A/N: Well lovelies here it is sorry it took so long to update I had some nasty computer issues. Lost the whole chapter I had written and had to start from nothing. So without further ado here when have Sookie's rising.
I won nothing I just love playing with the toys of others.

After Pam had buried us I felt my body starting to slip into the hibernation like state that happens when the magic that animates us transfers from the maker to the childe. I was certain that once Sookie learned how to handle her new nature she would be spectacular and I would be the envy of many of our kind. Having a bonded mate was such a rare thing in our world, so rare in fact that in my thousand plus years I was only aware of one other pair.
I was still in awe of her decision to become my mate, she had always been against becoming a vampire and I was anxious to find out what had changed her mind. I wish that the circumstances had been different, that we could have made her turning as special as our bonding had been. Just thinking about the events that led to this makes my blood boil and once my Sookie is risen together we will have vengeance on Compton.
I let my mind wander to more pleasant topics since my rage would only make the transition period uncomfortable. I thought about what gifts Sookie might have; she had a 50 percent chance of inheriting the ability to fly from me. It was common for bloodlines to pass on the same gifts but there were many other gifts vampires could manifest. Pam had not inherited flying and as far as we could tell she had not displayed any gifts yet, this pissed her off to no end.
I was curious to find out if her telepathy would still be intact after her turning. I would be willing to bet that it would and that more than likely it would enhance her ability to read all species as well as make it easier for her to shield her mind from others.
I started feeling very groggy as the transition progressed and my last thought before my mind succumbed to the makers hibernation was how much I looked forward to once again feeling her arms around me and her body pressed against mine as she whispers in my ear how much she loves me.

Three nights, three long and agonizing nights I stood guard over my master and mistress. I arranged for the Long Tooth pack of Shreveport to provide day guards around Eric's property to make sure no disturbed them during the day. They stayed at night as well for added security since Sookie was a friend of the pack.
There were so many things to get ready for Sookie to rise. I bought her a complete wardrobe of clothes all designer of course and had Eric's day man leave them in the upstairs bedroom closet. She was going to be a vampire of high status being Eric's mate and she needed proper attire befitting her new position among the undead.
I contacted all her loved ones and told them that Sookie and Eric were spending some alone time and would contact all of them when they returned. I knew Sookie wouldn't want those she cared about worrying about her. I knew that it would be up to her to tell them of her change, it was a very personal thing and they should hear it from her.
When Sookie rose she would need fresh blood and lots of it, newborns have extreme appetites. True Blood was not an option since it was important to learn to feed immediately. Eric would also need blood after being without for three days even at his age he could go for longer than that and be ok but he had given half his blood to make Sookie.
I didn't want to just herd up a bunch of bland fang bangers from Fangtasia for her first meal so I spent a few hours each night hunting down willing donors who had above average blood. In total I had twelve donors scheduled to meet me at Fangtasia at sunset, I would glamour them before bring them to Eric's.
Each vampire has a different blood type they prefer and so I made sure that I had two of each blood type so Sookie could figure out what hers was. She would probably drink at least five before her hunger would be sated after her rising, which left a few for Eric and me. A family picnic, how delightful!
I was also looking forward to the vengeance that would be delivered to that fuck stain Compton. He had nearly cost us all everything and I knew beyond a shadow of doubt that whatever Eric had in mind would have him begging for the true death. If I had to guess he was going to let Sookie have at him for the blood offense and I have to say I am very much looking forward to that!
Finally the last rays of the sun disappeared freeing me to collect my donors. I knew that Sookie wouldn't rise until about an hour or so after sunset and I knew Eric would wait for her before digging them out. I quickly dismissed all the Were's ,I wanted Sookie's rising to be a private event plus I wasn't certain that she might not try to drain one if they got to close.
I climbed into the large van I had rented the night before and sped off to Fangtasia to collect the evening's meal. It only took me a half an hour to get there and back. Once all the donors were glamoured with very precise instructions I motion for them to follow me into the backyard; I had them stand in a line about 50 yards from where Eric and Sookie were buried. Now that I had everything ready I walked over to the grave patiently waiting for them to rise.

