I suppose we did have our peace of sorts after that, and I was thankful for it. A chance to spend time with my husband that wasn't going to be interrupted.

Of course, we had to sort out vampire-human affairs that Russell had next to destroyed. It was a hard and long battle, but I couldn't help but feel we were making progress. Eric was getting rather good at it too.

The little creep.

"I thought you were heading over to Billys house to get that damned phone of mine back. If he goes through my messages, I'll freaking know."

Eric didn't respond to that, but continued tracing his hand on my chest, staring as he did so. I rolled my eyes, and he eventually just said. "He won't find anything in them anyway."

"Mmhmm. No messages of you having a filthy mind (!)"

He did chuckle at that, then lean forwards, kissing my neck for a moment. I closed my eyes and let him, then I sighed. "Come on. Get up. The bar's already open. Off to Bills."

"I don't wanna."

"Errhmm." I just said, raising an eyebrow and got up, pulling myself out of his grip. Sure, he was pouting, but oh well. He'd get over it.

Although, he did yank me backwards and back onto the bed, kissing me for a moment before saying. "Fine. Bye Mrs."

"Bye Mr."

He left now, and I sighed, sitting back up, running a hand through my hair. It was about a year later now or so. To be honest, I'd lost track.

I headed up to the bar now, not caring that I was wearing tiny jean shorts and just a dark blue vest with my hair tied back. It was Pam that voiced what I was ignoring-

"Do you really think Eric would let you walk around like that in here?"

I scoffed, going round the back of the bar, picking up a bottle of beer and shrugged. "So? I have my own life. Screw the husband and what he thinks."

"Honey, I hear you when you 'screw the husband.'"

"Ha, jealous?" I smirked, and she rolled her eyes, then just went. "Don't need to be."

Oh I knew what she meant by that, then said in a light voice. "I almost forgot you'd messed around with him."

"Mmhmm. You got that right." She told me, then just said. "Does he still pretty much eat your neck afterwards?"

I smirked at that, then nodded. "Oh, he was doing that ever since he was human."

Yeah. This is what we were doing- comparing notes on how Eric was in bed. Oh well, a girl had to have fun.

Pam now asked. "So... what was he like when he was younger?"

I paused at that, listening to the music playing loudly, tapping a finger in time to the beat. Then-

"Different. I must admit... our home was deep in the woods on the edge of a lake, the mountains in the backdrop." I laughed. "Even when he was eighteen he'd still get excited about the snow."

Pam raised an eyebrow. "He got excited about snow-?" I nodded, chuckling once more. "Yes. He did."

We were both silent, then she asked. "How exactly did you both hook up then? Eric mentioned that his family adopted you, but I never got the juicy details."

"Juicy? Well... we were Vikings. My family drove me out my home for... well, I didn't know why back then, but now I know because I'm a Siren. Anyway, he and his father found me in the woods when I was... uh, think I was twelve or thirteen at the time. They took me in, and we became best friends. But we were more than siblings. When we were nineteen odd, we started seeing each other in a different light."

"I bet he ended up raping you." Pam said smugly, and I scoffed. "I could kick his ass easily in a fight. No, he didn't. But then before we turned twenty, his father and him, along with the rest of the men went off to war in Denmark."

Pam frowned. "He went off to war? He never told me that."

"Pammy... I think there's a whole lot about him that you don't know." I said quietly, and she pouted, looking pissed off. But she knew as well as me that there was another side to Eric. One that she'd not seen. One she'd never see.

"Do continue." She just told me, taking a swig of her drink, looking almost glum it seemed.

"Well, they said six months... but then over a year passed, and they never returned. But as always, he came back. And yeah, that was when he next to raped me."

She laughed at that, then nodded. "I thought so."

"We were in our twenties by that, and no one would marry us. Our arguments about burned down the village. Actually, Eric did end up almost burning down our house during one of our arguments."

But now she raised an eyebrow. "So, you were sleeping with him for... ten years or something, and you never got pregnant?"

I rolled my eyes at that, then just said. "Hmm, I did wonder that. Always did think Eric incompetent."

To be honest, I was happy now that me and Pam had put our differences aside, the past exactly that. The past. Of course, I couldn't help but feel a little glum that Eric had changed her all those years ago. Plus Eric had slept with her, among other things.

Still- I was the one with the wedding ring at the end at the day.

It was while we were comparing notes that Eric came back, hearing no doubt what we were talking about.

"Don't you both have better things to do than discuss bed related activities involving me? I know I'm good, but still." He just said, leaning across the bar, folding his arms on the counter.

I smirked. "You never told me you tried a guy before."

He glanced at Pam, then rolled his eyes. "Ok, both of you stop this."

"Only if you give me my phone." I said smugly and he pulled out my phone. As I went to reach for it, he pulled it back and just said. "Kiss first."

I rolled my eyes, then leaned forwards, kissing him for a moment, a hand sneaking forwards and nabbing my phone back. At that, I turned around and walked into his office, crouching down and plugging in my charger.

"Who gave you permission to wear that?"

I rolled my eyes at that, then turned to see Eric staring with a raised eyebrow at the short shorts I was wearing, then scoffed. "What's wrong with it?"

"It's short."

"No shit my dear husband." I smirked, putting my phone down and turned, walking over to him and closed the door, smirking a little more. "No one would dare touch me anyway."

"But they look. Intently I might add."

