Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters.
A peaceful feeling surrounded my body until it was quickly replaced with soreness. My muscles ached and my head pounded. What happened?
A strange feeling came over me as I slowly opened my eyes and was met with a pair of crystal clear blue ones.
"Sookie can you hear me?" The man looked at me with a look of pure fear and worry.
"Who are you?" His eyes widened and he looked over to another man that was standing next to him.
The man whom held so much worry towards me was extremely handsome and I felt like I held a bond towards him. His blonde hair fell loosely in his face and his blue eyes quickly found mine again. He was shirtless and I couldn't help but stare.
Everyone gathered around me and I started to slowly freak out when I realized I didn't even know who I was.
"Temporary memory loss," the man standing next to Eric explained, "a side effect of the magic I had to use to save her."
"When will she remember," a man with dark brown hair and blue eyes asked; his thick southern accent strong with concern.
"A couple minutes at the very least."
The man had even brighter blue eyes then both of the other men combined and had short black hair that complemented his facial features. He smiled at me and gave me a small wink.
"What's going on," I asked as I tried to get up.
The blonde haired man helped me up and I couldn't help but feel the sparks when he touched me. He caught me gaze and I couldn't look away. I wanted to remember this man but at the moment I was just drawing up a blank.
He placed his hand gently on my cheek and ran his thumb up and down the curve of it. I leaned into his hand and the black haired man coughed.
"Well I am Claude and that one there is your mate Eric." He pointed to the man that I felt the connection to and he dropped his hand from my face.
I felt myself start to miss the body contact between us as I averted my gaze somewhere else.
"Could someone please untie us now, the little fae bitch is dead and this burns like hell!" I looked across the room and saw a blonde haired women and a red haired one tied to a chair in silver.
Their skin burn under the chains and smoke started to rise from the wounds.
"I've got it." The brown haired man walked over to them and grabbed a pair of gloves and slowly started to remove the sliver from them.
My head started to pound again and I fell to the floor as the pain became overwhelming.
"What's happening to her?" Eric yelled over to Claude.
"Her memories are coming back." He shrugged and as he said the words I started to remember everything.
As the pain began to dwindle I slowly opened my eyes and looked over to Eric.
"Eric." I said softly and he pulled me into a hug.
He kissed both sides of my cheek and gave me a long passionate kiss before releasing me.
"I thought I lost you," his voice was soft as the intensity of his stare grew.
"You won't ever lose me." He kissed me again and I felt myself start to get turned on very quickly.
"I really don't feel like putting on a fake cough every time you two feel like getting a little to handsy with each other." I quickly backed away from Eric and glared at Claude.
It hit me that he was the same fairy that helped me in the fae world.
"You've helped me before," I paused, "why do you keep helping me?"
"It's what family does for each other."
"We're family?"
"Cousins, well second cousins, but cousins none the less." He smirked and got closer to me.
Eric growled and moved in front of me.
"I just saved her life and we are family you really think I am going to hurt her now?" Claude asked as he raised an eyebrow up at Eric.
"Can never be too careful." Eric popped out his fangs and I slapped his arm.
"We can trust him."
"How do you know that?"
"I can feel it."
Eric scoffed, "I hate to break it to you lover, but your feelings haven't always gotten you into the best of situations."
"They got me into falling in love with you." Eric glared at me and put his fangs away as he backed up.
"Fine."
I got closer to Claude, "How come you never made yourself known before?"
"Too dangerous, the queen was after you and we had to make sure you stayed safe. It was my sister's job to be a bit of a spy and look after you but she died in duty I suppose you can say." I gasped I realized that Claudine was his sister.
"I'm so sorry I didn't know, I thought she was evil."
He shook his head, "She was a good actress I guess, a little too good." He sighed and gave me a hug.
He released me as Eric gave a warning growl, "Well I suppose I should take my leave. Word of advice dear cousin involving that pesky witch, fairies are stronger. Just tap into your power and have a little help from your witch friends and finish the bitch. I know you do not like the idea of killing another but the human's soul that lies beneath the possession is dark as well. She likes the thrill of hurting others, killing her would be a service of good for mankind. Be strong cousin." With that he vanished.
