couch, Pam and I drank our blood as we talked.

Pam began, "So, how do you like shopping in Shreveport? I know it's not quite Paris, but we do have some designer stores here as well."

"I had a wonderful time, Pam. True, it's not the same, but there were still some nice shops. Plus, I enjoyed spending time with you." I replied, giving her a soft smile.

Pam replied, "I had a great time too, Sookie. I'm glad to finally have some alone time with you.

"You have no idea how long I've been dreaming of this. Eric has been talking about you, non-stop, for decades. I've been wanting to meet you and hoped to have a close relationship with you. Although, I must admit that I was a little afraid of meeting you."

I was surprised to hear her admission. From what I learned, Pam was the type not easily rattled about anyone, or anything for that matter.

Frowning at her last statement, I asked, "Why were you afraid to meet me?"

"Well… I was afraid that you would not approve of me, being Eric's child. I thought that, maybe you wouldn't like me and think that I did not deserve to have Eric as my master."

Gently, "Oh, Pam. I trust that Eric would never turn someone unworthy of the immortal gift. Though I had never met you before, I had no doubt that you were an extraordinary vampire. After Eric told me that he found you and wanted to turn you, I never once worried that you would be undeserving to be his child," I said.

Reaching her hand, I continued, "Now that I've finally met you, there is no one in the world who deserves to be Eric's child more than you. You are an amazing vampire and I am proud to have you as part of my small family."

"Tell you what, after our little problem with Sophie-Anne is taken care of, I'll take you to Paris and treat you to another shopping trip," I added, jovially.

Leaning forward, I gave her a kiss on the forehead and patted her cheek gently before settling against the back of the couch.

Pam replied sincerely, "Thank you, Sookie. I am honored to be a part of your family," and returned my smile.

Smirking, "What's more… you can definitely count me in on shopping in Paris. I would never turn that down," she said enthusiastically.

I chuckled and asked, "When we were shopping earlier, didn't you have a hard time being around that many humans. I know you have no problem when you are in the club but you are surrounded by much more humans in the mall compared to Fangtasia. Their thoughts must have been bombarding you?"

"Not really. I mastered my shields a while ago. I don't hear anything unless I want to. I can easily put my shields up or down, just like a switch. Of course, during my first years, it was hard… but, Eric trained me to control my gift."

"Eric told me that, aside from humans, your gift only works with Weres and witches; not vampires. What about fairies? Have you ever tried reading one?"

Pam replied, "Well, I've never tried since I have never been able to get close enough to one."

"Try reading me." I suggested since I am still part-fairy.

Pam and I stared at each other, but I felt nothing.

A minute later, Pam shrugged, "I can't hear anything."

"Interesting. Is it the same with Eric as well, he has some fairy blood in him too."

"Yes. I tried reading him when we first discovered my gift, but he's as blank as other vampires."

"Well, you couldn't hear me, but I'm only half fairy. You should try reading a full-blooded fairy. When you see my father, try reading him or maybe one of his guards."

"Okay."

"Tell me the truth Pam, did you ever wish that you could be rid of your gift?"

Pam looked surprised at my question, answering instead, "Of course not! There was never a time that I wished that. It's true that I've had some hard times with my telepathy, but I've never regretted having it. Being telepath is a part of me and I wouldn't have it any other way."

She continued, grinning, "Besides, it's been quite useful," and wiggled her eyebrows at me.

"I am sure Eric mentioned that telepathy is a trait for some sky fairies. Your vampire gift came from the fairy blood that you have inside you. As you know, some of my fairy blood transferred to Eric when I turned him therefore, when he turned you, some of that fairy blood passed on to you. That is also why our blood is sweeter than other vampires."

"I know, Eric told me that before. It is a little strange though… why is it that Eric didn't develop telepathy? He has more fairy blood than me."

I shrugged my shoulders and replied, "I'm not sure. I guess you could say that it skipped a generation."

Pam asked, "So, Eric's vampire gift, it's because of the fairy blood too, right?"

I nodded my head, replying, "I believe so. It makes sense that he's a daywalker since the sky fairies have an affinity for the sun. Being an old vampire like myself, Eric can rise during the day in case of emergency but his vampire gift also allows him to be awake or walk in daylight for a limited period of time. Eric is the only vampire who has that precious gift."