I wrapped my arms around his waist, sighing. "You've no reason to be jealous."

He was silent, and for a start, I thought he was thinking... but then he just said. "Did you feel that?"

"Feel what?"

His eyes flickered to the door, then just said. "Sookie."

"What about her? She's gone. It's been a year now since she vanished."

He just said. "I felt her. She's back."

"What do you mean you felt her."

He sighed, then just said. "Just trust me. She's back."

"I still don't know why you bought her house..."

"It's better to have her where we can keep her safe and-"

"Safe? Eric... do you fancy her or something?"

He rolled his eyes at that, then just said. "She's Fae, Frey."

I couldn't help but giggle at that, and he frowned. "What's so funny?"

"Sorry. Just how you said Fae Frey."

He groaned, then just pulled me into his arms, going-

"What am I gonna do with you?"

-WEIGHTOFTHEWORLD-

Eric did go though, leaving me alone with Pam to keep the bar up and running for the evening. But one prick had to try and flirt with me huh?

Pam kicked him out well and truly. The last thing we needed was Eric finding out.

When he did come back, he confirmed the suspicions he'd told me about-

Sookie was back.

And Erics reason why made me laugh.

"Oh, just a trip to fairyland."

I raised an eyebrow, then just laughed. "Really? Fairyland? Hell... brilliant. Did she see Edward Cullen and his family there? I'm surprised if she didn't."

He rolled his eyes, then chuckled. "You do make me laugh my dear." But now he groaned and just said. "I have to go and see his majesty."

It was my turn to roll my eyes, and then went up on tiptoes, kissing his cheek. "Hurry back. Pam's boring me to death."

"Hey-!"

He nodded, kissing me properly for a moment, then I picked up the leather jacket I'd bought him so many years ago, letting him take it from me as he walked out the bar.

I watched the door close, looking and feeling morose.

I headed bed early that night, having been awake during the day. It was easier to sort out bar business and buy drinks when they didn't know that I was a vampire and where the bottles were for.

We made more money with this cheaper alcohol.

Sleep was much welcomed, but the next evening, Pam woke me up, and I could sense she was flustered more than anything.

"What-?" I muttered sleepily, and she just said. "Something's happened to Eric."

That was all I needed to hear to sit bolt upright, my eyes widening as I went. "What's happened-?"

She bit her lip a little, then sighed. "We have to go now."

When I got in the car, Pam driving, I realized we were heading towards Bon Temps, home of Sookie-kins.

"You had better not be playing a bloody game with me." I growled to her, and she laughed darkly. "Believe me- you'll wish I was."

We pulled up outside Sookies place and got out, me following Pam who knocked on the door. I didn't wait, heading in, not needing to be invited in from my Siren side. That was a good thing...

But maybe I should have just waited?

Sookie yelled in surprise as I pushed the door open, and I felt something collide into my chest. I flew backwards and out the house, slamming into the dirt outside where someone pinned me into the dirt, snarling violently.

"No! Let her go now!"

I heard that yell, Sookies, then looked up, my eyes widening as I met a pair of hostile ice colored eyes and fangs bared at me.

"Eric-?" I just said, wondering why I was afraid. At my words, he frowned a little, going. "You know me?"

I heard running footsteps, then Eric was pulled off me. For a moment I just lay there, startled by the dark look he gave me once more, and then finally got to my feet, staring at him-

What the hell had happened-? My own husband... had made an attempt to kill me.

Sookie was talking, and I just muttered. "What happened-?"

It soon transpired that Bill had sent Eric off to a witches coven to pretty much scope them out or whatever. And now... Sookie had found him, not knowing who he was, except that he was a vampire.

Had Bill sent him into a trap-? I was going to murder that fucking bastard-!

Sookie now looked to Eric, then said hastily after introducing Pam. "This is Freya. Or Freyr wasn't it?"

I nodded and she sighed. "She's your wife."

Eric raised an eyebrow, then scoffed. "She's beautiful, anyone can see that... but I'm not married. I don't know who she is. She's an intruder... that's why I kicked her out. She's- "

"Eric, she's your wife." Pam growled, and he gave me a filthy look.

He didn't... believe us-?

Oh god...

I stepped forwards and raised a hand to his neck where he kept his wedding ring on a golden chain. He'd only end up losing it if it was on his finger.

When I went to snag the chain, he growled. "Don't touch me."

Sookie just snapped. "She's no threat Eric."

"Well look for yourself then." I said grumpily, and he rolled his eyes, but reached all the same, finding the chain and pulled it out onto his shirt where he frowned at the golden ring on the end.

"This is a trick." He just said to me, then reached back and undid the clasp, hesitating for a second, then just put it in my hand, turning away and went into the other room.

I just looked down at the chain and ring in my hand, hardly able to think straight.

"I- I just-" I couldn't finish a sentence and Sookie sighed heavily. "I'm sorry Freyr."

I shook my head, and Pam just said. "We need to hide him from the witches. He's not safe."

At that, I sniffed back and tear and just said. "I'll stay. Head back Pam, keep me updating on what's happening."

She was silent, then just said quietly. "You might get hurt if you stay."

"He wouldn't leave me... so I'm not leaving him." Was my argument, and Sookie said. "I have a place where you can sleep. You can sleep in the day right?"

I nodded, then glanced back to where Eric was in the other room.

Of all things I expected...

This definitely wasn't one of them.
