Chapter 10…left me here

I must have passed out because the next time I opened my eyes eric was looking down at me and I was in a strange room. "Where are we?" I asked him and he pulled back as I sat up.

"In Jackson, you passed out about halfway here so I already booked the hotel room and brought you up to your room" he said and I smiled in appreciation. "so how long will you be gone?" I asked him and he looked outside and shook his head.

"I am not sure because I'm not sure how the king is" he said and I nodded. "can I come with you to the kings house?" I asked him and he shook his head as he sat down next to me.

"I do not want you to get hurt, the king might hurt you or someone else there will because I am not quite invited there" he said and I nodded as I understood. "I will leave now and try to return as soon as possible. Order room service but do not leave the room" he said and I looked down at my hands.

I felt him pull my chin up and as I met his eyes him lips connected right next to my lips. A part of them touched my own but it was so soft that I thought it was my imagination.

When I looked at him again I saw him smile and then he was gone. I sighed and lied back down, I was still tired so I tried to sleep some more.

Eric's pov: After I told the king about bill and then bill coming out saying that it was smart to try and pin it on him I tried to get back to danalynne but the king insisted that I stay there with them. Bill and I walked to our rooms in silence until he broke it.

"I am here trying to stay away from sookie, I do not want the king to take an interest in her or kill her. I do not want to lose her like you lost danalynne" bill said and I had to turn to him and smirk.

"danalynne is alive, somehow she survived, I am keeping her by my side until I turn her" I told bill and he looked shocked. "how? Don't get me wrong I am happy that she survived but I thought you said that you were certain she was dead? I do not hope you are going to bring her here" bill said and I had to roll my eyes at him.

"of course not she is staying at the hotel, I will take her home right after I am done here" I said and slipped into my room before he could say anything else.

I am not sure how much time has passed. Has it been hours or days… all I could think about is if danalynne was okay, I hope she is. I asked the king to go back to pam but he said he had some things to do and in the mean time, I was walking around with Talbot.

The kings son/lover. He loved Talbot more than anything and to please the king and helping him out of a temper tantrum thrown by Talbot I suggested he show me around.

The kings house was full of ornaments that he collected over the years, he killed people to get them. I was walking by the display case when a crown caught my eye. "what about this one?" I asked Talbot and he said that Russel got that over a thousand years ago.

But I knew that already, this crown was my fathers. I still remember the night where we were in the feasting room and I had snuck off to go fuck one of the maids but was stopped when I heard my father yell.

That night my whole family were Sloan and I had to take revenge. Realising now that Russell was the one I have been looking for, for more than a thousand years. All I could think about right now was killing Russell or better yet kill something he really loved.

I knew I had to get closer to him to find out what his most prized possession is. I will try and get him to go to pam and take danalynne with me and then deal with it when she was safe.

Danalynne's pov:

It has been two days that eric has left me here all by myself. I had nothing to do except watch TV and order room service. To say that I was bored out of my mind was an understatement.

I was starting to think to go out and look around but eric told me to stay here. All I could think about was joe. Joe my…I don't know what to call him.

Why would he want me to kill eric and make me think I was his fiancé, and what did seth have to do with all of it. I was thinking so hard that I soon fell asleep and only woke up on the third day eric has left me.

I was waiting for room service to bring up my food that I ordered when I decided I would go take a bath. Just when I was undressed, I heard the knock on the door and thinking it was room service I told them to come in and just set it in the lounge.

I quickly showered instead of taking a bath because I did not want my food to become cold. I grabbed the robe that I threw over the chair in the bathroom and tied it around my body. As I walked to the lounge I towel dried my hair and could not see where I was walking.

I was about to remove it when I stubbed my toe and was going to fall down from the pain when arms encircled me. I screamed because I was sure I was alone and the towel was still over my head. "shhhhhh..." the voice told me and slowly removed the towel.

Eric's pov:

I was troubled deeply…

Yes we set Pam free but Russell killed the magister and kind of kidnapped the queen Sophie.

