Chapter 21;
Sookie POV
Waking up was heaven. I was wrapped up in Eric's strong arms and felt amazing. Opening my eyes, I was face to face with my vampire, but his eyes were still closed. Why isn't he awake? Taking my self away from his embrace I stand and unhappily walk out of the room, keen to investigate.
"Claudine?" I call. In an instant a loud pop echoes through the room and she is standing before me in somewhat unusual clothes. On her bottom half, she is wearing brown suede boots that come to just below the knee and her trousers are some sort of tight green leggings and to finish off, her top is a faded tunic. Overall, she looks like the female version of Robin Hood.
"Why is everyone asleep? And why are you dressed like you're going to face the Sherriff of Nottingham?" I ask eager for answers. What the hell is going on?
"Do you remember me telling you of what you have become?" Yep. Can't forget that really can I?
"Yes"
"It is daylight outside and you obviously have the skill to resist the sun, can you day walk though, that is the mystery." My eyes grew at her question. No way am I finding that out! I saw how much Eric burned up in the sun and he wasn't in it for long!
"No" I stated firmly.
"You only have to put a finger outside, it is perfectly safe! You will heal straight away!" I have missed the sun… it never really dawned on me (no pun intended) that I wouldn't ever see the sun again. All I could think about was the positives about it. I do really want to be able to keep my tan…
"Oh what the hell lets go see if I burn"
"Yehy! But first you need some clothes." Snapping her fingers, Eric's t-shirt changed into a white vest top (and white bra) dark green coloured short shorts and thigh high black boots. Claudine might have changed my underwear at the same time, who knows!
"Wait! Let me leave a message for them to know where we are going. Wait, where are we going? I can't be seen! I'm meant to be a vampire!" Grabbing some loose paper, I jotted down a note for Eric.
With Claudine, practising fairy stuff and dressed like I'm going to go raid somewhere. See you when I come back
-S
Smiling, Claudine grabbed my hand and popped us away. Closing my eyes as we transported, I soon opened them as I heard the sweet sound of birds singing and the smell of trees. We were positioned in the shade of a deserted house on the porch and the house was surrounded by a clearing surrounded by trees. I carefully put my hand into the sun's rays not wanting to wait any longer, once again squeezing my eyes shut; I waited for the sting of the burns.
But they never came.
Opening my eyes I saw that my skin remained the same, in fact it was still tanned! How had I not noticed that before? Running out into the sunlight I bounced up and down and spun round and had the sudden urge to run and so I did.
"Sookie…" Claudine said. Turning round, I was shocked at the fact that I was now at least the distance of 3 football fields away from her. How the hell did that happen so fast?
Oh shit. Vampire speed. Well this will take some getting used to. I soon began to run again and I returned to Claudine's side in under a second. The look on her face was clear as the sky, she was impressed.
"That was awesome." Never had I heard such terminology from my fairy godmother, I resisted the urge to giggle. "Now, go smash up a tree, we will begin with vampire abilities, then move onto your human abilities like eating and drinking and telepathy. Then we will move onto the hard stuff, like teleporting, sword fighting and magic." My eyes widened with the mention of magic, how handy would that be if I could change my outfit at the snap of my fingers! Maybe there is a spell to do the washing up.
"That reminds me, what time is it? We can't surely get all that done in one day!"
"Course we can! Its only 3pm! Now go smash up some trees." Huffing, I moved with human speed to a nearby tree and punched it with frustration and it began to fall fast towards the ground. Landing with a heavy bang, I smiled at Claudine who smiled back full of energy.
"So you have super speed, strength and… can you fly? Bill can't can he?"
"Nope, but why would I need to fly if I may be able to pop!" I answered giddily.
"Flying is very handy, doesn't take as much energy as transportation"
"Well I think we should try flying when Eric gets up."
"Ok so next on the list is glamouring. Come on; let's go find a human for you." Claudine outstretched her hand and touched me and before I knew it, we were outside the new shopping mall in Shreveport.
"Er Claudine? Quick change of clothes?" I asked, people were already giving us funny looks. Great.
Dragging me through to an ally close by, she quickly transformed our clothes into a couple of cute dresses that were tight and only just covered our bums and our chests heaved out. Some may say it could be seen as slutty but it had a mix between fuck me and class. Plus our shoes had transformed into killer heels. "Have I ever told you how much I love you? Guess were going out in style today"
"Maybe you should say it more often" she replied winking. As we set off into the mall, our arms linked, we searched for someone for me to glamour. It sounds harder than it actually was, the mall was very crowded and people were in larger groups than we anticipated, plus I didn't really want to glamour anybody. Whilst searching, we also tested my telepathy, my shields were stronger yet my telepathy had become more developed, I was able to search through more recent thoughts and memories and see what they were seeing, it was surprisingly fascinating.
