As Eric promised, the next evening he dragged me to one of those offices that let vamps get legally married. Wow. Marriage... that wasn't often.
And it went ahead as planned, Pam acting the witness, looking more or less bored and sulky as she sat there with her ankles crossed. I glanced behind me, wishing Godric would just pop up. He promised to be here...
But even he couldn't keep all his promises it seemed. He must have had a reason for it, I knew him well.
"Do you, Eric Northman, take our here Freyr Eden to be ya wife?"
Well, maybe not as romantic as I hoped it would be, and the fact I was wearing a white sundress instead of a wedding one. A bunch of daisies in my hand. Still, I'd made Eric wear a suit. And he looked pretty good enough to rape.
Huh. I was thinking about raping him at our wedding? Only me (!)
"I do." He just said, then the vicar of sorts looked to me and said. "Do you, Freyr Eden, take Eric Northman to be ya husband?"
"I do." I smiled, then we took it in turns to put the rings on each other, and I said under my breath as I almost failed to get it on his. "Fatty.
The vicar nodded, then said. "Then you are both now married under the new vampires law of Louisiana." I grinned, then threw my arms and bouquet around his neck, kissing him hungrily for a moment.
I was married.
Freyr Northman.
Welcome to fucking hell...
-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-
Needless to say really that we spent the rest of that evening in bed together, then into the early morning. Least Pam opened the bar and left us alone, otherwise I would have truly tore her head off.
When I woke up the next evening, Eric wasn't there, and I sighed, turning over in the sheets and closing my eyes once more-
I really wasn't in the mood to get up just yet.
But a knock sorted all that out, then Pams voice.
"Mrs Northman (?)"
Great. Now she was taking the mickey out of me.
"What oh Pamela dearest?" I smirked, getting up and pulling Erics dressing gown on, going over and opening the door to face her. "Where's Eric?" I asked now, and she sighed. "Gone to see Russell."
"What-! You let him-!"
"Calm down Mrs!" She just yelled back, stopping me dead by her hand, and I snarled, baring my fangs at her as I hissed. "Give me one good reason."
"We have a plan."
"Oh-?"
"Sookies tied up downstairs. We have a plan."
"Yeah, you just said." I growled and Pam rolled her eyes. "Trust him. Yes, n-" but she stopped dead as the door bashed open upstairs, and I frowned. "The bars not open yet?"
"No." She said, vanishing in a flash.
"Where is Sookie-!"
Oh bloody great. Bill was here.
I pulled on my clothes, taking my time with my hair- Pam had it covered.
But just then, I looked in the mirror and saw someone behind me, something glinting in her hand. A scream escaped me as a silver chain was yanked around my neck, pulling me backwards and upstairs.
I was dumped next to Pam, my wrists bound by silver to her own, and I scoffed to her. "Bondage. Yummy (!)"
"Oh shut up Mrs Northman."
I went for Sookie once more, but then something whacked me hard, knocking me out...
God I hated being a mix of vamp and siren...
-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-
When I came to, I was lying on one of the sofas, my bindings gone. I groaned a little, then opened my eyes, hearing voices.
I sat up, staring at the group, seeing that one tall figure that made me so thankful he was safe.
But Russell was there too.
Eric looked over to me now, then Russell looked to, going. "Ah. Your wife's awake I see. Lovely. She might be able to back up your story."
"Story?" I frowned, getting to my feet, and Eric said nonchalantly. "You know. How Sookie here is part fairy, and her blood lets you walk in the sun?"
Wow. Like... what the fuck-?
"Mmhmm, that's true. Now, why are we bringing this up?" I said, walking over to where Sookie was bound. Russell just looked at me and went. "Ah. That little enigma. Just tell me, little Viking bitch... what are you?"
Eric had a plan to kill Russell, I could tell that... and his tiny nod made me say. "I'm a Siren."
Russells eyes widened, then he just laughed, putting his hands together and went. "Truly-? Wow. I am honored."
"What's a Siren?" Bill asked, and Eric just said. "A species of water beauties."
"Mermaids?"
