I know not much happens in this chapter, but I needed it to focus on Eric and Sigrid's relashionship. Now don't worry, Eric's not out of character, I just haven't explained things yet. Hope you still like it ! Let me know if you have any suggestions, everything's welcome !
He was standing there, smirking, waiting for me to do something. So I thought to myself, what would really piss him off ? I grabbed a book I noticed on one of the shelves next to his bed, and sat down, started reading. Eric's jaw dropped, and his eyes widened as he watched me sit there happily. I only pretended to read, I was far to proud of myself to actually focus. I guess I won that one !
' If you change your mind, I'll be in the shower. ' He said, taking his shirt off.
Shit, I was at it again. I was staring at his naked chest, wishing I had my hands on him. No no no no NO ! Book... Must... READ ! He laughed, and shut the door to the bathroom. Now was my time to act. I tried opening the door, pulling it up off the ground, moving it around trying to find a position it would still open in, but no use. I knew how to open doors without the key, but I needed a pick... Something long and thin. I looked around the room, trying to find something. Then it hit me, my bra ! If I could get the bone out, that should work perfectly !
I took my shirt off, then my bra, and started fiddling with it. Shit, this was NOT the time for Eric to come out. I hurried, and got it out. I put it in the key hole, fiddled and... VOILA ! Open. I grabbed my clothes and got out, silently closing the door behind me. I got dressed again, sat on the couch, and sighed.
I was worried about Godric... Maybe Eric was right, it was my fault. I had to do something to get him back, I mean I couldn't let poor Sookie do it, she barely even knew him ! Maybe I could take her place. Maybe I could go with her and Hugo. Or... Oh who was I kidding, I couldn't help. I never could. I was just a useless fairy, not capable of anything, not even able to make her parents proud. I hadn't seen them since I was banished, but I still missed them. They were probably dead though, fairies had been whipped out by vampires.
As I was sitting there, wallowing in self pity, the door suddenly opened and Eric came out.
' You're good. ' he said. ' I'm lucky to have Pam, if it weren't for her, I'd have never had the pleasure of toying with you. ' He sat down next to me. ' I will have you, all of you. I already have your blood, and I already feel your emotions. ' he whispered, trying to sound sexy.
But it just scared me. ' How can you feel my emotions ? ' I asked, backing away from him.
He looked at me as though I was stupid. ' I've had your blood, remember ? '
Yeah, how could I forget... My neck still hurt, though the wounds had healed completely. We sat there in silence for a while, until Eric spoke again.
' Why are you feeling so sad and lonely ? ' he asked, intrigued.
' I'm not ' I lied, suddenly very interested in playing with my hands. He gave me one of his looks, letting me know he knew I has lying. ' Fine ' I said, ' Godric's all I've got and I can't look after him. '
Eric was watching me intently. I felt a wave of guilt overwhelm me, but I didn't know why. Was that me feeling Eric's emotions ?
' Are you feeling... Guilty ? ' I asked him, carefully. The guilt was then replaced with embarrassment, and though he didn't answer, it confirmed my theory. ' But why ? ' I asked him.
' That is none of your concern, fairy. ' He got up, and walked to his bedroom.
' I have a name ! ' I shouted after him, but he just shut the door, ignoring me. The silence was deafening, and I felt lonelier than ever. I decided to look for Sookie, I could ask her if I could help her finding Godric. I went down to the main room, but she wasn't there. She wasn't outside or in the restaurant either, so I gathered she was in her room with Bill. Lucky thing... I wished I had someone that loved me like that.
I decided to take a walk outside, looking at the stars in the night sky. I missed all the camp fires we used to have, I missed the long talks Godric and I had after battle. I missed the way he brushed my hair as I spoke with my generals. And when that era of my life ended, we travelled for years, going through France, Spain and Greece, then going as far as India and China.
Suddenly I was overcome with so much anger I could barely see. But it wasn't coming from me... So why - Eric ! I ran back to our suite, and found him destroying everything. The TV was shattered on the floor, the paintings had been torn and thrown into the fire, the couch had been knocked over, and Eric was about the throw the huge mirror onto the opposite wall. I ran to him, and grabbed it from him. He froze, watching me as I placed it back on the wall. I turned and looked at him as he held back tears.
' Why ? ' I murmured. I felt a burning inside of me, getting stronger as I walked over to him. What was he feeling ? He turned into a helpless mass of a vampire as I took his hand and led him to his room. He had pieces of TV stuck in his skin, keeping himself from heeling. In that moment, all hatred I had towards him disappeared as I realized the cocky, big headed, mean person he made himself out to be was just a disguise. I was going to hate myself for doing it, but I unbuttoned his shirt, and took it off. I picked out all the bits of TV, and as I got the last bit out, he grabbed my hand, stopping me from pulling away from him. I looked up at his face, and realized he was crying. He pulled me closer to him, and I wrapped my arms around his neck, giving him the biggest hug I could. He froze, not expecting it, and I felt his muscles tense at the friendliness of my action.
' Relax ' I whispered, ' you don't have to pretend around me. '
In response, he pulled me closer yet again, making me straddle him. That made me rather nervous, but I felt him calm down. He didn't wrap his arms round me though, instead he rested his hands on my hips. I pulled away as his hands went up my body, giving him a warning look.
' Sigrid... ' He said, unable to look me in the eye. ' I don't understand you. '
Wait... Did he just call me by my name ? ' What do you mean, you don't understand me ? ' I asked. I tried to get off him, so I could sit next to him but he stopped me. He wanted to keep me on him.
' What you do to me. ' he said, unsure of himself. He then looked up at me. He was scared, I could feel it. And that made me scared.
' Don't be scared ' he whispered, as one of his hands caressed my cheek. I stopped breathing, and I couldn't move as we were locked in each other's gaze. And then his lips were on mine, sending fire threw my body. Man did he know how to kiss ! I didn't think about pushing him away, not for a second. My hands found his naked chest, as I had wanted to do since I had his blood. Or maybe before then...
He deepened the kiss as our tongues battled for control, his hands on my hips, in my hair, holding my face... I pulled away after a few minutes, breathless.
' Eric ' I tried to say, as he claimed my lips again. ' Please ' I pushed him away, though I didn't get up. ' What's going on ? '
