After getting in the lake and "saving" Sookie, Eric had put his shirt on her and brought her back inside the house. She threw up and promptly passed out shortly afterwards. He then carried her upstairs to the sunrise room because he still had no idea which bedroom she had picked out to stay in.

Eric grabbed some towels from the attached bathroom and wrapped them around Sookie to try to warm her up. He then put her in the bed, under the covers, and on her side in case she got sick again.

While he should have taken her wet clothes off, he did not know where her dry clothes were at and he also did not want to have her wake up and be upset with him for being "inappropriate" with her. This was the smarter way in this situation.

'The things I do for this girl.'

He went back to the bathroom and grabbed a towel for himself. After placing it in the seat of a nearby chair he sat on top of it.

'I will wait until sunrise to leave her in the room alone. Then, I will go to bed. Hopefully by then the chances of her getting sick again will be gone and she will be alright by herself. It is going to be a long night,' he thought as he leaned his head against the back of the chair.

"Good night, Sookie."

It was a very beautiful day outside. The sun was shining with out one cloud to be seen in the sky. The birds were chirping in the trees nearby, happily. It was a little past noon, so the sun was high up in the sky shining over everything.

Sookie was reading a book outside in the backyard of the house. She had found that, surprisingly, there was a patio set in the backyard, so she was sitting in a chaise lounge, reading her book there.

She did not think after her escapades last night she would want to be outside in the brightness or reading for that matter. Eric had placed a glass on the bedside table in the room with a "hangover remedy" in it however and surprisingly, not even a hour later, she felt great.

Sookie still did not know what she was thinking last night drinking all of that vodka she did. She only meant to have one drink to ease her nerves a little before Eric got back from the store. Next thing she knew, half of the bottle of vodka was gone and she was drunk as a skunk. How she wished now she had never started drinking in the first place or had a better tolerance for alcohol. The things that came out of her mouth last night!

Today had already been full of surprises. She woke up to find Eric asleep in one of the chairs in the bedroom. He had apparently been with her the whole night because he was shirtless and still wearing the same pair of pants from last night. Also, for her to wake up wearing her underwear and Eric's shirt was a shock to her as well.

Sookie could still not believe what she had said and done last night. Or what Eric had told her. She would have never thought he would have admitted a weakness to her like that. He really was trying to let her in.

'Maybe I should just stop fighting and let him in.'

Realizing she was spacing out she looked back down at the book she was trying to read. After finding the place she had stopped reading at she began to read again.

She had been reading again for only a few minutes, a page or two at the most, when she had this feeling someone was close by. Sookie looked up from her book and over her left shoulder to see one of Eric's guards standing very closely beside her.

'How did I miss him walking over to me?'

"You shouldn't be here, " he stated, looking down towards her.

"No, it's fine. Eric told me as long as I stayed on the grounds of the house, I could be outside all I wanted to be," Sookie replied with a smile.

"I didn't mean outside; I meant here," he said, touching her arm.

'Stupid bitch. All these fang bangers are the same. So fucking dumb.'

"OK, well, I am going to go inside now," Sookie stated, standing up from the chaise on the right side to walk towards the house.

"You are not going anywhere, you little bitch! Stay a while with me," he replied, quickly coming around the chaise and pushing Sookie downwards, toward the ground hard. " I am going to prove to you that you don't need a fucking vampire."

'This is going to be fun with this one.'

'Why is this happening to me?'

Sookie tried to scream out, as she also attempted to stand up again to get away. He placed his hand across her mouth, just as she screamed out, preventing any sound from coming, and pushed her back down on to the ground again. Sookie landed hard on her left side and felt something snap in her arm.

'She is a strong little fang banger. I am sure she has been given their disgusting blood to make her that way though.'

"No. This is between you and me; you little whore. Your damned vampire won't save you now. It is the middle of the day, in case you hadn't noticed," he said laughing as he used his free hand to rip her dress straight down the middle.

Sookie continued to try to fight him off, but he was completely on top of her and her top left side of her body felt useless to her. He quickly unzipped his pants and ripped off her panties in what seemed like one movement.

As he pushed inside her he said, "No wonder the vampires love fucking you so much. You are so damn tight."

'I don't think I have ever had a bitch this tight. I'm going to have lots of fun breaking this one. If her pussy is this tight, her ass has got to be like a vice.'

Sookie continued to try to fight him off as he was raping her but, all that accomplished was for her getting hurt more than she already was. Her chest hurt and her legs hurt. Everywhere was hurting.

Just as he was cumming inside of her, his hand slipped off her mouth, and she let out a blood curdling scream louder than she thought possible.

The next thing Sookie knew, the guard was gone and she was inside the house, on the sofa, next to a slightly burnt Eric who was staring down at her.

"Eric, are you ok?"

"I should be the one asking you that," he replied pulling a throw around her body.

"You got burnt," Sookie commented, still not really wanting to accept what had happened to her.

"I will heal. I am sorry I did not come sooner but I just now heard you, Sookie."

"It's not your fault. He had his hand over my mouth, so I couldn't scream. You didn't know what was going on."

"But I should have known and I would have if you had more of my blood in you and I had more of your blood in me. Also, it is my fault he was even here to begin with and you are my responsibility."

"Eric, I don't blame you for what happened to me."

"You should blame me though."

"No, because you couldn't have known what he was going to do. People are really good at hiding their true feelings from others. I didn't even know until he touched me how he was, and I can hear people's thoughts."

"I still blame myself, Sookie, for him being here to begin with."

"Please don't blame yourself, because I don't. I just want to get the feeling of him off of me. I need to go take a long, hot bath."

"Did you need me to help you with anything?"

"No, I should be fine."

"If you are sure."

"Yes, I am. You need time to heal your burns and deal with things anyway down here, I am sure."

"As you wish."

"Will you still be down here when I am done?"

"Yes. I will not go back to sleep today."

"Ok, well, I will be back down soon."

Sookie stood up very slowly and half walked, half hobbled towards the staircase. As she went to take the first step on the stairs, she winced in pain, and Eric was quickly right by her side.

"Sookie, are you alright?"

"It just hurts to move anything right now. My right ankle hurts and my left hip hurts. I hurt everywhere really. Maybe you could just help me up the stairs and then I will manage the rest of the way to my room?"

"Of course," Eric replied, starting to pick her up and stopping when she cringed in pain. "Sookie?" he questioned.

"Just do it quickly, Eric. I know it is going to hurt."

"I could heal you with my blood and you would not hurt anymore."

"No. I want to heal normally."

"Alright," Eric replied, picking her up gently and walking quickly up the stairs, trying very hard to ignore her wincing.

"Thank you," Sookie replied, as they made it to the top of the stairs and she was once again standing on her own two feet, if somewhat unsteadily.

"Are you sure you do not need me to help you the rest of the way to your bedroom?"

"I am sure, I think."

"Let me know if you change your mind."

"I will. Thank you, Eric. You saved me."