"You see a fucking tail?" I snapped and Bill shut up, then just said to Eric. "She's been enchanting you to love her."
"Say that again Billy, and I will rip-your-head-off." I snarled, voice deadly. I think they all realized that wasn't the case.
"What can you do?" Russell asked me interestedly. He'd obviously heard the stories before, for he was watching me with childish excitement.
"Well, my blood is poisonous to a vampire if I'm in water or touching it. I can enchant any male if I'm touching it too. I'm only just discovering it all, so I don't know what else I can do just yet."
"No wonder you're so beautiful. Sirens were revered in ancient times as gods and goddesses. People would sell their souls to be touched by one, to taste their blood." Russell just said, and I chuckled. "If I didn't want you dead, and vise versa... I'd be flattered."
"Right. Siren talk over... what about fairies?"
Everyone looked to Eric as he said that, and Russell laughed to me. "I don't suppose your 'mystic powers' stretch to being able to walk in the sun?"
"Nope. Sorry. Princess Of Darkness me."
Russell looked almost disappointed at that, then rubbed his hands together. "You first then."
"My pleasure." Eric chuckled, then Sookie shook her head. "No... it won't work-!"
To my surprise, Bill just said. "If you kill her, there won't be anymore fairy blood."
But a second later, Sookie was screaming as the pair bit into her, next to draining her dry.
Afterwards, Eric took me aside and just said. "Trust me, ok?"
I let him kiss me for a moment, closing my eyes for a moment, wondering why... it felt so painful.
"Eric-?" I said quietly, and he just smiled faintly, touching my cheek gently, then said in a louder voice. "Ok Russell. Ready?"
He walked back over to the door, then said. "The camera should show you the proof."
I stepped over to it first, as he vanished out of the door. We all waited around the monitor, and I watched with my unbeating heart frozen more than ever. Eric walked out into the sun, and I heard Russell exclaim outloud.
On screen, Eric blew me a kiss, then beckoned for Russell to come out. He did and I watched in concern as he the pair stood out there. I looked back to Pam now, seeing blood red tears running down her face that I realized what Eric was going to do.
But at that, she and Bill grabbed me, Pam clamping a hand over my mouth as I went to yell for him not to do it. They tied me to the post, and gagged me. Pam just put her hands on my shoulders and said. "He knows what he's doing Frey."
She took the gag off, and I shook my head. "Let me go. Please."
But then Sookie came round, and she saw Eric on the monitor... it couldn't have been anything good, because her eyes widened. She looked to me, then ran forwards, shoving Pam aside as she untied me and said quietly. "I know you can walk in the sun."
A silence, then I nodded, dashing forwards and outside where Eric was next to unrecognizable from the burns. Sookie followed me out.
"Go away..." Eric just muttered to me, and I wanted to slap him, but he was too weak for that. Sookie reached us, and Russell yelled. "Get me inside now you fucking fairy!"
I scoffed, and he kept yelling so much that Sookie ended up blasting the silver manacles apart, taking me aback. She really was a poof, I mean fairy.
I dragged Eric inside, leaving Russell out in the sun to burn.
"Eric?" I just muttered when he was in the shadows, a hand on his chest. Oh god... not like this. Fuck no not like this.
I looked to Sookie, but knew my Siren blood would be more of a kick. So I put my wrist to his mouth. But he was too weak to bite down, and I snarled at someone who took a step forwards, making them stop dead. I bit my wrist and put it back, feeling him drink at last.
"That's it love. Come on, drink." I sighed, wincing a tiny fraction as his fangs finally buried themselves into my wrist. He finally took enough, and I pulled it away, going. "Russell must... be spared."
"What the fuck? Eric-?"
"Godric told me to."
I froze at that, wondering-
Had he seen him-? Or... was he hallucinating?
The latter. Godric was alive... but he wasn't a daywalker.
Sookie went out to get him, and I pulled Eric into my arms, hugging him so tightly I thought I'd pull his head off.
"I'm alright love." He muttered to me now, and I sighed into his chest. "Never do that to me again, ok? I am so slapping you later on."