"Are you sure we can trust him," Eric muttered as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Yes, I just know we can." He nodded.
Bill entered the room with a very pissed off Pam and a slightly saddened Jessica.
"I hate it that I lost control like that." Jessica said as she made her way over to the couch.
"Ditto, I'm just happy that our little fairy princess here killed the cunt before I could get to her."
"Sookie are you okay?" Bill asked as he made his way over to me, scanning my body for any visible injury.
"Yeah I'm feeling a lot better now." He looked tensed as he gave me a slight nod and walked over to Jessica.
"How are you guys doing?" I called over to Pam and Jessica.
"I feel a little buzzed but I didn't have enough of the blood to be out of control." Jessica said as she looked up at me.
"Same." Pam looked like a grouch as she sat in a chair in the corner of the room.
"Lightened up Pam, this could have been much worse." Eric stated.
"Yeah well you didn't lose control and ruin a perfectly fine outfit."
"You would have only worn it once anyway."
Pam glared at Eric, "Well I am going to leave and get cleaned up, oh and it would be really helpful if things didn't get fucked up while I'm gone." She ran away and Eric sighed.
"What a spoiled brat." Eric muttered.
"You made her that way." I smiled at him and he rolled his eyes.
"Well now that the fae are out of the picture for a while how are we going to deal with Hallow?" I asked curious to hear some plans.
"Lead her into a trap, have Lafayette and his lover help us, and hopefully kill her." Eric said quickly.
Well so much for being climatic.
"It won't work, she is too powerful." Bill stood up.
"We need a real plan." Jessica said quietly from her spot on the couch.
"Eric I need to do this, I can take her I know I can." He shook his head.
"Just because a fairy you just met tells you that you can take her does not mean that I am going to let you go in there alone with your only source of safety being two witches who don't know how to control their power very well."
"You have to trust me."
His eyes were full of determination and if I wanted to fight at all I needed to present feasible evidence for him to see that I could take her on.
"Watch."
I backed away from him and searched deep inside me for my power. I imagined a bright light shining from me.
As I got deeper the light began to grow and when I opened my eyes my hand began to glow.
"Look." I held my hand up to him and he slowly placed his hand on top of mine.
The glow radiated from him and the light spread all over his body. It was beautiful and he released a small breath of air as a small smile made its way on to his face.
He leaned down and kissed me slowly and I saw the light shine between the two of us. I felt power connect between us as my body pressed against his. He moaned in pleasure as I gently nipped at his lip.
I felt the passion and pleasure build up between the two of us and I knew that I needed to stop before Eric and I had sex in front of Jessica and Bill.
I pulled back and the glow stopped as Eric released me.
"What the hell was that?" Jessica was mesmerized while Bill just looked disgusted.
"I have no idea." Eric whispered.
"I'll call Lafayette and Jesus and tell them to come here now so we can set up a plan. The witch will be dead by tomorrow night." Bill stated as he left the room.
"Do you believe me now?" I asked as I turned to Eric.
"I do but I won't be far. I refuse to send you anywhere near that witch without a little reassurance. If I sense anything that could go wrong I am going to get you out of there." I nodded.
"Fine." I kissed him and Jessica stood up.
"Well this was a long night and it's not even close to being done." She said as she looked at the clock.
Bill walked back into the room, "Lafayette and Jesus are on their way." I nodded.
"Thank you Bill." I smiled at him and he smiled a little.
I didn't want things between Bill and me to be so weird I wanted it to be normal again.
"Don't mention it."
A loud crash erupted from the front yard and Bill's fangs popped out. Eric growled and his fangs shortly followed.
"What happened?" Jessica asked as she ran over to Bill.
"It's Hallow and she has backup."
Well so much for Pam coming back to a trouble free place.
"Whose with her?" I asked.
"Some other witches and wolves." Bill stated.
Looks like I was going to have to do this without Lafayette and Jesus.
I felt my hands begin to glow and I looked over to Eric.
"Let's do this."