After searching for what seems like hours, we agreed to try another human ability, one I have been looking forward to. Food.
Ordering some chicken nuggets with fries, my mouth was watering from the smell, because of my heightened senses, they smelled even better. We found a quiet area in the food court and I took my first bite. Heaven. How long ago had I eaten? I soon devoured the food and even contemplated ordering more but we were soon interrupted by a group of middle aged men. Their thoughts were vulgar and very strong, and quite frankly, they gave me the creeps, there must have been about seven in total, all approaching Claudine and I sat by ourselves in a deserted corner. Great.
One of the larger men was the first to reach our table, his head was bald and his skin was pale white but his body was immense. His muscles were practically ripping through his clothes and his staggering height would have usually scared me, but people tended to look smaller now since I had met Eric. This imparticular man was called Craig from what I got from his mind; he was 33, single, past prison sentence from assaulting his girlfriend. Nice man. Everything about him read: I'm a dirty bastard and you're the fucking saddle. Like I say, nice man. One memory that I got from his head was recent. It was detailed, oh very detailed. Let's just say Craig liked to swing the other way but no one knew about it.
"Hello ladies." He said as he reached our table and pulled a chair out in between Claudine and me. "Looking for some fun?" I saw exactly the sought of fun he was thinking about and I really didn't want to be a part of his 'fun'. If there ever was an excuse to glamour someone, now would be it. Letting my body take control I looked into his eyes and took control of his mind.
"Craig. You're going to go home and apologise to every girl you have ever treat badly and you will no longer abuse people. You will forget you ever saw us." Taking my eyes off him, I stood up and dragged Claudine away from hum and watched a very confused Craig saunter away leaving his friends shocked and baffled.
As soon as we were alone, she popped us back to the tunnels and our clothes had returned back to the warrior outfits.
Before I could even get my bearings she pulled me close and hugged me tight. "You were amazing! How did you know what to do! I'm so proud of you. Tonight we can continue with your abilities and maybe try some fae ones if you're up to it"
"Sure" I replied.
I only just noticed Eric standing in the door frame of our room looking curious. Soon he was joined by Godric and Pam, they all looked curious. Eric's and Pam's eyes were locked on mine and Godric looked even more curious yet happy as his eyes stayed glued to Claudine, after releasing her from the embrace, she regained some normality.
"Hey guys" I said, trying to break the awkwardness.
"Hey hot stuff" Pam replied. Only now did I remember how badass I am dressed.
"Pamela!" Eric hissed and turned round to give her a cold stare. Playfully slapping his cheek she walked over to both Claudine and I as so did Godric and they both took our outfits in. No one would dare slap Eric, only Pam, hell I don't think Godric would dare do that! At least it was playful. "Very 15th Century, I like. You must tell me where you found them boots later Claudine, I am in need of some new boots."
"Pam don't you have over a hundred? I have heard of the tales of your shoe collection." I reply smiling wickedly at her.
"More than that sweet cheeks, a blood anyone?"
"I am ok thank you Claudine." Eric called up, he was still positioned in the door frame leaning on it with his arm above his head resting on it, his top had ridden up and I had a full view of his toned stomach and 6 pack. Yum. Licking my lips whilst enjoying the view, Eric nudged his head towards our room and walked into it, signalling for me to follow.
"Claudine why don't you fill them in on our day whilst I talk to Eric?"
"Talk!" Pam snorted. Giving her evils I followed Eric into our room and shut the door behind me.
He was laid on the bed outstretched with his hands behind his head and I got another look at his glorious stomach. Walking over as casual as I could, I sat down at the foot of the bed directly in front of his bare feet.
"You look beautiful Sookie, a true warrior" Sitting up he pulled me onto his lap and then laid his head back down with his eyes never leaving mine. Already, I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks and reveal an obvious blush. "What have you done today min älaskade?"
"Well as you can see Claudine decided to totally fit us out in warrior gear although mine is more revealing than hers." I reply as I begin to play with his shirt end. "Well I can day walk, I have vampire speed and I can knock a tree down with one punch. My telepathy is way easier to block now but I can also read people better, and I can see what they are seeing and I can also hear their past thoughts. Oh and I can eat human food! Haven't tried blood yet, don't really have a thirst for it but we will see"
"You can day walk?" Eric asked. His head had snapped up when I mentioned it.
"Yeah, kind of handy." I replied smiling and pecked his lips
"Extremely, have you tried glamouring?"
"Yep, I glamoured a guy. Really easy actually" I answered smiling away but was continually getting distracted by Eric as he lay coincidentally at my mercy. Leaning forward, my lips pressed against his and he responded immediately and pulled my face closer to his deepening the kiss. Soon we were rolling around like horny teenagers and ended up with me straddling his waist, still fully clothed however. Bursting through the door interrupting our steamy session, Pam glided into the room with a massive grin on her face.
