Sookie Pov
The week that followed my sending Eric a message, I was extremely jumpy and impatient. I had to wait for my next meeting with my Uncle D to minimize the possibility of being suspected that there is something going on. Felipe laughed at me when he saw and felt my anticipation. But being the smart King and worrying friend he is, he threatened to restrain me if I do not get a hold of myself. He then proceeded to beat me seven ways to Sunday in several poker games. He won, of course.
Damn him. I still think he cheated.
My lunch date cannot have come sooner. I really wish he replies.
When Uncle D's hulking form came to sight, I was practically trembling with apprehension and anticipation. When he approached me and without further much ado, he handed me a slightly bulky and heavy envelope. Taking the letter first, I read,
My Lover,
If I should speak in human and Angelic tongue,
but do not have Love,
Then I am a Resounding Gong or a Clashing Cymbal.
(1 Corinthians 13:1)
My Darling Wife, That was me living my life the centuries we were apart.
Without your love, I've been empty inside. I was a mere shell of the person you used to know.
Living without you this past 200 years was the greatest Inferno I could ever be in.
After my time in this prison with Freyda, I never hope to part with you ever again.
I love you.
Ps. Freyda is stupid but not an idiot. She might suspect something. BE CAREFUL.
P.S.S. I miss you.
P.S.S.S I love you very much
You have my hear Always and Forever.
Your Viking Eric.
With tears in my eyes, I reached inside the envelope.
In my hand, was a Platinum necklace. It was simple and elegant and hanging on the chain is an oval locket.
Opening it, I saw a our picture on one side and the inscription,
Forever
and
Always,
S and E.
Yes, My Viking, Forever and Always.
And Sooner than you think.
Some Key Points to Avoid Confusion in this Story.
1. Sookie and Felipe are not bonded. They do not simultaneously exchange blood But they do give each other blood to feel each other.
2. Since Sookie is a hybrid, the rules of Vamp Marriage does not apply to her. She and Felipe are married because it suits the alliance and their needs. The marriage can be ended when they call it off.
3. Sookie and Felipe cannot make their move to end Eric's marriage within that 200 years because:
a. to do so could mean all of their final death's since it was iron-clad and legal since it was sanctioned by Ocella and the Ancient Phytoness.
b. they are aiming to create such a big blow against Freyda who is hated by them both by hitting her where it really hurts. They needed the time to manipulate things to their favor without putting Eric to the final death.
c. if they make a move in the wrong time, it could create a bigger backlash and bigger war.
d. Sookie cannot make a big move since she is still new to what she really is. She is protecting everybody by honing her abilities first.
She also wants to be able to meet Freyda on even ground.