He wanted to marry her even if he was married to Talbot. I told Pam that I was returning to Mississippi with the king because I still needed to get danalynne and I have some unfinished business with someone.

Knowing me Pam didn't ask for more information on the subject. When we arrived back at the kings house I quickly made a call before I met the king to watch as he and Talbot fought.

I told him that I would love to stay with Talbot and entertain him. The king said thank you but I was sure that the king would not have said that if he knew what I was planning.

Danalynne's pov:

when the towel was removed completely I was panicking. "please I am sorry for what I did, I thought that it was the right thing to do. I lost all of my memories and I don't know how I know you" I told him and tried to escape his arms but he tightened them around me but not in a painful way.

"relax…eric called me and asked for me to check up on you while I was back. He explained some of it to me and told me that you lost all your memories and were told a lot of lies that you believed. But since you don't remember I am alcide and eric sometimes call me to check up on you. I owe him so whenever he needs me I try to help" he told me and I sighed in relief.

"I really am sorry for knocking you out and tying you up. You just weren't supposed to be there" I told him and watched as he nodded and then let me go.

"where is eric?" I asked him and he shook his head at me "I do not even know myself he just asked me to check on you because he was worried that you left. Come on you should eat and then sleep it's getting late" alcide told me and I felt my stomach turn.

"no thanks I am not hungry anymore, but sleeping is a problem. I haven't slept well, I keep having nightmares and get about two hours of sleep so I would rather not try again" I told him and he shook his head at me.

"if I were you I would try because I have a feeling that things are going to get rough soon. Come on I will sit with you until you fall asleep" alcide said and took me by the hand and led me to my room.

He pulled the covers back and helped me climb into bed. He also climbed on and sat beside me.

It was completely silent and thought that maybe he had fallen asleep but when I looked up I saw he was staring at me. "stop staring" I whispered and me smiled softly.

"alcide do you maybe think you can hold me until I fall asleep?" I asked him and he only nodded and scooted down until his head was above mine and pulled me into his side where I laid my head on his chest and sighed as I closed my eyes.

I was just dozing off to the rhythm of alcide's heart when I heard the door slam open and there stood eric with his fangs out.

"eric it is not what you think" alcide said and I looked from him to eric but I could see that something was wrong, that's when I noticed the blood spatter on his shirt and I moved back behind alcide in fear.

"We need to leave now, I'll pack your things. Do not be afraid it was another vampire that threatened to kill me." Eric said and I watched as he blurred in front of us and I looked with a frown at alcide.

"I think you need to get dressed" alcide said and I nodded and quickly stood up and dressed in the bathroom. "what is going on?" I heard alcide ask eric but I didn't hear eric's response.

I walked out to see eric hand my bags to one of the hotel employees and then he turned towards me. "we're going to fly back home because we need to get there quickly" eric said and grabbed my hand pulling me behind him.

I barely had the chance to say bye to alcide before eric shot of into the sky. I kept my eyes closed the whole time there.

When eric sat me down I saw that we were back in the bar and eric left me standing there as he went to the back to his office. I turned to the bar and went forward to get myself a drink because I was sure I needed one. I turned around when I heard a girl walk in and saw a blonde skinny woman.

She asked me where eric was and I frowned because she didn't even ask me who I was but I just told her he was in his office. She walked to the back and just when I was going to make myself a drink the bar door opened.

"ugh eric is in his office, leave me in peace to drink my drink" I said and rolled my eyes as I poured my drink.

"thank you can you please go get him?" I heard a female voice behind me say and I groaned out loud "didn't I just say I wanted to be left in peace?" I asked out in anger and when I turned around, I gasped as I saw men dressed all in black with guns aiming at me.

I dropped my glass and watched as it shattered by my feet. "eric!" I yelled out when one of the guys stepped forward and the female smiled at me.

I watched as eric sped out in front of me and looked at the blonde woman. "I'm sorry Miss Flanagan but the bar is closed" eric said and I grabbed his arm trying to get his attention.

"thank you but I already ate, true blood only of course. Can't stay out of trouble can you?" she asked eric and before he could respond she talked again. "the VRA is two states away from variation, I should be kissing asses not cleaning up after you in fucking Louisiana" she said and I stepped back when eric stepped forward.

