AN: Thank you everyone for the nice comments, and as always thank you to my wonderful Beta!

Crazyevildru: I've been debating having a Sookie/Pam/Eric moment, but still not sure if it will fit. Though I have been planning to write one for that pairing. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Again sorry for the cliffy!

# # #Eric's POV# # #

I stared in shock for a moment. Sookie was in my arms and her shoulder had a hole in it. Someone shot my Sookie!

I felt my blood lust spike and I sat Sookie on the ground carefully before vamping into the house after the shooter. I slammed the bitch into the wall by her throat. It was a female Werewolf. I didn't recognize her, but I could smell Alcide Herveaux, another Were, and vampire blood on her. So, this was Debbie Pelt.

This was the Were-bitch that had worked for Russell Edgington and had tried to kill my Lover. Not once, but Twice. She struggled against my grip, clawing at me in desperation. She might have been cursing at me, but my blood lust blocked all noise coming from her. Without a second thought I crushed throat, broke her neck, and threw her to the side. I knew her death was to swift, but I needed to heal Sookie.

I vamped back over to her. She was holding her arm, her face contorted in pain. I examined the wound. The bullet was sill in her arm.

"Lover, I'm going to suck the bullet out, then I'll give you my blood to heal you, all right?"

She smiled weakly, "This situation seems vaguely familiar."

I smirked, "Looks like, I'll be returning the favor."

I removed my belt, and placed it in Sookie's mouth, instructing her to bite. I knew this was going to hurt. I sent my love, calm, and affection through the bond before moving my mouth to the wound. As I sucked, I could hear her cries of pain, my faerie's hand gripping onto my shoulder. It took a few moments to get the bullet out, luckily this one wasn't silver.

Once the wretched piece of metal was in my mouth I spit it out, then looked to my brave little faerie. She took that better then most humans would. I was so proud of her, and sent that feeling to her, while I lifted her and made my way inside.

I went straight to Sookie's room. I didn't want to chance going down the ladder to my room. Her head was resting on my lap while she suckled on my bleeding wrist. Before I'd broken the skin of my wrist I dripped a little blood directly onto her wound, and it was now healing.

With the danger gone I had a chance to think. Sookie was injured while she was with me. I had let my guard down, and my bonded was shot as a result of that. This was all my fault. I should have noticed that Were-bitch! Hell, I should have heard her heartbeat and smelled her long before we even approached the house.

'Don't.' Sookie spoke through our bond while she continued to suck, 'I can feel your guilt and self-loathing. This wasn't your fault, Eric.'

I pulled my wrist away, and Sookie sat up, there was still some blood on her shoulder, but the wound itself was completely gone.

"I should have sensed her. You could have died, and it would have been my fault."

The thought of my faerie dieing made me want to kill something, but those murderous thoughts melted away when Sookie touched my cheek, making me look at her.

"I'm fine, Eric. I didn't die because you were here to save me." She smiled and kissed me lovingly, "I'm alive because of you, so don't go getting all gloomy on me."

I smiled back. I didn't deserve such a beautiful creature, but there was no way in hell I was going to let her go. She. Is. Mine. Nothing and no one can take her from me. I combed my hand through her hair and brought her close, holding her to me, kissing the top of her head. I couldn't live without her. If she died, I would as well. Blood bond, or no. We remained in this position for awhile. I needed to have her close to me.

Yet another deja vu moment. I smirked as I sat on one of the tombstones, watching Eric dig a fresh grave. I offered to help, but my Viking husband went all cave-man on me. Something about not wanting me to over-exert myself.

"You know love, most humans would be disturbed by something like this.", he quipped.

"Well, it's a good thing I'm part Faerie then, huh?" I grinned playfully, earning myself a chuckle.

"The only thing I think would actually disturb me at this point in the game would be if Bill showed up dressed in drag."

This time Eric doubled over with laughter at the mental image. Wiping a bloody tear from his eye, "Well then I guess we would have to refer to him as 'Queen Bill' then, huh?" We both laughed.

When Eric deemed the hole deep enough, he kicked Debbie's body into the grave. Alcide is probably going to be upset. This is all my fault.

"Lover, if I am not allowed to feel guilt, then neither are you." He looked at me pointedly, "She deserved this, it was not your fault."

"You didn't hear her thoughts, Eric" I sighed, "She thought Alcide and I were having an affair. That's why she did this."

Before I could blink, Eric was in front of me, holding my face gently. "Then she was a fool. She obviously had a lot of issues. It was not your fault, Lover." He then bent down and kissed my forehead.

We continued to make small talk while Eric buried Debbie Pelt. The bitch was now officially gone. This night started out so nice... never a dull moment in the life of Sookie Stackhouse.

Looking up, I could see the moon and stars. It was such a clear night, that it was relaxing. When Eric was done filling in the grave, he sat down next to me on the tombstone. I rested my head on his shoulder, my eyes never leaving the sky.

"It's so nice out." I felt Eric nod in agreement, then his hand moving to my waist, then up to my breast, but I slapped his chest before he took in any further, "I am not having sex with you in a graveyard, Eric."

Eric chuckled, "Come on, Lover. I'm sure that," Eric looked down at the stone, then back at me, "Walter Williams wouldn't mind."

I laughed lightly and kissed my husband's lips, "No, now come on. We could both use a shower."

Eric grinned and picked me up, draping me over his shoulder, making me giggle. We made our way back to our home, shovel and all. Knowing him, I'm sure we were going to do a lot more then shower.

I watched as the happy couple made their way into the house. The expression Eric had on his face made me smile. I am glad he finally found happiness after all these years.

"So, I am not the only guardian angel those two have?", came a voice from behind me.

I turned to see another spirit like myself. She was an old woman and looked friendly. Her eyes held warmth. It took me a second, but then I smiled, recognizing her.

"So, my suspicions were correct. She is of his bloodline?" I asked.

The woman smiled, and came to stand next to me, "Yes. She does not know though. I fear Sookie will lose some respect for me when she finds out." Her smile turned into a sad one.

"She has a good spirit, your granddaughter. I will admit, I was almost tempted to stay when she was talking to me. She has a lot of you in her, Adele."

Adele's look turned stern, "Which reminds me, I am quite upset you just gave up like that. What happened to the fierce vampire who protected Corbett from that Were when he was three?"

I smiled sadly, "He's still there, he just couldn't take immortality any longer. Besides, I was not needed anymore." I smiled at the house, "He has her now. I wouldn't have left if I had thought Eric would not be all right."

Adele's features softened, and with a sigh she nodded, "I fear they are in for rough couple of months."

I nodded in agreement, "Yes, I have sensed the change as well. They can handle it, so long as they have one another."

We continued to watch the house in silence. We would both have to leave soon, we couldn't stay in this plane of existence for too long. Not without attracting unwanted attention

"Your child is strong. I entrust my granddaughter's life to him. I only wish I'd had a chance to meet him in person. If I had known William Compton's true intentions, I would have..."

I chuckled at the expression on her face and fire in her eyes, "I am sure he will get his Adele. Once Fintan and Niall find out, there will be no chance for him. You know how protective they are of their family."

The sun began to rise. "It is time for us to leave, but I believe we will see each other soon."

"Yes, I felt that as well." Adele chuckled, "Until then, Godric."

With that, we both left the Lovers to sleep, knowing that in the days to come, they will have to be stronger and braver then ever.

Good luck my child.

AN: Sorry the chapter is kinda short, but hopefully the Godric and Adele moment kinda made up for it? But I kinda wanted it to end like this. I promise sexy time in the next chapter!
