Chapter 11

"I think we should dress in a more battle appropriate way, don't you Sookie?" Pam asked as we were putting the weapons back on the wall of the training room. Sam was stretching upwards, I could hear his joints creaking from where I stood across the room, Pam was watching him appreciatively.

"I suppose" I answered wondering where she was going with this. A few minutes before, she and Eric had excused themselves to a small changing room in the back. She grinned wickedly at me and said "May I present to you Super Sookie" she said fangs down, Pam stepped aside to reveal Eric in my body, wearing a Lycra Wonder Woman outfit... with cape. I had never looked so sexy, my hair was loose with a light shimmer applied under my eyebrows, a cranberry lip-gloss making my lips look like a tempting fruit. Oh my God she even had the proper boots.

"Pam I don't even wanna know why you have this get up".

"Comic con" she answered looking as abashed as a Vampire could. I started laughing, this was the weirdest night of my life, my Vampire friend was a closet geek, my boss had tested my fighting skills by turning into a Lion and at one point nearly biting my undead lover's arm off. Why couldn't I just go to the movies on a Saturday night like any other young woman?

"You go to Comic con?" Sam asked obviously not trying to laugh.

"Ever since the great revelation it has been opened later, mostly due to the hopeful Vampire fans who hope we will show up, it's good, you can get any comic's you've missed, and there are TV show stars, beautiful girls in skimpy outfits, and free TrueBlood for undead guests". Actually from a Vamp point of view, that would be pretty appealing.

"Wow, who knew, but at least you don't have it for..." I began hopefully.

"Oh I use it for role-playing during sex too" she said smiling brightly, great, just great.

"I like it" Eric said smiling broadly, "it fits well and makes your curves look phenomenal lover".

"Don't go getting any idea's buddy" I said, although I couldn't help being a little excited. Weird.

"I'm thinking of returning into the bar to have a dance, care to join me?" Eric asked with a leer, he placed my hands on my hips and began swaying seductively.

"You are not going out there dressed like that in my body!" I squirmed at the thought.

"I could always go out there for a dance...nude" he winked at me "unless of course you have another use for me naked..."

He started walking towards the door that led up, I could not let him out like that, moving at Vampire speed I was in front of him in a split second, he didn't seem surprised, he merely smiled. I bent down and picked up my body flinging him over my shoulder. "I'm taking you home buster". I turned to leave when an interesting thought occurred to me, I turned back to Pam as I reached the foot of the stairwell "You don't have a Superman costume do you?" Pam chuckled, once again snapping away with her small digital camera. I wondered why Eric wasn't getting all indignant about being hauled around like a sack of potatoes, then I realised that when the picture came out the roles would appear reversed, in that moment I wished I had Vamp strength when I was in my own body.

I took the corvette back to mine, I threw the keys to my own car at Sam, I didn't think if I left him alone with Pam he'd make it home, she could be determined once she had set her mind to something. Eric only winced at my driving once, I think I was getting the hang of this power thing, I had to be gentle, it was a precision instrument, a light touch had a great effect, no need to be ham-fisted, in the same way I was getting used to working with Eric's body, I would file this discovery away in the understanding Eric filing cabinet of my mind. The moment we stepped into the house I grinned at Eric, scooped him up and ran us over to my bed.

"Sookie my dear you are ravenous tonight"

"I never knew fighting could build up such an appetite"

"Oh lover that was just training, after a real fight, now that is a true rush" the way he said it made my spine tingle, I think I was experiencing true battle lust, and feelings like all other vampiric senses were on a whole other level to human senses. I wanted him. I wanted to feed. I wanted to tear something to pieces. I pushed him onto the bed, and tore off the Wonder Woman outfit, I'd buy Pam a new one if I had to, although I was sure she wasn't expecting to have it returned in one piece. Part of me was disappointed Pam hadn't had a Superman suit.

I kissed him deeply, closing my eyes, I knew it was Eric but if was going to kiss him I'd rather not be looking into my own eyes. Fangs running out I felt him undress me, I was still wearing the black jeans and shirt from our bowling date, was that only last night? It felt like days had passes to me, but I had Eric who was calming me through the bond, for once I wasn't going to object. We had been sparring surely his clothes must be starting to smell, I paused and sniffed them, only a faint scene, then I remembered Vampires don't sweat. Still the jeans had dusty marks from the training room, and the shirt needed pressing.

"Close your eyes" I whispered huskily. I darted to the utility room off the kitchen clothes in hand and threw them in the washer setting it off. I grabbed a bottle of Coke and a TrueBlood from the fridge and returned placing them on the bedside table, the blood would be room temperature by the time we had finished playing. I began kissing him, nuzzling my neck where it felt good, I used Eric's tongue to tease him licking my neck in a way that usually had my lower abdomen tingling nicely. He was returning the favour as little Eric pressed against my real body. I grinned chuckling in the kiss we were now sharing.