"Damn! Your blood must be pretty powerful, giving us these great abilities. If Eric can walk during daylight and I am telepathic, I cannot imagine what your vampire gift is?" Pam asked as she raised her eyebrow.

Teasingly, "Wouldn't you like to know?" I replied.

"Oh…so that's how it's going to be, huh? That's fine… I'll find out soon enough," she chuckled in response.

After giving her a quick smile, "But as you know, Pam, powerful gifts do not come without a price. I am sure you are aware that Eric barely uses his gift because it severely weakens him," I said in a serious manner while Pam nodded her head in agreement.

Pam and I continued chatting about more mundane things and got to know each other a little more. She told me about her hobbies and interests, including her obsession with Dear Abby. She confessed that she's never missed an article and reads it every night before resting. Pam even said there were a number of times that she followed Dear Abby's advice and it worked brilliantly.

We also exchanged stories of each other's adventures over the years. She told me about her trips with Eric, around Europe before coming to America. In return, I told her how Eric and I traveled around the world right after I turned him.

"It's really amazing that you and Eric have been walking this Earth for such a long time. I mean, I am already in awe knowing that Eric has been here for a thousand years, but you, you've been here for two millenia. It's hard to imagine what you've been through, seeing civilizations come and go," Pam said before continuing, "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course, Pam. What is it?"

Pam paused for a moment, hesitantly she asked, "Don't you ever get sad or mad that you're not a fairy anymore? I mean, I know you're still half-fairy but you don't live in the Fae realm and you exist more as a vampire. Don't you ever wish that you were never turned?"

I gave her a weak smile and replied, "That's a heavy question, Pam. I must admit that I was never given a choice to become vampire or not and I struggled being turned for quite some time. But, at the same time, if I didn't become vampire, I would have never met Eric and you would not be here right now… I guess, at first, I hated it but after a while, I learned to accept it. What matters is right now I feel true joy and contentment to have Eric with me and, of course, I am glad to have you as well, Pam."

Pam smiled and nodded her head at my response. We were quiet for a few moments before Pam asked the more significant question, "How did you become a vampire, Sookie?"

I stiffened at the question and Pam, noticing my reaction, immediately apologized, "I am sorry, Mistress. I didn't mean to pry. You do not have to tell me anything, I was just wondering… that's all," she explained quickly.

"It's okay, Pam. I was just thinking that your previous question was pretty heavy but this one is even heavier. As most vampires, I do not really talk about my turning, except the time when I told Eric… but I don't mind talking to you about it. I am curious, didn't Eric tell you how I was turned?"

"Actually, Eric told me many of things about you, but nothing of your turning. When I asked him about it, he told me that it was not his story to tell and if I was lucky enough, you would tell me your story personally."

"I appreciate him thinking about my privacy, even from his own child, but you are a part of me just like Eric, so I do not mind telling you about my past," I told her.

In response, she made herself comfortable on the couch, waiting eagerly for me to begin my tale. I stood and walked away to stand towards the sliding door that connected the living room to the backyard, where the swimming pool was located.

Standing by the glass door, my back turned to Pam, I gazed at the calm water. I was silent for a moment while Pam remained seated on the couch and patiently waited for me to speak.

Moments passed, I remained fixated on the water and sighed unnecessarily.

"I have a complicated story, so perhaps it would be best if I started from the very beginning. Though I must warn you, my turning is vastly different from yours and Eric's."

"I was the only child of King Niall and Queen Einin Brigant - the supreme rulers of all fairies. Sadly, I did not have the chance to know my mother because she passed on to the Summerlands right after I was born, leaving my father to raise me by himself. He loved my mother so much that he did not marry again and simply focused all his efforts and attention on taking care of me. My father always told me stories about my mother and made sure that I would not forget her. Of course, aside from raising me, he also had another responsibility; ruling his vast kingdom.

"Fairies are divided into four nations: Earth, Water, Air and Fire. Each nation is ruled by a prince - Prince Appa rules the Earth nation; Prince Sokka rules the Water nation; Prince Zuko rules the Fire nation; and, of course, my father - the supreme ruler, King Niall Brigant from the Air nation or most commonly known as the Sky nation. Another wonderful ability… full-blooded fairies are elemental benders."