"What Pam" I groaned and looked down at my very annoyed Viking and I pouted. In response, he kissed my lower lip and looked at Pam with a cold glare.
"This better be good."
"Well first of all, Sookie's safe house is ready and secondly, Claudine is ready for you baby doll"
"Ok what safe house. And also what's with the nicknames cupcake?" I answered. Honestly, vampires; can't keep up with them. Funnily enough I don't see myself as one even though I'm a third. In my eyes I'm human.
"Dear Abby said it lightens the mood. And hurry up; I think Claudine might jump Godric's bones if you don't." Now I'm really confused.
"What do you mean jump his bones?"
Rolling her eyes she answered my question. "You know jump on his cock and ride it, maybe bounce and most likely suck it. And possibly some other stuff. Who knows what Godric's got into over his millenniums" Now I wanted to puke. Thanks Pam.
"TMI"
"What?" both vampires said in union.
"Too much information! And I didn't literally mean what does it mean! Never mind!" Rolling off Eric, I received a moan of frustration from his end and we both eventually stood and made our way out of the room hand in hand.
In the living room, we were greeted by Godric and Claudine engaged in an arm wrestle. Well it was more of a finger wrestle for Godric and two arms for Claudine. She was trying to push his pinky down and was using both of her hands to attempt it. They looked equally matched but he soon was defeated. Maybe Claudine's warrior clothes came in handy with strength; anyhow, they both now had our full attention.
"Claudine are you ready? I want to show everyone else what I can do and might be able to do."
"Sure, everyone join hands." Claudine held one of my hands as she held Godric's. Eric held my other who was holding hands with Pam and we were popped out of the tunnels and back to the clearing.
"I will never tire of that" Godric stated smiling at Claudine.
"Ok so where should I start?" I asked my fairy godmother.
"For this, you will need concentration. Sit my friend" obeying her command, I sat opposite her on the grass with my legs crossed which was surprisingly easy with these thigh high boots on. "First we will have to make you calm. You are going to attempt to teleport for the first time and if you don't concentrate clearly it will go wrong. Badly wrong."
Eric POV
My balls are seriously going to explode. In the past I have gone many years without sexual intercourse but with Sookie teasing me like she does, it is pure sexual torture. My little minx. Her outfit was perfect, I should really thank Claudine for that but right now all I want to do is spend as much time possible with her. Unfortunately her training interrupts us. I suppose this is karma for all the sins in my long life I have done. Is she my key to forgiveness? No sane being would ever forgive me for my wrong doings, they are too great. Now is not the time to reflect on my past, Sookie is sat opposite the fairy on the grass and looks so focused. Having decided to give them privacy and move out of ear shot, Godric, Pam and I are now in a discussion on the matter of the safe house.
"Once she is there, we cannot visit her, it will be too risky." Pam stated. As much as it pains me, my love and I have to be temporarily separated. She will not like it the vixen, but it is for her own protection. I cannot risk losing her and both my maker and child know this. Her safe house that I have chosen for her is a simple yet homey apartment with two bedrooms and a large living area with one large bathroom. Trying to make her stay there, that will be one of the biggest challenges I have yet to face.
"Hopefully we won't have to have Claudine drug her." Godric added.
"Seriously, what the hell is going on between you and sparkle toes. You so let her win the arm wrestle earlier."
"Do not call her that. We are friends, nothing more. I advise you to leave the subject." What do humans say? She got owned.
"Fine." Pam huffed and then turned to face me. "Hey Eric, since the bombs destroyed a lot of my shoes, can I borrow your credit card?" Pam added, instantly happier.
"You are so spoilt"
"That's why you love me." With that last statement I turned and picked her up and shot into the air before she even registered I had moved. As soon as she realised what had happened, she clung to my body and looked down scared. "ERIC NORTHMAN PUT ME DOWN!"
"Ok." I replied smiling and just before I dropped her, she registered what she had just asked and her face was filled with shock. Falling to the ground she screamed bloody murder and was doing damage to my hearing and I raced down to catch her but was met with her icy eyes staring into mine. I am so fucked. Carefully, I brought her back to the ground and I caught one look at her hair and couldn't hold in my laughter. It was even bigger than she had it in the 80's. Even Godric joined in the laughter.
Sookie POV
In the distance, I saw Eric and Godric laughing at Pam whose hair looked truly ruined. Claudine had closed her eyes in joining me to meditate or whatever crap I'm meant to be doing and I decided not to but didn't tell her; but in all honesty, I wanted to see how Pam's hair got that way and see Eric.
