Hi everybody! Here's chapter 10. And there's another "time jump". I really had to move on a little bit but at the same time I wanted them to be apart for a while. I hope you'll like this chapter. If you have any question or suggestion, please feel free to drop me a line. I love to hear your feedback! Célia

Eric "Kidnap An Angel"

When Sookie decided to leave, I had a hard time accepting that and so I decided that I needed a break and I left for Europe. I stayed there and had a good time for about half a year and then I came back.

But just a few days after I arrived at Louisiana, I had to leave again. This time to Nevada, so I could talk to De Castro about Sookie. My pledge to her earlier that year in front of Victor (and the fucking reason why Sookie had left) had given me some time, but a visit to Las Vegas to talk about the telepath was necessary. And so I went there.

De Castro obviously hated that Sookie had left one of this states, but he had a psychic in his cohort now, so he wasn't as concerned about Sookie's absence as I feared. A really good clairvoyant was much more appreciated than a telepath, especially if the telepath just read human minds but the psychic saw everyone's future, namely vampires. Besides, I added that Sookie was losing "her touch" and hadn't been listening as good as before. I left Las Vegas after I promised that if De Castro would need her, I, as her bonded, would bring Sookie to him. But, at the same time, I knew he was too excited with his new supernatural diviner to care about Sookie. That, and the fact that it was now known that we had bonded (no one in the US, other than Pam, knew that our bond was broken), would keep Sookie safe from harm from vampires. De Castro, again, extended his protection to Sookie (he still remembered how she had saved him) and I went back to Louisiana.

In Shreveport, I just kept working and trying to forget Sookie. Pam was told to never mention her again and I immersed myself in my duties as Sheriff and my new bars. Eventually, several months later, and discarding the fact that I had told her that I didn't want to hear about Sookie ever again, Pam told me she was engaged.

And when my child said that Sookie was getting married I just thought "what the fuck? How did this happen?" Last time I knew Pam had told me that she was dating a were but just holding hands. And then it hit me: that had been more than a year before and I hadn't let Pam talk to me about her ever since. And so I did what I knew best: I destroyed the office in a tantrum and then left.

I spent a few days just flying and running nowhere in particular just to spend my energy. Two weeks later, I went back to Shreveport and told Pam that Sookie could marry whoever she wanted because I just didn't care about her anymore. Just speaking those words felt like a thorn was lodged in my throat, but I kept repeating it to myself. It was as if saying it out load would make it true.

And then, I decided to visit Ocella again. But he knew why I was back and he didn't receive me as well as before. "Is this still about a fucking human girl?" He could feel it was and he hated it. "The bond is closed already. Why the hell are you still thinking about a fucking meal? I don't want to hear about this anymore. Just kill her already. Then this fucking problem will end." And I understood him. The whole "still think about Sookie" issue made me look weak. And so it made him look weak. And we both hated it. Besides, he was still having problems with his other child and didn't need me there if I wasn't myself yet.

And so I left Europe again and went back to Louisiana. I was awful for a few weeks and even Pam tried her best to avoid me. But then something good happened. Actually, something great happened: Natércia visited me and I convinced her to stay. It was our 20th or 21st time together as a couple for more than a few nights. Natércia was high-maintenance, blood-thirsty and old as dirt. A perfect vampire. And a perfect companion. My perfect companion. We drank together, met old acquaintances and new vampires together, fucked together and spent the day together. She would usually sit by me at Fangtasia, Bloodbath or Deadliest and be idolized by the vermin and (private and silently) hated and feared by the vampires. Natércia was more or less my age and being with her was second-best only to being with Ocella. Actually, I was having a better time with her than Ocella. Natércia was my best friend. And had been for centuries. She was the only one (besides Pam, of course) that I trusted enough to spend the day with.

And suddenly another three years had passed and I managed to put Sookie even further back in my mind. And I usually did it. I mean: sometimes I would see a curvy blond and think of her but nothing more. Besides, Sookie Stackhouse's name was absolutely prohibited in my vicinity. I knew Pam talked to her often and they even meet once in a while, I felt it. But we never talked about my former bonded. I never asked and Pam never answered my unspoken questions. And, of course, there was Natércia's great ability to occupy my time. And my mind. And my cock.