"What is a bender?" Pam interrupted.

"Any fairy who reaches maturation can bend their respective element; they have the ability to control or manipulate them. Earth fairies are Earth benders, Water fairies are water benders, Air fairies are air benders and Fire fairies are fire benders. For example, Air or Sky fairies can create strong winds or maybe create an 'air ball', literally. They can use that as their weapon or command it to do whatever they want. They can also make the breeze hot or cold if they chose to. Of course, they can also control weather, but you'd have to be a Master Bender to be able do it. Only ancient Sky fairies, like my father, are considered Master Benders. It's the same as the others as well, Earth, Water and Fire nations have Master Benders too; but, like I said, they are all ancient fairies. I guess you could compare it to vampires' strength - the older the vampire, the stronger and more powerful they are," I explained.

Pam asked weakly, "So I guess this means that you are not an airbender then?"

"No, Pam. I cannot bend air or any element for that matter," I replied and resumed my tale.

Continuing, "Niall is the oldest and the most powerful fairy living; it is why he is the one ruling all Fae. One of my father's responsibilities is to keep the balance among the four nations. He is expected to protect our kind, even those living outside the Fae realm, against any threat.

"Before Niall, an Earth fairy named Queen Toph held the crown. When she died, it was passed on to the next oldest fairy, which was my father since Queen Toph did not have any children. The crown couldn't be passed to other blood relatives, only through an offspring. By Fae Law, if the high ruler's royal bloodline did not have any heir, the oldest fairy would acquire the throne, regardless of which nation they were from. My father has been ruling Fae for almost three thousand years. Naturally, I would inherit the crown if something happened to Niall since I am his only daughter. Unfortunately, the Brigant reign will end after me since I do not have any children to pass it to. Of course, after my reign, the oldest fairy will assume the throne." I explained.

Pam asked, "I know you're still a fairy princess, but are you still eligible to inherit the crown, even though you're a vampire?"

I turned around to look at Pam, "Of course, Pam. I am still Niall's daughter. My rights to the throne cannot be challenged. That being said, I don't really know how would I be able to rule in Faery without having bloodlust, but my father assured me that everything would work out if that time came. So, I'm not going to worry about that," I replied.

Pam simply nodded her head in reply. I turned back to look at the water and continued my story.

"Back then, I was completely a different person. I was immature, selfish and didn't have a care in the world. I guess you could call me a spoiled princess. My father always gave in to my every whim; not that you could really blame him, after all, I was his only child. Even though I was in line for the thrown, Niall managed to keep me away from fairy politics. Aside from spoiling me, he was also very protective of me.

"Being the High King, Niall obviously had a lot of tasks in the kingdom and had to travel. At the same time, he made sure to spend quality time with me. During some of his trips to other nations, he let me accompany him. It was only those times I was allowed to leave the Air nation since Niall didn't want me to travel around the Fae realm without him. I was always so excited every time my father and I would travel. During the meetings, I was not with him and, instead, spent my time with the other young royals like myself while I waited for Niall. I became friends with the others and they visited me in our castle often.

"As High Princess, I had a lot of friends and was used to being admired by everyone. I had countless suitors over the years but I've only been with one. He was a young fairy from the Fire nation, his name was Raphael. He was my first lover and I thought I was in love with him, it turned out…it was just an infatuation. We were together for a short time before we decided to stop seeing each other and separated on good terms. We both realized that we didn't really love each other and it was better to be apart. We remained friends and still saw each other occasionally.

"Unfortunately, he met an ill-fated accident and died from iron poisoning. After Raphael, I didn't really pursue any other romantic relationships. For some reason, I was not really interested in being with somebody. I was content with having friends and traveling around the kingdom with Niall.

"Even at a young age, my father had already received future marriage proposals for me from the other royal and prominent families but he always denied them. Niall's denial at the proposals didn't stop others to keep petitioning. One of the relentless contenders was Prince Breandan from the Water nation- he was Prince Sokka's nephew. He kept asking my father for my hand in marriage but Niall always refused since he knew I was not interested in Breandan.

