No one moved; no one dared as Eric stood staring at Sookie, whose wide eyes and innocent expression made it hard to believe she could have killed a room full of the supernatural.
Eric was the first to move, taking hesitant steps forward never breaking eye contact with sookie. He knew she was his sookie again, He felt her fear and anxiety radiate through their bond that was slowly repairing from Hawks damage.
Eric walked until he was only a foot from sookie and he stopped dead, staring into her bright blue eyes that held his existence.
"Eric" she mumbled her eyes welling with tears as her legs gave out on her. Eric caught her holding her warm flesh against his body. Mumbling into her hair.
"My lover, my life please never leave me again, your safe, you're here, your mine" h mumbled over and over into her hair.
Pam stepped forward feeling her eyes well up with blood, she wanted to run to sookie and hug and tell her never to leave them again and the only thing that stopped her was Hayden's hand on her waist.
"Give them a moment" he whispered in her ear. Hayden really did like sookie and want her as his but he could see that we would never be who she needs, who she deserves and who she loves. She needed her Viking, he could see that. Of course that wasn't going to stop him from trying.
Eric pulled back and looked down at sookie "Lover are you alright?" he asked wiping the tears from her cheek with his thumb.
"I don't know" she whispered and buried her face back into his chest.
Eric lifted her cradled to his chest and turned to the crowd his voice lethal and eyes hard.
"What happened here tonight will stay in this room. The supernatural community will continue as it always has and if anyone who tries to go against this warning must remember that behind this sweet face and innocent eyes" he looked down at sookie and back at the crowd "is a magic beyond belief. She does not want to interfere in our affairs and it would be best for all if she remain as only the telepath" Eric said and watched as the supes mumbled amongst each other before nodding their agreement.
Then Hayden stepped forward looking from the vampires in the room "Know this, this girl has the protection of fairies and vampires" he looked pointedly at the older vampires in the room "not that she needs it but she is protected, anyone who sees her as a threat and tries to harm her will face the consequences of the entire supernatural word on their head" he said with authority before turning to Eric "she has been though a lot take her home I will clean up this mess"
Eric nodded in thanks and turned carrying sookie from the building and vaulting into the sky with the intention of taking her home and keeping her with him always.
