Hello darlings! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Things have been quite hectic lately. I'll probably set a posting day that I can respect rather than throw in updates at random. I think I'm going to try that for at least a while and see how it goes. Starting next week though, cause I promise another chapter before Sunday. Anyway, to those who reviewed and got the teaser, I know I said I'd post this in about 12 hours, but it's midnight here, and I'm going to bed and I have a terrible day tomorrow so a few nice words will make my morning waaay more manageable.

Sooooo. Thanks everyone who reviewed, alerted and favorited my story. yes, I know that's not a word. I can't tell you all how much it means to me. Over 100 reviews. *happydance*

Also, thanks to me bestie, Keri, for being my beta and cheering on me. You're awesome!

First, I did a bit of recap to help me with time-keeping and I thought I'd share it with you. Maybe some of you want/need it. I sure did :)

I hope you enjoy the chapter. It's the longest so far!

I own nothing, CH does, I only play in her sandbox.

Day 1 – Sookie makes the decision to join Eric.

Day 2, 3 – Eric waits for Sookie to wake.

Day 4 – Sookie rises. They talk to Pam and Jason and "order in".

Day 5 – Eric proposes and Cataliades arrives.

Day 6 – They meet the daemon, they read the letter, they talk about her powers and Eric calls Pam to join them in Sweden.

Day 7 – they go to the island house where Pam meets them, interrupting their fun time.

Day 8 – Sookie's training begins...

Ch.9:
"Oh fuck. Sookie, I'm glowing pink!" they heard Pam scream from another room, making them burst into a fit of laughter.

Sookie was hovering over Eric's form the next night. She wasn't touching him, but he could feel her with his every pore. Her body was naked, her hair a curtain around her face.

Her smile touched her eyes and her happiness was touchable. The few centimeters that separated their bodies were quickly turned to nothing as Eric's desire rose to greet his lover. His hands went to her sides and he pulled her flush against him, their bodies on fire for one another. Eric's body rose to a standing position as Sookie straddled his hips, rubbing her pussy against his manhood.

Kissing her pouty lips he slowly lowered her body over his erection and they both let out a satisfied sigh. She started moving slowly over him, her hips going in circular motions, her body dancing to a song playing in her mind, driving him crazy with want. She brought him on the verge of orgasm only to change the speed and direction, throwing him back into panting. Almost there, but not quite.

With a growl he had her in his arms and on the move across the room. He reached the sofa, put her ass on the back of it and lowered her body backwards, until she was upside down. Sookie's legs were still wrapped around his hips as he started fucking her in that position, reaching spots inside her she didn't know existed. The pressure was amazing. And then he started pinching her clit. She screamed like bloody murder as she came around his cock.

He grabbed her arms to bring her up and hug her sides as he continued fucking her. Her boobs pressed tight against his chest, her hands held onto his ass, her legs wrapped around his legs, her pouty mouth breathing on his neck as her fangs dragged across his skin. Her lips kissed what would have been his pulse point before she plunged her fangs in his skin, sucking greedily and making him cum with a roar as her muscles clenched around his member again. He didn't even know when he punched his fangs in her shoulder, the taste of her blood intensifying the sensations running through him.

They stood there panting.

"Well, good evening, my lover. I hope I always wake to that."

"Hmm, I know exactly what you're saying," she purred against his neck.

"It's still early, isn't it?"

"Yep. Let's take a shower before we go do something productive."

"I like the way you think, lover," he said as he scooped her up and moved her to the huge bathroom.

It seemed that Sookie was indeed right, the bathroom was huge and so was the shower, leaving them plenty of playroom, as not long after the water hit their bodies their minds set on other things entirely.

An hour after they entered the bathroom, just as they were drying themselves up, laughing at one another and their respective fuck-me hair-dos.

"Oh come on you two! What the fuck have you been doing? Fucking the entire time I was asleep? I'm still pink!" Pam whined from her bedroom.

That only made Sookie and Eric laugh more. He couldn't be happier to see Sookie so free about her sexuality. She didn't even flinch at Pam's remarks.

Suddenly Sookie went silent and closed her eyes as she tensed.

