" Eric! What the fuck are you doing! Oh! Fuck!" I screamed as he slammed his body down on top of mine onto the desk. Fingers desperately trying to unzip my outfit and finally just ripping it off of my skin.
" You are mine." Eric hissed as his fangs came out.
" What. . . in the world. . . has. . . gotten into you. . . today!" I moaned out as Eric moved his sharp teeth all the way down my body.
" You." He said with a smile as he bit into my thigh, teeth going right through the skin and going straight for the blood.
" Eric!" I screamed out in pure pleasure as my fingers wrapped around his thigh blond hair and my head flung back.
He moved his way from my thigh all of the way up to my neck, poking little holes into my body all of the way as he went up. All I could do was let my eyes roll back into the back of my head and moan as quietly as I could – which was not as quite as one would think. Eric took great pride in finally being able to show me all of the different ways that he knew to please a woman. He was truly amazing at doing it. Soon enough he has ripped off all of the rest of my clothing and left me bare and started in on his own. Eric would not allow me to do anything but sit back and take it all in. He wanted me to feel everything without having to lift and finger. Eric was the pure king of torture. But finally something happened inside of him- something that stopped him dead in his tracks and brought him out of his animal start – he saw my tattoo's. All of the other ones that I had collected like cards over the years.
All of them were the same ones that Godric had. Every single one that Godric had, I had somewhere on my body. All but one was in the same place. The only different one that I had was the one that Godric had on on his neck, I had it on both wrists. They are to protect one from whatever the world will bring to them. It's still to think that right after Godric died I tried to take my own life by cutting right over those tattoo's. Of course, it did not work. The one on my right are is written in Elder Futhark, an ancient runic language, it's a letter from Godric's mother to him, the last thing she ever told him before she died – her love to her child. That one now means a lot to me. I also got a smaller version of Godric's spinal tattoo, which is of a water monster back during his time that would come through the seas. The only one that Godric would not allow me to get was the one on his right shoulder blade because it was not truly a tattoo – it was branding that Godric's horrible maker burnt onto him when he was still a human.
Eric was taken aback by seeing these that I could see the hurt and anger that came from his eyes. He slowly backed away from my body, looking all around as he took out a pair of jeans that used to be one of the dancers from the bar out of one of his many draws and a Fangtasia shirt out from the storage room in his office and without saying another word – Eric walked out of the room. Leaving me completely naked, in his office, alone. What had just happened in those last few minutes? I could not wrap my head around what had happened. Slowly, I started to put on all of the clothes that Eric had left me and when I finally went out I noticed that it was nearly sunrise and the bar had been closed down. Pam was washing off tabled, Ginger the bar, and Tera was sweeping. But Eric was no where to be found.
" What in the hell did you do to him!" Pam said as she marched up to me.
" I didn't do jack shit to him so you can just settle the fuck down! All I did was go into his damn office because he wanted me to and he fucking charged me like a horny monster until he saw my tattoo's!" I hissed to the blond woman. " Now where the fuck did he go!"
" He's downstairs brooding and don't think for a second that you are going down there. He has commanded me to make sure that until it is sunrise to make sure that no one goes down there." Pam said getting back into her sassy tone as she went back to her tables.
" I didn't know that you have tattoo's. But then again I keep forgetting that you are older than me too." Tera said with a laughing tone to her. She took way to much amusement about my age compared to hers.
" I have five of them actually. All of Godric's tattoo's I have." I said as I picked up a rag and started to wash down one of the tables on the other side of the bar.
" Five! Shit girl! You do know that those ain't ever gonna come off, right? And who's Godric?" Tera asked, leaning on her broom.
" Godric is mine and Eric's maker. The love of my life. He was a good man." I said as I looked down, it still hurt a little too bad to speak about him to someone that had no clue who he was. " He met the sun a few years back and Eric and I could not stop him."
" Man . . ." Tera said as she looked down and started to sweep again.
" Yeah, that's how I feel too." I whispered as I blood tear fell from my eyes. That was the moment that my phone started to go off from back in Eric's office. I looked around to see that all but Pam were starring at me and I smiled and excused myself back into his office where my phone was blaring.
