We walked into Fangtasia through the back door and headed into Eric's office. He sat down behind the desk and I stood by the door, unsure if I should sit down or go out to the bar. I stood there awkwardly for a few moments until Eric looked up with a questioning look.

"Sookie, you can come in. You do not have to stand there," he said to me. I let out a sigh and walked in, sitting at one of the chairs in front of his desk.

"I wasn't sure if you were busy or wanted to be alone," I told him as he sorted through some of the papers on his desk.

"No, you can stay in here if you want to, but to be honest, I will not be much fun. I have to get some of this paper work done before the meeting," he said, while typing something into his computer without looking up.

"Oh, well I can just sit out in the bar until the meeting," I told him, getting up. I went to grab my bag, but I noticed that I didn't have it with me. I walked around his desk and kissed him on his cheek before leaving. "See you in a bit!"

He smiled at me and then started working again as I walked out of his office. I went out the back door to his car. I opened the door and noticed that my purse had fallen behind Eric's seat. Instead of going around to the other side of the car, I climbed onto the passenger's seat and reached for it, but it was just out of reach. I gave myself a mental pat on the back for not wearing a skirt like I had wanted to, and leaned further in, my bottom in the air.

"What a lovely view," I heard a voice say from behind me. I quickly moved out of the position I had been in, forgetting my bag for the moment. I got out of the car and a vampire who I had not met before was standing there, his fangs down.

"Um, well, excuse me," I said, as I tried to walk past him towards the back door of the bar, but he reached out and grabbed my arm.

"Just where do you think you are going?" he asked me, pulling me closer to him.

"Oh, well I just was going to go back inside, so would you kindly let go of me? I would much appreciate it." I tried to pull my arm back and walk away again but his grip only tightened.

"Oh, no, Miss. I think first, I would like to have a snack and, then, well to be quite frank, a fuck." I started to panic and I screamed for him to let me go.

"LET ME GO! HELP! PLEASE! SOMEONE HELP ME!" I screamed into the empty parking lot.

The vampire that held me started laughing.

"Struggle all you want but that's not going to change what I have planned for you," he said into my ear, pushing my hair away from my neck.

"PLEASE NO!" I shouted. "ERIC! PLEASE HELP ME!"

"You're the King's human?" he asked me, fear clouding his face. He dropped me and started slowly backing away. I fell against the corvette and hit my stomach against the hood of the car. What the fuck? Why do I keep getting injured and in the same ways!

"OHH! AWW NOO! ERIC!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I lay there on the ground in agony, praying that my baby was ok. I held my stomach, continuing to scream when I felt wetness trickle down between my legs. I looked down and saw that my pants were soaked, and when I reached down to touch the wetness, my hand came back bloody. The back door suddenly opened up and Eric came rushing out.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" Eric yelled looking around for me. When he finally saw me on the ground with blood everywhere, he looked murderous. "SOOKIE!"

He rushed over to me and a group of vampires, who I didn't recognize came around from the front of the building.

"PAM! TAKE HER INSIDE AND CALL DR. LUDWIG!" I hadn't noticed Pam was in the group of vampires until she came over to me and lifted me up.

"AWW! NOO! OH! MAKE IT STOP! PLEASE! IT HURTS! OH PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!" I shouted while Pam quickly walked back inside. Eric followed us, holding the vampire who had attempted to attack me. He shoved him down the steps of the basement.

"You're going to be just fine, Sookie," Pam said. I noticed that her eyes were rimmed with red and a few bloody tears had fallen.

Pam laid me down on the couch and quickly got her phone out and called the doctor.

"Pam! Go and chain the prisoner!" Eric shouted at Pam as he tore the phone from her hand. She vamped out of the room while Eric paced around his office waiting for Dr. Ludwig to answer.

"GET TO FANGTASIA! NOW!" he shouted into the phone. "Sookie has been attacked."

Eric looked over at me and saw that I was still crying and clutching my stomach. He vamped over to me and kneeled beside the couch, biting into his wrist and pushing it toward my mouth. I latched on and took long pulls. I felt the pain start to fade and moved to sit up, wanting to go and clean up in the bathroom.

"Sookie, you should lie down until Dr. Ludwig gets here," Eric told me in a soft voice. He looked incredibly worried.

"I just want to get out of these pants," I told him, and a look of anguish came over his face.

