AN: I FELT I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH OF ERIC IN THE LAST CHAP, SO THIS ONE IS ALL IN HIS SEXY MANJLOL

"So you want to live forever, don't ya

I feel your pressure drop

And when I bite the right side of your neck baby

You never want me to stop

What can I do to get over you

I'm on a main vein search

And I think I'm getting closer baby

I gotcha shaking like back of the church

Shake it shake it Shake it shake it

I bleed to feed

Why don't you make it to me

Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me

I'll set you free"

Bleed to Feed, C.C. Adcock

From a Whisper to a Scream

Chapter Nine

Bleed to Feed

she had to be alright, there was so much blood. We were back in our suite, I had my back against the pillows of the bed. With her back against my chest and laying between my legs, I had my arms around her. As I bit into the cold flesh of my wrist, I heard her moan.

"Everything will be alright soon." As I said this I once again pressed her lips to my wrists and urged her to feed. Blindly she took it, I knew that she had not lost as much blood as I had initially thought. This relieved me, although she would still need my blood to heal. Nuzzling my nose against her tender soft neck, I could smell her blood. It called to me like no other human's ever had, and it smelled like honeysuckle in springtime. It took all the strength I had to not lean in just a little more and pierce her flesh, and mark her as mine. Feeling her lips on my wrist, I closed my eyes as I felt our connection become stronger with the ingestion of my blood. This being the second time I had given her blood, meant we would be closer in our blood bond than her and Bill had been. That my lips form the biggest smile I have worn in centuries. Sookie's soft warm body between my legs was bringing my body sexually alive. Before I had a second to rethink, I pulled my wrist from her lips and laid her head against the pillow I had been leaning against. Brushing a strand of her blonde hair off her forehead.

"Oh, my sweet Sookie. They will pay for this." Leaning forward I placed a light kiss on her cheek. After tucking her in and closing the door behind me, I turned to see Godric standing in the living room. "I will find them and rip their throats out, for even thinking they could harm what IS mine." Saying all this in a hushed and deadly tone, Godric looked at me, making eye contact.

"I have already sent Stan, Isabelle and your Chow to retrieve Bill and Lorena. They will be here at any moment."

"What do you plan to do?"

"I will punish them, my child. You have no need to worry. Retribution will be made, but you have to except my ways of retribution. I have seen how you care for her. She is remarkable, and she surprises me. I think she will be good for you." At that moment there was a knock on our suite door, following the knock five more vampires entered the living room. As I bared my fangs to take my retribution, Godric held up a hand. "My child, I command that you let me take care of this." I nodded and locked my gaze with Bill's. Godric faced the two vampires, Lorena was looking at Godric unsure of how to behave. With her eyes she watched Godric warily, awaiting what was to come. I kept her in side view, still locking gazes with Bill. Bringing Lorena into this may have been a mistake, but then again sookie was now mine, I would never leave her presence again. Which made Lorena no threat. Godric spoke after a few minutes of letting the vampires squirm.

"I would like to know whose idea it was to cause harm to Eric's human." As the words 'Eric's human' left Godric's mouth, Bill withdrew his fangs and hardened his stare. Surprisingly he still cared for Sookie, he would not get the chance to see her again. Although I knew he could sense her in my room, his eyes left mine briefly to look at the closed door. Silence surrounded the room, they had not answered Godric. "It would be wise if you answer all questions pertaining to Sookie."

"It was mine." Lorena answered a few seconds later. "I do not regret it." I growled at her.

"Why do you wish this human harm?" Godric asked curiously.

"She a mere human, I wish all of them pain. You should to, we are superior to them. Although I did not harm her, I merely held her captive."

"Then who did harm her?" Godric took a step toward Lorena as he asked this.

"I entrusted a pack of weres to watch over her through the day, it seemed my trust was misplaced." I moved my eyes from Bill to look at Lorena, she was trying to put all blame on these weres. Which would have to deal with me, I knew her too well to think she had nothing to do with what had happened. Lorena enjoyed different avenues of torture, who knew what she had planned for sookie.

"I neither know nor care who you are, but in this area I am the authority. Do you understand?" Lorena nodded her head, I could see a trace of fear in her eyes. "I could snap you like a twig, but I haven't. why is that?"

"It is your choice." Lorena answered barely hanging on to her pride.

"Indeed it is, you are a very old vampire I can tell. I am older, which means if I find that you have caused a human any harm in my area," Godric stepped closer to her. Leaning into her ear, which was just for show as all the vampires could hear every word that was spoken. "I will forgo any laws that keep you safe at this very moment. You." he now was looking at Bill. "Do you know her well?"

"Yes she is my maker."

"Escort her from this area and if either of you are seen in this area again, I fear I will not be able to stop another's revenge. Understand?"

"Yes," as Bill answered he looked at Lorena to insure as he was going to listen to Godric.

"Go now and never return." A second later they were both gone. Godric looked to his second in command, Isabelle. "Make sure they are out of this area by dawn."

"Yes, sir." Chow and Stan left behind her. Standing there I felt unsatisfied, I believed her when she said that they physically did not harm her. I could smell the filthy dogs all over her. Which enraged me, they had touched her, I also saw that she had bruises on her arms. Although they were fading already. The only good thing about them getting that close to her, was that she had one of the were's blood under her nails. It made it easier to track him and tear him to pieces. My anger rising, I turned to look at Godric.

"I appreciate your help, father, but I do wish you would have let me take my own retribution."

"Indeed I am sure you do. I was looking out for your safety, I may not always be there to protect you. It is against our laws to kill one another. "

"Oh I did not have any intention to kill them." Saying this several images came to mind, making me smile. I would have enjoyed causing them immense pain. Godric shook his head at me.

"I have myself to blame for your love of cruelty."

"Yes, you do. I have enjoyed all the things you have taught me, they have made me a better vampire."

"But at the cost of losing all your humanity."

"The only humanity I crave is laying in that room." I nodded toward my closed bedroom door.

"I do hope she can bring you out of this world of cruelty you love so."

"Father, I mean no disrespect but is not you who has created this cruel world for me?"

"Precisely, that is my point. I wish to show you a better way to live your undead life." He looked as if he was wanting to say more, than there was a knock on the door. With it came the smell of were. Bringing the door open quickly I was surprised to see this were standing in front of me.

"I know who took her and why. I will help you kill them all."

"Why would you want to help me?"

"They have murdered my father."

"By all means come in." I watched the were warily as I let him in. I did not trust him. I planted myself in front of him, so he could not see the door to Sookie behind me. "First, what is your name?"

"Alcide, Alcide Herveaux."