"What is it? Are you ok?" Eric asked as he went into combat mode with Pam joining them only a few seconds later, just as worried, all three of them naked as jaybirds.

"Yes. I sensed someone. Apparently Claude has come to help," she said as her eyes opened and a smile spread on her lips, making her maker and sister relax in an instant.

"Well, his timing is perfect then. I will go with you. We should first make sure that you won't kill him," Eric said, resuming his boss-stance.

"You're right. Let's go downstairs. Shit, let's get dressed first. Pam, what the fuck! Get out of here," she said with a smile.

Nice ass, sister, Sookie thought to Pam as she was retreating to her own room. The sentiments she got from her made Sookie wish that Pam could blush so she'd have proof she could get embarrassed too.

Sookie stepped into her closet to pick some clothes to wear and realized that she'd have to ask Pam to go shopping if they were going to be staying here long. She'd never hear the end of it. Both she and Eric were silent as they dressed quickly.

Sookie was wearing a white t-shirt hoodie and a pair of black capris along with a pair of chucks as Eric was wearing a pair of grey sports slacks and a white wife-beater. They were on their own island and there was no-one to see them. They could afford to go outside in comfortable clothes as the cold outside didn't affect them whatsoever.

Eric opened the door after punching in the security code and as Sookie said, Claude's frame darkened their doorstep.

"Viking," he said with a nod.

"Fairy," Eric said with a smirk on his face.

"Good evening, cousin. It's good to see you again," he addressed Sookie, smiling at her. He really did seem pleased to see her and as she dipped into his mind she realized that he was truthful.

She stepped forward and hugged him, surprising them both. She felt no blood-lust over him, no hunger, she just wanted to hug her cousin.

"Thanks for coming, Claude. It means a lot to me."

"You're welcome, my dear. Jason actually told me about your change. Don't worry, he thought I should know, that's all, since he found me on your doorstep a few days ago. I don't think he told anyone else."

"It's ok," Sookie said as she nodded. "It's a good thing he told you, since I kind of need your help with a few things. You know, fairy guidance," she snickered.

"I know. Grandfather told me before he left that if you ever chose to become a vampire, I should help you with your magic, since you're probably going to need it. When I told him I decided to not join him in fairy, he seemed somewhat pleased with my decision and asked me to be your tutor."

"Well, thank you, nonetheless. We were actually ready to head out and start my training, if you'd join us. Leave your baggage here."

"Of course. Now, why don't you start telling me what you've experienced so far?" he addressed Eric, who nodded his consent. He had no idea how to help his wife with teleporting and the sun-power or whatever it was going to be and he'd agree with pretty much anything that would.

How much do you want me to tell him, Eric? Sookie asked him mentally.

However much you feel comfortable with. I'd ask you not to tell him about flying yet, though. Eric answered her question.

"Well, there's this kind of shield. Niall said it's connected to the blood-bond Eric and I have, but that it extends to everyone to anyone blood-connected to one of us. I guess you're included as well. We can see it, when we're together. It's pink-ish."

Claude nodded. "Yes, that sounds right. No one else, outside the family, will be able to see the pink though. Only those protected by it. It's something fairies have to some extent. If you can see it then yours is probably very strong. I can barely see mine... If I had to make a wild guess I'd say your magic is really strong."

"Wow. I never thought of that. It's probably something else though, not the magic. It can't be that strong."

"Sookie, stop belittling yourself. You have no idea how unique you are. You're a telepathic fairy princess who's bonded to a thousand year old vampire AND now you're his childe as well. There have been few fairies throughout history to get changed and you've already outlived them all. "

"Ow, I didn't know. Why didn't they live longer?" Sookie asked, somehow afraid of the answer she was going to receive.

"Because their masters were too scared to let a hybrid like you out. You have to understand that those fairies were turned by mistake by the vampires, but it had been their choice still, even though their masters didn't know it. They were seeking to increase their powers by coupling their fairy core to the vampire magic. They would have ended their makers soon afterwards. With you, this does not apply because you accepted to let Eric turn you because of your love for one another. You were bonded out of love even though he didn't remember it back then and you denied your feelings for him. You were fated for one another," Claude said.

