Claudine and I climb into her car as I see Eric and Godric getting into Eric's red corvette together across the lot. Once we're settled and Claudine is speeding away from the bar, heading back to our house, she looks over to me in concern.

"You're sure you're okay with this, Sookie?" she asks me as I shrug.

"Like you said, Niall told me I should trust their opinions," I tell her as she gives me a pointed look.

"I know that, but you're still moving into a home with two men you've known for only a short time," she explains softly.

"Yeah, I know," I tell her as I look down to my wringing hands. "But something in my gut tells me I can trust them both, and you know Niall would never purposely put me in any real danger." She nods to me as a wide grin crosses her face.

"You think you'll have to curl up in a coffin with them?" she teases as I smack her arm.

"Oh, please," I tell her with an eye roll. "They're modern vampires, I'm sure they have regular rooms with real beds. They just have to be careful about sunlight, Claudine."

"Still, you can't tell me the thought of snuggling up between the two of them hasn't crossed your mind at least once," she teases as I grin at her.

"Maybe," I say with a shrug. "I know it's common for relationships like this to form in the supe community, but I have to confess I'm a little nervous about being with two men at the same time," I tell her as she gives me a studious glance.

"That's understandable," she tells me with a shrug. "But as protective as they are of you, I seriously doubt you have anything to worry about, Sookie. They will work to be sure you are comfortable with whatever should happen between the three of you."

"God, this is so awkward," I tell her as I raise my hands to cover my face. "I feel like I'm going to my first high school boy-girl party or something," I admit as she chuckles at me.

"That's a good thing, Cousin," she tells me with a grin. "It just proves how much you really like them."

"Maybe you're right," I say softly as we pull up to the house. I look over to see Eric and Godric climbing from the compact sports car with a smirk. Eric especially is just too tall to be tucked into such a tiny vehicle. "I just have to throw a couple bags together," I tell them as they approach me. "Um, you're welcome to come in, if you want," I tell them as they follow me into the house.

"We don't have any True Blood," Claudine informs them. "Sorry."

"That's fine," Godric tells her as I make my way to my bedroom. I duck into my closet, pulling out my luggage and when I turn around I'm left jumping at the sight of Eric and Godric standing at the closet entrance. "I, uh, just have to grab a few clothes and some weapons, it shouldn't take me long. Feel free to look around," I tell them as they turn to start looking around my room.

I place the largest bag upon my bed and zip it open before making my way to my dresser to rifle through my clothing. Luckily, my entire wardrobe is interchangeable. Leather and denim with cotton tees makes up almost the entire collection, most in black or darker colors as blood is a bitch to remove from fabric. I begin picking up clothes by the piles as I look up to see Eric and Godric looking at the collection of framed pictures upon my vanity.

"Who is this?" Godric asks me as he holds up a picture of Jason, Gran and I.

"That's my human grandmother and my brother," I tell him as he looks to me in question. "Um, Gran passed away recently, and Jason and I don't really get along. We don't talk much at all anymore," I tell him as he nods, setting the picture back upon the tabletop.

I turn to open my underwear drawer and peek over to see their backs are turned before I clutch up an armful and quickly toss them to the bottom of my luggage. Eric walks over to my closet, beginning to look through my clothing. He smirks over at me, shaking his head.

"Do you even own a dress, Sookie?" he asks as I roll my eyes at him.

"God, you sound like Claudine," I tell him as he chuckles softly. "My wardrobe tends to take a beating, so I stick with denim and leather for the most part. Dresses aren't suitable for hunting and I wouldn't want to run after a vamp in heels," I explain as he nods to me.

"Very practical," he says as I grin at him.

"Quite an impressive collection," Godric says as I turn to see him looking over my gun cabinet. I grin widely as I join him before my most prized possessions.

"They get the job done," I tell him as he opens the door, running his hand over one of my crossbows.

"Such a wide variety," he says softly as I nod to him.

"Niall wished us to be trained for all different kinds of combat and arms," I explain. "Although, I rely on my weapons much more heavily than my fellow hunters. Quinn helps me out by customizing my weapons; I'm just too petite for most store bought weaponry."

"And who is Quinn?" Eric asks as he joins us before my gun case.

"He's a good friend of mine," I tell him with a shrug. "He's a weretiger and ex-military. He's quite talented," I inform him as he nods to me. "Here, help me pack up this stuff and I'll be just about ready to go," I tell them before they're both helping me to empty my case. I drop a large duffel bag before us, and before long, it's filled with a wide array of weapons and ammo.

I duck into my bathroom and pack up my toiletries quickly, and with that, I'm as ready as I'll ever be. I walk back into the room to see Eric and Godric studying the flamethrower Quinn brought me. "Like that?" I ask as they turn to look at me. "Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I'll bet it could do some serious damage," I tell them with a grin as Eric smirks and Godric shakes his head at me. "Well, I'm ready to go," I tell them as they set my toy back to the floor and help me gather up my bags.

