Chapter 14 – Truth

''You are mine.''

***

Sookie's lashes lifted slowly, languorously. Her breathing was ragged. Her chest rose and fell jerkily. ''Eric. We can't.'' Then her hands lifted and she buried them in his hair. She tightened her hold, silently urging his mouth from her neck.

Eric's eyes widened in lusted shock, for he desperately wanted to claim her. He wanted to take more of her blood...and her. With an effort, he forced himself to step back, to release Sookie from his hold.

His hands clenched and frustration flashed across his aroused features. ''I can need, Sookie, I can want, just like any man.''

''But you're not a man,'' she blurted. ''You're a Vampire.''

''Yet I have a man's needs.'' His yes drifted slowly down her, lingering on the rounded curves of her breasts and hips. ''I want you.''

Heat pooled between her thighs. Her breath hitched. She wanted him. But she couldn't...Alcide.

***

When Sookie arrived home wearing Fangtasia t-shirt since Eric had practically tore her shirt into pieces in his madden covetousness rage. She was exhausted both mentally and physically. What a night! Her feelings were confusing. Her body was sending her mixed signals, one minute she hated Eric and the next she just wanted to screw him. Thank God I didn't! If she did she could never forgive herself since she was in a relationship and what Bill did was unforgiveable. She would never betrayal Alcide.

Alcide was leaning against his truck, waiting for her. ''Hey Sookie'' he looked tired and pale.

''Oh my god, Alcide! What had happened to you?'' Sookie exclaimed when she saw the state of him. His gorgeous face was bruised and there was blood on his shirt.

''It's nothing to worry about.'' He tried to smile but flinched instead.

She stood closer and soothingly ran her hand across his face. ''Tell me,'' she begged, ''I know you're keeping something from me.''

''Sookie, you smell different.'' His nose flared and he picked a lock of hair on her shoulder and sniffed it, the scent filled him. He knew the scent too well and his face immediately stiffened. ''You smell of that Blood Sucker!''

She rolled her eyes. How many times have I heard that ready? ''I work in a vampire bar, what did you expect?'' she lied, she didn't want to but knew she had to.

Alcide eyes softened but then he saw...those hideous puncture marks on her neck. She lied and she was caught.

''It's not what you think!'' she followed after him, needing to explain herself.

He face was a haggard mask. He snarled, turning on her like a cornered animal. ''I thought you were different. That was obviously stupid of me. You're nothing more than – '' he stopped dead in his track, seeing the pained look in her eyes.

Sookie froze. ''Say it.'' Her eyes flashed with pain and fire.

''Fangbanger,'' he whispered bitterly. It was loud enough for them to hear. Suddenly he was beginning to doubt his word. Was he wrong?

''Is that what you truly think of me, Alcide?'' Her words trembled faintly. ''A fangbanger?''

''Do you deny it?'' He glared at her with fury.

''I do.'' She swallowed the lump in her throat and told him everything; about Jason, hers and Eric's deal, their blood exchange and what had occurred in Eric's office. Nothing was left out.

He was speechless, astonished at her revelations. He swore viciously and closed his eyes. ''I'm sorry Sookie.''

''And I'm sorry too.'' She rubbed her throbbing temple with a tired hand. She felt light headed and no surprise since Eric nearly drained her.

''I really mean it,'' he lifted up her chin, ''I'm so sorry. It was cruel and insensitive of me to even think about you in that way.''

Sookie smiled lightly, ''I forgive you. I understand how this might have looked.'' She showed him the punctured marks again.

''Bastard,'' he cursed, tightening his hands into fists.

''I couldn't agree more but he did help my brother and that, I am grateful for.''

''He did this to me,'' Alcide's lips twisted in distaste. Sookie's eyes widen in shock and understanding dawned on her. She was livid with Eric.

He continued, ''Oh and the reason that Debbie destroyed your car, well, I think you should ask him.''