"I continued living indulgently but was naïve when it came to politics and the outside world. During one of my friend's visits, they told me that they visited the human realm. I had heard about this place but my father never allowed me to go there, not even if he was with me. He was scared that something might happen and I wouldn't be able to protect myself since I hadn't fully developed my fairy abilities.

"I was barely beginning to practice them and could only use limited magic, like teleportation. But even that, it still took a lot of concentration and effort. It was one of the major reasons Niall didn't allow me to travel alone.

"I was extremely jealous to hear my friends talk about their visits to this world. They said that the human realm was similar to our realm. They talked about how interesting it was to interact with humans and how they looked nearly the same as fairies."

"I asked my father to let me visit the human realm, but, of course, he said no. He informed me that humans were not the only ones living there; other supernaturals as well, like vampires, weres, shifters and witches. I told him we could take additional guards. He explained that even with the guards, there was still a possibility that something bad might happen to me."

With a bitter laugh, "It turns out… my father was absolutely right," I said.

Two thousand years ago…..

"Please Father, I beg of you, take me with you. I promise, I will do whatever you want me to do. You could even take an army of fairies if you're so concerned about my safety. Please," I pleaded with my father.

Niall and I were standing outside the balcony of my private chamber. While we gazed at the beautiful scenery outside the castle, my father told me of his pending trip to visit the human realm. He needed to see a fairy family that supervised the fairies living in the human world to discuss a problem.

Sighing, he caressed my cheek, "My darling daughter, we have already talked about this. It is not safe for you to go there. The vampire population is rising and I don't want to take the chance on some vampire hurting you. Please understand, dear one," and replied, softly.

I narrowed my eyes at my father and started crying. He moved forward to give me a hug but I ran away from him, seeking the shelter of my room. I lied down on my bed with my face down and cried loudly. My father followed me and sat on the bed to try to console me.

Crying, "Leave me alone. I do not want to talk to you anymore!" I yelled.

"Oh Sookie, you know I am not doing this to hurt you. I am simply protecting you. Stop crying dear one, you know that I do not like to see you cry."

I covered my head with pillows and continued to weep. My father stayed a bit but when he realized that I wouldn't talk, he patted my back before leaving.

For the next few days, I locked myself in my chamber. I refused to go outside and did not want to see or talk to anyone. My father would come by but I never spoke to him. I stopped eating in rebellion of my father's refusal to take me with him to the human world.

Niall did everything he could to persuade me to stop my tantrums but I did not listen. When my father knew that the only way to alleviate the situation was for him to let me go with him, he reluctantly agreed.

Standing by the door of my chamber, "My little Sookie, you know that I do not like seeing you unhappy. As much as I am hesitant to let you come, I will permit you," my father announced.

Hearing what he said, I immediately leaped out of my bed ran and hugged him. I was jumping up and down with excitement.

"Yes! Thank you, Father!" I exclaimed.

"Wait a minute, Sookie. Before you get excited, you must promise me that you will do everything that I ask of you. You will not wander around and make sure to stay with the guards, alright?"

Enthusiastically, I answered, "Of course, Father. I promise," and smiled widely.

My father patted my head and chuckled in reply, "It's nice to see you back, my darling princess. I swear, you are the only one who could break me."

I continued smiling and kissed him on the cheek before replying, "You love me anyway," and winked at him.

He shook his head and continued chuckling.

"Now that you're happy again, we should go eat. You haven't consumed anything except water, so I am sure that you are famished," Niall suggested.

In response, I rubbed my stomach and nodded my head anxiously, grinning from ear to ear. I followed my father to the dining area to join him for dinner.

Soon enough, the time finally came.

I could not contain my excitement and couldn't wait to visit another realm.

My handmaidens helped me get dressed and prepared for my travel. Afterwards, I went to the library to join my father. Niall was standing in the middle of the room facing the royal guards; he was handing orders to them.

Before stepping inside the room, "Hello, Father. May I come in?" I asked, politely.

Niall stopped talking and looked in my direction.

Smiling, "Hello, my beautiful princess. Of course, you may come in," he replied and raised his arms openly so I could give him a hug.

Not one to disappoint, I walked gracefully towards him and stepped into his embrace. The guards kneeled and bowed their heads as I passed by them.

After giving me a quick hug, my father kissed the top of my head before moving back.

