SPOV

I woke up an hour later curled into Eric's side, I could smell pizza of some sort and my stomach growled loudly, beside me Eric chuckled. I smiled and looked up at him, he smiled back, handed me his shirt and pulled on his boxers.

"Come on lover." He extended his hand to me, I slipped the shirt on took his hand, and we walked down stairs. Everyone was in the living room eating pizza, well those who could eat were anyway.

"Gave up on the cooking?"

"We got distracted by some noise up stairs." Raven shrugged, I was sure my face was red, "Anyways, pizza's in the kitchen Sookie, blood for you Eric." Eric tugged on my arm and I trotted behind him into the kitchen.

I munched on the pizza, pepperoni yum, while he forced himself to drink the true blood, "Eric, you can always.." I drifted off, tilting my head to the side.

"You need your strength." He replied, "I can live with this for now." And that basically ended that conversation.

"Where were you last night?"

"I tracked some of those guys to there little cabin thing." He rose his voice so everyone else could here, "They're planning to come back tomorrow during the day." His voice got low, "anybody gets her your all dead."

My skin crawled at the venom in his voice, "Eric, I'll be fine."

"We'll keep her safe." Raven replied, locking eyes with Eric, "Don't be such a big baby."

I thought Eric might attack her, but he didn't, much to my relief. He sighed and finished his blood. I finished my pizza and we went back upstairs. We both got dressed and went back down stairs, I watched as Eric and Raven planned, I decided not to investigate what, and played Andréa's hair.

"Sookie can you come with me?" Crystal asked from the door.

I nodded and walked over to her and out the door. She led me into the woods and we sat down at the base of a huge tree. She didn't speak and neither did I.

"If something happens, you need to be prepared to take someone out."

"I-."

"It's for you life, but it's only if we're all taken out already. Don't let them take you."

"I wont." I replied, "I'll fight for my life."

"They don't want you dead."

"They wont take me alive." I replied, my stomach knotting, "I saw what they want me for.."

"What is that?"

"They- They want to test me, find out how I work, and see if I can help them lure out fang bangers, and if I don't corporate, they'll kill me." I replied, my voice low.

"They want to use you, to kill people?"

"Y-yes. And find shifters, and everything else." Crystal went still next to me, I could sense anger from her mind.

"They won't take you. You won't have to go through this." Crystal said, "That's horrible."

I sighed and leaned back against the tree, "So, out of curiosity, have all of you slept with Eric?"

"How do you know any of us have?"

"I can read some of your minds…I don't know why."

"Pam has, Clarice has, I haven't, Raven hates men, Maria hasn't, nobody else I can think of has, Besides you."

"Well that's comforting."

"Liar." Raven intoned, slouching down next to Crystal.

"You've slept with him?" I asked Crystal.

"No, about me, I don't hate men. Analize and I..erm it was a long time ago." Raven said waving her hand, "but I won't let Crystal lie to you, though I doubt she knew."

"But I thought amazons hated men?" I replied.

"They do, but once you're as old as I am, it kinda just goes away." Raven replied, "are you feeling okay?"

"I'll live." I hope.

"Come on, lets get inside. Eric wants to say good night." Raven grinned, implying what I'm pretty sure she was implying. But she was right.
