Thank you to every one for patiently waiting for the updates I have had a lot of new things happening lately but I look forward to getting back into the stories. Remember to review me bad or good it keeps me going on the next chapters thanks again!
He looked down at the ground thinking he must be crazy he had seen her and held her dead body it couldn't be "Sookie?" he called again, she could feel herself getting annoyed and she lost it "Eric get me the fuck out of her now!" He dropped to the ground grabbing handfuls of dirt and throwing them aside "Sookie?"
Eric dug through the dirt fresh dirt as fast as he could and in a matter of minutes he reached the hood of her coffin "Sookie" he pulled the top off of the coffin off and threw it. Eric looked down in amazement at a panicked Sookie; her eyes were wild and glaring as she leaped forward and started clawing at him clawing at him. He reached for her hands trying to calm her "Sookie its ok you're ok" his voice broke and he reached for her again, Sookie flinched from his hands and screamed into the night air before she disappeared into the woods.
Eric stared at the spot she had been standing clueless as to why she was reacting the way she was, did she hate him for letting her die he knew he hated himself for not finding a way to save her. Eric couldn't sense Sookie or where she was headed and he realized he had just let a new vampire loose with no guidance and he knew he had to find her; he tried to follow her scent through the woods but couldn't seem to keep up with her pattern of thinking.
Sookie felt like her mind was going to explode the night seemed brighter and the air felt cooler on her skin as she ran through the woods following the most delicious smell she had ever smelled, she could hear the man from the cemetery following her and she and she knew he had something to do with her being buried alive and she had to get away far away from him. Sookie ran again this time in the opposite direction hoping to throw him off her trail, as she rushed through the woods heading toward her grans house she could smell that delicious smell again and her mouth started to water.
Eric could hear Tara and Jason packing up Sookie's house and he knew if he could smell the blood pulsing through their veins Sookie could too so he headed for her house hoping to stop what he knew was going to happen. He pushed past the brush at the edge of the woods and hurried up the back stairs of the house, Eric froze standing at the kitchen window he could see Sookie standing in the house watching Tara and Jason with a confused expression on her face and he knew she had no clue what was going on.
Sookie knew the man was watching her she didn't know how but she knew he was there and she hoped he would just go away but everything changed when he burst through the kitchen door and moved toward her faster than she had ever seen anyone move. His arms wrapped around her and she hissed a warning telling him to let her go but he squeezed tighter pulling her toward the door, Sookie fought against him fighting and clawing at him as they went.
A few seconds later things went from bad to worse when Tara came running into the kitchen her feet stopping in just a few feet in front of Eric and Sookie "Jason oh god Jason" she screamed as she stared at her dead best friend. "What the fuck is going on here your you your dead" Sookie turned to face her friend ready to protest what she was saying she wasn't dead she was standing in her house alive, "Tara you should go" Eric said as he felt Sookie's body start to vibrate.
Jason stood in the door way not saying a word watching his sister fight against Eric's grip "you two go now" and Sookie broke free from his arms thrashing in Tara's direction with her fangs extended and razor sharp claws tearing at the floor. "Sookie stop" Tara screamed "what are you doing" Sookie's eyes grew wide as her hands went up over her mouth covering her fangs as she ran her tongue over them, she pushed herself backward into a corner far from Tara and Jason "what is happening to me?"
Eric walked toward her slowly with his hands held out showing her that he meant no harm but she flinched further into the corner stopping him in his tracks "Sookie it's me its Eric lover, don't you remember me?" Sookie looked from him to Jason and back her face covered in thick red tears "why do you keep telling me your name like it is supposed to mean something to me?" Her words hurt like a stake to the heart making him fall to his knees in front of her.
Tara jumped to her feet and ran over to the fridge pulling out a bottle of blood and popping it into the microwave to warm it once the buzzer dinged she quickly handed the bottle to Eric and back up to stand next to Jason. Eric slid the bottle across the floor just between him and Sookie "drink he said looking into her eyes, "what do you mean drink I'm not drinking that" she shrieked at him "you're a vampire Sookie you have to drink."
She looked around the room again focusing on her brother's face to confirm what the strange man was saying, Jason nodded toward the bottle on the floor and watched as his now vampire sister picked up the bottle and gulped it down. "More" Sookie whispered looking up at Tara and watching as she warmed another bottle she took the bottle from Eric's hand this time moving from the corner and pushing herself against the door "how am I a vampire?"
The room went silent as everyone looked at each other each one hoping the other would explain so they didn't have to, Eric moved to sit next to her and placed his hand on hers as he explained the past year to her. Sookie placed her hand over her heart as Eric described her last moments as a human and she started to sob again wiping at the thick red tears that fell from her eyes "so what now?"
Everyone looked at her confused did she really not know she was a vampire didn't she feel the difference "Sookie what was the last thing you remember?" She looked at him pulling her hand free from his as she stood up "I remember sitting on the front porch with Gran and watching the sun shine down on the roses in the front yard, I remember having lemonade and sunbathing while Gran worked in the garden.