We walk out of my room to run into both Claude and Claudine standing in the living room. "Well, I'm off," I tell them with a smile. "Don't become strangers."

"Of course not," Claudine tells me as she pulls me into a tight hug. "I love you," she whispers as I smile against her dark hair.

"Love you, too," I tell her as I pull away to smile at her.

"If you two get bored with Sookie here, don't hesitate to give me a call," Claude tells Eric and Godric with a wink as I roll my eyes and give the guys a sympathetic smile.

"Shut up," I tell him as I pull my annoying cousin into a hug. "You behave yourself," I tell him with a raised brow.

"And you better not," he tells me as he looks Eric and Godric up and down appreciatively. I shake my head as I walk to the front door, waving back at my cousins.

Godric and I pack Sookie's belongings into my trunk and the three of us climb into my car, with Sookie curling herself upon Godric's lap yet again. I grin over at the two of them as we make our way into the night and back to my home.

"We have a guest room that's set up for company," I tell Sookie as she nods to me.

"Thank you," she tells me as she yawns widely. I look back to the road and before long, I glance over to see Sookie sleeping soundly against my Maker as he rubs her back gently.

"You must make for a comfortable resting place," I tell him with a smirk as he grins over at me.

"I'm just glad to see her becoming so comfortable with us," he tells me softly as I nod my agreement. "I thought it would be much more difficult to earn her acceptance of these new living arrangements."

"So did I," I concede. "But I still want to be sure she's guarded at all times. I'll call Thalia to stand guard over the house at night, and I have a werewolf in my debt that I will call to watch over her during the daylight hours."

"This is acceptable, my child," he says softly as he runs his fingers through Sookie's golden mane. "I wish only for her safety."

"Have you informed her of your affections, Godric?" I ask him softly as he smiles at me.

"I have," he tells me with a mischievous grin. "I have informed her of your own attractions to her as well, my child," he informs me as my brows rise in surprise.

"And how did she take this information?" I ask as he shrugs to me.

"I believe she will be amendable to this arrangement," he tells me as I raise a brow at him. "I told you we should not make assumptions of our fair vampire hunter, Eric. She is full of surprises, you've been witness to this yourself," he explains as I have to nod my agreement. She certainly has managed to surprise me numerous times in the short time I have known her.

We pull up to my house and Godric holds Sookie in his arms as I gather her bags from the trunk of the car. We approach the front door to have Pam swing open the door before us. She looks to Sookie's sleeping form in Godric's arms with a knowing smirk.

"Hm, a sleepover, how fun," she coos teasingly as we enter the house.

"Behave yourself, Pam," I tell her as Godric walks past us with Sookie. "Sookie is going to be staying with us for a time. She's in danger from a powerful vampire and I ask that you aide us in keeping her safe," I explain as she raises a brow at me.

"A vampire hunter seeking refuge with vampires, how ironic," she purrs as I glare down at her. "Oh, fine, I'll help keep the little faerie safe," she concedes, crossing her arms over her chest with a pout.

"Don't forget, that particular fae helped you when you were in danger," I remind her as she rolls her eyes. "It would mean a lot to both me and Godric if you would attempt to at least be civil to Sookie."

"You're right," she says with a sigh. "If it means this much to both you and my grandsire, I promise to try," she tells me as I pull her into a hug, placing a kiss to the crown of her head.

"That's my girl," I tell her as she grins up at me. "I'll be having Thalia stand guard over the house for a time as well," I inform her as she nods to me. "Goodnight, my child," I tell her as she places a kiss to my cheek.

"Goodnight, Eric," she tells me as she makes her way to her room. I really hope she tries to get along with Sookie, a fight between the two of them would certainly cause serious damage to both of them. I shake off those thoughts as I make my way to my daychambers. I enter the bedroom to see Godric and Sookie curled up in my bed as he gives me a soft smile.

"You really think she'll be okay with waking up between our lifeless bodies?" I ask him as I begin stripping off my clothing.

"I will feel better knowing she is near," he explains as I crawl under the covers with them.

"If she's pissed, I'm telling her this was all your idea," I tell him with a smirk as he grins at me.

"That is fine," he tells me as he leans over her sleeping form to press his lips against my own, giving me a soft kiss. "Goodnight, my child."

"Goodnight, Godric," I tell him with a warm smile as I reach up to grab my phone, texting the werewolf within my debt to be at the house in the morning. I also text my dayman, requesting he bring food to the house for our blonde boarder. I place the phone back upon my nightstand as I roll over to see Godric holding Sookie's sleeping form within his embrace.

I grin as I spoon her curvaceous, sleeping form, slinging my arm over her and resting my hand upon my Maker's waist. I could certainly get used to dying for the day just like this. I just hope Sookie is amendable to this arrangement. With that thought, I close my eyes and let the darkness take me to my day slumber.