I woke with the setting of the sun and immediately searched for the new bond I should have with Sookie. Once I tapped into it I felt my anxiety melt away our bond was very strong and I knew that her turning had been successful; it would be long now til she woke.
I prepared myself for the panic, confusion and disorientation she would feel. When a new vampire wakes that first time they don't remember what happened to them and waking up buried is very unsettling. Even after a thousand years I still remember the night I woke and the emotions that raced thru me as I found myself buried.
You have all these new senses and until the quickening happens after a few minutes it is a terrifying. The quickening is when your memories return to you and your vampire instincts kick in. At this point your body relaxes and the panic lessens since you gain understanding of the situation. It is then your maker takes control and begins teaching you how to manage and control all your impulses.
I can feel that Pam is waiting a few feet from where we are resting thru our bond I can feel her excitement and anticipation. I can hear the heat beats of twelve humans closer to the house and I am pleased that Pam has acquired enough donors to feed us all. She truly is an excellent childe, one day she will be a good maker.
It has been about an hour since the sun set when I feel my bond to Sookie flare to life. My emotions explode my lover is returned to me, I gently close my side of the bond so my emotions don't overwhelm her. She will have enough to deal with as her awareness returns.
I brace myself for the impact of her panic and terror just before it slams into me. Her fear is so great that it is almost overwhelming me, I have a great desire to help ease her fear thru our bond but I restrain myself. It is part of the process and will pass soon. I try to console myself with that fact as she begins struggling viciously to dig herself out of the ground.

When I woke up today I felt great, my body felt strong, my mind was very sharp. That was unusual; when I woke I was normally groggy until I had some coffee in me. It was then I realized I wasn't in my bed or any bed for that matter. I smelt dirt and could feel a weight pressing down on my body I opened my eyes and all I saw was darkness. I felt the panic rise in me when I found myself to be buried.
I tried to recall what the hell was going on and came up blank, my panic quickly turned to terror when I couldn't remember anything at all other then waking up. I began to claw at the earth trying to get myself out of the ground; I was surprised at how easy it was. It only took a few seconds for me to free myself and when the cool night air hit me I inhaled deeply that's when I knew something was different.
I sat down and stared at the hole I had just dug out of confused and afraid. Who would do such a horrible thing to me? Someone buried me alive. I was so caught up in my panic that I hadn't noticed Eric arrive until he spoke. "Lover do not be frightened. Everything will be fine, you just need a moment to adjust." He said his voice full of concern and understanding.
That's when it hit me memory after memory assaulted my mind, our bonding, Bill's attack, my impending death, watching Eric fall apart in front of my eyes, and then me asking him to turn me. I began to relax almost immediately once I knew what was going on. I was filled with joy and love Eric wanted me forever, I was a vampire now.
Suddenly I was hungry more than I had even been in my whole life. I felt almost unhinged the hunger was clawing at my insides and my gums began to throb painfully but that only lasted a moment before my fangs snapped down. Jesus Christ Sheppard of Judea! The most delicious smell drifted on the breeze and my eyes snapped in the direction which it was coming from, about 50 yards away stood a group of humans. I inhaled deeply taking in the smell of their blood, the sound of their hearts beating called to me and without realizing it I took off like a shot in their direction.
My mind was consumed with the need to have their blood, the hunger was clawing at me and my new fangs were throbbing to the point of pain. I was within a few feet of having them in my grasp when I heard Eric "Sookie, I command you to stop." I had absolutely no intention of stopping but I was frozen to the spot, my body would no longer obey me.
Eric was by my side in the blink of an eye and wrapped his arms around me pushing calm thru our bond. I felt tears start to build as my frustration and hungry continued to claw at me "Why?" I choked out. "My lover, do not cry I promise you will feel better after you feed but you lack the control needed to not kill every one of them. I do not want to you to be angry with yourself after the blood lust passes. Come I will show you how to feed and when to stop."