Sookie's eyes filled with tears as Eric's arm came around her. Reading Niall's letter had been one thing, Pam telling them of the prophecy was another, but having Claude explain the uniqueness of the situation had her in tears. She felt like everything she'd been through all these years was worth it. Every little pain she felt was nothing compared to knowing she and Eric were meant to be. Nothing mattered anymore because she knew that in Eric's arms was where she belonged.

"I'm sorry Claude, it's all so overwhelming and I still feel like I'm constantly PMS-ing since the turn. I feel so flooded with everything," Sookie apologized.

"It's understandable, cousin. Spare no more thought to it. Now. What else did Niall tell you?"

"Well, he said as a sky fairy, I should be able to control a sky element, mentioning that my love for the sun could hint to the fact that I'll be able to control sunlight. He wasn't sure though."

"Well, ok, then. We need to work on that and teleporting," Claude summed up.

"Yes, I guess you're right."

"Well, good evening Claude," Pam purred as she approached the tall, dark and handsome fae, interrupting the conversation.

"Good evening, Pamela. It's nice to see you tonight," Claude added, keeping her eyes a bit longer than needed.

"Ew, Pam! Stop thinking at what you did with him! I can fucking read you now! He's my cousin, for fuck's sake!"

Eric froze. Pamela and Crane had been together. That was news to him. He had no problem with whomever Pam chose to bed, but he was amazed by her self-control.

"I'm sorry to have never mentioned it before, but it just didn't come up. Claude and I spent some time together a few months ago."

"I'm surprised by your choice, Pam," Eric said making his oldest childe smirk at his compliment. He may not have said much, but she knew what he meant.

"Now that you two know, let's get over it and get you trained, my little fairy sister. I want some alone time with your cousin before he leaves."

"Arrrrgh! Blablablabla. Yes. Let's do stuff. Just stop thinking about fucking him, please," Sookie said, putting her hands to her ears as if that could help. She had no particular feelings about them together. She loved Pam dearly and she liked Claude, she was surprised about the pairing since lately Pam had only dated girls, while her cousin was gay.

"What do you want to start with?" Claude asked, amused by Sookie's antics.

"Let's try popping first," Sookie said with determination. If there was something she really, really wanted to learn, it was popping. She had tried flying and levitating a bit before Eric woke and she was pleased to find out that she had quite good control over it. That's how she managed to surprise Eric by waking him up while she hovered over his naked body.

They were near a small forest a few hundred meters away from the house. Claude took her hand and took her away from Eric and Pam, Sookie smiling apologetically at both of them. She knew they hated her being away from them, but she felt like she needed to do this on her own. Or with Claude. Also some distance would keep them safe if something went wrong.

It's ok, Sookie. Eric thought at her. I completely understand, although I'm sorry I can't be of more help in this regard.

Don't even say that, Eric, you help me plenty as it is. I'll show you what I practiced earlier when I'm done here, she thought as she winked at him earning a smirk from him.

"Ok, Sookie. Close your eyes," Claude said as his cousin obeyed as she took a deep breath.

"Good. Now empty your mind. Keep your shields up so you don't hear us. Take a calming breath and look deep inside you. Let me know when you find the energy within you," Claude continued.

Sookie did as she was told. Her shields were in place. It was so easy now, like flipping the light on and off. She emptied her mind of thoughts and worries, took a deep breath to calm her nerves as she relaxed. She realized that both Pam and Eric were sending her calm, peace and trust. She relaxed further and seemed within her trying to find the place where her energy was coming from. When she found the place, she felt like her heart was beating once more. The core was pulsing and it she imagined it flashing with light, like one of those pulsars she found out about from Discovery Channel.

She nodded to Claude.

"Ok, now open your eyes. See this tree stump near me? Good. Now close your eyes again. Find the core again. You'll be able to find it more quickly now that you know where and what to look for."

Sookie gave him another nod when she found the pulsing light again.

"Pull one of the rays from it, Sookie and imagine being on the stump."