" Hello?" I asked to the estrange number that was on my phone.
" Hello, is this Sygin, Sygin Crane?" The male voice on the other end asked.
" Well I guess that you could call me that, but I prefer just Sygin, and who is this that I am talking to?" I asked, looking out the door before shutting it, Tera was watching and listening intently.
" Oh I am so sorry, forgive my rudeness, this is Tyler, we met last night." I was already taken back, was this guy already calling me?
" Oh hi Tyler! I didn't expect to be hearing from you so soon, is everything okay?" I asked, sounding a little too concerned.
" Oh! Yes! Yes, everything is fine. I just wanted to call you and see how everything was for you. I know that you may be very busy during most of the night so I thought that I would wait for before morning to call you. I hope that is okay and that I did not catch you at a bad time." Tyler said, I could almost hear his heart beating through the phone and could feel myself blushing.
" That's so sweet of you Tyler, I mean you can call any time of the night or day really, I usually don't sleep too often anymore, and I would love to talk to you! Everything is just fine on this side of the phone line, how is everything in that crazy bar that my dad has you working in?" I asked with a smile as I sat down on Eric's desk, desperate to know what my brother was thinking about.
" The bar is amazing, I mean we have had so many people coming in and out and it's just been a blast lately. There's always something new. But anyway, I did not just call to tell you about the bar, would you like to meet for lunch today? We could possibly just go see a movie after if you wanted?" I could hear how much was hanging on this moment, like he would never be the same if I said the wrong thing. I mean, how in the world could I say no?
" Tyler, I would love to go out with you today, but could it possibly be a little later. . . I still have some things to resolve here at the bar that I live in. Let's say an early dinner?" I asked, trying to make sure that he knew that I wanted to go with him.
" That's great! Well I guess that I will see you then!" Tyler said and all I could do was smile.
" I'll see you then, Night. . . well morning Tyler." I said and we both laughed as we hung up the phone.
I was taken back by how nice this guy way and how. . . so excited that he was about seeing me again, so soon at that! All I could do was smile as I looked around to find that I was not alone in Eric's office anymore. Standing at the doorway was Tera, who did not look like she was very happy to be overhearing everything that was going on. I looked down at my shoes and then back up at her and all I could do was smile the brightest smile that I could at her and even that did not work. . . that usually worked on everyone, I guess like maker like progeny.
" Well you see awfully happy for someone who just broke her own brother's heart." Tera hissed as she shut the door behind her.
" Broke my brothers. . . what are you talking about?" I asked as I sat down in Eric's chair.
" You really don't see it do you? The way that he looks at you, the way that he treats you like you are fucking gold, he is in such love with you that it is impossible to miss and yet you seem to so easily. You are killing him by going out and seeing this other guy! You use the excuse that you are Godric's but he is dead. I really don't think that he would mind it if you moved on, specially with someone that he knows and trusts like Eric. You are killing him inside and I think that you should give him a chance before anyone else. I mean think about it, he has been there for you through pretty much everything. And where has this guy been – where has your dad been? They have never been there while he has. Think on it." Tera said as she walked out before I could even get in another word.
" Stupri infantem-lamia!" I said under my breath as I walked out and back into the bar to see that the only vampire that was still upstairs was Eric, sitting at his thrown and looking like he was in the middle on one of his deep thoughts.
" You know, your eyes always look so amazing when you get into one of those trances." I smiled as I sat in his lap and pushed what little hair he had away from his face.
" Thanks." Eric muttered.
" Sorry for everything that I said earlier. . . it was just that . . . well I mean. . . I guess that I was not expecting it from you is all I am trying to say. I mean it kind of felt like it was coming on so soon and all because of Tyler – which I really hope is not the case because if it is I am walking out that door and there is no way that you will be able to stop me -" Eric chuckled at that. " - What I am trying to say is that I what you to know that you will always have a place in my heart and I think that is time for me to move on. And I think that it would be nice to move on with someone like you." I smiled at him as his face quickly changed and his face was smashed into mine, lips locked instantly.