"I am sure there is something in the gift shop that you could wear. I will go and get it," he said as got up to leave, but I never heard him leave because a wave of deep exhaustion came over me.

Eric's POV

I left my office with Sookie lying on my couch, bleeding. I turned to look back, right before I shut the door, and saw that my beautiful bonded had already fallen asleep.

I turned into the hallway ripped open the door of the basement and ran down the steps. I saw the vampire hanging from the ceiling by silver chains. I ran over to him and punched him in the face, breaking his nose in the process.

"I will deal with you later," I told him, and left him there.

I ran back upstairs and into the bathroom where I washed my hands of the prisoner's blood. I sat down on the bench that was in there and let the tears fall. I could not believe that this was happening. I had no idea if the baby and Sookie were okay, and it was all because some vampire thought Sookie smelled good.

I stood up and walked over to the sink and washed the bloody tears off my face. I looked into the mirror and my anger overtook me. I punched the mirror, roaring at the top of my lungs, and glass flew everywhere. I would have Ginger clean this up later. Right now Sookie needed me.

I went into the bar and headed over to the gift shop. I grabbed a pair of black yoga pants and a pair of panties and went back into my office. I saw that Dr. Ludwig had already gotten there.

"There you are, Mr. Northman. Miss. Stackhouse was just telling me that you had gone to get her some clothing and I see that you have..."

"What of the baby?" I asked, interrupting her, not caring about being rude. I needed to know.

"The baby and Miss. Stackhouse are both fine. I am not completely sure what caused the bleeding but I think that it may be from being in a stressful situation. Now, Miss. Stackhouse said that when she fell, she hit her stomach against the hood of your car. But I checked everything out and the baby and her are both fine. She said that you already gave her your blood. There really is nothing wrong, so there is nothing I can do. I would suggest eating a meal high in iron and taking some iron supplements. Do either of you have any questions?"

"They are fine? The baby and Sookie are fine?" I ran over to Sookie, relief filling me up. I pulled her to me and hugged her tightly.

"Uh, Eric, can't breath," Sookie said, her voice muffled against my chest.

"Sorry, my sweet, I am just so relieved. You have no idea how much that baby means to me. I could not bare it if I lost either of you," I said, while pulling back from her. "Thank you for your time, Dr. Ludwig. I thought the worst when I saw all of the blood."

"You were right to call me. Never hesitate. Well, goodnight you two. And try to stay out of trouble," Dr. Ludwig said, as she turned and left the office.

I looked back to Sookie and saw that she was moving to get up off the couch. She took the clothing from me and went to leave my office.

"Sookie, I have a private bathroom in here. You can clean up in there," I told her, indicating where the bathroom was. "When you are done, we will go out and get this damn meeting over with."

"Eric? What's going to happen to that guy? Cause he really didn't hurt me. I mean, sure he grabbed me and tried to bite me, but he didn't actually hurt me," she said, standing in the bathroom with the door open, removing her pants.

I got up and raced over to her, grabbing her pants.

"This is what he did! If he had not touched you, he never would have pushed you and you would not have bled," I said, in a stern voice. I dropped the pants into the sink and then pushed up her sleeves, revealing the already fading bruises. "And this! Do not tell me he did not hurt you. He will pay, Sookie. He will be sentenced to the True Death. I will stake him tonight during the meeting for the disrespect and hurt he has caused me and my family."

"Eric, calm down. Please, your emotions are too much," she told me, taking a step away. I dropped her arm and also took a step back.

"Sookie, I am sorry that I have upset you. But what that bastard did tonight was a great offense toward me and mine."

"I get it, Eric. I just hate death, even if the person dying has hurt me." She began to take off her ruined panties and placed them on top of her pants in the sink. "Can you give me a few minutes?"

"Of course," I said, leaving the bathroom, and shutting the door.

I noticed that my couch had some of Sookie's blood on it and I quickly, at vamp speed, cleaned it up.

Sookie came out of the bathroom just as I was tying up the bag of dirty, bloody, paper towels.

"All done," she said, with a small, sad, smile. I crossed the room and took her into my arms.

"Everything will be fine, Sookie. I will make sure of it." I kissed the top of her head and pulled away.

"Let us get this meeting over with and then we can go grocery shopping."

I left my office and headed into the main bar area, with Sookie following behind me. She grabbed my hand and that is the way we entered into my, for lack of a better word, coronation.