She picked out a random ray emanating from the core, pictured the stump in her mind and herself standing on it. There was a loud crack and when she opened her eyes she was on top of the stump. She looked around her and three pairs of eyes were watching her in awe.

Eric zipped to her and took her in his arms.

"That was amazing, my love," he said as he stole a kiss from her lips.

"Wow. That was great. Do I still have all body parts?" Sookie asked with a laugh.

"Of course you do, silly woman," Eric said with a laugh, trying to hide his actual relief that she was, indeed, in one piece.

"I've never seen anyone learn to teleport that easily, Sookie," Claude said in amazement.

"Seriously? You mean not everyone can do this so fast?" she asked, her eyes wide.

"No. It took me a few months to manage what you did. I used to stumble forth and sort of fall on my face. Claudine did it after a week or so, though. Niall was proud of her. I've never heard of anyone doing it from the first try, though," Claude said, not even trying to hide his wonder.

Sookie didn't find anything else to say to that as her cousin kept staring at her, trying to figure out how an eighth fairy had managed to do what none of his full-blooded kind had. He shook his head as to clear it and told her to try again. Eric went and took his spectator place near an open-mouthed Pam.

"This time, I want you to try a bit more distance," Claude said as he put another 15 yards between them.

"Do the same thing, but picture yourself standing next to me."

Sookie closed her eyes, searched her center and imagined she was in front of Claude. A loud crack later and she was standing in front of her cousin's amazed face.

"Wow. I did it again. Oh my god! It's real," Sookie said as she started jumping up and down with happiness the truth only now kicking in through her shocked state of mind.

"Yes you did. I'm so proud of you," Claude said with a real smile on her face, putting his arms around her and hugging her. She was a vampire now, he knew that, but the magic core still made it confortable for him to be around her. Fairies were really touchy-feely.

"How about now you teleport to the house? Do you want to try that?" he asked as she stepped out of his embrace.

"Sure. Where should I go?"

"How about the balcony to your bedroom?"

"Of course. Eric honey, do you mind going there and waiting for me?"

The Viking didn't need telling twice as he zipped inside the house and to the balcony. He could have easily flown but he didn't want Crane to know about his gift.

"Ok. This is the last try for the night, Sookie. I need a drink," he said with a slight laugh.

Sookie giggled, knowing that he actually wanted to spend some time with Pam. It was alright with her since she had some special time with Eric in mind.

She once again closed her eyes and pictured herself in her Viking's arms. With a loud "pop" she was right where she wanted to be, a big smile on her face. Eric hugged her body to his and started kissing her. He was so proud of her and turned on at the same time.

"Hon, do you mind if we leave the house for a while? I want to give them some privacy and I think we could use some as well," Sookie asked.

"Sure, step right in," Eric said as he extended his arms for her to step into only to get confused as she shook her head.

Sookie took his hand and started levitating.

"I thought we'd try this as equals this time," she said with a smirk.

The smile on the Viking's face was as broad as it could be as he took her invitation. As he grabbed her arm they both started flying slowly towards the forest.

"My love, I have to say that you amaze me to no end. This is what you have been practicing, isn't it?" he asked.

"Yep. I wanted to surprise you, so I used the time before you rose for the night to try this around the room. I'm glad I could surprise you."

"That's not the only surprise you had for me this evening, my love. Seeing you control your abilities with such ease is as much as a shock as it's a relief. I can't tell you how helpless I've felt about this issue," Eric said as they glided their way deeper into the forest.

"Oh, I know. I've read it from you. I didn't mean it, but I'm so used to not having my shields up when I'm around you that sometimes I forget. But it's ok, you know. I appreciate that you worry about me and love me enough to care," Sookie said with a smile on her face.

"Of course I worry because I love you. What is this about, Sookie? "Love you enough to care"? I thought you knew what my feelings about you were," Eric said as he stopped mid-flight, suddenly a bit pissed off.

"I'm sorry, Eric. I do know how you feel about me, I just worry that in time those feelings will change," she said as she averted her eyes from his.

"Lover, what is this about?" he pressed, repeating his question from earlier.