He was right; I would have hated myself if I had killed them. Eric took my hand and led me over to the group of donors he explained how to monitor their heart rate and when the beat slowed that I would need to stop. He explained that it help to think of the most repulsive thing I could imagine and that I would most likely need to drink from at least 5 of them before my hunger would subside since I was a newborn.
"Alright Sookie now you may choose your meal." He said and I could feel the beginnings of lust start to seep into the bond. I inhaled deeply and was drawn to a man in the center of the lineup he smelled delicious. I grabbed him and my eyes zeroed in on the pulse in his neck and then my instincts kicked in. I licked his neck where I planned to bite before I sank my fangs into him.
After the first few mouthfuls of his blood I felt a little relief from the vicious hunger I woke up with. I paid close attention to his heartbeat when it slowed I thought of Bill and immediately retracted my fangs sealed his wound and moved on to the next donor. They all had different flavors and I decided that the first man I had was my favorite Pam informed me that he was O negative.
Eric had been right I drank 5 of them before my hunger subsided and I felt relaxed and back in control. I was filthy and covered in blood but before I could care a new kind of hunger assaulted me as my eyes landed on Eric, he was feeding still but watching him lit a fire inside me that threatened to burn me to ash. I wanted to feel his fangs buried in my neck, I wanted him to drink from me as I drank from him.
My lust for him exploded inside me and I sent a tidal wave of desire thru the bond to him, his eyes locked onto mine as he pulled his fangs from the donor. Pam noticing the shift began herding the donors back towards a van and said she would return later.
I slowly walked over to Eric my eyes devouring him even dirty and covered in blood he was the sexiest man I had ever seen. He pulled me into his arms and laid the mother of all kisses on me before pulling back to look at me "Beautiful." He whispered before he picked me up and began kissing me again. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he lowered us down onto the lush grass.
"I want you." I growled shocked at the animalist sound that came from my mouth. I grabbed his shirt and tore it off I kissed every inch of his flesh I could reach before I suck his nipple into my mouth and bit down causing him to hiss with pleasure.
He shred what was left of my clothing and kissed a trail down my neck to my breasts licking sucking and nipping at the sensitive flesh eliciting a moan from me after making sure he paid attention to each he continued his way down to my center.
My body felt like it was on fire every touch sent a blot of electricity thru me I could smell my arousal as moisture pooled between my thighs. Eric pulled my legs over his shoulders he used his thumbs to part my folds and sucked on my clit teasing it with his tongue. "So wet for me my Sookie." he growled. I felt the muscles in my abdomen tighten with the pleasure he was giving me my back arching off the ground.
His fingers made their way to my wet opening, and as he sucked and licked he pushed two fingers into me curling them forward to stroke my G-spot. He set a punishing rhythm and I rocked my hips in time with him fucking myself with his fingers. He reached up my body and played with my nipples rolling them between his thumb and finger pinching them increasing the sped of his tongue on my clit.
I buried my hand is his hair dragging my nails gently across his scalp as I moaned his name over and over again. I felt myself hurtling towards bliss "Come for me lover" He said and sank his fangs into my thigh. Intense waves of pleasure began to ripple thru my body as soon as he bit down and I screamed his name into the night as the most powerful orgasm I had ever experienced shook my body.
Before I could recover from the sensation he pulled me into his lap he held me tight against his chest and kissed me deeply. He slashed his tongue on my fangs and his blood flowed thick and sweet into my mouth. I returned the favor pushing my tongue into his mouth after slicing it mingling our blood together sent our lust for each other soaring.
"I need to be in you." He hissed. I tilted my hips and the head of his cock slipped inside me. I dug my nails into his shoulders and push down forcefully impaling myself on him both of us hissing as we became one. He grasped my hips with one hand and thrust his length in and out of me franticly his pelvic bone slamming into my clit with each stroke.