He got to his feet now, then Russell was tied to the post, complaining once more. Eric sent him a filthy look, then pulled out his phone, walking into the other room. I heard him mention something about a van, then he came back in, sighing. "We have to go to ground. Sookie, guard him."
"Why can't Freya do it-!"
"Because I don't want my wife anywhere near him." He growled.
"Just do it." I snapped, really not in the mood. I could have lost my husband this easily... no. I wouldn't let that happen. She gave in, and Eric headed down to the room after telling her not to kill him. No matter what.
I followed him down, and as soon as the door was closed, I slapped him, tears running down my face. He took it, then sighed, pulling me into his arms, going. "I'm sorry. But I had to do that."
Tears streamed more than ever onto his shirt, and he sighed again, stroking the back of my head. I let him pull me over to the bed, lying together on it, my eyes closed.
God...
He leaned forwards and just kissed me softly, pushing me onto my back and climbing onto me, our kisses growing more and more passionate. I could still feel that he was weak from the sun, so I sighed, going. "Just take some more already."
A pause, then he just bit into my neck without a word. For a minuet or two he fed on me, then let me go, rubbing the blood from his face as he kissed me again.
All day long while in bed together I let him kiss me, our hands tracing each others bodies as much as we could. It was one of those moments that we were thankful to be alive.
When evening came, I asked Eric what he was planning with Russell. "It's a surprise." He smirked, yanking on his jeans. I rolled my eyes, then just walked out with him where Russell was still bound and peeling like a baked spud.
A van was outside, and a rather dashing man walked in. I didn't recognize him, and Eric said. "This is Alcide. Now... I have one more request of you before I clear your debt."
The man frowned, and Eric grinned, looking to me. "Alcide here is a werewolf."
"Oh!" I said, excited. Alcide looked to me, then just said. "Freyr right?"
Eric said now. "Show Frey here your wolf form. It's, ah, always been a thing she's wanted to see."
Alcide gaped at me, "How the hell did you marry him?" then looked to Eric, going. "You swear it? It's all clear if I finish all this?"
"I swear." Eric said, then Alcide went into the other room, no doubt to strip off or something. Then the wolf came in and I clapped my hands together like a little girl on Christmas morning.
"Oh you are adorable!" I laughed, stepping forwards and crouched down before him, running my hand through the fur. He whined in annoyance, and I chuckled. "Thanks for this. You can get changed now."
He trotted off back into the other room where I heard him change back. Russell just snarled as I lived out one of my little dreams.
"Stop playing fucking puppy and let me out of here-!"
"Oh shut up gayboy."
-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-
To my annoyance, when I nipped to get my coat, Eric went without me. Like... that little shit. I wanted to hear Russell scream as we ended him. Maybe I was a little sadistic, but oh well.
Maybe Eric would regret not taking me now...
Pam was the one to feel it, then just muttered. "Eric-"
"What-?"
"He's in trouble-" she just said, and my eyes widened, feeling it myself soon after, then just said to Pam. "Stay here-"
"Like hell."
As fast as we could, we ran to the place Eric was calling from.
"Shit-!" I hissed as I saw the concrete that was setting, and Pam laughed. "After you Mrs Northman."
God did she have a habit of calling me that now.
I jumped into the mix, feeling around for him, starting to panick now. When I felt him, I tried to pull him out, but the weight of the liquid stone was forcing him down. Pam jumped in too, helping me drag him to the side where he just coughed violently, groaning a little. I was rubbing the grey of his face, eyes wide. "What happened?"
"Bill..." He just muttered, and I groaned when I realized it was all in my hair and clothes. Although, Eric was worse. Covered head to toe. Pam left now to head back.
But now Eric looked to the side and froze, going. "It's over. Ok?"
I thought he was talking to me, but I just said. "What?"
"I'm seeing things again." He nodded to the side, and I looked, my eyes widening- he hadn't been. Godric was stood there, on the edge, and that glance told me that I wasn't to let him know.
"It's over my child. Go home with Freyr. Your wife looks exhausted, mentally and physically."
Eric just looked at him, then sighed, looking to me. "I have one more thing to do. Go home. I'll be there shortly. I promise."