"It's something someone told me once. That the relationship between maker and childe changes over time and there was a chance you would not want me over the years. More specifically that maker and childe relationships never last."

"And who would that someone be, Sookie?" Eric asked although he had an idea.

"Bill," was her only response.

Eric took her face in his palms and looked deep into her eyes.

"Listen to me, lover, as I will only say it once. Bill Compton is an imbecile that does not deserve to even walk the same ground as you do. He has no idea about what a maker-childe relationship is because he has never sired anyone and his own maker was a lunatic. He can't know what a sincere relationship is. Look at Pam and I. She's over 300 and she chose to stay with me. Sure, she had a rebellious period, but she came back to me even though she is free to leave if she chooses so. But the relationship between Pam and I has never been romantic. We fucked for a few decades after her turn, but it was never exclusive or anywhere close to what we share. Not to mention that we were bonded before I changed you, Sookie. Nothing can take me away from you except your words, you understand?" Eric finished.

Sookie was crying softly, red tears streaming slowly down her cheeks.

"I'd never tell you to leave me and I'd never leave you. You're the reason why I chose this eternal night. That night, when I made the decision I knew it was the best decision I could make. It was like all the shutters were up, the veil from my eyes was lifted and I could see exactly what you mean to me, what we have and where my path had to take me. It all happened when I accepted my nature and our relationship fully. I love you, honey," Sookie said as she leaned in to kiss his lips.

He couldn't get close enough to her and he squeezed her body, pushing his hands under her t-shirt, spreading them on her lower back.

A naughty sparkle lit in his eyes as he pulled back and started taking off her clothes.

"Eric…" Sookie said, trying to make it obvious that they were still flying, hovering over the tree line.

He didn't bother to reply. He knew where they were and it was specifically, exactly, certainly what he wanted to do. Her t-shirt came off and his lips found her hard nipples, making her moan. He could tell she wasn't letting her feelings go so he told her to trust him.

"I have you, Sookie. Even if you can't control it, I will."

Her hands started clutching to his shoulders, pulling his body closer to hers. Their lips met and her hands were trying to get his wife-beater off of him. She wanted to feel his chest flush with hers. The top turned into shreds as soon as she lost her patience. God, she loved to feel his skin to hers. Rock hard but velvet. Exactly like another part of his body that was pressing between them.

"Oh, Eric," she sighed as his hand unzipped her pants and found her mound. She was already so wet for him.

His other hand went to her ass and he pushed the pants down her legs, landing on top of a tree. Christmas decorating started early this year.

As soon as the cold air hit her legs she wrapped them around Eric's waist, pushing his own pants down.

"Sookie, now," he ordered, finding the thought of not being inside her for another moment unbearable.

Obediently she pushed herself down on his hard length in one stroke, making them both moan. She still felt like she'd one day be split up by him. It was either he was too big, or she was too tight. Eric's hands went to her ass and he started pumping inside her, her pleasure moans scaring away all the birds that took resident in the trees near them, plus a squirrel or two.

Her hard nipples dragged up and down his torso as she rose and lowered on his dick. Her mouth went to his neck, trying to drown out her screams in his flesh. Her fangs scraped his skin involuntary making him roar. The safe pace made him crazy with want. He landed quickly and pushed her back against a fir tree. Her hands went to the bark behind her, trying to brace for what her Viking had in store. One hand under her ass to keep her up as his other went to her mouth as he pounded in her, not missing a single beat. Her fangs crunched into his wrist just when his own were biting her right breast. The euphoria of the moment had them yelling through their mutual release. His body slumped over hers as she started giggling through panting.

He gathered her body, turned around and sat down with his back to the tree. There was barely any bark left on that side of it.

"What has you laughing, lover?"

"Oh, you know. You just fly-fucked me, scared all living creatures on this island, this poor tree is completely damaged and I'd be surprised if people on the mainland didn't hear me cumming just now."

"Yes, so?" he really couldn't see her reasoning.

"Honey. You just fucked me outside the confines of our bedroom," she said and let the information sink.

"Hey, you're right. I win!" he said simply, a broad smile spread on his face.

