As promised! :)
I'm going to be skipping around a lot in the next few chapters, just a warning. Just until we finally get to the big day! Or maybe I'll do some kind of devious thing to Sookie… I don't know I'm thinking about it.
Also I replaced the last chapter if you hadn't noticed.
Disclaimer: I do not own the True Blood/SVM characters. I'm just making Sookie crazy. :P
Sookie POV - *1 Month Later*
"No"
"Why not?"
"Because it's ridiculous!"
"But Sookie-"
"I said no!" I exclaimed.
"Aw, come one, I think you riding a horse down the aisle would look amazing. It's your wedding! It has to be perfect!" Claudine said, trying to convince me.
"I don't even want to stupid wedding to happen! Why would I make a big deal about it?"
"Because you're a princess and Eric is a prince, it's a big deal!"
For the last hour Claudine had been trying to convince me to ride a horse down the aisle. Ridiculous, right? About a month and a half ago, she told me that the wedding date was set for two months' time. So we had to start making wedding arrangements. She will be doing most of the planning but I had final say on everything. Even though Eric and I were royalty and when royalty marry it's supposed to be a very extravagant event, neither of us even want the marriage in the first place, so there is no point in making that much of a big deal. We have been writing to each other, though. About two times a week I would get a letter from him and vice versa. He has become less of an ass, though not that much less, we've become great friends. In fact, I find myself looking forward to his letters.
"I am well aware of what we are, Claudine." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Don't you roll your eyes at me," she said, playfully. "Fine, no horse riding."
"Good, now how about lunch? I'm starving!" I asked clutching my stomach in mock agony.
"Ok let's get Melany to bring us some." she said.
"We can get our own food perfectly fine." I said, scoldingly.
"But we are busy and you know more than I do that if we even go near the kitchen we have to deal with the wrath of the chef." she replied, giggling.
I laughed and summoned Melany.
"Yes, Princess?"
I winced at the title, I always hated it. We gave her our food choices and sent her off.
Claudine studied my face, after Melany came back with our food. I looked up from my plate and said, "What?"
"Are you ready?"
"For?"
"'For?' For your wedding in three weeks! For you leaving in one, to spend two weeks in their kingdom! That's what for!" she exclaimed.
I thought about and shrugged, "It's just all happening so fast."
"Sookie."
"I know, I know, I'm still going through with it without a fight but still, I thought I had more time." I frowned staring out into the garden we resided in. "Will I ever be able to see sunlight, after we get married? Will I be allowed too?"
"Of course you will! Sookie you are fae, you thrive on sunlight! Without it, you'll be nothing, and they know that, plus even though the vampires will be asleep the Shifters and Weres will be awake. They won't lock you inside forever, they can't." She said before sighing.
I finished eating and got up, "Can we finish this later?"
She studied my face and said "Yes."
I nodded and left. When I got to my room I saw a letter on my dresser, it was Eric obviously.
My Dear Sookie,
I feel that this may be the last letter I will send to you until we meet face to face once again. Since I am very busy at the moment and since I will see you soon this letter will be short. I have enjoyed talking to you these past weeks and I am grateful that my father pushed me to do it. The preparations for your arrival are being finalized and that is why I'm am busy. I hope you don't mind that your room is across that hall from mine. I must warn you, Pam is going a bit overboard with designing it, and she refuses to let me see it until you get here. I told her that she shouldn't do too much to it, just so that you can personalize it yourself. Also, I don't think she ever thought of you wanting to room with me ;).
-Eric
P.S. Pam would like to know what your favorite color is.
I chuckled. It was so typical of Eric to make some kind of innuendo, I'm surprised it wasn't more straight-forward. After I had written my response, I looked at the clock and it was already time for dinner. I got up and headed to the dining room. Grandfather demanded that we try to have as much family dinners as possible. More so, now that I'm leaving. That dinner consisted of Grandfather, Claude, Claudine, Jason, and me. Anyone else who wanted to join was welcome too but we had to know ahead of time.
"Oh, Sookie, there you are, we were getting worried." My grandfather teased.
"Sorry, I was finishing up something." I said back, kissing him on the cheek and taking my seat next to him.
"Oooooh, was it another letter to Eric?" Claude asked.
"Claudine!" I glared at her, she smirked and just shrugged. She is the only one I told about that.
"Did I just hear right? Sookie have you been exchanging letters with Eric?" Grandfather asked with surprise.
"The past couple weeks Eric and I have written to each other, yes. Just so we can get to know each other more."
"That is very mature of you, Sookie." He said, smiling.
"How well did you two get along to bring this on?" Claude asked while laughing.
"Claude! I'll have you know that Eric and I have become great friends, we are trying to make the best out of this situation."
"You know, defending yourself like this makes it worse." Claudine said to me. She was right, the more defensive you get with him, the worse he gets.
My face turned red and I covered my face with my hands, my food completely forgotten.
I straightened out and said, "It's not a big deal. Now, can I please eat my meal without being pestered?"
They all chuckled and snickered but changed the subject all the same.
"I have been meaning to ask you Sook, when are you leaving?" Jason asked me.
"In a few days, why?"
"So when is our last training session together?"
"Probably tomorrow or the day after. Why?"
"I just want to know how many time I'm gonna have to beat you before you leave, that's all."
I snickered but didn't reply.