"I got us a couple of 21 year old twin girls. They'll be here at 3 am." She said on a Saturday night a little after we woke up. I had had a really stressful week full of problems with the bars and the new beverages' supplier and she knew that I was in a bad humor. "Red haired, petite body and never been bitten before." Her smile showed some fang.

"You did?"

"I know you've been moody recently and I thought to get you a treat."

"To get me? Are they both for me?" I teased while I grabbed Nat and sat her on my lap. I had my left hand on her hair and I pulled her in for a kiss while my right hand griped her knee. Nat's kisses were always feral and rough. And so, her fangs soon pierced my bottom lip and I loved it. When our kiss ended, she licked my blood from her lips with her tongue. It was very sexy. She was very sexy.

"Well, I was hoping you'd share them. After all, they are two." She said.

"How did you find two never before bitten girls willing to be bitten by us?"

"Hemophy dot com. The new site. And I've met them yesterday. They were so excited and scared at the same time." She smiled at me like a kid with a new toy. Well, I guess she did have a new toy. She just wasn't a kid anymore, even though she would always be 21 years old herself.

"Were they expensive?"

"They were free. They really want to both be bitten at the same time. And they are picky. They wanted two good looking vamps, a man and a woman. And someone really old too, so there won't be any risk of getting carried away."

"Strange girls."

"They are. But they're also really beautiful, and they smell differently. But in a good way. And can you imagine? The way their hearts will beat when our fangs approach their necks? There's nothing like a never bitten neck of a non-glamoured human."

I kissed her neck and hugged her closer to me. "Lovely. And it's been a while since I had a never bitten neck. I'd bet they'll taste sweet. You always know how to pick them. You truly are amazing Nat." I've known for a few centuries now how she loved compliments. And I never wasted any opportunity to praise her. As expected, she immediately started stroking my cock. In that same second, my right hand grabbed her knee stronger.

"And I'd bet you'll fuck them both," she answered me.

I moved her so we were both lying on the floor (me on top, obviously). "I'll just fuck you. Right now." She giggled and a couple of minutes later we were both naked and I was already inside of her. Nat strongly grabbed me and made me fuck her roughly and with all my strength. And because we were two vampires, there was no reason to stop for breathing or recovering.

Three or four hours later, the girls arrived at my house. And if I had bet, I would have won. They did taste really sweet. And the smell of their fear and arousal was great. But if Nat had bet, she would have lost. I didn't fuck any of the girls. They tasted too sweet. There was something fairy in them. Just a touch. Maybe just a 1/16th or even less, but it was there. After Sookie, I could recognize fairy blood with all the easiness in the world. Yes, there was a touch of fae in them. But now that was just a turn off for me. They just reminded me of Sookie.

They had just left when Nat asked: "Why didn't you have them?"

"I did. I drank one of them."

"I meant sex."

"Natércia, I had just had sex with you. It's not that I couldn't do it. It's just that I didn't feel for it. But I loved them. And I thank you for your exquisite gift."

"You're worth it."

Yes, life with Nat was easy. And fun. And I had a really great time. And those three years together, passed on a blur. But there was one problem though: Pam and Natércia couldn't stand each other. They even fought twice. I had to step in both times obviously, because even without wanting to kill Pam, Natércia was so old that she could seriously hurt her.

And at that second fight, I took Pam's side. Natércia had been drinking fang-bangers at Fangtasia and Pam had said she wouldn't allow it in her bar. That developed into something like "who the fuck are you to think I need your permission to do whatever I want" and "I'm the fucking manager and co-owner at Fangtasia and biting is not allowed here". A few "bitch", "cock-sucker" and other terms later they started fighting. And so, because Pam was right (biting in public places is, indeed, prohibiting by law), and I said so, Natércia decided to leave after those three years with a loud: "I'm going to visit some other male friends who haven't been unmanned by their children. Goodbye Eric. See you next time."