I paused, and he took my hand, saying. "Trust me."
At that, I let him go, and he was gone in a flash.
I looked to Godric now, then just said quietly. "You can't expect him to stay in the dark forever."
He stepped forwards and took my left hand into his, looking at my wedding band. "I'm sorry I wasn't there."
I nodded a little, then asked. "Where have you been? Why... hasn't Sookie told us about you being alive? She must have known..."
"I made her promise." He told me, and I sighed. "Why?"
"Because I've been busy. Sirens."
"What-?"
"I've been hunting down the one killing the Sirens."
That took me aback, and I spluttered. "Wha-? What did you find?"
"Alot my child." He said, sighing heavily. Then he elaborated. "I'm sorry to be the one to tell you..."
"You found the killer? Who was it?"
"I think you already know my dear."
A pause, and I shook my head, unable to believe it. "No... it can't be him."
"I'm sorry. But it's Dorian."
My heart broke at that, and I shook my head again, tears in my eyes. "No... why is he-? He can't be."
"Dorian is three thousand years old, my dear. His birth name was Dorinchan... he's one of the oldest Sirens to be alive."
"Three thousand-? But why is he doing all this-?"
"Because... he's taking revenge." Godric sighed, then I frowned- I knew Dorian well. At least, I thought so. He'd taken care of me for so long, even rescuing me from Russell. He was such a good friend to me.
"Revenge on what?"
"Well, he was banished from his birth. He committed an act that was forbidden."
"Godric. Just friking say it already. I'm not in the mood for waiting."
"He raped a human, Freyr. A thousand years ago."
At his words, I just laughed weakly, then shook my head-
But Dorian had told me himself. A Siren got banished for committing that act... for raping my mother. He'd told me so long ago...
I should have guessed he was talking about himself. How often was it that you saw another Siren? And one just happened to find me and stay with me like... he was a father to me.
Godric looked grave, and then said quietly. "He won't harm you. You can be sure of that."
"Why didn't he tell me-?"
He sighed. "I think he was ashamed of his actions."
"But... he..."
"He raped your mother, Frey. No one would be proud of that."
I had tears running down my face, then I just said. "But why didn't he tell me who he was to me? Did he think I wanted to... go through life without a father-?"
Godric pulled me into his arms, saying into my hair. "It wasn't my intention to make you sad when I came back my dear. I just... wanted to make sure you were safe."
"And you did." I smiled weakly, then just said, rubbing my tears away. "I have to head back. Eric will be wondering where I am if he's back already... you won't come?"
He stayed silent, and I nodded, then asked. "Your house has been repaired."
"I know. I think... I've let Isabel and Stan think me dead for long enough."
"Good. She misses you."
He looked guilty, and I nodded. "I'll see you soon though?"
"Of course." He smiled, hesitating for a moment, then just leaned forwards, lips almost touching my own. But at the last moment, he kissed my forehead that wasn't covered in concrete.
I left soon after, and when I glanced back, he was gone.
-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-
When I got back, I found the shower occupied by a tall figure trying to get the concrete from his hair. I stripped off and got in too, wrapping my arms around his waist, my cheek against his bare back.
We stood there, letting the water pour onto us for a little while, then I said, eyes still closed. "I think it's over now."
He turned around and raised a hand, pushing the midnight hair from my eyes, frowning a little. "I hope so."
I smiled a little, then he leaned down and kissed me softly for a moment, pushing me against the cold tiles as they got more intense. At least I got the concrete from my hair, and some alone time with my husband. Although, I wasn't too overkeen on the whole 'sex in the shower' thing. Talk about awkward. Oh, and Eric kept smacking the back of his head on the showerhead- it was his own fault for being so tall. Plus the tiles were cold against my back as he kept pushing me into them.
So we gave up and relocated to the bedroom. Much better. Gotta love red silk sheets. Sleazy, but who gave a shit?
Well, not us anyway.
But I had to hope now.
Hope that it really was all over and we could live in peace.
Ha. Asif...
Life sucks blood, then you get staked.