He pushed me back and took my nipple into his mouth flicking it with his tongue he scraped his fangs over my flesh as he moved to my other breast leave little scratches and lapping at the few drops of blood that escaped. I was lost in the haze of desire and I had never wanted to taste him as I did now, I pulled myself as close to him as possible while he continued to pound into me. I gave no warning before I sunk my fangs into his neck drawing from him deeply. He roared into the night and drove his fangs into my neck bring both of us to an earth shattering release.
We slumped against each other riding out the aftershocks and held each other reveling in the feelings floating back and forth in our bond. After a few minutes we heard gravel crunching as a car pulled up in front of the house, I could feel it in my blood that it was Pam returning. Eric picked me up and carried me at vamp speed to our room he sat me at the end our bed and went into the bathroom to start the shower. We both washed quickly so we could go up stairs and meet Pam. I made my way to Eric's closet and planned to borrow some of his things to wear til I could get my own clothes. Turns out half his closet was filled with women's apparel and all in my size and designer. Eric laughed and told me Pam had told him she would prepare everything for me and she would never miss the opportunity to shop.
"Lover you should wear jeans and a long sleeved shirt since we will be in the woods to start your training."I grabbed a pair of indigo blue jeans and a black thermal long sleeved shirt to wear I figured dark colors would be best to help me blend in the dark. I tied my hair back in a braid before rolling it into a bun to keep it out of the way and to keep from getting it tangled in any brush. Satisfied with my appearance I made my way upstairs to Eric and Pam excited to try out my new abilities.

When I entered the kitchen Pam was unloading a cooler of donor blood into the refrigerator. Sookie being a newborn vampire would not be able to satisfy her hunger with True Blood and Pam being the excellent childe she is made sure everything was taken care of her mistress. One day Pam will be an excellent maker.
I couldn't help the excitement I felt about starting Sookie's training, I was looking forward to see her in action. I have always held the belief that she would make an amazing vampire and I was pleased that her instincts were so strong. She mastered feeding with ease and she was able to stop herself from taking too much without me having to intervene.
I warmed up a few bags of blood since it would be easier for her to focus if she wasn't hungry. When Sookie came in to the room she looked amazing and excited I handed her a large glass off blood which she down in two gulps. "Are you ready to begin?" I asked. A huge grin crossed her face and she was practically bouncing "Oh yes! I can't wait to see what I am capable of! Do you think I will be able to fly like you?"
"I am not sure but don't be disappointed if your gift doesn't manifest right away. Pam still hasn't shown any gifts and she is several hundred years old." I told her earning me a scowl from Pam. I took her hand and led her out into the back yard and explained to her what we were going to do. Pam and I were going to go into the woods and she was to locate and catch us.
"It is very important you learn to hunt nothing is out of bounds we will do everything to evade you and you must do anything to capture us. We will go now count to twenty and them come after us; understood?" She nodded her head our bond was awash with excitement. Pam and I raced thru the woods and after twenty seconds I heard Sookie coming after us, she was unbelievably quite even though I could feel she was moving extremely fast.
Within a minute she was hot on Pam's trail and I flew up to a tree branch to watch this unfold. Pam took off at full speed and shockingly Sookie was faster, after a short chase she pounced on Pam sending them crashing into the ground. I heard Sookie shout "Oh yeah in your face Pam!" as she did some kind of victory dance. I laughed so hard I almost broke a rib, Pam was not amused.
I jumped down from my perch and told her what an amazing job she had done and how proud I was of her for catching Pam on her first try. Pam snorted and chalked it up to beginners lucky but commented on how fast Sookie was suggesting that it may be her gift. "Ok Sookie now you will attempt to evade us. You get a thirty second head start before we come after you. GO!" I said and she took off like a shot.
I was full of excitement at the thrill of hunting down my lover, there is nothing like a good hunt. After thirty seconds was up we went after her, it wasn't long before I picked up her scent but she had done an thorough job of back tracking making her harder to follow. I knew she was meant to be vampire. Only a few hours old and her tactical maneuvers were impressive.