"Thank God," Pam said immediately, "I can even breathe better without her here." And I could not stop smiling and, deep down, agreeing with Pam. Besides, it was a nice pun. The "vampire breathing better" part.

The thing is: Natércia was amazing. But because she was so amazing (and so old), she saw everybody (who wasn't as amazing and as old as she was) like a child sawa bug: inconsequential for the most part, not worth of her attention except sometimes when it was something fun to play with or something boring that needed to be crushed.

And so, Natércia's leaving, in fact, cleared the air and the tension among vampires and I got to see my child be much happier than before. And if I was to be honest with myself, I had to recognize that Natércia had been great in my "Sookie recovery" but I was recovered already and I didn't need her anymore. Natércia and I had always been too intense to last and so we never managed to stay together for long. Well, there was always next time. Sooner or later, we'd be together again. I was absolutely sure of that.

And after that, and for a few weeks, I felt that I was the Eric from before: not the Eric mourning Sookie's absence, nor the Eric that absolutely needed to be with Ocella or Natércia so he would remember what he was. I was me again. I was what I was before the whole blood bond fiasco: I was a fair sheriff, concentrated in my job and spending lots of great times with lots of great women.

But, as usual, everything comes to an end: both the good times and the bad times. And I saw the end of my good times in Pam. Or rather: I heard it in her voice when she called me almost in panic:

"David called me Eric. Sookie's in trouble. Deep shit trouble."

"What kind of deep shit trouble?"

"Fairy deep shit trouble. David's not even sure if she is still alive."

"Who is David and how does he know this?" I swear, I could almost feel my dead heart beating fanatically inside my chest. Now I was in panic. "Not sure if Sookie is still alive"? Not possible!

"He's… he's her husband Eric." If I felt my heart beating before, now I definitively felt it stopping beating. Her husband? But Pam was still talking and I focused, so I could pay attention to her words. "And he called me after Sookie was kidnapped almost two hours ago. They were at home when someone attacked them. Sookie was taken. He was gravelly beaten and was taken to the hospital. He called me from the ambulance. He said he smelled fae."

"What kind of fae?"

"He doesn't know. He's not really connected to the supernatural world. He just said they looked like fae. He didn't even know that Sookie's part fairy. When I asked if he had called Niall he said "Niall who?".

"We have to call him. Niall, I mean."

"Already done it. He's on route to Bon Temps now. There's a portal to Fairyland behind Sookie's former house. He's going to meet Bill at this moment and they will start searching for her as soon as they meet."

A portal in Bon Temps? But, more important than that: Bill? Why the hell...? I had to ask: "Bill?"

"Of course. He lives there. And he's her friend. He wants to help. And I called him after I called Niall. I didn't know what to do Eric. I didn't even know if you wanted me to tell you this or not. I mean: it's Sookie, the unmentionable. But on the other hand, it's Sookie, my human friend. And she's in deep, deep, deep shit. They are at war Eric."

"Who is?"

"The fucking fairies are. The sky fairies and the water fairies. Niall told me that Sookie, as his part human great gran daughter, is a target for his enemies. They want her Eric. And they want her dead."

"Where are you now?"

"I'm with Dahlia and Clancy. We left Bloodbath 15 minutes ago and we're driving to Bon Temps."

I didn't answer. I was still processing everything in my brain: there's a war; Sookie was taken; they want her dead.

"Eric? Eric? Fuck. Eric? Say something! Did I do wrong? Calling Niall? Calling you?"

"No. No. You did well. I'll leave Fangtasia now. I'm flying. I'll meet you at Sookie's house.".

I immediately shut down my phone, picked two iron swords and almost five years after my last visit I flew to Bon Temps again.

So, Pam called saying that Sookie was in trouble, and Eric immediately decided to help. And they'll eventually meet again soon. But she has married David and they are more or less happy together… And what did you think about Natércia? I actually like her and I'm thinking about bringing her back. Would you like that?

"Kidnap An Angel" is on the "100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong" album. The music isn't that great, but the lyrics are awesome!