"This amuses you lover?" Eric asked looking baffled.

"Just thinking maybe we should relive our first time from a different perspective" I replied easily scooping him up. He smiled when he realised where I was taking him.

"What a perfect way to end an evening" he said smiling up at me.

I set the water running in the shower, and gently began cleaning my body, he took the soap and started to clean his, looking at him in my body, I got a feel for how he was me, my breasts did look great as the water cascaded down them, the shampoo and soap mingling pleasingly with our own scents. With Eric's olfactory senses I noticed something.

"We match" I said, looking at him questioningly.

"You have said that before my dear, when we were getting ready for that orgy" he replied smiling at the memory.

"No I mean out scents, is it because we've traded blood?" I asked, as I massaged the shampoo into my hair.

"I noticed when I first met you, that's part of the reason I liked you, but the similarities have increased since we have shared blood. Your scent was unique a small amount of perfume, but the rest was all you, warm, magical, and delectable" I smiled warmed by his praise; he really was a wonderful man.

I decided not to play games, so I picked him up kissing for all I was worth, my gracious plenty, wait my? Ok, I've been in Eric's body too long. I stroked my nub, enjoying the groaning sounds Eric was making, I could feel the wetness, and decided to enter... I missed, ok this whole sex thing was difficult, I had been a little too enthusiastic, Eric was chuckling in my ear, "Patience lover, it's not a race" I tried again carefully guiding little Eric with his hand, a small oh from Eric and I knew I had hit my mark, I moved slowly at first wiggling a little, making my real body writhe, once again the shower curtain got pulled down somehow, as we stumbled into the bedroom with fluffy towels trailing behind us. We came in unison, I had never felt so connected to anyone, "Me either" he whispered after I relayed that thought to him. We had been curled up together enjoying the afterglow when I asked him.

"Where are we going tomorrow night?"

"To rally the troops you mean?"

"Yeah, you said that you knew somewhere where the Supes would be sympathetic if the four of us went together". I began stroking my hair; he seemed to enjoy that and closed my eyes briefly.

"It's a bar in Ruston, it's made up of Supe only clients"

"Like club, uh Josephine's in Jackson?" I nearly slipped and called it Club Dead like the Were's did.

"Sort of, not owned by a Vampire though, it's owned by a very special Supe, and you can only go in groups" I raised an eyebrow questioningly. "Mixed groups, Vamps and Were's together usually."

"Wow" I said, knowing the animosity the two species shared.

"It helps keep the peace, it's a smart system, those willing to get along with other Supes are less likely to cause a fight, and there's at least one enchantment on the place to keep the atmosphere friendly". Eric smiled, then added "but that's for tomorrow lover, tonight, is for us..." he kissed my starting with a gentle brush of my lips and working his way down to...

"Oh, you really want to oh!" I said gasping a little as he licked and teased.

"It's not every day one gets to suck one's self off, actually it's nigh on impossible unless you have some ribs removed like a certain rock singer"

"Did he actually do that or was it all rumour?"

"Bubba tells me it's true, quite how he knows, or why he cares aren't quite apparent, but he's Bubba" Eric shrugged continuing to lick and tease me. I was glad wasn't here with her camera to capture this particular moment.

"Maybe it's a musician thing" I muttered as I allowed Eric to continue. What a night. An hour later it was approaching dawn and we had climaxed twice more, when I suddenly sat bolt upright, putting his hands either side of his head.

"What is this?" I asked crying out, it felt like a sharp pain right behind my eyes, but it burned searing the need to sleep in my mind, I felt like... dying.

"Oh hell!" he cried seeming to recognise my dilemma. "The sun, quick" he hauled me to my feet somehow and propelled me into the light tight space beneath the closet. "If you don't get into a dark place at least fifteen minutes before sunrise the pain starts, it's a survival mechanism really. Now Sookie soon you'll start to feel like you're losing consciousness, don't fight it, you're just going into downtime as you call it".

"And you couldn't have told me this sooner?" I asked through gritted teeth, the pain was receding but I was still momentarily annoyed.

"I didn't realise it was so close to dawn" he smiled wistfully then added "I think your internal clock is broken..." I was about to reply when I started to fall being pulled into the darkness of unconsciousness, as I did I wondered whether Vampires dreamed....

(Wow it's been a while since I've uploaded sorry about that, this story has about 3 maybe 4 more chapters to go then I'll finish, but I will be uploading shorter companion pieces set in the same DaLi (Dead and Loving it) world. Next chapter I think will be from Pam's PoV for the trip to.... well, you'll see. Then back to Sookie's PoV for the battle, I keep meaning to get to the action then another idea pops into my head like a rampaging bunny of doom) P.S thanks so much for reading and reviewing x