Pam spotted her up a tree about a hundred yards ahead and said she was going to get her as pay back for the take down earlier. I nodded at her to go ahead again taking up a position where I could watch. Pam was very careful as she approached Sookie she was in full stealth. I felt it in our bond when she located Pam and to say I was surprised she noticed her already would be an understatement. If I had to guess I would say here telepathy made the transition with her. She had always been able to feel a void and could use it to find a vampires location as a human, I would have to ask her at some point and test he abilities now that she was vampire.
She made no move to escape though instead she crouched down into a defensive position and waited for Pam to attack. Pam climbed to the top of an adjacent tree when she had the higher ground. Once she achieved position she lunged down to tackle Sookie but she only caught empty air. The sounds of a vicious fight were echoing thru the woods they were snarling and hissing at each other both trying to out maneuver each other. Pam caught Sookie off guard and swept her feet out from under her.
Sookie shrieked when she started to fall but then she stopped her descent and hovered in the air. My Sookie could fly! I was thrilled that she had inherited my gift and Pam was standing on the limb her mouth agape and I could feel her disbelief before her irritation took over. Pam had always been pissed that she couldn't fly I doubted that her mood would be improved now that she knew Sookie could.

We spent the next several hours training trying out all my new abilities and learning so many things that would be important if I was to survive as a vampire. I could fly and it was freaking awesome! Eric and I flew around while Pam scowled at us both. Eric had told me that we would work on glamour and test my telepathy the next time there were humans around.
When it was about an hour til sunrise we made our way back to the house to feed before our day death. I was so happy that I had made the decision to be turned. I had my Eric forever now and I knew that everything would be alright.
As I sipped my blood Eric got a very serious look on his face and I could feel thru the bond that whatever was coming next I was not going to like, I could feel the apprehension pulsing in our bond. "What is it Eric?" I asked. I could see and feel the war going on inside of him and I was starting to get worried.
"There are several things I need to tell you. Tomorrow night I will present you to my area vampires as my mate. Then I will need to call the queen to register you as my new childe."He said. Well that's not so bad. Not a fan of the queen knowing anything about me but it is what it is. Nothing of what he had just told me explained the feelings I was getting from him. I expected that both of those things would happen.
I was watching him waiting for him to come to whatever it was that had our bond in a riot. He wouldn't meet my eyes and took a deep and unneeded breath I know he was about to drop the big bad on me. "Tomorrow night we will also have to deal with Compton. He has been chained in Fangtasia's basement since he attacked you. I thought perhaps you may want vengeance." He said.
Rage, white hot pulsing rage exploded inside me at the mention of his name and that he still lived. I had assumed Eric had ended him the night I was attacked. I tried with everything that I was not to lose the tiny bit of control I had over myself but the rage was so powerful I ended up throwing the chair I had been sitting on thru the wall before I kicked the table across the room.
My fangs dropped "I want him dead NOW!" I seethed. Eric was beside me in an instant holding me tightly pushing as much calm into the bond as he could in an attempt to sooth me. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I questioned. "It was your rising night Sookie, there were a great many things you need to learn and have learned. I wanted you to be at your best if and when you chose to face him." He answered.
Oddly his answer appeased me; he wasn't trying to hide it from me. He only wanted time to prepare me and for me to be comfortable with my existence before he gave him to me. "I am sorry I tore up the house, I couldn't control the rage I felt know he still lived." I said quietly my voice full of regret.
Eric just shushed me and told me my reaction was normal and the house could be repaired. He promised me my vengeance tomorrow night after my announcement to the area vampires and then the Queen. Vengeance I would most defiantly have and much to my surprise I was very excited about making him suffer. It is a vampire thing I guess, the idea of hurting someone would normally turn me off.
Then all the wind left my sail and I was extremely sleepy, I could barley hold my eyes open. Eric noticed me starting to sag and scooped me up "The sun will soon rise lover we need to rest now." He told me. It was odd to go from being full alert to barley there in a matter of minutes.
Eric carried me down to our day chamber and helped me strip out of my clothes before crawling under the covers with me. I snuggled up next to him resting my head on his chest "I love you Eric" I managed to whisper and I heard him say he loved me back just before the sun claimed me for the day.