"oh I promise there is nothing missing from my area" eric said looking around the room and then his eyes met mine and then gestured to the back door. I got the message and started walking that way slowly.

"shut up! Your making my head hurt, officers silver him" she said and I watched as a guy stepped forward and put his gloved hand on eric's shoulder. The glove was full of silver and I watched as eric sunk to his knees while groaning in pain as the silver burned him.

After eric was on his knees I watched as the woman I now know as nan Flanagan walk to one of the back doors and only after five minutes she came back up. Eric was now sitting on a chair waiting for her to come back and waiting to see what she would do.

"down stairs is clean" she said and I saw pam watching eric intensely. "it's been wiped" she said while walking towards eric again. "well I'm a virgo, I like to be neat" eric said while smiling at her and I could have laughed but I held it back.

"your screeching pincushion of a maid, that has been glamoured so much she can't remember her own last name, does know that no one ever goes down there with so much as a mop and a promise. Suddenly it is as sterile as an operating room" nan said and I could see in eric's eyes that he was starting to doubt that he could get away with it.

"that doesn't prove anything" eric said and I barely caught it when he looked at me before looking back at nan.

"I'm sorry but I should have spoken up sooner, I was the one who went down there while eric went to ground because I wanted to plan a 'exciting' night for the two of us because he has been talking about wanting to add role play to our relationship. so I thought I could use the basement after I cleaned it." I quickly explained and watched as nan looked at eric and clearly saw his shocked face meant that he had no idea.

"mmmmmm well if only we had a magister to decide, relax it's not like you killed somebody" nan said and sat down while putting in an earpiece to talk to someone. "I just need your official statement, that's all" nan said and eric nodded.

I really wanted to listen to eric's statement but my mind went to godric and wondered if he even knew in what trouble eric was. I couldn't believe he thought this was the safest place for me. I zoned out as eric and nan talked but was snapped back when eric yelled "fuck the authority. Russell's words" eric said and nan looked shocked.

"this is why he killed the magister?" nan asked and eric shook his head "no he killed the magister because he defied him, he kidnapped queen sophie-ann because she refused him. Now if the authority or the AVL stand in his way…well…" eric said and left the threat hanging.

Nan turned her head and listened to the authority. "these are treasonous agitations, why didn't you report him?" Nan asked eric and I saw him look down. "oh I should have but the authority has only existed for a few hundred years, but my history with Russel goes back nearly a thousand years. My family was massacred, all of them by wolves. I managed to kill one, I watched as he changed into a man at the end of my sword"

eric explained what happened and I couldn't help but feel so much sorrow for him. To have witnessed that must have been horrible and then to have waited a thousand years to get revenge after carrying the burden.

"those wolves are the same…Sweden, Germany, here. With all the respect I didn't report Russell because I want him to die by my own hands. I have waited a thousand years" eric said and I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

Yes he was a vampire and joe was wrong. So wrong about him, he had a heart and I am sure he did make some mistakes and killed some innocent people but everyone makes mistakes. I saw him in a new way now but maybe it wasn't a new way maybe this was the way I saw him before I lost my memories.

"yes, yes I understand I am flying to new Orleans right away" Nan said and I looked at eric as he looked confused. "what that's it?" he asked Nan and I could see he was angry about the situation.

Nan looked back at eric and scowled "you're on lockdown until the authority makes a ruling" she said and I watched as all of them walked out of the door and then they brought in coffins for us to sleep in.

I guess it was close to sunrise because it was about ten minutes after eric moved the coffins to his office that Pam climbed into hers and slept.

I looked at eric as he sat behind his desk just starring down at it, I wondered what he was thinking about.

I watched as blood dripped down his ears and he simply wiped it away with a white towel. "you know I know I can't remember anything or who I was but I am really sorry for what happened to your family. It must have been horrible for you to remember. I can't remember and it still sucks." I said to him but he didn't answer me so I turned around and as I laid like that I fell asleep.