"Was it a bet you had with yourself or something?" she asked, pretending to be upset when she was actually amused.

"Something like that. Tell me you didn't enjoy it and we'll never do it again."

"Pff. I can't lie to you even if I tried. It was… God, I can't even find words to describe it. It felt like when we made love swimming, but a million times better. And the frosty wind touching my skin while you were caressing me… all my nerves were in overdrive. Thank you."

His eyes went wide.

"You're thanking me for fucking you out in the open? Where has my little southern belle gone and who are you?" Eric mocked.

"Oh shush," she said as she swatted playfully at him. "I'm vampire now, hear me roar!" she joked.

"You most certainly are, my love. I'm so lucky to have you."

"And I'm lucky to have you," she said as she leaned in to kiss him, acting like a completely mushy, sweet-enough-to-make-you-sick couple.

"Honey?" she asked as she pulled away from his kiss.

"Yes?"

"Will you go get my clothes from those branches over there? I still don't have my legs," she smiled sweetly at him.

He started to get up, putting her down as he started to snicker.

"As you wish, my lady. Your wish is my command."

He was up and back before she could blink. Damn. She could fly, but she wasn't THAT fast.

"Ouch! Why didn't you tell me your ass was on bits of bark? I'd have told you to put me on my feet," she complained.

"Ah, yes. Well, you said you didn't have your legs. I merely did as you asked."

"Yes, I'm sure you did," she said, sarcasm oozing from her tone right before she accepted his extended arm and got on her own two feet.

Soon Eric was in fits of laughter over the way Sookie was pulling bark pieces from her ass cheeks.

"Oh, you think you're funny, eh?"

"As a matter of fact, no. But you sure are," he said playfully. "I'm sorry for that. I didn't mean it. Please, forgive me," Eric said as he pulled Sookie in his arms. "I love you, my lover!"

"And I love you, my husband!" Sookie said as she leaned in and pressed her lips to his.

"So, do you think it's safe to get back to the house?" she asked.

"I think so. Although there's little we could do to not hear them."

"Yeah, you're probably right. Are you mad about it?" she asked.

"No. She can date whoever she wants. If there's anything serious she'd have told me. I'm actually very proud of her and amazed at her self-control. I don't think I could have done what she's doing at her age. My control comes from years and years of practice. I was about 500 years when I first met Niall and I wanted to drain him still."

"Wow, I didn't know. Well, at least now you're immune to fairy smell. I bet it has something to do with this "Chosen Couple" thing. If you'd still want to kill fairies, then you couldn't have been around me," Sookie said.

"Yes, I guess you're right. I never thought about it that way."

"How about you? Is it ok with you? Whatever is happening between Pam and Claude?" Eric asked.

"Yes, I'm just surprised, that's all. I thought they were both interested in the same sex. I guess it makes sense though. Pam certainly has big enough balls to attract Claude," she said with a laugh.

"Yes, I guess you're right," Eric agreed as he let out a laugh himself.

"Are you ready to head back?" Sookie asked with a sparkle in her eyes.

"What did you have in mind, lover?"

"Ow, you know. Trying to teleport us both back to our bedroom."

"Are you sure that's a good idea? We could just fly," Eric asked reluctantly.

"We could, but I'd never get any practice. Niall said that it would be easier to teleport you and others I share blood with. I want to try it," she said with determination.

"Ok, lover. If you think you can do this, then by all means. What do you need me to do?" he asked as he finished putting on his pants.

"Well, grab my hand and I don't think that it would do any harm if you concentrated on our bed."

"Ok," he said as he took her in his arms. "I'm holding on to you."

Sookie straightened herself, put her arms around him as well and closed her eyes. She searched for her energy core and pulled on a ray, thinking of their bed.

With a loud pop they were standing in the middle of their bed.

Eric's eyes were wide with what had just happened to him. He was pretty sure he was the first ever vampire to travel the "fairy-express".

"Well, we know it works," Sookie said with a smile.

"It most certainly does, lover," Eric said as he bent to kiss her.

Thanks so much for reading! Let me know what you think! Reviews get you teasers and a lot of love from me. :D