Huffing, I tried to block out my growing want to go see them and failed miserably. Not even noticing the pop that surrounded me, my body was 'transported' to Eric. Opening my eyes, I found not only had I moved, I was positioned on top of his shoulders much to both of our surprise.
Turning his head to find out whose legs that were resting on his chest belonged to; his joy filled eyes met mine. "Miss Stackhouse, care to fill me in on your current reason for being planted on top of my shoulders?"
"I-er-erm"
"Hmm?"
"Um…"
"It seems you are speechless Miss Stackhouse" In one swift move he swivelled my body round so my legs were wrapped around his neck and he slowly moved me down his body and my legs were now wrapped around his waist with my arms around his neck. "Again I ask you, why were you on my shoulders my little fairy?" As he got no response from me, his fingers began tickling all over my stomach which made me begin the battle to stay a hold of him but in the same time get away from him. After fighting both options, I settled with hiding my face in his neck as he tickled me senseless and made me laugh until I couldn't breathe.
"Fine! I'll tell you! Just please stop!" Grinding to a halt, Eric moved my face inches away from his. "You are so stubborn Viking. I popped here!"
"Transported" Claudine interrupted, I hadn't even seen her approach us not with all the tickling.
"Fine, I transported here. I wanted to see why Pam's hair looked so huge and I guess I mainly wanted to see you. We have hardly seen each other."
"So you landed on top of my shoulders?" He asked smirking.
"I guess my abilities were showing in ranks how much better than you I am." As soon as the words left my lips, I jumped down and began to run away from my Viking. In the distance I heard the howling of Pam laughing and Godric snickering and surprisingly, Claudine joining in. Keeping my eyes on the area ahead of me, I noticed how I hadn't heard a word from Eric. Taking a very big risk, I stopped looking where I was going and turned my head to see whether Eric was still there. No he was not. Where the hell is he? My risk of not looking where I was going at my top speed did not pay off. Running straight into Eric's hard chest, I was pushed back and fell onto the grassy floor. If I don't have the vampire ability of healing, I am going to be very pissed. Groaning, I opened my eyes and saw my Viking standing tall with an eyebrow raised.
"Vampire rule number one. Always look where you're going." As he held his hand out to me to help me up, I grabbed it and pulled him down with me, completely taking him by surprise.
"Vampire rule number two. Watch Sookie, she's very sneaky." I added. Moving over my body Eric shut me up with a mind blowing kiss. One of his hands travelled down to my sides and rubbed my waist as his other hand moved the hair out of my face. Not even able to control myself, I let instinct take over my body and I rolled him over onto his back and straddled his waist and continued the deepening kiss. Shortly after, I felt my lungs scream for air. Pulling away, I got off him and laid next to him panting.
"Lover I have something to tell you" Eric stated as he laid on his side and rested his head in his raised hand. Everything about that sentence he said screamed 'this isn't good' but still trusting my vampire, I waited for him to continue. "A safe house has been arranged for you, we cannot stay in the tunnels for long as I need to make my undead life known to the vampire world. My people need me as does my Queen, but most importantly you need me. I cannot protect you if you stay in the tunnels by yourself unprotected. You are to live in the safe house and make you existence not known to anybody except from your body guard. I am most upset about the fact that we must not be in contact whilst you are separated from me. It would not be safe for anybody, it is most likely that I will be heavily watched and followed and I cannot lead them to you."
"You're leaving me?" The words barely came out as a whisper. My whole world crashed. I knew it was too good to be true. I had a perfect boyfriend soon to be bonded and an amazing best friend. Nothing lasts forever but I hoped it would have lasted a whole lot longer. Being in overdrive of sadness and lost, my body became numb and soon, so did my emotions.
"No! It is an only temporary separation, not of our relationship but of our presence." Feelings slowly came back to me and I breathed out a breath I didn't even realised I had held. Slowly, one by one, tears descended down my face.
"Oh" I whimpered in response, almost immediately, I felt strong arms hold my body tightly bringing me to Eric's chest.
Not even realising how long we had stayed just lying there motionless, just enjoying each other's presence for which we both knew we would not have the ultimate pleasure of enjoying for a length of time that could be years even, Pam had found us and informed us that I needed to go to the safe house. At least Eric would get to take me there.
Don't know when next update will be, got a lot of revision to do over next couple of weeks, will try my hardest
The lyrics in the song define exactly what Sookie is:
She's the symbol of resistance
and she's holding on my
heart like a hand grenade
Is she dreaming what I'm thinking
Is she the mother of all bombs
gonna detonate
Is she trouble like I'm trouble
make it a double twist of fate
or a melody that
She sings the revolution the dawning of our lives
she brings this liberation that I just can't define
nothing comes to mind