***

That night Sookie was restless, she was truly confused and enlightened at the same time. What Alcidehadtold her was surprising but somehow she was not totally shocked since she was well aware of Eric's capabilities and manipulative strikes, hell if something went strange in her life she would've expected to be his doing. However Sookie was extremely livid with him. And I can't believe I nearly had sex with him tonight! She groaned in frustration.

Sookie picked up the phone and dialled the number. She was going to leave him an enraged message.

"Fangtasia, a bar with a bite! Unfortunately the bar is closed. Press 1 for management, 2 for customer services and 3 to leave a prank call but remember we will found you. Please leave a message after the tone," an automatic voice spoke.

Sookie pressed one and her anger burst forth. ''Northman, how dare you hire some lunatic shifter to destroy my car? You're so unbelievable, manipulative and cruel. Oh yeah and what you did to Alcide was disgusting! You disgust me!''

''Maybe I'll grow on you,'' his amused voice answered. Eric was there.

''What like a tumour?''

''Do not be ridiculous, lover.''

''I'm not but you are! You're a one ridiculous specimen of a vampire and man!''

''Are you insulting me?''

''Yes and what's more, you don't care about anyone since you're so up your own ass!''

Eric chuckled throaty, ''Um, maybe we should discuss this in person.''

''No! No! I wouldn't let you in.''

''Why are you afraid of me?'' his voice purred dangerously.

Sookie laughed, ''Your head is way too big for that ego of yours.''

''It's not the only thing that's big.'' he added seductively.

She shook her head to clear away the image and asked, ''Why did you destroy my car?''

''Your car was too old.''

''What, so you took the liberty of wrecking my car because it was old?''

''Yes. I thought it would be safer for you, after all car accidents are quite common.''

Sookie snorted in disbelief, ''Great just great. Thanks a lot for your concern and what do you have to say about Alcide?''

''Has that dog been howling to you?'' Eric asked with amusement laced of repugnance. He might have to teach the Were when to keep his mouth firmly shut.

''Answer my question,'' she command with determination.

''Another time, lover, the sun will rise soon and I must go.''

''You better!'' she threatened and switched the phone off.

***

After his phone conversation with Sookie, he immediately rang Debbie. He wanted to know what she plans were and if she choose to ignore his command regarding Sookie's welfare then she will pay, he didn't mind if she inflict pain or torture on that dog but if that shifter's hands touched Sookie then she'll regret that she was ever born. He'll make sure of it.

''It's 5am you bloodsucker!'' She growled in irritation.

He smirked darkly and replied in a stern voice, ''If you called me that again, I will rip your throat out and feed it to your pack.''

There was silence on the end of the line and Eric rolled his eyes in disguested annoyance.

Eventually she answered, ''What else do you want me to do?''

''Heard of the word 'creative','' he said tauntingly and added, ''use it.''

Debbie glared at the phone in hatred and with great hostility. ''I will'' she said through gritted teeth. She wanted to stake the bloodsucker and to see his body shrink into a mass pool of blood at her feet. Her eyes sprinkled at the thought.

''Remember, if you touch Sookie, you will regret it...instantly.'' he threatened viciously.

''I know,'' she murmured darkly, a strange excitement in her spiteful voice as her eyes glimmered with revenge. She switched off the phone and got out of bed. Lets meet this dirty little bitch. She thought satanically.

***

Bang. Bang. Bang.

''What the hell?'' Sookie woke, startled. The noise came from outside her house, just then she heard her living room window get smashed. It was near evening but the light was still bright so she knew this wasn't Eric. She cautiously got out of bed and ducked underneath her bedroom window to look at the intruder.

Debbie Pelt.

And she's got a gun.

Sookie quickly grabbed her phone and rang Alcide but all she got was his answering machine. Fuck!

Hope you guys are not disappointed!!!

Eric didn't rape her, he would never do that ;)

Who's going to come and rescue Sookie?