Looking at me with serious eyes, he asked me, "Remember what we talked about; you will listen and do what I tell you, alright?"

"Yes, Father," I chuckled in reply.

Niall nodded his head before returning his attention to the kneeling guards. Giving them a final briefing on what they needed to do, my father decided to have five royal guards go with us while the rest of them would stay to supervise and guard the castle.

My father told me that the fairy family we were visiting lived in a big house and had an invisible shield around their estate so it would be a waste to bring extra guards. It was protected and secure enough as long as we did not cross outside the barrier.

Niall dismissed the guards to carry out his commands, leaving only Niall, me and the five remaining royal guards in the room.

Niall put his arms around me and asked, "Are you ready to leave, Dearest?"

Enthusiastically, "Yes, I am," I replied.

With that, we teleported to another realm. It did not feel unusual compared to teleporting around the fairy realm. In the blink of an eye, we appeared in a different room while two of the guards stood beside Niall and me, the remaining three stationed behind us.

Looking around, I saw the fairy family kneeling down with their heads bowed.

"You may rise," Niall addressed them and they obeyed.

Niall continued, "May I present my lovely daughter and your high princess, Sookie of the Brigant bloodline."

I curtsied and bowed slightly to acknowledge them.

The older male fairy greeted me, "It is a great honor to finally meet you, Princess. We are privileged to have you in our humble abode. Please allow me to introduce ourselves, my name is Elvin."

He then turned to the side and introduced the rest of his family.

Continuing, "This is Ella, my wife and these are Eldan, Elden and Eldon, our three sons," he said.

His wife curtsied while the three little fairies bowed. I could not help but smile at their children; they were so adorable.

Smiling, "It is very nice to meet all of you. It is generous of your family to let me visit your home," I replied.

After the introductions, my father asked Elvin to begin their meeting. Elvin agreed and let Niall know that the room they would use for their talk was prepared. Elvin also informed my father that he had a private guest chamber for me to use for resting while I waited. I thanked Elvin for his consideration and told him that I did not need it at the moment but may use it later. I told my father that I wanted to stay on the veranda located at the front of the house to look around. Niall, of course, reminded me to stay inside the barrier. He instructed the three royal guards to stay with me while the other two went with him to the meeting area.

Afterwards, Elvin along with Niall and two royal guards left for their meeting. Ella and her three sons excused themselves and went about their business preparing meals to serve us. With all of them gone, I walked towards the veranda, the three guards trailed after me.

Niall mentioned earlier that this meeting was significant because they would discuss the few incidents regarding several fairies living in the human world who were drained by vampires.

Although, Elvin and his family did not come from royal family, they held a position among fairies since my father elected Elvin, on his behalf, to supervise fairies in the human world. Niall decided it was best to have someone be in charge during his absence since he did not visit this realm often.

Unfortunately, one of the disadvantages of fairies living in this word, was the higher risk of getting caught by the night creatures.

Niall had revealed to me, in confidence, that he planned to arrange a meeting with the vampire council. It was led by an elder, female vampire; she was in charge of vampire politics. He wanted to try to work out an agreement between the two races.

I realized that my father would probably be a while so I decided to wait in the terrace veranda. My three royal guards stayed behind me while I leaned on the railings and watched the beautiful scenery. Elvin's house rested at a high altitude so it provided an advantage over the scenery around the area.

Elvin's estate was secluded from others; far away from other settlements. The house had an open field in the front. It was surrounded by plants and flowers; a small fountain was placed strategically in the middle. Even though the barrier was invisible, I was able to sense it just like other supernatural creatures could.

Looking ahead passed the barrier, I could make out tall structural buildings even from a distance. It looked like a busy place with plenty of inhabitants.

Without removing my gaze from the wondrous sight, "What is that place?" I asked the guards.

"It is what they call Rome, your majesty. It is one of the major and highly-populated cities here," one of the guards replied.

"Hmm…it looks very interesting. I think I would like to have a look at it."

I heard the guards kneel as one of them replied, "Forgive us, Princess, but unfortunately, His majesty has commanded us not to let you leave the estate. It was his strict instructions that you were to wait for him inside the house, as you already know, your highness." His voice held uneasiness at challenging what I wanted to do.