Eric wrapped his hands tightly around my hair and soon enough I was the one that was sitting in the chair and Eric was ripping off clothes as fast as he could. Biting and nipping as he went along from the top of my body all the way down to my thigh and back up, leaving little trails of blood as he went. It took all of the strength that I had not to rip all of his clothes off and just fuck him right then that there because – unlike Eric – I had never been a patient person and he knew this. This was just a game for him. Fangs came out, bodies close to one another, and finally, finally, right on Eric's thrown we became one for real this time. The look on Eric's face said it all for me. He needed me now more than ever before to be more than a sister to him, more than the girl that he would run to when all else failed, he needed me.
But, like all things, it had to come to an end and it did with Pam making a disgusted noise and her heel's making herself known. It was time for Eric to go downstairs because it was dawn- the last time that he would be able to come upstairs till dusk. But all Eric did was smile while he wrapped his arms around mine and brought me downstairs and nearly threw me into his coffin. All I could do was laugh and smile as he crawled in on top of me.
" It will be a little snug in here, but hell, it's not like we really need the comfort part." Eric said with an evil sort of smile as he wrapped his arms around my whole frame and brought me in close.
" Don't be shocked when you don't find me here when you wake up. I told Sookie that I would come and see her n the afternoon." I lied through my teeth.
" Well don't be out too long, we are not finished here." Eric said with a smile as he kissed my neck, sending chills though my frame. It felt amazing to have him there, protecting me from whatever could happen during the day. I knew somewhere deep down inside that it was right to have him there.
" Night, brother." I whispered as I started to drift off.
" Goodnight, my sister." Eric whispered right into my ear as he kissed it ever so lightly.
When I woke my phone was going off and Eric was dead to the world. It took a little rearranging, but finally I shoved him back into the bottom of the coffin and found my pants upstairs on the bar, on the other side of the room. I looked outside and knew that I was fucked; it was already dark outside. I was supposed to meet up with Tyler. Shit I was doomed.
" Hi Tyler! I am soooo sorry! I will be there just as soon as I can. I just fell asleep for once and-"
" Well hello there beautiful, I knew that you would be the one to pick up the phone. Now, tell me, is your dear brother in the room with you?" Another man said in a deep southern accent.
" Who is this and where the fuck is Tyler?" I hissed, my fangs already out as I looked down towards the stairs.
" Oh dear, you do not remember me? What a shame, we have had such a record together, schöne." He said in his German accent and right at that moment I knew who he was and it sent a panic through my whole body. Russel Edgington.
" What do you want?" I asked lightly, trying to hold back all of my fear that was coming from every pore in my body.
" All my schöne, I want to see you of course. You see I have your little friend here and I thought that maybe we could have a bite to eat and talk things over. I mean the last time that we spoke we not really on very good terms and I thought. . . well maybe we could settle things out. Possibly bring that brother of yours over here and I won't kill your little fairy."
" Do not touch him! Russel I swear to god if you do anything to him I will-"
" Oh I wont, but if you do not do what I say, exactly as I say it, then I will rip him limb from limb. Do you understand me?" Russel asked and I could feel my body panicking as I heard footsteps coming from the stairs. They sounded like Eric's.
" I understand Russel, what do you want?" I asked as I felt my heart falling to the ground, tears coming from my eyes as I turned from the door so that Eric would not see them.
" Come alone, make sure that no one follows you, if I even smell another vampire then I will rip the boys head off right then and there. Make sure that you wear something good, you always seem to be wearing jeans and a shirt, maybe something a little more elegant." Russel was having too much fun with this, I was going to enjoy putting a sharp piece of wood through his heart.
" Where should I meet you." I asked as I tried to keep my composure as I felt Eric's strong hands wrap around my bare waist.
" That little cafe that is right at the edge of the Mississippi and Louisiana boarder. You know the one that I am talking about, after all, that is where we first met." I could almost hear him laughing and enjoying my suffering.
" I know the exact one that you are talking about. When?" I asked as Eric kissed my neck.
" Two hours from now. Don't be late, schöne." Then the line went dead.
" I have to go." I whispered.