"Why can't I remember dying or being sick why can't I remember becoming a vampire?" Sookie started to panic she wondered if there was something wrong with her she had lived her whole life being different thanks to her damn telepathy. She jumped from the floor and flew out of the house screaming in frustration as she went; Eric rushed after her giving her just enough of a head start to clear her head but keeping close enough to stop her from doing something she would regret.
Sookie knew Eric was following her and it only frustrated her more she hated listening to him describe the intimate details between them and not be able to remember it, did she really love him the way he said she did and how could she have been through all that horrible things he said and not remember anything something was missing but she had no idea what. Sookie turned around to Eric placing her hands on his chest she looked in his eyes and tried to feel what he said they felt for each other but she was distracted by the sudden urge to have him inside of her.
Eric knew the look in her eyes her had seen it many times since he met her she wanted him, he wanted her too but for the first time in his life he was afraid of being himself, he wanted to throw her to the ground and ravage her body like he had done so many times before but now they were strangers.
He looked in her eyes watching her for a sign something telling him she knew who he was and that she loved him, Sookie could have cared less the harder he stared the more she wanted to fuck him not because she remembered his powerful love making but because her body was telling her she wanted him.
"Take me " she whispered running her hands up and down his body stopping to stroke his stiffness, "Take me Eric" he smiled at her and as he thought back to the many times she whispered his name while they fucked over and over. They had only a few hours until the sun came up and he was sure she wouldn't be able to fight the pull of the darkness once the sun had risen so he moved fast, Eric pulled Sookie into his arms making her squeal with pleasure as he flew back to the house.
The attic had been his safe haven while they were dealing with Ocella and he hoped it was still as light tight as before as he climbed the stairs cradling Sookie in his arms placing wet kisses along her collar bone. The mattress on the floor still smelled like her skin after a day in the sun and realized as much as he wanted to fuck her like only two vampires can he missed the sound of her heart beating behind her beautiful breast, Sookie could see the lines forming on his forehead and somehow it felt familiar to her "what are you thinking about?"
Eric's eyes focused on hers he didn't know if he should tell her how much he missed her humanity and wished she remembered their time together, Sookie looked around the room and suddenly she found herself curled into a ball in the corner of the attic cradling her arms around her knees. "Please no I will be a good girl please not again don't" her voice trailed off "Sookie what is it what's going on?"
She looked up at him her eyes filled with tears "Bartlet" she whispered into the space between them her fangs dropped and he understood what she was trying to tell him, in a flash she was in his arms again and the two of them headed out of the attic. The sun was coming soon and he had to find a safe place for them to rest for the day, Eric carried her to the kitchen where he heated a few bloods and sat quietly while Sookie collected her thoughts.
"I feel so tired" Sookie said holding her head in her hands she had drank the two bottles of blood Eric out in front of her and her body was screaming for more, her fangs hadn't retracted and her body seemed to vibrate the kitchen chair she just wanted to sleep to make everything stop for a minute. She played over
What Eric called her human life again and again in her head he seemed to be such a sweet man and she could tell he loved her by his actions but she still had no memory of their time together.
They locked eyes and Eric prayed that what happened in the attic meant her memory was coming back and they could start their lives together but he had to prepare himself for what would happen if her memory never returned. He couldn't imagine not being with her the thought made him feel sick after everything they had gone through to be with each other the fact that he could still lose her was more than he could handle, " Sookie we have to go to find a safe place to rest for the day" Eric said nodding at the cemetery.
Sookie understood what he was saying and she could feel the sun approaching so she stood from the table and he followed her out the door, the walk was short and quiet and before she knew it they were standing in front of her tomb stone looking down into the empty grave. "There's only room for one" of all the things Eric had expected her to say that was not one of them, his laughter filled the air around them as he bent down and pulled the broken coffin from the hole tossing it aside.
Eric climbed into the hole holding his hand out for her to take he didn't want to rush her realizing sleeping in the ground was far from what she was use to but he could feel the sun heavy in his body and he knew she must be feeling the same thing. Sookie took his hand and jumped into the hole without hesitation she laid down and closed her eyes to the night Eric watched her amazed at her strength once again she had managed to surprise him.
Eric pulled the dirt in on top of them slowly hoping she wouldn't freak out but her body still and her eyes closed tight as he pulled the dirt loosely around them. He lay next to her in the hole fighting the urge to pull her against him and stroke her back like he had done so many times before when she turned toward him pulling his arms around her and nuzzling her face into his neck. Eric kissed her forehead and let the day take them, the sun was setting and Eric had been awake for over an hour watching her rest he had never wanted anything as much as he wanted her memory to come back.
The sun was fully set and the dirt pushed out of the hole letting the night air touch her skin she opened her eyes and looked around the empty graveyard unafraid of the beautiful blond vampire standing in front of her. Sookie climbed out of the grave shaking the dirt out of her hair she watched him watching her move and she couldn't help but throw her arms around him "Eric."