I understood the predicament the guards were in; they were required to follow my orders but, at the same time, they could not disobey my father.

I was quiet for a moment before an idea popped in my head. The guards were still kneeling, awaiting my command.

"Well, I guess I could wait for my father to finish his meeting. Perhaps, he will take me there instead. For now, I would like to rest in the guest chambers," I announced.

With that, I turned around and began to walk inside. I called out to the guards to stand and they followed behind.

Upon reaching the chamber, one of the guards stepped inside to make sure that the room was secured. When he was done, I went inside.

I told the guards, "I would like to rest for a while. I do not want any disturbance, is that understood?"

"Yes, Princess," the guards replied, obediently.

I nodded my head at them, indicating to close the door. I sensed them standing outside the threshold, guarding it.

I looked around the room, it was similar to my private chamber, but this one was much smaller and had fewer furnishings.

I spotted a long black cloak and decided to wear it. It would help conceal myself and not draw attention to me.

I knew that I should not be sneaking out, especially when I told my father that I would stay put, but I did not want to wait. I realized that the guards would not hear me teleporting out of the house and would not know about it if I warded the room.

Before teleporting, I put a warding spell around the chamber. I learned about this spell from my fairy mentor and was able to complete it easily.

Afterwards, I closed my eyes and willed myself to teleport to the city I saw outside.

Unfortunately, nothing happened. I had only just begun developing teleportation so it took a great deal of my energy and concentration to be able to do it.

Relaxing myself, I tried again… and again…I tried several times before I was able to do it.

POP!

When I opened my eyes, I was standing in a narrow street. I could not help but smile that I was able to sneak out. I saw impressive structures surrounding the streets of Rome. Luckily, there were a lot of people wandering the city and I was able to blend in. I walked around and looked at the buildings up close.

I was impressed that the humans were able to create something so magnificent without using magic. I also had the chance to encounter humans; my friends were right, they did look quite similar to us.

So far, I had not sensed any other supernatural creatures within the city… but that was about to change. It was past sunset and steadily darkening. I decided to go back to Elvin's house. I walked towards a secluded street so no one would see me teleport.

Sadly, before I had the chance to disappear, I saw something flash right passed me and felt an unknown presence behind me. I knew instantly that it was supernatural and feared that it might be a vampire. I had never seen one before and didn't know much about them. All I knew was that they had fangs and drank blood, especially fairy blood, and only walked during night time.

I froze where I stood and began to tremble. With my back to him, I asked, "Who are you and What do you want?" My voice quivered but I tried to appear brave.

He did not reply but I could feel his penetrating stare burning into me.

"Look, you peasant! I do not know who you think you are but I can assure you, you would regret it terribly if you tried to harm me. My father is a very powerful man and if you know what's good for you, leave this instant!" I said, but this time, my voice had an edge to it.

He remained silent and before I could turn around to face him, he grabbed me from behind. I did not have the chance to scream because he covered my mouth with his hand while the other grabbed at my hips.

Everything happened so quickly; the next thing I knew, I was being whirled away. I couldn't see anything and everything we passed by was a blur.

Suddenly, we stopped in a dark, wooded area. I did not see anyone around, only the unknown creature gripping me. Scared and terrified, my heart was beating so fast.

Surprisingly, he let me go so I did not waste any time and ran away from him as fast as I could. A short distance away, I stopped to see if he was following me. He was nowhere in sight and I did not feel anyone around.

I continued running away and at the same time, trying to teleport. Unable to concentrate, I could not use my ability.

Scampering through the dark forest, I scurried away terrified, panting endlessly and felt as if my heart was going to burst from my chest.

I am not sure how far I had run but I was beginning to think that I managed to escape the horrible creature chasing me.

As it happened…I was completely wrong.

Suddenly, strong arms grabbed me and I screamed for help. I knew that it was the same creature but I still was not able to see his face because he was behind me once again.

Only a terrifying growl emanated from him and I started shaking in terror.

Then, without warning, he bit into my neck. Extremely sharp pain surged through my body as he started sucking my blood savagely. I tried to fight him off me but it was useless, he had a strong hold on me while I screamed loudly into the night.

I called out my father's name or anybody to rescue me but it was futile. All I could hear was my attacker's grunting while he continued drinking my blood mercilessly.
